Chapter 281: Melody
Melody stared at the door, a deep frown on her face. Could it really be true? Could Melanie Collins actually be her sister? And if she was... what was she supposed to do about it?
The real issue wasn’t even the idea of suddenly gaining an unknown sister. That part, while strange, wasn’t entirely unbearable. She could live with that. What bothered her-what truly threw everything off-was something else entirely.
Because if Melanie was her sister... that would make Adam her brother-in-law.
And that changed everything.
She knew and understood that nothing could ever happen between her and Adam. It had just been a distant, hopeless thing- just a passing infatuation she could nurse in silence. She had even told herself that once Adir was no longer in her class, it would fade away. That with time, she’d move on. Maybe even laugh about it later.
But if Melanie turned out to be family, if the connection became real and permanent- then the fantasy would have to end for good.
No more late-night wondering. No more harmless dreams about Adam.
Added to that, was her jealousy. Ever since she had experienced that moment with Adam’s arms around her, she had been incredibly jealous of Melanie’s existence.
And now, if she was her sister, it would be over. Completely.
