Chapter 341: A Realization
Melody sat there for a long moment, staring at the open door in a daze. How could this have happened?
A contract marriage?
She could hardly wrap her head around it. That couldn’t be right. Melanie would never agree to something like that... would she? And Adam, no matter how cold he had just been, didn’t strike her as someone who’d fake a marriage for show and for money.
But then again, that woman who had told her about Melanie sleeping with Adam for revenge seemed to be true. So, Adam really had been her brother in law and they had teamed up for revenge against Spencer.
Gritting her teeth, she pushed herself upright, wincing at the sting in her lower back. First thing, she needed to do was look for some medicine. Thankfully, as she opened the drawer next to the bed, she found a pain relief spray. As she did, her gaze fell on the other thing in the drawer. And she frowned. Condoms... If they were in a contract relationship and did not touch each other... why was this here?
She gave one last look at the condoms before closing the drawer. Spraying the medicine, she lay down and once again, her thoughts were a mess, trying to make sense of what to do now that Adam had made such a big revelation. Could he be lying? Or did Melanie and Adam live separate lives and Melanie had another lover?
Once the worst of it dulled, she finally had an idea. Since this was ’her’ room, she could snoop around in peace. Slowly, she sat up and then looked around the room, taking in the vanity table, bookshelves, the dresser near the balcony, etc
Everything was hers. Or rather, Melanie’s.
Melody moved slowly, closed the door to her room and even though her body still felt sore, she was intent on finding out the truth. If there was any lie in Adam’s words, she would find out after she had looked into Melanie’s things.. She walked towards the large wooden wardrobe across the room and carefully opened it, feeling her heart race. What if she was caught snooping?
As she looked back at the door that was closed still, she felt a bit of relief. Even if he did come in, she could just claim that she was taking out some loungewear.
