Chapter 344: Anger
Inside the room that was her prison, Melanie stared at the delicate showpieces and flower vases on the table, her vision blurred with tears.
He didn’t even know she was with him! With a sudden, guttural cry, she slammed her hand across the surface, sending them crashing to the floor. Glass shattered and porcelain cracked and even water spilled over the edge of the table and onto the carpet. But the sound wasn’t enough, it didn’t match the fury and hurt clawing at her chest.
She kicked the edge of the table, then grabbed a framed photo and hurled it at the wall with trembling hands. Her breath came in ragged gasps and she could hardly breathe, but the ache in her heart, wouldn’t stop... as she sank to her knees
"Why?" she whispered, voice cracking. "Why did you do this to me?"
The shards buried into her knees, but she could not care less. Was even unaware of the pain. All she could feel was the weight in her chest, the choking grief, the disbelief that Adam had failed to recognise her.

"Melody-" Cadence’s voice was quiet, hesitant.

She pushed at his hands when they tried to steady her, and in doing so, she lost her balance and toppled backward. A sharp sting tore through her palms as more glass dug into her skin, making her cry out in pain..
