The Mafia’s Possession

”I am going to announce my fiance to the whole world,” Flynn finally said, and Melanie widened her eyes.

What!?

Was this Tycoon kidding her!?

”Mr. Flynn Harlan, Just because I stole from you does not give you the right to claim me without my permission,” Melanie said not minding what this man was going to do to her.

”Hm,” Flynn nodded his head mockingly.

”Oh, you think you will go announce me and I’ll keep my mouth shut? You’re so mistaken, Mr tycoon. You think I won’t shout to everyone that you are forcing me into this!?” Melanie screamed.

When Flynn said nothing, Melanie continued.

”I’ll ruin the reputation you have been keeping in front of everyone you’re planning to introduce me to, if not I cease to be Mel…”

”Melanie Tatum,” Flynn grinned, completing it for her.

”You think you have a choice? Didn’t you know? You became mine, the moment you stole from me,” Flynn’s expression turned serious.

”Yours? Oh, please. Do you think you can have me because of that money!?”

Flynn said nothing but only opened the suitcase that was sitting beside him. He brought out a big brown envelop that was filled with Melanie’s pictures.

Melanie furrowed her brow as she saw tons of pictures that belongs to her. Flynn kept a straight face and kept going through the pictures until he came across Mrs. Melinda Tatum’s picture. He kept the rest in the suitcase and held Mrs. Melinda’s picture in his hand tightly.

”W… what is going on?” Melanie asked.

”I see you love your mother very much,” Flynn smiled at the older woman’s picture.

”What do you mean?” Melanie queried.

”If anything should go wrong in the announcement I’m going make about you being my fiance, you will cry over this beautiful woman smiling so widely in this picture, I promise,” Flynn whispered.

”How dare you threaten me with my mother!” Melanie said through gritted teeth.

”I am not threatening you, sweetheart,” Flynn said, grabbed her by the neck, and pulled her very close to his face.

”I’m just trying to let you know that I don’t bluff,” He said, his breath fanning her face.

Flynn let go of her neck and sat upright, adjusting his immaculate white suit.

”There will be a lot of eyes on you, just act all-natural. If anyone should find out about this, I’ll kill both you and your mother. And when I say no one must find out, it also includes your nosy friend, Tyler Moore,” Flynn said, his eyes fixed on his phone.

He knew Tyler!?

Wow, this man is surely something.

”Be expecting some stuff to happen out there, it could be a kiss or a hug from me to you. It is not the first time we’ll kiss anyway,” Flynn said, his gaze not leaving his phone.

Oh, This is doom.

”I see you don’t have any objection,” Flynn finally looked at her.

Who told you I don’t have objection!?

Melanie screamed inwardly.

Her mother’s life was on the line, she dare not refuse this deadly man sitting beside her.

”If you are asked how we met, simply say you bump into my car, and if you are asked how long we’ve been in this relationship, tell them It will be a year in two weeks,” Flynn said.

”Why are you doing this to me?” Melanie finally asked.

”There are a lot of ladies out there, why did you have to do this to me?” Melanie sobbed.

”You brought this upon yourself, My little lady,” Flynn smiled.

”And, don’t forget to smile very widely in front of everyone. Your mother will pay for anything that goes wrong,” Flynn said and wore his sunshade.

Then, Devon pulled the car in front of an incredibly tall building.

Devon rushed out to open the car for his boss and as soon as Flynn came down from the car, he rushed to open the door for Melanie.

Flynn stretched his hand forward and beckoned to Melanie to hold his hand which she did immediately.

When Melanie got out of the car, Flynn curved his arm, and Melanie locked her arm in his.

”Smile,” Flynn whispered, smiling at her.

Everyone stared in utmost surprise seeing Flynn Harlan smiling so widely at a woman.

Flynn ignored the look on his employee’s faces as he entered the building with Melanie.

”Just keep smiling,” He smiled at her again.

Devon opened the elevator and bowed slightly as his boss stepped in with the woman with him then he also entered. He pressed the 21st floor which Flynn’s office and the conference room are.

A few minutes later, the elevator stopped, and Devon ushered his boss out with his woman out. They walked for a few seconds and they stopped in front of a room that read ‘conference room’

Flynn took a look at the lady beside him before he gestured to Devon to open the door.

‘What the hell!’

Melanie thought angrily when she found the room full of reporters pointing their camera lenses at her and Flynn.

The flash of light from the camera flashes was so painful to the eyes that Melanie almost didn’t realize where she was and what she was doing.

In front of the dozens of cameras and the reporters that were starting to speak, Melanie didn’t know what to do.

Flynn said nothing to her about having to face any reporters.

Oh, shit!

Melanie, with a confused look, managed to sit on the chair that has been prepared for her and Flynn.

What the reporters were saying wasn’t on her mind, she wasn’t even listening to anything they were saying till Flynn stood up and faced the microphone.

”Meet Melanie Tatum, my fiance, and as a matter of fact, we’ll be getting married in two weeks,” Flynn said.

Married in two weeks? To who?

Oh, please…

Melanie scoffed inwardly but smiled at Flynn who smiled at him back.

”Seems like the most wanted bachelor is taken!” A man said and everyone in the room laughed.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

”Miss, can you tell us how you and our famous businessman meet?” A woman threw the question at her.

Melanie answered the question just the way Flynn had told her to answer it.

Flynn held her by the waist and kissed her on the lips and everyone in the room screamed and the cameramen aim their camera brutally capturing the rare moment.

~~

Melinda’s leg failed her after watching the news and fell on the floor.

Her daughter was getting married to Flynn Harlan?

She grabbed her phone that was lying on the table and dialed Melanie’s number but it only kept directing her to voice mail.

Her daughter had never for once mentioned to her that she has a boyfriend.

Oh, over her dead body will she allow her daughter to marry that man.

”Mother!” Tyler rushed in.

”Did you see the news, Mum?” Tyler asked as he knelt beside the woman.

”You saw it too?” Melinda asked.

Tyler nodded his head and faced the television where Melanie and Flynn Harlan’s picture was plastered across the screen with the caption ”The hottest bachelor finally got a bride,”

Like… What the fvck!?

”Melanie did a press conference with that tycoon announcing their marriage!” Melinda screamed.

”Mum, calm down. Let her get home and explain herself to us,” Tyler said patting the woman in front of him.

He pulled her into a hug then zoned out. What is wrong with Melanie?

”You didn’t tell me it was a press conference!” Melanie yelled at Flynn as soon as they entered the car.

”Why should I have told you?” Flynn asked.

”You should have told me! My mother will be so disappointed in me! You should have let me tell her that I would be marrying you before you announced it. But no, your ego won’t let you do that. If it hurt you so much that I stole from you, why didn’t you k. ill me or ruin me then? It has been fvcking six months, dude! Are you so inhuman to think of hurting my mother because of the money I stole from you? I bet you don’t have a mother!” Melanie cried not regretting anything she said.

Devon stopped the car abruptly and looked back at his boss whose eyes shot red immediately.

Flynn raised his hand to hit Melanie but Devon held his hand Immediately.

”Boss, please,” Devon pleaded on the younger woman’s behalf.

”What the hell did you say?” Flynn gritted his teeth in anger.

”Why? You were going to hit me? I guess it hurts you so much that I talk bad against your mother, oh wow!” Melanie snapped.

Devon closed his eyes frustratedly, wishing this woman will understand that Flynn was already annoyed as it is.

”Devon,” Flynn called softly.

”Yes, boss,” Devon answered.

”Drive to Melanie’s house. I want to meet her mother,” Flynn said not taking his eyes away from Melanie’s eyes.

Wait… Did I go too far?

Melanie queried inwardly.

TBC…
