~ At the moment ~
A vibration is felt, Caleb reaches for his phone , “Hello?”
“I have been searching for you darling, I was told you are at the wine cellar, please make your way upstairs I can't seem to climb down my legs feel weak"
Hearing his wife's voice from the other end of the line he quickly got to his feet asking Melody to get dressed. In a hurry he buckled his lose pants and stormed out.
“ The crowd is nauseating, could you walk me for some air?" She demanded in a calm voice as her husband makes his way up the stairs.
“Didn't you find what you went looking for?" Rosella wondered seeing him come back empty handed looking tensed and tacky.
“It was quite dark so I could barely see, the room needs to lightened more baby “ Caleb soon found words to counter her suspicion.
Leading the way Caleb tried to lead her away from the cellar but still curious his wife continued "I'm sure I heard a sound just now, why did a servant not accompany you?
Or is someone down there?
Is something wrong?”
“Let's hastily go to the party before you are being searched for, you know how over protective your father can get" Caleb said bringing a hault to the list of questions leading her to the party room then to the garden outside where they sat and bloomed in laughter the remaining evening.
….
Mr Vincent on the other hand had noticed how gracious Melody was in her dress that evening feeling drawn to her he soon asked her whereabouts. Being told Caleb requested her presence at the basement he dismissed his guards following him.
Moments after he sees his daughter and husband stepping outside he way to the garden, he makes his way to the cellar in other to get a private moment with the house keeper.
~ on the stairs to the basement ~
They both bump into each other, Melody tries to apologize but is stopping by Mr Vincent with a finger brushed against her lips indicating to keep calm.
Bewildered by the sight of her, his gaze closed up.
Armed with a curious of how a prey would taste to a predator, Mr Vincent handed her a phone demanding she picks up whenever she gets a ring from it.
Soon he walked back to the party, Melody remained lost in thought unable to make meaning of what Mr Vincent might have going through his mind.
The evening wrapped up with tension. A calm atmosphere was felt between husband and wife.
Rosella couldn't settle her mind from the encounter at the wine cellar. Soon she settled and tagged it pregnancy hormone and dismissed the idea to avoid spoiling the moment and closure she achieved with her husband that evening.
….
~At Dawn~
A ring came from the phone given to Melody by her boss.
The call woke her, she soon reached for the phone after much struggle to awaken her muscles. “ Yes’" she uttered reluctantly as she placed the phone close to her ear in a drowsy state.
“Melody" a masculine waggy unfamiliar voice echoed from the other end… still oblivious of who was speaking and which phone she had in her hands, she quickly put the call off to return back to her beauty sleep
The ring persistently came again and now she had no choice but to command her body and opened her eyes to look at the number, immediately a surge of life burned into her memory, it was Mr Vincent calling without hesitation she picked “Good morning sir, please forgive my….” Her words were cut short with an order from the other party " Get dressed and come downstairs I have someone waiting for you “ the connection breaks with a beep.
She sprang off her feet headed to the shower and immediately got ready as instructed heading downstairs where she saw Mr Vincent’s car ready to pick her.
She got into the car and they drove out of the compound at that hour. Approaching another vehicle infront their car stopped and the phone rang again.
The voice from the other end faintly said “ Get down and come into the vehicle in front" still breaking the connection immediately.
Melody with a pounding heart, did as she was instructed.
She grew anxious as she approached the vehicle in front, before reaching for the door knob she gave out a heavy sigh.
On getting into the car, Mr Vincent was seated at the other end buried in and article he was previously reading. Soon the car drove off to an unknown destination.
They finally came to a stop at the Vincent Vaca home.
Melody had only been their once as it was where the Vincent’s daughter had her wedding ceremony.
The car door opened and they both stepped out, Melody gazed at the beautiful sight of compound, following behind Mr Vincent who was yet to utter a word to her.
Get us a glass of juice he said as he sat down at a for two table already pressed before hand. The table was stationed with glass wears, cutlery and little flower pot at the center.
“What is your relationship with my son in-law?”
He cut to the chase without camouflaging words looking her straight in the eye.
“I got this position thanks to Mr Caleb, sir” she replied.
Drawing her chair closer to him as she sat behind her reached for her thighs exposed by the slit on her dress.
“You are mine now lady, you do as I say now and always call me when you need something alright?” He pronounced his intentions in a dominating tone.
Finally he rose and requested she meet him in the room upstairs, she hurriedly followed as though bewitched.
….
~Towards sunset~
“I am expecting a visitor, put on this dress and be the one to serve my guest ,I had the servant prepare something already “ Mr Vincent said handing her a short sleeveless dress transparent enough to reveal her stimulated n*****s, leaving the room to allow her rest before changing.
Melody stormed in with the rather seductive dress she put on carrying the food tray in her hands. She placed the food on the dinning table inside the building and went ahead to inform the gentlemen nothat she had placed the dish in place.
Getting to where they seated, was Caleb who was struck with surprise and soon choking on his wine. Clearly she saw through Mr Vincent's intentions.
Soon Caleb's surprise grew into fury. He maintained a calm look on the surface.
Mr Vincent let out a visible smirk on one side of his lips as he sips more into his wine. “ Don't look so stunned, all my servant belongs to me that is how you know a real master, that's why we are different son in-law"
His mocking words pierced Caleb's ego, he could read the hidden message in the sentence. Soon they both went to the dinning table, each throwing a quick gaze at each other. If eyes could kill one of the two would have been gunned dead from the laser look.
Soon Melody got dressed to go back and met the two men at the sit out. She called out to Mr Vincent requesting to take her leave.
He nodded and with the flip of a hand, a brief case containing cash was handed to her by the guards. “My boys will drop you off, expect my call” Mr Vincent said while returning to the write up he was reading earlier.
Caleb cut in while trying to stand up, “I could drop her off if we are quite done with our conversation, sir.”
“Who are you to tell me what I want to happen Mr?" Mr Vincent offended by his audacity questioned.
A hunk came from the background, a black Mercedes drove into the compound. The door was opened and Rosella stepped out of the car charging straight to her father.
She reached for a glass filled with wine on the table and flipped it over on her father's Head.
