Chapter 209 - 209

Lady Melissa wasn't planning on letting her family be forced into being one of the royal family's many disposable dogs that would be used and tossed away immediately after.

Plus, Lady Melissa herself knew how much help her family was to the royal palace, if he had denied her offer, Lady Melissa could take it as a sign of rejection from the royal palace and ask her father to cut ties with them.

'This is going to be fun.'

Lady Melissa thought as a dangerous smirk played in her eyes, her heart racing up at the thoughts of the events that were going to be playing in front of her in the next few days.

For a split second, Lady Melissa's head had somehow managed to find its way thinking of Duke Mason as well, the gazes that he had sent her earlier- the pet names he had used on her, and even the favor he had asked for her.

It was on the back of her mind, whether she liked it or not, and it was going to stay there for a very long time.

Lady Melissa's cheeks would heat up every time Duke Mason would use a pet name to her, though most of the times she had successfully hidden it from Duke Mason.

Lady Melissa wondered about her meeting with Duke Alphonso, this was long overdue, and she had no doubt she was going to get the four of them to meet up once she's finally discussed things with him.

It was going to be interesting, and Lady Melissa wasn't just talking about this in particular.

Lady Melissa had already rented out the entire La Vien En Rose in advance for tomorrow, the whole day, just in case anyone were to spot them or so, it wouldn't be the best.

And even if Lady Melissa had already rented out the entire store, it was still frustrating that she had to use different doors to leave the place then, or else people would be making weird and strange assumptions about each other making up something as if they were lovers.

And just like that- was how a scandal happened; even if it wasn't necessarily true.

Who cared whether something was actually true or not?

People were selfish, greedy and only cared for themselves, even when given evidence that proved otherwise, they'd still most likely believe in the most interesting rumours of them all.

Lady Melissa had ended up sleeping; only this time she dreamt about Camilia murdering her again, classic.

Lady Melissa was used to the nightmares now, though it'd be a complete lie if she said she wasn't shaken up by them anymore.

No matter how many times Camilia would kill Lady Melissa, the fear was always there every single time she did so, a feeling that Lady Melissa had gotten used to these past few weeks, always having nightmares about Camilia.

Least to say, it was an absolutely great way for Lady Melissa to start her day; being woken up at 3 A.M. by Camilia.

Lady Melissa didn't spend much time in bed after that though, she knew how hard it was to even get to sleep after waking up in cold sweat from a nightmare.

Lady Melissa didn't care that much though, she was used to this routine by now.

She would be woken up by Camilia, at such an early hour, and then she would do her daily routine of working out, before she would do some paperwork, and eat her morning breakfast, like usual.

That was what Lady Melissa had chosen to do again this day, as it was like every other normal day where Lady Melissa would dream about getting murdered by Camilia in her nightmares.

Ah what a fine day to continue living, not that Lady Melissa would even want to do so with the amount of constant pressure she was put through, though she kept reminding herself that it was for a cause.

A cause that would better be worth it for everything she had to go through just to kill him, then again, no one said that killing a royal family member would be easy, no less if it was the Crown Prince.

Lady Melissa wondered when the last time a royal family member had even been killed by someone was, as her eyes flickered, perhaps it had been fifteen to twenty years since someone did it?

Lady Melissa wasn't sure, her mind was too filled with paperwork at the moment that she had temporarily forgotten all the history lessons she took, and all the things about history she had learnt by herself through some books.

It didn't matter though, Lady Melissa was just going to find out about it later, she was curious, and there was no stopping her when she was curious.

Lady Melissa started doing her morning routine as she did a number of squats, push ups, sit ups and even ran multiple times around the Shayla estate, her toned figure shining in the sun.

Lady Melissa had managed to finish her morning routine before 6 A.M. as she wondered what she was going to do with the remaining time.

Lady Melissa's eyes widened, she was meeting Duke Alphonso today, it had completely slipped out of her mind with everything that had been going on today, though it wasn't as if there was much that had been going on.

Lady Melissa wanted to slap herself in the face; how could she have forgotten?

That meant that she'd have to ask Victoria for help-, Lady Melissa felt bad actually, to ask Victoria for help considering the fact that she hadn't actually talked to the girl in the past couple of weeks.

In fact, Lady Melissa hadn't even been wearing the necklace that carried Victoria's dead body or spirit around it, she hadn't realized it the first few days of not wearing it, and when she did she simply brushed it off, after all, it was a simple necklace, completely forgetting about the fact that Victoria was in there as well, and that it wasn't just some regular old necklace.
