Melanie refused to answer Nathaniel’s incessant calls after she hung up. After a while, she grew annoyed with the constant ringing and turned off her phone. She had even more trouble falling asleep after such a stir, so she walked toward the small square window. It felt completely different from the floor-to-ceiling ones in the presidential suite overlooking the city's night view.
The window represented a frame that contained her whole life as Melanie could already foresee her future. She felt she was destined to live this life and could no longer count on Nathaniel since he could not give her what he wanted.
As expected, one could only rely on themselves. It did not matter that Melanie had dedicated herself to following Nathaniel over the past few years. Melanie knew how dedicated Lily was to Nathaniel when Lily was with him. Melanie would likely fall into the same destiny as Lily and become old and ugly if she devoted herself to Nathaniel.
Melanie thought, 'Nate might have another person to replace me.’ Melanie felt terrified when she thought of these things. She shivered in the cold, even though the window remained shut.
Melanie hugged herself and looked up at the ceiling. She bit on her lower lip and decided in her heart. After
taking a bath, she wore her sexy pajamas and put on makeup before covering herself with a coat.
"Fortunately, I maintained my figure well enough. I still look as beautiful as ever," Melanie muttered while looking in the mirror.
