**** MELINA P. O. V ****

We sat down at the table. Their mother seemed happy, but I was very uneasy. When I looked at the maids, they all seemed okay with it.

“Is Agnes also aware of this?” I asked myself looking at her. But she was acting like she didn’t know anything about it.

Maybe it’s about Sara and the woman who stepped in. When they started giving out the food, I couldn’t stop sweating a lot.

I told them to pour it down the drain. They must be crazy.

“Wait!” When I said “stand up,” everyone stopped for a moment.

“Why are you sad, Melina?” When Ryan asked, everyone looked at me.

“ER… I think the food is already cold, though. I don’t think we should give mom a meal that is already cold. Do you not agree, maids?” I asked because I was trying to warn them.

“Melina, it’s not cold. Still, it’s warm. I’m aware of it.” She said that she was getting the fork.

“Ma’am don’t.” I said swallowing hard.

“What are you doing, Gracie? Are you okay?” Jason asked, and I nodded, but my bones were very tense.

“Like I said, I am starving.” She said this as she brought the food to her mouth. Ryan and Jason were looking at me because they could tell I wasn’t myself.

When I looked at her, I could see that the food was about to go into her mouth.

“Stop! It’s bad for you!” I yelled and ripped the spoon and plate off the table.

“What??” Everyone joined in.

“They put poison in it.” I said that I was watching the maids. I was sorry to be blunt, but they should have planned something else instead of killing their mom.

“At last, you spoke up.” Jason and Ryan stood up in unison. They weren’t surprised at all.

“Were you aware of this?” When I asked, they said yes.

“I’m scared, because I saw her poison the food, and when you asked them to throw it away, they refused.” When Ryan said that, my eyes got bigger.

I looked at Sara and the person who had done this to her and saw how scared they were.

“Why didn’t you stick around to make sure they got rid of it?” Jason asked, making a very angry face at them.

“I wasn’t in a good mood, and she said she would get rid of it. I believed her because I knew she wouldn’t want to die.” I said, pointing to the first person who broke in.

“So Sara and Clara tried to kill my mom, right?” As Jason walked around the living room, he asked.

“They feel bad. They were not smart “I said.

“Don’t you dare!!! Don’t even try to talk to me like you can make me do what you want.” He yelled in anger, and I swallowed hard because I knew this wasn’t going to end well.

“I had no idea you all wanted to hurt me. I cared about everyone and never hurt anyone.” His mother wept and said.

“She is crying now!” He yelled while pulling a gun out of a drawer.

“Ryan, please take action.” I cried out in fear.

“I can’t do anything Melina. They went too far, and now they have to pay. If they had paid attention and waited for the right time to be set free, they would have been.” He said that, and I nodded while crying.

“Sara and Clara, and everyone else who knew about this, please move here.” Jason said, and they all started to cry.

“No one else is there.” At the same time, they sang in a chorus.

“Why am I so sure you’re trying to save the others when you were going to die anyway?” He said this as he held the gun up.

When I looked at his mom, she was still crying. I think she was still trying to figure out what was going on.

“Get it done. No one else is here but us.” Sara said it with courage, and tears came to my eyes.

“Please do something, ma’am. Stop him from killing them. Please, they were angry at what your son had done to them and wanted to get back to him.”

“Please give it some thought. They are also people, so it’s not their fault.” I begged her, and she turned to look at Jason.

She called out, “Jason.”

“Mother, you can’t save them.” He said that when he pulled the gun’s trigger, the bullet hit Sara.

I screamed, and the other maids did, too. She was killed in cold blood, and I couldn’t stop crying.

When I looked at him, I saw that he had the gun pointed at Clara. His eyes were full of anger, and I knew there was no way to stop him.

“Can you stop?” I cried, but didn’t care. I saw him put his finger on the trigger, and I ran to Clara’s front before I could think. As he fired, the bullet hit me right in the stomach.

I hit the ground with my stomach in my hands.

“Oh no. Melina.” I heard him call my name as he ran to me. I looked into his eyes as he held me in his arms.

“Give me the keys to my car!” He shouted.

“Don’t leave me, Melina.” His voice was shaking. I wanted to say something, but it seemed like I couldn’t get any words out.

My eyes got tired and I couldn’t open them anymore. My eyes closed, and that was the end of it. Everywhere went dark.

“Melina.” I called out because I was scared, and I didn’t know when my eyes started to tear up.

“The car is all set up. Let’s get her out.” Ryan said, “I picked her up like a bride and rushed out of the house to the car with her.”

I put her in the back and tried to get to the driver’s seat quickly, but Ryan stopped me.

“You feel terrible. I’ll drive if you can’t.” I said that grabbing the car stopped me. I knew there wasn’t enough time to argue, so I switched seats.

The maids, my mother, and my men were all standing outside of the mansion.

“No one should leave the house unless Agnes gets in and you tie up Clara. Make sure mom is safe. If something bad happens and you think about running away, I’ll find you and kill you.” I told one of my men, and then I jumped in the car.

“Go.” I said, “Start the engine,” and he did. The car went very fast. He had a 200.

“It wasn’t my intent to hit her. I was angry, and I had no idea that she would walk in front of me.” I stammered.

Ryan said, “I know, brother.”

“You know I can’t hurt her, right?” I asked while crying.

“Brother, I know. She’d be fine. Jason, it didn’t hit an important spot, all right. She wouldn’t have to worry.” He rapped while looking straight ahead at the road.

“Everything is my fault. This will make her hate me even more!” I said holding my head. I could no longer think straight.

“Jason, take it easy. I know how bad the guilt is, so please try to calm down. I’ve never seen you like this before. You scare me and take my mind off of other things at the same time.” Ryan said and I nodded looking back.

Agnes was sitting with her head on her leg and looking at me.

“Push down on the wound.” I said giving her my suit. She folded it and put it on her stomach to put pressure on it.

When Ryan turned, we were right in front of the hospital.

“Nurse!!! Emergency!” Before I got down, I yelled. When I opened the back door, I picked her up again. I ran to the hospital door, where a stretcher was waiting for me.

They took her away from me, put her on the bed, and pushed her into the ward. They wouldn’t let me in even though I wanted to.

“Mr. Jason, you will have to wait here.” I looked mad at the nurse when she said that.

“I made this happen, so I should be in there.” I roared and I felt someone hold me back.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“He won’t go anywhere.” Ryan said, “Close the door,” and they did. I moved my hair behind my head and felt every regret in my bones.

“Please, Jason, calm down.” He said.

“I’m doing my best, Ryan. If something bad happens to her, I’m afraid I won’t be able to forgive myself. It will keep looking for me until I die.” I said that I was trying to stop crying.

Ryan just stood there and looked at me while I paced up and down the hallway. Agnes sat in the chair and quietly cried.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.” I said, and she turned her head to look at me but didn’t say anything.

I turned around in anger and started hitting the walls.

“Jason, quit! Your humanity is too much for you to handle. I know that, so just chill out.” Ryan said pulling me into a hug. A pretty close call.
