Melanie pushed the sheets off her legs and forced her feet over the side of the bed.
Then sat there. She didnât want to get up. She didnât want to cook breakfast. She didnât want to do anything.
Sheâd called Jake last night, out of desperation, needing to know that Jackson wasnât hurt or killed. Jackson hadnât arrived at her place for dinner as planned so, when he still wasnât there hours later and he hadnât answered his phone, sheâd finally convinced the security guard to contact Jake Hughes to make sure that Jackson was okay.
Jake had texted an hour later, letting her know that Jackson was fine, just getting drunk. Although, Jake didnât know why.
And Melanie hadnât heard anything from either of them since. She hadnât slept at all, wondering why Jackson was getting drunk and she couldnât believe he would simply ignore her phone calls and texts all night. That was so unlike him. They texted several times a day when he didnât have back to back meetings. Sometimes the messages were fun and flirty. Other times, he told her exactly what he was going to do to her as soon as he saw her, causing her to tremble with need and anticipation until he walked through her door.
Roy turned when she walked into the kitchen, sympathy in his eyes as he handed her a cup of coffee. âNo word?â he asked, pulling her into his arms.
âIâm sure heâs okay,â she told her brother, leaning her head against his shoulder.
âWhy donât you go talk to him face to face, find out what happened last night?â
Melanie bit her lower lip, not sure what to do. Jacksonâs silence last night seemed to tell her exactly what was going on. âI donât know,â she replied, thinking that she should have anticipated this. Jackson was a player. Heâd warned her from the beginning that he wasnât a long-term kind of guy. She should have been prepared for this.
But something told her that there was more to this story than just Jackson being finished with their relationship. Something was wrong.
Roy sighed and patted her back as only a brother could. It was an awkward gesture, but filled with love and concern. âTalk to him, Mel. From what youâve told me about this guy, last night was completely out of character.â
Melanie wiped the tears from her eyes. âFine. But you have to come with me. I canât face him alone.â
âScary man?â he teased, tweaking her nose slightly.
âHe can be very scary at times.â
An hour later, wearing in her favorite dress, which made her feel powerful, she stepped into the executive area of JJH Technologies.
âGood morning, Ms. Larsden,â Doris greeted Melanie as soon as she walked in.
âIs Jackson availââ
âNo. Iâm busy,â Jackson interrupted, coming up from behind her and simply walking into his office and slamming the door.
Melanie stared at the empty doorway, her heart feeling as if it might explode from the pain lodged there.
Melanie turned, looking into the shocked eyes of Jacksonâs assistant. Melanie didnât know what to say, how to react.
