In the dim light, she saw a tall man, sitting on a stool at the bar counter. Melissa was so scared that her
hands and feet were trembling. The first thought came to her mind was robbery? But she just
screamed. her voice must wake up the robber. She pointed at him and asked in horror, "Who are you?"
Her voice was trembling. She was so flustered. She lived alone on the top floor. If something happened
to her, she would have no one to call to. It was late at night. Everyone was asleep. Who would care
about her?
The man sneered, put down the glass and walked over.
Startled, Melissa stepped back in panic. "Stay away from me," she yelled. You can take anything you
want, but don't hurt me. I won't scream. Don't come over! " She groped the wall as she stepped back
and finally pressed the switch.
With a loud bang, the whole room was lit up. All the darkness was cleared up, and the figure and face
of that person were also brightened.
Melissa was stunned. Holding the action of flicking the switch, she said in horror, "Colin!"
Colin looked defiant, his eyes full of viciousness and his face red. Melissa could even smell the booze
from him as he walked in, perhaps because he was drunk. As a result, Colin burst into laughter… "I
was wondering how long it would take for you to see me."
For a while, Melissa finally regained her composure. She was glad that the man was not a thief. But
then she was angered as she knew that it was Colin who had intruded into her house. She snapped,
"You intruded into my house in the middle of the night, what were you doing?"
"Your home? Isn't it the house I gave you? " Colin glanced around, then spread out his hands and said,
"I treated you well over the years. At least, you have been treated well, much better than other women.
But why haven't you been satisfied? You just dump me so easily."
Melissa sneered. Suddenly, she wasn't afraid of him anymore. She became angrier. Melissa glared at
him and said, "Just because it used to be your home that you broke into the house in the midnight?
Don't forget, I have already taken over the house, and I can sue you for breaking into other people's
houses at night. Moreover, I deserve what you have given to me. We have made a deal. You got what
you wanted and I got what I wanted. Now everything is clear. I had told you earlier, don't mention
money. It only· could make me think you are vulgar or ruthless. Do you really think I care about your
money? "
"Didn't you stay with me because you cared about money?" Stated Colin in a mocking tone. He walked
to Melissa while shaking a glass of spirits wine in his hand.
Looking at the way he walked unsteadily, Melissa knew that Colin was drunk. She pointed at the door
and shouted, "Get out! You shouldn't come here. Give back the key to ·me. You get out! "
She hated this man so much. She hated everything about him. Why did she find that he was so terrible
than Eric now? Why did she fall in love with him? Why did she fall in love with him? Did she ask for it?
Seeing her like this, Colin smiled, but this time was different from the sneer. It was rare for Melissa to
see the distressed expression in his eyes, just like every year on Avril's birthday or anniversary, when
he drank alone and talked to himself, which showed his sadness and loneliness. Every time Melissa
saw Colin look like this before, she felt heartbroken. But this time, when she saw him look like this, she
only felt ridiculous. Did he feel heartache? How could he feel heartache?
With a smile, Colin said, "What? You had an intimate relationship with Eric downstairs just now. Do you
hate me now? Do you think that Eric is perfect and handsome, and I am an asshole, a psychopath! So
you dislike me. "
Melissa didn't want to talk to him. She pointed to the door and said, "Get out. I don't want to talk to you
anymore. Or I'll call the police." What Colin had done provoked Melissa. She felt that she was going to
be mad. He had always done so many self-righteous things. Did he really think she would be as silly as
before? And what he said just now was really annoying.
Colin didn't step forward, but walked to Melissa step by step and asked, "How do you feel about Eric?
It's so fast for you to be with Eric. You even made out with him downstairs. And you let him stay at your
home last night.· What did you do? Did you do everything? Melissa, how come I don't know you are
such a loose woman? Don't you think you are dirty?'? With two men." Colin sneered.
"You are as shameless and dirty as I am. You have no right to accuse me that you have an affair with
many women, and I have nothing to do with you now. Besides, I am having a serious relationship with
Eric. Even there is anything we do outside, we are decent. Don't speak ill of us!"
"Well, it looks like you have admitted that you did something with Eric, right?" Hearing that, Colin's eyes
were even more painful, full of viciousness, but he still sneered at Melissa.
Melissa shouted, "Get out! Colin! Get out! " She couldn't stand him anymore. Didn't he think what he
said was hurtful? It stimulated her heart.
Colin didn't move, still with a mocking smile. In a rage, Melissa wanted to twist the door, trying to kick
him out.
However, all of a sudden, Colin threw his glass out and rushed towards Melissa and pushed her
against the wall. Melissa screamed, "Ahhh! What are you doing! "
