Melody’s exit left Edward brooding by the window, a dark cloud hanging over him. He stared down, his fingers tracing his thin lips. His brow furrowed, a chill in his eyes, and a hint of sickness lurked beneath his gaze. 

“Brandon, he called out, his voice cold. 

A tall figure emerged from the shadows, resembling Bernard but with sharper features and a broader build. They both shared an imposing presence. 

“Mr. Moore, Brandon started, “I looked into Melody. No connections to your uncles‘ operations. It seems she was just messing around earlier, but we can’t be entirely sure she’s 

innocent.” 

Bernard chimed in, “Still, the chance is slim. You practically let her off the hook.” 

Edward, ever logical, understood that inaction wouldn’t do. Melody’s sudden disappearance had clearly rattled him. “Tell me everything about her, he demanded, his brow furrowed, his demeanor icy and his expression unreadable. 

The man who freaked out over Melody earlier, the one with the flushed cheeks of shame. vanished without a trace. In his place sat Edward, composed and cold. 

Brandon produced a file and placed it on his desk.

Edward’s icy gaze swept across it, landing on three words that sent a jolt through him: “Kenrick Payne, Melody’s ex–boyfriend.” 

Of course, it was him, Edward, who’d shattered their perfect little world. 

Edward’s eyes narrowed as the thought of Kenrick, Melody’s ex, messing with her head played in his mind. Could that be who flustered her à moment ago?‘ 

Just then, a gentle knock interrupted their thoughts. Before Edward could respond, Melody creaked open the door, her eyes sincere and searching. “Hey there. You still sulking?” 

“I’ve come to make things right, Melody’s voice dripped with playful flirtation, sending shivers down Brandon’s spine as he watched from the corner. 

Melody’s conscience had finally kicked in after returning to her room. She’d gotten Edward to kiss her, only to mess it up with her clumsiness. No way was she letting a fight fester overnight!

Edward’s tone was cold as he rebuffed her intrusion. “Didn’t I say not to enter without permission?” 

Melody’s gaze dropped in defeat. “But… I’ve prepared a medicinal bath for you,” she pleaded, her eyes pleading. “Skipping it tonight will diminish the electrotherapy’s effectiveness.” 

She leaned in, batting her eyelashes. “Come on, don’t be stubborn. Technically, you can’t refuse a bath until you walk again, right?” 

Melody had prepped the bath earlier, and this visit was just an excuse to lure him back to the bedroom for a soak. But before the bath magic, she wanted to get his heart racing and blood flowing for maximum effect. 

Same idea with the hot milk; it was a circulation booster! 

Edward scowled, his jaw clenched so tight it could crack ice. Well played, woman! You got me again! This manipulative little fox is getting way too good at this!‘ he thought with a sneer. 

“Yes. Mr. Moore. Attending to your legs is paramount,” Brandon chimed in, having checked the medicine Melody gave Edward and confirming it was legit. He couldn’t deny that Melody knew her stuff regarding healing. 

Melody’s entrance into Edward’s study was a surprise, not just for him but for the man present Brandon. 

While Melody’s apprenticeship under her grandfather, Arnold Shield, explained her exceptional physiotherapy skills, Brandon suspected another expert had refined her technique. 

However, he had just decided to hold off informing Edward until he could verify the truth. himself. 

Suddenly, Melody’s gaze darted around the room. “Oh, there’s someone else here!” she exclaimed, spotting Brandon, 

Are you Bernard’s brother?” she blurted before anyone could answer. “You look quite alike! Though, are you more interested in men or women?” 

“Hey, Edward’s mine. Don’t even think about it,” Melody teased, arching an eyebrow playfully. 

Melody had vivid memories of her past life. The only time she’d ever laid eyes on Brandon was after her own death. As a spirit tethered to Edward, she witnessed a scene that sent shivers down her spine. 

One night, Brandon stood at the master bedroom door, blood staining his clothes. His voice was cold and raspy as he spoke, “Mr. Moore, the Shield family is no more.”
