Melanie had been waiting for three hours, yet there was still no sign of Aaron.

However, the message she had sent to Aaron via WhatsApp had gone unanswered up to the present moment. Her heart pounded like a drum, unsure of what was happening.
The most crucial step was to ensure Aaron crossed over. If not, she couldnât find peace within her heart.
Picking up her phone, she sent another message to Aaron via WhatsApp.
Melanie: Aaron, I understand your reservations. Donât worry, weâre just going to talk. Iâm terrified of our parents, Benjamin, and Spencer discovering my intentions. Intentions that Iâm too ashamed to admit.
Aaron had been sitting in his car, parked right in front of the hotel. He had been there for two hours already.
He had been wavering and lingering in the car all this while.
He needed to clarify whether his feelings for Melanie were of sibling affection or romantic love. However, after a long period of contemplation, he still couldnât find an answer.
The turmoil in his heart was intense.
Every time he thought of Melanie crying in front of him, confessing that her feelings were too shameful to be seen, his heart would ache for her.
After seeing the message on WhatsApp, a surge of impulse welled up within him. He couldnât let Melanie face it all alone.

âAaron, dâdo you see me as a sister that youâre fond of, or as a woman youâre attracted to?â Melanie asked.
Aaronâs expression subtly shifted.
âAfter the day you kissed me, you apologized. You said you liked me, so why did you start ignoring me later? Itâs really unsettling when youâre hot and cold like this,â Melanie complained, feeling wronged.
He had kissed her that day, right from the start. Yet, he later had a change of heart. He claimed he wasnât thinking clearly when he had kissed her.
With a soft sigh, Aaron reflected on that night at home when he had kissed her.
Back then, all he wanted was to alleviate her sadness, so he couldnât help but kiss her.
If it were merely a matter of affection, all he would have needed was to hold her, much like when they were younger. Back then, she was often afraid of pain and frequently visited the hospital. He would always comfort her, cradling her in his arms.
Therefore, he...
Seeing Aaronâs hesitation, Melanie knew she couldnât wait any longer! She promptly lifted her head to kiss Aaron, placing his hand on her chest while she removed her skirt.
âAaron, take me.â
âIf you take me, youâll understand just how much I love you, and how much you love me. Please, Iâm begging you, take me.â
Aaronâs hand stiffened, his breathing suddenly became heavy. âMel, do you understand what youâre doing?â he asked.
âI know what Iâm doing, Aaron, I know. I want you,â Melanie said, adept at stirring a manâs primal desire.
