Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 

On the third floor, Ken and his subordinate, James, were going down the stairs when they were startled by cries for help coming from the last room on the second floor. 

Ken’s brow furrowed. “Go and find out what’s going on.” 

“Yes, Mr. Swanson” James immediately nodded promptly. Their network of Informants within the Swanson family quickly returned with 

information. 

“Mr. Swanson, it looks like the only son of the Lawrence family is up to no good with a woman named Melody. Seems like she might have rubbed someone the wrong way.” reported James. 

“Melody?” Ken’s eyebrows arched in surprise. He had not heard of that name before. 

“Yes,” James responded before inquiring. “Shall I go rescue her?” 

Ken cast a disinterested glance at James. “Do you not have anything else to do?” 

James quickly dropped the idea of helping and shook his head. “You’re right, Mr. Swanson. I’m just being nosy. You’ve only just got back to Silverlake. No need to get involved in unnecessary stuff. Please watch your step.” 

Ken indifferently looked away and went downstairs 

At the same time, in the guest room, Melody’s clothes lay in tatters around her, her flawless skin tempting Barclay. 

“I have to say, despite your ugly face, you do have top–notch figure and skin,” said Barclay before seizing Melody by the neck and leaning in for a kiss. 

However, just as his lips were close to her, Melody landed a powerful punch on his face. In an instant, he was knocked senseless. In shock, he looked at her hand that had broken free. The wrist was rubbed raw and oozing with blood, 

“How did you…” Barclay was utterly stunned, wondering how she managed to find the strength to free herself. The rope used to the her up was supposed to be incredibly strong. 

Before he could figure out what was happening, Melody swung another punch, sending him hurtling under the bed. 

“Ah.. Barclay moaned, clutching his head in agony. 

Melody seized the opportunity to hurriedly untie the rope with her free hand. After regaining her freedom, Melody grabbed the lamp from the bedside cabinet, poised to strike Barclay. 

But just then, a wave of dizziness washed over her. The effects of the drug suddenly taking hold of her. Melady’s strength vanished in an instant, and the lamp slipped from her hand, crashing to the ground with a loud thud. 

Barclay quickly took the opportunity to rise to his feet, seizing Melody by her hair. 

“You bitch! How dare you blindside mel You just don’t know when to give up, do you? I will definitely kill you today!” he yelled as he dragged Melody and tossed her back onto the bed. 

Despite her desperate struggles, Melody’s vision blurred. She could not even see Barclay clearly. ‘Damn it! I would rather die than be violated by Barclay‘ she thought, despair flickering in the depths of her eyes.
