Melody had never used the card Lucas gave her, and her first purchase was for a sum of a million dollars. 'What on earth did she buy?' he wondered.
A million was a mere blip in Lucas' coffers, but that same amount was an utterly out-of-character purchase for Melody. He knew her well enough to know she would never touch his money unless it was an emergency.
Sensing that something was amiss, he dialed Melody's number. The silence on the other end was not normal.
He frowned and contacted the film crew to ask if Melody was at the set.
The crew member answered, "The shooting ended early, so she left. I think she mentioned wanted to visit a bookstore."
Lucas hung up and wondered why Melody would switch off her phone on a trip to the bookstore.
He called home and was told that Melody was not there. The situation was getting more and more difficult.
He got up, flung open his office door, and barked out an order to Edmund, "Locate Melody's phone! I need to know where she is!"
"Yes, sir!" Edmund answered when he sensed the urgency in Lucas' voice. Though he did not know what happened, he felt that it was not the time to ask questions and swiftly directed the technicians to start searching.
In the dusty confines of an abandoned building, BD and his gang had just enough knowledge to disable Melody's phone despite being school dropouts. However, it never occurred to them that the phone could still be tracked even when it was switched off.
"This was easy money, boss! We're rich!" The blonde squatted on the floor and marveled at the bank balance on his phone. "A million bucks is so much better than that stingy Wendy gave us. What does she take us for? Beggars?"
The blonde was satisfied as one million was already a fortune to him. However, BD and the guy with the buzzcut saw things from a different perspective. They felt that they could squeeze a little more out of her if she could fork out a million without hesitation.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
