"Why can't you forgive me just once since I'm also a victim?" said Melody.
"Huh! You're no victim. It was clearly you who seduced Lucas until he couldn't see straight. It's all because of your looks that he fell for you. Well, now that your face is ruined, it's only natural for him to leave you! Do you really think that highly of yourself? I've said it before that you don't deserve real love. Moreover, these are your mistakes. What does it have to do with me? Why should I forgive you? You need to know just how horrible life is. It's all retribution coming for you."
Melody's voice trembled as she spoke, "Can't you just let me go? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to hold your head up high in the future?"
Wendy burst into laughter. "What a joke! Do you think I care about those things anymore? I've put so much effort into bringing you here today, and I've long prepared to perish with you. Let me tell you something, if I'm going down, then you're going down with me! Why? Because I hate you. I wish nothing more than to rip you apart! You're the reason my life is ruined!
"Lucas wouldn't have asked his lawyers to go after me if you hadn't asked him to! The whole Internet knows I'm a scammer now. I've become a pariah, while you've become a rising star. I'd never let you live a happy life or become a big movie star!"
Melody quickly explained, "I never told him to do such things. Moreover, aren't your actions today just confirming what those people online have been saying? Wendy, please let me go for the sake of our bonds. Only then can you possibly reconcile with the past. Why does it have to escalate to this?"
"What is this bond you're talking about? Don't make me laugh. Accept your fate, Melody. Today marks the beginning of your downfall."
Wendy beckoned with her finger, and Dougie immediately approached eagerly like a faithful dog. "What are your orders, Miss Wendy?"

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...
