They had been together for more than nine years. One night she came home and knocked on an empty whiskey bottle at the front door, calling out loud for the maidservant. Upstairs she found nothing, no one, except for her baby crying in the sitting area all alone. The Tv and some other household items were missing, Immediately, she called the police. Things happened so fast that night, she ended up in her sister’s house.
When they first met was around Christmas. One of the friendliest families in the neighborhood, they occasionally invited friends of friends to Christmas family celebrations. Her late grandfather constructed a huge house for them. On an acre of land, a house with nine bedrooms, a sitting room, six stores, three guest houses, and the SQ. Snowmen stood watch all throughout Christmas in a leveled area near the pool, which had been nicely adorned.
On that day, Mellanie was standing next to the colorful x-mas tree, sipping her drink when Joshua appeared. A tall, skinny with a hoarse voice guy, approached her. The two got along together on their first time, and they felt a ‘Zing’ if that word exists, they got along on the first day they met. They had a great time henceforth and their journey began. Everything seemed to go well, lunch and dinner dates, the movies, the fun… they did a lot together. Everyone in their family admired the two, from how they communicated to how they did things together.
