The day Melody Imally took her own lite be ompling into the sea, Joslaia had been whispering sweet nothings Into Angel’s ears, promising her that even married to Melody, he would still continue loving Angel and her baby.
Every time Meloch’s depression episodes acted up, Joshua had been with another woman.
Also, he had never once realized anything amiss about Melody. Even if he did, he’d been too distracted by someone else to actually pay Melody any attention.
Joshua gripped the psychiatric report with shaky fingers. His tears dropped steadily onto the mable floor. Finally, he covered his face with both his hands and started to cry in deep agony.
The welding of the century turned into the funeral of the century.
Everything festive was immediately taken down and replaced with black cloth and drapes.
joshua stood next to Melody’s casket with dimmed eyes, thanking each guest for attending.
“Deepest condolences, Mr. Gretchen.”
“May she rest in peace.”
“So sorry for your loss, Mr. Gretchen.”
Every guest couldn’t help sighing when they saw Joshua like this. They felt that it was a great pity.
Melody and Joshua were such a lovely couple. It was indeed a huge pity that they would now be separated forever

Melody’s name on the tombstone telt jarring to his eyes. He shaklly reached out his hand and gently caressed her name carved into the stone. Then, he approached it, closing the distance until he could hug it tightly, his forehead coming to rest on her name.
“Mel, I’m so sorry
Ever since that day, Joshua locked himself up in his room and drank himself close to unconsciousness all day. It was as if he was trying to get as drunk as possible so that he would be able to see Melody again.
He didn’t know if Melody was thoroughly disappointed in him, but he could never once dream of her, ever.
He flung the empty bottle of wine to the ground, letting it roll into the comer
Moments later, a fair–skinned hand picked it up for him.
“Joshua? Why have you been drinking so much?”
Joshua looked up at the newcomer and managed to see a blurry white figure standing before him.

The figure looked and sounded a lot like his beloved Melody. “Mel?”
