The night was silent and the crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the dark sky. The main street seemed desolate and the street lights which were placed on several posts shone over the place that one could hardly notice that the day was rounding off.

Three black SUVs pulled up in front of the Allen mansion. Mr. Allen alighted the car from the door, held open by a guard.

He looked visibly upset and without saying a word, he walked past the guards, heading for the building and ignoring the greetings from the maids.

He still couldn't believe that he had been insulted because of Madison. What exactly did she want? Why can't she see that we are doing what is right for her?... All these thoughts ran through his head, as he strolled into the building.

He will not allow her to destroy his plans with her silly fantasies. The marriage was something that would happen, and she would have to accept that fact.

He wasn't going to let this opportunity slip from his hand, because of a teenage drama. She was going to get married to the man he had chosen and will have to learn to live with the fact that Chase was going to be her husband, no matter what.

“Where is she?!!” He roared out in anger, as soon as he stepped into the building, ignoring the butler that had greeted him. His tone, startled one of the maids, placing the dishes on the dining for the family's dinner.

She lost her grip on a ceramic and it fell and broke, creating a loud shattering noise, that reverberated in the room. Just like her, her colleagues gasped in horror and fear, as the ceramic shattered upon contact with the tiled floor.

They knew that Mr. Allen was the kind of man that would always find fault in every little thing. He was the kind of person that could fire a servant for the slightest mistake. He considered those people incompetent and would not want such people living under his roof.

They all backed slowly away from her, to leave the maid to her fate. None of them was ready to defend her, so as not to get fired as well. They already have more on their plates and wouldn't want to add more burden.

“Where is Madison?”

However, Mr. Allen did not seem concerned about what the maid had done. Tonight was a different night and his primary focus was on the one person that had brought disgrace upon him.

“She... " The maid began to stutter as she did not expect him to react this way.

When she had seen her colleagues back away, she thought she was done for. She wasn't ready to get fired from the mansion, as it was the only way she could save her poor family from starvation. Her salary was enough to make one's mouth water. She did not want to go back to the streets to beg for food.

“She is not home yet." another maid replied instead, as her hands shook while holding a tray. All the maids had their heads lowered slightly with fear and anxiety in their hearts.

Mr. Allen was dumbstruck. His daughter hasn't returned??... His eyes moved towards the clock on the wall.

“And where might she be?" He inquired, staring back at them. Now he no longer looked angered but worried. It was already late and his daughter was yet to return home.

“Welcome back Sir."

A deep muffled voice caught his attention, and his eyes stared at the young man that had entered the room.

“Where is my daughter?" He asked as he walked towards him.

“Sir..." Jackson began. “Young miss went to the office. She asked me not to accompany her, that she will be...”

“She did what?!!!" Mr. Allen roared out in pure rage, interrupting the young man from speaking. “... And you stayed behind?" He asked as he felt his heart ache slightly.

All the anger he had towards Madison, had vanished into thin air as he heard what the young man had just said to him.

“Sir, you did not instruct me to..." Jackson wanted to say but his boss was having none of it. He was totally confused, as he did not know what he did wrong. He served his boss alone and was only sent to spy or guard Madison if he was asked to do so from him.

“You are fired!" Mr. Allen roared into his face. Those three words were like blades that could easily cut through anything. Those forbidden words that they all dreaded so much and tried to escape from, was been said to Jackson, Mr. Allen's bodyguard.

...

Fashion empire was owned and run by the Allen family. The company was issued to Madison, who had greatly wanted to become a fashion designer herself, that she had to study it at one of the best and most prestigious institutions.

She was really good at it and helped the company gain recognition. Prestigious men and women would always come to the company for the best designs.

In an office that seemed to be disorganized, with books and sketch pads lying almost everywhere. Madison sat on her desk, staring at a sketch pad on a board.

She looked really frustrated, as she shook her head and sighed. Walking towards the board, she pulled out the sketch pad and tore it. Folding it into a ball, she threw it on the floor, creating even more heap of mess.

“Why??" She shouted in frustration and banged her fist on the table.

She had every right to be annoyed or frustrated, as she couldn't concentrate with the constant reminders that the clock was ticking for her to get married in a month.

It had greatly affected her mentally and she was becoming frustrated. She ran her hand through her hair and sighed again.

“Are you ok ma'am?”

A feminine voice rang out in her ears. She did not need to turn to recognize her employee. “I'm fine Hazel... What do you want?" She asked and turned to face the young girl.

She had a porcelain skin tone, her black lashes were not long but short. She had a few freckles at the base of her nose and thin rosy pink lips. Her Cinnamon brown hair was in a ponytail. She wasn't the really beautiful type but she was pretty.

“I will be leaving Miss... So I was wondering if you will like..." She began but was cut short by Madison, who waved at her.

“You may go," Madison said and smiled at her. Her eyes fell on the sketch pad in the young lady's hand. “You have something for me?" She asked.

“Yes..." Hazel replied as she handed the sketch pad to Madison, who glanced through it, with frustration etched on her face.

“Is there a problem?" She asked with a slightly worried look.

“Yes, there is..." Madison replied absentmindedly, as her eyes locked onto the sketch.

At that moment, Hazel felt her heart sink. She had worked hard on that sketch and seeing her boss's disappointed look, pricked her. She was expecting a different reaction than what she was witnessing.

Madison looked just in time to see the young lady's crestfallen look. “No..." She immediately said. “It's great." She added.

She was so deep in thought earlier, that she replied without thinking. She knew that the young lady had misunderstood her and probably thought she was disappointed with the sketch, Alas, the young lady's countenance did not change.

“It's a good sketch,” Madison said and the young lady gave a slight smile. “You may go home, I'll keep it,” she added.

“Ok..." Hazel simply responded and headed for the door. “Bye Miss." She said and walked out.

Madison sighed deeply as guilt washed over her. She did not intentionally try to hurt the young lady's feelings and it made her even more annoyed.

...

It's been over an hour since the young lady left the office. The room was quiet and there were even more pieces of sketched works on the ground.

Madison would have allowed her employees to do the sketching themselves but she did not. She wanted to sketch something, to take her mind off things.

She sat on her desk again, looking at the board. This time, it looked like she finally found what she had been looking for, as there was a slight smile on her lips.

She nodded satisfactorily, as she slowly took out the sketch pad. “Much better." She mumbled and smiled again.

This time, her eyes scrutinized her office and she almost gasped from the mess in the room. She wasn't aware that she had been creating such a mess, due to her frustrations. With a sigh, she began to tidy up her office and stared at the clock. Her brows creased as she studied the time.

She quickly tidied her office and walked out of the office, heading for the elevator. She did not look scared, as she walked into the quiet hall.

The sounds of her heels tapping the floor echoed in the building. She walked into the elevator and punched the button for the bottom floor. She sighed as the door closed shut.

The light in the elevator flickered but she did not worry much about it, although the total silence was beginning to creep her out. The lights flickered again, and this time, she could finally hear her heartbeats racing faster.

    She felt goosebumps on her skin and chills running down her spine, as everything just felt eerie to her. Fortunately, the elevator door slid open for her and she walked out. Now she was in another hall and was heading towards a staircase. She exited the door hastily and found herself outside the building. The chilly air blew on her face but even as the night breeze was cozy, sweats broke out on her forehead. She felt she was being watched by someone, being monitored and spied on. Although she looked and scanned her surroundings with her eyes, she did not find anyone. As she walked to the parking lot, her hand rummaged her bag for her phone. Her hands were shaking and her legs felt like jelly, as she walked into the dimly lit underground parking space. There were three cars in the parking space, as all the workers had already retired to Their homes, to be prepared for work the next day. She walked towards her car and noticed a piece of paper tuck between her car windshield and win

    The room fell silent and not a single word could be heard. Even the maids, working close by, stood and watched in anticipation. Madison was shocked by her father’s utterance. She? Have a personal guard? What a joke! She thought to herself, as she stared at her father in the eyes, expecting him to tell her that he was only trying to pull her legs, but alas, he did not say a word but kept staring back at her. “You are kidding, right?" She asked, breaking the silence. She couldn’t believe it! He was actually serious about her having a personal guard. She couldn’t help but look to stare at the young man, that was the cause of the pain she was feeling at the moment. As she watched him, staring back into her eyes, she began to hate him. Why her? Why was every bad thing, happening to her? She wondered, as her eyes locked onto his. Suddenly, she had a feeling of Déjà vu. Those eyes…She thought to herself, as she wondered where she had met him before. Even his hair looked quite familiar.

    “Lilith..." Mr. Allen said with a smile and sat on a seat, opposite hers. “I won't beat around the bush,” he said and Lilith raised a brow in confusion. But then, she smirked at him and stood up again. Walking towards the bar section, she went behind the counter and took out some wine and glasses. Walking towards her seat, she smiled again. “Care to join me?” She asked but he declined. “Aww….that’s too bad.” She said and after taking her seat, she popped the wine and poured herself some. Taking a sip, she smiled and stared at the wine glass. “So why have you come?” she asked again and stared at him. Mr. Allen smiled at her and nodded. “I need a guard from you as always and I know you have what I want,” he said to her. “Of course..." Lilith replied with a smile. “What do you have for me in return?” she asked him and sipped from her wine. “The usual,” he replied and with a snap of his finger, his guard stepped forward with a case. Dropping the case on a table, he clicked it open, t

    Their kiss deepened, and the moment she pressed her body against him, his mouth latched onto her slender throat. it earned him a gasp and a sexy whimper... And he continued sucking, devouring as if he wanted her to make those sounds again. “Chase..." Janet said, almost out of breath. She kissed him even harder. Her fingers sunk into his scalp as she pulled him closer, her finger fisting into his hair. It was as though their closeness wasn't enough. In a swift motion, they changed positions. Her back now leaned on the door, while he pressed his body to hers. She felt his hand gliding lower, from the small of her back, down to her bottom. Another gasp was wrenched from her now swollen, red, and moist lips. Impatiently, Chase carried her as they crashed into furniture, on the way to the bed. Nevertheless, they both seemed not to care about the damage, as they both kept kissing each other. “You taste so good," Janet said as she kissed him, and using her free hand, she reached removed

    Earlier at the ballroom, Madison had switched to a male partner and had begun to grace the floor with him. This was a big relief to her because at least now she wouldn't have to be around, for a while. She didn't know the man she was dancing with but with his body build and stature, she could swear he was in his late fifties. His eyes brimmed with delight as they peered at her. He put his hands on her waist while she wrapped her arms around his neck as they followed the beat of the soft ballad music that was playing from one end of the hall. Madison loves the atmosphere and wished she could attend a party like this with the man she truly loves and not an idiot like Chase. Only the heavens knew how much she hated him and there was nothing that could change that fact. “You look beautiful, dear... " The unfamiliar man complimented her with a smile, revealing the set of pearly white teeth in his mouth. "So, tell me about yourself," he said in a husky but loud voice. His brows arched a

    As Madison got closer to the room her curious look quickly changed into a frown as she was sure she could vaguely recognize the voice. She stood in front of the door, and her heart thudded loudly. She was unsure of herself and doubted if it was Chase. Standing right in front of the door, her hand gripped the door handle and her head began to bang terribly.She tried to listen to the sounds that were made in the room, to confirm her thought. She leaned in, placing her ear on the door, trying to eavesdrop. At first, there were only groans and moans coming from the room, so she wasn't certain if it was Chase. Though the voice of the male moaning sounded familiar, she didn't want to conclude until she was sure, so she remained outside the door.Suddenly she heard a sound, someone had just spoken and immediately, she frowned. She was sure the voice sounded familiar. This time, she didn't hesitate but slowly twisted the knob of the door, open.She felt disgusted as she watched the duo on

    Chase remained standing still naked, staring at the spot Madison stood some minutes ago. He ran his fingers through his hair and groaned in pure frustration. He had no idea how this could have gotten this bad. All he wanted was a quick tumble in the sheets to pass time at that buzzkill of a party. Then he would go back down and continue with his night with Madison. It had been going so well too. She didn't seem as cold as she normally was to him. Although he suspected that might have been due to his new approach to her but that was beside the point. Now everything was already ruined. Another groan escaped his lips. He had to fix this. Otherwise, it could cause some major problems for his future plans. He sighed and like someone being possessed, he swirled around and walked towards Janet. “Hey…” Janet said, getting out of the bed with the duvet still covering her exposed skin. She had a look of concern on her face, as she walked toward him. Walking towards him, she placed her two ha

    Dinner was a little more than a bore to her. As always her parents discussed the affairs of the family company, including all the new products and ways to increase profits and productivity. Technical jargon flew over her head despite being stuff she would need when she eventually took over. That did not trouble her much though. She was smart and she knew it. Everything that she needed to know had long been memorized. Madison blocked the chatter out to simply stare at her food blankly. Her mind kept replaying that scene where she had walked in on her supposed fiancé cheating on her. She didn't even know what to feel. Her emotions were a jumbled mess at this point. A part of her was glad that she had gotten more dirt on the bastard, and another was a bit angry that he had the gall to cheat on her so easily. A bigger portion of her though simply could not be bothered to care too much. It was not like this would do much if she tried to expose him after all. The man used to be a pornstar.

    Walking into the old abandoned building, Carl set Madison down on the ground as he wiped off the sweat on his forehead. He examined her wound with a deep frown on his face and although it was just a little scratch that would heal in days, he was still angry and bloodthirsty. He wanted to harm those that have put her in such a situation. He wanted to hear them cry out to him for forgiveness as he makes them go through so much more than Madison had experienced. “Madison.” He called out to her while moving a few strands of bloodied hair, away from her face. He bite his lower lip as soon as she did not respond. He was very tired and quickly sat beside Madison while placing her head on his lap. He did not want her to feel sore when she regains consciousness. “Once everything is over, I’ll give you the life you deserve.” He swore as he patted her head, slowly. For some time, there was peace and quiet as Carl just leaned on the brick wall with Madison’s head resting properly on his lap with

    “What do you mean ?” Carl voiced out with concern. He was tensed and it was evident on his face how wary he was. “You will find out.” Lilith just said to him before she hung up. Carl inserted his phone back into his pocket and walked back into the room in a haste. He ignored the worried stare he was getting from Madison and walked towards the wardrobe, pulling out a bag from it. “What’s wrong?” Madison asked him as she stood up from the bed. She was worried, as she had no idea what was going on. It had barely been five minutes since Carl stepped out, only for him to return. She could feel that he was worried and it alarmed her. “We are leaving right now!” he simply said to her without taking a glance at her and just began to take out the bags. “Now? Why?” Madison asked him, as she followed him out. Now she was curious to know what was happening. She followed after him, as she went down the stairs. The floorboards creaked as soon as they were stepped on. “What’s going on?” Paul

    A splash of cold water was all it took for Alesha to wake up. She gasped and her eyelashes fluttered before she looked around to observe her surroundings. The rattling of the chains bound to her reechoed in her eardrums. She was lost and, aside from that, she did not recognize where she was. She could almost hear her heartbeat pick up pace as it pounded hard against her ribcage like it was trying to escape its prison in her chest. She reeked of sweat and blood and her hair was damp with her sweat. Now, she could see them…her kidnappers, and they all had menacing looks on their faces like they weren’t there to play. They meant serious business and she knew that if she offended them, she might not be left off that easy. She quickly stared at her legs, as the thought of what had happened previously, clouded her mind. Surprisingly, her legs were perfectly fine. There were no bruises, nothing. “What sorcery is this?” she questioned her insanity In doubt as she was sure that just some fe

    Carl and Madison arrived at their destination, a small building. Looking at the environment, Madison began to admire the work of nature as a smile beamed on her face. She could see a garden by the side of the house and a few flowers by the side of the porch. This was what she wanted, to live in a normal house, without any worries, and not in a mansion like her family. She didn’t need all that money and having to attend huge parties thrown by a celebrity or a governor. She wanted to live a simple life and she was sure she was going to like her stay here.Carl walked to the porch and pressed lightly on the doorbell, immediately, they could both hear the faint sound of music coming from within the house. Soon, the door opened and a little girl peeked out from behind the door.“Sam,” Carl said with a smile on his face as he stared at the young girl.“Uncle Carl.” The girl said excitedly, as she ran out and hugged Carl by the waist.Madison looked at the little girl without knowing whether

    [WARNING! CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT, NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNG READERS.]Time paused as soon as Carl just remained still while looking at her in disbelief. “Are you sure you want this?” he asked her and she nodded. “What if it hurt?” he asked her with a creased brow.“I don’t mind the pain…I am tired of keeping my virginity Carl, this is my life and I decide what I want to do with it…I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Carl. I want you to take me as yours…I want...” “Shhh.” He shushed, cutting her off while placing a finger on her lips. “I am all yours.” He said as he allowed her to slide down his shorts and gawk at his hardness.Madison swallowed nervously, as she had never seen a man’s genital before and this was her first time. She stared at his face and at the bulge, nervous.Carl seemed to notice how she felt, so he took it upon himself and slowly pushed his bulge through her slick and bloodied entrance and stopped when he saw her contort her face in discomfort and pain.

    Carl and Madison boarded a cab, as soon as they finally arrived at their destination but she had no idea where she was going. She was still in her wedding gown and was still attracting people’s attention to herself, which she did not like.“Where are we going?” she asked Carl, as she took a glance at their unfamiliar surroundings. The smell of wet earth and grass, filled her nostrils, as the cab sped past buildings and trees.“We are going to look for a place to stay.” He replied instead and smiled at her. His indifferent look was nowhere to be seen as he spoke to her.“Are you two a couple?” the cab man couldn’t help but ask as he stared at the duo from the rearview mirror. “I don’t mean to offend anyone, I’m just curious.” He said to them and Madison smiled.“Don’t mind the gown…we are not...” “Yes, we are married,” Carl said, interrupting her while placing a palm on her hand. “We just got married.” He added and Madison gawked at him in surprise.The cabman smiled as he glanced at

    The sounds of sirens broke the peaceful atmosphere, as corpses were being conveyed from the wedding venue to the morgue by ambulance. Even the police had stormed the place, as they handcuffed the perpetrator and led him toward the police van not caring about treating his injured shoulder or bruised face. Family members of the deceased, either wailed or threw curses at Chase for killing their loved ones. The press did not miss such a golden opportunity, as they asked questions and took pictures for their story. Chase sat at the back of the van handcuffed, with a few guards of his who only broke a few bones and some policemen. He did not say a word but cursed in his heart with hatred. He suddenly began to wish he had shot Carl himself, instead of letting his guards do it. But now, there was no need to cry over spilled milk. This wasn’t how he had expected it to go. His vision was dulled by the blood seeping out slowly from his wounded forehead. Soon, the van started moving and he

    “You!” Chase said as he stared at Carl in disbelief. “How are you still… “ he said before he trailed off. His eyes darted toward Madison and he could see a smile on her lips, from the thin transparent veil over her face. He felt his heart bleed and his blood boil like it was being cooked. The congregation was confused, as they stared at the mysterious man at the church’s entrance. Madison’s parents were both confused and relieved to have Carl there. They wondered why he had come alone and what he was going to do, while they were relieved that his presence alone, might be what they needed to save their daughter from making a mistake. “What are you waiting for?!” Chase bellowed at his guards, as he inched closer to Madison. “Kill the intruder!! “ he ordered but before they could pull out their weapons, sounds of gunshots reverberated in the hall, gunning them down. Sounds of screams of panic filled the hall, as the congregation began to rub Helter skelter, trampling on one another,
