Bound by Revenge, Saved by Love Chapter 125: Alleged Dinner Invitation
Maximilian “Max,” Rebecca says to me once I confide in her about the matter of Damson Port having escaped the institution he was in. “You can’t do that. You have to tell her.”“How will I tell her when I know how much it’ll stress her out?” I demand. “She was telling me just the other day that she was so glad those people were out of our lives! Come on, Rebecca. You know I can’t stress her out like this.”“I know what the doctor said but don’t you think it’ll be worse if she finds out from someone else?”“Who would tell her?” I ask while looking around. “You’re the only other person I’ve told about this. Besides, the guy lost his mind. Who’s to say that he’s looking for us? Maybe he’s just walking around the streets aimlessly and will be found soon.”My sister narrows her eyes at me. “You’re a stubborn shit, you know that? If you’re so sure he’s not a threat then why are you worried to begin with?”She got me there. I don’t have an answer for her question. I run a hand down my face a

Ada “Really? He bought the story!?”“He did,” Rebecca laughs. “You had to see his face! He looking confused that it made me feel bad for lying to him about the invitation.”I laugh heartily at this before I pause and twirl the ends of my hair around my finger. It’s gotten significantly longer since the pregnancy. “Yeah, something serious must have been on his mind because he didn’t seem to be paying attention to anything.”Rebecca falls silent. She doesn’t really like talking about Max whenever I complain about him. And I don’t have complaints—Max is amazing—but even the smallest thing will render her silent. “Oh well. We’ll have fun tonight and he’s coming. You’ll get out of the house for a bit. It’s a win for everyone right?”“Thank you for helping me with this.”“You’re welcome!” she exclaims. “It’ll be great. Wear a pretty dress, do your hair, and we’ll have an amazing time. Okay?”“Okay.”We end the call and I head upstairs. Rebecca bought a few maternity dresses for me and I t

Ada When we arrive at Rebecca’s massive home, my mouth falls open. This is my first time here and I always guessed that she lived in a stylish home but this is beyond anything I could have imagined. The architecture’s completely modern blended in with a few older elements, and of course, it’s all surrounded by nature and marble fountains. It’s magnificent. “I didn’t know her house was like this!” I exclaim as we start up the stone path to the front door. “My sister is over the top with anything she does. Haven’t you noticed? She’s had this house since she was twenty-one and she loves it.”“Twenty-one?” I say, shocked. “Yes. My father built it for her.”“This is where she lived before she moved in with you?”“Yes. With all her husbands.”When we reach the front door, Max doesn’t knock. He just pushes it open. The interior is even more breathtaking and I can’t stop looking around with my mouth agape. This is truly something else. There’s art literally everywhere. She’s clearly a

Ada I bite my bottom lip and look up at Max. He’s staring down at me hopefully and his wish is clear—he wants us to go. Things sr too awkward with his ex and he fears for me because of the nervous tension just filling the room. The air is crackling with it. I know the right decision would probably be for us to go. I didn’t like the vibe she gave off either. But at the same time, Rebecca went through so much trouble to get me here. She even lied to Max about inviting me last night when she didn’t. I don’t want to disappoint her. She didn’t mean for this to happen. Also, I don’t think that we have to ruin our plans because of her. Who is she, anyway? She’s just his ex. Why should she influence how we spend our time?That’s why I say, “We’ll stay.”Rebecca claps and the smile returns to her face. “Perfect. I really want the two of you here. I’ll be waiting for you at the dining room, okay?”As she walks away, Max turns around and fixes his eyes on me. “Baby, are you sure? We can leav

MaximilianIt’s crazy how sometimes the smallest thing in the world could snowball into something huge that’s inescapable. When I offered to leave as soon as I saw Kelly, it wasn’t because I feared anything. No, I just didn’t want Ada to feel uncomfortable because she was a woman I’d used to forget Ada and things between us ended so badly that the tension between us was palpable and just awful in general. I never could have dreamt that Kelly would show her bad and crazy side the way she did. I’ll always question why the heel I didn’t turn around quicker. Why I was so calm even when I heard the fucking screams. It’s too late for any of that, though. Because Kelly breaks the wineglass against the table and then rushes toward Ada. And in slow motion, I watch as she throws her arm in the air, the shard of glass in her hand, and stands Ada’s belly with it. A word leaves my lips. I think I say no. I’m not sure. I throw a punch at Kelly’s face and she falls backward, and then I turn my

Ada Slowly, I open my eyes. The place I’m in is dimly lit and it doesn’t take me too long to realize that I’m in a hospital. The beeping of the monitor is constant and reassuring while I have an oxygen mask over my face. For a few seconds, I allow myself to properly wake up. In my mind, I’m still trying to think of how I got here and why. It’s like the truth is covered under a blanket in my mind and I can’t quite reach it. I try to revisit my last memories and bring them to mind but for some reason, I can’t. What’s going on? I once more close my eyes and try to focus and just like that, it all comes back to me. I gasp when I recall that lunatic woman stabbing me with a shard of glass and how awful and sharp it felt. The pain seemed to travel all the way down to my core and I couldn’t stand it—I pass out. I raise my arms even through they’re slugging. One has an IV in it but the other one is free. I settle it over my belly as tears fill my eyes and my breaths become uneven. I fe

AdaIt’s finally time for me to see my baby. Max is right beside me, his arm securely around my waist. I didn’t know what I would’ve done if he weren’t here right beside me. I don’t think I would’ve survived any of this. I must admit that I’m frightened at the possibility of seeing my child for the first time. I’ve dreamt of this moment for so long. So, so long. It almost hurts to think about it. Things nearly took a dark turn for us. I’m choked with anxiety every time I think that I could’ve lost my baby or died. With time, this will pass. For now, it’s haunting me. We can’t hold her yet, and the only reason why we’re seeing her is because I don’t want to wait a second longer. I’m highly anxious—this is something I never thought I’d experience before. But here it is, dwelling inside of me. “I’m so nervous,” I confess to Max. His arm tightens around me reassuringly before he says, “You’ll be fine. She’s stunning, darling. She has your face.”I’m filled with delight at his conf

Ada “I’ll go check and see what’s happening,” Max suggests. He sounds as concerned as I feel. I nod, placing my hand over my neck as he walks out. For some reason, I’m deeply unsettled by all this noise. My heart’s beating fast and I have the urge to check on our baby. I hope everything is alright and that this is just a false alarm. I wait and wait. I think five minutes pass before I realize that I have to go after him and find out what’s wrong. I rise from the bed when he enters. His eyes are wide and he says, “It’s a downright mess, honey. Police officers are crawling all over the place.”“What?” I ask, horrified. “But what happened?”“I don’t know. The few nurses I came across all asked me to come here and stay put. Await news.”“But did you get to see the baby?”“No. That whole part of the hospital is on lockdown. I think something must’ve happened. Something really serious.”I shake my head and click my tongue against my teeth. I feel deeply unsettled—this isn’t just somethi

MaximilianThe sounds of her sobs make me desperate.I don’t know what I’ve done wrong. “Ada,” I whisper her name softly while caressing her face. She sobs even louder, turning her head to the side like the sound of my voice offends her. I wait for her to speak. It’s the only thing that I can do. “I’m sorry, Max,” she says once she’s calmed down enough. Her eyes are back on mine and they’re red. “I don’t mean to make you feel bad. I just…it hit me all of a sudden. How much things changed.”“Don’t I know it,” I murmur, doing my best to keep things between us light though it’s almost impossible to ignore how hard I am right now, and how she’s the only woman I’ve wanted for so long. “I feel like such a failure,” she admits. “It’s not easy, coming to terms with a separation. I loved you, Max. There are times when I think that I always will.”I meet her gaze, hope surging inside of me. “So will I. I’ll always love you no matter what happens between us.”“I’m scared,” she admits. “I’m t
Bound by Revenge, Saved by Love Chapter 148: Waves
AdaWhen Max arrives, I have to admit that I feel nervous. Really nervous. Like I know what will happen before I do. Our eyes lock the minute I open the door, and a heated moment passes. I don’t know why it happened or even how. I just know that I feel this heat low in my belly at the sight of him and it didn’t happen when we saw each other the first time. This is a bad idea. I know it. Yet, I open the door wider for him, inviting him into my apartment. Max walks in uncertainly, looking around and clearing his throat. He’s clearly uncomfortable and perhaps senses the same thing that I do. I close the door and take a deep breath. “How are you feeling?” I whirl around to face him and notice that his eyes are already on me. Licking my lips, I say, “I’ve had better days.”His eyes soften with concern and for some reason, I’m transported back to the old days—the days when we used to be together all the time. He looked at me in this exact same way. “Did he try to call you again?”I
Bound by Revenge, Saved by Love Chapter 147: Inviting Over
Ada But Damson never calls me, and in the end, my hopes are crushed and I have this despair deep inside of me because I don’t know what to do. Why didn’t he call?I didn’t do anything wrong. I followed his stupid instructions. I did what I was supposed to! Yet, he left me hanging, which makes me wonder exactly what his plan is. I thought I had the whole thing figured out. Apparently, I was wrong. I’m so demotivated that when my phone rings and I see that it’s Max, I cry before getting any word out. On the other end of the line, his despair is evident, and even though I hear all his questions, I can’t bring myself to answer any of them. “Ada? Ada, please, tell me what happened. Please. Don’t leave me like this. Is it Damson? What did he do? What did he say?”“I can’t take this anymore,” I sob. “I can’t. He told me he’d send me the address. Told me I’d get to…to see Victoria today.”Max is silent as I try to get my emotions in check. Sniffling and feeling considerably calmer, I say

Ada “Today is the day,” Damson says as soon as I answer the call. This sends goosebumps spreading all across my skin and I suck in a breath through my teeth. “What? What do you mean?”“I can’t tell you more but do you trust me.”I tuck a lock of hair behind my ear and fight my parched throat. I move away from the window in the living room and turn to sit on the couch instead. I don’t think my legs can keep supporting me. “Yes, I trust you.”“Then that’s all I can say to you. I don’t want to ruin the surprise. We’ll talk soon, alright?”After the call, I walk around my apartment restlessly. I’m chewing my nails. I’m pacing the floor of the living room. It’s a mess, waiting for Damson to call me again. The strange part about all this is that Max didn’t call me the way he usually does. What does that mean? That he doesn’t receive a call?I think briefly of calling him before deciding that it just isn’t worth it. What if Damson wants me to see my daughter today or something similar? May

MaximilianI nod. “That’s him.”“You’re sure?”“One hundred percent,” I grit out. “I would never forget his face. Not ever.”I’m exhilarated that we’ve managed to catch him. I know that this isn’t much—we still don’t know where he lives—but this is more progress than has been made in years. The investigator says, “I’ll be watching him closely after this to ensure that we find his residence as quickly as possible but the shop’s clerk didn’t have a fixed time. He comes and goes whenever he has to shop and it’s usually at random times. I’ve also mentioned this to Miss Loxley here, but they’ve never seen the girl. Not once in all these years.”“What could that mean?”The man shrugs. “Just that he keeps her well. I don’t know enough to draw any conclusions—this is just me guessing at things.”“We understand that,” Rebecca cuts in. My eyes are drawn to the screen again. Years of hatred bubble inside of me and nearly spill over. I have to keep it all in for when the time is right. “It’ll

MaximilianEvery time my phone rings, it can only be one of two people: Ada or that fucking lunatic. At least, that’s how it’s been in the last few days. But this time, it’s Rebecca who’s calling me. So much has happened since I last spoke to her that I forgot all about our interaction. “Max,” she says. “I have news.”“If it’s about Damson, forget it,” I say right away. “We’re already negotiating and I don’t want you getting involved and ruining everything.”Her response is a sputter. “What? What are you talking about? You’re talking to him? How? When did this happen?”“Very recently,” I reply, my tone clipped. “Max, you can’t buy into his story! That man is evil and he’s out to get both of you! I take it you didn’t call the police?”“Rebecca, we’re taking care of this the way we see fit. Thank you for your help but I never asked for it. I don’t want it.”“Max, I told you about the investigator, didn’t I? Well, now we have some information and he might have found the area that Dam

Ada The next time Damson calls, I’m ready for him. “Hello, Ada,” he says in that strange voice of his. “How have you been? Did you miss me?”The first time, I was so caught off guard that I didn’t know what to say or where to even begin. I had nothing in my head apart from the crippling despair that came with wanting to know where my daughter was. But since Max and I spoke and I had time to think about this, I knew what Damson expected of me. I knew deep inside of me what he wanted—what kind of cooperation he was looking for. And for Victoria, I would do it all. “Yes,” I answer in a small voice, trying to sound afraid. I hoped he would buy my act because that was what I would be doing for the next few times we talked. Until I found our daughter, that is. I hear the sound of water. It sounds like he’s taking a bath. “I’ve been taking to Max. I always call him before I call you. You know why?”I don’t answer him. “It’s because I need to remind myself why I did all this before I
Bound by Revenge, Saved by Love Chapter 142: Work Together
Ada So much has happened today that I’m not even shocked that Max is standing in my living room. When I received Damson’s call, it left me completely disoriented. As I stare at Max’s face, I recall it even now. I don’t think I would ever be able to forget the phone call I had with him. “Hello, Ada,” he said. Though he sounded the same, his voice had a strange ring to it. “It’s been a long time since we’ve talked, hasn’t it?”I was so shocked that he was talking to me that I didn’t say anything in response for like a solid minute. I thought it was perhaps an interviewer or something. I never would have guessed that it was him even though I’d been waiting for this call for the longest time. For seven years, to be precise. “I thought you’d be happy to hear from me,” he claimed. “I’ve been holding myself back for the longest time. Every single day that passed, I wanted to call you. But I held myself. Now the time has come.”My breaths became shaky and I couldn’t open my mouth to spea
Bound by Revenge, Saved by Love Chapter 141: Seven Years
Maximilian “It’s been a long time since we last spoke, haven’t we?” Damson says in my ear. His voice still has that crazy quality to it. He doesn’t sound like a sane person. And the worst part is that this man is by my daughter’s side, somewhere out there. We don’t even know if he left the state or even the country. We know nothing. I clench my jaw so tightly that I hear a molar crack. I remind myself that this time, things have to be different. I need to stay calm and hope that this time, he’s going to tell me what he wants so we can get our daughter back. Everything is depending on me. “You always had so much to say, and now you’re saying nothing. You’re silent. I wonder…does that mean you declare defeat?”“Yes,” I say, the word scratching the sides of my throat and making my mouth so bitter that I nearly gag. I’ll say whatever I can to please this man. I’d do absolutely everything.“Yes? Good,” he claims. “Ada has received a similar call from me and she has also declared defe
