“Madeline, can we sit and talk in a civil manner?” He asked me in a distant tone. Those green eyes which used to harbour warmth for me, now seemed empty. I felt like I was talking to a complete stranger. “I have seen and heard enough, Logan. You asked me to keep our marriage a secret because you wanted us to focus on our studies and career. Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to wait for you in a hope that one day, my sacrifice will be rewarded and you’ll come back to me? And you paid me like this?” I accused him while tears flew uncontrollably from my eyes. “What nonsense! My husband would never marry someone like you.” Kate taunted me. “Madeline, we were never married officially. I had to agree to my grandfather’s last wish because I couldn’t refuse him. I always loved you as my best friend but there were never romantic feelings attached. I thought you were smart enough to understand when I broke all contacts with you. Kate is my wife. The sooner you accept, the lesser you’ll feel bad.” He said without any remorse. He crushed my heart under the brutal ridicule of his heartlessness.
View More[ Madeline Parker ]The dull ache in my heart intensified when his wife’s gaze fell on me and the mockery in her sly smile was enough to make me realise that I showed my weakness in front of them. So, I hardened my exterior and walked past them, ignoring their presence as if they were invisible to my eyes. My breathing became laboured.Logan Wesley has the guts to show at my house and questioned me when he rubs his marital status on my face. I closed the restroom door shut and leaned on the counter. My reflection mocked back at me.“Calm down, Madeline. You can’t fall weak. He can’t break you like this.” I told myself. It is my mantra but it depends on me how I stick to my own decision.I took a few deep breaths and decided to go back. The meeting should be my main concern. But the door opened and there walked the beautiful woman who left permanent imprint on my mind.“Good evening, Miss Parker.” She used over sweet voice to greet me as she leaned on the next tap. Our eyes met through
[ Madeline Parker ]“What do you mean you are not going to sue those bastards?” My father looked at me like I have said something horrendous.“I have nothing to do with the Wesley family, Dad. I made it very clear that I won’t file for a divorce because the marriage isn’t registered which means it will only throw dirt on us. I only want to take what they have snatched from us.” I reminded my father about my decision but he didn’t seem to be pleased by my firmness.He slammed his palms on the desk, he does it to intimidate the other person but I wasn’t effected. In fact, I sat calmly. Logan’s words kept resonating in my mind. He knows about our son means he won’t sit quietly for a long time. I need to keep him out of the radar as long as I can and if I file for a divorce, it’ll only encourage them to dig dirt into my personal life and Chris won’t be a secret anymore.“Are you scared for Chris?” His question came out more like a statement.I looked up and found him staring at me intentl
[ Logan Wesley ]I flopped on the sofa, sighing in frustration. This is all getting complicated. Madeline is back into my life and I can’t stop myself from thinking about her. I am unable to get her out of my head since I just came across another shocking surprise of my life.I have a kid with Madeline!All the way back home, I couldn’t stop but feel angered on her. She hid my kid from me. She had no right to keep my son secret from me but I am the one at fault. I pushed her out of the picture intentionally.“Fuck! What am I going to do? She considers me as her enemy now.” I cursed inaudibly as I didn’t want my house staff or Kate to hear anything. The last thing I wish is for another chaotic drama with Kate who becomes loud and throws tantrums over small things.I checked the time, it was almost midnight. Hoping, Kate would be fast asleep, I decided to rest in the spare bedroom since I want to be alone to figure out my next step, it’s going to be like walking on egg shells for me. I
[ Madeline Parker ]I fell down on the sofa, still trying to process what just happened. Logan was here, he knows about Christopher and the determined look in his eyes, it was clear that he won’t be losing easily. I realised what it meant. He had met Christopher now.I don’t know what to do now. What should I do? Would he want to be a part of Christopher’s life? Well, he has equal rights on my son as his biological father if he drags it in the court but he is only my son. I have raised him alone. Would he try to take him away from me?I didn’t feel when my eyes became teary. I felt vulnerable. No matter what happens, I’d fight for my son till my last breath. Logan Wesley destroyed me but he can’t have Christopher.I also know that if he wants his custody, he can easily get it. He has more money and influence than me. I want to run with my son again to an unknown place far from here but I also know that it’s not possible. I didn’t promise my son a life more like a suffering prison. He
[ Logan Wesley ]My blood ran cold. I my eyes were glued on the little boy. It can’t be true. The boy looked like a xerox copy of me, his age also indicated at the only possibility that he could be mine. His big blue eyes blinked at me in confusion and again locked with Madeline who looked pale.My heartbeats raced, adrenaline rushed through my veins. If my calculations are right, he is my child. A baby I and Madeline created together in the only time we had sex during our wedding night.“Is he mine?” I managed to ask her but she stood like a statue, remained unmoved and silent.I felt somewhat frustrated and hurt. She had kept a child secret from me.“Madeline Parker, I am asking you again, is he my child?” I pointed my finger at the boy but I kept my voice down. As much as I was desperate to know about the paternity of the boy, I didn’t want to startle him. I need to clear a few things with his mother first.Madeline seemed to come out of her shock and she quickly rushed to him whil
[ Madeline Parker ]“I am sure that I certainly don’t look like some Miss Ava.”I blinked my eyes to believe whether I was hallucinating or Logan Parker was standing in front of me. I opened my mouth to say something but my unannounced guest welcomed himself inside my house without my permission.“Logan, what the hell are you doing here?” I whispered yelled, I wanted to scream my lungs out but I couldn’t afford to wake up my son. My heart began to thump loudly inside my chest.My worst fear was knocking at my door.His eyes which were scanning my living room, shifted back on me, his lips pursed into a thin line, “I should be asking you this question, Maddie. What the hell was Noah Miller doing here at such hour?” His eyes darkened and his fists clenched.“Excuse me? Who the hell are you to ask me this question?” My anger simmered.“Oh really? Are you asking me who I am to you? Don’t you remember your little show at my company? You and your father were the one to claim your rights as m
[ Madeline Parker ]A week passed, I haven’t heard from Logan or seen him. Honestly, I was glad, I don’t want him around me because my son is my first concern and my decision has certainly brought him in jeopardy. Sooner or later, Logan would come after me and there are high chances that he’d dig my secret out.“Mom, are you listening?” Chris’ voice and a gentle tug on my forearm snapped me out of my conflicting thoughts.His big green eyes were staring at me curiously.“No, baby, it just the workload. Come here, Mom wants to cuddle with you.” I opened my arms for him. He is the source of my happiness. He quickly crawled on my lap and buried his face on my chest, my hand automatically wrapped around his tiny body. He is the only good blessing I received from Logan.“You look sad for few days. You can tell me.” He said in a concerned voice. My heart swelled with pride. My five years old kid is very sensitive about my feelings.“No, baby, Mom is only tired due to my work. I am new to a
[ Logan Wesley ]I pinched the bridge of my nose, so completely annoyed and exhausted. I received an invitation from the Skylark Group, initially I thought it was a conclave of businessmen across the country but opposite happened.Madeline was announced as the legal heir and director of the Skylark Group. The newspaper, which is laying on my lap, had covered the whole event and printed the news in bold headlines on the front page, it was mocking me. I am sure my parents’ mood would be rotten as vomit. They are habitual to see us on the centre stage of headlines and in success.Guess what? They have called me to meet them over lunch since I skipped the dinner and this time I ran out of excuses. I checked the time, it was almost one-thirty. They usually eat around two means I was late.“Sir, this is the report of the marketing team’s performance that you asked for.” My P.A.’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts.“Keep it in the drawer and cancel all my meetings for today.” I ordered her
[ Madeline Parker ]“Excuse me, Mister?” I fumed in anger. His statement was not only offending but a direct invasion of my personal life’s matters.“You heard me very well, Madeline. I do not need to repeat my words.” He said challenge my patience with his green eyes.I scoffed and pinched the bridge of my nose, “Saying the man who was fucking his mistress right in front of my eyes.” I taunted him and guilt flashed on his face.“We need to talk, Maddie.” He said in a slightly gentler tone.“It’s Miss Parker for you, Mr. Wesley and I don’t have anything to do with you. Now, excuse me.” I said and tried to walk past him but in the next second, I was pinned on the wall, his face just a few inches away from me, his intoxicating perfume filled my nostrils and his eyes bored into mine.I saw a mixture of emotions stirring in those green orbs.“Walk out of here and see what I am going to do, Madeline.” He said in a raspy voice, his hot breath which smelled of raw whiskey falling on my face.
[ Madeline Parker ]“I can’t believe, my little angel is getting married today. It still feels like yesterday when we first held her in our arms.” I heard my Mom’s emotional words.I stared at my reflection in the mirror, I was dressed in my wedding gown with a diamond tiara and pearl embedded veil. I, myself can’t believe, at the age of eighteen I am getting married to the boy who stole my heart when I first saw him in the 9th grade, it’s like a fairy tale. I fell for my best friend and our parents fixed our marriage because they think we’re perfect for each other.“Sweetie, it’s the time.” Dad’s steady voice ripped me out of my memory lane. I took a deep breath and turned to face my parents. They had tears in their eyes. I am their only child, they brought me up like a princess and always fulfilled my wish, even if it was expressing my wish to marry Logan, my best friend.“I’ll miss you, guys.” I sobbed.“Maddie, don’t be stupid, it’s the matter of only two weeks. You’re going to li...
