MADISON'S POV*I feel bad. My eyes stayed at her until I don't see her shadow anymore. Sighing. I sat down and stared at the food that I don't feel like eating anymore. I feel guilty at a crime that I don't even know what it is. I just feel like... I'm the main reason why she's like that.She looks hurt and betrayed and wrecked. It's like... It's like I stole something very important to her.Fuck. How come that wherever I go, issue is flocking around me. It feels like issue is following me. I'm not doing anything though.I'm just trying to live peacefully.Yet, they seem to be enjoying bothering me. The faith, I mean.Is it my fault?

I was clenching the cloak that he placed in my shoulders as I waited for his answer. I don't want to think ahead because he's Jordan. I should trust him but.. he's a man. And my experience with getting along with them always ended up badly.Yet there's some hope in me that's wishing that he'll be different.But Jordan stared at me with sad eyes before smiling bitterly. That when I doubted myself if I should be asking my benefactor this kind of questions. I dropped my head staring at my feet."Hmm I wonder why?"My head snapped when he suddenly asked playfully. He's smiling but I can't return the smile that he's giving me.It's a smile that's saying it's okay but his eyes are saying the opposite. I bit my lips and frowned. Maybe he felt like I'm really confused that I'm fighting myself with the possibilities. Even if Jordan is my childhood friends, many things changed especially that he disappeared. I don't know what change he did but I know he's still my friend. I fear that it is m
AUTHOR'S POV"You should pay attention to her, Jordan. Your baby is going to suffer if this will continue."Madison and Jordan both froze when the doctor siad that.'Really, they look good together.'The doctor find them cute as they both look like a couple that will be having their first child. He thought that Madison is Jordan's wife and is the father of the child inside her womb.Madison wants to correct the doctor and tell him that Jordan is not the father of her child but she thought that Jordan would do that and if she say that all of the sudden., it may put Jordan in an awkward situation.The room went silent as the doctor wrote the prescription of vitamins that Madison should take."I'll say it again. You should just rest and think less, child. If you continue to think and think and to feel stress all the time, I'm telling you, this will be very, very hard for the baby inside you. And Jordan, take care of them. Help your wife to lessen her worries, okay?"Madison flinched when
AUTHOR'S POVJordan frowned after hearing the news that he have a visitor and that visitor's name is Gavin Morgan.'What the hell is that bastard doing here?'He thought, clenching his hands. The maid noticed her master's change of mood. She knew that Jordan is kind but they also knew that he's not someone who you can take advantage of, especially because he's not really the type of person who's doing kindness because of good will.'He's kind because we're obedient and hard working.'The maid lowered her head waiting for his order. "I'll take care of it. You can go now." He said.It was a calm response despite of his appearance that can scare anyone who see it. The maid nodded her head and leave with her head still down.'Damn it.'Jordan started walking towards the main gate and saw a man with the same age as him standing in front of the gate, talking to the guard on duty.He could already see the man's fierce glare towards him that made him smirked. Jordan have no intention of tell
"Fuck!"The Morgan's territory that recently became lively turned back to it's usual dark and quiet atmosphere. Servants and maids became more afraid everytime the master of their territory would have a rampage. Every room that he came from was either destroyed or in a mess. They can't even move with his presence. And now, his people can't do anything but to watch their master to destroy everything inside his office.It started after he came back from the Dein's territory. The front door slammed open, breaking the doorknob. After marching towards his office where some of his people gathered, he ordered them to leave but they stayed outside of his office until they heard something broke. And they are still scared and worried even if they witness such act multiple times already."My lord!""My lord are you alright?!"But their Lord, Gavin Morgan, couldn't hear them. He was just standing in the middle of the mess mumbling something they can't hear. His hands were clenching and his fi

"Look at me."Thinking that she will be seayed by the tone he used. He said seductively but Massie still refused to open her eyes. She's scared to look at him and to feel longing while looking to his eyes.'His eyes used to be filled with love and affection towards me. But now...'"I said look at me, you bitch!"Massie accidentally opened her eyes when he grips her cheeks tighter almost digging his nails to her smooth and flawless skin. He's annoyed."Because of what you did at Madison Morgan, everything became more complicated. How can I torture Gavin now? Useless bitch!"Froylan let go of her cheeks and landed a hard slap in her f
JASMINE'S POV*I liked Gavin.But don't get me wrong, I don't have a plan to steal someone else's husband. I liked him but I never thought of pursuing him or doing something to make him mine.I'm not a 'die hard' crushing. I just used to idolized him and he's the most attractive guy in our school and until recently. Most of the girls that I knew was Gavin's admirer. I even know someone tried to use her family's wealth and assets to marry him but... Gavin's status is no joke. Even the high ranking officials will not be labeled as same as Gavin.That's not the reason why I liked him though.He just seems to be cool and decent... before.I've known Gavin for like, ages ago. Our family knew his sister but not close but, since I'm friends with Veni, I often hang out with them since Bennedix and Gavin always hanging out at the Garrin's manor.

Your expression...""Good afternoon, Lee. What's this? I don't remember asking a favor from you or is this something related to my work?"I ignored him looking and pointing out my annoyance showing up on my face.I am in front of the door of my father's office when I stopped walking. Lee is my father's right hand, he's older than me but not that old. He must be in his 30s and still not married. It's making me wonder why because I'm telling you, he's kind of hot.But anyway, I opened the folder he gave me and saw bunch of BioData of men that's either in business wolrd or the showbiz industry.What? The fuck?"Hmm. Is this for the cosmetic company? Endorsers or business partner?"Raising my eyebrows, I look at him. But he just give me his usual serious look."It's the list of men that has good background and in
It was a peaceful morning. People just came out of the church and went to their own businesses. “Sylv! Let’s go there!” “Slow down, princess! Sylv is carrying my child!” “C’mon, Jason, don’t be too over protective!” The pregnant woman, named Sylv just laughed as her eyes went to the beautiful lady at the flower shop. “My lady!” She exclaimed as she shove Princess’s hand away. She rushed toward the lady that she saw. “Thank you.” The beautiful lady in a beautiful dress said as she put the bouquet of flowers down. “My lady!” The beautiful lady looked at the person that called her. She beamed when she saw familiar faces getting near them. “Sylv. How are you? How’s the baby?” She asked as she gave them a teasing smile. The couple just blushed as they looked at each other. While Princess just grinned at them. “Ah! Are you alone, my lady?” Jason asked while looking around. The lady shook her head. She was about to answer when someone pulled the hem of her dress. “Mommy! Mom
AUTHOR’S POVAfter that night, Madison woke up because of the knock. Gavin moved a bit to not wake her up but she woke up anyways. Gavin opened the door and saw the head maid looking at him suspiciously as she peaked behind him to see if Madison is alright. The head maid sighed and glared at Gavin.“Don’t look at me like that, Nana Beatrice. I didn’t do anything to my wife.”He groaned. The head maid just sighed and pushed Gavin aside as she pushed a pushing cart containing foods inside.“Good morning, My lady.”“Hmm.”Madison stood up and went to the table with her eyes closed. “I already bought your clothes here so you can change here.”“Hmm.”“Also, your mother dropped by here with a lot of gifts for you.”“Hmm- huh?”Madison’s sleepy eyes went wide open as Gavin just raised both of his eyebrows and went inside the shower.“She was here?”“Yes, My lady.” “With what?”“A lot of gifts, my lady.”Feeling surprised, Madison dazed and remembered what happened yesterday. The head maid
AUTHOR’S POVMiranda was shocked by Gavin’s sudden outburst.Gavin couldn’t care anymore as he only thought of Madison’s state. He felt mad at how Miranda acts in front of them. For him, Miranda isn’t a type of person that he could just convince with such submissive words. Still surprised, Miranda glared at Gavin but Gavin, being himself, just stared back at Miranda. Madison saw the tension between the two so she pulled Gavin’s hand as she turned around to leave.“Madison! Please, let’s talk.”Miranda tried approaching her but Gavin stood in front of him. He can feel that Madison is going to break down any moment if she stays here. For him, even though he didn’t ask Madison about her past, he still has an idea that her childhood didn’t end great.“Get out of my way!”“I can’t do that.”“You..! Madison! Please let’s talk, my love.”Madison stopped on her track as she glanced back at her mother.“Give me time..”She said then leave. Miranda looks devastated that her plan on approachi
What is a mother? What does it take to be a mother? People usually call a person a mother if the woman gave birth to her child. If that person took care of that baby for 9 months and painfully gave birth and loved her child. That’s what mothers usually do.But being a mother isn't just considered as being pregnant. There are mothers who adopted their child. Those who treated the children like their own even though she’s not her mother. Or even an older sister that stood like a mother. A mother that sacrifices a lot. A mother that doesn’t love their child and just uses them for their own benefit. Mother that was forced to conceive a child and end up hating them. And a mother that only sees their child as an insurance for their future.No one really knows how mothers really love their children as they have a different version of how they show it. And sometimes the way they show it is confusing even for their own child. Maybe that’s why there are children that choose to be rebellious
MADISON’S POVAfter that news, the maids and servants took pity on me even more. They stop by more often to talk to me and ask if I’m okay. They greet me with a smile and sometimes they will bring something for me.Usually macaroons and steak flavored candies.The maid that was assigned to Chowie often put him in my room or wherever near me.I don’t find it troublesome, but instead, I am thankful for their efforts. I know that they are just trying to make me better. Although I just usually say a dry ‘thanks’, they are very much appreciated. Gavin also asked me about my opinion of what happened. He was the only one that knew that I really didn’t care what happened to that house. I actually wondered if Lucia got burnt together with the house. If not, then that’s unfortunate..But even after Gavin knowing the fact that my father sold me and used me to pay off his debts, he still observed me very carefully. He’s like trying to see if I really didn’t care.And guess what, I do care, at le
MADISON'S POVEver since I was a kid, I fell in love with the idea of meeting someone that will truly love me and stay by my side. Living and dying together. Through sickness and in health. Just like in wedding vows.A prince charming just like my father that have good looks and wealth so that we can live in a castle. My children would run around as I drink my tea in my garden, just like how my mother is doing. And going out every weekends just what we did way back in the past.I was still unaware of what kind of status and power that my family hold because my mother took care of me without saying that we're more privileged than others. She raised me to be humble but not forgetting that there's no one that could look down on me.That's why I thought that having someone by my side, that will love and stay through everything would be easy. Maybe it's because of my naive mind that I'm expecting that everyone will have an happily ever after, just like how princesses in movies have. That
AUTHOR’S POVLeaving the company early, Gavin was smiling and humming while driving his car home. The smile on his lips never leaves him as he patiently wait for the traffic lights to go green. ‘Will she like this?’He thought as he glanced at the flowers beside him. It was a rare and fragrant flower that he ordered overseas. It only blooms one in decades so it is very expensive that even high ranking officials didn’t know about the existence of these flowers. Gavin remembered how the flowers that were delivered in the hospital impacted Madison’s actions. Seeing his wife being in daze every time that he’s visiting saddens him. He remembers how energetic she was even though she sleeps for a day or two on normal days. He misses how they tease each other and how she smiles at him. Her smile means a lot to him and he just realized that he wants to see that smile everyday for the rest of his life. But the image of her smile turned to the memories when she cried. ‘I won’t let that hap
JASMINE’S POVAfter I ate the desserts that Mr. Lee brought me, and I left my Dad’s office. I really like Mr. Lee. He always prepares it in advance every time he knows that I’ll be coming over. Maybe he knew that I’d be upset.Well, he's been with us ever since he was a kid so we basically grew up together even though we’re not really close.“Please be careful, young lady.”Mr. Lee said as he opened the elevator for me. I smiled at him and uttered a ‘Thank you’ before the elevator doors closed. But something new shocked me. When the elevator was about to close, I saw Mr. Lee let out a small smile, which was very, very rare. He’s not really an expressive person. Even though we both had entrepreneur lessons together, I never saw him smile although we’re basically like together all day, everyday, before.I was in daze by Mr. Lee’s smile. Am I overreacting? Yes. Maybe I am but what can I do? It really is shocking. I sighed and looked at my wrist watch. It’s already 4pm and I still got n
MADISON’S POVOnce again, the area filled with silence. The only thing I could hear was the singing birds and dancing trees. Leaves fluttering and rolling on the ground. The atmosphere became heavy as the old man beside me was just looking at me. I feel awkward with the sudden silence as well with his stares. I feel like it has gotten cold all of the sudden even if I can feel the sunlight on my skin. It’s not right but… did Gavin take his weirdness from this old man beside me? He looks so much of Gavin that I might think that it was Gavin that I’m talking to. Even his eyes that were looking at me, feels like he can see through my mind. Just like Gavin…Thinking of Gavin and our relationship…Is it right to ask this kind question to this old man? The old man beside me stayed silent for a while. I feel like I’m asking a dangerous question that can shorten my life if I make another move. But that thought was probably because of what I have heard and read from the Morgan siblings. Beca
