He ran from the moment he get off his car until he reached where Gavin is."Where is she?"He asked as he catches his breathe but Gavin is too much preoccupied to hear or even feel that someone approach him.Jordan, the man that just arrived, stared at him and saw how Gavin's eyes changes. The dangerous lion appearance of Gavin that he saw earlier slowly vanished as a calm cat replaced it.It was a sight for a person who thought of him as a vicious and dangerous individual that can kill him on the spot."My lords."Jordan turn around and saw two policemen approaching them. Stepping aside, he let them go to Gavin, who's involved and present during the incident."My lord, can I have a moment with you?"Gavin looks up and nods his head. The police start asking questions about what happened and how things happened. Gavin answered them
JORDAN'S POV*"Sir, is Miss Madison okay?""Sir, what happened?""Master, are you okay?"The maids that usually took care of Madison immediately came to me and asked those questions.I smiled at them and continue walking towards upstairs. As usual, I didn't immediately come to my room. Everytime I got home, I go to the most warm and comfortable place of this house."Master..."I turned around and saw Nanny following me."I'll tell them to not enter this room for awhile.""Thank you, Nanny."I said as I open the door.The familiar scent of the person I want the most welcome me as I slowly loses my strength.Closing the door, my knees trembled as I slide down.I may act tough but no. I am fragile. I only have one weakness and that weakness is not here anymore. Madison...Madison's scent is lingering in her room. My eyes turned towards the table near the window where she always sat whenever she wants to see the garden.I specifically chose this room for her because it has the most bea
MADISON'S POV*Where am I? Am I dead? Already? But... I'm not ready yet.I'm sitting on a white floor. I don't know where I am but I feel like I've experienced something like this before.When... Ah... Unconsciously, I hugged myself when I started to tremble. Last time I remember was... Froylan.Froylan was beating me up and I'm sitting on a floor with a lot of blood in it.Am I really still in his hands? If so... I do wish it's my time to pass.I don't want to feel pain anymore -"Madison?"I froze when a familiar soft voice came from my back. I turned around to see the soft yet elegant face that I miss the most. She walks towards my side.Thinking that she’ coming towards me, I smiled and stood up as I rushed to hug her. But I frowned when I just passed through her as she continued on walking there.“Madison, why are you crying? Are you hurt?”I heard her say that. Turning around, the surroundings slowly regain some color as I saw myself standing at the gazebo in my mother’s gard
MADISON’S POVI feel like my heart stopped as a surge of emotions suddenly came to me. Annoyance, anger and pain.Those are the emotions that came to me when my eyes landed at Gavin’s face. What is he doing here??It’s not him who I expected to see the moment I opened my eyes. How did he find me? What does he want? Is he here to watch me suffer? Did… did he already know about my pregnancy? What… Why… Is he going to kill me and my child? Who told him that? I know that the doctor won’t tell him just because?My lips trembled as I felt like I’m going to burst into tears. I want to cry. I want to raise my hand and just punch him in his face. I want to blame him for everything that happened to me. I want him to see that I was hurt. And he’s not there. But… will he care? No, Of course he won’t. A man who hurts me won’t care if I’m hurt. He didn’t even care when he wounded me when he threw the vase beside me.I wanted to feel mad but I can’t because of what Gavin looks like. His handsome

His arms are tightly snaked around me but it doesn’t hurt meWhy….Tears formed in my eyes as I didn't know what to say. I’m lost for words. I don’t know what to do. I feel weird. Why do I feel like this? Sad and hurt when I should be feeling anger and disgust with this person?Why is he being like this? Where does he get the audacity to cry when it’s his fault why I’m laying here? When is he the reason why I almost lost my child? It’s all his fucking fault! It is his fault…It should be just his fault..But..It’s also my fault that I fell for him. It’s my fault that I can easily be swayed. That I didn’t learn my lesson and trust so easily. If I didn’t fall for his acts…Those acts that’s all fake.Those acts that swayed me even though I knew it myself that it’s all part of the contract. His kindness,
MADISON’S POVAfter a while, Gavin sat comfortably beside me with his head resting in my head as I sat there motionless wondering what’s with this situation.My head is resting on his shoulder while our hands are locked. How did we become like this? I don’t know how the hell we started going into this position. I just found myself getting comfortable and the next thing I knew was we’re already like this.Sighing, I tried to speak but my throat was too dry.Right… I was thirsty earlier but then I cried…I tried looking at him but his head was too heavy for my weak and exhausted body. I also tried clearing my throat but it’s coarsen.Ahh shit.“G-Gav…”Squeezing his hand a bit, I finally caught his attention. He looks surprised that he suddenly raises his body from leaning and looks at me as he puts his hands on both of my both shoulders.“Is something wrong?”Gavin asked with a worried face. I looked at him weirdly.What’s with him? Why is he acting like this? I just want to ask for
AUTHOR’S POVAfter talking to the doctor, Madison fainted due to stress and lack of strength. The doctors said that it was normal since she just woke up yet she received such devastating news. Gavin stayed with her without taking any break.Madison fainted for half a day and woke up hyperventilating and starting to throw a rampage.Luckily, she calmed down immediately once she realized what she did. Instead, she burst into tears.Gavin, who’s been watching her all this time, clenched his fist. He wants to punch himself for being so careless. He wants to punish himself for being too arrogant to people. Because of his arrogance, Madison left him. And because of his arrogance, Froylan got obsessed with taking him down.And that leads to all of this Madison just cried there. He asked the other people to leave so that they can have a moment together. The doctors and nurses went out of the room as Gavin sat beside her.She’s still crying.Gavin stealthily wiped his tears off his face as h
GAVIN'S POV*Entering my room, I slammed the door shut and threw my phone and bag at my bed then went to my bathroom to wash my face.Fuck. That annoying bastard doesn't know anything about what's happening yet he dared to nag me and talk to me like he still has a right to do so.What I’m doing is useless? What the fuck does he know to say that?! And I don’t need to tell him my plans. I don’t need to answer his calls because he’s a nobody now.He’s just a freeloader who thinks he still has a role in my life.I'm not his son. Even if the world split into two, I won't recognize him as my father.Haa. shit. I need to calm down.Taking off my clothes, I open the shower and feel the coldness in my hand before jumping in it.What do I do now?I feel so frustrated. I know that Madison didn’t really blame me for what happened to them. But now… I don’t know what’s going into her head. I don’t know what to do everytime she cries. I don’t know what to do when she refuses to eat.She won’t even l
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
