AUTHOR’S POVThe room went silent after Madison shouted. The maids that were about to enter turn back and leave the couple. The head maid was shocked at Madison’s outburst and rushed towards her worriedly.“My dear, are you okay?”The head maid asked but Madison was shocked too. She stared at Gavin, who looked shocked the most. His eyes widened, his smiling worried face turned stone before his lips started twitching and looked away, feeling embarrassed. It’s the first time someone shouted at him in front of some people. For a person that has a high status and grew up with a powerful household, Gavin feels odd that someone just shouted at him.“I-I’m sorry.”Madison said as she walked away. The head maid watches her walk away before looking at Gavin. She shook her head and head out of the room.‘Those two need to talk.’She thought as she signed the maid and servants to go outside. Leaving the two of them, Madison reached for the urn and hugged it. ‘Baby… Mommy is so stupid.’Madi
AUTHOR’S POV“Have a nice day, sir.”“Take care sir.”“Please drive safely sir!”Gavin just nods his head as he heads out of his manor. After what happened to them, the maids seemed to have a change of heart and became kind. Gavin didn't pay attention to the change of surroundings, he focused on his wife’s changes. Madison went 360 especially with her attitude. Since Madison, unlike before that was loud and lazy but still active and focused, changes into a quiet and unattentive. Gavin always sees her dozing off while sitting or looking blankly at her ceiling or any blank spaces. Sometimes, he would just look for her and find her at the veranda where they drank hot chocolate. He’s so worried that he has to look at her from time to time since he doesn't know what Madison is thinking at those moments.Working at home is one of the modalities that Gavin thought of doing so that he can observe and take care of his wife all the time, but he left his companies and works empty for a long tim
AUTHOR’S POVThe office went silent. Gavin sighed as he thought that Bennedix is not talking because what he said is true. That he is truly evil.Knowing Bennedix’s personality, Gavin knew that Bennedix would frankly tell him the truth, even though that it’s offensive or hurt his feelings. That’s why Bennedix’s silence only means something, he doesn't know the answer, or he’s thinking that his answer would have an impact on Gavin's state when he is already suffering enough.“What time is the meeting with Mr. Pimentel?”Gavin asked, clearly burying the topic. But Bennedix was just staring at him while his fingers placed in his chin, clearly, he’s thinking. Gavin looked at him questionably. “Gray.”“What?”“You're the color Gray.”“What the hell are you talking about?”Gavin started to feel irritated by Bennedix’s broken statement. He glared at Bennedix but the man just pointed at his face before clicking his tongue.“See? That’s why people think you’re evil even if you’re not really
MADISON’S POVLooking at the saucer that was placed at the table, I couldn’t help but to remember a horrific scene. Maybe it’s because the last thing I saw was the saucer that contained the medicine that made me unconscious before. And the next thing that happened was a nightmare.“My lady? Is there something you need?”My thoughts snapped back to my head as I heard Sylv’s worried, small voice. I looked at her and shook my head as I looked back at the view outside. I’m currently resting inside my room. I just had lunch and now Sylv has been asking me if I want to eat some snacks or sweets.Just like my room in Jordan’s house, my room here could also see the main garden of the manor. Obviously, it is much bigger than Jordan’s garden, but it gives a royal vibe unlike at Jordan’s that was small but looks enchanting. If someone asks what garden I liked the most… of course it’s my garden.“Would you like to have tea, my lady?”Looking at Sylv, she became more attentive towards me and aske
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
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
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
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
