2022-01-12 15:03:50I have been thinking about what Gavin said when we had breakfast. It is true that being his wife would benefit me. It would benefit the both of us. I heard that in order for him to inherit the company given to him, he must first get married.
The solution he got is… marry me.
It is true that he doesn’t care who his wife would be as long as they have a good record and won’t interfere in everything he does. I wonder why he doesn’t have any girlfriend… he is handsome…
Ah, right. He is a weirdo that is why.
“The maid said that it is the library. Did I head in the right direction?”
Looking around I saw a big garden outside the window. But one can comprehend that the garden was no longer lively. There are lots of dried leaves and flowers on the ground. I wonder why… it became like this…Ah, let’s not mind about that. Reading books will help me feel refreshed. I wonder if he has many books. He is rich, surely he has a big library… does he?
And there I saw the big door that was placed in the corner of this hallway. Hah, I’ve been walking for a long while, and finally, I am here!Should i ask Gavin- no, I mean Mr. Weirdo Morgan to give me a bike roller board? Skate rollers? Hmm, I wonder what would be much convenient… ah anything would do as long as I won’t have to walk like this! I would surely die if I went back and forth in the library and my room.
Creek
That sound echoed as I open the door. Eh? That sounds… scary.
Even so, if it is for a good book… fighting!
I head inside and didn’t close the door. It would be really spooky to hear that sound again.
“Ah, where is the light's button? I have to… find it… to… make the lights open!”
I shouted in frustration as I can’t find where the button of the light is. To my surprise, the lights turn open.
“Eh??”
The light was off a while ago…
Wait…
‘Ah, where is the light's button? I have to… find it… to… make the lights open!’
I did say that to make the lights open just a while ago… does it.. work in voice command?!??!?!
“Turn the light off"
And just as I said, the lights turn off.
“Lights open"
I giggled in excitement and admiration. How amazing… this is so interesting. There is nothing like this in that place… how… amazing…Putting my hand on my lips, I can’t help but smile. After admiring such technology, I now saw how beautifully nice the library is.
If I am amazed by how the library’s lights turned open and shut with voice command… the place itself will surely make one mesmerized.
It was vintage! The lights too! It was a chandelier yet the style is like the same with the candle stand. Are they the same brand?
As I went inside, there is a large red carpet in the center. A soft and comfortable vintage sofa and… low table…
I can't help but smile. This place… I like this.
“There is also a second floor?”
I mumbled to myself as I saw a stair on the left side of the place.Should… I start reading books? Surely there is no restriction in this library right? Maybe it is good to read for a while.
I head to the corner part of the library. Most of the treasures are finely hidden. I always find it difficult to resist finishing a book once started it. Maybe that is the reason why I have no problem in communicating even if I don’t talk to people much.‘This Time I Will Not Love You'
This novel sounds so hurting. I think I won’t be interested in this since I have no love life or whatsoever.
‘To The World I Wish…’
‘Reckoning Love…’‘Mystery Caller'‘Untold Secrets…’‘Unfolding Secrets…’JUST WHY THE HELL DOES IT SOUNDS SO SPOOKY?!?!?
“Alright let’s look for other books to read...”I tried to calm myself just to not let me feel the spookiness in the titles of the books I saw. A very interesting book caught my attention. Unlike the others, it was… handwritten.
Wait… is this a… journal? A diary… maybe?
‘A life with a Killer'
My eye froze as soon as I read the title of the book. It was… indeed a Diary. But why does it looks so exactly like a format of a novel?
My head frowns in confusion. Why is there a novel like this? It… sounds interesting but… should I read this? The fact that there are many books in this library, I can say that he just randomly asked books to fill this place…“D. M"
Hmm? That is the letter that is written in every last part of the page. It was cursive.
“Should I… read this?”
I was hesitant whether or not I should read this journal bit then… I find it hard to put it back. It was as if some force is telling me to read it.
“Alright…”
Madison, bring it on! Let’s read this book!
The front page was a purely simple note for the title. There was no acknowledgment or any author's note.
“That is weird…”
Looking at the floor, it looks clean. It won’t be bad to sit on the floor. There is also no dust left laying on it.
“Alright… I shall start reading you"
I let myself be dissolved in the world that the book has to offer for me. With a great terror in the very first part of it, I closed my eyes.
“When you see the sky, shall you say goodbye~”
“When you see the wave, Shall the sails go by~”
“If you feel the wind, as you walk so long~”
“Will you look at me, as I sing… a song…”
My heart started to calm down. Hah, Singing really is… nice. I wonder if mom has a good voice too. She never sing a song for me… surely I didn’t get this talent from that old man. His singing is terrible.
I giggled in my thoughts. Mom, singing for me… my smile suddenly fades as I remember everything.
Ah, right. She left…With me staring at the book I am holding, a hand suddenly grabs my arm."Wait, what are you doing??!" I semi shout as I was surprised by the fact that someone grabs my arm.
I am alone in here a while ago. Who would have thought that someone will suddenly appear to grab me?
"Sing it again"I heard Gavin say those words. His hold in my arm are so tight that it made me stand up. Why is he here?!"What??"
His facial reaction didn't change."I was sleeping upstairs and then you disturb me. Now, sing that song again"
"Why do you want me to?"
Okay? He really looks like a weirdo now. Ouch, that hurts...He didn't respond to me and waited for me to sing.
Is he really that caught up in my song?
Alright, maybe it won't hurt. I'll ask him some favor after. I took a deep breath and started to open my mouth.“When you see the sky, shall you say goodbye~”
“When you see the wave, Shall the sails go by~”
“If you feel the wind, as you walk so long~”
“Will you look at me, as I sing… a song…”
If only I knew what would happen next, I should have never sung that song in front of him.

His eyes are straightly looking into mine. I can feel how deep his breath is. Why is he this close?! "Hey what are you doing?" That is the only thing that I think of to make him stop from doing whatever bad intention he is thinking of doing to me. I unconsciously block his body who's getting closer to mine. I can feel how my hand holds his chest as he tried to corner me into the bookshelf. You can hear how some of the books fall in the ground as I hit it. I tried to grab something that is behind me but to my surprise, it even make me fall. I am not sure whether I should be lucky that he is holding my hands which makes me stay on foot. What is he thinking?? I don't know... My gaze locked in his. Madison keep your cool. Don't get distracted by his face! Surely... he is handsome but... don't! Don't look! Why does he look so much different than he

Defeated, I failed to find that diary.But… I remember that it was here just a while ago. Ahhh, if not for that Gavin… this is all his fault! I walked slightly stumping my steps wanting to release my anger. I feel bad for not finding that diary. While on my way to where my room is, I halted when I saw the chained room.Curiosity creeps inside me.Who would have their door visibly chained? What the hell is in there? It’s not something dangerous, is it? Maybe I can sneak there if I have a chance. That is what I thought but… it would be more scary if I did find something weird on it.I sometimes watch movies like when the protagonist finds a mysterious room inside the killer’s house and ends up having tons of dead bodies in it. Oh, I remember one manhwa about a killer who likes to peel onions so that the smell of the blood will not reek off him. He liked his neighbor who i

“My Family?” I was stunned at his unexpected question. Seriously, did he forget that I don’t regard my father and that Mirranda b*tch as my parents? What family is he saying? Is he an idiot or what? Besides... Are they even qualified to be called a ‘Family’? Especially those mother-daughter b*tch duo who made my life miserable? They started talking down on me. Thinking that they could hurt my feelings. ‘Pathetic. You can’t even do this much?’ ‘Maybe that’s why your mother left you’ ‘What a nuisance’ ‘Why don’t you just die? At least you’ll do something right for once’ Stupid bird brains thought that will hurt me. It didn’t even scratch my heart. They just made it into my nerves and annoyed the hell out of me. Of course, it didn’t stop there. My lovely sister, who was loved by all, acted all pitiful once I fought back. She actually looked stupid than pitiful to me.

I was confused and interested at the same time. Gavin ordered the maids to clean the table and bring out a bottle of wine and some snacks. I waited for him to talk more about this deal he was talking about. He stood up, receiving the bottle of wine and a cart with snacks. He asked them to leave us. “So, you really don’t have a family?” I looked at him as he opened the wine bottle, asking the same question. Why is he asking that so many times? Is he making fun of me? Or… Ah Is he trying to lighten the mood? Because of what happened a while ago? The- The kiss? Oh... I started to smile. &

After a long ride full of thoughts about Gavin being sick, I ended up scolding myself for thinking about him too much. Now, we’re just waiting for our turn to get out. “Don’t be nervous and relax.” He said while fixing his tie. “Well, there is nothing to be nervous about, right?” “Sure. Just be ready to get on stage.” “What? Why?” I asked. He gave me his handsome smile. “Well tonight, my dear, our love will be announced officially. The world will know about the existence of Mrs. Morgan" Huh?! I was about to ask what he was talking about when the door of our car opened and the next thing I knew was that I was being escorted by Gavin inside the event hall. As soon as we entered, most of their attention went to us and I can't help but feel like my knees will soon break down. I didn't know that Gavin it. Well... yes, he do notice it since he was walking beside me. "I thought I told

“Don’t look.” I was shocked when the person covered my eyes and asked me not to look. Right now, I wasn't sure of what to feel. I heard something crashing. A glass falling and shattering apart. Now, it makes me wonder what it is. Still, how weird of me to not be afraid about this person covering my eyes. I wonder why my body just let him. Is he someone familiar? I can hear people’s gasp and ladies’ screams as if they saw something terrifying. Is this person trying to cover my eyes so that I won’t see it? “How awful!” “Who on the earth is that guy?!” “Oh my god!” "Blood!" And yes, some even shouted blood. Is it that brutal? Was it a crime? Did this person really cover my eyes so I won’t see it? How considerate but…. It was somehow familiar. This pattern... this way of covering my eyes... I can't help but remember him

“Are you… Are you Jordan Dein?” I asked. But seconds passed, I didn’t hear a single reply. Am I wrong? There are many possibilities anyway. It may be some random stranger who wanted to protect my mind. But if so, why me of all people, right? Only few people knew about my past trauma and the what if’s making me confused. Maybe it is because I am wishing that it’s him. Damn... It is not that... Well... it’s not that I’m expecting, but still... I would be really shock if he is still alive. Indeed, I do have a grudge about him. I... hate him for leaving me. I hate him for idolizing my mom to much that the very moment she is gone... he did the same. I miss him, of course. I wanna see him, for sure. I really want to see him and punch him in the face for breaking our promises. But... I already know and accept the fact that there is still a long way for that to happen.

W-Wha... I stopped what I am thinking as I realize what Gavin said. Luckily, my face was covered with Gavin's broad shoulder. My eyes widened as I felt something in my stomach. I felt hot all of the sudden and felt my cheeks flush. What the.. Is he being sincere? I didn't know he's this sweet. Hehe. I smiled while inhaling his mint- wait what? What am I doing? Of course it's an act! What the hell Maddison? I mentally facepalm. Why am I getting carried away? So stupid. Shit I calm myself before breaking the hug. My hands went to his shoulders, trying to break free but... "Ah." I froze when Gavin moaned. What? Huh? What was that? The smell that I've been wondering for a long while turns more stronger. As I retreated, I saw my hands stained with blood. Looking terrified, I look at Gavin then his shoulders. "Oh my... Gavin, are you okay?" I fo

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

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
