MADAME BROWNE'S POV

I paced towards it— the frame.

Even after decades of death, he still looked just as dashing as the man I once called mine. His green eyes stared back at mine and burned a hole in my chest.

I fiddled lightly, tilting my head in the direction of the door sharply. No one was supposed to come in here. The soft silence in the room braced the erratic beatings of my heart in my chest as I turned my gaze back at the figure of the frame.

My fingers leaped forward quite effortlessly, it's tips gripping the wooden edges of the frame. I felt the hollow feeling that soared through my chest on most occasions.

The man in the picture was gone.

The last memory I had of him was when Lucas ran his bullets into his chest. I watched him bleed away, alongside that slut, Mary, his wife.

She was the one that took him away from me. I'd always loved David with all my heart but after we severed the bond at the end of college, I felt jealous ever since.

  • Mommy, I've found daddy.   CHAPTER 201

    MADAME BROWNE'S POV “Madame Browne!” I heard a series of voices calling my name.My breath hitched in my chest at the sound as I turned my gaze steely to the direction the sound came from? Who was that?I arched my back sharply, clenching both my jaw and my fists as my grip on the frame tightened. I paced towards the door to my room, my heart racing erratically in my chest.Once I arrived at the door frame, I stared into the circular glass that enabled me to see who was approaching the room. Despite the glass lenses being dusty and blurry, I could still make out some of the figured of the people approaching the door.They were males— tall and heavily built.I tried to shift my eyes to other details that could help but there was nothing— nothing other than the blurry uniform they had on. I recognized it immediately, it was that of Jason's men.They were exactly the ones I had sent to deflate the tires to all of Xavier's cars. Why were they back?Worry seared into my blood as I swallow

  • Mommy, I've found daddy.   CHAPTER 202

    MADAME BROWNE'S POV “How fast can you cook up a scandal?” I asked, my voice calm yet rising. The silence that followed my voice was ravishing the glimmers of impatience that seared into my veins whenever I thought of watching several media houses cook up false lies to the public about Xavier.I wanted them all to tag him as a scumbag, someone who cheated on his wife. This was going to be the best punishment for someone who had the audacity to openly insult my husband in front of the board of directors.I bet Lucas would enjoy it too. I clenched my jaw softly, trying to hold back the content that came from just thinking about getting revenge. This was definitely going to be worth every second I put in it.My gaze shifted over to the red wine that was in my glass cup. It had go e down and was due for a refill but I wouldn't do that just yet.I had to confirm from the lady standing in front of me first. She had everythingI had listed to the agency. They scouted the perfect fit for the

    MADAME BROWNE'S POV “I forgot to ask, what is your name?” My voice echoed against the walls of the room, sending shivers down not just my spine but hers also. I moved my gaze to the figure standing in front of me.The soft golden hues of lights hung over her slim features. I watched her run her finger into my hair as if caressing it slowly before finally speaking, “It's Rochelle.”“Rochelle,” I repeated, nodding slowly. I stared at her for a second in admiration. She had just everything that was needed for the role.It would all be more than enough to ruin Xavier's reputation so that once it's Lucas's turn in the 21 days challenge, he wouldn't have to do much. I figured that out along the way. The mind of most humans worked with a certain logic and if you could crack it, you could as well rule over them.The plan was simple. Once Xavier's reputation is ruined in front of the board of directors, they will immediately vote for Lucas knowing fully he isn't really fitted for the role

    XAVIER'S POV I woke up early the next morning to the soft brush of Ella's fingers on my face. I opened my eyes slowly, a yawn tearing out of my lips.I stretched my arms disorientedly as I reached forward to grip her head. “How was your night?” Her voice was warm as I raised my back from the bed and placed a kiss on her forehead.She smiled softly. Seeing her smile made me feel so happy and filled with support. I brushed off loose strands of her hair with my fingers and fixed them to the back of her ears.“You look beautiful today darling,” I complemented, admiring her for a moment before I got up from the bed.“Thank you, hearing your complements make my heart flutter with joy.” She said and I smiled as I flexed my muscles.“What's the time now?” I asked, my breaths coming out in ragged puffs.“Relax, I woke up up early so you could meet up earliest with the second day at the office. I wouldn't want any Madame Browne scheme to stand in the way of you getting there early.” Ella remar

    XAVIER'S POV “What are we going to do now sir?” My driver asked. “I don't still know yet, can't you double check. How can all the cars have they're tires deflated that is just impossible.” I countered, frustration steaming in my veins.I shifted my gaze over to the fleet of cars in the parking lot. They were all over a hundred and something and yet somehow, they're tires had been deflated.There was none I could use. My fists clenched instinctively and my heartbeat increased erratically. I couldn't let this happen. This was part of her antiques.Madame Browne.This was probably part of another one of her sick games.“I have an important meeting I must not miss, it's really important. I don't still understand how all the tires were suddenly deflated who could be behind it?” I ranted, even though I knew fully well it was all Madame Browne's handiwork.She was the mastermind behind all of this.She orchestrated this pull just to delay me and make me go late to the meeting with the sha

  • Mommy, I've found daddy.   CHAPTER 206

    XAVIER'S POV My heart leaped in my chest the instant I heard my driver had found a car that the tires weren't deflated. I flashed a glance at Madame Browne, her eyes were bright with shock and confusion.“Are you shocked Madame Browne?” I asked, my voice sharp. I heard a low grunt slip out of her lips as she Immediately fized her expression, her lips pressing into a tight line.“No, if anything I am happy for you. After all, you can still get to the office within 1hour.” Her tone dripped of clear, direct sarcasm.I fiddled slightly and turned in the direction of my driver. “Take me there I need to first check up on it to be sure.” I said and he led the way to where the car was parked.I followed my driver into the rows of cars, eyeing each and every one of their tires. Like he said, they were all deflated and weren't able to be driven. I strolled past the rows with a nerving sensation lingering in my chest.I clenched my fists to my sides and dug my fingers into my flesh. My breaths

  • Mommy, I've found daddy.   CHAPTER 207

    XAVIER'S POVAfter what felt like an eternity, I opened my lips with short breaths rolling out. I clenched my fists and eyed the car one last time.The bright red color of the car glistened hauntingly, shining like something cut out from a expensive antique collection magazine. “So what do you say, Xavier?” Madame Browne's voice sliced through the fog of tension that encircled me. My fists tightened even more as I released a low grumble feeling emotions that burned me hard in the chest.I remembered each and every words of the president the time he told me about my parents. I dreaded the car so much I had the president place it among his fleet of antique collection at the back row of the parking lot just so I wouldn't be able to see it.I felt my body release a spasm of pain upon the numbing mockery in her voice. I gulped, sweats cascading down my jaw as I felt the air running through my throat grow thin with each whiff.I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to bring myself to say so

  • Mommy, I've found daddy.   CHAPTER 208

    XAVIER'S POV I strolled into the elevator feeling the weight of Alex's gaze on me. After stepping in, the doors pulled closed slowly and I caught the glimmers of fear that bubbled up in his eyes.I could sense his doubts and worry from where I stood but I ignored it either way. I had to get one last thing done, I had to get to the conference room and make sure my uncle was pulling any tricks.I hummed through the rest of the ride and as soon as the door chimed open, I paced into the hallway. My chest heaved lightly as I wiped off the droplets of sweats that clung to my forehead.From afar, I could already hear the soft chattering of distant voices. Some were thick like that of mens and the others were soft and sultry like that of the females.They were all mingling casually, greeting each other with warm voices and soft giggles. I was about taking the last step to towards the door when I heard it.A voice.A knot formed in my stomach as I paused in my tracks, listening closely.The v

  • Mommy, I've found daddy.   CHAPTER 283

    MADAME BROWNE'S POV After Lucas hung up on me, I was halfway through changing my dress and taking a rose bath when my phone rang. With my fingers wrapped around the doorknob, I paused slowly as my phone's haunting ringing tone sliced through the air.My senses furrowed as I turned in the direction of my bed where utvs lying and I arched my brow in confusion. “Who could that be?” I asked no one in particular as I released my grip on the doorknob and squinted off in the direction of my bed. From where I was, I tried to catch a glimpse of the caller id displayed on my phone but the privacy screen didn't allow that. I reached for it and as my deft fingers brushed against its texture, I took a deep sigh before turning it on.In all sincerity, I wasn't sure what to expect. It could either be that Lucas’s brain has just snapped back into his head and he had hurriedly called me back or it was something else.Something totally different.Tension blended in sleekly with my expression as I flu

  • Mommy, I've found daddy.   CHAPTER 282

    LUCAS’S POVWhen Madame Browne's call came in, I was halfway through getting my dick sucked by two prostitutes. The ringing sound of my phone cleared through the fog of sexual tension between the ladies as one of them slid closer to me. Her fingers stroked my hair as she pulled me in for a kiss while the other trailed her finger over my trousers.“Mmm…” A blasting shot of adrenaline surged down my veins as I ignored my phone's ringing as I concluded it was regarding a business deal or from my workers. I never expected it to be from her. Madame Browne.I waited patiently for the call to end before I pulled out of the kiss and turned to the stripper rubbing her hands over my groin. The instant our eyes met, my deft fingers gripped her neck as I watched her stifle a gasp. Her lids pulled close as I pulled her up slowly to kiss her roughly.Her tongue clicked at the roof of my mouth as the strawberry sweetness of her lipstick raked down my throat as I deepened the kiss even more. While

  • Mommy, I've found daddy.   CHAPTER 281

    MADAME BROWNE'S POV As I raced down the hallways, the heavy thudding sound of my heart thumping against my chest clouded my senses. My breaths came out in ragged, fractured puffs as I paced towards the elevator at the end of the hallway. I took slow strides towards it and when I finally got close enough, my fingers trailed over to the open button and as I pressed it, the doors chimed open.Before I stepped in, I felt a heavy pull from behind as I snapped my head in the direction of the dark hallway and at the president's door. His words repeated in my head and I just couldn't help but clench my fists and sigh.Lucas’s plan was about to go down hill and the fool wasn't aware. My gaze stayed frozen on the door as thoughts pulsed through my mind. Right now, there are only two things I could do. It was either I told him or I kept it to myself.Since he decided to pull me under the rug after all my years of commitment and loyalty to him, I guess that was what he deserved for being a total

  • Mommy, I've found daddy.   CHAPTER 280

    MADAME BROWNE'S POVWhat the hell just happened?Did Lucas just bail on me? Did he, for the first time in a long while, pull me under the rug? Rage rolled into my veins as I nearly froze on the spot. Even now as my fingers shakily perused the hem of my dress, I still couldn't believe he would hide something from me. I used to be the one he confided in, the one he always went to whenever he had a big plan but now…Now he was hiding things from me? How dare he?I first tried to get him to break the full plan to me fully but instead of that, he waved me off skillfully like some god damned fog of smoke. How funny? My fingers stiffened slowly as thoughts started running through my mind.It was obvious there was something else to his plan? He was hiding something?Something dark, dangerous and worse still, something I wasn't aware of.With my face fixed in a frozen smile, I waited patiently until the D.P.O stepped out of the room and was escorted out by the president before I brushed off

  • Mommy, I've found daddy.   CHAPTER 279

    LUCAS'S POV I was in my private quarters when my assistant raced into the room. Her footsteps echoed against the walls of the room and I immediately stopped what I was doing. The stripper whose breast I was fondling raked her gaze against my features as her thin fingers brushed over my shoulders over to my chin as she gripped it lightly.“Spare me a glance, handsome.” Her sickeningly sweet voice rolled into the air in neat, smooth beams as I brushed her fingers off me as I flung my gaze in the direction where my assistant stood.Her tall, lean figure stood out in the room. I wasn't really sure if it was the bright contrast of her red gown or the alcohol but she just stood out. The lights in the room buzzed over her features as I narrowed my gaze slowly.She stood comfortably on 6 inches and clutched a file in her hands. Her dark eyes took in the raucous sights in the room before they shimmered with urgency. She paced towards me slowly with her heels clip-claping against the marbled f

  • Mommy, I've found daddy.   CHAPTER 278

    MR MCKINNEY'S POV After the interrogation was done, I opened the door and stepped in to find the police officer seated casually on the chair opposite Madame. As their eyes shifted over to my figure, I noticed a sudden stifled gasp escaping madame Browne's lips as I paced towards where she was seated.“Is anything the problem?” I asked, my voice warm as I took my seat on the chair beside Madame Browne. Xavier soon stepped into the room and as he walked over to one of the chairs sitting lazily in the room, I shoved my gaze in her direction.Her eyes shimmered with an innocence that seemed to fake to be real. For a normal person, they'd say she was just shaken by the seriousness of the interview but I knew her— in, out. She was like a viper, the moment you take your eyes off her, she rears her head in your direction with her venom riddled fangs and tongue wagging through the air.I tapped my fingers over the clear smooth table as I slowly took my eyes away from her. I moved it over to t

  • Mommy, I've found daddy.   CHAPTER 277

    MADAME BROWNE'S POV “Is that really you, Lucas?” The words quivered through my pursed lips as I gripped the hem of my dress tightly. My heart raced in my chest as I tightened my fingers grip over the fabric as his voice rang out shortly.Smooth. Low. Grating.Those were the right words to use in placing how it sounded. His voice raked its way into my ears as I stiffened almost immediately. “Yes, I hope you haven't forgotten how much of a powerful figure I am. If I want something, I make sure I get it and right now, I want revenge.”My blood ran cold at the mention of the last word. Revenge. As much as I was the brain behind most of his schemes, I couldn't help but imagine how far he was going to go in getting it. He was like a wild bull.The second its tamer got out of the picture, it'd go rogue on any one that crossed its path. In this case, Lucas was the bull and I was his tamer. Without me in the picture, the McKinney mansion could as well kiss their sanity goodbye because…The to

    MADAME BROWNE.A hot drop of sweat raced down my oily forehead as the police officer took his seat in front of me. “Good day officer.” I greeted him calmly but he ignored me. My heart raced in my chest as I heaved out a sigh.“So, Madame Br—” he paused halfway in his speech just to get a glance of my name on the file in his hand. He was writing my name on a file and as he raised his brow in my direction, I nearly stiffened on the seat as his gaze raked over my features.“It's Browne.. sir.” My lips quivered as I struggled to find the right word to use as the heat of his gaze braced my sides. “Okay, so Mrs Browne.” He muttered as he tilted his head up in my direction and I stiffened on the spot as my breath hitched in my chest.“I have some questions first,” The police officer said and I adjusted my back on the chair. I straightened my spine and dusted off some unseen dust off my laps as I stared right back at her.“What's that?” I mumbled as he glanced back at the file in his hands be

  • Mommy, I've found daddy.   CHAPTER 275

    MADAME BROWNE'S If you thought I wouldn't get this plan through successfully, blink twice. I was almost done hatching this plan. Xavier had fallen. Ella had done the same and even the president that I thought would be a hard nut in the way had already given into my plan leaving me with nothing but full control over their minds.I could now control each and every one of their thoughts. They were all in my firm grip and I wasn't going to let go. At least not now. Not when my plan was reaching its climax and I was about to have the final say— well, Lucas was the one with the final say but still, I was the one who brought the plan to life.I was always the one who brought each and every one of our plans. I mean I was the brain behind each and every one of our plans but this particular was double crossing. Lucas didn't tell me the full details of the other end of the plan and I couldn't help but wonder what that bastard was up to.After he got out of jail, we lost communication and lack o
