ALICE'S POV
“ She aborted the baby. ” Mrs Brown revealed to him and my shoulders slumped down.Fear made my heart tremble as Damien's eyes turned colder. He slowly detached his eyes from mine and turned to look at Mrs. Brown.“ Take your daughter and get out of here at once. ” He ordered Mrs Brown who was dumbfounded at the change in his tone.
It was like everyone could now sense how grave the situation was. Damien looked ready to destroy everything and his anger was directed at me.My body was trembling. Shock was slowly seeping in my bones and fear in my heart. My mind was telling me to just run away from here.“ What are you saying Mr. Castillo? ” Mrs Brown smiled awkwardly not understanding what suddenly happened.“ Get. Out. Of. Here. ” He gritted his teeth and hissed at Mrs Brown whose body jolted upSurprisingly, Mrs. BroALICE'S POV “ I. Will. Never. Come. Back. ” He spoke each word slowly, his glossy eyes coming back to rest on mine before he stormed out of there. No. No. He could not just leave after saying all of this to me. He just told me that he loved me and that he divorced Madison and he thought we could have a family and then he just... Left me alone. I wanted to run behind him but my ego held me back. I had never ran behind anyone. I had never asked anyone to stay in my whole life. Tears rolled down my cheeks in waves, as I stood there for the longest time, just staring at the wall in front of me. “ Did he do something Alice? ” Lisa rushed to my side but I was too engrossed in crying, that I could not reply to her.My ears were ringing and I could only hear three words echoing in my mind. I love you. “ Alice! Are you alright? &rdq
ALICE'S POV “ Damien. ” I whispered, all tears drying up in my eyes instantly while his steely grey orbs bore into my eyes. I would never get used to this intense feeling his stares made me feel. “ Alice. ” He whispered back causing my lips to curve up to form a smile. “ What are you doing here? ” He asked raising his eyebrows and I chuckled out. He knew what I was doing here. He just wanted me to say it but I was still the same stubborn type. “ I am enjoying the rain. ” I mocked, pointing behind him as I noticed him holding an umbrella over his head. “ Outside the airpot? ” A smirk came to rest on his lips and I almost threw something at him to wipe that smirk off his lips. “ Outside the airpot. ” I nodded defiantly, not ready to admit what I really came here to do. “ That's exactly what your little friend told me. She said Alice is going to enjoy rain outside the airpot. ” He teased and crouch
ALICE'S POV ~1 YEAR LATER Smooth lace wrapped around my upper body before puffy chiffon draped down from my torso and pooled around me, creating it's very own cushion. I could definitely tell it was one hell of an expensive gown considering the weight that grounded me as well as restrained me from moving around too much. I could not look around much to see how I looked except for looking in the mirror in front of me, but the awed expressions of the women standing all around me told me, that I looked promising. If that shitty man...Shit. I mean Damien refused to get close to me today, I was surely going to murder him with my bare hands. I still could not believe it. After putting the ring on my finger that day, he treated me like some virus infected patient who could not be touched and who was dying as well. He did not let me get near him or did not even touc
ALICE'S POV During the whole photoshoot after the wedding ceremony, Damien was giving me those intense stares that had been wanting to sneak a little away from him. The photographer was too scared of him to ask him to look ahead and not at me. This was cute too. And then at the reception party, Mom handed Dawn over to Damien whose eyes started shining by seeing her. He loved her. He loved her more than life. And my heart swelled up with love and pride whenever I looked at this father and daughter duo. And Dawn... No one should even get me started. When she was born, she started clinging to Damien instantly. She was attached to Damien more than me and I had never seen anything more adorable than this. Damien who never cared about anyone or anything in this world finally cared about me and our daughter Dawn. And me... I always ran then ca

Hey Readers! Back to the book again :) There were some loose ends left untied when this book originally ended and Hayes and Madison's story was left untold. I was originally planning to write a new book for them but then I thought, why not add it in the same book as part 2? Down here is the synopsis for the second part. ______________ Madison Lincoln, the ex – wife of Damien Knight Castillo comes out of her hiding spot after 3 long years. She comes bearing a news – a bad news. The chapter which Alice Knight Castillo, Damien Knight Castillo and Hayes Christian thought they have closed in their lives successfully, is still open to their horror. Jonas Lincoln – Alice and Madison’s psychopathic father is still alive and this time…He wants to take both his daughters away. Chaos erupts for the second time in their lives when all of their dark secrets start coming out one – by – one and they are forced to face the past again. Can Alic
MADISON’S POV Three years. One goal. I have to find out how my father - Jonas Lincoln died three years ago. As time passes, your head gets clear of doubts and confusions and then you notice things you never tried to notice before. Many lies get exposed and many secrets come into light from the dark. Three years ago, I, Madison Lincoln - ex wife of Damien Knight Castillo divorced him because I was broken and tired. My father had died by committing suicide as many said and my ex husband loved someone else. I decided to disappear, leaving everything behind. Money. Power. Prestige. For a month after leaving everything behind, I lived my life travelling the whole world and trying to overcome this empty feeling in my heart. A month of loneliness had caused my situation to turn worse instead of helping me with reclaiming the peace of my mind and then after that month… I
MADISON’S POV“ Hayes! What do you think you are doing? This kidnapping and all…Have you lost your mind? ” I hiss at him, curling my hands into fists to hide the way they are trembling after seeing him.Three years. I spent a long time all alone and it’s hard to face him now. I hate to admit it, but I am not that strong and fierce Madison Lincoln anymore who knew how to get what she wanted. I am just a depressed, scared woman now who wants to get back at her ex-husband for snatching everything away from her.Hayes steps forth and unbuttons his coat, causing my eyes to go wide.“ What - What do you think you are doing? ” I stutter, taking a step back from him.“ I am doing what you wanted me to do from the start. ” He replies calmly, but the anger shining in his eyes tells a different story.I take a step back, my mind going numb for a moment.
HAYESI stare at the peaceful face of the one woman I have loved dearly throughout my life. Her wounded wrists are wrapped in bandages. She had cut so deep that the doctor said it was a miracle she didn’t cut her veins and I am so fucking grateful for this miracle.She fell unconscious due to blood loss and she is still in my bed, unaware of what’s going around her. I cleaned up her body and dressed her in my clothes to make her smell like me. It’s giving me a sense of calm right now. I want her drenched in my scent so I know she is here and she is mine.Damien took care of Max’s body and that chapter has closed. I didn’t wait to see what was happening. I picked up Madison and left earlier. I brought her straight to my house. On the way, I called Ava to fire all the staff. There was no one I trusted around her anymore. I wanted to be alone with her and keep her safe from all dangers.She hisses softly, breaking my chain of thoughts. Instantly, I cup her face and wait for her to open h
MADISONI don’t know what happened. One moment we were on our way to the psychiatrist and the next moment we were driving away from the route. My suspicions rose and I warned the driver that it was not the right way but he turned around, sprayed something on my face and then everything went black.When I woke up, I was already tied to a chair in some shady place and there was this man before me. My father. Again.Before I could scream or consider it my hallucination, he scratched at his neck and pulled some kind of mask from his face.The face I saw under the mask had my breath hitching in my throat.“ Max? ” I was confused.My eyes lowered to his mask and then his face. It clicked in my head. I was never seeing a ghost. I was only seeing a person impersonating that ghost.“ Damien knows. There is no use in pretending. I caught one of his men spying on me. ” He sighs, sulking in the chair opposite me.All the fear subsides, and after three years, I find the old Madison returning. I ch
MADISONI tried everything I possibly could to make Hayes forgive me. I didn’t think I would fall so madly in love with this one man I avoided my whole life. My love towards Hayes was not about his power, his status, his stature…It was all about him—Hayes, the man who loved me unconditionally all my life.This time, I want to do things right. I wouldn’t have pushed him if I didn’t know he still felt the same way about me. He loves me, it’s enough to make me fight for him. I will be the one putting in all the effort while I expect nothing from him—Just him, nothing else.Things are getting better. He listens to me, lets me stay by his side, and allows me to express my love.But there is this one problem between us. I saw my father again last night. The guard at the door said there was no one he saw. I continue to see my father and it keeps reminding me that I found out who murdered him and did absolutely nothing to avenge his death. Not that I want to avenge a monster like him, but I d
HAYESAs I spend time with her, I notice the obvious changes. She clings to me whenever I get home and we end up having sex. She even tries to cook for me but gets kicked out of the kitchen by Ava.She is trying so fucking hard. It’s impossible for me to not feel it deep in my bones.And as I spend more time with her, the old feelings hit me right in the face multiple times. I can’t ignore her. I can never get over her.If she does prove that she wants to be with me, I won’t be letting her leave from here.Alice was delighted to know this when she called me to ask about Madison’s recovery. That girl is dying to play cupid and glue Madison with me at all costs.‘ Your happiness lies with her. Her happiness lies with you. You two shouldn’t hold back. ’ She chirped and hung up on me three days ago.Her words rang in my ears many times because it was not a lie. I like to believe I got over her and lived happily without her, but it’s a big ass lie.I was yearning to see her every day. I wa
MADISONI wake up to find Hayes lying beside me on the bed, his arm draped over my naked stomach and his face pressed into the pillow.My heart beat quickens when the events of yesterday night start playing before my eyes like a movie.He took me wildly. Against the wall. On the bed. It was almost morning when, after multiple orgasms, he let me go and fell asleep beside me.I never knew he had it in him to go on for so long. The only downside of it was that, we exchanged no words. Just the touch and the burn of the intimacy was all we had between us the whole night.I breathe in and realise I stink of his cum by now. It’s oddly satisfying when it’s supposed to be gross.He still loves me. He doesn’t hate me. The thought is overwhelming.I turn to him and stare at his side profile. His hair are all disheveled. My hand reaches out to the messy puddle of hair. I run my fingers along them and comb them back.“ What are you doing? ” His hoarse voice makes me stop and pull my hand back.H
HAYESWhen I get home, I go straight to her room.“ Please. Can you check again? I am sure he was there. ” Her agitated voice falls on my ears.I sigh, stepping inside and taking in the scene before me. Madison is pacing back and forth while Ava is standing in the corner shooting her weirded out looks.“ What’s wrong? ” I question, announcing my arrival.“ Hayes. ” Madison stops pacing and runs to me.Her hand wraps around my wrist, pulling me in forcefully.“ I — I saw him again. He was outside the main gate. He waved at me. ” She stutters.I peer into her wide eyes. I know who she must be talking about even before having her tell me.I glance at Ava, signalling her to leave the room silently.“ Why is she leaving? Send her to check once more. ” Madison leaps forth, trying to stop Ava.I grip her wrist and tug her back. Ava goes out of the room and doesn’t forget to close the door on her way.“ I went to the garden. I — I was standing close to the door and I suddenly heard the same w
HAYESHow am I going to convince her to stay at my house for a few days? Honestly, I know a lot of ways to do that, but I don’t feel generous enough to be polite.“ You are staying with me until you get your head straight. ” I tell her, barging inside her hospital room.She has been here for a few days already and now, it’s time for her to get discharged. I haven’t really cared for her much in the last few days, in fear that she might figure out that I still love her to moon and back — something like that.“ No way. I am not going anywhere with you. ” She barks back, not even sparing me a glance.I take a deep breath and look her over. She is smoothening out the wrinkles on the white dress she is wearing.Against my better judgment, my heart is drawn towards her and it wants me to march right to her and kiss her until the rest of her rational mind dies as well. After having a taste of her and knowing what it feels like to kiss her, to be above her, under her, inside her…I can’t think
HAYES’ POVSomething is not right. My gut are screaming this at me for quite some time.Doctors came and checked up on Madison. Everything is alright with her and she will be discharged in a week or so.She fell asleep right after the doctors left and I have been watching her closely from that time.First of all, she hit herself in the face and then she ended up in the middle of the road, almost killing herself in the way.She has been repeating somethings lately. Someone broke in, I saw my father, something is not right…Things like that.I do agree with her on this. Something is not right, but it’s not what Madison thinks. I think she needs help and she needs a psychologist. But, it will be a real headache to convince her to see one.I breath in and out, my eyes fixed on her swollen eye. I never thought I would ever see Madison like this. She was str
MADISON’S POVEverything is dark around me and it’s like I can still hear the whistle in this darkness.The sound haunts me and it makes me twist in the invisible restraints bounding me to the darkness.I gasp for air and blink my eyes open. Light blinds me and makes me close my eyes again.Everything hurts, even breathing hurts at this point.Forcing myself, I open my eyes once again. The burn in my eyes is sharp, but I am too scared to close my eyes.“ You are awake. ” The familiar voice and the familiar words give me a sense of deja vu.Inhaling deeply, I turn my head a little at him and find Hayes sitting on the chair placed beside the bed.I blink my eyes at him, unable to understand what’s happening for a moment.‘ Dad…’ I hear the whisper of a memory in my mind and my eyes turn wide.He was the
