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 Alice and Damien make it past this disaster and Can Madison and Hayes finally get to face their feelings after a whole lifetime of suffering?
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.
MADISON’S POV He feels disgusted by me? I exhale softly and open my eyes before closing them again. He should feel disgusted. That way he will stay away from me and he will find it in himself to move on so he can find someone really deserving of him. Someone innocent, pure and kind-hearted. He leans closer and plants his lips on my neck. Soft at first, but then hard like he is reminding himself that he is taking revenge. He sucks and bites all over my neck, leaving purplish marks behind. I bite my lower lip to contain the sounds of pleasure from coming out of my mouth. I am not supposed to feel good by this, I remind myself. His hands trace both my sides, his touch light and feathery. He trails his hands up until he cups my clothed breasts and gives them a hard squeeze. I moan at the feeling, my own hands shooting up to hold his shoulders for support. His thumbs circle my nipples
MADISON POVHe hates me now? That’s new coming form him. It’s hard to believe he can actually hate me.After everything, he just left the room and let me go.This fucking Hayes Christian chapter is closed now, I hope.One day has passed and I am staying at a hotel instead of going to Lincoln Villa. I didn’t go there even once because that place reminds me of the bad memories.I stare out of the window in my hotel’s room and think about everything again.When I started investigating about my father’s death, I got to know that my father took Alice to his forest cabin and then someone set it on fire. On the same day, Alice was admitted to hospital because she had inhaled smoke and her hand was burned. It can not be a coincidence. She knows what happened.After whatever conspired between Alice and my father, my father’s body was found in
MADISON POVI can’t believe it. She still has the audacity to act so innocent.I look away from her, before I smile humourlessly in disbelief.“ What is she saying Damien? ” Alice gasps, grabbing my attention.I look back at her and notice her baffled expressions. Detaching my eyes from her, I glance at Damien who is now glaring at me like I have ruined something for him.“ That’s what you are going to do? Pretend your husband didn’t kill our father? ” I chuckle, shaking my head, disbelief still coursing through my head.“ You know what Alice…” I stop laughing and my expressions turn grave as I address her.“ Just tell me what was your role in all this? ” I take a step forward, my unforgiving eyes switching between both of them.“ Madison. I think you have a misunderstanding. We should sit down and talk it out. ” Alice replies
MADISON’S POVThreatening and challenging Damien Knight Castillo is one thing and really finding the way to Destroy him is entirely another thing. It’s impossible to think of something so good that he won’t be able to stop me.As I think about all ways I can make the police reopen the case, I go to Lincoln Villa finally.I stand outside my magnificent house, staring at it for at least an hour.So beautiful. The place before me, my home…is so so beautiful that it’s impossible to overlook the beauty and dive right into the horrific memories attached to this place.Shaking my head, I make my way inside. Memories whisper to me becoming horrifying voices in my head.Max is waiting for me in the living room. He looks after the house now as a loyal servant like before. I called him earlier and asked him to meet me in the living room so I can talk to him
MADISON'S POVI was back to that place again, my father’s study where he was teaching me how I was supposed to love my friend Damien if I wanted to be at the top.Damien. The one on the top. The heir of the biggest corporation. The most powerful around here.Damien and not Hayes and not anyone else.Just Damien. Damien was the top where I was supposed to reach.I was thinking about it again, the day I forced myself to look at him that way. I was fairly young, only 12 and I already knew that I will make Damien mine. He will be my King and I will be his Queen - the perfect match. No one will be able to come between us and if someone did, I will do what my father taught me. I will step down on the broken neck of the one coming between me and him and I will make it to him.I will always make it to him. To my Damien.But there was another one I could never forget. The complete opposite of us all. The only generous an
MADISON’S POVI am drowning in the blurry, dark water. But I try to stay afloat. My feet kick the water, unable to push me up. My arms flail around helplessly.Water fills my lungs, slowly, inch by inch. I can feel the burn in my body intensifying as I feel my body beginning to give up.‘ You have to win. If you fail, you die. ’ A cold whisper and then I am out of water, gasping desperately for air.I gasp and sit up instantly. My wild eyes move around the white room, trying to recall what has happened.Moving around, my eyes pause on the man sitting on the chair beside me. His face is placed in his palm, his elbow supported on the chair’s arm. His eyes are closed, his breathing even and his hair tousled.I gulp, seeing him sitting there and gradually everything hits my mind.
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
