Madison's POVOn my file there was nothing much except the things I was told with evidence, pictures from the accident scene were attached to my file, my file showed I had APS and all the therapy and medications I had were on the file, dropped it and picked up my kids' files.As I swiped pages there was nothing much, I checked the date, the date Violet claimed Layana had surgery and the date the hospital wrote on Layana's file were completely different and on the hospital file Layana never had surgery.I wanted to believe the result wasn't fabricated but how could I? The report only said Layana died from breathing complications she suffered from my accident.Tears rolled down my cheeks, my throat began to hurt as my chest tightened in my rib cage, and I found myself unable to breathe, I gasped for air as I closed Layana's file and dropped it on the table.I picked up Ryan's file some minutes after I was able to recover myself and there was nothing, that was when I became sure that the
Madison's POVI arrived at Adrian's Empire with a cup of coffee in my hands for Adrian, Adrian had given me some time off to sort out my problem.I knocked on his door gently before entering the office, Adrian was sitting on his sharing scolding Leon who was standing."I will come back later," I said awkwardly and turned to leave."Don't worry, stay, I was about to leave," Leon said, grinding his teeth together. I could hear the anger in his voice."Make sure you finish it and give the report before the day ends," Adrian said to Leon before he gestured for me to take the seat opposite him."Sure," Leon said, "Can't believe I am doing her work," Leon said in a low tone when passing by my side but I heard him.I bit my lip and lowered my gaze feeling guilty and sat on the chair opposite Adrian."Did you figure it out?" Adrian asked, looking at something on his computer."Coffee?" I handed him the coffee I brought for him."No thanks, I already had one in the morning," Adrian smiled with
Madison's POVI turned around in circles looking for the unknown person who had given me the piece of paper but he was nowhere in sight.Without thinking too much I booked a cab and went back home. When I got home I tried opening the door but my hands were shaking and couldn't turn the key. Violet opened the door from the inside and I fell on her body."Madison are you okay?" Violet held me in her arms, "Ryan, please pass me the water bottle next to you," Violet instructed Ryan and he came down from the chair and gave her the water, Violet put the bottle in my mouth and made me drink from it."Is mummy okay?" Ryan used his hands to feel my pulse, not as if he knew what he was doing but it was what he always saw Xavier doing.I chuckled at his gesture, "Mummy is fine, mummy is just tired.""Ryan, go use the TV in my room, mummy and I want to have a conversation," Violet instructed Ryan."What's con..con..con," Violet and I burst into laughter when we both realized Ryan was trying so ha
Madison's POVI was disgusted by Xavier's presence around me and I had no choice but to pretend not to know anything until I summoned the courage to confront him.I had cried the whole night after the conversation with Ivan, my heart was heavy with guilt for not being able to protect my children, and what Ivan whispered in my ears still haunts me.Xavier put his hand on my thigh while using his other hand to drive, I turned to look at him and shifted my leg making his hand fall off to the chair."Are you okay?" Xavier glanced at me before focusing his attention on the road.I rolled my eyes, "Yes, why?" I clenched my teeth."Your eyes look swollen, so I was just worried," Xavier said calmly, his eyes showing concern.I glanced at him with the side of my eyes and bit the inside of my mouth as tears threatened to fall from my eyes, "Yes I am fine, it's nothing to worry about."I wonder why Adrian had invited Xavier, Ryan, and e for lunch, I had a feeling he was up to something. It's bee
Xavier's POVMy mind was blank as fuck as I walked to Lexie's room, my heart was in denial but my head was showing me evidence, I knew that safe wasn't broken but I wanted to believe it was."What was that about!" Lexie yelled the moment I opened the door."What?" I entered the room and shut the door behind me."You fucking know what I'm talking about," Lexie pointed her finger at me."Explain, so I know exactly what you are on about," I sat on Lexie's bed, I wanted to be sure we had the same thing in mind so I won't say what I wasn't suppose to say or what she has no clue about."Is Ryan Adrian's child? Was Layana Adrian's child?" Lexie whispered, I stared at her before I burst into laughter."What…what nonsense are you spewing?" I held my tummy pretending to control my fake and forced laughter but I couldn't deny the fact that they might be Adrian's kids but how is that possible?"Ryan and Layana can't be Adrian's child, it just can't be," Lexie pulled on her hair with her right han
Madison's POVI sat in the living room anxiously waiting for Xavier, I wondered what they might be talking about.Adrian sat beside me and handed me a glass of water, "You shouldn't have done that to get information out of me, you could have killed me.""I'm sorry but if I didn't do that would you have given me the information I wanted?" I handed the empty glass to him.Adrian kept quiet for some time before saying, "No I wouldn't have," He chuckled."See," I smiled, I picked Ryan from the floor and placed him in my arms."What did you do with the information?" Adrian asked curiously, his gaze fixed on me."Nothing yet for now but I will use it soon," I flashed a half-hearted smile, it was vital information but a painful one too."Let's go," Xavier entered the sitting room, I could clearly see Xavier was angry and Xavier picked Ryan up from my lap into his arms."But you haven't had lunch or anything," Adrian said to Xavier trying to stop him from leaving the house but Xavier glared a
Madison's POV"Of every man on Earth, you choose my best friend to sleep with, you choose Adrian, What the fuck is your problem!" Xavier yelled, all his veins were popping out and I kept quiet watching him yell."Madison, I'm talking to you so answer the Got damn fucking question!" Xavier screamed out of frustration when I didn't give him a reply.I couldn't give him a reply or make any excuses because the sex tape was clear as daylight and there was only one thing I could do now."Why did you do it?" I questioned calmly."Ehn? Am asking you a question and you are spewing nonsense, are you trying to change the topic?" Xavier said, grinding his teeth against each other."Why did you kill my Layana?" I stared blankly at him."Kill your Layana?" Confusion was written on Xavier's face.I balled my hands in fists, my nails digging into the flesh of my palm, "Yes, How could you all be so heartless and remove the heart of a three-year-old for your selfish reason," I tried controlling the tea
Madison's POVMy world came crashing down when I heard a doctor say, "Time of death." "What do you mean time of death?" Mrs. Williams asked.Another doctor looked at her watch before saying, "8:40 PM, Mr. Xavier William came in dead on arrival.""We are sorry for your loss Mrs. Anita Williams," All the doctor and nurses bowed slightly to Xavier's mom as she screamed.I opened the door but their voices were distant, I couldn't hear a thing being said to me, I felt two people hold me by my hands stopping me from getting close to Xavier but I forcefully pushed them away and I didn't even realize when I left Ryan behind.I couldn't lose Xavier, I ran to him, everything was blurry, the injection that was supposed to be injected into him before he was pronounced dead, I picked it up from the table and injected it into his chest.I came to my senses when I received a slap on my cheeks from Xavier's mom, "What are you doing you wrench, are you trying to kill my son again!" Mrs Williams sat o
EpilogueBoth Adrian and Leon ordered a search team to search the whole river, the search had been going on for two days, and yet nothing."Didn't I tell you not to shoot! If you don't bring my wife back, I promise you and your team will lose your job," Adrian's voice broke while speaking to the officer."We found someone!" One of the divers yelled and everyone ran to the site to check who they had found and it was Violet's body.Everyone searched for days but when they couldn't find her, they gave up and held a funeral for both Violet and Madison.Adrian was devastated by the death of his wife Madison, he blamed himself each passing day, and with the help of Leon and Nikki he was able to take care of his children.Jamie kept his promise to Madison and threw Lexie behind bars, Lexie was given 10 years in prison, 2 years community service, and would be out on probation, in the process of all these Lexie lost her medical license while Xavier on the other hand regained his memory, Xavier
Madison's POVI wore a black T-shirt and jeans, I was mourning after all, I packed my hair into a neat bun, and put the gun Kim had given to me on the day she died in the back of my pocket.Someone knocked on my door, Ignored it, but the person still entered, "What do you want?" I asked when I realized it was Jamie, I saw him through the dressing mirror.Jamie sat on the bed, "You didn't say hi to Justin, I'm sure my mother already told you he's your son.""I will when I return, I'm sure Justin knows me as his aunt and your mother as his mother," I scoffed."Yes, you can still build that bond with me, one day he can call you mummy," Jamie smiled at me."Why are you even here?" I kept a straight face."I don't want you to go to my mother," Jamie said, I turned my chair to him."Why?" I raised my eyebrows."I'm scared, I'm scared that if you leave you won't come back again, can't you just stay, I will go instead and talk to my mother," Jamie held my hand in his.I removed my hand from h
Madison's POVI stood motionless as Kim's coffin was being laid to rest on the cold ground, it was a quick and private funeral, not the one to invite business people and all.Tears slipped down my eyes as the ground was being covered up, never had I ever imagined I would bury Kim, the plan was to get her a good life after all the drama Violet was causing.I turned to look at everyone around me, Leon's eyes were red so as others, everyone was crying for a reason.Nikki was crying because of Lucy, Leon, the kids' nanny and I were crying because of Kim, Lexie was crying because of God knows what, Nikki's husband and Jamie were emotionless and Adrian was quiet because he felt guilty and it was his fault."She is no longer with us anymore because of you," Leon spat out bitterly at Adrian and walked out of everyone.I couldn't bear it anymore, my heart was too weak to see it, I ran out of there to my room, I felt hurt because if Kim were to be alive she would have run after me. I sat on the
Madison's POVI used my hands to wipe the blood off my eyes. The smile wiped away from my face as I saw the bullet pass through Kim's head, my eyes widened as Kim's head dropped to the steering wheel and blood began gushing out of her head.My first instinct was to stop the car, I managed to take control of the steering wheel and turned it till the car hit the tree and stopped.I came down from the car, my shaking hands dialed the ambulance number and my family's number, I was scared to touch her, I was scared. What if I touched her and she wouldn't wake up?I sat on the floor and waited for the ambulance, the tears coming out of my eyes refused to stop. Who shot the gun? Was it Violet and her people? Or the police?My family arrived before the ambulance didn't, "Madison, what happened? Why were you crying over the phone?" Leon's voice made me raise my head."What happened? What's Kim doing while you are here crying? What's all this blood?" Leon asked, feeling alert."Where is Lucy?"
Madison's POV"I want you to stay low until I arrive, no matter what happens today, make sure you save Lucy," I said to Kim the moment we arrived at our destination.The location Violet had given to me was a deserted area, with only uncompleted buildings and a cliff. I wondered why she chose this location.I came down from the car, with the gun behind my trouser, I waited for Violet to arrive and when she did, she arrived with hefty men."I thought we said no companies!" I yelled when she was approaching so she could hear me."That's for you not me," Violet stood in front of me with a smile on her face, "I have missed you.""Jail seemed to have been treating you right, why did you leave?" I remarked, I felt disgusted by being in her presence."Just needed a bit of fresh air and I missed your face, especially your eyes," Violet smiled and I laughed."Missed my face?" The laugh faded when I looked around her and realized Lucy wasn't with her, "Where is Lucy?"Violet looked around us, "S
Madison's POVIt's been almost a week and still no news of Violet and Lucy, the cops put out so many searches but nothing."Are you telling me that you can't find my child," My heart was heavy and I was lost as I rested on the kids' nanny."Please find her, please," Nikki pleaded with the cops."Ma'am we are trying our very best and we hope the result will soon surface," The cop lowered his gaze."Your best isn't enough!" Nikki yelled at the cops, "I'm dying every day and all you have been doing is nothing!"I got up from the nanny and went to kneel in front of Lexie, "Please, give me my child, please tell her to give me my child," I held Lexie's legs with my hands as I shed tears.Lexie forcefully removed her legs from my hands, "I don't know what you are talking about, why do you keep doing this? I don't know anything for crying out loud.""Please, Please, please she is just a child," I was pleading when Kim handed me my phone which was ringing, I took it from her to see that it was
Madison's POVThe sound of my phone falling to the ground brought me to reality, "How did she escape?" Adrian questioned."I have been talking to you, how did Violet escape?" Adrian asked again."She cut her wrist and was rushed to the hospital, on getting there the police left her for a second by the time they came back, she was gone and the nurse on duty was dead," I explained to them what the inspector told me over the phone."She killed a person, Violet must be on the wanted list by now," Adrian sat back on the chair with his hands on his head, "What do we do now?""What if she is with Lucy?" Nikki's husband said out of nowhere."No, it's not possible," I didn't think it was possible for Violet to take Lucy, how would she have even done it?"It's possible, matter of fact, it's very possible, I found it suspicious that twenty minutes and more footage were deleted, nobody except the members of the house has such access and Mrs Lexie left the living room for quite sometime now and ha
Madison's POVIt's the second day now and Nikki is yet to provide any evidence, I was scared, I trust her but the circumstances are driving me crazy."Has she not found the evidence?" Adrian used his towel to dry his hair."She will," I sat up on the bed and checked the wall clock for the time, "The day isn't over yet.""When it's over, I will lock her up for kidnapping and emotional damage," Adrian dropped the towel and put on his clothes."Excuse me? You will lock my sister up for what?" I glared at Adrian, "You will do no such thing.""I have the right, we are talking about our children," Adrian picked up his phone, checked something on it, and dropped it down.I scoffed, "Our children?" I held back the laugh that almost escaped my lips, "Really? For five years, for five fucking years Adrian, where were you!"It felt like I had had this anger for a long time, speaking out like this made my heart feel free."We both know I didn't know about it," Adrian said through gritted teeth."I
Madison's POVEveryone waited patiently for Lexie, Nikki and I to open up the package. Lexie's face turned pale when she opened her package, Nikki was shocked more like scared when she opened her package, what was theirs about?I opened my package and it was a sealed document, I tore the seal away to read what was inside, and I read it out loud."Children are a blessing and the ones you have been looking for are finally around you, way closer than you think, a sibling is a blessing but also a worst nightmare, there are two things, one is a secret unknown to you but known to two others," I read the letter attached to it. I was about to read the documents when Nikki snatched them away from my hands, her eyes scanned through them before tearing them up."What madness is this!" I yelled at Nikki, and relief washed over Lexie's face."I will let you when the time is right," Nikki said with the paper behind her, "What kind of games are you playing? Didn't I tell you, you are in the same sho
