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
Adrian's POVIt's been days since Xavier dragged both Madison and Ryan out of my house and I haven't heard from any of them.Madison, Xavier, and Anita's phone has been off for some days now. I went to Xavier's home and it was locked."Where are you going, all dressed up?" Leon asked Lexie, which brought my attention to Lexie."I'm stopping by the hospital, Xavier has been in critical condition and isn't responding to treatment," Lexie arranged her hair looking at her phone.Xavier has been in critical condition, no wonder I wasn't able to get him."What about Madison?" I asked the first question that came to mind."Ooooo, She is taking care of Xavier obviously," Leon teased and I rolled my eyes not caring about whatever Leon was saying.Leon was teasing Lexie when the security man entered the living room with two packages in his hands."A package Miss Lexie and Mr Adrian from Ivan," the security man handed us our serval packages and I thanked him for why Lexie rushed to the security
Madison's POV"Adrian, what do you want to talk about?" I turned to face him and he looked serious."It's hmmm," while Adrian was contemplating on what to say and I had to say what was on my mind."Xavier knows about that night in Hong Kong," I nervously said, playing with the hem of my dress."What night in Hong Kong?" The side of Adrian's lips twitch up into a mischievous smile.Was he kidding me? I was already ashamed of that night and he was here being mischievous and pretending not to understand what I was saying."I was being blackmailed by someone and that's how Xavier found out," I explained."Someone had our sex tape and used it to blackmail only you," Adrian was finally following along with what I was saying.Adrian was never blackmailed, it was only me, whoever was blackmailing me wanted something in return to keep that night in Hong Kong a secret."Only Lexie would benefit from all these," Adrian muttered under his breath."Do you have anyone in mind?" I asked Adrian when
Xavier's POVI sat on the chair in my ward waiting for Adrian after pleading with Madison to let me pay for my mother's sin, Madison said Adrian wanted to see me."Hey man, how's your health?" Adrian put the drink he brought on top of the fridge when he entered my ward.I smiled but the smile faded when I remembered Adrian was the father of I and Madison's kids."You wanted to see me, why?" I went straight to the point, this wasn't the time to be friendly.I gestured for Adrian to take the seat opposite me, "Yes, I wanted to discuss something with you.""Sure, go ahead," I turned on the Air conditioner."It's about you and Lexie's engagement," Adrian began. I think I knew where this was heading but I didn't interfere in case I was wrong."What about me and Lexie's engagement?" I asked instead of jumping to conclusions."You have been dating Madison for the past few years now and were engaged to my sister Lexie?" Adrian's voice kept going up by the second, I could see he was trying to
Madison's POVFrom the hallway I could hear both Adrian's and Xavier's voices, it was a playful voice I could hear but more like a fight."Does Madison know?" I heard Adrian yell, I wanted to wait to know what they were talking about but I couldn't, what if they were having a serious fight."Do I know what?" I pushed the door open, the room was in a mess, Adrian had blood on his mouth and nose while Xavier had blood on his hand and hospital gown."What happened here?" I rushed to Xavier and cleaned his hands with a towel, I saw hurt flash through Adrian's eyes."Madi It's nothing, we just had a little disagreement," Xavier rested his head on my shoulder."Yep, that's what happened," Adrian agreed, his tone calm.My eyes darted between the two of them but something didn't feel right, the atmosphere was kinda strange. Maybe they fought because of that night in Hong Kong but right now the atmosphere seems different."What do I know?" I asked the same question I asked earlier when I didn'
Madison's POVRealization dawned on me, Xavier is Ryan's father legally according to the law."So? I also signed Ryan's birth certificate when I recovered," I balled my hands into a fist."You are about to lose that right to fight for custody because," Anita was saying when my phone rang and a smirk appeared on her face, I looked at it and it was Violet calling, "Go ahead and answer it."I picked Violet's call and what she told me was beyond my understanding, I ended the call, tears filled my eyes when I realized the game Anita was playing."I guess you are about to have a criminal record now, good luck on that," Anita smiled, she waved at me.Now I see what Anita smile was about, Sly woman, I will obviously teach her a lesson for doing this to me.I glared at Xavier for not saying anything, "I will come pick him up in the evening," I walked away and Adrian followed."Let me give you a ride," Adrian held my wrist when we both got outside, stopping me from moving."It's okay I will get
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
