Madison's POV"Change the name of the surgical head to Xavier William and I will take responsibility for anything that happens now in this room" I held Adrian in his hands, holding on to his shirt tightly, "Xavier can't perform that surgery.""Trust Xavier he can do it, just watch and trust the process," Adrian reassured me, I stared in disbelief, Adrian and Xavier didn't look like they were having any disagreement.I know Xavier wants the surgery to go well but he is injured and if anything happens to Ryan I would never be able to forgive him.I watched the process from the screen and each time Xavier's hands shook or any surgical material fell to the ground, my heart immediately cut.I don't think he can do it, it was a surgery of four hours but it's More than four hours now, everyone paused in the room for a second looking at the heart monitor before they began running up and down.I picked the remote control from the table and zoomed in on the heart monitor, "Oh my God," I put my
Madison's POVI ran from the bathroom and opened the door in a rush, "What did you say about Ryan?"Adrian entered the room, "I thought you would never open the door," a playful smile appeared on his face."I asked what you said about Ryan?" I repeated myself not being in the mood to play.Adrian made himself comfortable on my bed while looking around my room, "this is the first time I have been here.""I don't care about that right now, I asked about Ryan," I repeated myself."Oh, the hospital isn't letting me see Ryan's body, Lexie and the other doctors don't seem bothered about Ryan's death and Xavier's arrest," Adrian explained to me and I joined him on the bed."What are you trying to say?" I raised my eyebrows."Lexie loves Ryan like her life depends on his and she doesn't seem bothered about his death, Lexie loves Xavier more than anything and she needs him to get the connection she wants but she doesn't seem bothered that her husband's medical license might be revoked," Adrian
Madison's POV"Who sent this?"Those were the first questions that came to mind when I saw the pictures, I scrolled down to find a video where Lexie was happily feeding Ryan."Is this manipulated?" I pouted at Adrian, tears filled my eyes.I wanted it to be real, I wanted the video to be real and not manipulated.My mind was all over the place, and without thinking my legs carried me to Lexie's office, I entered the office without knocking."I have given you the documents, so you can leave, why are you in my office?" Lexie raised her head from her desk."Ryan, where is Ryan?" I questioned her."What do you mean where is Ryan? Ryan is in the mortuary," Lexie stood up from her chair."Bastard, liar," I said calmly as I lunched at Lexie and dragged her hair, I tugged at it, and Lexie screamed in pain, but she managed to grab my hair.I felt Adrian trying to remove our hands from each other's hair but it wasn't working."Who are you to come into my office to do this!" Lexie yelled as she
Madison's POVI didn't understand why Xavier had sent an address, I just got him released from jail, and I am really having a bad feeling about this.I dressed up in more comfortable clothes, Ryan was sleeping in Adrian's arms peacefully, and Adrian was also sleeping on my bed, I picked up Adrian's car keys from the reading table in my room and left the house quietly.Why does Xavier want to see me at this time of the night? He could have come to the house or maybe he found out something.I arrived at the address, everywhere was quiet and dark, it was chilly air, I tried calling Xavier but his phone was off.I was beginning to get scared on this dark road. Goosebumps began to appear on my skin, and I felt someone come from behind me, I was about to turn around when I felt something hard hit my head. I put my hand on my head to see blood, I felt dizzy as I dropped to the floor.******I didn't know where I was, I could hear laughter and people talking, I struggled to open my eyes but c
Madison's POVI sat at the back of the ambulance, the medic cleaned my wound as I watched the firefighter put off the fire.I was scared, scared Xavier wouldn't make it out of there, he had enough time to come out of the fire with me but he didn't, he pushed me instead."Is he out yet?" I asked one of the medical staff tending to me."Madam, we will find your husband soon," the medical staff replied."He isn't my husband," tears slipped down my eyes."Where is Xavier?" I turned to see Lexie, Violet, Adrian, and Xavier's mom.I had called them the moment the ambulance got here, it was Adrian I called but I guess he called everyone.Lexie looked disorganized, her hair was packed in a messy bun, and she was in her nightwear with no slippers on her feets. Looking at her State, I was scared to even utter a word.Adrian hugged me, "Are you okay? Where is Xavier?"I brought out the necklace Xavier had given to me inside the building and my shaking hands handed it to Lexie, she looked at the n
Madison's POVThree years later"Baby be careful so you won't hurt yourself," I said to the kids.I sat in the garden as I watched Ryan playing tea party with his sisters, Mira and Avira. Mira is both I and Adrian's child while Avira is both Lexie and Xavier's child.Avira is older than Mira with a couple of months, they are still young and I believe their bond will be one of the best. Ryan has been the best brother any sister can ever ask for and he still misses and talks about his Father, Xavier all the time.It's been two years since Xavier's death, and Lexie hasn't been the same, she keeps reliving one day, the same day Xavier died or sometimes she forgets about Xavier and lives her life before she was married but one thing she doesn't forget is Xavier was part of her life and her daughter. Her imagination has taken over her world, she sometimes lives in her own world and we have to live with her in her world with her.while I on the other hand was happily married to Adrian but som
Madison's POV"How could you just let her out of your sight!" Adrian yelled at me in front of the mall security, "If anything happens to her," Adrian warned.I was sitting in the security office accused of stealing while Adrian was yelling at me because I couldn't find Lexie, I closed my eyes when Lexie ran in front of a moving truck, and when I opened it she wasn't there."I didn't let her out of my sight, she ran and I tried to stop her but these people," I tried to explain the situation to Adrian but he wasn't listening."Just pray we find my sister in good condition, else" Adrian handed me his card and paid for the things I hadn't paid for yet."Else what? Why do you keep yelling at me? Lexie is also an adult and can take care of herself," I said Inside my mouth but the Angels weren't on my side because Adrian heard me."What the fuck did you just say? Can you hear yourself? Lexie isn't strong enough to take care of herself and you know it too," Adrian spoke in a low yet threatenin
Madison's POVI looked down at my phone to see the message "Surprise surprise," From that unknown person who was giving us clues three years ago."Are you okay?" Leon asked, staring at my face in confusion.No, I wasn't okay, Lexie just told me about the conversation both Xavier and I had the day he died, was I supposed to believe Xavier came back from the dead?"Yes, I'm fine," I said this instead of saying everything I had in mind to smile, "Adrian, I know Lexie is your sister but just take her for medical help, her husband is dead, you know it's impossible to see the dead.""Madison, I will head to bed, we will talk tomorrow," Adrian said to me, he Bent down and carried a sleeping Lexie in his arm, at this moment my blood began boiling, I will not let Lexie become a problem in my marriage, she was a problem in my life before but I won't tell it happen again."Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow!" I yelled, picked up the flower vase, and threw it on the floor, it broke and shattered everywh
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
