Madison's POV
I sat on the couch operating my phone and eating cheese balls when Violet barged into our home, she works at a hotel so she is rarely around."Madison are you alright?" Violet asked with concern written all over her face, she picked up a jug and turned water into a cup to drink."Yes, why?" I nodded my head."You look different from the last time I saw you,how long was it?" Violet smiled, gulping from the cup of water."Ohh about two, three, four months ago, I guess it's work stress dealing with me" I chuckled as I continued to eat the snack in my hands.I began to feel restless again, still feeling a bit unsettled. As I got out of the couch, I noticed a lingering sense of nausea. I made my way to the bathroom, Violet rushed after me out of pure concern.Violet looked up as I entered the bathroom, concern etched on her face."Madi, are you feeling any better?" she asked, her voice filled with genuine care.I shook my head, a feeling of unease washing over me once again. "No, Violet. In fact, I'm feeling worse. I think I might be sick."As if on cue, my stomach churned, and I couldn't hold it back any longer. I rushed to the toilet and vomited, my body heaving with the force of it. Violet rushed to my side, holding my hair back and offering words of comfort.After I finished, I sat back, feeling weak and exhausted. The realization struck both of us simultaneously."Could it be...?" Violet started, her voice trailing off."Pregnancy?" I finished, her eyes widening with the realization."no, it's not possible," I laughed brushing it offViolet's concern deepened as she looked at me. "Madi, when was your last period?"my mind raced as I tried to recall the dates."are you trying to mock me? you know Xavier and I stopped having sex way before he cheated," I said feeling downcasted at the thought of Xavier."Madi, just answer the question," "I... I'm not sure. It's been a bit irregular lately. But Violet, " I was explaining when she cut me short."Not Xavier,the guy from the bar, your one night stand." Violet looked into my eyes , my eyes widened upon realization."Just wait here,I will be right back" Violet stood up"Where are you going?" I asked, still feeling extremely weak."To get a pregnancy kit" I nodded my head.As Violet left to fetch a pregnancy test, I remained in the bathroom, my mind racing with a mix of confusion, concern, and a tinge of fear.The reality of the situation sank in deeper as I reflected on the possibility of being pregnant from a one-night stand. The thought of facing such a life-altering event without a clear understanding of what transpired that night added to my anxiety.Minutes ticked by, I anxiously awaited Violet's return. I tried to steady my breathing. The sound of the front door opening snapped me out of my train of thoughts, I heard Violet's hurried footsteps approaching the bathroom.Violet entered the room, holding a pregnancy test kit in her hands. She handed it to me, my tears filled eyes meeting with Violet eyes filled with a mixture of concern and support."Take this test, Madi," Violet said gently, her voice filled with empathy."Let's find out for sure."Nodding in agreement, I took the kit and followed the instructions carefully. As we waited for the results, my mind raced with a thousand thoughts. The test seemed to take an eternity but in reality it was barely two minutes, but finally, the indicator appeared, confirming what I had feared."It's positive," I whispered, my voice filled with a mix of emotions.Violet's eyes filled with tears as she moved closer, wrapping her arms around me in a tight embrace. "We'll figure this out, Madi,I promise,we will," she said softly."We're in this together. I promise, I am here for you."I clung to Violet, finding solace in my best friend's presence. Despite the overwhelming situation, I drew strength from their unwavering bond. Deep down, I knew that with Violet's support, I would find the courage to face the challenges ahead.I woke up with a pounding headache, I didn't even realize or know when I fell asleep. Violet had already prepared dinner, so I joined her at the dining table."How are you feeling?" She asked with concern."Am okay,I guess," I answered. I sat on the table joining her for dinner."You guess?" She asked again."Yep, and have decided" I continued eating my dinner."Decided on what?" Violet chulcked and raised her left eyebrow."I cannot be a single mother and handle my work life at the same time" Violet cut me mid sentence."So? where is this going?" Violet demonstrated with her hands."You didn't let me finish, as I was saying, I am going to get an abortion" I said with certainty."Did I hear you right? an abortion? Have you gone mad or what? " Violet hit her hands on the table out of anger."What do you mean? Am I supposed to keep the child when I don't even know its father" I raised my voice at her.The tension in the room escalated, Violet's anger and frustration were palpable, and her hands trembled as she struggled to compose herself."Madison, I understand that this is a difficult situation, but terminating a pregnancy is a major decision," Violet said, her voice strained with emotion."Have you considered all the options? Have you thought about what this means for you, for the potential life inside you?"My face flushed with frustration."Of course I have, Violet! But I can't just bring a child into this world without knowing anything about its father. It's not fair to me, and it's not fair to the child." I raised my voice at Violet.Violet took a deep breath, attempting to regain her composure."I understand your concerns, Madi. It's a complicated situation, and I can empathize with your perspective. But have you thought about the emotional impact of terminating a pregnancy? It's not an easy decision to make, and it can have long-lasting effects on your well-being."My voice wavered slightly as I responded,"I know it's not an easy decision, Violet, but I also know that I'm not ready to become a mother right now. I have my own dreams, my own goals, and bringing a child into this world without a stable support system just doesn't feel right." I tried to make Violet understand and see things from my perspective.Violet's face softened, and she reached across the table, taking my hands in hers."I want what's best for you, Madi. I want you to be happy and fulfilled. But please, take some time to think about this. Consider all your options, This is a decision that will stay with you for the rest of your life." I redrew my hands from Violet's hands."Have made my decision and it's final""And your decision is wrong" Violet raised her voice a bit higher than before."Who are you to tell me my decision is wrong?" My voice was laced with anger and louder than hers."You know what forget it, I can't argue with you,it's your fucking life" Violet said making me feel alone in the world right this very moment."Yes, that's where you have it right, it's my fucking life and you can't tell me what to do , so stay out of it" I screamed at her, I took the car keys and left the house not caring about her or anything at that very moment.Today, my fate was going to decide whether I keep this child or not but I was so sure I am not coming home with this child in my womb.What do you all think about this chapter? Please let me know
Madison's POVI drove to the hospital drenched in tears because of the fight between me and Violet.Upon arriving at the hospital, I got to the receptionist table and made inquiries, I was directed to a compassionate doctor who listened attentively to my concerns. The doctor conducted a thorough examination and performed additional tests to assess my health before going through with the abortion.To my shock, the results revealed a critical medical condition that would make proceeding with the abortion a life-threatening risk."Doctor Reynold, why can't I have the abortion? I do not understand what you are saying." I asked the doctor who seemed hesitant to talk with me. "Can I speak with your guardian or the baby's daddy?" Dr Reynold asked, looking very concerned."It's just me, doctor, nobody else." I looked down at my hands"Okay, You have Asp" Dr Reynold Said."Dr if I may ask what is that?" I asked now concerned."It is a rare blood clotting disorder known as antiphospholipid syn
Madison's POV"That's him," I said pointing at the tv, Violet looked at me utterly confused."Who?" Violet questioned"Adrian, that's my baby daddy." I revealed."That Adrian?" Violet looked at me as if I was crazy, she paused then burst into laughter."Yes, him," I said more firmly this time around."Girl, quit playing, that right there is Adrian Myles Walker and how can you say he was the one," Violet said, obviously not believing what I was saying."But are you serious?" Violet stood up from the couch looking at me."Yes, I am," I took my seat on the couch.Violet brought out her phone and browsed his picture and showed them to me, "is this him? Like is this the man you spent the night with? Are you sure?""Yes, he is the one and I am sure about it," I said."But you couldn't remember before, how did you suddenly remember him?" Violet asked."When I heard his voice on the TV, especially his laughter, I somehow remembered him joining me outside and the way he laughed was unique," I s
Madison's POVI was confused as to how Violet knew Xavier had an Adrian Empire VIP card because even I can't remember him having it."Xavier has a fucking VIP card," Violet said, I could hear the excitement in her voice."Hmmm?" I asked, confused."I said, Xavier has a VIP card," Violet repeated."How do you know? Even I don't know that," I said, sounding unsure, my brain trying to see if I had ever seen a VIP card with Xavier."The bag, the dinner dress, the shoe, and the entire set of jewelry that Xavier got you for your anniversary, it had a VIP tag on it and those items can only be gotten by a VVIP client," Violet explained."Yes, I knew Xavier was rich but I didn't know if he was that rich," I said."Can you remember how he placed the order?" Violet stood up and walked into my room after some time she came out with the items, they were placed in a VVIP bag.Looking at the bag saddened me, "Too bad he never got to see me where this," I said, my voice low but hurt."Whatever, his lo
Madison's POVI sat in front of the dressing mirror, carefully arranging my makeup, preparing for the meet and greet event. I reluctantly wore the dress and jewelry that Xavier had picked up for me from Adrian's empire. Part of me hesitated, but I knew I had to wear it if I wanted Adrian to notice me."Are you ready?" Violet's voice echoed from the living room. Instead of shouting back, I simply grabbed my bag and made my way to the living room."How do I look?" I nervously inquired, absently scratching my fingers together."Wow, girl! You look stunning," Violet said with a smirk, causing a genuine smile to cross my face."Whatever," I replied, feigning nonchalance. I walked past her and grabbed the car keys from the table."Are you coming?" I raised an eyebrow, trying to hide my smile, then headed to the car, hearing Violet's footsteps close behind me.After a long drive, we finally arrived at the venue. It was a grand, lavishly decorated hall, and the attendees exuded an air of opule
Madison's POV"Oh my God,""Did she just throw up on Adrian?""What an attention seeker,"I could hear people making all sorts of comments, and Adrian just stood there, looking at me with a shocked expression. He opened his mouth, seemingly trying to say something, but then closed it.What do I do now? What should I do? What would Violet have done in this situation?My mind went blank in the face of my own embarrassment. This was one of those moments when I wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole. Without thinking twice, I closed my eyes and dropped to the ground.I silently prayed not to land on the hard floor, and as if the heavens were on my side, I felt myself falling into Adrian's rock-hard chest and strong arms.Damn! I didn't know he was this masculine, fuck that alcohol."Madison!" Violet yelled and ran to me."What's wrong with her, what did you do to her, what did you say to her!" Violet yelled, I could hear her voice break."I didn't do anything," I could feel A
Madison's POV"Xavier?" I managed to choke out, my voice barely a whisper. I couldn't believe I was seeing Xavier or maybe I was in Dreamland or something, reality came crashing in when I heard Violet's voice."Madi are you okay?" Violet stood up and touched my face gently.I grunt in pain waking everyone up, "A bit, my baby?" I looked at her, my eyes pleading to hear good news."Your woman is okay," Adrian got up from the chair, walked towards us, and my eyes broke away from Violet."Thanks man," Xavier got up and gave Adrian a handshake and a brotherly hug."I better get going, I got plan," Adrian smiled slyly."With whom?" Xavier asked suspiciously."My woman," Adrian smiled widened."Is she town now?""Nope going to pick her up from the airport," Adrian clicked his tongue."Alright, let me see you off," they both walked out of the door and I immediately turned to Violet."What happened to me? How is my baby doing? Why did Adrian and Xavier sleep here? Who called Xavier? Does
Madison's POV"I am pregnant," I bent my head waiting for his response but there wasn't any, I raised my head to see him waving at someone from behind me."Xavier?" I called out gently, hoping he had heard what I said but he didn't."Huh?" He looked at me and I shook my head, another failed attempt.The person Xavier was waving at came to our booth and it was no other than Adrian and a tall beautiful model-like lady beside him."Bro!" Xavier and Adrian exchanged greetings and did their brotherly handshake and hug."Lexie, it's been long," Xavier greeted the girl."Yeah right, you refused to come see me in the state," Lexie chulcked, she flirtingly put her manicured nails on Xavier's arm."Lexie, if eyes could kill, would kill you right now," Adrian laughed pointing at me."Who?" Lexie pointed at me like she didn't see me earlier."Xavier's baby mama," Adrian said and my head immediately snapped so hard to look at him.Before anyone could say anything I quickly introduced myself, "I am
Madison's POV5 years later.Today makes it five years since my accident, four years since I got out of a coma with no memory of who I was, three years and six months since I got out of a vegetable State after so much surgery and therapy and exactly two years since Layana passed away dues to a medical condition only Xavier was informed about.Nobody ever told me anything about my accident, Xavier didn't tell me anything about Layana's medical condition, I have been kept in the dark and I never questioned it, thinking it was for the better.Violet and I waited at the airport for my baby boy Ryan, my boyfriend Xavier, and his friend Lexie. Xavier and Ryan went on a father-son bonding while Lexie just somehow met them there."Mama," Ryan let go of Lexie's hand and ran to hug me, I picked him up from the ground and gave him a tight hug."Baby, how are you doing?" I giggled and kissed him all over his face."Ryan misses you," Ryan hugged me tightly, his little finger wrapped around my neck
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
