Madison's POV"What's her condition?" I asked the moment I arrived at where the test was being conducted."I'm waiting for the results," Leon rubbed his hands together as he let out a breath.I looked around when I didn't see Lexie, "Okay, where is she?" I asked Leon about her whereabouts."She is resting in the ward, who was the girl with you earlier?" Leon asked.Leon had seen me with Kim earlier, I appreciate he didn't interrupt us when we were talking but I still didn't want him to question me about her."She is a friend," I lied."A friend?" Leon didn't seem to believe me for some reason, "I didn't know you keep friends like that?""I would appreciate it if you don't ask any questions about her," I stopped Leon from saying anything else.I have made a deal to get her a safe place, I don't know any safe place apart from my house but it would be wrong to bring a complete stranger into my home.I sat down on the chair contemplating what to do, I'm a full-time housewife, if I was to g
Madison's POVI was making lunch in the kitchen for the family, and the worker assisted. Normally I don't work in the kitchen but I wanted to prepare something nice for Xavier's Mom.I had made a plan with Kim to bring Xavier's mom under my husband's roof, I don't know how she did it but she did, I wanted to keep her closer while Kim would help me find the person to whom Layana's heart was given."Mummy, mummy, water, water," Ryan dragged the edge of my dress continuously."Baby meet your daddy," I tried to send Ryan to Adrian because I was busy cutting vegetables."Uncle Adrian is busy," Ryan began crying, Ryan still doesn't call Adrian his dad, he calls only Xavier his dad. "What of Grandma?" I asked, Ryan still calls Xavier's mom Grandma."Grandma is with Mira and Avira," Ryan sobbed louder, I didn't want to touch him or the water because of the pepper in my hands."Don't worry, I will give you the water myself," Lexie dropped her phone on the kitchen island and carried Ryan in her
Madison's POV Everyone was running back and forth preparing for Xavier's memorial ceremony while I sat on the chair taking care of the kids, I wanted the nanny to take care of the kids while I did other things but Anita sent the nanny on an errand. "I have picked up Ryan's medications from the hospital," Kim handed me the bag of Ryan's medications, since Ryan had an operation he has been on some type of medication. Kim started to work with us yesterday, Adrian found it weird I would make a girl the kids' driver but I had to convince him that I couldn't get a male driver because of the girls in the house, Leon doesn't like the idea of Kim staying here but there is nothing he can do about it and Xavier's mom, she feels extremely uncomfortable about the idea but there is nothing she can do. "Thanks, the video you sent yesterday, who was the other person on the operating table?" I asked Kim, I was curious about it since she sent the video. "What video? I didn't send you any video," Ki
Madison's POV People began to scream, some ran outside, and some stood there looking at the scene before them, Mrs Anita Williams was lying almost lifeless in her pool of blood at the edge of the stairs. Fear gripped me, my feet couldn't move from the floor, and my chest felt tightened, why on this day? "Call an ambulance!" Someone shouted from the crowd. "I will take Mother to the hospital," Adrian picked up Anita from the floor and carried her in his hands. "I will go with you," I held Adrian by his shirt as fear gripped me and my voice less audible. "Babe, see the guests off, take care of Lexie and the kids, everything will be alright," Adrian said to me, "Leon come with me," Adrian rushed out and Leon followed behind me. I stood at the edge of the stairs as I watched the blood rolling down, Goosebumps filled my skin, I was scared, and I was shaking inside me, Kim came from God knows where and stood in my front blocking me from seeing the blood. "Where are the kids? Where is
Madison's POV"You once accused Mrs Anita Williams of murder, sorry medical malpractice and you accused her late son, Mr Xavier Williams of medical malpractice so doesn't that give you enough reason to kill her again? Like revenge?" The police investigator asked as he stood up from his chair, walked around a bit, and turned off the camera in the interrogation room.I was seated in the interrogating office in the police station, dressed in the clothes I wore for Xavier's memorial, I was the number one suspect in this case, so why me?"We do not know what you are talking about and we will not answer any questions with the camera turned off," my lawyer answered on my behalf, Adrian hired a lawyer so I wouldn't say the wrong things and get myself implicated."Okay, let's talk about Mrs. Alexandria Xavier Williams, she is related to the family whom you are after or you could still have hidden feelings for the late Mr. Xavier Williams and that could be the reason you tried to kill his wife,
Madison's POVBoth I and Leon waited outside the ward while Adrian was having a conversation with the doctor. We rushed out of the house leaving everything to Kim and the nanny after Adrian received that call.I wonder what it could be, from the way Adrian drove, it's either good or bad news."Stop pacing around, it's distracting," Leon glared at me. I felt like hitting his head but this wasn't the time."I'm just anxious," I said, still pacing around not minding Leon."Pacing around wouldn't help, the click of your heel keeps disturbing me," Leon rolled his eyes as he pointed at my legs."Mind your motherfucking business, I wonder why you are even here," I rolled my eyes back at him and standing stomping my heels on the floor on purpose trying my very best to annoy Leon.Shortly after I and Leon's little argument, the doctor came out of the ward and Adrian called us in, for us to be called into the ward means Anita was still alive.We entered the ward quietly, Adrian was seated on th
Madison's POV"Who did this to you?" My eyes darted from her face and her tummy, I was genuinely scared for her.I was scared, this is my house, Kim got stabbed in my motherfucking house, how is that possible."It was a mistake, I hurt myself by mistake," Kim was lying, I wanted to buy it but I couldn't. I was about to ask again when I heard movement in her room."Who was in the room with you?" I was about to enter the room when Kim blocked the door with her body."It's just me, there is no one there," Kim asked as she shut the door completely."Whose home is this?" I asked Kim sternly."Yours," she replied with a painful expression on her face."Who do you work under?" I asked with utmost seriousness."You," Kim answered with her head slightly down."Then why are you standing at the front of the door preventing me from entering my house?" I raised my eyebrows."I am very sorry Mrs Madison," Kim stepped aside from the door.Why did she stand at the door, I wondered what she was hiding
Madison's POV"Who the fuck is she?" I yelled at Adrian, he looked up at me in anger."Who the fuck is who!" Adrian yelled back, he dropped the hoodie on his reading table."Now you are asking me questions?" I raised my brows as I put one wait on my waist."If you can calm down and talk to me, it will all be alright," Adrian said calmly, I put my right hand on my head and took a deep breath."That's your hoodie, why is there foundation on it? Who were you with? That isn't my shade so don't even think of fucking lying," I asked the question I had in my head."Wait, wait, hold on, I don't know what you are talking about, are you trying to call me a cheat?" Adrian got up from the chair, I held my hands up to stop him from coming closer."Don't even do that, don't!" I yelled, "Are you trying to say I'm blind?""Madison, I didn't say that, I'm just saying I haven't worn this hoodie in two years now, the past few weeks have been crazy but I'm sure I didn't take this hoodie out of this house
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
