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
Madison's POVMy hands and legs began to shake with my phone in my hand, what does he mean by Lexie isn't mad? It couldn't be."Are you okay?" Leon asked as he looked at me with concern.I looked at him for a moment, "I will be right back," I informed Leon."Where are you going?" Leon asked him, I wanted to tell him but I didn't say anything because I wanted to be sure that I wouldn't be the one going for a doctor's appointment next."I will be right back I just want to get something," I forced a smile on my face.My legs got up and carried me to the plastic surgeon department, I didn't want to go, I didn't want to confirm whatever made me think Lexie was mad but here I was in front of Doctor Jennifer's office.My hands began to sweat and they shakily turned the doorknob, I didn't know the prayer to pray, I wanted to pray it should be true but at the same time, I didn't want it to be true.The door opened wide for me to see the woman's husband whom Lexie had mistaken for Xavier at the
Madison's POV"Where have you been? I have been looking for you," Leon said to me the moment I got back to the waiting room.Should I tell him? Or should I let it be?"I went to get something to drink but I didn't see," I forced a smile on my face."There is a vending machine right here," Leon pointed at the machine."I am sorry I forgot, everything just, I don't know," I tried to explain but couldn't."Did you cry?" Leon pointed at my eyes."I was tired of everything, by the way, how is the surgery going?" I changed the topic, I didn't want to answer the question about me crying."I don't know Lexie isn't out yet," Leon put his hands into his pocket."She said it's going to be a simple surgery then what's going on?" I questioned, I can't even trust her hands."Let's just wait and see," Leon sat on the chair opposite Lexie's office while I paced the lobby.I was worried about Kim but she was the last person on my mind, my mind was on Xavier, how was he alive? I saw him in the fire, I
Madison's POV"Baby, who is the owner of this necklace?" I asked again as I took the necklace from Ryan's hands, I needed to make sure I heard right."Aunty Violet's necklace," Ryan drank out of his juice."Baby, how do you know it's for Aunty Violet?" I held Ryan by the hand, I wanted him to say he wasn't sure."Mummy, have you forgotten? Aunty Violet always wears it, she doesn't let it leave her neck and you complained about it," Ryan explained.Now I remember something like that but I can't remember the design of the necklace. Why did Lexie say the necklace belonged to the person who had hit her that night? Violet couldn't have hit her, she had to reason to."Ryan, how can you be so sure this one belongs to Aunty Violet?" I showed him the necklace, Ryan dropped his glass down and took the necklace from my hand."Here," Ryan pointed at the back of the necklace, "Aunty Violet's name," Ryan handed me the necklace after pointing out how he knew.I forced a smile on my face and took the
Madison's POVI was going to destroy everything and everyone, I was planning to go easy on everyone before but now I want to avenge my daughter Layana's death."Do you have evidence?" I asked Inspector Jay, my blood boiling with anger as I sat opposite Inspector Jay in the interrogation room."Soon, it will come," Inspector Jay smirked."Why do you have a problem with me? I mean you barely know me and I don't know you," I sat up on the chair, putting my hands on the table."I hate criminals, drug offenders especially," Inspector Jay scoffed, he said the words I wanted him to say."Do you hate drug offenders or do you hate your daughter's boyfriend for putting her in that condition?" I raised my eyebrows.Inspector Jay was personally on my case because I was free from the drug case despite drugs being found in my blood."How sure are you that your daughter's boyfriend forced the drugs on her? What If she is scared of you and that innocent boy is just in jail?" I said in a low tone as I
Madison's POV"I want a divorce," I didn't know when these words slipped out of my mouth, I never had them in mind."What?" Leon paused on the staircase as he looked back at both Adrian and me."Are you in the right frame of mind? Are you sure you are okay?" Adrian asked me as he removed his hands from my wrist.No, I wasn't but instead, I said, "Yes I am.""That place must have messed with your head, take some medicine and get some rest, when we get back we will talk," Adrian looked at me from head to toe before leaving the house with Leon following behind him.What was I thinking? I must have gone mad, talking about a divorce, I must really be crazy.After they both left, I ran to my room and sent the fabricated documents that would keep Lexie behind bars for a very long time to Inspector Jay and used a private number to send it to Xavier or Henry's phone.I was only following the unknown caller's instructions, I asked for his help and he gave me an option so I picked this, now I ha
Madison's POVXavier was definitely at the scene, he spoke with Lexie, and he ran off for some reason, someone I couldn't see came from behind and hit Lexie with a baseball bat and stone on the head continuously.I squinted my eyes to see who had hit Lexie, I couldn't see the person's face but my eyes landed on the person's watch, my breath caught in my lungs when I realized the watch belonged to Violet.I stood up and searched my wardrobe looking for that piece of fabric I picked from the stairs where Anita fell.I found it, it was a lace fabric, I scrolled through the file and Violet was the only one who wore a purple lace gown to Xavier's memorial."No, it can't be, it can't be!" I picked up my phone from the bed and threw it, it hit the mirror and scattered everywhere.Violet's necklace fell from the mirror and it opened, I didn't know the necklace could open up, I got up from the bed, and picked it up only to see there was a memory card inside, I brought out the memory card and i
Madison's POV"Kim I will be right back," I got up from the bed wanting to follow Adrian."Mrs. Madison, not now please," Kim held my hand, stopping me from leaving."Kim you know it too but you are keeping quiet for some reason, if you can't help me then at least let me go," I struggled to remove my hand from hers."I want to help you, it's too dangerous but I will let you go after the drip," Kim pleaded with me and I nodded my head.It took forever waiting for the drip to be empty. Kim sat on the couch watching me while Leon was sitting opposite Kim on his phone the whole time. He left the kids alone with a student nurse because taking care of kids wasn't his thing."Done," I announced the moment the last drip dropped into my body and removed the needle from my body by myself."Where is Anita?" I asked for the 100th time, but nobody answered before because they were waiting for my drip to finish and beating around the bush."In the operating room," Leon answered."How many hours is
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
