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 said."It's true, his laughter is unique but do you remember any detail?" Violet asked, because I know she worked in the hotel Adrian once stayed in.I tried to remember then it suddenly clicked what I saw that night, "Adrian has a Chinese character tattoo on his chest," I said, sounding unsure."Adrian has never shown his body to the public before and yes I saw that tattoo at the hotel," Violet said, her face lighting up."And he had a small tattoo on his lower waist," I finally said what I remembered."I don't know about that but we are going to be Rich?" Violet questioned as if unsure of what I had just said, "We are going to be Rich!" Violet screamed."Violet, but there is a big problem right now," I said in a sad tune."Madi, what's the problem?" Violet Drew closer to me, her voice filled with pure concern."But he doesn't know he is about to become a father, what should I do now?" I asked as the tears rolled down my cheeks."Then we should tell him about it," Violet said."How?" I asked."What do you mean how?" Violet asked, staring at me, "ohhh," all of a sudden realization dawned on her."Now do you understand, the man is always tight with security and one needs an appointment to see him, since you are a fan, am I right or wrong?" I questioned."Isn't it obvious?" Violet raised her eyebrows."What is?" I raised my eyebrows questioning her."What do you mean, what is? Then we are booking you an appointment with him," Violet said, as if it was the most obvious thing on Earth."But how? It could take months for our name to get to the top list," I said, already feeling disheartened."Madi, am your best friend, trust me on this, can you do that for me?" Violet asked and I nodded my head.Violet brought out her phone and dialed the number on the TV, it rang for sometime before someone finally picked up.She put the phone on speaker, so we could both hear, "Hello, Good evening this is Ava from the Adrian empire, how may I help you?" The person on the other side of the phone asked."Yes, Good evening, my name is Madison and I would like to book an appointment with Mr Adrian," Violet said."Are you part of our VIP list?" The lady asked."No, I am not," Violet answered, she rolled her eyes."Okay, have you spent more than six million dollars on any of our items before?" The lady asked."No, I haven't," Violet said, she was trying to be patient."Okay, but have you made an appointment with Adrian Empire before?" The lady asked.I stared at Madison waiting for her response, "No, I haven't," Violet answered."Then, I am sorry we will have to book you an appointment with another person in the empire," the lady said."No, I would like for Mr Adrian to be my guide," Violet said firmly."Am sorry but you haven't met the requirements for Mr Adrian to be your guide," the Lady said."Is there anything we can do to get Mr Adrian as our guide?" Violet asked."It will not be possible to get him as your guide now even if I manage to put your name on the list, it will obviously take years so I would advise you to get someone who has a VIP card then I will be able to help," the lady said, her voice was so professional and steady."Okay, thanks for your time, have a nice day," Violet said, about to drop the phone when the lady said something."Mr Adrian is going to have a meet and greet, you can try to see him at the event but it might be impossible, thanks for calling and have a nice day," the Lady ended the call."There, we can't do anything," I heaved a sigh."Madi, we have to think of something for your child, maybe we can try to approach him at the meet and greet event?" Violet said, trying to ease the situation."But, you know that's impossible," I said, feeling downcasted."Nothing is impossible," Violet said, trying to reassure me."That man is always protected with guards and whatnot," I said."Okay if we can't meet him at the meet and greet then let's get a VIP card," Violet suggested."You want us to spend our life savings on the Adrian Empire just to get a VIP card!" I yelled."Not really but that would work because it's for a greater cause," Violet's face lit up a little."Hell no we can't spend money on such, he might even deny it," I said."Then what do we do? Do you have any better suggestions?" Violet asked."No I don't, let's just wait and see," I said, feeling disheartened but didn't allow it to show.After being silent for what felt like an hour Violet finally said something."Xavier!" Violet said and clicked her fingers."Xavier?" I asked, confusion written on my face."Your ex boyfriend Xavier," Violet said. what was she trying to say? The thought of Xavier brought pains to my heart."Xavier has a fucking VIP card," Violet asked.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
Madison's POVAs I walked down the stairs in tears I heard someone call my name, I turned to see who was standing at the top of the stairs but the person was faceless.I tried to look closely but the person pushed me down the stairs, I screamed as I rowed down the stairs.I fell at the last stairs in my pool of blood, I looked up to see the chandelier falling from the ceiling, falling towards me. I closed my eyes waiting for the impact but nothing. When I tried opening my eyes, I couldn't, I tried moving my body but I couldn't, I felt someone trying to suffocate me, and I managed to open my eyes.I saw a faceless person drop a pillow on the floor and run out of the room while some nurses ran inside the room. I tried to follow the faceless person outside but I heard Violet's voice calling my name.******I slowly opened my eyes to see Ryan crying, Violet calling my name repeatedly, and tapping on my face. I sat straight on my bed, carried Ryan in my arms, and stopped his crying."Are
Madison's POV"Not as if he is your child," I sneered, Xavier stepped on the brakes immediately but my seat belt saved me.I didn't know where such words had come from or why I had said them but Violet and Xavier's expression wasn't the reaction I thought I would see."Did you hit your head or something?" Violet commented from the back."Am sorry, I didn't mean it," I apologized to Xavier, I could see guilt in his eyes but why was he feeling guilty?"I'm sorry for scolding you about Ryan but why did you say that?" Xavier apologized, making me confused."I don't know, it just slipped out of my tongue," I pouted, Xavier nodded and continued driving."Is Ryan's medical records part of the record I wasn't allowed access to?" I turned to see Xavier's hand tightening around the steering wheel again and his teeth grinding."Yes," Xavier answered with a straight face."Why can't I see it?" I tried my possible best to be calm.I don't know why Xavier doesn't want me to access mine and the kid
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
