Jake had already left for work by the time Maddie woke up the next morning. Now that was odd, thought Maddie.

For a while now, even though he usually got up before her, he would often let her know before leaving for work. And she usually packed food for him and her brother to leave with. They usually took it along with them. It was just a few minutes past 4am so why had he already left for work? It was still so early!

Her brother Mathew had also left for work, she soon discovered when she sent a staff member to check. Still, she did her usual routine, packed some breakfast for the both of them, and then sent one of the staff to take it to them at the company.

She baked some extra cookies for the kids to have for lunch. Andrew had made mention that he had made friends with two boys from the basketball team he was now a part of so she thought he could share some with them. She also made some pineapple juice and shared it into a total of four containers.

They couldn't be acting the way they were for the same reason, could they? It was quite unlikely anyway. Maybe Mathew was having problems with his girlfriend, what was her name again?

    Stephanie couldn't believe her luck as she sneakily scurried out of the Conat's family estate after Jake had stormed out angrily. She had quickly gone to hide when she saw him coming towards the door of the living room where she had stood eavesdropping, and had only sneaked out after she heard his car zoom off.This was it! This was just all she needed to separate Jake and Maddie… And to think that it had just fallen straight into her arms on a platter of pure gold!She had come to visit Jake's mother since she had some free time. Who was she kidding? She always had free time. Her late parents had left them with such a great fortune that they never had to work a day in their lives ever again.

    It was like an ambush. Maddie literally screamed when Stephanie suddenly appeared in front of her just as she got out of the car and stepped inside the fashion school through the gate. She had been immersed in her thoughts and was clearly startled when the girl suddenly showed up in front of her as she had not noticed her approaching."Let's talk," Stephanie muttered simply with a cocky gaze.Maddie scoffed. "I don't believe we have anything to talk about," she said and made to walk past her but Stephanie reached out to grab her hand roughly, compelling her to halt.Maddie pulled her hand away from Stephanie's hold with a sigh. If only she had not asked the bodyguards to stop coming with her inside the fashion school then they would be here to take care of this annoying wench! They usually only escorted her all the way here and stopped at the gate before leaving to come back later during her closing hours. Both the bodyguards and her driver. That was the arrangement they had establish

    She was back in that suite, back on that bed, just lying there helpless as he barged in through the door taking strides towards her. She saw his face this time. Cold and emotionless. A smirk playing on his face. Sheer evil dancing in his eyes.He jumped on her the next second, ripping her clothing into shreds. All she could let out were muffled sobs as he had his way with her, thrusting in and out of her mercilessly. The pain. The fear. The shame. She felt it all at once and all she could wish for was death, right there and then.With a gasp, Maddie jerked awake. The first thing she noticed was her unfamiliar yet very familiar environment. There were tubes connected to an intravenous drip and attached to her body. She was in a hospital.It all came rushing in the next second. What she had just found out.No. It couldn't be. It couldn't be him. Why was it him? Why was fate so cruel to her? Just when she thought she could be happy. Just when she was beginning to feel that void withi

    "She is asleep," Audrey said to Matthew as she stepped out of the gate to meet him. He was standing outside. He couldn't bring himself to go inside since his sister was there. She wouldn't want to see him. He let out a relieved sigh on hearing Audrey's words. "Please take care of her, I will leave now." Audrey smiled lightly and moved to embrace him. "Hey, don't be too hard on yourself, okay? You were only a kid." Pulling away from her embrace, Mathew sighed heavily before shaking his head disagreeably at her. She reached out to touch his face. "You didn't know he was using you to get information to cause harm to your sister," she pointed out. "But I did find out eventually, didn't I?" came Mathew's stubborn retort. Audrey sighed, muttering a quiet, "Matt!" He went on. "Kid or not, when I got to know that the college boy Harry had something to do with my sister's abduction and rape, I should have told Maddie and my parents immediately. Instead what did I do? I did what Harry

    It wasn't until Friday evening that Maddie's blank mind stirred, the image of a certain blonde blue-eyed kid filling it. "Sweetie!" she muttered with a gasp and jumped out of bed. However, because of the lack of food in her body she got dizzy and fell back on the bed with a low thud. This was what Audrey walked in on as she stepped into the room with a fresh bowl of food in a tray to replace the untouched one she had brought in the afternoon. "Maddie are you okay?" she asked as Maddie had fallen back on the bed gripping her forehead with one hand. It was an unnecessary question, ironic even. Of course her friend was far from okay. More so, she could very well tell why Maddie had fallen back on the bed while attempting to stand up. Her poor friend's body was weak. It was a surprise that she hadn't passed out yet. Moving to place the tray she had brought on the dressing table as the side table beside Maddie's bed still had the tray containing the untouched lunch, Audrey moved to

Andrew rushed towards Maddie all the way from the car to the gate where she was standing, throwing himself into her arms when he reached her.A light smile formed on Maddie's face as she held him. "My sweetie, I missed you," she muttered in all sincerity, just seeing the lad was making her heart suddenly feel full.Andrew half released her, reaching one of his hand towards her face to touch it ever so tenderly with his fingertips. "I missed you more mummy. Daddy said you have been so busy and that was why you couldn't even call me while I was at Sheila's place. By the way, I had so much fun there. Their house is not as big as our mansion but it is so cozy and warm and Sheila and I frequented the park after school hours and had so much fun. I really want to do that again. But you should always find time to call me mummy no matter how busy you are, I am your sweetie after all, but…" Andrew was speaking so fast and with so much excitement, he was literally out of breath by t

    Mathew was in the living room with Audrey when Maddie got out of bed and made her way towards the kitchen for a glass of water as she was thirsty. She hadn't been able to go back to sleep after the dream she had. There were just a lot of unsettling thoughts it had provoked making sleep elude her completely. As the living room was on the way to the kitchen, she was able to peep inside as she passed by it while walking down the connecting passageway and this was how she caught glimpse of Audrey and Mathew. They seemed to be immersed in a solemn conversation but they were speaking in hushed tones.After emptying a glass and half of water, she made her way out of the kitchen and towards the living room.

She had finally made a decision, once the sun was up, she would text Jake for them to meet up

    The long awaited day of the trial of the state versus Linsley Conat finally came. As the masses were now actively involved in this case, Linsley Conat had been unable to bribe her way out of prison. The few people she knew in power in the judiciary system refused to help her. Her last resort, which had been to fake mental illness, had fallen apart because her son had made sure to cut her off completely from those that might be able to help her fake the reports and all the other necessary documents. Backed in a corner, helpless, all she had been able to do was wait dejectedly in her cell for the day of her trial…"All rise!"Everyone in the courtroom rose immediately as the command from the judicial assistant rang out. The judge stepped in and it was after he took his seat that he muttered a lazy, "Sit!" and everyone else in the courtroom took their respective seats.From across the courtroom, Linsley's almost lifeless eyes caught sight of her son and she gave him the most deathly st

    It was all over the news the next morning being a Saturday, every news channel was airing it. Newspapers, magazines both online and in hard copy print all carried the news of the arrest of Linsley Conat. The news however didn't say under what grounds she was arrested but in the news published by Starlight Media agency, they announced that the son of Linsley Conat, Jake Conat had agreed to an exclusive interview to discuss the subject of his mother's arrest and give them all the scoop there was. The interview was scheduled for the next day being Sunday. The internet was in a frenzy. Jake got a call from the company warning him not to come because the paparazzi were everywhere. Even the security stationed far ahead at the entrance of the street leading to the mansion had called to inform him that the paparazzi were gathered there as well. Thankfully, the paparazzi couldn't get into the street because of the tight security at the entrance so they couldn't get anywhere close to the ma

    It was a lot. Everything that had happened in the past couple days. It was too much revelation. She was angry, bitter, sad, frustrated, and hurt but most of all, what she felt the most was fear. The fear of losing the love she shared with Jake. The fear of losing the happiness he had brought into her life. The fear of losing the peace he had brought her. The fear of losing the complete perfect family she had envisioned. The fear of losing her brother even. It was because of this fear that she hadn't come to a decision all the while or even address the situation. Now she was ready. She knew what she had to do. Karen had ended their session with the words, "Maddie dear, don't forget that the past is past. It actually has no control whatsoever on your present or future, not unless you allow it. Your happiness does not lie in the past but in your now." Karen's words had been the final push she had needed to come to a decision… "Welcome mummy," Andrew who was in the living room rushed

    Maddie had been sitting right across Karen for roughly fifteen minutes already, yet she hadn't said a word other than the greeting she had muttered to the lady when she had first stepped in. The warm smile playing on the therapist's face didn't falter, she continued waiting patiently for Maddie to speak. Drawing a sharp breath, Maddie finally opened her mouth to speak. "I umm, it's umm, complicated. I don't even know where to start." Karen's smile widened. "You can start anywhere you like Maddie. " The way Karen's office was designed, it was a modern office setting with an office table and a chair, and then across the table on the other end were two other chairs, arranged to slantingly face each other. There were a stretch of cupboards right behind the office table and chairs, at the far end of the wall, it contained drawers containing files of patients. Ahead of the office table before one got to the door or if one came from the door, were two adjacent reclining sofas. This w

    "Idiot!" Linsley cursed under her breath the moment Stephanie was gone, kicking at her feet in fury, and just then her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and then picked the call rather hurriedly. "So, have you found that fool Harry?" she asked the person on the other line. "No we haven't. He seems to have disappeared," came the reply from the person on the other line. "Then find his f**king family fool and use them to lure him out!" She practically yelled into the phone. "Well, umm, his father and younger sister have disappeared as well. I think your son is protecting them by keeping them hidden somewhere." "Arrrgh!" Linsley screamed, tossing her phone across the wall in anger. "Incompetent fools!" she cursed, and then started to parade about the room. Her son was protecting Harry! Was he f**king insane? He had threatened to send her to jail but it had just been an empty threat, right? Well, she was beginning to think of the threat as more than just an empty threat.

    Jake couldn't believe she was really in his arms. Sleeping so soundly with her face pressed against his chest. He had been on his way out to get himself a fresh cup of coffee when the knock on his door had sounded. He had immediately known it was her. So, he had quickly answered the door and alas! It had been indeed her!Even though she had not exactly voiced out her reason for being there, he had seen it playing so evidently in her eyes. But then, there had been conflicting emotions playing in her eyes too and she had almost scurried away. Thank goodness he hadn't let her! He hadn't known where the courage had come from to ask her to stay and let him cuddle her. He had almost thought she wouldn't stay or let him even as much as touch her but she had agreed. She had stayed and now she was in his arms.However, Jake didn't know whether to be pleased or not. It was almost like she was giving herself one last time to be with him, and then afterwards she would leave him for good. It wa

    "You umm, you have something on your mouth," Jake's voice sounded seconds later when Maddie didn't look away like he had expected her to when their gazes first locked. His shaky voice gave away his nervousness. He wasn't lying though, she did have food particles smeared on one corner of her lips.On hearing his words, Maddie reached for a serviette piece on the table to wipe her mouth all over as Jake hadn't specifically pointed out the part of her mouth that was smeared with food particles. And she wasn't ready to ask him for specifics. As she performed this action, Jake found his eyes lowering to her lips, swallowing as he remembered how it tasted. She finished cleaning her mouth, her eyes returning to him and catching the desire playing in his eyes. Her gaze on him turned into a glare and he quickly looked away from her feeling slightly embarrassed. "Mummy, can you please pass me the ketchup?" Andrew's voice was Jake's saving grace as Maddie averted her gaze from him to her s

    Jake did well to stay out of Maddie's way for the rest of the evening. Even skipping dinner. He was already content enough that she had returned to the mansion although he knew that her reason for returning was most probably because of her son. It had been evident in her face earlier when she saw him after getting out of the car. The way she had turned away from him so swiftly. He was pretty sure that if she could, she would have dug a hole and hidden herself in it right there and then. It was how much she despised him now. Well, she did have every right to. Closing his laptop, Jake rose from his chair and started to make his way out of the office study. He proceeded towards the kitchen in the second floor, opening the refrigerator to take out a foil covered plate. The plate contained the quesadilla pizza his son had given him earlier saying that Maddie and him had baked it and kept some for him. He knew that them keeping some for him was all his son and not at all Maddie's decis
