Madeline comes out of the bathroom with the dress on. Stephanie gasp "damn girl, I wish you'd dress like this every day, you look hot." Amanda squealing drags her to the mirror so she could do her make up and get hair. After some hours Amanda is finally finished. Madeline twirls in front of the mirror, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. Stephanie and Amanda can't contain their enthusiasm. "Madeline, you look smoking hot! Jake won't know what hit him!". "Seriously, if he doesn't fall head over heels tonight, I don't know what will do the trick." Madeline blushes "Thanks, guys. I just hope I don't make a fool of myself." Stephanie reassures her "Nonsense! You'll be amazing. Just be yourself, and everything will fall into place."As they prepare to leave, Madeline grabs her purse. Amanda teasingly asks "Are you sure you're ready for this, Madeline? Once Jake sees you in that dress, there's no turning back." Madeline rolls her eyes playfully: "Oh, please. I'm not trying to seduc
Madeline wakes up in Jake's arms, a soft smile playing on her lips. She traces the contours of his face, admiring the tranquility in his sleep. Jake stirs awake, and his eyes meet hers. He pulls her closer, sharing a morning hug and a gentle kiss. Madeline chuckles and teases him about his morning classes. "Don't you have class this morning, Mr. Responsible Student?" Jake's eyes widen in realization, and he groans. "Oh no, I totally forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder." Madeline laughs at his slightly panicked expression as he hurriedly gets out of bed. She watches, amused, as he almost trips while putting on his trousers. "Careful there, Jake. Don't want you ending up in the emergency room before your first class." Jake finishes getting ready, leans down, and gives her a quick, apologetic kiss. "I'll make it up to you later. See you soon." He heads out, leaving Madeline smiling at the chaotic but endearing start to the day. As the door closes, she hears him call out from the
Jake continues his painful story, recounting how he and Rachel had known each other since childhood, their relationship blossoming during high school. Everything seemed smooth until a new kid arrived, catching Rachel's attention. Jake couldn't ignore the way Rachel looked at him or her persistent attempts to befriend the new guy under the guise of friendliness. One day, suspicions turned into reality when Jake stumbled upon Rachel and the new kid sharing a kiss in an empty classroom. Heartbroken, he overheard their conversation where the new kid asked about Jake. Rachel callously dismissed their relationship, claiming Jake was too nice, and she preferred someone with a rough edge – a bad boy. Madeline listens intently, feeling the weight of Jake's past on his shoulders. She gently squeezes his hand, silently encouraging him to continue with his painful tale. Jake continues, detailing how he left school immediately after discovering Rachel's betrayal. Consumed by a mix of anger and hea
Slowly but gradually Madeline and Jake get adjusted to the role of boyfriend an girlfriend in each other's life. Getting to know each other better and understanding themselves. One evening, as Jake and Madeline enjoy a quiet dinner together, Jake brings up the idea of introducing Madeline to his friends. "You know, I've been thinking, I would love you to meet the rest of my guys. You already know Justin, but I'd like for you to meet Blake, and Nathan." Madeline, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves, looks at Jake with wide eyes. Jake notices "Maddy what's wrong? If you don't want to meet them it's okay we'll just...." Madeline interrupts him "no Jake it's fine. I'm just feeling nervous. What if they don't like me." Jake chuckles, cupping her face with his hands. "Of course, they'll love you. But hey, if it makes you more comfortable, invite Amanda and Stephanie. It'll be a relaxed hangout." Madeline relax and nods. Jake kisses her on her hair and they continue eating. Taking Jake's
The crisp autumn air lingered as Jake and Madeline strolled back from the picnic, hand in hand. In front of Madeline's dorm, Jake paused, a tender smile playing on his lips. Without a word, he leaned in, gently pressing his lips to hers. Madeline responded with a warm embrace, and when they pulled away, she found herself engulfed in his strong arms. "Madeline," Jake said, his eyes reflecting sincerity, "I'm really glad you're mine." His words echoed with a depth that made Madeline's heart flutter. She chuckled, overwhelmed with happiness, and teased, "Well, I'm stuck with you now, so you better get used to it." With a playful twinkle in his eye, Jake suggested, "How about we head to my place? I've got some amazing homemade desserts waiting." Madeline blushed knowing exactly what dessert he was talking about. however, she reminded him of the impending week filled with tight schedules and looming exams. She shared her need to focus on her studies, admitting, "I want to spend time with y
Madeline awakens to the warmth of Jake's arms around her, a sense of comfort enveloping her. Stretching lazily, she glances at the clock and realizes that a hectic day of classes awaits her. Jake stirs as she gets up, and she quickly navigates through the morning routine. A hurried shower, a swift selection of clothes, and she's ready to face the day. Jake, ever the attentive partner, decides to walk her to class. Madeline can't help but notice Jake's sexy disheveled look, a charming result of his just-rolled-out-of-bed hair. Unable to resist, she pulls him close for a deep, lingering kiss. The world seems to fade away for a moment, but they pull back, mindful of the time and the bustling day ahead. With a shared smile, they set out together. Madeline's roommate has already left for class, leaving the room quiet. Jake opens the door for her and Madeline freezes, surprised to see Daniel standing there. Jake's expression tightens, but he remains composed. Daniel stammers a greeting, "M
Madeline walks back to her dorm already missing Jake. She sighed wondering what was so wrong with worrying about someone. She gets to her room and Daniel is sitting on the floor in front of her door.Madeline's heart pounds as she approaches her dorm, emotions swirling in her chest. Seeing Daniel sitting on the floor catches her off guard, and she calls out, "Daniel? What are you doing here?" He stands up, and there's a mix of hope and uncertainty in his eyes. "Hey, Madeline," he says, a hesitant smile on his face. "I didn't plan well with the hotel situation, and, well, I thought maybe you'd... consider letting me stay here." Madeline raises an eyebrow, her expression a blend of surprise and disbelief. "Are you serious, Daniel? After everything?" He sighs, looking down for a moment, then meets her eyes again. "I just thought, you know, since you were so upset about me leaving, maybe..." Madeline interrupts, her voice firm, "Daniel, I've moved on. Jake is an upgrade from you. I can't j
Madeline, overwhelmed with frustration and regret, tries to go after Jake, but he's already disappeared. She sinks onto her bed, burying her head in her hands, questioning how everything went so wrong. Daniel, sensing the tension, apologizes and suggests that maybe it's best if he leaves. Despite the chaos, Madeline hesitates and then tells him not to go.Meanwhile, Stephanie and Amanda return to their dorm and catch a glimpse of Daniel. The puzzled looks they shoot Madeline silently convey their confusion. Stephanie doesn't hold back, "Why the hell is he in your room, Madeline?" Amanda chimes in, "what's going on Maddy." her expression a mix of concern and suspicion. Madeline sighs, struggling to find the right words to explain the unexpected twist of events. She begins, "It's complicated. He's going through something really tough, and I just wanted to help." Stephanie raises an eyebrow, "Help? By hugging him?" Madeline hesitates, "It's about his mom. She has cancer, and he's devasta
Madeline manages to break Free of Daniel's grasp and runs to stand in front of the guards that is about to shoot her friends. She yells at Daniel "if you want to kill them, you have to kill me too." Daniel scoffs walking towards her " don't be foolish, you can't possibly want to die for their sake, you've hardly know them." Madeline screams at him " what is wrong with you,I love Jake and nothing is going to ever change it even if I go with you my heart will never belong to you, you will never have my heart so why not just kill me instead." Daniel stunned at her revelation looks at her surprise that she was willing to go the extent of dying for her friends, for Jake. Daniel walks to where she's kneeling and grabs her hand " if you won't love me willingly then you'll love me by Force." he grabbed her hand and drags her to the car. He pushes her in and shut the door. He turns around once more he tells Tony to handle her friends. Daniel is about to get into the car and drive away w
The tension in the room is palpable as Tony stands in disagrees with Daniels plans. Tony shakes his head, "You're gambling with everything we built. The gang is not just a means to an end; it's family. Don't forget that."Tony's frustration deepens . "You think leaving the gang is the solution? Daniel, this gang is more than just a way out for us. It's a brotherhood, a family. Remember when you first walked through those doors? Henry doubted you, but I saw potential. I stood up for you, vouched for you, because I believed in the leader I saw in you. We swore an oath to the gang, Daniel, to prioritize the gang before anything else." Daniel clenches his jaw, the weight of Tony's words sinking in. "Tony, Madeline is the key to a life beyond all this. We won't need the gang if we have her and the wealth she brings. Can't you see the bigger picture?" Tony's eyes reflect hurt and disappointment. "You're willing to sacrifice everything we stand for just for your personal desires. This gang is
Madeline, despite the escalating horror, keeps her gaze steady, refusing to break. Daniel's eyes narrow, his frustration growing. He leans in, his voice a dangerous whisper, "I'll keep going until you decide to talk. What happened?" Madeline grits her teeth but doesn't relent. Sarah, in pain and fear, pleads with Madeline to tell Daniel whatever he wants to know. Madeline finally breaks her silence ."Fine, stop!, I'll talk." Madeline pleads with Daniel to stop the cruelty towards Sarah. "Please, Daniel, she's hurt enough. I'll tell you everything," she implores as tears start streaming down her face. Daniel, relentless, insists, "Talk, and maybe I'll consider stopping." her voice shaky but defiant. "We were trying to escape. We had a plan to contact someone who could help us get out of here." Daniel smirks, pulling the knife away from Sarah's throat. "See, that wasn't so hard, was it?" he says, almost amused. Sarah, relieved that the pressure on her neck has eased, is gasping for br
In Daniel's office, a tense atmosphere filled the room as he mulled over the mysterious turn of events. "Sarah's sudden illness is too coincidental. Madeline never mentioned anything about her having a condition," he pondered aloud, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the desk. Determined to unravel the potential deception, he summoned both the guard and the doctor into his office. The guard entered, standing at attention. "What did you observe when Sarah fell ill?" Daniel questioned. The guard, visibly uneasy, stammered, "I, uh, didn't really pay much attention, sir. I was focused on getting help for her." Daniel's sharp gaze scrutinized the guard's response, but he dismissed him and turned to the doctor. The doctor, who seemed less perturbed by the situation, remarked, "Honestly, it seemed quite routine down there. As if they were accustomed to such occurrences." Daniel's brows furrowed in suspicion. "Accustomed? That doesn't make sense. Something's not adding up," he muttered to hi
Daniel sat back in his chair, a sigh escaping his lips, he found himself in a moment of contemplation. Tony, his trusted friend, had always been a loyal companion in the gang, never questioning Daniel's authority or plans. The sudden resistance from Tony left Daniel questioning his decisions. Staring at the dimly lit room, Daniel wondered if he had truly thought through the entirety of his plan or if his actions were driven more by emotion than rationale. He ran a hand through his hair, wrestling with the internal conflict of doubt. "Am I doing the right thing?" Daniel murmured to himself, the weight of uncertainty hanging in the air. He shook his head as if trying to dispel the doubt. The plan had already been set in motion, and there was no turning back now. He had invested too much to back down. As he contemplated the decisions ahead, Daniel recognized the necessity of finishing what he started. The consequences of what would happen if he failed, and he couldn't afford to let doubt
In the dimly lit prison, Stephanie, her curiosity piqued, asked, "So, what's Plan B, Jake?" Jake, explained, "Plan B is contacting Justin. He'll come with friends and get us out of here." Relief washed over the group. "But there's one problem." Jake adds and Madeline sighed, " what is the problem then?" Jake, revealed, "The problem is we need a way to contact Justin." Marie, voicing the collective frustration, groaned, "They took our phones when we came into the prison." So, how do we contact Justin without our phones?" Jake, thinking on his feet, replied, "We just need to get a phone without anyone realizing." Madeline, questioned, "How do you propose we do that? They're watching us closely." Jake, undeterred, stated, "We wait for a guard to come down here. Surely, one of them will have a phone on them. We can try to get the phone, send the message to Justin, and get it back to the guard " Marie, frustrated, sighed, "And how do we get a guard down here? Everything is getting more co
Madeline stares at Daniel still not able to grasp the fact that he betrayed her. She listens as he continues talking. Seated back in his chair, Daniel continued his revelation, a twisted pride in his words. "I got one of my guys to suggest selling drugs to Ashton. Predictably, he bought the idea. Little did he know, my guys were watching him. When he sold the drugs, they waited for the right moment, stole the money, leaving Ashton in a bind." Madeline, disbelief etched on her face, asked, "You set up Ashton to get him involved in drugs, knowing he'd do anything to protect Marie?" Daniel nodded, "I Ashton to owe a debt because I knew he'd want to protect Marie so he'd definitely send her out of the country and if their romance was as strong as everyone said it was she'd definitely want to help him and who better than her own twin sister to help her." Madeline, shaking her head in disbelief, muttered, "What happened to the sweet Daniel I used to know? How did you become this person?" D
The guards led to others out the door forcefully. Daniel gestures to Madeline telling her "take a seat." Madeline, standing defiantly, refused Daniel's command to take a seat. He sighed and decided to continue his story, as if seeking understanding from the person who once meant the world to him. "It was asking for help that brought me into this world," Daniel confessed, a somber tone in his voice. Madeline, though visibly hurt and confused, remained silent, urging him to continue. Daniel delved into his past, revealing a stark contrast to the life Madeline knew. "My mother and I weren't always rich. Her parents were so poor that they had to give her to her uncle, who was living alone, hoping he could provide a better life for her." Madeline, her eyes widening with a mix of surprise and sympathy, finally spoke, "I had no idea, Daniel. Why didn't you tell me all this before?" Daniel, with a bitter smile, replied, "Because I knew you wouldn't understand. Your perfect world and my strugg
The tension in the room escalated, the group grappling with betrayal and shattered trust. Madeline, her voice trembling, demanded answers from Daniel. "What is Marie talking about, Daniel? Why are you doing this?" Daniel, grinning with a sinister satisfaction, confessed, "Marie is telling the truth, Madeline. I never came back to Colombia seeking forgiveness. I came back for wealth, and you were my ticket." Madeline, bewildered, asked, "What do you mean, I'm your ticket to wealth?" Daniel, enjoying the power shift, explained, "The treatment for my mother's cancer drained our resources. I realized marrying into your family, taking over your father's business, was the only way to secure our future." Madeline, hurt and betrayed, demanded, "So, everything between us was a lie? You never loved me?" Daniel, unapologetic, admitted, "I needed you for my own gain. When I saw you with Jake, I became enraged. I was supposed to be the son-in-law, taking over the business. But you moved on, and I
