The Billionaire’s One-night Stand Chapter Forty-four: The Feelings
Author’s POVMadeline turned around excitedly thinking it was Daniel but came face-to-face with Aaron. Aaron has been on her neck for weeks since his arrival into the school. One reason why she didn’t want to give him a chance at being friends with him was because in the few weeks he had joined the school, he had become one of the most popular guys in school and walked with a certain popular clique.In fact, he was made quarterback of the school’s football team and always had the school’s most beautiful girls, especially the school’s queen bee, Jessica, around him. Madeline didn’t want to become friends with the school’s most popular student because she didn’t fancy the attention it might bring to her. She rolled her eyes at him, causing him to chuckle.“Don’t roll your eyes at me, Mads,” Aaron said.“What do you want, Aaron?” Madeline asked.“You know what I’ve been asking for. Just give it to me,” Aaron said.“Well, I said no. I don’t want to be your friend. In what other language

Author's POVMadeline's heart skipped a beat as she turned around to see her mother, Anne coming down the stairs."Mum, what are you doing here? I thought you and dad were supposed to be back in a few days time," she said, not failing to express her shock. "Well, the meeting didn't take as long as we had thought it would. We had to return early because we missed you and Marie so much. So now, back to my initial question. What are you asking your aunt Gemma not to tell anyone?" Anne asked. "Well... Ummm…Uhmmm"For a minute Madeline stammered, attempting to think of a plausible tale to cover up her true secret. She was aware of her mother's keen perception. Seeing that Madeline was struggling with what to say, Gemma decided to chime in. "Oh, Anne, that's nothing. Madeline and I were just talking. You know, aunt-to-niece talk.

Author’s POVMr. Johnson’s face changed from irritation to deep concern when Madeline mentioned her father. Mr. Johnson knew full well the weight that the name Lucian Hawthorne had in the city.

Mr. Johnson knew that if Madeline reported to her father and Lucian decided to withdraw this helping hand towards the school, the school and everything would crumble to the ground. He sighed and continued, “I know you’re worried, Madeline, but rest assured that we’ll take Aaron’s actions more seriously. I’ll discuss it with his parents.”Madeline nodded, accepting the answer with some measure of satisfaction. She was aware that if the school failed to respond appropriately, her father, Lucian, would undoubtedly take matters into his own hands. Lucian had a reputation for being tenacious and guardin

What's the emergency?" Kiama asked, looking worried sick."Who do we need to beat up?" Daisy said, taking stance as if she was about to fight.Instead of saying anything, Anne and Lucian smiled at the three ladies. Seeing the smiles in their faces, the panic and concern on Anne's friends' faces reduced."Judging by the smiles in your faces, I'm guessing there's no emergency," Kiama asked, her face more relaxed."Oh, there's no emergency," laughed Anne to her friends. "In fact, we have some wonderful news to share."After exchanging bewildered looks, Gemma, Daisy, and Kiama returned their focus to Anne, Lucian, and their girls.With a proud smile, Lucian declared, "We're expecting a new addition to the family."At first, the ladies didn't understand what Anne meant by that statement.

Author’s POVMadeline looked up at her school principal, eager to bear what he was about to say.“I can’t do that; he committed an offence and he has to be punished for it. If I reduce his suspension to a week, students will think I have become weak and would take the school’s rules for granted,” principal Johnson said.Madeline scowled, obviously dissatisfied. She attempted to strengthen her argument.“However, Mr. Johnson, Daniel took the necessary steps to shield me from Aaron’s abuse. It was a bold deed. Is there anything we can do to decrease his sentence? I’ll see to it that he realizes how grave his acts are.”The principal paused to think about what she had said before answering.“Madeline, I recognize your worries, but for the benefit of all kids, we must enforce the school’s policies. There are no exclusions for me in this instance. Daniel’s suspension will continue to be implemented as planned.”“But…”“There is no but means Hawthorne. The two-week suspension I gave Daniel

Lucian asked with a harsh voice.His heart was beating really fast and he was at the verge of breaking down but he tried to calm himself; he wanted to be strong for Anne who was already wailing."We looked everywhere we could possibly look. We even checked out the homes of all their friends but they all claimed that they hadn't seen them since after school hours. But you shouldn't worry sir, they probably got stuck somewhere because of the rain. I'm sure they'd be back home soon," the cops said.Lucian was pissed by the cop's last statement. How can he ask him not to worry when his children are missing? Although he was upset by that statement, he tried to understand that the cops meant no offense and just meant to put their mind at rest. Lucian's jaw tightened as a wave of terror and wrath passed through him. "Detective, please make all the necessary plans to find my children. My wife is expecting and the kids are out in this r

They were sure they had seen those pajamas before.“That pajamas, I think I’ve seen it before,” Anne said.“Yes, Ma…” Daniel started but Madeline cut him short. “He had to go home last night to get a change of clothes,” she said.She had hoped that her parents wouldn’t see through her lies.

Aren’t you going to school today?” Lucian asked.“I’m not going to school today. I got into a fight at school and was suspended,” Daniel said, now seated at the table with Hawthorne's family.There was a brief moment of silen

The Billionaire’s One-night Stand CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN: DANIEL'S LOSS
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.

The Billionaire’s One-night Stand CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX: DANIEL KNOWS ABOUT THE PLAN B
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.

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
The Billionaire’s One-night Stand CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE: PLAN B (2)
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
The Billionaire’s One-night Stand CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR: PLAN B
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
The Billionaire’s One-night Stand CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE: A LITTLE OF JAKE'S PAST
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
The Billionaire’s One-night Stand CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO: REVEALING HIS TRUE INTENTIONS
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 Billionaire’s One-night Stand CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-ONE: CONVINCING MADELINE
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 Billionaire’s One-night Stand CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY: DANIELS INTENSIONS REVEALED
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
