last update Last Updated: 2024-03-20 19:09:01

~~Madison~~

“We have reasons to believe you are behind the fire of the school.”

Those words came to me as a shock. The fashion show seems to have stopped and everyone's eyes were already on us.

“Officers, you have to be mistaken.”

“Ma'am you have to come with us to answer some questions.”

“Okay, I will come with you.” Meave and my assistant Keekly came over and carried the boys.

I was already beginning to think it was a mistake bringing them here.

I stood up and in a swift motion, I felt handcuffs in my hands.

“I agreed to follow you and talk.” I protested.

The female detective came close to me. “We aren't here to talk.” Then she spoke loudly. “Madison Thompson, you are under arrest for arson.”

There was a loud gasp in the room, a lot of people wanted to get a picture of me.

“Where is Mama going?” I heard Aiden ask Meave.

I tried to look back but the detective push me out, acting like I was her everyday criminal.

“Please, you have to believe me. I didn't do this.”

“That's what they a

    ~~Victor~~I was surprised Madison allowed Michael to help her. Even though she missed his name which was cute by the way.She whispering thank you to me was the highlight of my day. “So where should we go?” She asks, “my office is bugged.”“You haven't removed it?” Renee asks her.“Hey! I'm taking some time off. And you weren't here either.” “Well, I deserve that.” Renee said.“I have a place,” I said and everyone looks at me. “I don't think Thea knows about it.”“Well lead the way handsome.” Cynthia said and I smiled.“What about the boys? They will need a place to sleep.” Madison asks “My place has some bedrooms.” I said to her“Define some.” Greta said.I sighed, “you will see it when we get there.” I said and began walking out of the police station.“Where do you want to put the boys?” I heard Greta asking Madison.“Uhhmm, we will drive with Victor.” A small smile appeared on my lips. I walked back and took Aiden from Greta.“I will sit in the back with them.” She says as we

    ~~Madison~~We had left Victor's mansion and now we are home.I still can't believe I kissed him. I rolled to the other side of my bed. The kiss kept replaying in my head. I have never done anything like it.Be the one to make a move but I couldn't stop myself.I badly wanted to feel his lips on mine. I badly wanted to feel his warmth on my face.I badly wanted his arms wrapped around my waist as the kiss deepened. I didn't think my feelings for him were still this strong, well up until last night.“I need coffee.” I jumped out of bed, trying to block that scene off my head. I could hear some noises in the kitchen and the smell of pancakes.“Good morning.” I greeted Meave. She looks back at me and smilie.“Good morning. Coffee?” She asks.“Yes please.” I told her.She pour a glass from the jar and added sugar to it.I gulp everything immediately.“Are we trying to forget something?” She says in a low voice.“No!” I shot at her because I knew what she meant, “we are trying to get ahea

    ~~Madison~~After my screaming I inhaled a lot of breath. “Hey, can you take the car to the court garage?” I said to Matthew.“Of course.” He left immediately.“What do you mean he should take the car?” Renee asks, “isn't Steven driving.”“He is.” I said.“You wanted him away.” Cynthia said.“I do.” I said laughing and they joined me. Honestly I don't know why I even bother, or why he bothers. I can't see him for anything other than a friend.Sometimes I feel pity for him because he tries to hard. Maybe Meave was right, maybe I'm just ignoring him with confronting the whole issue.“What are you going to do about what Meave called you about?” Renee asks.“Nothing.” I said, walking. They both look at each other and met up with me.“What do you mean nothing?” Cynthia asks.“Nothing, means nothing. Right?” I said, slowly. I took the turning to the parking garage underneath the courthouse.“You need to do something, Thea can't win.”I turned to look at them, “oh she isn't winning. But I'

    ~~Victor~~“Welcome home, bro.” We all cheered to Mark. He just came back from a business trip from Iceland and he landed a good deal.“Cheers to you, Victor, for giving me the opportunity. I will be in the gutter right now if not for you.” He raised his glass up.“Cheers to you too, you did all the work.” I said and we all laughed.“Take your eyes away, Daddy Twins.” He slapped Alex's head.“Wha?! Why can't I look.” He says rubbing his head.“Because you have a beautiful wife at home.” Michael said.“Who happens to be our sister.” I said to him, holding the whiskey bottle in a fist.“Okay, okay. I will turn around, only.” He said pointing at us, “Only because I love my head and my babies.”We all busted out laughing. We were in one of my clubs downtown. It was one of many I own.Fortunately, Leo didn't know about it until I had changed the name and some other details.“So how was family dinner?” I asked Michael.“It was cool, is Edward usually that nice?” “Not when you call him Edwa

    ~~Madison~~The day of the sun hit my eyes as soon as I opened it, sending shock waves and a massive headache through my body.I looked around, trying to gain composure beside still laying down. I didn't recognize the color of this room painting, so I looked at the side table. There are no pictures of Aiden, Caleb and my Mom.“Where am I?” I muttered. I still couldn't get up from the bed, I tried to move my legs and a sharp feeling between my legs directed me not to.That was when I remembered, “shit!” I muttered, I looked to my side and there he was in all his glory. He still looks breathtaking while sleeping, which man does that? A person who could take your breath away by just sleeping.I struggled to get home and hopped into the bathroom, hopefully they have hot water and they did.I showered, taking in the warmth of the water when I fell hands on me.“Holy shit!” I screamed, “you scared me.” I said to him.“And it's not funny.” I tried smacking off the smirk on his face.“You ar

What does good mean?”I smile, then I brought out a frown, “why will be talking about my sex life with my brother. It was good.” I pause for a second, “and it still feels good.”He hit my chest, “that's what I'm talking about!” He screamed.I look at him, he is not usually this chatty or wanting to know about my sex life.“What's going on?” I ask him.“What do you mean?” He asks, his focus is now on the road.“You are chatty, you are an arrogant son of a bitch who isn't chatty but you

Maybe now the cameras will look to her side, back that's what they did.“This man is the man you use to embarrass my client with a sex video that wasn't real.” Cynthia kept on pressing her buttons.“Except it was real, it was your own sex tape with the same man.”The jurors' faces were filled with surprise. “So I'm going to ask you again, Miss Moore. Do you know this man?”She didn't look up, “I don't know.” She says.“How can you not know the man you slept with?” Cynthia asks“We only slept together once.” her lawyer Sloan slammed his hands on the table.I'm thinking she shouldn't have said that, “so you agree you slept together?” “Yeah, whatever.” She replies.“So do you agree you made a video of your sex?” Cynthia was trying to get her to admit to her using the tape against me.“Yeah, we made the tape and I used it to embarrass Maxis because that's what competitors do.” That was too easy, “but there are ot

They were both scared and shaken up.“We don't have to tell you anything.” He says.“You and you three. Search the house, take anything of value and round up anyone that is supposed to be here.” He says I decided to bait him, “so who are you working for Leo.” Everyone looks at me immediately, “Our Mother or Thea.”He took off his mask, “got you.” I said to myself.“I woke for no one but myself.”“But this wasn't your idea, wa

I'm right here.” As I said those words it felt like some sand particles were dropped into my throat.I kept walking deeper into the mall but I didn't see him, just some of his minions pointing guns at me from across the wall.“Well, well.” Matthew came out clapping his hands with a smirk on his face. It was taking everything in me not to run towards him and see if I could end this once and for all.But nope, I have to think of Madison and the kids.“Why are you doing this Mathew?” I asked him.He shrugged his shoulders and then stared at me. “How does it feel to be the lesser man right now?”“I don't understand you.” I said to him, trying not to jump out of my skin because of the weapons close to me.“Madison needs a bigger man and right that isn't you.” He said.“So you are the bigger man because you are holding a shopping mall hostage?” I asked him, sounding disgusted.He placed his two hands in front of him, “anything for a reunion with my girl and my boys.”“

    ~~Victor~~I stood in front of the giant window in my office. Marveling at the sight of the city from where I stood.This city has taken a lot from me. It has also given me plenty of reasons to keep on fighting.I took out my phone and opened it. My wallpaper showed Choice. Madison likes calling her Miranda.I know that's her name but I prefer, Choice. She makes me think of the different ways I will choose to protect my family even if it means giving my life for them.She looks so pretty in this picture and peaceful like she doesn't have any care in the world.“Turn on the TV!” Alex shot at me while he barged into my office.“Oh please, come in.” I said sarcastically.“Just turn on the TV!” He yelled“Okay.” I said softly. I turned on the TV and it was showing a mass shooting in a shopping mall.“Is this any of ours?” I asked him.“No, but Madison and the kids are in there.” He said.I felt numb and the whole world seemed to stop moving. The sound of the remote falling down brought me

    ~~Madison~~It feels like the world is finally in our favor. Our lives have been filled with so much joy and glamor that sometimes I begin to doubt that I went to some certain things in my life.Life has been good. My career has been flourishing and so has Victor's. He has opened fourteen more branches in different parts of the world.Mark and Meave left the country because Mark is overseeing some of the branches. That was after we found out his fiance wasn't a real fiance after all. She was fake and used to trick Meave.She nearly killed him when she found out but I'm happy she found someone to love her just the way I am loved.Cynthia is living her best life with my step brother, Philip, who is in the race for Mayor of the city. She has been helping him with his campaign and so have we in our free time.Renee and Michael are having a blast, especially with Isabella. They looked so lovely and happy. I'm so glad she found me and I found her because I wouldn't have made it out of some

    ~~Madison~~I froze as I felt water trail down my thighs. A gasp escaped my lips as I realized my water just broke. Panic swelled in my chest as the wetness clinged to my skin and I struggled to control my panic. “Vi–Victor.” I stammered, feeling the fear in my throat.“You are fine.” He said holding me. “Steven is outside, I will go get him.” He said, trying to leave.“No, no. Don't leave me alone.” I said to him. I held his arms.“Okay.” I took a sharp breath, taking in the pain hitting me every ten minutes and counting.“We are just going to the car.” He said.“I don't think I can!” I yelled at him, digging my fingers into his arms.“Yes, you can.” He said.Each step brought a sharp pain to my legs like I have ever felt before.It wasn't like this with Aiden and Caleb because it was a C-section.“We are almost to the door.” Victor said.“Go, get Steven.” I said to him.“Are you sure?” He asked, “it's just a few steps.”“Get him!” I yelled at him. I don't know if I meant too or did

    ~~Madison~~It's been a few months since my step sister kidnapped me and held me hostage for ransom money.These last few months I have been trying to heal and also grow a human being inside of me.Finding out I was pregnant came out with mixed reactions. I was glad I got to give my boys a baby sibling but on the other hand I was scared another enemy will come after us or maybe Stephanie will break out of prison.Holding this picture of myself and Stephanie in my hands reminds me of when we were little. How we did not have any evil in our mind. All we wanted was for our parents to give us sweets and treasure.“Hey, you have been staring at that picture for a while.” I heard Victor's voice behind me.“I know.” I said, putting it back in the box. “My Mom gave it to me during the trial.” I said to him.“She shouldn't have done that.” He said, sternly.“I know, but it's okay.”“No, it's not. They might be your family but all they have wanted to do was hurt you. The only person who made am

    ~~Victor~~I heard the door open and closed then I saw Renee walk towards me.She squatted the same way I did and placed her head on my shoulders.“When I found Madison. I thought she was going to be mean to me for having spent time with a dad that loved me. And I will be mean to her because she had our mom.” She said.“But even with all those thoughts in my head when I saw her it just flew away because she brings so much light out of her body. And maybe because her first reaction to seeing me was calling me mom.” We both laughed.She held my hands, “Madison is strong. With everything she has gone through. She is strong and capable of handling herself against that evil woman.”She scoffed, “I never understood why she still refers to Stephanie as her step sister but I see it now.” She said.“Why?” I asked her “Because she believes in love, you made her love. So you have to believe in her. Believe in her to survive.” She said.“Thanks Renee.” I said to her.“Don't just thank me. Get up

How can one victory lead to another problem?“What–do you mean?’ I stammered, I could feel sweats on my forehead including on my eyes.Everything was in motion but I wasn't understanding it.“He needs to get his phone out.” I heard Renee's voice but it sounded so far away.I watched as Bethany was taken away by the police. Our eyes met and she seemed to be sympathetic.I turned my hands into a fist and released them. I did for about five minutes. It's a trick Edward taught me to do whenever I'm scared and right now I'm pretty scared.“Victor, we have to go.” I heard Alex say, loud and clear.“Yeah, yeah.” I got up and rushed out of the room with all of them racing behind me.There were a lot of reporters everywhere. My security spotted us and came to our rescue.“Mr. Reynolds, is Bethany behind this?” A reporter asked.“Have you seen the video, Victor?” Another one asked.“What video?” I blurted out.“Just let's g

Mark and Michael guarded me up to the inside of the court while my security helped Renee and Cynthia.My Mom had to excuse herself from the case because of her conflict of interest which is me. “Thanks guys.” I said to Mark and Michael.“Are you ready for this?” Alex asked me.I inhaled sharply, taking in as much air as I could.“Yes, I'm ready.” I tapped his shoulder.“Hmm, Victor.” Renee called me. I turned around to look at her.She and Cynthia were giving me the same expression they give to me before we entered the courtroom.“This is the most crucial part of this case. And it will be the end of you like I tell you to.” She said.“I will.” I said to her.“I don't need that. You have said that countless times and still misbehave. Today you are going to swear it.” She sounded serious.I laughed, so did the guys but their expressions didn't change.“Oh you are serious?” Michael asked.“I'm dead serious.” Renee said to him. “I

Maybe who hmis driving it I could feel my wrist getting numb because of how tight the ropes are tied around my hands.I could breath because the bag over my head smells like feaces or something else. I don't know but if makes me choke and neousous.I didn't know if I should scream or kick the van until I'm able to get out. This isn't my first rodeo in getting kidnapped but have been dreaming everyday for the past week how Stephanie is going to make me suffer. Thinking straight has been thrown off the table.The van suddenly came to a stop. I heard people get down and the back of the van was opened.“Get down!” I heard a very deep voice say.Asking them for help will be a mockery to me. They are definitely going to laugh so there is no need.I struggled to lift myself up and I did. I got out of the van and th
