~~Victor~~

It has been an incredibly stressful two days, the longest of my life.

Ever since Maddie revealed that I am the father of her kids, I haven't been able to think straight.

With Aiden kidnapped, I feel like I'm losing my mind. Just a week ago, I was lying in the hospital poisoned; now I have twins, and one of them is missing.

I could feel the world falling apart around me, and there was nothing I could do but wait for the investigation to unfold.

I made calls to all my contacts in the FBI and police. We didn't go through the usual channels because Maddie believes there is a mole in the city police department.

"Any news?" Alex and our friend Mark entered the office.

"No, there isn't a lot of ground to cover."

"I still think it was a wrong call not to involve the police. Greta thinks so too," Alex said.

"Yeah, but Madison doesn't trust the police," I replied. "Madison, huh? We on a first-name basis now?"

"Stop it, Alex. A child is missing. His child," Mark said, pointing at me.

    Maddie:It has been weeks since Aiden's kidnapping, and I'm trying to move forward, attempting to be there for Aiden.After he rested, he kept asking where we were and why we weren't at our house.I tried explaining whose house we were in, but he wasn't having it.“I don't want to stay here; I want to go to our house,” he said one morning as I made them breakfast.“We can't go now, baby; it isn't safe yet.” I tried to explain.He took the news of Victor being his father harder and wouldn't speak to him, unlike Caleb, who cherished Victor, and they were both getting along.“I'm not like Caleb; I didn't like it here.”“I know, baby; don't worry; we will soon leave.”That's what I keep telling him, but leaving isn't in Victor’s preview any moment from now.I remember the night I asked him, or rather told him, the time for us to go back to our house.“You spent six years with them; let me be there for them. For you too.”I pulled my hands away from it because of the tension I was feeling.

    ~~Maddie~~By the time I got home, the boys were already asleep. I went into their rooms and gave them a goodnight kiss.Aiden mumbled, “I love you,” in his sleep. I smiled.I changed from my office wear, took a hot bath, and wore a bum short and a see-through singlet.According to the time, Victor would be home for a while, and by the time he gets home, I will be asleep.I got downstairs and saw a sidelight on; I didn't remember putting it on.I got closer, searching the dining room.“You look nice.” I startled at the sound of the voice.“Victor.” You scared me.“What are you doing in the dark?” I asked him.“Not in the dark.” He said sarcastically.“Dark enough.” I replied sarcastically. I looked at his face, and there was sadness written all over it.“What's going on?”“What makes you think something is going on?” He answered rudely.“I will just go.” I said.“Don't leave, Madison.” His voice sent shivers like cold streams into my body. I found myself moving closer to him.I sat on

    ~~Victor~~“What the hell, man? You just froze up,” Mark said, hitting me.“I didn't freeze up,” I said, glaring at him.“You better put your eyes on the road, freezer boy,” he said, laughing hard.I put on a cold face as I watched him laugh.“I didn't mean to freeze up; I just didn't know what to say,” I told him.“So you agree you did freeze up?” He asked, laughing.I rolled my eyes at him and faced the road. My mind went back to the previous night.Her lips were quite softer than I remember, and her ass, god, it grew bigger.I wasn't going to sleep with her without earning her trust. I need her to give herself to me because she's in love with me as I am.I can't count how many times I walked back to her room. I was so turned on and aroused, but I needed her to feel me the same way I want to feel her.“Lover boy, you just missed the checkpoint,” Mark said laughing, as I came back to reality.We got to the venue for our presentation. The deal entails the building of many buildings an

    Victor"Is she okay?" I asked, my voice trembling."I don't know," Keely said. "The police said they would call us when they know more."I felt like I couldn't breathe. I needed to know that Maddie was okay. I couldn't imagine life without her."I need to go to the hospital," I said, my voice barely audible."I'll take you," Keely said, her voice shaking.We got into my car and drove to the hospital.When we arrived, we rushed to the emergency room. I felt like I was going to pass out. I had to find out what happened to Maddie.We went to the front desk and asked for information about Maddie. The receptionist looked at us with a concerned look on her face.“I'm afraid I can't give you any information,” she said, her voice apologetic. “You'll have to speak to a doctor.”“But please,” I pleaded. “I need to know if she's okay.”The receptionist looked at me with sympathy. "I understand, but I'm not allowed to give out any information. I can page a doctor for you, but that's all I can do.

    ~~Maddie~~I turned to him; his hands were clenched into fists, and I took a step back, noticing his heavy breathing. "He might be involved, Maddie. I need to know the truth," Victor explained, his tone strained.Kingsley, bloodied and disoriented, managed to speak, denying any involvement. I looked at Victor with a mix of disbelief and disappointment. "This isn't the way to handle things, Victor. We need to let the police investigate," I urged, my voice calming but firm."You should listen to your baby mama, Victor." I turned to Kingsley, shock written all over my face."How do you know about that?" I tried speaking, keeping myself from stammering."Well," he said with a smirk on his face, wiping the blood from his mouth, "not much of a secret, is it?""I will kill you." Victor charged towards him."That's enough, Victor!" I screamed.Realizing the gravity of the situation, Victor reluctantly stepped back, his anger subsiding.The office was tense, and I, still shaken, took control o

    VictorI opened my eyes, still lying on the bed. I can recall how I got here.As I sat on the bed, a nagging headache came with it, and the events of last night flowed through my brain.I sat for a while to regain myself. I then picked up my phone to view my notifications.The first one was from Madison, so I opened it. It was a voicemail. “We want to stay with Daddy, Mama.” That was Caleb and Aiden. A smile came on my face.That was the first time they called me that; I didn't know when tears rushed down my face. I was so happy.Another notification came in; it was from Stephanie. “Thanks for coming, I had a lot of fun tonight.”“What?!” I screamed, standing up from the bed. Another wave of migraines hit me.I don't totally recall last night, but I know Stephanie and I didn't happen.I rushed down to the living room, Maddie and the kids are usually at the dining table eating breakfast. But they weren't this time.I rushed to both hers and the boys' room, but it looked cleaned out.Ma

    ~~Victor~~I arrived at the office dressed in a complete tuxedo, complemented by my Rolex wristwatch and Prada shoes."What's that on your face?" Greta asked. I touched my face, puzzled."Is that a smile?" She asked sarcastically.“Victor Reynolds, you are smiling.” She nudged me.Greta, Alex, and Mark all laughed. "What's poppin', bro?" Alex asked playfully, punching me."Can we focus on the matter at hand?" I said, pretending to be angry."There he is, my grumpy, angry brother." Greta hissed and walked away. We all followed suit."How's Maeve?" I asked Mark."Who's Maeve?" Alex asked; that's true. He doesn't know about it either."She's getting better," he said with a smile on his face."Hurry up, boys, we are keeping them waiting," Greta said as she entered the conference room.We entered the conference room, and everyone but one stood up."Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Reynolds," the sound of my name came from everyone's lips."Please be seated, everyone," I said to them."Mr. Reynolds, we ar

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.

    ~~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

    ~~Victor~~It felt like the earth was spinning in different directions. 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
