~~Maddie~~

I dropped the boys in school and drove straight to my office, my mind was racing.

How can Victor do this to me, why does he want to take my kids away from me? I mean why now?

Has he been binding his time this whole time?So he never forgave me for what my family did to him? Was me falling in love with him part of his plan?

Taking my kids away from me, I don't know how I'm going to handle that.

“Maddie, are you okay?” I heard Maeve's voice,

“Yeah, why won't I be?” I took my eyes away from her, not wanting her to see the tears in my eyes.

“I have been standing here for a while. And you seem so deep in thought. What's going on? Are the boys okay?” She moved closer to me. I backed further away from her.

“Maddie, it's me.” She said hoarsely, “we go through things together. What are you not telling me?” She asked.

I didn't respond to her questions, “what were you going to say when you came in.”

She shook her head in disappointment, I hate seeing that look on her face. “Mike C

    ~~Maddie~~“You can't take my son's away from me. I raised them.” “I'm their father, who do you think the court will believe more?” “Victor, all this can be sorted out.” I said to him in tears. “No, not with you kissing my enemy.” He looked up and his face was filled with rage. I looked behind to see Chandler, outside the building. I walked towards him. “You need to leave, you can't be here.” “What?Huh?What did he have to say?” He gestured with his face moving. Victor entered his car and stormed off. A lot of people were in the vicinity of the building taking pictures. “Follow me and I will explain everything to you.” “I'm not going anywhere with you. You were using me to get at him. We were never friends.” “You need to follow me now Madison.” Shock was written all over my face. He pulled out his phone, it was a video of my kids in their classroom, “my guys will put a bullet in them. If you don't do what I say.”“Why are you doing this?” The once calm face of Chandler was n

    ~~Victor~~I drove like a mad man, violating every traffic rule.I was full of rage, how could she do that to me, to us?I got to the office, ignoring any greeting I heard. I stormed inside my office, kicking the chair in front of me. I never for once thought Maddie could do this. Yes it was a stretch filing for custody of the kids. But it was for her protection. “Bro it's everything alright?” Mark and Alex walked into my office. Alex and Greta came back from their honeymoon days ago.“You stormed in, without saying a word to anyone.” Alex saidI looked at them, my throat dry. How do I explain everything that had happened to them?“You both need to sit down for this.” They both sat down and I explained in full details everything that had happened.“Wow!” Mark said“I knew Maddie wasn't who she said she was.” “I couldn't believe she could belittle herself like that.”“Until you saw it for yourself.” He finished my sentence, I just nodded in acknowledgement.“What about the boys?” M

    ~~Maddie~~“The transfer has ended.” The man in front of the computer said, his face was a mix of excitement and worry. He picked up a phone and made a call, “hello ma. Did he take the bait?” He asked.I couldn't hear what the person on the other line said. But the look on his face gave me an idea.“Now let's call that man of yours again.” I couldn't say anything, my face hurts from the bruises he gave to me. Chandler and Stephanie said nothing, they enjoyed and were in support of everything he did to me.“I know you are trying to pinpoint your darling Maddie position, you didn't think I would be stupid to let that happen.” He said arrogantly to Victor.“No,so what do you want?” Victor replied even more arrogant. How could he be arrogant when my life is on the line?“Good, I need an Immunity deal.” He stated, who the hell asks for immunity during a kidnapping.“For who, yourself?, You haven't told me who you are.” Victor said. “You don't know who I am, but you will soon.

    Victor“Doctor, will she be okay?” I heard myself talking to the Doctor.“The bullet just grazed her, she will be fine in a couple of hours.”“Thank You Doctor.” He left and I sat on one of the chairs opposite the room Maddie is in.I couldn't take my eyes off the door, I didn't want to go in because I don't know how she is feeling about me right now.I did some damaging things and said even more damaging words. She probably hates me by now.“Daddy!!” I heard some cheerful sounds running towards me.“Hey guys. What are you doing here?” I hugged them, patting their hair.“Aunt Maeve and Uncle Mark brought us.” Caleb said. “Why?” I looked up to Mark.“We just thought you could use their comfort.” They were right, seeing them both lightened up my mood. Being a father has been one of the happiest things to happen to me. I will be eternally grateful for it.“Is mama okay?” Aiden asked, I bent to his size, held his hands, “of course she is just resting.” “Sir,she is awake.” A nurse said

    ~~Maddie~~“For my children Victor. You are not the father of Aiden and Caleb.” Immediately I heard that I knew what I needed to do. I imported a software I got from a friend in Italy and called Maeve. This way this call won't be traced back to either of us.Maeve picked on the first ring, “penthouse.” I whispered to her. She cut the phone immediately. I know she will do what has to be done.When I was coming back to New York, I made a failsafe with Maeve and someone else Incase I needed to keep the boys safe from anyone.I heard footsteps towards my room. I hurried back to my bed. Pretending not to have heard anything.Victor came in with Kevin, “what's going on, who was that on the intercom.” He didn't say anything, instead stared right at me for no reason.“Victor, who was that?!” I screamed.“It's me darling.” I heard someone come into the room, I recognized the voice immediately.“You bastard!” I launched at him immediately, he came into sight. “Maddie, stop.” Victor tried ho

You are going to hurt yourself.” Victor tried to remain calm. “I won't let them take you.” I kept fighting with Stephanie.“Maddie, I will be okay. Just don't fight.” Victor said, but I was in no mood to listen. I kicked Stephanie in the leg, she fell back, wincing in pain. “You are going to regret that.” She stood up and came at me, she pinned me to the ground and forced me to lie still. “You think you can stop me?” I asked her, defiantly. “I can and I will.” She said, “What areyou going to do to her?” Victor asked Leo. “I'm not going to hurt her.” He said calmly. “That's not true and you know it.” Victor said, getting angry. “We don't have to do this.” I said. “There is no other option, my love.” Leo said, sound

They have taken over my assets and seized control over Reynolds company building.It has been a disaster, from the media, to court demands. Disaster is a simple word for it. It has been chaos upon chaos. Maddie has been the one taking care of most things, she even closed down her office. I was focused on taking back my company and proving the legitimacy of my children.Aiden and Caleb are safe with Maeve and Mark, someone in the county. After I was arrested, they moved from where they were earlier but we decided to know about it to keep them safe. “Haaa!” I heard Maddie from the kitchen, so I ran to her.“Everything alright? I asked.“I cut myself.” I sighed, she has never cut herself. The stress and thinking of the kids is getting too much for her.“Let me take a look at it.” I said. She held her hand up. There

My hands were shaking, and I still couldn't believe what I was seeing. Why will Dad keep this from me? Does Mom even know about this?” I was ransacking my head when I heard a noise outside the secret office.“Victor…” I heard a sleepy Maddie, “Victor…. where are you?” I came out of the secret space. She turned her head at the sound of the fire stand.“How?...” She looked confused, “what's going on.” I walked towards the couch where she was with the documents in my hands.“That's a secret from my father.” I pointed to the secret office.“Who Edward?” I laughed at her questions.“God I have so much to tell you.” I touched her cheeks, she reacted quickly closing her eyes.“What's going on Victor? How did you fit in there?”“I'm more powerful than I thought.” I said to her, “here.” I handed her the documents from my father.She read through e

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

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.

    ~~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
