The Billionaire's Second Choice: Running away with his kids. Chapter 81
~~Maddie~~I could feel my heart beating heavily. It felt like the world stopped and all I could hear were echoes.My breathing shudders, I could almost feel myself running out of air. I couldn't understand why I am feeling this way. It's not like I met this person.“Maddie, Maddie.” I heard Maeve's voice from a distance.“Maddie!” She screamed my name in fear. “I'm okay.” I said to her, I tried to even my breath, but it wasn't still working. “I just got an email from Detective Amy, she wants you to come down to the station.” “Why?” I ask her, with fear in my voice. “I don't, she didn't say.” Maeve looks at me with concern in her eyes.“If you don't want to, you don't have to.” She said holding my hands.“You know I have too.”“Okay,” she whispered, “I will get the car ready. Do you need me to call Renee?”“Yeah, and Cynthia. As my lawyer Cynthia is supposed to be there.” She nodded and went ahead, I walked behind her to the garage.My head was flooded with so many thoughts, I do

~~Maddie~~At the sound of the gunshot, we all bent down, and almost all the police officers in the station ran to us.I looked to my side, a man was on the floor in a pool of his own blood and an officer over him with his gun looking like it had just been fired.“Are you all Okay.” Rios asked, I just nodded, I couldn't get the words out of my mouth. My hands were shaking and my body was trembling. Richard held me and pulled me up, “you are okay now. It's over.” He said.“No it's not. They will keep coming after me and Renee.” “And the boys too, if they think they are a threat.” Maeve said.“He will be taken to the hospital, thankful the bullet didn't hit any vital organs, we will hear more from him once he is conscious.” Detective Amy said as we watched the paramedics roll the shouter out of our sight. We got to the entrance of the station to see Victor and Leo being led into the station, I didn't know when I ran to him, throwing myself around him.He brought his arms around me an

~~Maddie~~“Hey, hey. Sit down.” I took her back to the chair.“Can we have some water?” Renee asked the waiter.“Of course.” He said and hurryingly moved to get it.She started gasping for air,and holding her chest. The waiter brought the water and I gave it to her. After a while she felt better and we got up to leave, we put her in the middle of all of us.Renee was in front, she was behind Renee, I was behind her with Maeve behind me.We were almost close to the door when we heard her name.”Cynthia?!”We stopped in our tracks and Cynthia turned to him. I knew who he was.Even when I wasn't in the state, myself and Cynthia still spoke to each other.She was working for a rich family who had a son. His name was Eric. They both fell in love and Cynthia got pregnant along the way. This was a few months before I returned.Eric denied the pregnancy at the advice of his parents, who felt Cynthia was too low class to be married to their son. Cynthia I remember her telling me all this whe

~~Victor~~After what happened in the Police Station with Maddie, I felt really bad and needed to apologize.I bought some of her favorite foods along with some cookies for the boys and drove over to her house.“Daddy!” Aiden and Caleb jumped on me immediately when they saw me.“Hey boys, miss me?” I chuckled along with them as I played with their hands.“You haven't been around lately.” They said with pouting lips and puppy eyes.“I know, that's why I want to ask you to forgive me.” I brought out the cookies I was hiding behind me.“Yeee, cookies!” They rushed it immediately, I chuckled at the sight in front of me.As I watched Aiden and Caleb devour the cookies, I felt a mixture of joy and relief. I had been worried that they would be angry with me for not being around, but it seemed like they were just happy to see me. I felt a sense of peace settle over me, like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.Maddie's voice brought me out of it, “Aiden, Caleb, Uncle Matthew is here.”

~~Maddie~~It was the deal, date, the day I will meet with the people who had my grandfather killed and caused the death of my mother.Once I got the contract to L's Design. I will be one step closer in bringing them all down.I got out of bed this morning, I got into the shower and sat in the tub for about an hour. My life hasn't been the same from when I was born.I was born into this, born into suffering. Running away didn't stop it, only made it a bit longer and frightening.I remember when I drew for the first time. The look on my mother's face, it was one of happiness and sadness like she knew what would happen if I did pursue it.But I did pursue it, fashion designing has made me who I am today. Taking that away from me was like taking a piece of me.My Mom bought my first drawing set. She made me promise not to tell anyone. Anyone at all. I should have known from there that something wasn't right but I was young.Even her cancer, she never told me. She didn't want me to see he

~~Thea Moore~~“How come you get to earn for you to have a seat at the table that belongs to your family?” My guest asked me.“Not technically.” I said to her“What do you mean not technically, you said you have ways to get at my sister.”“Well, that is still true. But your step sister's grandfather owns the company technically.”“I think that word is starting to drive me a bit crazy.” I turned around to look at Stephanie, the one person that can help me stab Madison Thompson at her back without me lifting a finger.“Come on Stephanie, getting a little bit scared?” I said, mockingly.“Don't tempt me Thea. You know what I am capable of.” She said, pointing a finger at my face.“And I have a file of evidence in my computer that will implicate you in it.” I shunned her immediately.“Don't forget who came to you in the first place and remember it wasn't Mike Chandler.” That's right, I have been planning Madison downfall from the very beginning. She was very lucky I didn't get to her befo

~~Maddie~~I walked into L's Design to see Victor cozying up with the woman that just threatened me at my mother's grave.“I can't do this.” I tried turning around but Renee stopped.“You came here to get back what belongs to you. Now you want to walk away all before you can't stand your ex kissing someone.”“I can stand it, it's her I can't do with.” I said “If she is messing with your head, mess with hers.” Renee said.I nodded, “and it's ours, not just mine.” I said to her,“Well, you are the fashion designer.” She joked.We walked in and I saw Matthew wave to us, I looked at Maeve. She made a gesture saying she was okay with it.It wasn't enough that she was with Victor, she kept taking a glance at me.The presenter of the event came on the stage.“Welcome to the most expensive deal in the Fashion Industry. L's Design is looking for the most experienced Fashion designer in the country to walk with.” the presenter started the event.“We are going to be working with so many of you

~~Maddie~~“How did it get out?” I asked, my hands were already shaking.“I don't know.” She said, She was trembling as well.I placed my hands on my head, pacing around the room. How could this happen? The video only played for about a minute. I was still pacing in the room when the door was opened. All the people at the high table walked in. They all entered the room and silently stood, like they were waiting for someone.About a minute later, Thea walked in majestically. Renee and Cynthia immediately stood up from their seat and stood beside me.The look on Thea's face made my blood boil. She did this, she planned everything.She came to my mother's grave site, threatened me and if I didn't back down, she had contingencies in place. “What a bitch.” Cynthia whispered close to my ear.“Miss Thompson what is going on?” The CEO finally spoke.“My assistant system was compromised.” I said looking at Keekly who was sulking.“What do you mean Compromised? We all saw you in that video.”

~~Victor~~“Matthew! 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
The Billionaire's Second Choice: Running away with his kids. Chapter 184: Pregnant!
~~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

~~Victor~~I buttoned up my tux as I got out of the car. 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

~~Madison~~It felt like we have been driving for hours. The van doesn't seem to stop at each checkpoint.It just drives away like a crazy person. The van, not who is driving it. 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
