Madeline's POV

Slut! I knew she was always pretending.  

Can't believe we trusted her.  

My daughter named her her role model at a talent show last week! I am so annoyed.  

The comments on several videos and pictures that had my face on them were annoying as fuck. I gritted my teeth reading through the comments, hating what it had come to.  

This was all Avila's fault! She had caused the fucking ruckus! Everyone had seen the video of her attacking me and it annoyed the shit out of me that no one was blaming her for smacking me right in the face.  

What the hell was their problem?! They all were acting like they had never done a thing wrong in their lives. Fucking hypocrites!

I could feel my blood boiling as I scrolled through the endless string of comments, each one more hurtful and causti

    Madeline's POV"Hello John," I murmured through the receiver."Hello homewrecker," John replied and I could definitely see him laughing or grinning. I'd bet he found my predicament quite hilarious at the moment."Quit it," I hissed through my teeth, angry at the way he'd behaved. How could he call me that? Homewrecker?! All because of a stupid woman who.knew nothing more than shoving her hands in people's faces."Oh come on," He taunted. "Don't be a spoilsport. You should see all the names you're called. Some are quite colorful. And some are just plain terrible. Once again America has demonstrated its lack of intelligent life.""I guess that makes you stupid, just like the rest of us," I scoffed. Why had I bothered calling John? He was a dumbass."I wouldn't be so quick to judge," John chided. "You know me

    Adam's POV"Well that went well," I grumbled, stepping out of the boardroom with mother in tow. She had a grave look on her face. One that she had through the entire meeting, even when she had spoken about her decisions.I couldn't blame her. She was shaken. I hadn't seen the news until Mother had rushed into the boardroom a few minutes before it started, looking like she had seen a ghost.She looked white as hell. I didn't like it. Hell thinking about it now as we walked down the hallway towards my office, made me feel queasy. I had been terrified when I had seen her look all pale and thrifty and then I had been even more terrified when it looked like she couldn't speak."Mr Stone? The meetings with the marketing and publicity team?" Lillian called as soon as we reached my office. "Oh hello Mrs Stone,""Hi Lillian, how are you doing?" Mother g

    Tom's POV"Where is the report from the design team?" I asked my pathetic excuse of a secretary. She trembled before me as if I held a knife in one hand instead of a document."Ah, it's... It's on the way,"I frowned. "What the hell does that even mean?""I mean," she blubbered. "I had asked the design team and they had said they would send it in as soon as they could.""And I'm guessing that isn't soon enough? And quit shaking like a damned fish!”She flinched at my sharp words but managed to stammer out, "I can... I can call them again if you want, sir."She was useless.She ought to have called them a long time ago dammit. What the hell had I hired her for? I knew I should have gotten a male assistant.I waved her off impatiently. "Do that. And make sure th

    Tom's POV"I don't understand what you're saying,"I was in Finn's hideout. The gnarly one that was found downtown New York. The same one that made my skin crawl every single time I walked into it. Not because it repulsed me. But because it reminded me too much of the past.The past before Tom Harrison that got married to Eve. It wasn't a very sightly one. And I hated anything that reminded me of that past. Anything like the tall buff men standing at the door, laughing among themselves behind me.They had laughed the same way when I stepped out of my car and walked into the house. As if they knew something I didn't know. I didn't like the feeling that was caused in my stomach. Made me feel queasy and weak, like a fucking pathetic fool.But the last thing I was, was pathetic. I had sacrificed so much to get to where I was. I had done all I

    Tom's POV"Why are we going to a hospital?"Somehow I felt foolish asking a question like that. The men around certainly made me feel even more foolish because they laughed like a bunch of hyenas.Barlow jumped to his feet, scrunching up his face so that his pig nose stood out. "Come on Tom, don't be a Ninny,""You're a ninny!" I snapped, rising on my feet. "You just announced we were going to a hospital. I don't understand why?""I thought you'd rather not know," Finn shrugged, walking towards a shelf on his wall. "Just do as I say and everything should turn out fine.""That doesn't sound very comforting," I grumbled. I knew I was entering a shady deal with him, or that I was knee deep in it already. I just didn't expect he would be shady about it as well.Dragging out a drawer from the she

His wife had come to the company I was to attend the stakeholders meeting and caused a scene, nearly clawing my face off in the process. Vicious Avila Kelly. Vicious bitch!I couldn't afford to let my guard down, not even for a moment. First I had to do all but worry about the scandal and how it would definitely affect Isabella Stone's view of me. I hoped that it wouldn't.But yet I couldn't bring myself to see her. I had stayed cooped up in my house until I was sure I would go mad.As much as I wanted to unwind and enjoy the spa day that I had gifted myself, I knew I had to make a decisio

    Adam's POV"You're done with all of them?"My assistant gasped, staring at the pile of documents that stood as tall as her on my desk. Hell if I were in her shoes as well, I would be surprised. But I had done the work. I sat through every single one of those documents for a week and I knew exactly how backbreaking working on them had been."You know Lillian, a true assistant would not sound so shocked. I've been on them for a week." I said, feeling quite proud of myself. It had been pure madness, but running a five star company was pure madness in the first place. Along with all the unwanted attention that came with it."There were six hundred documents, Mr Stone. They were supposed to last you two weeks if I remember the schedule correctly. Doing that amount of paperwork in a week is insane. How are you even talking right now?"I laughed at her word

    Eve's POV"Eve!" Tom bellowed upstairs. I dropped the ladle I had been using to mix the porridge and sighed. What was it now? What did he want? He had woken up in a foul mood that morning and so was determined that everyone else had a bad mood as well.I glanced behind me to see Nuren, our maid, wiping the dishes with a sour look on her face. I couldn't blame her, I was close to crying, myself."Eve!" Tom bellowed again and grudgingly, I walked out of the kitchen to see him standing on the stairs that led up to our bedroom."Yes Tom,""Don't "Yes To" me!" He snapped, half dressed with his white shirt and black suit pants. There was a tie hanging off his neck, halfway done. "Where's my tie?!"I frowned, cocking my head to the side. "What tie?""Don't give me that dumb look! I told you to pick

I gripped the counter, hanging on, waiting, anticipating.Cold air whipped against my exposed skin as he yanked down the dress and tossed it aside. His breathing was ragged as he trailed kisses down my arched back, to my ass.He let out a hiss, smacking the cheeks, sending painful thrills up my spine and down to my pussy."Adam," I moaned, pushing against him. "Oh please, please."‘Ah fuck, I love it when you beg," he mumured huskily, giving me another smack. Heat pooled between my thighs and my juices spilled down my thighs. Another smack and soon he had me writhing and mewling begging him to give me what I wanted. What we both wanted."So fucking eage

    Adam's POVI watched Eve walk side by side with her mother on the patio. It had taken a great deal of work and patience to convince her mother to come. I had to send the video of Tom molesting Eve to her and that seemed to change everything.That seemed to reveal the truth.They seemed fine now, happy.They had hugged and held each other for hours, weeping buckets while I stood there watching. It tore me to bits, seeing her cry. But she needed it. I knew that."You did good," Mother said, joining me on the balcony where I stood. "I'm sure you've made her very happy.""Thank you mother," I murmured while taking a sip from my brandy. "That was the goal.""Oh," my mother arched her brow in a manner that told me she had something else to say. "And the goal

His very familiar touch."Mhmm," I purred, moaning softly as his hands stroked my arm."Are you up, my pet?"Oh I was . I was now. I had spent the past few days in Adam's arms.But as much as I enjoyed his presence,I feared that it would all end. I tried to push away those thoughts, telling myself that I was just being paranoid.As I opened my eyes, I saw his face looming over me, a smile playing on his lips. It sent a shiver down my spine and a soft sigh slipped from my lips. Adam leaned in closer, his eyes darkening with desire. The air between us crackled with tension.“Hey,” I whispered.“He

    Eve's POVAdam drove us down to his house. Nuren had cried her eyes out when he had announced to everyone else that he was taking me with him. With the way she had cried, you would think Adam was carting me off all the way to the moon. But I was sure she was only too happy for me.The drive was quiet. And yet it felt so... Peaceful. The days after the incident at the warehouse had felt like that. Slow and peaceful and it was good.In the meantime.His house... Scratch that, his mansion was huge!The gate creaked open as we approached, revealing a long driveway lined with blooming cherry blossom trees. The mansion loomed ahead, its grandeur taking my breath away. Adam guided the car to a stop in front of the massive oak doors, and I stepped out, feeling small against the backdrop of opulence.“I thought y

    Adam's POVFour days. They passed by in a blur. I couldn't remember much about what happened, but I could remember how I felt every single second.Afraid. Terrified. Devastated. Nothing had prepared me for what I had seen. Nothing had prepared me to lose Eve.When Tom had shot her, I was pretty sure I went mad. It had taken Micheal and the police to pry me off a bloodied Tom by the time I was done. The ambulance took its damned sweet time to arrive so while I called the pilot to the private jet, Micheal had checked her wound and helped do first aid. And I had held her in my arms on the flight home.Pale. She grew pale rapidly. Her pretty skin had lost its color until she looked so drained it terrified the shit out of me.I could feel the weight of her in my arms, her breath shallow and weak against my chest. Panic surged thr

    Author's POVWell duty called.Micheal Hamilton sped down the road that led outside New York city, a happy grin on his face. One would think he was on his way to attend a freaking birthday party with how excited he looked."Will you stop grinning like that?" Adam who sat in the passenger seat said with a concerned look. "It's fucking creepy man."Micheal chuckled and took a sharp turn at the same time, earning a glare from his best friend. It had been a while since they left Isabella Stone mansion and frankly he had expected Adam to rain down his questions.Instead, his best friend behaved as typical as anyone would expect Adam Stone to. He sat in the passenger seat quietly, occasionally glancing at him. If Micheal had to guess , he would say Adam was trying to connect the dots and figure out who or what he was exactly.

    Adam's POV"Your mother says, your little miss Eve is hanging around somewhere,"Those were the first words Micheal said when I met him at the gate. He had the damned cocky grin on his face as if something permanently amused him."Perhaps I do," I chuckled, slipping my hands in my pocket. "With that grin on your face, I'm not so sure I want you to meet her.""Oh please, I have to. I need to know the woman who makes you do the craziest of shit," Micheal crackled, walking ahead of me into my mother's house."Try not to say shit when you meet her,""Shit like what?" he asked innocently and I just knew he was going to try something crazy when he saw Eve.We stopped by Mom's study to say."Hello, boys," Mom greeted us with a warm smile. She looked

As if he had the right to.Now it all seemed to be clear. To be so fucking clear."Take her to the spot," Barlow ordered, jumping in right after me. "I'll signal the men."After a whole damned argument session with Barlow, he finally agreed to help. But what could possibly be much more valuable to Adam Stone? If we could get him to take back the charges and then say he had come up with the fake proof and lied that we were trafficking then everything would be solved.There was nothing the word of a billionaire could not accomplish.
