Before long, the black trailing car caught up with them and again hit the back of their car. Elias tried to increase the speed of the car but he couldn't. He continued matching the accelerator in anger and when the car’s speed didn't increase but even slowed more, Elias came to a realization. His car was being tampered with! Someone played a trick on his car and is still playing that trick. Damn, bastards. He turned to look at the car’s side mirror and saw the black car behind him with someone holding a flat small machine. His doubt was confirmed. His car was being played with. Goodness. How could he let his guard down and made someone take advantage of his calmness during this period? He felt like squeezing someone’s neck and snapping it like a twig. He kept trying the accelerator but all to no avail. Elias stared at the woman beside him and sighed in relief. She wasn't crying or trying to make him stop. She was just calm although there was so much fear in her eyes and he could tell
The moment Madeline’s butt landed on Elias’s crotch, she stiffened. Her eyes fell on his face and saw him squeeze his face and swallowed a sound. The movement of his lips made her eyes fall on them and it drew her into a trance. She felt her eyes on them and her mind suddenly telling her to do something which she really didn't understand. It was telling her to join their lips together. Of course, she knows what that means. What she couldn't understand was why her mind telling her that and why was her heart beating as if running a marathon race.It was beating so hard and fast and she had no means of controlling it. She slightly jerked when she felt something poking her bottom. What was that? It was so hard and feels long making her wonder what on earth was that. Deciding to ignore it, she relaxed on his lap forgetting about the surrounding and the situation they were in as the bullets firing had stopped some minutes ago. She watched as Elias drew his face closer to hers and
Madeline folded the torn piece into two before wrapping it around his arms.“Ughh,” Elias groaned in pain as she finished trying his wound and stopping the bleeding. “Sorry,” she muttered, little droplets of tears falling from her eyes at the sight of his wound. He was in so much pain. She was sure about that. “Why are you crying, Maddie?” He asked, shocked. Was it that she was scared of blood? Maybe. That was possible. What made her cry? She didn't cry when bullets were flying around like food so why was she crying now? Goodness! Women are confused beings. “Y-you are hurt. It's bleeding so much. What if it over bleeds? Is it painful?” She asked, her face stained with fresh tears.After hearing her words, Elias burst into laughter. Funny. So funny. Though it felt good seeing her care about him it was also funny. Her reactions were cute even with tears stained face.“It's not, sweetheart. This is the least painful right now so
Succumbing to the call of his chest to her hand, Madeline brought her shaky hands forward and ran them over his chest. She touched it from the top to the bottom and smiled at the feel of his body on her hands. Further poking his abs, she giggled. They were so strong and the more she touched them, the more they grew stronger. ‘Gosh! I feel like a damn pervert now. What the hell am I doing? Madeline, snap out of it, damn you,’ she scolded herself. Even with her scolding and desire to remove her hands from his chest, her body just won't listen to her and her hands kept doing what they were doing. Unbelievable. She couldn't believe she was the one doing this. Her cheeks reddened and her heart pounded. She wondered what she would do if Elias woke up and caught her assaulting his body. She would surely die of embarrassment and wouldn't know how to ever face him again.“Why is he sleeping like a log of wood? It’s morning already and he should have woken up by now. I need
“Xoxo. Mrs. Johan looks so gorgeous in that dress. Haters, fuck off,” another comment read. “Madeline keep it up. We can see Elias loves you a lot. Ignore these jealous fan girls.”“Much love, Mrs. Johan. You’re so beautiful in the dress.”“I’ll probably throw her eggs and tear the dress off her if I was there. Too bad I wasn’t. Tsk.”Madeline quickly left the article and slumped on the bed after reading a few more comments. Jeez! Was this how it felt being so popular? Yes, she has been popular but this was just so overboard. She would probably die of depression if this continues. The hatred and love of the media for her were 50:50. 50 were for her and 50 against her. She was going to try her best and stay away from the eyes of the media from now on. Those fan girls of Elias who probably do not like her might throw eggs on her if they see her on the way. *****~IN THE JOHAN FAMILY HOUSE~“Hahahaha, this is so funn
“You only know how to talk and not bring ideas. Well, what you said isn't wrong. I can also do that with my family’s help. My mum in particular. I even wonder why my family hates Madeline so much, not like I care though, I'm just wondering.”“True. Now that you said it, I'm wondering too,” Lisa spoke. She looked at the faces of the two people on the same bed with her, and she noticed the slight change in her sister's countenance. “Wait! Sister Evelyn, I think you know. Please share with us,” she pleaded. “I don't know anything and even if I do I won't be able to tell you, girls. It's against the rule of the organization.”“Really? That’s why you can’t tell your sister and scheming partner?” Trying her luck on Evelyn, Claire asked. She knew Evelyn wouldn’t be able to tell them anything no matter their pleas with her. It was against the rules of the organization and an oath was taken. If it was found that she leaked confidential information to them even if it’s a member of the family,
Elias’s eyes slowly opened and he scanned the familiar surrounding. He tried to sit up on the bed with the support of his both hands but only ended up groaning at the stinging pain from his arm. It hurts a lot and he couldn't even move roughly because of it. “Ugh. These arms of mine have suffered a lot. I've been shot more than 10 times in these arms. I wonder why it still hurts. It should have gotten used to the pain by now. Maybe it should get wounded for like six more times before it gets accustomed to it.,” he complained, finally sitting up on the bed. Picking his phone from the bedside table, he looked at the time and gasped. It was 10 am already. Thank goodness it was the weekend and he wouldn't have to go to work. He would use the weekend to have a little rest before Monday again. Though he had little work to do like finding out the bastard who dared to send his little dick boys to trail him and ended up shooting him on his arm. It definitely wasn't h
Concluding that her father doesn't mean any good to her, Madeline dropped her phone back to the bed and decided to go check up on the kitchen. Right! She had totally forgotten about her husband and the fact that she had to feed him and give him his medications. She should go do these things and then come have a rest. It has been a stressful week and desired some rest this weekend. Going out of the room in which she slept that night, she climbed down the stairs and walked into the kitchen. “Chef Min, isn’t the soup ready yet?” She asked. “Yes ma'am. It's ready and I cooked it just as you asked. I’ll serve it to the master’s bedroom right away,” bowing his head a little, the chef answered. “Oh don't worry about that. Just dish it out and I'll take it there myself.”The chef quickly did as she asked and serve the light soup filled with vegetables and fish. He served other meals with proteins and made a cup of hot milk for the boss. After
She searched Elias’s eyes for truth but found nothing. She doesn't know if to believe him or not. “Is she alright, doctor?” Elias asked. “Ahh, yes. Everything is fine.” The doctors decided to leave the couple alone and walked out of the hospital room. “Stop crying okay? Adalyn is alright.”“I'll stop crying.”“I'll bring her to you, hmm? Don't cry anymore.”He cleaned her tears before getting off the bed and walking to the other side of the room where little Adalyn lay with her eyes closed. She was obviously asleep. He carried her carefully in his arms and brought her to Madeline who readied her hands to carry her baby as tears of joy filled her eyes. “You’ll fall sick if you keep crying like this sweetheart.” Before she could take the baby from him, he retracted his hands. “Elias, give me my baby,” she whined. She was so eager to carry her baby in her arms knowing that she was fine and everything would return to normal. “Not until you stop crying. Clean your tears and I'll give
They all stopped at the realization that a cliff was right behind Anny and one step from her and she would be gone along with the little baby girl in her arms. Madeline almost fainted at the sight in front of her. She could feel her tears flowing freely and her eyes closing on her. If Genevieve wasn't holding her right now, she would have dropped on her knees as her legs were weak. “Anny please, don't do this,” she begged. Anny swallowed. Behind her was a cliff. She might die if she makes one wrong move. The thing is that, whether she gives them the can't or not, she was going to die. If she gives them the baby, Elias surely won't let her be. He was going to make her life a living hell for daring to kidnap his half day old baby. If she didn't give them the baby, she was also going to die as her feet were at the end of the cliff. One move and she was gone. She wasn't going to die alone. If at all she does here, this baby was dying before her. They must feel pain for their baby and re
“If you move any further, then I won't hesitate to shoot you,” Elias warned. He watched as the woman stood still as he pointed his gun at her while moving slowly closer to her. Abruptly, she turned the situation around and placed her hands on the child's neck while staring at Elias causing his eyes to widen. “Move any further and I will not hesitate to kill you daughter,” she warned. The child was crying very loudly by now and Elias stopped at her warning. Abby laughed at that. Now he would know who was the boss here. She was holding his crying daughter and that made her the one with the upper hand. Any move of his now, she was going to throw the baby to a side and while their focus was on the baby, she would run away. At least to save herself.“Who are you and what do you want?” Elias asked. “I guess you can’t recognize me. Look deeply. Stare at me for minutes and you would know who I am. I was really so close to you guys. Look, come on.”Elias’s mouth fell open as he did as she
The imposter ran with all her might away from the hospital when she saw that she was found out and Elias’s guards were coming after her. She ran with all strength in her. If she passed the road, they were going to get hold of her. Worst, the road was kind of secluded that day and cabs were not passing through the road. How was she going to get away from the guards who were almost getting to her? Her legs took her into the bush and she clutched the head of the baby to her chest and ran into the bush that has thick trees and roughy. Her feet moved quickly as she was desperate to get away from the men on her trail. “This damn baby. I should just strangle it to death,” she muttered as she kept on running. “But if I do, I’ll remain broke and won’t make any money. But with this baby, I’ll make a lot of money and pay for my plastic surgery.”Suddenly, she stopped and pulled her wig and face mask that was making her uncomfortable and her eyes hardened. The lady’s head was bald with no inch
“Okay, that's good. Talk to him and call me later.”Elias finished his call and slipped his phone into his pocket before walking back into the hospital room. His eyes scanned the room for the nurse who just came in and he frowned. Where the hell was she? The tray she brought in was there lying on the side of the bed and the nurse was not in the room. These nurses these days were surely lazy. Feeling something off in the room, his footstep accelerated as he walked to the baby’s crib and his eyes widened in shock. “Goodness! Fuck.”He immediately opened the door of the room and asked. “Did the nurse come out?” “No boss, is something wrong?”“Fuck! The baby is missing.” Their eyes widened as they heard what the boss said and immediately, they ran to the room and one of the guards called for backup. “Search every nook and cranny of the room.” Sweat broke out on Elias’s skin as he ran his hands through his hair. How exactly did this happen under his watch? There was no way that he cou
“Adalyn Johan,” the grandfather muttered. The focus of the family was solely on the baby that they didn't notice when Madeline fell asleep after watching them banter about her baby. “Grandfather already fell in love with the baby, I'm sure in years, Adalyn would be running around him.”“That's true. See how carefully he is carrying her.”“Adalyn is so cute that father can't help but love her.”“Grandfather is now a great-grandfather.”The people in the room remarked on the care with which the grandfather held the little girl. He held her like a trophy. A special trophy. He resisted the urge to thank the mother of the baby for giving them such a cute bundle of joy. Adalyn Johan was a bundle of joy that brought the whole family together and ended the animosity between them. Her birth was a blessing. He made a mental note to thank the mother of the baby after this ends. He was going to thank her and ask for forgiveness for his wrongdoings. The baby passed from the grandfather to Elias’
“Date of birth, November 16, 2022. 4:18 pm,” the doctor declared. “Wahhhhhhh, the baby’s cries were the only noise in the room as the nurses cleaned him a little before placing the baby on the chest of the new mother who patted her back and bend her head to stare at her before turning to look at Elias who was smiling at her. Their eyes gave many expressions as they smiled at each other while staring at the baby who had stopped crying. Elias stared at the baby on Madeline’s chest and his heart filled with indescribable emotions. Their princess was here. Their own baby. The baby who they were going to give all their love and affection to. Their very own firstborn. The nurses came to Madeline’s side and took the baby from her to go wash and dress him up. “You did well, sweetheart,” Elias whispered into her ears and cleaned the drop of sweat from her forehead before. He could see that she was tired but still wanted to hold her baby and feed her before succumbing to darkness. “Our bab
“Isn’t it time yet? It’s been hours already,” Madeline cried as she rolled her hips on the big pregnancy ball that helps with childbirth. It’s been a month already and her water broke some hours back when she was sleeping. Elias was the one who noticed it and asked her so they rushed to the hospital. But here they were, fourteen hours already in the hospital but the doctor was still saying that it wasn’t time for her to start labor yet and she still has to wait for a few more contractions. She has been having contractions for fourteen hours now and the doctor still tells her that. The cramps and pains were making her almost go crazy. “Just some more contractions ma’am. It’s not yet time,” the attending nurse answered. Few more? That was what they have been saying for hours now. And this stubborn baby refuses to start coming out. Just as she was about to lash out at the nurse, she saw Elias coming towards her with a can of water in his hands. “Here, have some sweetheart,” he opened
“Want me to show you the gift I got for you?” Elias asked, walking Madeline out of the house, her eyes tied with a white cloth. Their guests were gone already and just the two of them in the condo. Elias held her hands and guided her steps as she couldn't see. “Where are you taking me?”“You'll see.”He guided her to the open garden at the back of the house and stopped. “Ready to see your gift?” “Stop wasting time already and show me the gift.” Her curiosity was top-notch right now and she so much wanted to see what exactly he got her that was different from the others that he had to bring her somewhere apart from inside the house to display. She was so curious to see what it was. “Okay then, are you sure you're ready?”“Elias... I am. Open my eyes already.”“If you say so.” His hands moved to her eyes and removed the white cloth. “That's your gift.”Her eyes widened as she stood frozen on the spot and stared at her gift. Goodness. This was what Elias got? Her mouth opened agape
