An hour later, Madeline was sitting alone in the cafe and having a cup of coffee while waiting for her friend Jack to drive. Edward had left some minutes ago after telling her what he wanted and apologizing for his deeds. Just like she had predicted, he had asked her to take over Anny’s place in the company since she was the only heir he has. He had pleaded and pleaded with her but she had refused. She doesn't even know anything about business. All she knew was her restaurant then how was she going to run a whole company. What would happen if she doesn't run the company well and it ends up falling apart? That would be a lot of loss on their part. She had told him that she wasn't familiar with the business part and she doesn't have any desire to learn the business and so she wouldn't be able to grant that favor of his. She had seen the way his face fell after she told him she couldn't do it and his eyes dimmed in sorrow. He sure loves that company of his so much, doesn't he? He would
Yes, that was all she wanted from Anny. Whether she was the daughter of Edward Crayon or not, does not create a cause of action for her. She should stay away from her and all would be fine. She doesn’t want to ever see her face again. Not now, not ever. “Hmm… You're right.”The waitress came in with a cup of coffee placed on a silver tray and placed it in front of Jack before she smiled at him and left. Madeline smiled out of nowhere. It was obvious that the waitress had her eyes on Jack. Well, it wasn’t something new for Madeline anymore. To see girls crushing on Jack when they go out together. Back then in high school, they would go to the school canteen together and the girls would steal glances at him. He was beautiful, no doubt. He carries that girlish beauty that makes girls swoon and surround him. She wondered what they would do when they got to see the whole view of Elias Johan. Speaking about him, she has to leave soon. It was starting to get late already and she doesn’t wa
Just then they saw Madeline spill coffee on herself due to laughter and Jack grabbed her hands to clean it and blew on it. Immediately, Anny picked up her phone and snapped a few pictures. Lover birds huh? Did they both forget that she has a husband at home? Well, now that she has a few pictures of her and a man. It was going to be fun. These pictures are going to help her for now. This was going to help her for the now. Their smile widened when Madeline stood up and headed for the restroom. It’s about to go down. “Where is it?” Vincent asked her. “You know, I got this.” Raising her hands up a little she showed him a sachet with something boiling inside. “Omo. That’s gonna be big for her. I’m sure she’ll kill herself after this. Who gave this thing to you?“Ohh. My new pawn. I always get a new pawn every time, you know,” Anny laughed. “Who gave it? Come on, tell me.”“Evelyn did. Elias Johan obsessed crush. She wants me to get done with Madeline. I met her at an event and she was
Madeline screamed in pain. Anny’s eyes shone when the acid immediately took effect and Madeline’s skin swelled.“I've got you, Madeline. Go to hell,” she spat. Just then, the toilet door at the corner opened and someone walked out of it, staring at her in shock. They both stared at each other in shock. That was Madeline. How come Madeline was two? What was going on? No no… This can be true. Anny stared at the girl who was screaming and crying and who she thought was Madeoine and it all came to her. They only wore the same clothes. How come she never noticed that this girl was slightly taller than Madeline? She didn’t even have black hair. Her hair was dark brown. Just home come. How on earth she didn’t notice these changes? Her heart raced as the girl cried louder. With her cries, she was sure the security would soon arrive. What would happen if they sees her and arrest her? “Anny, what did you do to her?” Madeline asked in shock, her eyes darting from the lady to Anny. This scene
She felt extremely guilty that this happened to an innocent girl. Her face was damaged and the girls in the room had a hard time looking at her else they vomit. “Move aside everyone.” The security men finally arrived and checked around while they took the crying girl with them to the hospital. They had to check everywhere for the culprit. They took some of the girls along for questioning. Madeline walked out of the restroom after cleaning her tears only to see Jack outside waiting for her. “What happened Madeline?” He ran to her just as he caught sight of her as she came out of the restroom. He held her shoulders and examined her body in search of any injuries. “Why aren’t you saying anything? What happened Madeline?” He asked again in concern. “Sorry, I took long. Something went wrong inside. I have to leave now.”“Oh right.” He watched as the crying girl was carried out of the restroom by a security man and his brows furrowed, wondering what exactly happened inside the restroom
“No, you didn’t. Stop crying, okay? It’s going to be alright. Stop crying,” he moved forward and hugged her tightly while she cried on his shoulder. They stayed like that for a while, him patting her hair and giving her and hugging her. She found comfort in him and stopped crying before she raised her head to stare at him. “I…I love y..you, Elias,” she confessed, staring right into his eyes. Elias stared back at her in shock. He was shocked and delighted at her confession. His hands held her cheek. “Say that again.”“I love you, Elias.”“Again.”“I love you…”Before she could complete her words, his lips descended on her and gave her a passionate kiss. Their lips engaged in a romantic dance and their feet dragged back to the bed. His hands held her hair, positioning her head in a way where he could kiss her harder and deeper. He was so passionate in his kissing that Madeline moaned. His hands started moving and went under her shirt to touch her bare belly. “Fuck. My dress looks s
Elias sank his head into her thighs and gave a long hard lick on her throbbing core causing her to moan loudly and her hands flew to his head. She cried out his name when he pressed his tongue against her hardened pleasure spot and flicked on there repeatedly. She raised her hips and pressed his head against her crouch tightly as he flicked on her clit in reckless abandon. “Ahhh, Elias..please.”“When did you get this horny, Madeline? You're so wet down here,” he asked teasingly.“I..I... Ahhh!” She cried out. His lips were creating havoc down there as he sucked her throbbing clit. His lips moved downwards and thrust his tongue into her pussy making her scream lightly and clenched his hair. His tongue moved inside of her teasingly and his hands got hold of her hips which were moving rapidly now and she let out a cry of protest. Madeline’s breath turned ragged as she lay down, pulling at the pillow to muffle her sounds. Her body shook as he continued with the ministration of his tong
Loud knocking on the door woke the two love birds from sleep the next morning. They were cuddling in bed with Elias hugging Madeline from behind as they slept deeply before the knock on the door came. It was loud and was enough to wake them up from their sleep and groaned as they stretched.“Who the hell is that?” Elias yelled grumpily standing up from the bed and wearing his shorts before walking to the door. He opened the door slightly and brought his head outside to speak with the person who was knocking loudly at the door. It was Claire. She was frowning at him and her eyes looked tired. “Claire. Don't you know how to knock softly? If you're looking for what to break. You should have told me,” he scolded. “Now you blame me? I've been knocking since forever. How do you guys sleep? You sleep like a log and now you blame me for knocking harshly.” She knew she was being somewhat rude talking to him like that but what could she do? He was scolding her for knocking as if she wanted to
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
