“If I find out that you had a hand in this, I swear to God, I would erase your whole generation,” Sebastian said through gritted teeth, fear dulling Piper’s gaze.“Men. You won’t believe it when a woman cheats on you. I have to go.” She swirled around and entered her car.The speed at which she drove out of the house made Sebastian even more suspicious of her, and he wanted to give her a chase.However, Madison was more important to him at the moment.As such, he did not stop Piper and turned the knob.The door was not locked, and it was easy to locate the bedroom where Madison was sleeping soundly in the arms of a familiar man. Her ex.Sebastian’s heart throbbed. He did not want to believe it.From how peacefully Phanuel slept as he held Madison to his chest, Sebastian felt both jealous and angry.Madison had accepted him as a boyfriend and had no right to go back to her ex without breaking up with him first.With that conviction, he went over, pulled Phanuel from the bed, and punche
“Did you do something to me?” Madison suddenly asked, feeling weak.She had no idea if Phanuel drugged and had sex with her, but her panty was intact, and she didn’t feel wet or anything.Not having a memory of everything that happened, she could not totally feel liberated.The question equally caught Sebastian’s attention, but Phanuel was now acting weird.“Why are you making me feel guilty? It wasn’t without your consent.”Madison’s heart sank, and she felt ashamed as tears blurred her eyes. “Where are my clothes?”“They are torn. Last night was wild and I planned to buy you some, but it’s late. Look, let’s get married and start a family. I have enough money,” Phanuel walked to her side and spoke but did not dare to touch her in Sebastian’s presence.Due to both parties being on different pages, Sebastian was still trying to detect who the liar was.Madison looked too betrayed to be guilty, but Phanuel spoke as if he had the facts.Madison’s responses to Phanuel kept hinting to Seba
A day ago, Phanuel was in the office when he was informed by the receptionist that he had a visitor.“Who?” Phanuel asked in annoyance. He was typically not in a good mood today and was not ready for just any random visitor.“Her name is Piper Henshaw. She said it’s about Madison,” the receptionist’s voice rang in his ears, rage boiled inside of him.Madison had told him about Piper’s annoying behavior when they were dating back then, and he had also heard about the bankruptcy of the Henshaws. So, what could she want from him?Phanuel quickly rushed to the reception, and indeed, Piper was sitting there, dressed elegantly with sunglasses.Was she disguising herself? Sunglasses would not be able to hide the bad name she made for herself, would they?“What do you want with Madison?” Phanuel asked directly, suddenly protective over his ex. Piper stood up and spoke straightforwardly.“Let’s go somewhere and talk.”Phanuel scoffed and stared at her with disgust. Not even the expensive cloth
Phanuel went to Gannon's Group and waited outside for Madison during her closing time. Keeping himself hidden, he saw her driving out and followed her. As soon as she entered the grocery store, he followed her inside. “Madison.”Startled by the familiar voice, Madison turned around to confirm the owner of the voice.“Phanuel, what are you doing here?” There was no warmth in her voice, and Phanuel was greatly pained. He used to have all her warmth before, but now, there was just a thin ice of acquaintance between them. Forcing a smile, he responded heartily. “Buying a few things.”“Okay. I left my phone in the office, so I have to hurry home.” Madison went about picking stuff she knew Sebastian would like. Somehow, he always wanted to enjoy her cooking, and since he surprised her with his presence, she did not have enough groceries.It was strange because they had not known each other for long, unlike Phanuel, whom she knew for months before they began dating. “Can you help me pic
Sebastian knew that the only person funding this was Rush. After all, he was Sebastian’s legal cousin.“Who?” Madison asked. Sebastian did not immediately answer. Walking over, he lifted her in his arms and walked out of the room.Phanuel thought he was safe, but before he could catch a breath, the cops rushed in and took him away.Sebastian began to speak after buckling Madison safely in the passenger seat. Now he would have to go get her car from the grocery store later.“Rush is my cousin. When my father married Michelle for me by contract, she did some digging. If I had not sent her away, I would have known sooner.”Michelle left the clues for Sebastian to come and conclude, but Madison was confused.“I still don’t get it.”Sebastian smiled and explained it calmly. “Rush was swapped by my fake cousin Amir’s mother, who also faked being my nanny. Amir’s mother paid an assassin to eliminate Rush, but the assassin got a good offer, selling him to a billionaire desperate for a child.”
Earlier in Florida, MiamiMichelle was woken up by the inviting smell of an English breakfast. She saw that Ezrah had already showered and was elegantly dressed.Forcing a smile, she lifted herself to a sitting position as Ezrah carried the tray of breakfast to her."Breakfast in bed, beauty," his morning voice sounded enchanting, but Michelle stiffened at the sight of the strange man before her.Having seen his cold side for the greater part of their relationship three years ago, it was difficult to accept this side of Ezrah."I'm not hungry. I have to go for my shoot," she made an attempt to avoid the breakfast, but he gently stopped her."You still have an hour, and the set is just ten minutes away. Please eat."Michelle was confused about how he knew her schedule as if it was written on her forehead and equally remembered what happened the night before.It was as if she was under some kind of spell when they had that talk, and she promised to think about it.Her mind was clearer n
“Sir, Madam is not feeling well," the butler of the Gannon mansion reported on the phone. The man at the end of the line spoke in a nonchalant tone."So, take her to the hospital. I’m not a doctor." The line died immediately. The butler was so pale, beads of sweat formed on his forehead.Zora relaxed her back against the sofa, feeling weak from abdominal pains. Trying to mask the pain, she asked hopefully. “What did he say?”The butler instantly put on a calm smile when he turned in her direction. “Madam, sir said he will meet us at the hospital.”Zora’s eyes lit up. Ezrah had not been home for almost three days, and she was missing him so much. This sickness seemed to be her lucky charm to get him to her side again. “Okay. Let’s go.”Zora’s heart warmed at the fact that Ezrah at least cared about his child. Both of them were caught in a scandal two years ago, so getting married was the only way to curb the situation.Ezrah’s stance was clear through it all. “When everything calms dow
Piper was very happy with his remark, but Zora was still Misses Gannon, the title Piper had long coveted.How she wished that night had not happened. If only that useless man had not appeared when she was about to leave for the airport to board the private jet, she would have been the one waking up in bed with Ezrah.It pained her that it had to be the whore, Zora. “Ezrah, are you sure you will divorce her?”Ezrah hated to be doubted. “You don’t believe me? I’m only with her because she’s carrying my child. As soon as he’s born, I will divorce her.”Piper smiled with satisfaction, and since she had mentally stored Zora's number after answering the call, she sent the recording to her.Remembering that the butler had called Ezrah informing him that Zora was sick, she asked after deleting the audio from her phone.“Can you go shopping with me? I didn’t bring enough clothes.”Even if Zora showed the audio to Ezrah, Piper would deny it as she had used a number Ezrah didn’t know to send it.
