“Hey, peacock, what are you doing here? Are you so broke that you had to come running back to daddy? Sorry, he’s equally broke, l"A girl in her late teens mocked Madison, her annoying voice making Sebastian want to strangle her, but sensing there was more to the situation, he remained patient in understanding the kind of family his future wife had grown up in.Despite his annoyance, he removed his sunglasses and glared at her.When their eyes met, the girl was taken aback.This was her dream man, not like those potbellied men her mother always set her up with ever since they squandered Madison’s father’s money through gambling.She was just the same as Madison remembered her, except that she was thinner than before.“Who are you, hottie?” She spoke in a seductive tone, met with a look of disgust from Sebastian.Madison felt that Sebastian’s appearance was revenge enough.Once upon a time, her stepmother referred to her as ugly and unfit to be a wife.She even went on to tell Madison
A soft sigh escaped Madison as she stared at Sebastian in admiration.“His name is Sebastian. The man I love.”She was not sure how he would feel after meeting her stepmother, so she said it.Sebastian ambled courteously to the middle-aged man in the wheelchair with a smile on his face.“Mr. Gold, it’s a pleasure meeting you.”His hand extended to the middle-aged man who seemed rather interested in his outfit, much to Sebastian’s amazement.“That blazer costs nothing less than seven hundred thousand dollars.”Sebastian was amazed that the man knew. “True.”Mr. Gold chuckled. “That means you are rich. Hey Madi, marry him. I’m useless and couldn’t protect you.”With her brows raised, Madison wondered if her father finally found out about her stepmother, but if he did, then why make excuses for her?Whatever it was, Madison was no longer interested.“Dad, stop talking, and stop smoking. I’m taking you to the hospital.”She snatched the cigarette from between his fingers and coughed a few
“But now, she’s rich enough to take care of me. In fact, I’m living off her,” Sebastian turned around and said, catching the awful expression on the faces of the mother and daughter.As expected, the woman was so enraged that she wanted to get physical like she used to do, assaulting and injuring Madison.“What a shame. You are good for nothing.”Madison laughed, drawing her stepmother’s attention as her father’s arm wrapped around her neck.Her sister stood at the entrance of the living room with a sorrowful expression.“Hey Madi, we are family too and we have been taking care of your father.”Realizing her daughter’s smartness, the mother shamelessly ran to their side, adding her voice.“It’s true. You should compensate us for taking care of your father.”Madison smiled calmly and responded. “He’s your husband, so that is your responsibility. As for me, I owe you nothing.”Madison had gone past those tricks and was not moved by them.That woman never spent a dime on her, rather using
Mr. Newman directed his attention at Madison. “How are you, young lady?” He asked softly as if he were not the one indirectly punishing his son a while ago.Madison smiled and responded. “Very well, Dad. You have a very beautiful home.”She couldn't help admiring the meticulously designed interior.The colors were perfect for his age.Her admiration saddened Mr. Newman a little, as his wife had supervised this décor herself.Due to that, he only maintained and never changed anything, as it reminded him of his late wife.“Thank you. So, before I welcome you, I have to know the relationship between you two,” he said seriously. Sebastian smiled bitterly.It was clear that his father was finding it hard to trust him in relationship matters.He also knew his father was doing all this because of what he did to Michelle.But Michelle had already forgiven him, so why was his father being so heartless?“Dad, Madison and I have been dating for a while now, and she’s the reason why I’ve been in N
Madison felt like this wouldn’t work.She loved Esther at first sight, but her father-in-law was terrible.Sebastian equally felt awful for his father’s behavior.After witnessing a bit of what Madison’s childhood was like, all he wanted was to give her all the happiness in the world.“Dad, Madison has been through a lot in life. If it pleases you, then just give me my daughter and take back everything else.”What he made on his own was enough to serve as the capital for him to start his own business and no longer sacrifice his sweat for his father.Nevertheless, when Mr. Newman saw the tears in Madison’s eyes, he felt that he went too far.He was just testing them with no intention of driving her away.“How do I believe you love her when you haven’t even kissed her?” He asked, stunning both Sebastian and Madison as he added.“She’s beautiful though,” he picked up his glass of wine and sipped, both Sebastian and Madison were confused.“Dad, what are you talking about?” Sebastian asked
Michelle sat in front of Ezrah and said to Lana, "Please excuse us for a while."Lana smiled and left as Michelle spoke seriously."I knew Madison's absence would make things difficult for you, so I brought my secretary to help. Trust me, she's good. As soon as Madison returns, I will be waiting to take her back."Ezrah was not keen on the idea because most of the work revolved around the EZ Group.However, seeing the excitement in Michelle's eyes, he didn't want to disappoint her and started thinking of a solution.He could let Madison focus on the EZ Group from wherever she was, and Lana could assist with the Gannon Group."Alright. I won't refuse your recommendation. Thank you," Ezrah said.He stood up and started walking towards her, with a desire in his eyes that Michelle recognized.She instantly stood up and ran to the door, looking bubbly and attractive."Not now, Ezrah. You didn't let me sleep last night, and you still want to tire me out here?"Having lived without her for t
Ezrah couldn't believe what was happening, but one thing was certain: he didn't care what Michelle was hiding.About to reach for the intercom once again, as he considered Lana unworthy of his attention, she quickly spoke up."Michelle is seeking revenge. I have proof here. Take a look. She wants to bring down the Gannons."She showed Ezrah a document on her phone, all in Michelle's handwriting, detailing her revenge plan.Strangely, Ezrah was not moved as he had a feeling that Michelle had a reason or perhaps, it was before they made up.Only a small frown creased his handsome face as he thought deeper.Even if Michelle was faking it, then she was only planning to destroy what he already intended to give her, and that was her business.And if things didn't work out between them, he still wouldn't let another woman in."If that would make her happy, then she should go ahead. But you, ugly thing, should leave. There is nothing beautiful about seducing another woman's man and dressing l
Michelle desperately desired him after the pleasure he gave her, but Ezrah had stopped there, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.“What did you understand by punishment? You should have allowed me to do it earlier when I asked for it.”He also wanted her but was trying to prove a point.Frustration took over Michelle, but she tried to coax him. “Come on, I was just in a good mood.”Ezrah had finished dressing up for her and sat beside her. Throughout the ordeal, his clothes were still intact.He asked seriously. “So, are you going to put me under pressure every time you are in a good mood? I’m very curious because I don’t want to ever see you sad.”Michelle reminisced over his words. It made sense that she should not have put him through something like that.“Alright, I’m sorry but can you please finish up? I won’t do that again.”Her humility only increased his love for her.The fact that she accepted her mistake and apologized for it.“Because of your promise, I forgive you b
