The Love Triangle Chapter 254
That was the pact Yeneth and Yahir had struck up the day before.Madeline was at a loss for words. She knew Yahir very well. The guy was a certified heartthrob, always with a crowd of girls around him. Yeneth's pact might be tougher to keep than she thought.Yeneth laughed off the concern. "Don't worry. There's nothing I can't handle."Fair enough. Madeline could not argue with that confidence."I'm still over at Oralia at the Fergusons' place. Swing by and get me?" She had not intended to head to Silver Leaf Studio at all, but Yeneth's request changed her plans. She had to be there for her.When Madeline finally caught up with Yeneth, she found out that her friend had already started her workday bright and early."Any nasty rumors floating around the office?" Yeneth brushed off the question with a wave of her hand. "Sure, there's been some chatter. But it's all trash talk about York. I even scored some sympathy points." Turns out, nobody expected her and Madeline to still be
The Love Triangle Chapter 255
Madeline gave Lydia a quick look, cool as a cucumber.Right then, Madeline almost wished Lydia was actually expecting. That would light a fire under Trevon to get their divorce wrapped up quickly.Lydia's smugness, though? That was totally uncalled for."Mrs. Yagle likes you, which is lucky for you and for me. Good luck," Madeline said with a hint of irony, then she turned on her heel and walked away without another word.She caught a glimpse of Lydia, stone-faced as she went back to Riley, but her smile snapped back on like nothing happened.Yeneth was biting her lip with worry. "She's so close with your mother-in-law. What if people get the wrong idea? That can't be good for you, right?"Madeline just shook her head. "Doesn't bother me."What was so great about hanging out with Riley, anyway? All she did was boss her around, treat her like a maid. That was the real insult—not just to her pride, but it was also running her ragged."Just ignore them," she said.Then a server p

Trevon shot a quick look at Madeline. Her blank face sent an odd pang through his chest.He looked down, gathering his thoughts, but before he could say anything, Riley was already there, shooting Madeline a death glare.Madeline just stood there, silent.Riley brushed past Madeline, grabbed Edith's hand, and said, "Mom, why didn't you give me a heads-up about your visit?"Madeline stumbled from the shove, and Trevon's reflexes kicked in; he reached out to catch her.Madeline's first instinct was to jerk away from his touch, but she toned down her reaction, mindful of the public eye, and just subtly shifted away without a fuss.To Lydia, it looked like Madeline had been nudged and then played it up, acting like she had fallen into Trevon's arms and was too clingy to let go.A shadow flickered in Trevon's eyes as he clenched the pearl-encrusted clutch in his hand a little tighter.Edith was not at all pleased with how Riley had interacted with Lydia. She gave Riley a frosty look

Stephen's face soured in an instant. He forced a smile and said, "Come on, what are you talking about? If anyone's going to dance with you first, it's gotta be me, your big bro." Sadie was not having any of it. "Bro, you're hardly ever here. You don't even know the local moves. Trevon's got this."Stephen's eyebrows knitted together in a silent warning.Sadie pretended not to notice and turned to Trevon with a smile, "Hey Trevon, could you help me out here?"She seemed oblivious to the fact that Trevon was off the market, his wife standing just a stone's throw away.The smile slowly drained from Edith's face.Before Trevon could even get a word in, Stephen grabbed Sadie's arm. "She's just kidding around, you know how kids are. We've got to head out and celebrate Wasyl's big day. Catch you later!"Without waiting for a response, he whisked Sadie off.Edith shook her head as she watched them go. Kids these days...She bit her tongue, instead turning to Trevon with a suggestion,

Madeline tensed for a split second."Don't worry, it's just a blackout," Trevon reassured her, patting her back.It was not fear that had made her stiffen, just a knee-jerk reaction.They were lucky to have moved aside earlier. Guided by memory, Trevon led her to a nearby pillar to lean on.Caleb's voice cut through the dark. "We've lost power. Please stay calm, everyone. The backup generators will kick in soon."The lights flickered back to life shortly after his announcement, and the music began to play once more.As her eyes adjusted, Madeline's gaze met Caleb's across the room. She offered him a small, reassuring smile, which he returned with a slight nod.Then, suddenly, her view was blocked by a large hand, and she spun around."What the heck?" Madeline demanded, yanking his hand away.Trevon's eyes were soft as he looked down at her. "Didn't want you to be dazzled by the sudden light," he said quietly.Madeline was fuming. She stomped on his foot, hard, and spun around

Madeline was at a loss for words. Where on earth did Sadie pick up these drinking table one-liners?Stephen shot her a look, thinking she had spoken out of turn.Sadie just shrugged, giving Madeline a challenging look.Madeline grabbed the water, gave it a quick sniff, and realized it was nothing but plain water. She took a cautious sip."So, Ms. Ferguson, do you believe us now?"Sadie was too quick; Lydia did not have a chance to intervene. Seeing Madeline take a drink, Lydia did not want to cause a scene, so she just clenched her jaw and kept quiet.Sadie seemed a bit more at ease after Madeline drank. She turned to Stephen and said, "Happy now? I'm out of here."Stephen sighed and trailed after her.Madeline glanced at Lydia but did not bother with small talk. She just took her cup and headed off to find Yeneth.Lydia watched her go, unsure whether to follow or stay put. By the time she decided, Trevon was nowhere to be seen.Yeneth was full and was half-heartedly chatting

Who knew where Lydia got that drug, but it packed a punch.Just a tiny sip and it hit her like a freight train.Madeline, leaning on Trevon for support, stumbled out the Jabs family's front door, her mind already foggy, just going with Trevon's guiding forceHer thoughts were turning to mush, but she gritted her teeth and pushed through. The baby inside her was her biggest worry. So, even though every touch from Trevon was hard to resist, she kept a sliver of her mind clear.Once they were away from the crowd, Trevon scooped her up in his arms.Madeline did not fight it; she clung to his neck, breathing deeply, trying to fend off the heat raging through her. The heat came in waves. Feeling the discomfort in her belly, she grew more scared for her baby and tears silently fell.Trevon's heart clenched, and he whispered, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."Madeline just blinked in surprise, biting back any sound.Caleb rushed out after them. "What's going on?"Trevon
The Love Triangle Chapter 261
Madeline's eyes widened as she grasped his meaning."No, I can't do that," she said quickly, her body instinctively pulling away.The baby was only twelve weeks along, still so fragile. What if something went wrong? Her rejection felt like a dagger to Trevon's heart. Did she prefer Caleb, the outsider? The mere thought made Trevon's blood boil with a murderous rage. He would never allow it. No one else was going to lay a hand on Madeline. She belonged to him."If we don't do this, you won't be able to find peace," he said, his voice firm.Trevon was untying the strap at his collar and, with a mischievous glint in his eye, gently wrapped the strap around Madeline's wrists despite her look of utter disbelief."Don't worry, this will be over before you know it.""Uh…" Madeline tried to speak, but her words were stuck in her mouth...It took a while, but the room finally fell silent.Madeline caught her breath, her eyes blankly fixed on the ceiling, her mind a million miles away.
