The silence was deafening; the only sound that could be heard was the rhythmic beat of their hearts. Every breath felt like a struggle. The silence felt like a heavy presence, suffocating them.He kept his eyes fixed on her, his gaze intense, as if looking for answers in her eyes.Madison could feel the weight of Liam's stare; the intensity of his focus made her heart race faster.She adjusted her seat, returning his stare."Still waiting for a response, Madison," Liam finally spoke after the long silence. "What is going on? I need to know."Madison stared into the fading sky painted in shades of gray, concealing her emotions like a mask."These past few days have been quite the rollercoaster ride for me, you know," a sad smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, "with challenges that have tested my strength like never before."Liam could see the pain in her eyes, even though she tried so hard to hide it. He felt his heart racing with sadness."Madison, I can't tell for sure what you
The aroma of freshly grilled beef filled the entire kitchen. The chattering voices of the ladies could be heard rising above the sizzle of hot pans and the clink of utensils as they fixed breakfast.It was a weekend, and Jenna couldn't be happier. The work has been really hectic. She was thankful for her cousin, Madison, who was finally finding peace.Madison had displayed great strength—more than Jenna could ever imagine. Although she knew Madison was fond of hiding her emotions, she didn't let it get the best of her. Liam had been just the savior Madison needed at that time, and she was thankful he showed up when he did."So, tell me, what's going on between you two now? Has he kissed you yet?" Jenna teased Madison with a wink.Jenna's wish had been for Liam and Madison to take their "friendship" to the next level, but Madison seems to be the one holding back."Come on, Jenna, I already told you, we are just friends. Nothing more." Madison rolled her eyes in frustration.If this wer
The world around them had vanished, leaving them in a world of desire and burning passion.The tension between them was palpable. Madison could feel her heart racing in her chest, and she knew Liam could feel it too. She could feel the heat radiating off his body as his hold on her tightened, causing a tangle of desire that left her trembling in his arms as she surrendered to the sweet sensation his wet kiss was stirring within her.Liam deepened the kiss with fierce hunger, his tongue delving deep into her mouth, consuming every inch with his passionate assault, possessively.He had longed patiently for the day he'd get the opportunity to let Madison hear all the unsaid words and unshared emotions he'd been harboring all along.Madison felt a surge of pleasure pump through her veins as he pulled away for a moment, making her gasp for air.His eyes bore into hers, dark and intense, like a tempest brewing in the distance. Without warning, he pulled her back into his embrace, his mouth
Liam sat in his dining room, filled with anticipation as the sun slowly descended on the horizon. The sweet fragrance of roses permeated the air, and the flickering candlelights illuminated the room, casting a warm and cozy atmosphere. As the shadows danced in the corners, they seemed to embody Liam's anxiety, waving like scepters and teasing him with their uncertainty.Having practiced his words a thousand times over, he was striving to find the ideal balance between passion and restraint.Liam's heart began to race as the clock chimed seven, thumping frantically in his chest. After waiting for what felt like an eternity, the moment he had longed for finally arrived. Lost in his thoughts, he suddenly felt a surge of excitement as the doorbell rang, sending a bolt of electricity coursing through his veins.He rose from his seat, feeling his palms slick with sweat. Despite his efforts to calm himself, a sense of nervousness persisted in the pit of his stomach as he made his way toward
Liam possessed her lips in a needy hunger, his tongue brushing every inch of her mouth as his palm made its way to her firm, round butt, caressing it softly. His other palm gently held her face as if for support.He felt a surge of warmth pumping through his groins as Madison's soft bosom, casually hidden by her little black dress, graced his hard chest, making his imagination go wild. So many fucking things he could do to her body, he thought.He thought of how succulent they'd feel when they were bare on his chest and how they'd bounce to the rhythm of the melody his cock would play.Madison kissed Liam with the same intensity, as they were both burning with the same desire. She ran her palm through his chest while she submitted to the sinful pleasures of the moment as Liam performed wonders on her body.His hand found its way to her bare thigh as it made its way in a languid and steady motion to a more personal area, deepening his kiss as though his life depended on it.Madison's h
The persistent ringing of the phone pierced through the silence of the large bedroom as the sound waves reverberated off the walls. With slow, deliberate steps, the receiver walked in the direction where the phone lay on the large, lustrous surface of the marble table, as delicate crystal figurines sparkled like diamonds, catching the light of the chandeliers and scattering it in a thousand shimmering rays.Finally, with a click, the ringing abruptly stopped as the slender hand placed the phone to the ear."Speak," the raspy voice said."More updates on the lady. She's currently seeing someone else. She is no longer a problem." The hoarse voice on the other end of the line reported"Good job.""Would you like some information on the person she's currently with?""No. My goal has already been achieved. I don't care about her life anymore, as long as my son is no longer in it. You can bring her phone over to me. I'd like to hang onto it a little longer; it might be useful to me," Mrs. C
The silence in the room was deafening; the loud thuds of their heartbeats could be heard from a distance as Madison's cold gaze pierced the depths of his deep blue eyes.She wanted answers. Somehow, somewhere deep down in her heart, she prayed this was all a misunderstanding. She desperately wanted him to tell her it wasn't what it seemed.There was no telling what would become of her if Liam had been taking her for a fool all along. Her heart wasn't built for such a streak of pain. Not when she had already fallen in love with him."I promise you, it isn't what you think, I swear. Vienna is just my childhood friend." Liam started, but the look on Madison's face wasn't encouraging at all.Vienna has been friends with Liam for over 25 years. They both grew up together and attended the same school, and both families have been close friends since then. Although she can be very petty and playful around Liam most times, that's just it and nothing more."Madison, I swear on my life and hope
The soothing air blew calmly, making the trees dance lazily to the rhythm, as the night cloud covered the sky, allowing the twinkling of the stars to shine brightly with a beautiful shimmer. It was a beautiful sight to behold, but not for Julian, as he barely paid attention to the beauty of the environment in which he sat.A little diary could be seen placed on his thigh, with a pen dancing to the surface of the blank page of the diary.It's been exactly 82 days since he left Adi with the promise of returning soon enough to take her on a date. He had never experienced time being this slow.Julian had been a lone wolf since his arrival, only attending classes and going straight home. That's been his only routine for the past three months. He decided to make the diary his companion; at least, that's the only place he could pour out his heart without fear of being found out by his parents.He stopped writing, lifting his head up to the beautiful sky and staring intently at it. He'd forgo
Madison climbed the stairs that led to Liam's room. She knew he was home because his cars were all parked outside.She had to settle this once and for all. She couldn't live her life like she was a prisoner.She pushed the door to his room open, her eyes darting around angrily until she saw him sitting at the far end of the room, operating his laptop.The sound of the door opening made him turn around to see who it was, "Oh, babe?" he called, standing up to meet her."Don't come near me!" She said angrily, making him halt immediately."What is going on, babe? Who got you this upset?" he asked so innocently with so much concern in his voice."Why, Liam? Why get a bodyguard to follow me around? What did you do that for?" she asked, crossing her arms over her chest as she waited for a response.Liam heaved a sigh of relief, "Oh, that?" he smiled. "Is that why you are this pissed? Come on, honey. It's just for your safety," he explained, maintaining his smile."Really? What makes you thin
"You knew about this, didn't you?" Liam fumed with anger as he walked toward Madison and Jenna. "You knew he'd be here and that's why you insisted on coming alone, huh?""No... No, Liam. Not at all. I didn't know he'd be here," Madison tried explaining, her voice quivering."Liam, he just showed up, I promise," Jenna tried to intervene, sensing the escalating tension."No, Jenna. Stay out of this," Liam retorted, pacing around and placing his hands on his waist. "You knew. You both knew. You all wanted to betray me. I trusted you, Jenna!" He half-yelled, his frustration reaching its peak."Liam, you have to calm down. Let's go in and talk about this, please?" Madison said carefully, not wanting to get him more upset."There is nothing to talk about. Let's go home," Liam said, pulling Madison by the hand, his anger still simmering."No, Liam! Stop!" She yelled at him, pulling her hand off his grip. "Can you just calm down and let us talk? What's going on? You've been acting really weir
Madison lay quietly on the bed, watching Liam's peaceful face while he slept. She sighed, standing up and making her way to the bathroom.She felt weak and tired from the numerous rounds they just had and she wished for more sleep, but sleep eluded her.She stared at her reflection in the mirror as he thoughts drifted away to all the things Liam had told her some hours ago. She gave it a long, hard thought and each time, a tiny part of her still yearned to give Julian listening ears.How could he? She kept asking herself that question. She broke down in tears, letting out all the hurt she felt. "How could he?" She muttered, clutching her chest tightly as she let tears flow down her cheeks.The thought of Julian abandoning her after using her was painful. The thought of him having someone else but still used her and took away her most-priced possession - her virginity - was too painful to bear. She had thought she'd giving it to someone worthy of it but she was wrong after all.She had
"We should have killed her when we had the chance. You were too weak to do so. Now look what's happening," The angry voice of Michelle sounded in the quiet room.Mr. Hudson sat quietly, listening to his angry wife as she vented out."What do we do now? You know the union between Julian and Tiffany is very important. We can't afford to let Julian ruin things for us!" She added, her anger evident in her voice."You have to calm down, honey. We'll look for a way around this. I promise you that." Hudson said, hoping he'd calm her down.His wife had told him to give permission to get rid of Adi when they had the opportunity, but he didn't feel right about it. Now, look where they've gotten to."It'll be even more difficult now that she's with Liam. She's no longer the naive girl we used to know." She hissed."We'll find a way to deal with this. Trust me." He moved over to where she sat and wrapped his arms around her. "Everything will turn out fine, okay?""I really do hope so."***Julian
She broke the silence that enveloped them by letting out a small smile. "No. He hasn't. There is no way he'd know where I stay or have my contact, right?""Yeah... That's true. But, I know how Julian can be. It was all just a mix-up... It was never my fault. He feels I betrayed him and I feel bad about that." Liam said, heaving a sigh."Can we talk about it now? I want to know what really happened. Why does he accuse you of taking me from him?" She asked."I really don't want to have that conversation, my love. All that matters is that we are together and we love each other. Just let the past be." He said, cupping her face in his palms. "Don't worry about it. I and Julian will sort each other out." He planted a kiss on her forehead."But..." She tried protesting."shhhh... Don't worry about it. We can talk about it another time. But right now, let's focus on us. I've missed you so much." Liam wasn't ready to tell Madison all that had happened then. He was scared that telling her might
"Tell me you don't miss that, Adi?" Julian asked, sensing her emotions. "You want this as much as I do. Why hold back? You know where your heart truly belongs.""I am engaged to be married to your cousin. Stop this madness and get the hell out of my life!" she yelled at him before running off into her room.Julian stood there, so many thoughts running through his mind. He didn't know if he should be hopeful or not. But one thing he knew for sure was that he was never going to stop until he finally got her.*Madison closed the door behind her as she sat on the floor with her back against the door. Her hand was placed above her chest in a bid to calm her rapidly beating heart."What just happened?" she asked herself as she touched her lips. She still felt his presence around her, the taste of his lips, his possessive grip on her and, God! It made her dripping wet down there."No. No. No. No. You can't let this happen, Madison." She said to herself as he hurried towards the table where
Liam sat on the edge of his bed, his phone clutched tightly in his hand, while a torrent of emotions churned within him. Regret weighed heavily on his conscience."Look, what we did wasn't right, Vienna, and I feel bad about it," Liam finally mustered the words, his voice tinged with guilt. "I am sorry it happened in the first place. I should have kept my shit in place."He had been thinking about the event of the previous night and he realised he had messed up.Vienna, on the other end of the call, feigned sadness, her voice carrying a tone of contrition. "It's fine, Liam. I understand. We were both carried away," she replied, her words laced with a false sense of regret. "It's all my fault, Liam. I should have knocked before coming in. I should not have barged in on you just like that." She sniffed, adding fabricated whimpers to her act."Please, Vienna. Don't cry. It's not your fault. I take the blame for everything, okay?" He ran his fingers through his head, confused about the en
Madison's car came to a stop in front of Jenna's apartment. She sat in the car for a few seconds, trying to calm herself down before stepping out.No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake off the look on Vienna's face when she descended the stairs. She had a certain glow that made Madison worry.All the time she'd spent with Liam, she'd never had a reason to doubt his faithfulness, but today... Today seemed different.She tried so hard to shake off the nagging feeling that Liam and Vienna had slept together last night... They had sex. It was glaring. But Madison refused to believe that reality."No... Not Liam." She kept saying to herself. "Liam would never cheat on me." She reassured herself.She stepped out of the car and took quick steps into Jenna's apartment, she was desperately in need of someone to talk to."Adi... What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Jenna sprang up to her feet when she saw Madison with tears in her eyes.She hurried to the door and enveloped her in a wa
The persistent ringing of the doorbell jolted Liam up from his slumber. He opened his eyes, trying to adjust to the brightness of the room.The doorbell kept on ringing, as well as his phone. "Bloody hell," he cursed under his breath, trying to get off the bed when he realized he was naked.His brows furrowed in slight confusion before realization hit him like a bolt of lightning. He turned by his side to see a naked Vienna lying beside him, still deep asleep."Oh, God. No..." He hurriedly stood up like one who just recovered from an enchantment. "What the Fuck have I done?" he hurried to the floor where his towel lay, picking it up swiftly."Velda!" He called out with urgency in his tone as he hurried to the table where his phone didn't stop ringing.He picked it up and discovered it was Madison calling. "Oh, Fuck! What do I do?" he ran his fingers through his messy hair, thinking of what lie he could tell her.He took in a deep breath to steady himself before answering the call. "Ba
