"The most beautiful thing in our hearts about young love, is the truth in our hearts that it would last forever ~ ATTICUS ~
"Would you come to the shop later today Maddie?"
Looking up at him shyly, Madison gave a small smile as she nodded gently.
Anytime he called her Maddie, she always got weak to the core, and his husky deep voice did things to her inside.
Oh, if he would just kiss her now... She wondered, biting her lips, looking up at him shyly, her eyes blinking softly trying not to meet his gaze but she failed.
They had just started dating, some weeks back and still they hadn't shared their first kiss.
Every single day though, she kept on falling deep in love with him, and the cute gestures he showered on her every time.
From taking her to little spontaneous dates in his workplace, kissing her cheeks and forehead so gently whenever they wanted to part in the juncture before she would go home, and sending her love texts late at night that made her swoon like a fool every time before sleeping, Madison just didn't want this feeling to end.
Their love was forbidden, and whenever his texts came in when she was with her parents or brothers, she made sure to keep her phone hidden sometimes switching the phone completely off.
Her brothers were still not aware of her new relationship, likewise her parents and Madison knew that once they caught wind of it, she would literally be skinned alive, but what did she care?
She was in love, and she wanted to bask in this feeling of bliss till whenever.
She never wanted this feeling to stop at all...
Rumors were already going around, and considering their different social classes, and large age difference (She was 17 and he was 22 bothering on 23 soon), she knew people were bound to talk in this little boring town of theirs and that was another main reason why Damien, had not taken her on a full proper restaurant dinner date just like she had always envisioned and imagined too.
They were keeping things secret.
It hurt her, that they had to hide so much just because they weren't the perfect pair for each other, but was anything perfect in this wicked world? She wondered.
She...
"Madison? Maddie? What are you thinking about? Why are you so silent?" Damien placing his hands on her shoulders started to shake her lightly, breaking her out from her supposed reverie.
"Oh... I must have zoned out." She said softly, looking up at him yet again, her lips stretching a little bit as she stared into his shiny deep blue eyes.
Her eyes wandering down from his face, she started to access him, as she smiled deeply this time.
He looked so handsome in his work clothes of faded jeans, and a dark polo, with the shirt doing justice to his muscles making his chest stand out, and she blushed immediately, dropping her eyes from his body and looking at her feets, her hands suddenly intertwined as she made work of them.
"Maddie, look at me." He said in that deep tone of his, and she did as he ordered, despite her eyelids blinking yet again, her gaze not steady.
Why the fuck was she feeling so shy? Why was...
"Whenever you do this thing...?"
"What thing?" She asked cutting through his speech, but he didn't answer as he said with a deep growl before dropping his lips on her hers. "... makes me want to kiss the shit out of you. Fuck it!"
"Oh Damien..." She moaned softly unashamedly, as they kissed for the first time, and lost in the moment Madison didn't want it to end.
Not at all...
.......
Present Day, 2022 (At the scene of the party)
"This dress costs 2000 fucking dollars, and that bitch just spilled red wine on it. She just ruined my dress honey, she just..."
Damien had no idea what Katherine was saying anymore, even as he patted her back slowly in a comfortable manner trying to calm her down, but his mind was not with her at all.
He was shocked and gutted to the core, staring at his worst nightmare. Time seemed to standby, as he stared straight at the woman who had plagued his dreams insanely in the last ten years.
Her strawberry blonde curls, which hadn't changed one bit was still on her head, fanning her somewhat skinny face as they stared at each other in shock.
To say he was surprised was an understatement, as he was more than shocked as different questions ran in his head. What was she doing here? As a waitress for that matter?
Where was the quirky princess of the Connor family, the lady who had everything she wanted at her disposal, the lady that had shattered his heart, and made him leave Birmingham without looking back twice?
Where was she? Surely she was not this person, picking glasses, with tears streaking down her face, as she stared right back at him...
He felt like laughing at the absurdity of the whole situation. He just couldn't believe it at all. She looked so small, and she had changed too, that he could note as he stared at her, using the short time he had, to take a good look at her.
Her full rosebud lips that he had kissed, suckled and placed his dick cap on and... fuck it! She looked startled too as her mouth was open and tears were still streaming down her face profusely.
One and only Madison Connor, now a waitress and... "Honey, you're not saying anything. I'm ruined, this lady has just spoilt my night honey and you're just staring at her without doing anything. People are staring, the cameras..."
At the mention of cameras, Damien snapped out of his trance, giving Madison one last glance before dragging his gaze away from her. His look immediately turned from confusion, to one of pure disgust and hatred, as the pasts came rushing back. The hurtful things she and her family had done to him, how she had betrayed him and...
His hands on Katherine's arms gripping tightly, he asked harshly, "What do you want her to do? You don't want to calm down love."
He was patting her back slowly, trying to speak to her endearingly all the while his gaze kept sliding back to Madison, who he could hear muttering sorry albeit slowly and picking up the shards of glasses despite how dangerous it was.
He could see some drops of blood on the floor, and at the same time the crowd was dispersing as security and help started to appear.
"She has to pay for the dress and extra damages. The dress cost a freaking 2000 dollars and..." Katherine said, hiccuping and bawling and cutting her off, Damien said in a loud voice making sure she would hear him, "You want the pathetic bitch to pay for it right?" He asked and Katherine nodded shakily.
The pathetic bitch on the floor, yes he was talking to her, and looking at her a wicked smirk on his face, as the hatred returned he uttered, "Done! Yes she would pay for it. She would pay for every single dime used in making this dress. She would pay for every thing, and if she doesn't, we'll sue!"
Katherine was happy instantly giggling, but as Damien held Madison's gaze looking back at her , he saw pain, or was it hurt flashing through her eyes. Her lips dropped open in shock and she let out a gasp at the same time, inaudible but he could hear it.
Tears streamed down her face this time in folds. but Damien had no care in the world.
She would pay... Her and her family, and this was just the beginning!

"Done! Yes she would pay for it. She would pay for every single dime used in making this dress. She would pay for every thing, and if she doesn't, we'll sue!"As she heard these words coming out from his lips, Madison felt like commanding the ground to open up and swallow her.2000 freaking dollars! Where the fuck would she get that money from?That was almost half of her tip for this job, and the meager 800 dollars that she was going to get after everything she would do here, had already been budgeted.Asides from the tip also that these horny looking cheating men, had given her after she served them drinks, Madison knew that should she pay for the dress, then she would be utterly broke and stranded in New York, and she did not want to go through that nightmare.She had even decided on taking the train back home, as she wanted to save up the money she would use to book a flight back home, and now this had to happen!She started to sob uncontrollably, and a bit loud too not caring if

"That lady, was the girlfriend of the owner of this building! How dare you be so careless?"Madison stood as the chaperone and the manager of her agency berated her.If there was anything she hated in this world, it was being yelled at.She was so fragile, so light hearted that even back when she was young, and had still been living with her parents and siblings, any little berating from them, would make her drop down in tears.Now, as the manager of the establishment where waiters were being recruited chastised her, as if she was but a little girl, Madison just couldn't help the sob that escaped from her lips, as he continued throwing insults at her.The constant reminder of the cost of the dress, which he kept on repeating, did nothing in alleviating the situation instead it worsened everything.She was the only one in the office with him, because the waitresses and waiters who had served today at the event had all collected her tip and left her here.No one had stayed to even conso

“Tell me everything you’ve got.” Damien said to his head lawyer, Mr Rudiger and the man he had hired to further delve into the Connors case.He had abandoned the case some years back, after his mother had told him to drop it, but with the recent appearance of Madison, and the memories that were plunging in his head, Damien couldn’t let it off any longer.He was reopening the case, and just like he had promised himself the night before after the event, and after drinking himself to sleep, he had decided to begin the investigations today.He was going to bring the Connors down, but first he was going to make each and every member of the family pay before he would then face the head of the household, ruthless politician and the man who had sired the woman he had loved since time immemorial, Mr Connor.For the ruin that elderly man caused his family, the death of his father, banishing then from Birmingham after winning a law suit against him, and making his life a living hell before his l

Flashbacks, 2011… 11 years earlier‘If I had to sum up friendship in one word, it would be comfort.’ ~ Terri Guillements.“Hey Alvarez, come on in brother…”Madison watched with delight, and a blush creeping up her cheeks, as Damien invited her best friend into the shed where he had been busy working.Dropping the spanner she had been holding on the a work table nearby, and walking over to meet him, she smiled enveloping him in a hug almost immediately, as she said, “Hey Alvarez, what brings you by.”“Oh that’s enough between you too.” Damien said roughly, his hands on her back as he dragged her of Alvarez’s arms, and both him and Alvarez chuckled softly, while she swooned uncontrollably.It really amazed her how rather possessive Damien was of her, to the extent that he never allowed any of his or her male friends to come in contact with her, talk more of hug her tightly just the way she was doing with Alvarez.“He is my best friend for goodness sake Damien.

"Sure.” Madison assented, nodding to Alvarez's idea of having some coffee at a nearby shop he had sighted on his way to her motel. "I do need some fresh air after all this crying," She joked.She didn't think it necessary to tell him that the said coffee would be the first thing she was having today. If she did, she knew he would insist on getting her something to eat. And she didn't wish to be anyone's burden.The worried look on his face told her that be didn't think it was that amusing, but she waved it off, glad that he was here as he helped her pack her luggage into the trunk of his car.Madison turned to face Alvarez as he suddenly began to laugh heartily. "Hey, watch the road," She warned jokingly, joining in his contagious laughter although she wasn't sure the reason for it. "What's so funny anyways?""I just remembered when I used to help you sneak out to watch those circus shows your father thorough despised.” He laughed again. "We really were some trio weren't we?"

Damien had been trying his hardest not to feel so impatient, but it was obvious that he was as he continuously tapped his palm against his thigh, waiting for Mr Rudiger’s arrival again today.After a few moments of checking his watch at intervals, his secretary finally rang to inform him of Mr Rudiger's arrival. He immediately ordered her to him in and looked up in anticipation when the door swung open."Give me good news," He said, ignoring the presence of the other man who accompanied Mr Rudiger.He frowned when he saw Mr Rudiger take off his glasses and rub his forehead. "We have been tracking the Connors like you requested, but so far we haven't been able to get any information on the immediate family, or how their empire crashed. It's almost like they all vanished into thin air."Damien's face crumpled in anger. "That's all you've come up with? It's been days. I'm starting to think you're not the right person for this job. I need something beneficial."Mr Rudiger nodded. "Fortuna

Madison woke up with a start, as the noise of the incessant banging on her door resounded heavily through the room. As she hurried to her feet, wondering who could possibly be knocking like that, a sharp ache ran through her head, making her grimace in pain. She still had the searing headache from yesterday, and she hasn’t done anything to treat it, as she wasn't sure if she could afford to get some painkillers with the little change she had. Her eyebrows cocked in surprise when she unlocked her door to reveal the motel owner. She knew he was the owner, because she had seen him the day she moved in with Alvarez. Rubbing her hands up and down to warm herself up, she greeted him. "What can I do for you today?" She asked, puzzled as to what he could want so early in the morning. Her heart skipped a beat as a thought crossed her mind. But she waved it away. Alvarez had paid for the room already, so it couldn't possibly be because she was owing. "You have some visitors waiting to s

Madison sat crouched on the floor of her small motel room, her hands placed tightly over her ears in an attempt to block out the distant sounds of the hoarded paparazzi who still swarmed outside her room actually, asking for her reappearance. Her hands pressed harder over her ears as she sobbed, the residue of tears at the back of her eyes falling down helplessly, she kept hoping for someone to come take her away from all of this misery. She was already fed up with the series of unending challenges she had to face, but now it only worsened by the day. She just wanted it all to end. She was tired of everything. As she shut her eyes tightly, tears streaming down her face, she continued crying, pouring out her pain so seriously that she didn’t even hear the door of her room swing open, until a very familiar husky called out, “Madison!" Alvarez… She looked up seeing him barge in, panic and worry visible on his face, and quickly she scrambled up to her feet the moment she saw him. "

Because when their hearts first collided, they knew their soul was already infused together. ~SOME MONTHS LATER “No way…” Madison’s hand shook as she held the white pregnancy test stick in her hand, her jaw dropping as she stared at the result she was seeing.Her hands shook heavily, and as beads of sweat flowed down her face, she began to walk away from the toilet and back to the bedroom she and Damien shared.“This has got to be a dream.” Madison muttered to herself, a tear falling down her face as she gently placed the stick on the table and continued to stare at it, but she could not comprehend what she was seeing.Her eyes closed; she tried to tell herself that, indeed, her eyes were playing some trick on her, so she had to close and open them again, but when she did… The pregnancy stick was still there.Showing two positive lines, indicating that she

“Are we there yet?” Madison queried, her hands flailing about in the air as Damien kept leading her to somewhere unknown, his hands covering her eyes.“Almost…” He chuckled heavily, and she just groaned lightly.She hated this suspense, and whatever it was, he wanted to show her it had better be worth it cause she was running out of patience.Discarding the worrying thoughts out of her head, Madison instead decided to use her sense of hearing to grasp the knowledge of where she was at the moment since she could barely see a thing.The light sand, which buried her feet now and then as they walked, signified that they were either at the beach or some park. It was the beach! She could hear the soft billowing sounds of water waves from afar, and with the cool evening breeze blowing past, carrying with it the scent of murky dust, she knew her assumption was right. But which one in particular? She wondered, and again why had Damien brought her to the beach of all places?Her curiosity soo

"I'm confident that everything will be fine." As they drove to the hospital, Damien kept assuring Madison, his hands intertwined with hers. It was as if he could sense her anxiety and the nagging reminder that she might get some bad news today. She'd avoided going to the hospital for years after being treated there when her child died. Since then, she'd vowed never to set foot in a hospital building to check on herself, regardless of whether the situation was critical. But, with Damien's constant words of encouragement and kisses on her knuckles every minute, she was doing her best to remain calm. They'd agreed to go to the hospital to be safe after she'd expressed concerns about not being able to have children, among other things. Damien, on the other hand, had suggested going to the hospital so they could both get some checkups and talk to the doctor. His suggestion was good, and she could use it...

“Morning, princess.”Madison groaned, her eyes fluttering open as Damien’s loud greeting roused her from her slumber.“Go away.” She mumbled, eyes still closed as she turned sideways on the bed, intent on continuing her sleep, but he just wasn’t having it.“No, I won’t. Wake up, princess.” He said again, using his hands to nudge her shoulders again, and she let out a frustrated hiss.“I think I can handle you calling me ‘princess,’ and the word alone will make me wake up. You know I like it.” She mumbled, hands rubbing at her eyes as she tried to gain consciousness of her surroundingsDragging the blanket with her, Madison pushed herself into a sitting position against the headboard, yawning and stretching.She looked over to where he was standing, and her lips fell open when she saw he had a tray in hand.A tray of food? What was in there? She began to wonder, but she didn’t need to think much because, soon enough, the smell of freshly fried eggs, bacon, and pancakes filled the air,

The moment Damien placed his lips on hers, Madison knew she was lost already.Finally, after her fears and worries, she was doing this. She was going to enjoy tonight, and since it was their first time since whenever, she just had to bask in it.Closing her eyes and letting out a hum the second he placed her on the soft king-sized bed they shared, Madison’s left hand wandered to his hair, gripping the strands tightly. She moved forward to deepen the kiss, feeling his hands also moving, and she let out a sigh when his thumb caressed the bud of her puckered nipple.He was still kissing her. Their tongues lip locking lightly, and every move he made sent warmth rushing through her body and made her heart race. Suddenly, Damien pulled back and smiled softly at her before placing a gentle kiss on her neck, and she heard him whisper, “Fuck Maddie.

“Sure, I’ll come visit.”“We will come visit.” Damien chimed in, throwing Madison a wink, and she just laughed softly.His hands wrapped possessively around her waist, Madison leaned further into his arms, sighing satisfactorily as she bade her family goodbye.Watching as everyone got into the jeep Damien had provided to take them home, she continued waving at the moving car until finally, the vehicle was out of the mansion’s heavy gates, and it was just her and Damien standing outside in the cold.It’d been a long night, filled with eating, drinking, and dancing, and now it was all over, and as much as she had not wanted the event to end, she was rather grateful.She was tired, and she could do with some sleep as it stood. “Hey, lovebirds.” A familiar voice called behind, and they both turned back to check.It was Alvarez, and he was coming down from the mansion's stairs, bag and suitcase packed already, and Madison’s brow raised immediately, the sleep at the corner of her eyes disa

“…I still have a lot to say, but this toast would be incomplete without my late father, Mr Daniel. It’s so funny how everything that happened all till this day is somehow intertwined with the events of the past. I can’t say the memories are worthwhile, but then everything happens for a reason, and I know that wherever he is right now, he would be watching us with love, admiration, and pride. I am also proud, not because of my achievements or everything I might have gained in these past few years. But because of what I became after all these incidents. I would never have imagined this scenario, but I am grateful for it. This enmity and malice between our families have been long gone, but we still have to look out for each other, especially when the situation gets tough. However, it can only get better from here.

“Hello, mother.” Damien smiled ruefully, his arms wide as he embraced Mrs Connor, and she dutifully fell into his warm hug.“Son…” She began, “You look so good and strong already. How are you doing?“ She queried with a raised brow, and Damien chuckled all the more.“I’m doing fine, as you can see, thanks to Madison.” He finished with a wink, and the pretty older woman laughed heartily.“Come in, come in,” Damien said again, his hands outstretched as he led her into his modest abode.Kissing her on both cheeks, he allowed her to wander in and turned to face the rest of Madison’s family.Her father, brothers and their spouses were all present tonight for the reunion party and from the look of things, there was going to be a full house.However, Damien reveled in it. He was more than happy that they’d all honored the invitation, and knowing that this dinner event would usher in many more to come, his eyelids twinkled as another waning idea flickered into his thoughts.“Hello, brother.” M

“I’ve been trying mother’s cell phone, but it hasn’t been going through, father. Where is she?” “Hello to you too, Maddie.” Mr Connor greeted, and Madison sighed, rubbing her left hand on her forehead. “Afternoon, father. How are you doing?” She politely asked, a smile flickering on her lips as he replied “I am doing okay. Better than ever. Your mother went to the grocery store nearby to get some things for dinner tonight and….” “Why is she still going out on her own father?” Madison abruptly asked, continuing, “Damien’s made sure she doesn’t have to worry about all these. You both… I mean, the household staff he hired should be able to….” “You know how stubborn your mother can sometimes be, and I couldn’t object. She wanted to go out and get the things she needed specifically. Just leave her be.” Mr Connor said, and Madison could only jet out a worried exhale. However, hearing her father’s cheery voice lifted her heart enthusiastically, and tears pooled at the back of her eyes.
