Chapter 41

Tyler’s POVIt was a silent trip to the police station and Maddy was looking outside the window. She does that whenever she is worried about something. I was turning to stare at her at every chance I get.My phone beeped. It was a message. I wasn't sure if I was expecting any message from anyone but I picked up my phone and checked the message. It was a message from my father. I wonder what he wanted this time.“You better not mess things up for me! The dinner is in a few days; drop whatever thing you have going on with that woman you are with."It is the audacity of my father to think he would have a say in my life, he was never present in my life, he was always busy chasing money and women, he never gave me the emotional support I needed as a child, he left me to sort things out by myself at a young age, I was making major decisions for myself.I hope to have kids someday and I know I will be a better father, I will raise them with love and care, I would give them the things I never

Chapter 42

Madison’s POVRose didn't even give me the chance to explain myself; she ended the call before I could explain what happened. I know she is hurt but she should have listened to what I had to say at least.I was trying to explain to Rose but she was too angry to listen to what I had to say. I wouldn't want anything to ruin my friendship with Rose; it would break me.She was my safe space; I run to her whenever I feel like the world is compressing me; she is always available to talk to me; she is that friend who is closer than a sister.Growing up, her family wasn't as privileged as mine. We attended the same high school and college but she was on a scholarship program because her parents couldn’t afford the bare minimum. I was closer to Rose than I was to Gem.Gem was just a spoiled girl who couldn't relate to life issues. Gem was used to collecting and not giving so it was hard for us to bond because I was looking for stability and she was always trying to drain me.I would ask our co

Chapter 43

Madison’s POV “It worked, Tyler! She texted back.” “I told you she was going to.”The excitement in my voice was everything. I sent Rose the address and she replied: “I’m on my way now; I'm still upset with you, though."We finally reached the station and it was crowded. I hate crowds, and it was a great turn-off for me. It was as if everyone went into the station to file a complaint. The crime rate in this country was increasing by the day.Finally, an officer came to attend to us and he took us to an office where it was less noisy. “How can I help you both?" “My sister has been kidnapped since yesterday; these are the messages I've gotten from this unknown number; it is a picture of my sister being held hostage.The officer collected my phone and glanced through it. “Do you mind if I take your phone to our IT room for a few minutes? “No, I do not mind at all."He stood up and exited his office. I didn't realize how cold his office was until he took my phone outside. As I was

Chapter 44

Madison’s POV.I wanted to let out my emotions and cry to Rose, but we were in the public and I tried not to allow tears to fall down my face easily."I'm sorry, Rose." I whispered in her eyes as we hugged. "It's alright, Maddy. I forgive you. I am no longer angry; I was just upset that you’ve drifted away.” “Hi Andy, hello Tyler.” She turned to greet them. “Oh wow!! She finally recognizes me.” “Don't be silly, Andy; why wouldn't I? If there was anything, you stopped reaching out.” “That is because you stopped taking or returning my calls.’“Well, that's true, but I've been occupied with family and work stuff, sorry Andy.” “Hi Rose, it is nice to meet you.” Tyler said. "It's nice to finally meet you too; I've heard a lot about you. Maddy and I talk about you once in a while.” "Oh, I see, I hope you heard good things about me.” She turned to give me a naughty grin. “Well, I cannot disclose that information to you right now.” Tyler jokingly replied.They both giggled and we we

Chapter 45

Madison’s POV.The restaurant was a calm rooftop restaurant; it was breezy and it was the perfect time to sit in an open space like that.There was no active conversation happening at that particular moment; we were just staring at each other’s faces, nothing more.The waiter came and took our order; it arrived 15 minutes later and we started digging in. We had our main dish and Tyler started a conversation with Andy. “Andy, how do you enjoy working at my firm? Have you been facing any challenges so far?” “Not at all, sir; the work environment is therapeutic; everyone welcomed me with open arms and they didn't treat me like an ordinary intern. We live as a family there and I am so happy to be part of your team. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with you sir.” “I’m glad you like it there. I heard you are working really hard and I'm happy to hear that. You can call me by my name; there is no need for formality. When you call me "Sir," I feel old.” “You are not old; me

Chapter 46

Tyler’s POV“Put it on speaker so we can hear what the person has to say.” I told Madison.Maddy put the phone on speaker and as suspected, it was someone she wasn't familiar with. “Hello, is this Madison Byers?” "Yes, it is me. Please do not hurt my sister; we will do anything.” “Hurt your sister? My name is Joe, and I'm the guy who hosted the party that Gem attended.” “Oh!! Sorry about that; I didn't know.” "It's alright, I'm calling because I think I have some information that might help in finding her.” He mentioned the reason for his call. “Really!! Where are you? Should I come meet you?” Madison was already moving towards the door."Yes, you can come; my parents are out of town again, but you have to hurry; I need to run an errand for my dad before night falls, so you might miss me if you do not come now.” “I’ll be there in an instant.” “Let’s go, guys; we have no time to waste.” She called out to us. "Maddy, are you sure this guy has useful information?” I wanted to be

Chapter 47

Madison’s POV“This is not good officer; this is dangerous.” I was already so worried. “A man just left a few minutes ago; his son reportedly attended the party Gem attended but he hasn't returned home and he got the same disturbing message. I know they all planned this together, but since we have the address, we will burst in on them tonight." The officer tried to assure me. “Why can't we go now? This would be the best time to burst in.” “If we burst in now? We will only make matters worse because we won't get all of them, their leader will not be around, and we need to catch all of them. but we will go in to night; tonight is their initiation night; they will all be present; they will be welcoming new members to the club tonight; it involves insertions on their backs and making them sniff cocaine.” “That is really terrible, officer. How come you know so much about them when you have never caught any of them?” Andy asked. “What is your name, young man? “My name is Andy.” “He i

Chapter 48

Madison’s POV.Tears were about to roll down my eyes but I raised my head, and I held it in but Tyler noticed. “Maddy, are you ok? Do you have something in your eyes?” "Yes, I do but it is out already.” “Do you want me to come look at it?”“Never mind, it went out already.” Tyler almost caught me shedding tears. I wouldn't want the sympathy; I hate it so I had to pretend. "Please help me with the address, Joe, so I can go get my sister.” “Sure, I will write it down for you; it is forty minutes away from here.” Joe called the name of his maid and she ran to where he was sitting. “Can you get me a pan and a piece of paper, please?” “Alright sir.” “No, you do not have to borrow; I have a pen and a notebook here; you can use it.” Rose reached for her bag and brought out a pen and a piece of paper for Joe to use and he wrote down the address. “Here you go; that is the street and the house number. Please make sure you park your car two blocks away so they won't hear you drive in

Chapter 48

Madison’s POV“Are you going to take me home or are we going to stand here all night?” I asked Tyler. “Well, you seem to enjoy looking at me; I cannot complain, can I?” “You think too highly of yourself; has your dad texted you since the last time?"No, he hasn't; I'm not ready to receive any text from him; I'm not ready for that.” “Well, please drive me to my house; I've had a long day and I need to shower and rest.” “We both had a long day, so let’s go. Do you even have food to eat at home?” “I’ll just order food online.” “Boring!!! Come have dinner at my place; Mrs. Sophie is making something nice for the both of us.” “Wow!! I didn't know that, but I think I am becoming too frequent at your place, and I don't want that.” “And is there anything wrong with that?” Tyler asked. “Well, there is nothing wrong with that but I'm just saying.” “Let’s go; you think too much about everything.” “You better drive calmly this time.” “Is that the “thank you” I get for driving you ever

Chapter 49

Madison’s POV. At that point, it was a silent trip home because I turned off the radio so I could take my mother’s call. I was still looking outside the window when Tyler turned the radio on, and the music playing caught my attention. “I love this song. Nice song; it reminds me of my school days. Before I knew what was happening, we were both singing along; our voices filled the car as we sang to the lyrics of the song. I still see your shadow in my room. I can’t take back the love that I gave you; it’s to the point where I love you and I hate you and I cannot change you, so I must replace you. “This is a really nice song, Tyler; it was my ringtone back then in school.” “Wow!! I see. Why was it your ringtone? You got a lot of heartbreak from guys?” “Quit saying rubbish; I just love the song and that is all you need to know.” “Well, that is enough information.” We finally got to Tyler’s house. It felt like we were driving forever; the trip was so long and my body was aching by
