VictorI nodded, feeling dejected and defeated. "Okay, I'll go," I said quietly, trying to hide the hurt I felt. "Just let me know if you need anything, okay?"Maddie didn't say anything, and I turned and began to walk away. As I reached the end of the driveway, I heard Maddie's voice behind me. "Thank you, Victor."I stopped and looked back at her, and for a moment, our eyes met. I saw a flicker of something in her eyes, but I couldn't place it. All the while, this Chandler fellow just kept looking with a smirk on his face. Then she turned and went back into the house.As I walked down the street, I felt a sense of despair wash over me. I had come here with the best of intentions, and yet I had only made things worse. I wondered if I had been too presumptuous in thinking I could help, and I questioned whether my presence was a burden rather than a comfort.I considered going back, but I knew it wouldn't do any good. I had to respect Maddie's wishes and give her the space she needed.

Chapter 22

Stephanie“How could you let yourself be played like that? How could you let that bitch take away everything from you from a thousand miles away?” My mother asked me.“I don't know. I never saw it coming. He was having sex with only me.” I told her.“Don't be naive; even though I know there were other women, I thought you had him.”My mom has always been an ambitious woman; at least I know who I took mine from.I went to her crying after I left Victor. Despite my behavior in his office, I left there humiliated, and I vowed to return the favor.“What do you expect me to do?” I asked her.“You know what to do.” She said she was standing up and looking at me.She's right; I do know what to do. Misharm and mischief are my specialty.“I will be doing an interview live with a TV show that I will announce soon.” I heard Maddie on the TV. Suddenly, an idea struck me.I picked up the phone and called a friend. “Hi, Eleanor. How will you like exclusive gossip?” I said, smiling wickedly.The int

Chapter 23

Maddie“Help, somebody help.” I screamed, looking at Victor lying helpless on the floor.Chandler rushed in, alarmed. "Maddie, what happened?" he asked urgently."Call 911!" I shouted again, seeing Victor lying on the floor, helpless. The panic in my voice echoed through the room as I waited for help to arrive.Frantically, I kneeled beside Victor, my hands trembling as I tried to assess the situation. Chandler dialed 911, relaying the urgency to the operator. The seconds felt like an eternity as we waited for help to arrive.Victor's eyes met mine, filled with a mix of pain and confusion. "Stay with me," I urged, my voice shaky. The room seemed to close in, and the air was thick with worry and fear.After a little while, we heard the ambulance siren getting closer. It was both a relief and made everyone more nervous. Chandler helped the paramedics by providing information, and I stayed near Victor, trying to comfort him in the middle of all the chaos.The paramedics came in quickly

Chapter 24

Victor“Hmmm.” I felt a pierce in my skin; the nurse was adjusting my IV.My parents and my siblings, along with Alex, were with me overnight, but Greta and Alex went out to get food for everyone.My mind went back to yesterday, with the arrest of Maddie. My view of Maddie changed.I knew she didn't want me close to her, but poisoning me—that was way too far. I mean, what did she think she was going to achieve by poisoning me?Greta and Alex came back, but Greta wasn't looking at me.“What is it, Greta?” I asked her.“Hmm, nothing.” She responded, still not looking at me.“You haven't made eye contact with me since you got back.” She sighed and said,.“I brought her in here; Mom didn't want her here, but I insisted. I mean, she is designing my wedding dress, but she poisoned you.” I say I have a guilty look.“How would you have known? It's not your fault.” I said to herGreta looked at me, her eyes showing both worry and inner conflict. "I just can't figure out why she'd do something

Maddie“Someone help.” I screamed into the tiny room I was kept in by my captors.“Shut up there!” One of them said, “What do you want? I could pay you a lot of money if you would just let me go.” I pleaded, crying.I heard the door opening, and the one with the heavy-built body came in, and fear gripped me.“What I want is a taste of you; how do you like that?" He said this, licking his lips. I ran to the room.He dragged me through the floor, opening my gown.“Stop! That's not what we are here for.” I heard a feminine but modified voice over a speaker. It sounded like those in the movies.“Begin the questions.” My other captor came in; he looked like he meant business.They brought a chair and connected my hands to a lie detector.“What's your name?" The interrogator asked.“Maddie… Maddie Thompson.” I was panicking.“Where have you been for the last five years, Maddie.? He askedI swallowed hard before answering, ” Italy.” I answered correctly.“What are the names of your son's?" H

Chapter 26

MaddieIt's been weeks since the kidnapping, and I haven't stepped outside my home.Maeve kind of moved into the house because I didn't step out of my room. I hardly ate, and the kids saw me frequently.“Aiden and Caleb asked about you again. They know you are here. Just come out to see them.” Maeve said, dropping a plate of food on my table.“I can't let them see me like this. I have to be strong for them. And right now, I'm not strong.” I told her.“People break down; they have also known that.” She said she was trying to convince me.“But I didn't just break down Meave; I was kidnapped and tortured." I said“And because of what? The kidnappers wanted the name of their father."Maeve sat down beside me, her gaze sympathetic. "I know it's been incredibly tough, Maddie. But hiding away won't make it any easier. Aiden and Caleb need their mom, and they'll understand if you're not okay all the time."I sighed, staring at the untouched food on the plate. "I just don't want them to see me

Chapter 27

~~Victor~~I held the door handle for a moment, unable to comprehend what I had just heard. "What did you say?" I asked her again."I didn't tell you because I felt I needed to protect them from you," she said. "Mama..." The little one called out to her, crying."Get in," I instructed her. "I'm going to make a phone call. Be right back.""What phone call?" She asked suspiciously.I hesitated before responding, "The police, because you are insane.""What do you mean by that?" she asked."You've been back for how long, hmm? Ten months? And all this time, you never thought to tell me they were my kids. How am I supposed to believe you?" I questioned her."How am I supposed to tell you, after I was humiliated?" I interrupted."Humiliated?" I asked, laughing."You were moaning to me on my wedding night, a wedding with your sister. So how were you humiliated?"With her face flushed, she responded, "And you, drunk? I mean, who doesn't recognize his own wife on his wedding bed? If you don't w

Chapter 28

~~Maddie~~It's been two days of silence because whoever kidnapped my son knows our every move."Hi, this is Mike Chandler. Please leave a message." Chandler's phone has been on voicemail since the kidnapping.I paced nervously in the dimly lit room, unable to shake the feeling of helplessness. A commotion outside the house caught my attention.Ever since I brought Caleb to Victor's house and shared everything, he hasn't left our side. Round-the-clock security, CCTV cameras everywhere—it felt like a fortress compared to my own home."You need to let me in," Maeve shouted by the door."Ma'am, I was given strict instructions not to let anyone in," the security guard explained."Ma'am, you call me that and still disrespect me." "Ma'am, I didn't mean any disrespect, I…""Let them in," I told the guard. "But, ma'am?" he tried to dismiss me."My friends won't hurt me, will they? And even if they do, you're here to protect me, aren't you?"He nodded, allowing them in, and Maeve immediately

Chapter 29

~~Victor~~It has been an incredibly stressful two days, the longest of my life.Ever since Maddie revealed that I am the father of her kids, I haven't been able to think straight.With Aiden kidnapped, I feel like I'm losing my mind. Just a week ago, I was lying in the hospital poisoned; now I have twins, and one of them is missing.I could feel the world falling apart around me, and there was nothing I could do but wait for the investigation to unfold.I made calls to all my contacts in the FBI and police. We didn't go through the usual channels because Maddie believes there is a mole in the city police department."Any news?" Alex and our friend Mark entered the office."No, there isn't a lot of ground to cover.""I still think it was a wrong call not to involve the police. Greta thinks so too," Alex said."Yeah, but Madison doesn't trust the police," I replied. "Madison, huh? We on a first-name basis now?""Stop it, Alex. A child is missing. His child," Mark said, pointing at me.

~~Chandler~~"Everything is under control," I asserted confidently."Yes, I have established contact. She needs to be managed and guided. Maddie requires a paternal presence, and I believe I can fulfill that role."I entered the car and departed from the restaurant where I had recently met Stephanie, extending her assistance in strategizing against Victor Reynolds.It is all part of a plan I have meticulously devised since Maddie's return to town.On the day following Victor's wedding, he slept with my sister.My sister works in one of his popular clubs, making ends meet for herself and to complete her college degree.A few months later, she discovered she was pregnant.
