All Chapters of The Love Triangle: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

A shiver crept from the depths of the open freezer, wrapping around Madeline's heart like frigid fingers. The haunting memory of her strength ebbing away in the biting chill crept back into her mind.Her body shook with a slight tremor, the terror of a near-death experience blooming anew within her.With a startled gasp, she slammed the fridge shut and leaned against it, her breaths coming in ragged pulls.She had thought she was over the horror of being trapped in that icy tomb, but her trembling limbs betrayed her lingering fear.The shrill ring of her phone snapped Madeline back to reality.It was Edith."Trevon told me about the decision to put off the divorce. I know it's another sacrifice on your part."Madeline attempted a smile, but a twinge of pain stopped her short. "Grandma, I understand. I've spoken with Trevon too. We'll wait until things are more stable before we go through with the divorce."Edith let out a weary sigh on the other end."As long as you two have a

Yahir felt like he put his foot in his mouth.Inside, Yahir was kicking himself for his blunder, but he kept his cool and smiled. "Mrs. Gibson, you're here for Trevon? Funny, me too."Madeline gave him a curious once-over.If he were Trevon's lifelong bud, he would know that Trevon was all over Lydia. There was no way Yahir would be that chummy without a reason.However, Madeline did not get along with trust-fund kids, so a little distance could not hurt.Madeline just smiled, letting the conversation drop.Out of nowhere, Bernard blurted, "What's with the mark on your face?"Crap.Yahir mentally facepalmed. "Bernard, ever heard of tact? Please just zip it like you usually do."Yahir tugged at Bernard's sleeve, but Bernard ignored him, eyes locked on Madeline, waiting for her to spill.Suddenly, all eyes in the elevator were on her.Honestly, they were all dying to know.Madeline lightly touched the mark on her left cheek. "This? Early this morning, I got a slap from Lydia'

"Trevon," Lydia called out, her voice a tender mix of sorrow and hurt.Her wrist was swathed in thick white bandages, looped around her neck for extra support, making her look even more delicate against the October chill. She was dressed in nothing but a light blouse, which made her seem all the more fragile and endearing.Trevon's eyes landed on her immediately, and he almost went to her but checked himself at the last second.Lydia's heart sank a little more.Only when they were close enough to speak without raising their voices did Trevon finally say, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be resting in the hospital?"Lydia hung her head dejectedly. "I... I just missed you," she murmured, knowing better than to make a scene out there.Trevon frowned. "Come on. Let's grab something to eat."He set off at a brisk pace.Lydia shot Madeline a challenging look and hurried after him.Madeline laughed softly and trailed behind, casually taking out her phone to capture a picture of Trevo

A waiter approached the group with a warm smile. "Miss, I'll place the order for you."Lydia, though irked, could only shoot Trevon a look of longing and stay silent. Trevon, however, seemed oblivious to her, his attention fixed on Madeline.Madeline was the picture of poise as she ate.Her bowl was filled with a generous serving of beef, courtesy of Bernard's attentive offerings.She only intervened when the pile grew too high.Bernard had always been reserved, but with Madeline, he was a different man.As Trevon mulled over Bernard's earlier remark about beauty, a surge of irritation welled up inside him, and he abruptly set down his cutlery.Yahir blurted out, "Trevon, lost in thought? Not hungry? Pass that beef over to me! I can't get enough of it!"Trevon slid the beef across the table with a look of distaste. "This place is just so-so. Next time, I'll have someone bring in some prime cattle from Sheffield.""Ah, now you're talking!" Yahir said between mouthfuls. "Make su

In no time, the manager presented a new option. "Let's try a different dress that doesn't need heels. Our latest design is all about comfort. You could even rock it with flats."The dress was a soft shade of green, its elegance matched by a quiet grace. Madeline slipped into it and felt transformed, like a refreshing spring."This is the one. These shoes too.""Sure thing. We'll need to tweak the fit, but it'll be ready by tonight."Madeline offered a grateful smile. "Thanks a bunch."…Meanwhile, Lydia was facing a dilemma. The sales lady hesitated. "This gown is custom-made, so it's a tad snug at the waist. Maybe try another?"However, Lydia was smitten, diamonds and all. Ignoring the advice, she inhaled sharply and yanked the zipper up. She gazed at her reflection—she was dazzling.The sales lady watched Lydia's triumphant poses, her heart racing with concern.The diamonds were like stars in the sky, each one connected to the next. However, if a single gem were to slip away
