All Chapters of The Love Triangle: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

Madeline's eyes widened as she grasped his meaning."No, I can't do that," she said quickly, her body instinctively pulling away.The baby was only twelve weeks along, still so fragile. What if something went wrong? Her rejection felt like a dagger to Trevon's heart. Did she prefer Caleb, the outsider? The mere thought made Trevon's blood boil with a murderous rage. He would never allow it. No one else was going to lay a hand on Madeline. She belonged to him."If we don't do this, you won't be able to find peace," he said, his voice firm.Trevon was untying the strap at his collar and, with a mischievous glint in his eye, gently wrapped the strap around Madeline's wrists despite her look of utter disbelief."Don't worry, this will be over before you know it.""Uh…" Madeline tried to speak, but her words were stuck in her mouth...It took a while, but the room finally fell silent.Madeline caught her breath, her eyes blankly fixed on the ceiling, her mind a million miles away.

Once Trevon had gone, Madeline stayed slumped on the hospital bed, lost in thought. His parting words kept replaying in her mind. He meant them.Of that, Madeline was now utterly convinced. However, she was more puzzled than ever. Trevon did not seem like himself. What has changed?Felicia entered with an older woman in tow, both wearing looks of concern. "Mrs. Gibson, are you alright?" Felicia asked.Madeline snapped out of her reverie and managed a weary smile. "I'm okay."Felicia examined Madeline closely, relieved to see that, apart from fatigue, there were no signs of illness."Madam Gibson heard you were hospitalized. She wanted to come by, but she didn't want to stir up any fuss during the birthday festivities, so she decided against it."She later found out about the drugging incident and that Trevon was handling it. She stayed away to spare Madeline any potential embarrassment.However, that was something Felicia would not say outright to Madeline."Oh, by the way, Mrs

"I said I'd quit, didn't I? So why is Madeline still on my case?" Lydia cried out. "She slapped me right there in front of everyone. How am I supposed to look my coworkers in the eye now? I'm totally humiliated!" Tears streamed down her face as she spoke.Trevon did not even look up until he was done with his paperwork. "Madeline showed up at the office?" he asked, finally giving Lydia his attention. Lydia was fuming. Was that all he cared about after her tearful tale?Trevon cracked a slight smile and said coolly, "Didn't you ask to keep it from Madeline for now? Besides, you're heading off to Itania soon. You won't have to deal with office folks much longer. Just tie up any loose ends with your work and have Camden find someone to take over your duties."Lydia was floored. She had expected Trevon to be upset, to give Madeline a piece of his mind for causing a scene, but he seemed totally unfazed. He was different now."Trevon, there's something I need to talk to you about," Lydia

Messages from Aaron and Yeneth pinged onto Madeline's phone back-to-back.Aaron: [Hey, how's the scene coming along? If you can, dial up the details. We need it to be top-notch for the showdown.]Yeneth: [Lydia's scene is in, and it's pretty slick. What's your status? You've gotta outdo her!]Madeline kept it brief, shooting back just an "Ok" emoji.Yeneth could tell Madeline was playing her cards close to her chest, but she could not help feeling a bit relieved. [We weren't even going to wait for you, but Lydia's the one who piped up. You don't think she's up to something, do you?]Madeline, not one for many words in a message, actually responded, [Guess I owe her one, then.]She took a moment to eye her nearly complete masterpiece, her face a mask of cool determination.Lydia was angling to make herself indispensable to Skylandia.Madeline was having none of it.She really did not need to flaunt her stuff in front of her. Madeline would make sure she got a front-row seat to

Madeline was not new to the Crystal River Clubhouse. It was the usual hangout for the rich kids of Redenbaugh City.Today, Trevon had reserved the whole place just for Lydia's birthday party, and the bill for that alone was through the roof—over ten million.Starting at the entrance, the place was decked out with flowers, pink roses rippling in the autumn wind, creating waves of breathtaking beauty. She knew pink roses stood for being touched, a love declaration, symbolizing first love.Trevon was celebrating the sweet memories of his first love with Lydia. A tribute, a remembrance. So what was with his constant promises not to divorce her? Was he just trying to keep her calm, to prevent her from causing a scene, not to mess with what he had with Lydia? She had already let go. Why was he still messing with her feelings?Lydia, in her dress and diamond tiara, looked stunning, like a princess. His princess. It was a gesture that was truly awe-inspiring. It was the kind of thing that
