Chapter 31

Once Madeline saw Trevon for who he really was, her disdain for him grew by the minute.'Just listen to the nonsense he spouts.'Madeline, twirling her juice glass, casually remarked, "Mr. Gibson, there's no need to scout for a new flame. You already have one on standby. Since we've shared a life, let me leave you with some wisdom. I can't stand a man who plays by two sets of rules."Trevon's complexion turned stormy, his eyes deep pools of brewing anger.Lydia's face was a picture of hurt innocence. "Madeline, how can you say such things about Trevon? He's just looking out for you."Yeneth suddenly walked in, catching Lydia's words and losing her composure. She grabbed a juice from the table and drenched Lydia with it."Shame on you! The nerve, cozying up to your sister's husband and then preaching about reputation."Lydia, caught off guard, was drenched on the spot. She was never one to be caught in such a mess, pointing at Yeneth, speechless.Yeneth, with her hands defiantly

I..."She smacked herself across the face in a fit of self-blame.Madeline reached out to her. "It's not your fault, you silly girl."However, deep down, Madeline blamed herself. She should have kept her distance from Trevon and Lydia.Both women were in tears, prompting the doctor to intervene."Enough crying. It'll only make things worse. What you need right now is to stay positive. Give that little one inside you all the strength you can muster. That's its best shot at survival!"The doctor's words reignited Madeline's resolve, and she quickly dried her eyes.She needed to be strong for her baby.Through her tears, Yeneth managed to laugh. "I'll... I'll dance for you and try to get a smile out of you."She started to dance with her clumsy limbs and tear-streaked face, looking utterly ridiculous.It worked. Madeline could not help

I'll own up to it."Lydia claimed to be going with the flow, but she stepped up to take the blame, acting like she would do anything for the project and the company.However, what was

Xystos Tech could really use someone like her."Bernard caught on quickly. "You want her to take a crack at the spokesperson's portrait?"Trevon had no objections. With that settled, Bernard went back to his training routine.Yahir looked puzzled. "That's it?

"Trevon, if we go through with this, how will I ever make a name for myself in the art world?"Trevon

"That useless idiot! Is Madeline okay?"Ryan replied, "Mrs. Gibson's friend rushed her to the hospital. The doctor said she took quite a hit, so she's still in the hospital bed." Caleb had managed to keep the pregnancy a secret, preventing any rumors. Edith swore again. "Make sure Madeline gets the rest she needs to recover. Find Trevon quickly and tell him I've passed out.

His arrival was noticeable, and the pair glanced his way.Trevon quickly gathered his rage as he approached.He stopped in front of Madeline, his eyes shifting between the two, a mocking smile forming as he noticed the coat on Madeline's shoulders."Ignoring calls, and now you're home late with another guy. Still claiming you haven't moved on?"Trevon's words were harsh.Caleb instinctively moved Madeline behind him. "Trevon, don't make this any harder than it has to be! Madeline nearly ended up being admitted to the hospital because of how you shoved her. If you don't believe me, the hospital records are there to prove it."Trevon's frown was barely noticeable as he responded calmly. "I know better than anyone whether she's hurt. Why would someone like you, Mr. Caleb Jabs, need to lie for a woman?"Caleb's brow furrowed in concern. "Trevon, what's that supposed to mean? You realize Madeline was nearly—""Hey."Madeline's frail, raspy voice cut through the tension as she stepp

Trevon, fighting off a wave of nausea, dialed a number."I need Madeline's medical records from the hospital today."Once he had given the order, he knew it was not the time to seek out Madeline, so he retreated to his room to rest.The nausea was relentless.He had just missed Madeline and Yeneth's chat about Lily Mora."The company wants to offer you the role of a featured artist. What's your take, Madeline?"Madeline's brow creased in thought.Ever since the incident, she grew wary of the Skylandia project, and especially Lydia.Madeline assumed her minor contracting role kept her well away from Lydia's reach.

She had never been part of the corporate world, but she was not clueless.Lydia had to despise her after what happened, and would surely make her life difficult.That kind of str
