MADISON’S POV
Three years. One goal. I have to find out how my father - Jonas Lincoln died three years ago.
As time passes, your head gets clear of doubts and confusions and then you notice things you never tried to notice before. Many lies get exposed and many secrets come into light from the dark.
Three years ago, I, Madison Lincoln - ex wife of Damien Knight Castillo divorced him because I was broken and tired. My father had died by committing suicide as many said and my ex husband loved someone else.
I decided to disappear, leaving everything behind. Money. Power. Prestige.
For a month after leaving everything behind, I lived my life travelling the whole world and trying to overcome this empty feeling in my heart.
A month of loneliness had caused my situation to turn worse instead of helping me with reclaiming the peace of my mind and then after that month…

MADISON’S POV“ Hayes! What do you think you are doing? This kidnapping and all…Have you lost your mind? ” I hiss at him, curling my hands into fists to hide the way they are trembling after seeing him.Three years. I spent a long time all alone and it’s hard to face him now. I hate to admit it, but I am not that strong and fierce Madison Lincoln anymore who knew how to get what she wanted. I am just a depressed, scared woman now who wants to get back at her ex-husband for snatching everything away from her.Hayes steps forth and unbuttons his coat, causing my eyes to go wide.“ What - What do you think you are doing? ” I stutter, taking a step back from him.“ I am doing what you wanted me to do from the start. ” He replies calmly, but the anger shining in his eyes tells a different story.I take a step back, my mind going numb for a moment.
MADISON’S POV He feels disgusted by me? I exhale softly and open my eyes before closing them again. He should feel disgusted. That way he will stay away from me and he will find it in himself to move on so he can find someone really deserving of him. Someone innocent, pure and kind-hearted. He leans closer and plants his lips on my neck. Soft at first, but then hard like he is reminding himself that he is taking revenge. He sucks and bites all over my neck, leaving purplish marks behind. I bite my lower lip to contain the sounds of pleasure from coming out of my mouth. I am not supposed to feel good by this, I remind myself. His hands trace both my sides, his touch light and feathery. He trails his hands up until he cups my clothed breasts and gives them a hard squeeze. I moan at the feeling, my own hands shooting up to hold his shoulders for support. His thumbs circle my nipples
MADISON POVHe hates me now? That’s new coming form him. It’s hard to believe he can actually hate me.After everything, he just left the room and let me go.This fucking Hayes Christian chapter is closed now, I hope.One day has passed and I am staying at a hotel instead of going to Lincoln Villa. I didn’t go there even once because that place reminds me of the bad memories.I stare out of the window in my hotel’s room and think about everything again.When I started investigating about my father’s death, I got to know that my father took Alice to his forest cabin and then someone set it on fire. On the same day, Alice was admitted to hospital because she had inhaled smoke and her hand was burned. It can not be a coincidence. She knows what happened.After whatever conspired between Alice and my father, my father’s body was found in
MADISON POVI can’t believe it. She still has the audacity to act so innocent.I look away from her, before I smile humourlessly in disbelief.“ What is she saying Damien? ” Alice gasps, grabbing my attention.I look back at her and notice her baffled expressions. Detaching my eyes from her, I glance at Damien who is now glaring at me like I have ruined something for him.“ That’s what you are going to do? Pretend your husband didn’t kill our father? ” I chuckle, shaking my head, disbelief still coursing through my head.“ You know what Alice…” I stop laughing and my expressions turn grave as I address her.“ Just tell me what was your role in all this? ” I take a step forward, my unforgiving eyes switching between both of them.“ Madison. I think you have a misunderstanding. We should sit down and talk it out. ” Alice replies
MADISON’S POVThreatening and challenging Damien Knight Castillo is one thing and really finding the way to Destroy him is entirely another thing. It’s impossible to think of something so good that he won’t be able to stop me.As I think about all ways I can make the police reopen the case, I go to Lincoln Villa finally.I stand outside my magnificent house, staring at it for at least an hour.So beautiful. The place before me, my home…is so so beautiful that it’s impossible to overlook the beauty and dive right into the horrific memories attached to this place.Shaking my head, I make my way inside. Memories whisper to me becoming horrifying voices in my head.Max is waiting for me in the living room. He looks after the house now as a loyal servant like before. I called him earlier and asked him to meet me in the living room so I can talk to him
MADISON'S POVI was back to that place again, my father’s study where he was teaching me how I was supposed to love my friend Damien if I wanted to be at the top.Damien. The one on the top. The heir of the biggest corporation. The most powerful around here.Damien and not Hayes and not anyone else.Just Damien. Damien was the top where I was supposed to reach.I was thinking about it again, the day I forced myself to look at him that way. I was fairly young, only 12 and I already knew that I will make Damien mine. He will be my King and I will be his Queen - the perfect match. No one will be able to come between us and if someone did, I will do what my father taught me. I will step down on the broken neck of the one coming between me and him and I will make it to him.I will always make it to him. To my Damien.But there was another one I could never forget. The complete opposite of us all. The only generous an
MADISON’S POVI am drowning in the blurry, dark water. But I try to stay afloat. My feet kick the water, unable to push me up. My arms flail around helplessly.Water fills my lungs, slowly, inch by inch. I can feel the burn in my body intensifying as I feel my body beginning to give up.‘ You have to win. If you fail, you die. ’ A cold whisper and then I am out of water, gasping desperately for air.I gasp and sit up instantly. My wild eyes move around the white room, trying to recall what has happened.Moving around, my eyes pause on the man sitting on the chair beside me. His face is placed in his palm, his elbow supported on the chair’s arm. His eyes are closed, his breathing even and his hair tousled.I gulp, seeing him sitting there and gradually everything hits my mind.
MADISON’S POVI wait for Alice who arrives after an hour or so.She sits down on one of the couches in the living room while I sit opposite her.“ What happened to your face? ” That’s the first question she asks from me.I blink at her. Should I tell her? I wonder, but then…why should I tell her anything?“ Nothing.” I inhale sharply. “ What do you want to tell me? ”She realises I don’t want to tell her anything about myself so she presses her lips in a thin line and gives up on asking me stupid ass questions.“ I know you won’t believe me but… ” she starts when I cut her off.“ If you think I won’t believe you, then don’t bother telling me whatever you want to say. ” I shrug my shoulders nonchalantly.I fold my arms on my chest and shoot her a bo
