MADISONI tried everything I possibly could to make Hayes forgive me. I didn’t think I would fall so madly in love with this one man I avoided my whole life. My love towards Hayes was not about his power, his status, his stature…It was all about him—Hayes, the man who loved me unconditionally all my life.This time, I want to do things right. I wouldn’t have pushed him if I didn’t know he still felt the same way about me. He loves me, it’s enough to make me fight for him. I will be the one putting in all the effort while I expect nothing from him—Just him, nothing else.Things are getting better. He listens to me, lets me stay by his side, and allows me to express my love.But there is this one problem between us. I saw my father again last night. The guard at the door said there was no one he saw. I continue to see my father and it keeps reminding me that I found out who murdered him and did absolutely nothing to avenge his death. Not that I want to avenge a monster like him, but I d
MADISONI don’t know what happened. One moment we were on our way to the psychiatrist and the next moment we were driving away from the route. My suspicions rose and I warned the driver that it was not the right way but he turned around, sprayed something on my face and then everything went black.When I woke up, I was already tied to a chair in some shady place and there was this man before me. My father. Again.Before I could scream or consider it my hallucination, he scratched at his neck and pulled some kind of mask from his face.The face I saw under the mask had my breath hitching in my throat.“ Max? ” I was confused.My eyes lowered to his mask and then his face. It clicked in my head. I was never seeing a ghost. I was only seeing a person impersonating that ghost.“ Damien knows. There is no use in pretending. I caught one of his men spying on me. ” He sighs, sulking in the chair opposite me.All the fear subsides, and after three years, I find the old Madison returning. I ch
HAYESI stare at the peaceful face of the one woman I have loved dearly throughout my life. Her wounded wrists are wrapped in bandages. She had cut so deep that the doctor said it was a miracle she didn’t cut her veins and I am so fucking grateful for this miracle.She fell unconscious due to blood loss and she is still in my bed, unaware of what’s going around her. I cleaned up her body and dressed her in my clothes to make her smell like me. It’s giving me a sense of calm right now. I want her drenched in my scent so I know she is here and she is mine.Damien took care of Max’s body and that chapter has closed. I didn’t wait to see what was happening. I picked up Madison and left earlier. I brought her straight to my house. On the way, I called Ava to fire all the staff. There was no one I trusted around her anymore. I wanted to be alone with her and keep her safe from all dangers.She hisses softly, breaking my chain of thoughts. Instantly, I cup her face and wait for her to open h
