A Reckless Dream Chapter Sixty-Six – Maddox Recovers
“He moved his fingers again!” Declan couldn’t contain his excitement. He had reached the hospital in record time and completed all the formalities promptly. The new treatment plan started, and the doctors monitored Maddox closely.“Yes, he’s responding to the treatment. Keep talking to the patient. He can hear you.” The nurse smiled as she injected the medicine.Declan’s heart swelled with hope as he sat beside his best friend. “Wake up, Maddox. There’s so much to do. You can’t lie here when you’re fit enough to lead a fulfilling life with Iris and your daughter. Yes, Iris has given birth to your daughter. Don’t you want to meet them?”Maddox moved his hand as if in response to his words. Declan’s eyes filled with tears. “You must be thinking how I know so much about Iris. I’m sorry, I met her brothers without your permission, bro. They told me where Iris is. Open your eyes, Maddox.” His voice trembled as tears streamed down his cheeks.A slight tremor went up Maddox’s body. Declan ro
A Reckless Dream Chapter Sixty-Five – Seeking Help From The Twins
Declan stared at his best friend’s fingers. Did he imagine them moving?In the last two years, Declan had done everything he could to help Maddox recover. Yet he sank into oblivion with each passing day. His body was functioning, but he refused to wake up. He had slipped into a coma the day after his accident with no signs of recovery ever since. The police found Maddox’s charred car and traced his details through the VIN stamped on the engine block. They called at Escapades to inform him. Declan wasted no time and had been at Maddox’s side ever since.Despite Everett Drexel’s attempt at destroying evidence, the cops unearthed everything with Declan’s help. The traffic cameras nearby helped the police identify the murderer and his vehicle. A probe linked him to Evangeline Laurier, and he was arrested from his hideout in Lancaster.With Drexel serving a life sentence in prison, Declan could concentrate on his friend. Every day, he discussed ways with the doctors to revive him. The do
A Reckless Dream Chapter Sixty-Four – A Lone Struggle
Two Years LaterIris returned to her little cottage and gasped to see her brothers waiting for her. “When did you come down? You could have called me from the farm kitchen.”It had been almost two years since she had escaped that fateful night to the Alpine Farms. Nestled in the hills of Portola Valley, approximately 30 miles south of San Francisco, it had been her home for the last two years. She had given birth to her daughter, Esme, here and struggled alone to bring her up. This place had given her everything that her loved one hadn’t.Maddox might be happily married to Lucille already. He might not even remember her. She had no news of him after the night she had escaped death.“You were busy, Iris. We visited Esme at the daycare. It was her lunchtime, so we came here to wait for you,” said Isaac, easing the bag from her hands.“Why do you work so hard here, Iris? Why don’t you come down to the university? You can easily find a clerical job with Alvin’s help. The benefits and mone
A Reckless Dream Chapter Sixty-Three – The Same Fate?
“It’s not safe for you to travel tonight, Maddox. The strenuous trials have left you mentally exhausted. Sleep it off and set out tomorrow.” Declan tried his best to stop his best friend. He hadn’t gone home after the case, trying to drill some sense into Maddox’s head. But Maddox was adamant. He wouldn’t stay here another night without Iris.“I can’t sleep, Declan. The house is closing in on me. Until I find Iris, I won’t return.” He picked up his luggage and strode out to the main door, paying no heed to Declan’s advice.He rushed after his friend to stop him. “Where are you going? I’m coming along with you.”“No, you can look after Escapades in my absence. I’m going to Stanford University to see the twins. I’m sure they know about Iris’s whereabouts. Once I find her, I’ll convince her to return home with me. Don’t worry, I’ll keep you updated.”Declan stopped, giving up. “But you aren’t in a condition to drive, bro.”Maddox waved him off as he got into his car. “I’m fine, dude. Go
A Reckless Dream Chapter Sixty-Two – Lucille’s Confession
Maddox waited patiently for Lucille’s entry into the courtroom. He wanted to know Lucille’s true motive behind her behavior. It couldn’t be love. He could feel how much she hated him. Then why did she want to marry him? Why was she obsessed with him?Strangely, it had started after Lennox’s death.“There she is. I think she’s mad at you. Look at the way she’s glaring at you,” Declan leaned in to whisper.Maddox glared back at her, the fury and hatred clear on his features. He wanted her to face the same fate as her co-conspirators. Having her around was a threat to his mental and physical well-being. She was as toxic as her parents.Her three friends were brought in as well, and now all four glared at him. Maddox didn’t care. The defense attorney, Sigmund Floyd, an international celebrity lawyer, strode into the courtroom with his team. He gave everyone a look of disgust as he joined Rebekah’s father.The judge arrived, and soon the court proceedings began. He addressed Lucille, who s
A Reckless Dream Chapter Sixty-One – Justice For Iris’s Mom
The next day, Maddox arrived in court for Gary Laurier’s trial. The defendant repeated what he had already admitted during the interrogation. Victor Drupal, the defense attorney, tried every trick to save his best friend.“Members of the jury, the prosecution has spent hours telling you about the crimes that have taken place. They have shown you evidence of what others had done. However, they cannot provide you with any evidence that Gary Laurier ever agreed to participate in it. He had been blackmailed into cooperating with Mrs. Laurier. The evidence I present throughout this session will corroborate my claim further.”The judge looked unconvinced. “Are you testifying in exchange for a lighter sentence for your client, Mr. Drupal? A crime has taken place, and the defendant’s active participation has been proved in court yesterday - case number 24LLCR37561.”“No, Your Honor, I intended to focus on my client’s forced participation in the crimes. He had been blackmailed into it.” Victor
