Chapter 10

Penulis: Anonymous
The dinner party was just about to start when Madeline arrived at the Bloomberg residence. She handed the gift she'd prepared to a maid and looked at Timothy, who was already seated at the table.

He was talking to someone else, so he didn't notice her arrival. She looked around, relieved when she didn't see Lacey anywhere. It seemed the latter wasn't in attendance.

Joseph frowned slightly when he saw her. "Why have you only just arrived, Maddie?"

"I got caught in traffic. Happy birthday, Joseph." The look on Madeline's face was infallible. She smiled as she took the empty seat beside Timothy.

Only then did he notice her. He returned to his senses and lowered his head in her direction, asking in a voice only audible to them both, "Were you working late? What took you so long to get here?"

She didn't expect him to ask that. After a pause, she said, "You told me to wait for you in the parking lot. You said we would come together."

The realization dawned on Timothy. He said apologeti

    That night, Madeline checked into a hotel. Ellis was worried that she might have nightmares in the middle of the night, so he opted to stay by her side.His actions warmed Madeline's heart greatly.As for Timothy, he was detained in the police station. He applied for reconciliation with Madeline, but the latter didn't agree to it. After all, adults should pay the price for their actions, no matter what. Moreover, she no longer loved Timothy.On top of that, the police told Madeline a terrifying piece of news. Timothy didn't break into her apartment—he was able to open the front door with a set of spare keys simply because he was her landlord.The moment Madeline heard the news, she felt a wave of numbness washing over her. It turned out that Timothy had already begun to lay out his scheme the moment she returned to Loraynea. That was how she'd ended up walking into his trap.That thought made Madeline panic. She started suffering from insomnia every night. That was, until the rese

    A pregnant pause later, Madeline turned away from Timothy, not even wanting to spare him another look. The way she was being cold and distant toward Timothy made his heart throb in great pain.He stared at her, not knowing what to say for once.Madeline took a deep breath before saying coldly, "I've already called the police. I'm still sticking to the same perspective. Let's not meet each other anymore. You should leave while you can."Timothy panicked after hearing Madeline's words. He quickly got up and grabbed her arm. Even the way he spoke became more humble."Maddie, don't be like this. Let me apologize to you, alright? I'm sorry, Maddie. Tell me where I went wrong. Just tell me everything, okay? I'll change my ways! Please don't ignore me!"Before he could finish speaking, Madeline interjected instantly, "Things will never go back to the way they once were. Ever. That's because I no longer love you."Silence descended upon the living room for a very long time. Timothy and M

    Madeline worked fast. The next day, she requested Ellis to help her scout for a new apartment after telling him her current situation.Ellis was more than happy to help her out. For the sake of Madeline's safety, he soon rented an apartment that was located in his neighborhood. She'd be able to move into that apartment two days later.Madeline treated Ellis to dinner out of gratitude. The restaurant was only a short distance away from their apartments. After dinner, both of them chatted while walking home together.After Ellis left Madeline's neighborhood, he returned to his own apartment. The thought of living in the same neighborhood as Madeline in the future made him fantasize about life after she moved in.She'd love this place… right?Ellis moved to the couch, where he picked up his phone and began texting Madeline."Are you asleep?"At that time, Madeline was still lounging on her couch in the living room while scrolling through her phone. When she saw Ellis' text, she tap

    A few days later, Madeline walked out of the research center with the files that she had just copied. That was when a black Maybach stopped before her.She glanced at it instinctively, only to meet Timothy's deep eyes.Ugh! That man really was a pest!Madeline's sleek brows were slightly bunched up at the sight of the car that blocked her way, as well as the person sitting in said car."Get in," Timothy said coolly after opening the car door.But Madeline didn't move an inch. She asked coldly, "What do you want?"Timothy didn't say anything at all. He just stared at her. A while later, he finally repeated his words."Get. In.""If you have something to say, you can say it to me here. I don't want—"Before Madeline could finish her sentence, she felt a strong force pulling her into the car. The next thing she knew, she fell into Timothy's arms. Her body stiffened up instantly upon contact.Timothy's scent remained the same. It was familiar to her as always.But Madeline frown

    Ellis's heart sank instantly. He put down his wine glass, a look of surprise evident on his face. Almost immediately, his legs began moving on their own. Soon, he found himself chasing after Madeline.In comparison to the boisterous ballroom where the guests drank and danced, the lobby was a lot more vacant. Occasionally, a patron or two could be seen wandering down the corridor.Although the thermostat in the lobby was turned up quite high, Madeline still felt chilly thanks to her exposed shoulders. She shielded her chest with her hands that carried her purse and kept her lips pursed while making her way toward the washroom located at the end of the corridor."Madeline!" Ellis called out to her from behind.Madeline stopped in her tracks, giving Ellis a chance to reach her side in just a few steps. Naturally, he saw the ruined gown for himself.Ellis wanted to compliment Madeline's gown at first, but the sight lodged the compliment in his throat. Clearly, he was stunned by what h

    With a dark expression, Timothy stared down at the photos sent by his assistant in an office building located in Cyberton. Those photos featured Madeline and Ellis.Timothy continued scrolling through the photos, his expression blank. Finally, he stopped on a particular photo.It was a photo of Madeline and Ellis sitting in the Ferris wheel's compartment while admiring the snowy scenery. The thing was, Madeline was doing just that. Ellis, on the other hand… was staring at her.Although the photo was a little blurry, anyone could still tell that Ellis was staring at Madeline with pure affection in his eyes.This photo reminded Timothy of a particular time when Madeline had suggested riding the Ferris wheel with him when they were still dating. Unfortunately, Timothy had acrophobia, so he was unable to ride the Ferris wheel at all.Men were all prideful creatures. Timothy refused to let Madeline find out about his phobia—or worse, witness his frightened side. That was why he often u
