The thought flashed through my mind before I immediately stopped walking.
"...No."
I shut my eyes tightly.
"What am I even thinking?"
MADDELYN'S POVI stared at Wyne who was practically glaring at Adrian... Andrew perhaps took the hint and just leaned back and nodded, not saying another word, at least not to me..Suddenly his eyes shifted to Matilda who was just minding her business and started talking to her... I could see her getting a bit taken a back too...I glanced at Wyne who, now didn't care if Adrian was talking to Matilda who was surely the 'employee' he was talking about just now... His eyes were glued to his phone and looked like he was typing something fast...Though the comment was a bit unhinged, I didn't really mind it... It somehow made me feel good... It made me feel protected even though I could have just flipped off this Adrian and deal with the consequenses later...It's not like I would admit it but I do like this side of Wyne, minus the comment because if alone right now, I would have given him earful for saying that..It was finally time to board.We made our way toward the private jet, with
WYNE'S POVI noticed her the moment she walked in... Of course I had to when I kept on glancing towards the entrance... Even though I know she is going to show up, this is Maddelyn we are talking about... I won't be surprised if she didn't show up... But she did...Wearing something more casual than professional... And I realized that this is the first time I saw her dressed this casually... Then I noticed another figure. Adrian Cole.I had met him few times during meetings... He wasn't suppose to join us initially but made a request since he had some technical issues with his own private Jet... I didn't think much of it back then but now I am regretting it.. I should have just refused...I couldn't properly hear what Matilda was explaining because all my attention was on Maddelyn and this bastard Adrian...The way he was talking to her and making moves on her and the way she was trying hard to turn him down every time is mak
MADELYN'S POVThe airport was already busy when I arrived.Thankfully, I wasn't traveling like a normal passenger today.A private entrance had been arranged for Blackgold, which meant I didn't have to deal with the usual crowds, endless security lines, or people rushing around with suitcases.Still... I wasn't exactly thrilled about being here.I adjusted the strap of my handbag on my shoulder as I walked through the private terminal.Porto Rico. Three days. Business negotiations. And Wyne Moretti.I was already regretting agreeing to this. Although... technically, I hadn't exactly agreed. I had been blackmailed.There was a difference.I entered the VIP lounge and immediately spotted Wyne.Of course I did. He was impossible to miss.He sat comfortably on one of the leather sofas, one leg crossed over the other, dressed in a perfectly tailored dark suit. His phone rested on the table beside him while Matilda stood nearby, holding a tablet and going through several reports."...The re
MADELYN'S POVThe next morning, I arrived at the office earlier than usual. I had barely stepped out of the elevator when I remembered what happened the night before. I left early in the morning without saying anything to anyone... Everyone will get busy for their day anyway... Last night's incidents are still fresh in my mind... Father's words. The Morettis. Grandfather. That ridiculous deal that made no sense to me and went absolutely against my morals... I can't believe I stood there through every word he said...And somehow... Wyne Moretti was at the center of all of it. As if his target was to bring down the Moretti's... I shook my head. Not now. I wasn't going to let personal matters interfere with work. At least... not yet. Not until I know the whole truth about my grandfather....I walked straight toward Wyne's office. Matilda glanced at me and immediately stood. She looked much better than that night... She smiled at me with gratefulness..."Good morning, Madelyn""Morning.
MADELYN'S POV"Pray that what he was saying isn't the truth, Wyne Moretti... Because if it is... I'll destroy that company in a way generations won't forget."The thought flashed through my mind before I immediately stopped walking."...No."I shut my eyes tightly."What am I even thinking?"I let out a slow breath. I had spent years teaching myself never to make decisions while angry. That rule had built my company. It had saved me from countless mistakes. I wasn't about to abandon it now.I knew nothing. Only one side of the story. One accusation. Nothing more. Until I heard everything... Until I found proof... I refused to judge anyone.Not Wyne. Not the Morettis. Not even Father. First of allI don't trust my father...
MADELYN'S POVHis words echoed through the study."It was the Morettis that pushed your grandfather to his death."For the first time since entering the room... I was genuinely speechless."...What?"Father held my gaze without wavering."You heard me.""No."I shook my head almost immediately."That's impossible.""Is it?""The Morettis have been our competitors for decades. They're ruthless. But pushing someone to their death?"I took another step toward him."...No. I don't believe that."Father's expression remained unreadable."You don't believe me?""I don't.""Why?""Because you're asking me to spy on Wyne. Because you've already admitted you want Blackgold destroyed. So how am I supposed to know this isn't another attempt to manipulate me?"
WYNE'S POV The week rolled to an end with endless works, meetings and thoughts of her.. Checking if she really came to join bugged me daily.. But being the CEO I couldn't ask my secretary everyday for her.. I would look so desperate, The nerve on my jaw pulsed while boring hole on the wall clock
WYNE'S POV "I said what I said.. And it's true.. You're egoistic and give a 'don't care ' attitude.. Even Mr Ashford will agree if not fearing you.. 'Sir '... " I stared at her rendered speechless along with others.. And that 'sir ' at the end was not with due respect but taunt.. "Madelyn!! "
THIRD PERSON'S POV His smile dropped. "If I ever get a chance.. I'll grab his hair and yank it until all that arrogance leaves his body.. " Something flashed across Wyne's eyes.. More than anger, it was amusement and a challenge.. He got up and walked to her.. Standing just inches away from
WYNE'S POV My eyes darted across the room on the employees of the financial department who fucked up real bad.. Is this why I pay them? To mess up my company and make things difficult for me? Absolutely not! I could just fire each and everyone for messing up the numbers but that would be another d
