"Madi..." Emily mumbled as her gaze flew to Madison, who had just returned from serving their Sir Sven, and instead of the proud smile Madison would have flashed in front of them, Madison's eyes were misted with tears, and her voice produced suppressed sobs.Their Young Master's Gathering ended earlier than they expected. Emily noticed Sven screaming and searching for Dylan in outrage, but some friends were blocking him from doing so. Mila appeared as the door opened; her gaze was solemn."Madison, tell us, what happened?" Mila queried as her fingers traced and knotted Madison's hair. I was serving the blond man when he grabbed my hand...When the Young M-Master noticed it, he held my hand and dragged me into his room a-and..." Madison muttered as she swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat."And? Has he done something to you?" Madison grieved even harder as Mila's soft voice made her miss her Mother."He shouted terrible things to me; the Young Master paid for me, accused me
After taking a cold shower and wearing his office attire, he covered it with a Black Trench Coat Winter Jacket, revealing the glamor of his Angel wings Tassel Chain Brooch Collar Pins. Dylan puffed for air and tried to peek a glimpse outside his room, hoping that he would see Madison outside, but to his disappointment, there was no single trail of Madison outdoors."Young Master, your food." A maid knocked outside, announcing his breakfast had arrived."Just leave. I lost my appetite." Dylan reasoned out while fixing his hair and putting on his Wristwatch.He doesn't feel good. He didn't need anything. He just wanted to see Madison as if she were his energy source. Without Madison around, he couldn't think of anything aside from wanting to barge inside the Maid's Quarter and hold Madison. Then, kneeled in front of her and begged her for her forgiveness."Have a safe trip, Young Master," The maids said in unison as Dylan went inside his Aston Martin and drove his way to the office. He
Madison couldn't stop the silent sobs from her throat while holding her baggage inside the bus. Her tears were dry, but every time she remembered Dylan's terrible words, she would gaze out of the window and quickly wipe her tears away so that the other passengers wouldn't notice her crying.Dylan wasn't like that, and Madison firmly believed that. The person who threw her daggers of pain wasn't the Dylan she knew. The young Master that Madison knew may be playful and self-centered, but the man in front of her that night was a monster, and seeing him like that, he belittled and taunted her title, made her heart swell with emotion.Madison's heart gripped in pain as she kept thinking about how Dylan could easily say such words. Madison placed her left hand on her body where her heart was."What's this feeling?" She whispered in a tone of a question. Sophie once told her that loving someone wasn't only about happiness. It can be an extreme pain too. Was this unbearable feeling Madison fe
"Madison, buying a microwave is unnecessary. Honey, you just got home today and spendingyour money on this pricey stuff is too much," Ruth exclaimed, horrified at their oldest spending the results of her hard work from her previous job.Madison beamed and said, "Mother, I couldn't stand it when my sisters ate cold bread in themorning." While working at the Carter's Mansion, I learned how to use a microwave. You see, microwave ovens have a lot of benefits; I knew from Sophie that they can heat bread and leftover foods and are excellent for cookies and other desserts. Allow me to bake some cookies for you and the girls." Madison remarked.Madison gestured to her Aunt Sabina to take her mother out of the kitchen so that Madison could start preparing her cookies' ingredients. Her three sisters went outside and strolled in the town's outskirts because she gave Penelope a little money to buy what the three desired. Earlier, when she woke up from a nap, she asked her Aunt Sabina to assist
"Idiot!" Dylan burst out, annoyed at what was happening to him.He heaved a sigh to clear his mind. He had to do something. Only, he had no idea where to begin. If he could only talk to Madison, he might stop feeling upset. He always got what he wanted, after all. But how could he speak to Madison when he had no idea where he would find her?The last two days had been terrible already. The mansion felt strange without Madison. Dylan ran his hands over his head and sank into his bed out of exhaustion. He could not stand another day struggling with the same thing over again.In desperation, he dragged his butt out of bed and decided, "I need to talk to her!"He went to the kitchen and found Aunt Mila cooking alone."Good morning, Aunt Mila," Dylan began. The head housekeeper almost dropped the kitchen knife upon suddenly hearing a voice from behind. The desperate young man ignored it. In a casual tone, he continued to ask, "Do you know where Madison lives?"The look of shock was still e
Dylan let out a sigh before explaining. "To be honest, Mom, I haven't figured out why. I just... I just lost it when I saw her talking with Sven. But I am sorry, Mom. I didn't mean to hurt her." His voice was filled with regret and frustration. He added, "I yelled at her and Emily. I told Madison stupid things. She got offended, and I argued with her below the belt. I shouldn't have been rude. I should've just talked to Sven." Exposing his mistake in front of somebody else made him so ashamed that he avoided Laurene's eyes.Laurene dropped her hands to her lap. "That's not how I wanted you to grow up, Dylan," She replied disappointedly. Although nobody else could hear them, she lowered her voice and remarked, "I didn't work hard and give you a well-off life so that you could insult others. But now you're telling me you insulted Madison without knowing why. I can't believe you did it, Dylan." She scoffed in disbelief. Dylan had expected to hear those words. Those were not what he neede
Madison wanted to treat her family to lunch in town. But knowing the cost of dining in restaurants, Ruth firmly objected to the idea. She reasoned that it would be a waste of money.The primary income earner of the family flashed a warm smile. "It's on me, Mom. Let's do it just this once, okay? Besides, I'll be returning to the city this coming week. It might take a long while before I go back here. Let me make you happy," Madison persuaded. She stroked the fold on her mother's dress as if coaxing Ruth to get ready."Oh, Honey, you are so sweet," Ruth remarked. Although she appreciated her firstborn's invitation, she insisted, "But spending a few bucks for lunch is unnecessary. I can cook a delicious meal for us, can't I? Tell me, what do my girls want for lunch? Do you want garlic chicken and sauteed veggies? Quinoa salad? Bologna sandwich? Anyone?"Penelope giggled. "Mom, Madds rarely invites us to go outside. We should eat outdoors once in a while. Come on! Let's go!" she said exci
It only took a few minutes for Dylan to find Madison's house. He asked some residents until someone gave him directions to the Lopezes' residence. He was fidgeting when he parked his car in front of a small house only to find that Madison or anyone of her family was not home. Dylan learned from the neighbors that Madison and her family left at noon. It was nearly six in the evening, so he decided to wait inside his car for a while.A taxi stopped in front of the house. As soon as Madison alighted from the vehicle, Dylan abruptly got off his car. The presence of a CEO's son in the suburbs widened Madison's eyes. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief.With a stammering voice, Madison asked, "Sir... Sir Dylan?" As if taking Madison's confusion as a cue to introduce himself, Dylan approached the Lopez family.He broke the silence with a polite greeting. "Pleased to meet you, Mrs. Lopez." He exchanged handshakes with Ruth and glanced at Madison's sisters with a smile to show them respect. He fo
