During their trip back to Manila, the two were enveloped in awkward silence. Dylan tried to engage Madison in any topics that came to mind, but the latter only responded with a nod or concise words.Ever since they got home from the river, Dylan had noticed that Madison was acting distant toward him. He didn't know the reason and just thought that she was just tired.When the gate automatically opened, Dylan immediately parked his car in the garage. Then, he glanced at the beautiful woman sleeping in the passenger seat. He didn't wake her up but just silently gazed at her with his intense eyes. She looked peaceful and innocent, like a slumbering angel that the world had not tainted.Dylan muttered, "I want you to learn everything, Madison so that when the time comes, you can stand on your own feet." Dylan caressed her face as he watched her intently and vowed, "I know what I feel for you is not a simple liking. Being with you makes me feel happy and content. I will never let anyone hu
"Madison, Madam Laurene is calling you to her office," Emily said as soon as she entered the kitchen."Why?" Madison asked in astonishment."I don't know. Madam didn't say anything. You didn't know?" Emily asked her again, making Madison utterly confused. "What do you think? I was here while you were with Madam a while ago. So, how would I know?" Madison asked, making Emily glare at her."Oh my gosh, Madison. It's still early, and you're making me angry! Wash your hands and go there. Hurry up before the Madam leaves," Emily urged her before pushing her gently in front of the sink to wash her hands."Is Madam in a hurry, Emily?" Madison couldn't help but ask, as she enjoyed the task Mila gave to her. "Yes, yes, so don't dilly-dally here and go now, Madison," Emily answered before shooing her."Hmmph! Don't touch anything here. I'll finish it," Madison warned her before pointing at Emily. Emily raised her hands and helplessly said, "Okay, okay. Madam's about to leave and was just wa
Scarlett was caught off guard when her phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket."Fuck!" she cursed and irritably pulled the phone out of her pocket. When she saw who texted her, her irritation quickly disappeared, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her face. The text message came from Dylan. It said: [Where are you? Can I talk to you?] Smiling, Scarlett quickly replied: [Sure, babe. I'm at my apartment. I will wait for you here.]After hitting the send button, Scarlett felt so happy and excited. Immediately, she entered her bedroom and went straight to the bathroom, thinking that she had to look sexy and alluring in Dylan's eyes when he arrived later. When she was done taking a shower, she hurriedly looked into her walk-in closet for something beautiful to wear.In the end, Scarlett decided to wear red lacy lingerie and topped it with a silky bathrobe before going to the living room to wait for Dylan. Less than half an hour later, there was a knock on the door. Scarlett elegantly
On the way back, Madison bounced on her feet as she hugged her class schedule. Although she couldn’t understand what was written there besides the hours indicated, it was alright. She would just ask Emily to teach her later.As she entered the kitchen, Madison frowned and saw that the work she had left was about to be completed. Madison wanted to chastise Emily at first, but she reasoned that Emily wouldn't be willing to teach her if she did, so she sighed and said to herself, ‘Never mind. Emily should be thankful that I’m in a great mood today. Otherwise…’While washing the kitchen tools she had just used, Emily noticed Madison and curiously asked her, "Hey, why do you look so happy?""Of course," Madison smiled, " Who wouldn't be thrilled if they knew they might realize a lifelong dream?" She felt so happy as though she were flying through the air.Emily raised an eyebrow as she prepared the table. "Madison, what did Madam Laurene say made you so happy?" Madison immediately showed h
One similarity that Dylan discovered between Scarlett and Madison was that both took long when shopping, as most other women do. However, while Dylan carried piles of shopping bags when he used to go to the mall with Scarlett, the opposite was true now that he was with Madison. Putting his empty hands into his pockets, Dylan watched Madison roam around indecisively. Her eyes scanned something about the items she had taken. But she put them back as she shook her head and talked to herself indistinctly. It was the first time Dylan had gone shopping with Madison. But after an hour of letting Madison roam around the mall, Dylan could already tell they would spend the rest of the day having done nothing else if he did not interfere. He heaved a deep sigh before turning around and facing her. "Darling," Dylan called. "Look, we haven't purchased anything. Didn't you say that we'd go to the amusement park?" The crest between Madison's eyebrows had become more pronounced. Without saying any
Madison was supposed to be excited about her first day as a college student, but instead she was overcome with a flood of terror that had been building up inside of her for quite some time. It had been years since she had last attended a school or other type of learning facility. It was inevitable for her to experience a sense of disorientation now that she had been granted permission to obtain a degree and was admitted to an institution that only accepted students of American or Italian nationality. Luckily, Dylan was the one who drove her and Emily to the university. Even though he wanted to come inside with Madison, she requested that he leave the building immediately. Emily was there with her regardless. But how would she adjust to the new atmosphere, especially when Emily was not there and the other kids came from a variety of various places?Madison, while having lived in the city for over an entire year at this point, still had trouble locating her way around shopping centers,
Madison nodded and felt supported. 'Right! For Mom and my sisters!' she whispered to herself. Now that she had nobody next to her, Madison took a deep breath. Her eyes wandered around the spacious hall and saw that many seats were still unoccupied at this hour. "Scusi, è occupato questo posto?" a voice suddenly asked.Madison turned her head to the young woman next to her. "Huh?" she asked. It had only been a minute when Emily left, and somebody was already asking Madison something she had yet to learn. It was unexpected, so Emily's last reminder vanished in Madison's mind."È occupato questo posto?" the stranger repeated while pointing to the seat next to Madison.Madison could feel her chest racing in anxiousness and embarrassment. The young woman assumed that Madison did not hear the question correctly. It seemed both of them did not understand each other. "I'm sorry, what?" Madison asked.The young woman licked her lips before speaking in English. "I'm asking, is this seat taken?
Dylan and Laurene knew that because Madison didn't finish or even get into a secondary level, she didn't have a firm grasp of the Italian language that much. Dylan told Laurene about this and informed her that Madison could only reach elementary school because of their financial problems. Due to their circumstances, Madison had to stop her studies and focus on earning money at a young age. With that, she became the family's breadwinner and supported her sisters in their studies.But since Laurene believed that Madison was a brilliant woman, they found a way for her to get admitted to the university where Emily was currently attending.However, Madison had to spend six months learning at home to prepare for the acceleration test she needed to pass to obtain a certificate of completion for the secondary level and continue her degree in college.For Madison to prepare for the acceleration test, they gave her six months. She now had to pass it because it was the only requirement for her t
