Madison's POV"I want you to stay low until I arrive, no matter what happens today, make sure you save Lucy," I said to Kim the moment we arrived at our destination.The location Violet had given to me was a deserted area, with only uncompleted buildings and a cliff. I wondered why she chose this location.I came down from the car, with the gun behind my trouser, I waited for Violet to arrive and when she did, she arrived with hefty men."I thought we said no companies!" I yelled when she was approaching so she could hear me."That's for you not me," Violet stood in front of me with a smile on her face, "I have missed you.""Jail seemed to have been treating you right, why did you leave?" I remarked, I felt disgusted by being in her presence."Just needed a bit of fresh air and I missed your face, especially your eyes," Violet smiled and I laughed."Missed my face?" The laugh faded when I looked around her and realized Lucy wasn't with her, "Where is Lucy?"Violet looked around us, "S
Madison's POVI used my hands to wipe the blood off my eyes. The smile wiped away from my face as I saw the bullet pass through Kim's head, my eyes widened as Kim's head dropped to the steering wheel and blood began gushing out of her head.My first instinct was to stop the car, I managed to take control of the steering wheel and turned it till the car hit the tree and stopped.I came down from the car, my shaking hands dialed the ambulance number and my family's number, I was scared to touch her, I was scared. What if I touched her and she wouldn't wake up?I sat on the floor and waited for the ambulance, the tears coming out of my eyes refused to stop. Who shot the gun? Was it Violet and her people? Or the police?My family arrived before the ambulance didn't, "Madison, what happened? Why were you crying over the phone?" Leon's voice made me raise my head."What happened? What's Kim doing while you are here crying? What's all this blood?" Leon asked, feeling alert."Where is Lucy?"
Madison's POVI stood motionless as Kim's coffin was being laid to rest on the cold ground, it was a quick and private funeral, not the one to invite business people and all.Tears slipped down my eyes as the ground was being covered up, never had I ever imagined I would bury Kim, the plan was to get her a good life after all the drama Violet was causing.I turned to look at everyone around me, Leon's eyes were red so as others, everyone was crying for a reason.Nikki was crying because of Lucy, Leon, the kids' nanny and I were crying because of Kim, Lexie was crying because of God knows what, Nikki's husband and Jamie were emotionless and Adrian was quiet because he felt guilty and it was his fault."She is no longer with us anymore because of you," Leon spat out bitterly at Adrian and walked out of everyone.I couldn't bear it anymore, my heart was too weak to see it, I ran out of there to my room, I felt hurt because if Kim were to be alive she would have run after me. I sat on the
Madison's POVI wore a black T-shirt and jeans, I was mourning after all, I packed my hair into a neat bun, and put the gun Kim had given to me on the day she died in the back of my pocket.Someone knocked on my door, Ignored it, but the person still entered, "What do you want?" I asked when I realized it was Jamie, I saw him through the dressing mirror.Jamie sat on the bed, "You didn't say hi to Justin, I'm sure my mother already told you he's your son.""I will when I return, I'm sure Justin knows me as his aunt and your mother as his mother," I scoffed."Yes, you can still build that bond with me, one day he can call you mummy," Jamie smiled at me."Why are you even here?" I kept a straight face."I don't want you to go to my mother," Jamie said, I turned my chair to him."Why?" I raised my eyebrows."I'm scared, I'm scared that if you leave you won't come back again, can't you just stay, I will go instead and talk to my mother," Jamie held my hand in his.I removed my hand from h
EpilogueBoth Adrian and Leon ordered a search team to search the whole river, the search had been going on for two days, and yet nothing."Didn't I tell you not to shoot!

Madison's POVIt was a sunny Saturday morning, and I woke up feeling a sense of contentment, I reached for my phone on the night stand and check today's date and time.As I stretched in bed, a smile played on my lips. I woke up very late because I was up all night planning our two years anniversary. Xavier has been the best boyfriend anyone could ever ask for and I am grateful for him.Today was the day I had been eagerly anticipating. First, I would surprise my boyfriend, Xavier, with a special homemade breakfast. I had planned this for months so no way I wasn't going to make it flop.Without hesitation, I got out of bed and made my way to the kitchen, ready to whip up a delicious feast for my man. The scent of sizzling bacon and brewing coffee filled the air, creating an inviting atmosphere. As I set the table with care, excitement coursed through me. I imagined the look of surprise and delight on Xavier's face when he walked into the kitchen."Something is cooking," My bestie, Viole
Madison's POV"Am Adrian '' he introduced himself."Oh, forgive my bad manners, am Madison" I chuckled."Okay, it doesn't really matter though, by tomorrow you might not even remember meeting me" he chuckled."What is a beautiful lady such as yourself doing outside alone?" Adrian asked.I smiled at Adrian's playful remark, feeling a flicker of amusement amid the emotional turmoil within me."Well, Adrian," I began, "I found myself needing a breath of fresh air and a moment away from the chaos inside. Sometimes solitude can be comforting, even in a crowded place." I pointed at the bar entrance.Adrian nodded, his eyes filled with understanding. "I completely get that. Sometimes we need a little escape from the noise, and reality, It's important to take care of ourselves."A faint smile appeared on my lips, "I appreciate your perspective," I replied, a hint of vulnerability in my voice. "I'm actually going through a tough time right now. Dealing with a broken heart, you know, he cheat
Madison's POVAs I slowly opened my eyes, the bright morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, piercing through my pounding headache. Blinking a few times, I realized I was lying on a luxurious king-sized bed and this wasn't my room but something felt off. I instinctively reached for the covers, only to realize that I was completely naked. Panic started to creep in as I struggled to recall the events of the previous night. Memories were hazy and fragmented, like shattered pieces of a puzzle that refused to come together.I sat up gingerly, my head spinning as I surveyed the unfamiliar room. The walls were adorned with abstract paintings, and the furniture exuded an air of opulence. It was clear that I wasn't in my own home, but whose place was this? And how did I end up here?The room itself was pristine, with no signs of a wild party or any other people. I glanced around, searching for any clues that could help me piece together the puzzle. My mind raced, desperately trying to r
