The revelation

Chapter 5

Camera flashes filled every corner of the hall as my dad and I stepped out of the car.

The smile broke out of my lips as I tried to give the best look to the camera even though standing by my dad made me a bit nervous.

Once we got past the cameras and took a few pictures I walked right inside and for the first time in years, I saw my step sibling, standing beside my step mom.

“Madison, mom didn’t tell me you were back” Elena says as she rushed to hug me.

I nod and hugged her back begure pulling away and casting a glance to her son who would spare me a glance but I didn’t give a fuck, I never liked them.

“Madison I want to introduce you to some of my business partners” my dad doesn't wait for me to say a word as he pulls me away.

“Meet the swayer , they hold the biggest share in the company” dad tells me.

I raised my head to look at the middle aged man who I could tell was by the age of fifty with his wife beside him.

“Madison Morgan” I sat taking his hands as he kissed my cheeks.

She looks just like your ex wife, gorgeous and stunning. “ Your mother was one hell of an intelligent woman and your father tells me you’re working under Mr. Volko whom I know is best for his job. I can’t wait for you to be the CEO, I can tell you would do great things,” the man compliments.

My father forcefully smiles but says nothing.

The night continued with him introducing me to guests which I played along with.

By the time he was gone I was sitting at the far end of the table while I watched my father give a speech.

I tried to stay calm but instead the sudden sick feeling was beginning to build up in my chest again and I knew that I was about to throw up.

I didn't wait for anything, I hurriedly grabbed my purse as I rushed out of the hall ignoring the weird glances I got from everyone.

The cool breeze hit my skin the moment I stepped out of the hall and the relief washed through me.

The disappointment I felt made me feel disgusted, it was weirdly old that neither Knox nor Richard showed up at my fathers gala even though they were literally business partners.

I walked away from the back as I approached the garden but as I walked closer, it didn’t take long before I noticed the groan coming from afar.

I peeped and I noticed three men standing in a distance but one man stood far apart, he had a stick of weed in his hands, I could see them grabbing one of them from the floor but the moment they saw me they stopped and raised their head to look at the man standing in the distance.

“Are your hurting him” I yelled even though my heart was pounding hard against my chest and another voice was screaming at me to mind my fucking business .

Let him go, someone commanded from behind the shadows.

The men. immediately broke apart the bruised man cleaned himself up while turning to look at the man and I watched them walk away.

The man in the shadows suddenly steps out. He wore the perfect tuxedo, his brown hair fitted his perfectly model face but yet he looked unhinged and dangerously good looking, there were tattoos creeping up to his neck.

I swallowed nervously as I stayed calm while I forced my gaze on the man standing right in front of me but something about him looked oddly familiar, I had seen this man before his face, his.

Fuck, the words blurted out when the realization finally dawned on me. All the blood almost drains off my lungs as I look at him, he was no other than the psychotic tech billionaire who was convicted of murdering his girlfriend whom he was oddly obsessed with but he swore he didn’t kill her but the evidence against him made them convince him.

I remember the dread I felt when we watched him and seeing him standing in front of me, I wished I was dead instead.

My lips move but nothing comes out, not a mumble or even a whisper.

The man dropped the stick of weed on the grass and his eyes burned into mine.

My head is screaming at me to run, to scream for help but I don’t move, I don’t shake but standing in front of this man I felt bold.

He moved closer and pressed his thumb against my lips. “Pearls” he whispered while keeping a full gaze on me.

Under the moonlight I can see his full face, the rough marks, and the part tattoos . I swallowed again before keeping my gaze on him. “ You don’t scare me,” I tell him.

The man doesn’t seem to react but instead he just pulls away and arranges his suit. “ I don’t bite Madison” he tells me before walking away and all the blood in my face drains off, his the fuck does he know my name.

By the time I returned back to the gala I was already a mess trying to stay calm, my encounter with him still kept me shaken up but I didn't show it.

Oh there she’s”My fathers loud voice rings in the microphone as I walk right in and my dad stretches his hands towards him indicating that I will join him.

My feet feel heavy but I force myself to stand beside my father keeping a forceful smile.

“As you all know” my father started. Madison is my only child and heir to all I have, she’s the one thing I had from the beautiful marriage I had with my ex wife but that’s not the case today, I want everyone to help us celebrate as I announced the engagement of my daughter to the Davis family.

I felt time stop as everyone clapped loudly but the only thing I could see was the blurred faces of all the guests as my heart raced even harder than the last time, it felt like I was about to die, my engagement. I wanted to say something but instead my dad just held my hands gripping it tightly.

Join me as I welcomed mr Zead Davis my daughters fiancee”

I wanted to say something but the name seemed to strike a nerve so hard but she turned to my left, the familiar hair struck me, the hair, the eyes… The man in particular, my fiancee, is no other than Zead , the same man that had been imprisoned for killing his girlfriend .

I could hear the claps from the crowd but that was the last thing I heard when the lights left my eyes and my body goes limp to the ground as darkness takes over
