เข้าสู่ระบบMadison's POV"No, wait, tell me what else she said—""Maddie."I turned around so fast I almost dropped my cup and my heart slowly relaxed when I saw that Cedric stood a few steps behind us with his car keys in his hand, one brow raised and the corner of his mouth lifting in amusement."I told you to call me." He said and for a moment, I remembered our kiss and my face flushed."I… forgot." I confessed and he chuckled, nodding in understanding."Clearly." He glanced at the girls, who were now staring at him with wide eyes, then smiled at them politely. "Sorry to interrupt, ladies. But I need my actress back. She has a very busy schedule."They went completely silent for a second, then they started to scream again, making me snicker softly."That's Cedric Ashford, oh my god!" "He's so hot!" I pressed my lips together to stop myself from laughing while Cedric just blinked, clearly confused, then he cleared his throat and held out his hand."Let's go, Maddie."The girls waved at me un
Madison's POV"Do you trust me, Madison?"I swallowed the lump in my throat with my cup of coffee and nodded without hesitation."Of course I do." I whispered, and his face relaxed after that even though the lie still tasted bitter in my mouth.He finished the check-up quickly after that, writing something on his notepad before telling me to go home and rest.“Be here on time tomorrow.” He muttered softly as he tucked my hair behind my ear, and I forced a smile at him. “Promise me you’ll stop stressing too.”“I promise.” I chuckled as he ruffled my hair gently and was about to walk me out when I stopped him. “I got this, dearest doctor. You should get back to work.“Tch, fine.” He huffed and I grinned before waving at him and then walked out of his office with the cup of coffee still in my hand.I was only halfway down the hallway when my phone buzzed and for some unknown reason, my heart dropped before I even looked at the screen. Was it another anonymous message?Glancing at the scr
Madison's POVCedric was totally caught off guard by my kiss that I felt him stiffen against me. Of all the men I had come across since I woke up, somehow I was always kissing Cedric of my own will.And it was always so cute to see him flustered right after.By the time I pulled back, he wasn’t sulking or gloomy anymore. In fact, it looked like he had just won the lottery.A smile tugged at my lips as I moved to relax in my seat, but I suddenly felt him grab the back of my head. A yelp left my lips as his lips met mine again and my eyes widened in shock.His lips moved against mine gently until it turned heated. My fingers had somehow found their way to his hair while his hand gripped my waist, almost like he didn’t want to let go.The loud buzzing of my phone made us jolt apart as I tried to catch my breath, my cheeks hot and flustered.That had to be the hottest thing that had happened to me since I woke up.“We should… uhm… go?” I whispered, feeling quite embarrassed yet flustered
Madison's POVI could barely move after that message. Who was this anonymous person? What letter was Klaus going to give me if it wasn't swapped?Where were important details blotted out? Was this person on my side or not?My head pounded so hard as I dragged myself to the bathroom and just stood under the shower, letting the cold water pour over me.I had too many questions. Too many questions but very few answers. And at the moment, it looked like no one wanted to give me these answers.So I had to find them myself.I finally got out of the bathroom, picked up the papers and stored them safely in a drawer before getting dressed in simple clothes I found in the closet.Trust no one.Including Cedric? He was literally the only one who seemed to be on my side at the moment.Or could it be that Cedric was this anonymous sender? It only made so much sense.When I walked downstairs, Cedric was at the dining table, arranging the place with a smile on his face.The sight had me softening up
Madison's POVCedric’s house was bigger than I expected. I had stayed silent throughout the whole ride back, my mind spinning with thousands of thoughts of how my life had managed to turn upside down in just a few hours.My parents were dead. Klaus had everything they owned and I didn’t even know who I was anymore.I felt someone squeeze my hand gently when the car finally stopped and I turned to see Cedric staring at me with a small smile on his face.“We’re here.”I forced a smile on my lips in response as he got out and before I could get out, he was already by my side, opening the door for me.“Thank you, gentleman.” I teased with a grin and he chuckled, bowing slightly as I took his hand.“Anything for you, milady.” He replied with a wink as we walked into his apartment and my jaw dropped at how luxurious everything looked.He gently pushed the door open and I gasped when I saw how identical it looked to the playhouse we made when we were kids.The designs were almost the same, ex
Klaus's POVThe silence stretched out for a moment as Madison stared at me without blinking, nothing like the meek woman I used to know.The woman I had married? She never talked back. She was the most obedient wife anyone could have, doing everything to make sure I loved her the way she loved me.But this Madison? She was like a breath of fresh air, like gasoline pouring over the fire in my heart and I honestly didn’t know if I should be in awe or terrified.“A-actually—” I paused, my eyes widening when I realized I just stuttered in response.Since when did the tables turn so quickly? Why was I suddenly like this because of her?“Yeah?” She probed, obviously unfazed by my hesitation and I had to swallow hard to compose myself.“The documents are with the family lawyer for safekeeping.” I blurted out and her brows raised in confusion. “My family lawyer, to be exact. But hear me out. I only held onto them when you were in a coma.”She had opened her mouth to argue when I said they were
