~~Maddie~~It's been two days of silence because whoever kidnapped my son knows our every move."Hi, this is Mike Chandler. Please leave a message." Chandler's phone has been on voicemail since the kidnapping.I paced nervously in the dimly lit room, unable to shake the feeling of helplessness. A commotion outside the house caught my attention.Ever since I brought Caleb to Victor's house and shared everything, he hasn't left our side. Round-the-clock security, CCTV cameras everywhere—it felt like a fortress compared to my own home."You need to let me in," Maeve shouted by the door."Ma'am, I was given strict instructions not to let anyone in," the security guard explained."Ma'am, you call me that and still disrespect me." "Ma'am, I didn't mean any disrespect, I…""Let them in," I told the guard. "But, ma'am?" he tried to dismiss me."My friends won't hurt me, will they? And even if they do, you're here to protect me, aren't you?"He nodded, allowing them in, and Maeve immediately
~~Victor~~It has been an incredibly stressful two days, the longest of my life.Ever since Maddie revealed that I am the father of her kids, I haven't been able to think straight.With Aiden kidnapped, I feel like I'm losing my mind. Just a week ago, I was lying in the hospital poisoned; now I have twins, and one of them is missing.I could feel the world falling apart around me, and there was nothing I could do but wait for the investigation to unfold.I made calls to all my contacts in the FBI and police. We didn't go through the usual channels because Maddie believes there is a mole in the city police department."Any news?" Alex and our friend Mark entered the office."No, there isn't a lot of ground to cover.""I still think it was a wrong call not to involve the police. Greta thinks so too," Alex said."Yeah, but Madison doesn't trust the police," I replied. "Madison, huh? We on a first-name basis now?""Stop it, Alex. A child is missing. His child," Mark said, pointing at me.
~~Chandler~~"Everything is under control," I asserted confidently."Yes, I have established contact. She needs to be managed and guided. Maddie requires a paternal presence, and I believe I can fulfill that role."I entered the car and departed from the restaurant where I had recently met Stephanie, extending her assistance in strategizing against Victor Reynolds.It is all part of a plan I have meticulously devised since Maddie's return to town.On the day following Victor's wedding, he slept with my sister.My sister works in one of his popular clubs, making ends meet for herself and to complete her college degree.A few months later, she discovered she was pregnant. He callously dismissed her, instructing her never to approach him again.Three days later, my sister succumbed to an overdose. Since then, I made a solemn vow to avenge my sister and her child. Victor has taken everything from me, and I am determined to extract even more from him.I commenced an investigation into Vict
Maddie:It has been weeks since Aiden's kidnapping, and I'm trying to move forward, attempting to be there for Aiden.After he rested, he kept asking where we were and why we weren't at our house.I tried explaining whose house we were in, but he wasn't having it.“I don't want to stay here; I want to go to our house,” he said one morning as I made them breakfast.“We can't go now, baby; it isn't safe yet.” I tried to explain.He took the news of Victor being his father harder and wouldn't speak to him, unlike Caleb, who cherished Victor, and they were both getting along.“I'm not like Caleb; I didn't like it here.”“I know, baby; don't worry; we will soon leave.”That's what I keep telling him, but leaving isn't in Victor’s preview any moment from now.I remember the night I asked him, or rather told him, the time for us to go back to our house.“You spent six years with them; let me be there for them. For you too.”I pulled my hands away from it because of the tension I was feeling.
~~Maddie~~By the time I got home, the boys were already asleep. I went into their rooms and gave them a goodnight kiss.Aiden mumbled, “I love you,” in his sleep. I smiled.I changed from my office wear, took a hot bath, and wore a bum short and a see-through singlet.According to the time, Victor would be home for a while, and by the time he gets home, I will be asleep.I got downstairs and saw a sidelight on; I didn't remember putting it on.I got closer, searching the dining room.“You look nice.” I startled at the sound of the voice.“Victor.” You scared me.“What are you doing in the dark?” I asked him.“Not in the dark.” He said sarcastically.“Dark enough.” I replied sarcastically. I looked at his face, and there was sadness written all over it.“What's going on?”“What makes you think something is going on?” He answered rudely.“I will just go.” I said.“Don't leave, Madison.” His voice sent shivers like cold streams into my body. I found myself moving closer to him.I sat on
~~Victor~~“What the hell, man? You just froze up,” Mark said, hitting me.“I didn't freeze up,” I said, glaring at him.“You better put your eyes on the road, freezer boy,” he said, laughing hard.I put on a cold face as I watched him laugh.“I didn't mean to freeze up; I just didn't know what to say,” I told him.“So you agree you did freeze up?” He asked, laughing.I rolled my eyes at him and faced the road. My mind went back to the previous night.Her lips were quite softer than I remember, and her ass, god, it grew bigger.I wasn't going to sleep with her without earning her trust. I need her to give herself to me because she's in love with me as I am.I can't count how many times I walked back to her room. I was so turned on and aroused, but I needed her to feel me the same way I want to feel her.“Lover boy, you just missed the checkpoint,” Mark said laughing, as I came back to reality.We got to the venue for our presentation. The deal entails the building of many buildings an
Victor"Is she okay?" I asked, my voice trembling."I don't know," Keely said. "The police said they would call us when they know more."I felt like I couldn't breathe. I needed to know that Maddie was okay. I couldn't imagine life without her."I need to go to the hospital," I said, my voice barely audible."I'll take you," Keely said, her voice shaking.We got into my car and drove to the hospital.When we arrived, we rushed to the emergency room. I felt like I was going to pass out. I had to find out what happened to Maddie.We went to the front desk and asked for information about Maddie. The receptionist looked at us with a concerned look on her face.“I'm afraid I can't give you any information,” she said, her voice apologetic. “You'll have to speak to a doctor.”“But please,” I pleaded. “I need to know if she's okay.”The receptionist looked at me with sympathy. "I understand, but I'm not allowed to give out any information. I can page a doctor for you, but that's all I can do.
~~Maddie~~I turned to him; his hands were clenched into fists, and I took a step back, noticing his heavy breathing. "He might be involved, Maddie. I need to know the truth," Victor explained, his tone strained.Kingsley, bloodied and disoriented, managed to speak, denying any involvement. I looked at Victor with a mix of disbelief and disappointment. "This isn't the way to handle things, Victor. We need to let the police investigate," I urged, my voice calming but firm."You should listen to your baby mama, Victor." I turned to Kingsley, shock written all over my face."How do you know about that?" I tried speaking, keeping myself from stammering."Well," he said with a smirk on his face, wiping the blood from his mouth, "not much of a secret, is it?""I will kill you." Victor charged towards him."That's enough, Victor!" I screamed.Realizing the gravity of the situation, Victor reluctantly stepped back, his anger subsiding.The office was tense, and I, still shaken, took control o
