"Liam?" Madison called out softly. She knew he'd be very worried at this point. But, she more worried. He hadn't said a word yet about the situation and it was killing her. She tried sitting up on the bed, but Liam stopped her. "You don't have to. I'm here." He said calmly. "Aren't we going to talk about it? Should we keep on pretending like nothing happened?" She asked. Liam scoffed. "All that matters to me right now is your health. The doctor said you can go home today with a little more rest. It would kill me if the doctor said otherwise because you refused to heed instructions." He patted her cheeks lovingly. "Liam... I insist." "Shhhh. Hush, now and get some rest, love. We can talk another time. We still have forever together, remember?" He said and stared down at her ring. Madison looked at her fingers and smiled lightly at the ring. It looked so beautiful. Today wasn't supposed to end like this. She smiled at Liam who held her gaze. She loved him so much and she'd love to
The rain had finally stopped, leaving the streets glistening with wetness under the moonlight. Madison had just been discharged from the hospital. She was meant to feel relief, but her heart was heavy. Liam's silence was killing her.She sat quietly in the plush leather seats of Liam's luxury car, her gaze drifting out of the window as they made their way through the city.Liam, sitting at the wheel, his hands firm on it, had not said a word since they left the hospital. The silence was deafening, the tension disturbing. Madison couldn't take it any longer; she needed to break it."Liam," she finally spoke, her voice soft and almost a whisper.He glanced at her briefly, his jaw clenched, but said nothing.She continued, "I know you're worried about my recovery, and I appreciate that, but we can't just ignore what happened today."Liam sighed, his grip on the steering wheel tightening. "Madison, right now, all I care about is your well-being. We can talk about it later."Madison leaned
Adi's eyes widened in surprise. "What are you doing, Julian? Leave, now!" She said through shaky breaths.Julian pushed his way into the apartment and shut the door behind him, taking slow steps closer to her.Madison took quick, desperate steps backward, her heart pounding in her chest. She knew Julian wasn't a bad person. But they have been apart for quite some time now. She doesn't know the kind of man he might have grown into."Julian... I'll call the cops on you." She threatened, swallowing a lump in her throat."All I want is for you to hear me out, Adi. That's all I want." He stepped closer to her. "Please, stop running away from me. I am not a monster. It is me, Julian. The man you love... The one man you swore with your virginity to be with, no matter what, Adi..."His words sent a piercing pain into her heart as realization dawned on her.On the night she gave her virginity to Julian, they had both swore under the full moon on that fateful night, by her virginity always to b
Adi sat huddled on her bed, the phone pressed to her ear, and her voice trembled with sorrow as she spoke to Jenna. Tears flowed uncontrollably down her cheeks, leaving wet stains on the pillow beneath her."Jenna," Adi sobbed, her voice cracking. "I don't know what to do. Why is this happening to me?"Adi has been weeping uncontrollably for hours. Just when she thought her life was taking a beautiful turn, fate had other cruel plans for her.Jenna, on the other end of the line, could hear the anguish in Adi's voice. She wished she could reach through the phone and console her friend."Stop crying, Adi. Just pull yourself together. Everything will be fine, okay?" She pleaded.Adi's sobs continued. She felt like her world was crumbling around her, and there was no escape from the pain. "Why on earth did he come back from God knows where at this moment of my life?" Adi's voice quivered with a mixture of frustration and hurt. "You know Julian, Jenna. You know him. This doesn't end here.
The persistent ringing of the doorbell jolted Liam up from his slumber. He opened his eyes, trying to adjust to the brightness of the room.The doorbell kept on ringing, as well as his phone. "Bloody hell," he cursed under his breath, trying to get off the bed when he realized he was naked.His brows furrowed in slight confusion before realization hit him like a bolt of lightning. He turned by his side to see a naked Vienna lying beside him, still deep asleep."Oh, God. No..." He hurriedly stood up like one who just recovered from an enchantment. "What the Fuck have I done?" he hurried to the floor where his towel lay, picking it up swiftly."Velda!" He called out with urgency in his tone as he hurried to the table where his phone didn't stop ringing.He picked it up and discovered it was Madison calling. "Oh, Fuck! What do I do?" he ran his fingers through his messy hair, thinking of what lie he could tell her.He took in a deep breath to steady himself before answering the call. "Ba
Madison's car came to a stop in front of Jenna's apartment. She sat in the car for a few seconds, trying to calm herself down before stepping out.No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake off the look on Vienna's face when she descended the stairs. She had a certain glow that made Madison worry.All the time she'd spent with Liam, she'd never had a reason to doubt his faithfulness, but today... Today seemed different.She tried so hard to shake off the nagging feeling that Liam and Vienna had slept together last night... They had sex. It was glaring. But Madison refused to believe that reality."No... Not Liam." She kept saying to herself. "Liam would never cheat on me." She reassured herself.She stepped out of the car and took quick steps into Jenna's apartment, she was desperately in need of someone to talk to."Adi... What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Jenna sprang up to her feet when she saw Madison with tears in her eyes.She hurried to the door and enveloped her in a wa
Liam sat on the edge of his bed, his phone clutched tightly in his hand, while a torrent of emotions churned within him. Regret weighed heavily on his conscience."Look, what we did wasn't right, Vienna, and I feel bad about it," Liam finally mustered the words, his voice tinged with guilt. "I am sorry it happened in the first place. I should have kept my shit in place."He had been thinking about the event of the previous night and he realised he had messed up.Vienna, on the other end of the call, feigned sadness, her voice carrying a tone of contrition. "It's fine, Liam. I understand. We were both carried away," she replied, her words laced with a false sense of regret. "It's all my fault, Liam. I should have knocked before coming in. I should not have barged in on you just like that." She sniffed, adding fabricated whimpers to her act."Please, Vienna. Don't cry. It's not your fault. I take the blame for everything, okay?" He ran his fingers through his head, confused about the en
"Tell me you don't miss that, Adi?" Julian asked, sensing her emotions. "You want this as much as I do. Why hold back? You know where your heart truly belongs.""I am engaged to be married to your cousin. Stop this madness and get the hell out of my life!" she yelled at him before running off into her room.Julian stood there, so many thoughts running through his mind. He didn't know if he should be hopeful or not. But one thing he knew for sure was that he was never going to stop until he finally got her.*Madison closed the door behind her as she sat on the floor with her back against the door. Her hand was placed above her chest in a bid to calm her rapidly beating heart."What just happened?" she asked herself as she touched her lips. She still felt his presence around her, the taste of his lips, his possessive grip on her and, God! It made her dripping wet down there."No. No. No. No. You can't let this happen, Madison." She said to herself as he hurried towards the table where
