Madison lay quietly on the bed, watching Liam's peaceful face while he slept. She sighed, standing up and making her way to the bathroom.She felt weak and tired from the numerous rounds they just had and she wished for more sleep, but sleep eluded her.She stared at her reflection in the mirror as he thoughts drifted away to all the things Liam had told her some hours ago. She gave it a long, hard thought and each time, a tiny part of her still yearned to give Julian listening ears.How could he? She kept asking herself that question. She broke down in tears, letting out all the hurt she felt. "How could he?" She muttered, clutching her chest tightly as she let tears flow down her cheeks.The thought of Julian abandoning her after using her was painful. The thought of him having someone else but still used her and took away her most-priced possession - her virginity - was too painful to bear. She had thought she'd giving it to someone worthy of it but she was wrong after all.She had
"You knew about this, didn't you?" Liam fumed with anger as he walked toward Madison and Jenna. "You knew he'd be here and that's why you insisted on coming alone, huh?""No... No, Liam. Not at all. I didn't know he'd be here," Madison tried explaining, her voice quivering."Liam, he just showed up, I promise," Jenna tried to intervene, sensing the escalating tension."No, Jenna. Stay out of this," Liam retorted, pacing around and placing his hands on his waist. "You knew. You both knew. You all wanted to betray me. I trusted you, Jenna!" He half-yelled, his frustration reaching its peak."Liam, you have to calm down. Let's go in and talk about this, please?" Madison said carefully, not wanting to get him more upset."There is nothing to talk about. Let's go home," Liam said, pulling Madison by the hand, his anger still simmering."No, Liam! Stop!" She yelled at him, pulling her hand off his grip. "Can you just calm down and let us talk? What's going on? You've been acting really weir
Madison climbed the stairs that led to Liam's room. She knew he was home because his cars were all parked outside.She had to settle this once and for all. She couldn't live her life like she was a prisoner.She pushed the door to his room open, her eyes darting around angrily until she saw him sitting at the far end of the room, operating his laptop.The sound of the door opening made him turn around to see who it was, "Oh, babe?" he called, standing up to meet her."Don't come near me!" She said angrily, making him halt immediately."What is going on, babe? Who got you this upset?" he asked so innocently with so much concern in his voice."Why, Liam? Why get a bodyguard to follow me around? What did you do that for?" she asked, crossing her arms over her chest as she waited for a response.Liam heaved a sigh of relief, "Oh, that?" he smiled. "Is that why you are this pissed? Come on, honey. It's just for your safety," he explained, maintaining his smile."Really? What makes you thin
The classic blue car pulled into the grand entrance of the gigantic compound of the Hudsons, its polished exterior glistening in the light. The chauffeur stepped out of the sleek car, his crisp white shirt immaculately pressed and complemented by his perfectly knotted black tie. He quickly made his way to the owner's seat, where he opened the door hastily for his boss to step out.As he emerged from his sleek and shiny Ferrari, gifted to him by his doting father on his 26th birthday, Julian Hudson exuded an air of sophistication and refinement that was reflected in his impeccable fashion sense. He was a young man who knew how to dress to impress, and he carried himself with an effortless confidence that turned heads wherever he went.His chiseled features boasted of a timeless beauty - sharp cheekbones, a strong jawline, and a perfect nose that complemented his piercing green eyes. Those eyes seemed to hold a secret mischievousness, a glint of playful rebellion that added to his allur
In less than two hours, Julian was already seated in his uncle's sitting room. It was really huge, but he was used to it. He was from a lineage of wealthy folks.Fred Anderson was a very big name in the United States. He was one of the wealthiest men in the country. Just like his father, Uncle Fred has made a name for his business as well.Already retired, his son, Liam, has already taken over from him. Liam has been doing very well in the world of business, making his father proud. One of the reasons his father, Albert, has always wanted him to take over the company after he retires."It's nice to have you here, Julian," came his uncle's baritone voice as he ascended the stairs.It's been quite a while, and he truly misses his uncle."Uncle Fred, I've missed you." Julian took a few strides to where his uncle stood and hugged him."I've missed you too, son. How was studies? I'm very certain you came out with flying colors," his uncle asked with a familiar grin."Certainly, uncle, I su
"Attention, ladies, and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts as we prepare for takeoff," the announcement echoed throughout the aircraft, prompting passengers to take their seats and make themselves comfortable as the crew prepared for takeoff.With trembling fingers, Julian dialed Adi's number for what felt like the hundredth time, his heart sinking with every failed attempt.As his call went straight to voicemail once again, a wave of anxiety washed over him, and he couldn't help but wonder what could have happened to her. Was she safe? He could imagine how terrible she’d feel right now, and he couldn't shake off this feeling of helplessness. The thought of it made his stomach churn."Phew!" He let out a sharp breath as he turned off his phone, resolving to keep trying when he arrived Scotland. It's going to be a long trip. He prayed to the heavens to keep her sane for him until he reached her again. He knew how worried she can g
The air stirred restlessly around Madison, carrying with it the fiery breath of the sun like a furnace wind. For five long hours, Madison had been perched outside her old apartment like a watchful sentinel, waiting with bated breath for a sign of Julian's arrival.Every sound and movement in the street around her made her heart skip a beat, hoping that the next person she saw would be Julian. But as the sun began to dip below the horizon, the shadows lengthening and the sky painting itself in shades of pink and gold, Julian was still nowhere to be found.The air around her grew heavy with the weight of disappointment, threatening to suffocate the fragile hope that remained within her. Despite the nagging doubt in her mind, Madison refused to give up hope, clinging to the fragile belief that Julian would show up, like a tiny flicker of light in the encroaching darkness."It might just be a little delay. Maybe he got too tired from the errand and decided to take some rest," she comforte
Three days had passed so quickly, and each passing moment had etched a deeper mark of grief on Madison's heart.As she settled down on the familiar verandah, the once-familiar surroundings now seemed to mock her with their familiarity, a stark reminder of the happiness that had once existed here.Madison was beginning to resign herself to the possibility that Julian might never return, but the thought of a life without him was too unbearable to contemplate."Life can be so unfair," she thought to herself.The memory of that fateful night was still etched vividly in Madison's mind, like a painting that refused to fade with time. The room was suffused with a soft glow as the moon peeked through the window, casting its gentle light upon them on the bed.Madison could still recall the heady scent of Julian's cologne, the warmth of his skin against hers, and the pulsing beat of their hearts, entwined in a rhythm of their own. The memory of his lips upon hers was like the sweetest of nectar
