When the Queen Returned, They Panicked Chapter 10
Madelyn’s POV“You did great for the last six months, kid,” Randy said, a small smile forming on his lips. Damn, he’s so uptight.I know he was proud of my improvement for the last six months, but he was full of pride to show it.Ever since I mentioned the Vanity and Serenity projects, Randy has had me involved with the business more. I dedicate myself and my time to my newly found passion and helped Randy increase Sterling Group’s market value.“That ex-husband of yours, the Hollis guy? Sterling Group exceeded its chain of hotels, and we earned international recognition ahead of him,” he chuckled. “That’s all you, kid.”I smiled. I read the news about it. Gold Hotels is under Sterling Group, and it has dominated other hotels for the past months. Hollis Hotels was the one dominating the country, but once I got hands-on with the hotel enterprise, it boomed fast and wide.“What can I say, you’re a great teacher.” I squinted my eyes at him. “You should stop calling me ‘kid’ if you’re that

Madelyn’s POVI really looked like a different person and myself, at the same time. I thought as I looked at the mirror. Any post-op wounds have healed, and Doctor Ellis really did a great job making it look natural.“You really looked like Courtney now.” Randy’s voice made me turn around. I find him leaning in my bedroom door, arms crossed in his chest, his expression cold as usual. “Funny, because I also saw the Madelyn version.”I chuckled. “I was just thinking that. It’s the eyes.”He nodded, lips curving in agreement. “Nice call about that,” he smacked his lips and straightened. “Anyway, I’ll schedule a private in-house shopping for you today. You need to fill your closet. You’re not keeping your fashion, though; that’s too bland and plain. I’ll call for a personal stylist.”I rolled my eyes. I had just literally applied the last of my healing cream and Randy’s already on the move. Well, we shouldn’t really waste our time.“Why, thank you.” I said flatly.“Afternoon looks good? Tw

Madelyn’s POV“This is the photo for reference of the look we’re aiming for.” Randy handed Courtney’s picture to the plastic surgeon. We’re in a private clinic for a pre-surgery consultation.Randy wasn’t wasting his precious time. The moment I healed, he made an appointment with the best cosmetic surgeon in the country.Doctor Ellis examined my face, drawing on my skin with a blue surgical marker. Once he was done, he nodded to himself.“This wouldn’t be too hard. She has the same facial bone structure as the woman in the picture, Mr. Sterling. We can replicate this look easily and make it realistically achievable.”“Great. My lawyers made you sign an NDA, so I’ll trust you to follow the rules and never say a word to anyone about this.” Randy raised his brows as he looked at the doctor.“Of course, Mr. Sterling. This isn’t my first rodeo; NDAs have been a part of my career since the beginning.” Doctor Ellis smiled, turned to me, and lifted my face with a finger to my chin. “The bones

Madelyn’s POVThere was an unfamiliar charge of emotion that coiled in my veins. My heart beats faster with the thought of having a power that could change the course of my situation.Revenge.I looked at Randy straight in his eyes. I could feel a strong determination oozing out of my soul.“Tell me more about this deal.”Randy smiled with satisfaction, but didn’t say anything about it. “I have a daughter. Had. She passed away in an accident while studying abroad.”“The one you visited at the graveyard.” I murmured, remembering his gentle caress over the photo in the tombstone.He nodded. “I knew you looked familiar. I didn’t expect to cross paths with you again like this, though.”I groaned. No one could expect a woman falling from a bridge and landing on a yacht for a second meeting.“Her name is Courtney, my daughter,” he continued.“I’m sorry for your loss.”“That’s how life is. Your life, apparently, was given a second chance. Don’t waste it with reckless decisions.” He sighed and

Madelyn’s POVI didn’t fall into the water.Halfway down, something moved beneath me. A blur of white that slowly became clearer, and my eyes widened.A yacht! I’m falling on a yacht!I didn’t have time to panic, but everything seemed to play out in slow motion. My fall, the movement of the water, the speed of the yacht–I could see how clear I’d fall into its deck! Then, everything happened too fast.Instead of a splashing sound, a loud thud rang in my ears and rattled every bone in my body as I hit. “Oh my god!” “Is that a person?!” The voices quickly faded.The yacht was passing by just in time that I jumped, and I’m not sure if falling into it is better than the deep waters and drowning. The impact was so hard that my body went numb, and darkness started to close in. I tried to breathe, but my ribs screamed. I couldn’t breathe, like air was knocked out of my lungs.In the blur before I lost consciousness, my eyes caught the stunned face of the same man from the cemetery, frozen on
When the Queen Returned, They Panicked Chapter 5
Madelyn’s POVA gentle silence descended upon the marble stones and well-kept grass in the cemetery as I walked in, wrapping everything in a kind of quiet that felt heavier than it should.I missed my mom so much. She’s been gone for years, but the ache hadn’t faded at all. She died, and not even two weeks later, Nathan brought Fiona and Yolanda into our home.I hated them for that.I hadn’t slept in days, barely eaten anything either. My legs wobbled with every step, and honestly, I felt like I could collapse at any moment.Heh. Collapsing right here in a cemetery didn’t even sound that bad. At least it would’ve saved me a few steps.With nothing left, skipping straight to the end almost felt… fitting.A few steps ahead, I noticed a man kneeling before a grave. I frowned with curiosity.Although his posture was formal and his suit was flawless, the way he wiped the picture on the stone suggested something much more intimate and unvarnished. Behind him, two bodyguards stood at a respec
