~~Victor~~I watched as she came out of the elevator. She looked breathtaking. My eyes traveled from her face to her cleavage and then to her attire.Memories of the previous night flooded me, and I could feel myself tense. I observed her captivating presence as she made her way to Maeve.Her eyes found mine, and she gave a smile. She looked so beautiful. I walked towards her but stopped midway.“She's here.” The text read. My once warm face turned stone cold. Maddie looked at me, her eyes wondering why I stopped and the reason for my reaction.I walked towards my car with Mark. “I need to stay away from her.” I said to him; he just nodded, understanding me.As we drove away, I looked back at Maddie, who still wore a confused face. I can't explain, at least not now. I said in my head.I looked at the text on my phone again. I kept shaking my left leg to keep me from acting out.How am I going to tell Greta this? How is she going to react? This can't be happening.I got to the venue an

~~Maeve~~"No, he has had enough, take Maeve home," Victor said."I can go home by myself," I protested."Your friend was just attacked; she will kill me if I didn't at least have someone see you home." I tried protesting again but agreed not without saying,"Don't use Maddie to blackmail me ever again." I pouted and watched him drive off with Maddie."Are you ready?" I heard Mark's deep voice behind me.Ever since I recovered from the shooting incident, I have been avoiding him.I have always told myself I wouldn't fall for any man that has someone in his life. But then, with the incident, my feelings were all over the place, and we kissed. Since then, I have tried my best to avoid him."Maeve?" He jolted me from my thoughts. There is that voice again, that does strange things to my body. I bit my lower lip before turning around to face him."I'm ready." I said to him; he nodded and led me towards his car.I felt Mark's arm go around my back and his hand on my lower back as he held t

~~Maddie~~I continued to tail Stephanie through the traffic; I couldn't shake the feeling that Stephanie's sudden reappearance was no coincidence.I decided to put a call through to Detective Amy. The phone rang for a while but no answer. I called again, still no answer.I decided to call 911. “911, what's your emergency?” I told the administrator everything; I was assured help was coming.The chase intensified, leading us to a quiet street where Stephanie finally pulled over. I parked behind her, frustration and curiosity building inside of me.I got down from my car, and Stephanie pulled a gun on me.“What the hell, Stephanie? Who do you think you are?” I almost charged at her.“Careful sis, I'm the one with the gun, remember?” She said, pointing the gun at me.“What do you want?” I asked, raising my hands.She scoffed, “you are pathetic. Dad's sick.”“You can tell me that without pointing a gun at me.”“Oh really, should I stop by your house and say hello to my nephew too.” She ke

Chandler“Fuck!!” I hit my head on the wheels of my car, Maddie staying with Victor increased the rage burning inside me.Why will she be staying with the bastard that ruined her life. The only explanation will be that she told him when Aiden was kidnapped…I got to my office and met someone in my seat. “She's staying with Victor.” I said to the person in front of me.“How did that happen?” “I guess she finally told him the paternity of the boys.” I said “Fuck!!Our whole idea of revenge was counting on her not telling him. I thought you had Stephanie on a leash.”“If not for her, we won't be in this mess. Did you put her up to this?” “I didn't.” I replied, “but you went along with it, when she decided to use your name and staged that you were beaten. You went along with the plan.”I hit the table hard. “You haven't been coming up with Ideas. Stephanie brought hers and it was fun. I felt full for the first time. Seeing Victor panic and not being in control.” I said through my teeth

~~Maddie~~“Yeah right, it's all you. Fuck you Madison” Victor stormed out out of my house.I was in shock, when did this turn out to be my fault.“Mummy, why is Daddy angry?” I heard Caleb behind me. “Go back to your room Caleb.” I screamed at him. I looked up and Victor's mom and sister were staring at me. “You didn't have to take it out on him.” Margaret saidI scoffed, “your brother just stormed out of here, blaming me for his mistakes, now you want to tell me how to speak to my kid.”She inhaled deeply, moving closer to me, “All this is your fault whether you want to admit it or not.” “You all never accepted me, you just did because of the kids. You blame me for a situation I had no control over.” Her mom scoffed, “you keep calling yourself the victim and you won't have children too yourself.”I looked at her shocked, she just threatened to take the kids away from me. “How dare you.” “Watch me. Let's go Margaret.” They both picked up their bags and left. Leaving me in shock.
