Madeline gave him a puzzled look.Trevon just stared back, stone-faced, and remained silent."Mr. Gibson?"He snapped out of it and gave her a piercing look, "You're just playing secretary at the company, you're not really working under me."Madeline was taken aback."Don't call me Mr. Gibson, " Trevon added.If he was not Trevon, such talk would have landed him in trouble in the real world."So, what should I call you if not Mr. Gibson? Boss?"Trevon glowered, his teeth clenched. "Just use my name!"Madeline could not help but chuckle. "Okay, okay. Trevon it is. Ready for your medicine?"Trevon stayed quiet as he turned over and got himself ready on the bed.Madeline bit her lip and started with the medicine. As she reached to lower his pants, Trevon's hand shot out, gripping the waistband tightly.Madeline tugged at the fabric, but it would not budge. She let out a sigh."Mr. Gibson—"Before she could finish, Trevon shot her a look that could freeze lava.She quickly c

Jazzy's voice quivered. "Maddie isn't like that."Alden scoffed. "Really?"His laugh was icy, tinged with a smugness that suggested he knew more than he let on."The Quiggs can't compare to the Gibsons. If the Gibsons wanted to adopt you, we Quiggs wouldn't have a say. Did Madeline ever bring this up? I didn't think so. I'm telling you, these people are just putting on an act. Deep down, they probably can't stand you. Only I truly care for you."The moment I laid eyes on you, I was smitten. You must've been my sweetheart in another life. How else could I feel such a strong desire to love you?"Jazzy's mind raced to a dark memory, her body shaking uncontrollably as tears streamed down unchecked.Silent in her anguish, she was the picture of vulnerability.Madeline could not stand by any longer and pulled Jazzy into her arms.She stayed quiet, not wanting to tip off Alden. If he got wind of their plan and destroyed the evidence, they would lose their chance to make him pay for hi

Madeline's hospital visit was, of course, for a check-up.After a rough time recently, the little one in her womb was at risk, and the doctor had her come in weekly.After taking a blood test and an ultrasound, Madeline took her results to the doctor.With no signs of a threatened miscarriage and all tests coming back normal, the doctor beamed, "Your little one's a fighter. Everything looks good."Madeline finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had had a scare the night she was followed, feeling a sharp pain in her abdomen.The worry that it might harm her unborn child had been weighing on her.Thankfully, her baby proved to be tough."Keep up with the prenatal meds for one more week, then come back for a checkup at the twelve-week mark," the doctor instructed.Madeline gave a small nod.The twelve-week checkup was a laundry list of tests. Blood work, liver function, NT scan, screening for anemia, and the list went on.However, there was an upside to getting her medical recor

Trevon froze at her words. "What? You're pregnant?""Yes. It was a surprise to me too. I've spent the last few days in the hospital. The nurse sensed something was off and decided to run some tests, and well..."She handed Trevon the test results she had prepared. He could not make heads or tails of the numbers, but some words stood out like a sore thumb.'Early pregnancy. Recommend a follow-up ultrasound to confirm intrauterine pregnancy.'A jolt went through Trevon's heart, and he instinctively wanted to look at Madeline. However, he could not bring himself to do it.Pregnant? How could it be?He had only been with Lydia that one time during a business trip.Just that once, and then…How could that happen?He had made up his mind not to split from Madeline, he wanted to make their life together work, but why?His usually unflappable demeanor showed a crack.Lydia caught it and could not suppress a flicker of triumph.Her plan was effective!With that thought, she slumped

"Why didn't you wake me?"Handing Caleb back his jacket, Madeline took in the view. A few scattered lights twinkled in the darkness, and a towering structure nearby had to be the aerial restaurant."We just got here," Caleb said with a grin.They exited the car and made their way to the restaurant.In the shadows behind them, Trevon's face was a mask of darkness, the chill in the air the only thing moving in the car.Caleb's car had been stationary for over thirty minutes. What had they been up to?If it had not been so quiet, Trevon might have been compelled to investigate.At last, they stepped out.Watching them head for the sky-high dining spot, Trevon's expression darkened once more."Go after them, see what they're doing," he ordered.The guard in front paused, then hurried out of the car.He had not understood Trevon's interest in that particular vehicle until he saw Madeline emerge.'Man, if Mr. Gibson is so bothered by Mrs. Gibson having dinner with another guy, wh
