Beatrice led Madeline step into her office and Madeline didn't even have the nerve to take a seat. She had thought long and hard and decided this was the best option. What were the odds that she would even be able to take care of a baby at her age.“I see you have made your decision Madeline? And, please there's no need to be formal with me. Please have a seat.” Beatrice did smile. Madeline only had her face neutral and no matter how much she tried to think and reason about it, it was all against her. Her career which she had worked so hard to reach was soon going to slip away from her hands and she wouldn't sit by and take it lightly. Kane and her mother were both right. It was stupid as to how she could ever think of raising a baby and still have her career in the front seat at the same time. It was time to be practical.“I can't. I can't watch my life change before my eyes. I know you understand what am going through. You also went through the same ordeals...”“I did go through the

Madeline got back home but her mind couldn't get over what Beatrice told her earlier about Kane. She looked around the empty apartment. It's glow and serenity seemed lost without Kane. It did bother her that Kane was back and he didn't think to even come back to the apartment. This was his home too. It was their happy love nest.Madeline took off her shoes and got to the living room. She fished out her phone from her purse and saw some missed calls and messages from Sarah. She knew she was playing with her internship as she had been absent from her work for some days. Three days had passed since she was discharged from hospital by Esperza. Another day from her school and back home without sensing Kane's presence. She could literally sense if he was home the moment she walked through the front door.As usual she checked her messages with Kane and it seemed he had completely forgotten about her. She rubbed her belly and even though she didn't have the appetite, she had to make herself so

Madeline didn't know how to feel witnessing Kane in another woman's arms. Was she th same woman Beatrice had claimed to have seen with Kane in SoHo. Even though Kane didn't seem like he was reciprocating, the fact was he neither stopped the woman from kissing him. She wondered if it was really over and Kane really meant every word. She was already torn apart by his departure but now her soul was torn seeing him with another woman. A more pretty one at that.Madeline couldn't have her dinner when she got back to her apartment. She had completely lost her appetite and was now in her bedroom crying her eyes out on her now soaked pillow. She couldn't shake off the feeling that Kane looked more ideal with that woman than with her. It seemed he had cracked a huge deal for Kane to be all dressed in a designer suit. Did he completely forget all about her and wasn't there any chance he would return back to her.The next day Madeline went back to the hospital to also stand in line for her breakf

Ava came to visit Madeline at the hospital with some goodies in hand. “Umm, I've been craving these.” Madeline saw what Ava got for her. A variety of different chocolates and cookies. Ava smiled before grabbing a stool to sit by her side.“How are you doing Madeline?” Ava asked before letting out a long sigh. Madeline could just tell she had a very long day at her work. “You are tired and you should have gone back home to rest a bit.” Madeline suggested but Ava only chuckled and brushed off the concern in a heartbeat.“You know the sponsored cooking competition in Spain? I decided not to accept the offer.” Ava broke the news and Madeline was quick to straighten herself up before she would choke on her chocolate. Her eyes did stare at her best friend in shock. “Why did you do that? Don't tell me it's because of me and the baby. Come on Ava...”“It was necessary. I know you need me now more than ever girlfriend.” Madeline smiled. Her english had gotten a lot better over the past couple o

6 years later,“Mr Whitemon is coming....all of you be prepared.” Kane smiled watching his assistant trying to keep up with him while announcing his arrival through her airpods. Four men were behind him as he was headed towards the conference room for his annual reports meeting. His assistant Noelle tried to keep up with her heels and was quick to reveal a tablet before his eyes. “These are all your scheduled meetings today sir.” Kane nodded before making his way into the conference room. Twelve to twenty people were all seated and waiting for him to make his presence known. Everyone got in their bests behaviors and Kane smiled sensing the atmosphere being taken over by his dominance. Gone where the days when he would only look at such tall buildings. Now he owned many buildings and even had businesses that comprised of the many sectors of the world. Hotels, ITs, Chains of Department stores and Bankings with life insurances. He had it all.He was never absent when it came to attendin
