Madison’s POVThe night air kissed my cheeks as I stepped out of the Benjamin mansion, my heart still warm from the conversation with Grandma. For the first time in a while, I didn’t feel like I was merely surviving. I felt... accepted.Then my phone rang.I glanced down. Levi.I answered quickly. “Hello?”His calm, firm voice came through the speaker. “We found her. Mrs. Susan.”And just like that, the smile slipped off my face.That single sentence knocked the breath out of my lungs. The smile I wore just seconds ago dissolved as a chill ran down my spine.Mrs. Susan.The woman who used to hold my hand while I cried. Who used to braid my hair. Who sang to me on nights my parents forgot I existed. The one person I thought loved me… until I woke up one day, poisoned and abandoned and she was gone.**********************************By dawn, we were already on the road. The sky outside the car window was a watercolor of rising light and shadow, but I could hardly admire it. My min

Author's pov That night, in an upscale yet dimly lit restaurant tucked in the heart of the city, Eleanor sat across from Lucas. Her fingers delicately stirred her wine glass, but the tight line on her lips gave away her sour mood. She had dressed flawlessly, as always, but there was a tension under the surface—coiled like a snake ready to strike.Lucas leaned back in his seat, legs crossed casually, but his voice was anything but relaxed.“It’s confirmed,” he said. “Your husband will not be acquiring the Savings Bank.”Eleanor’s fingers froze. “What?”He nodded, his voice low and sure. “I had my people look into it. Quietly. Apparently, the deal was never even on the table. They just made him think it was… to drain resources and cause a media stir.”Eleanor’s face hardened as the realization hit. Madison.“She made him spend millions… on advertising, marketing, posturing. And she did it all with that soft little voice and those puppy eyes.” Her jaw clenched. “That bitch tricked him

Author's pov Outside the Police StationWilliam’s lips trembled as he took a hesitant step toward Madison.“I… I’m sorry,” he began, voice low. “I regret everything I did. I shouldn’t have…”Madison just stood there, her arms crossed, her expression unreadable. Her silence pressed against him heavier than any accusation.“I’m telling you the truth, Madison. I regret it,” William said again, desperation rising in his voice.“what are you sorry for?”“what?”“Don't just apologize to escape the moment. Before you apologize,think about what you did wrong. If you want to get a chance to be forgiven,that is” He suddenly dropped to his knees on the cold pavement,his voice breaking. “Please… forgive me.I shouldn't have hurt you like that. You were right about everything. I tried to marry you even though Sophia was the one I loved,just so that I could stay by her side.I deceived you to fulfill my selfish desires. I'm so sorry Madison.I’ll do anything you want me to just to earn your forgiven

Author's pov VIP Hospital SuiteThe steady beep of the heart monitor was the only sound in the pristine white room until the door opened. Eleanor walked briskly in, her heels barely making a sound against the polished floor. In her hand was a small, unmarked bottle of medicine.Her eyes glinted strangely as she poured the pills into her palm and handed them to the man lying in the hospital bed.“Here,” she said softly. “This will help.”Mr. Harper swallowed them without question, though his brow furrowed at the calculating expression that lingered on his wife’s face.She sat on the edge of his bed, leaning forward. “Your company… might be in danger of being taken by Madison.”He blinked, startled. “What do you mean?”“I went to see Grandpa’s lawyer some time ago,” she explained, her voice low but sharp. “I even offered him money to tell me what he did with his shares. He refused. But while I was… persuading him, he slipped. Said something like, ‘It has already been taken.’ He wou

AUTHOR'S POVMorning sunlight poured gently through the sheer curtains, casting a warm glow across the bedroom. Madison stirred beneath the soft duvet, her body still heavy from the exhaustion of the past day. The faint scent of freshly brewed tea drifted in from somewhere, mingling with the quiet hum of the world outside. She was home after being discharged last night.She blinked, adjusting to the light… and saw him.Richard sat in the armchair beside her bed, elbows resting on his knees, his gaze fixed on the floor as if lost in some deep, unending thought. His shirt was wrinkled, his hair slightly disheveled, as though he hadn’t slept at all.“…Richard?” Her voice cracked from sleep.He looked up quickly, the tension in his features softening at the sight of her awake. “You’re up,” he said quietly, standing to move closer.She pushed herself up slowly against the headboard, watching him. “Have you been sitting there all night?”He didn’t answer that … not directly. Instead, he low
