Chapter 21

MADELYN'S POVI smiled to myself as Wyne disappeared into the private restroom with the sheet mask in his hand. Who would've thought... The mighty Wyne Moretti had actually listened to me.I picked up another report and had barely read two lines when my phone vibrated across the desk... I glanced at the screen. The moment I saw the caller ID... Every trace of amusement vanished from my face.Giovanni Davenport.Without a second thought, I stood up and walked toward the floor-to-ceiling window before answering."Hello?"His deep voice came through immediately."Madelyn."Just hearing his voice made my shoulders instinctively straighten."Yes... Brother?"There was a brief silence."When are you coming home?"I closed my eyes... I was supposed to visit home every weekend but since I came, I didn't visited for once.... Mom called once or twice and asked to come but I made up excuses....

Chapter 22

MADELYN'S POVThe dining table was unusually quiet. The crystal chandelier cast a warm glow over the polished mahogany table while servants silently moved around, refilling glasses and replacing empty dishes. Father sat at the head of the table.Mom was sitting beside him. Giovanni and Marlin were discussing things that happened at their workplace from time to time, exchanging updates about how Gio performed a high risk surgery and is in line for promotion... Marlin joined in saying how she won every case she took...Diago was as usual out of town for his work while Sandro quietly ate his food...I simply... Focused on my plate. Pushing vegetables around with my fork. Pretending I was interested in the food. Like them... I could brag too. I could tell them that I'd made millions this week. I could tell them I'd quietly purchased the entire building I was currently living in.I could tell them that some of the country's most influential businessmen had been waiting months just to get a

Chapter 23

MADELYN'S POV The rest of dinner passed in complete silence. No one brought up Wyne again. No one asked another question. Yet... I could feel Father's eyes drifting toward me every now and then. Not with disappointment. Not with anger like usual but.... With calculation. That look alone made me lose my appetite. A few minutes later... Dinner ended. The servants quietly cleared the table while everyone dispersed to their usual routines. Giovanni headed toward his study to finish reviewing patient files. Marlin disappeared upstairs while talking on the phone with one of her clients. Sandro silently walked to the library with a book tucked beneath his arm. He glanced at me once before leaving... Once I get time, I need to talk to him... Mom excused herself to prepare for bed. I remained where I was. Father had already left. His study door upstairs stood slightly open

Chapter 24

MADELYN'S POVHis words echoed through the study."It was the Morettis that pushed your grandfather to his death."For the first time since entering the room... I was genuinely speechless."...What?"Father held my gaze without wavering."You heard me.""No."I shook my head almost immediately."That's impossible.""Is it?""The Morettis have been our competitors for decades. They're ruthless. But pushing someone to their death?"I took another step toward him."...No. I don't believe that."Father's expression remained unreadable."You don't believe me?""I don't.""Why?""Because you're asking me to spy on Wyne. Because you've already admitted you want Blackgold destroyed. So how am I supposed to know this isn't another attempt to manipulate me?"

Chapter 25

MADELYN'S POV"Pray that what he was saying isn't the truth, Wyne Moretti... Because if it is... I'll destroy that company in a way generations won't forget." The thought flashed through my mind before I immediately stopped walking. "...No." I shut my eyes tightly. "What am I even thinking?" I let out a slow breath. I had spent years teaching myself never to make decisions while angry. That rule had built my company. It had saved me from countless mistakes. I wasn't about to abandon it now. I knew nothing. Only one side of the story. One accusation. Nothing more. Until I heard everything... Until I found proof... I refused to judge anyone. Not Wyne. Not the Morettis. Not even Father. First of allI don't trust my father...

Chapter 26

MADELYN'S POVThe next morning, I arrived at the office earlier than usual. I had barely stepped out of the elevator when I remembered what happened the night before. I left early in the morning without saying anything to anyone... Everyone will get busy for their day anyway... Last night's incidents are still fresh in my mind... Father's words. The Morettis. Grandfather. That ridiculous deal that made no sense to me and went absolutely against my morals... I can't believe I stood there through every word he said...And somehow... Wyne Moretti was at the center of all of it. As if his target was to bring down the Moretti's... I shook my head. Not now. I wasn't going to let personal matters interfere with work. At least... not yet. Not until I know the whole truth about my grandfather....I walked straight toward Wyne's office. Matilda glanced at me and immediately stood. She looked much better than that night... She smiled at me with gratefulness..."Good morning, Madelyn""Morning.

Chapter 27

MADELYN'S POVThe airport was already busy when I arrived.Thankfully, I wasn't traveling like a normal passenger today.A private entrance had been arranged for Blackgold, which meant I didn't have to deal with the usual crowds, endless security lines, or people rushing around with suitcases.Still... I wasn't exactly thrilled about being here.I adjusted the strap of my handbag on my shoulder as I walked through the private terminal.Porto Rico. Three days. Business negotiations. And Wyne Moretti.I was already regretting agreeing to this. Although... technically, I hadn't exactly agreed. I had been blackmailed.There was a difference.I entered the VIP lounge and immediately spotted Wyne.Of course I did. He was impossible to miss.He sat comfortably on one of the leather sofas, one leg crossed over the other, dressed in a perfectly tailored dark suit. His phone rested on the table beside him while Matilda stood nearby, holding a tablet and going through several reports."...The re

Chapter 28

WYNE'S POVI noticed her the moment she walked in... Of course I had to when I kept on glancing towards the entrance... Even though I know she is going to show up, this is Maddelyn we are talking about... I won't be surprised if she didn't show up... But she did...Wearing something more casual than professional... And I realized that this is the first time I saw her dressed this casually... Then I noticed another figure. Adrian Cole.I had met him few times during meetings... He wasn't suppose to join us initially but made a request since he had some technical issues with his own private Jet... I didn't think much of it back then but now I am regretting it.. I should have just refused...I couldn't properly hear what Matilda was explaining because all my attention was on Maddelyn and this bastard Adrian... The way he was talking to her and making moves on her and the way she was trying hard to turn him down every time is mak

Chapter 29

MADDELYN'S POVI stared at Wyne who was practically glaring at Adrian... Andrew perhaps took the hint and just leaned back and nodded, not saying another word, at least not to me..Suddenly his eyes shifted to Matilda who was just minding her business and started talking to her... I could see her getting a bit taken a back too...I glanced at Wyne who, now didn't care if Adrian was talking to Matilda who was surely the 'employee' he was talking about just now... His eyes were glued to his phone and looked like he was typing something fast...Though the comment was a bit unhinged, I didn't really mind it... It somehow made me feel good... It made me feel protected even though I could have just flipped off this Adrian and deal with the consequenses later...It's not like I would admit it but I do like this side of Wyne, minus the comment because if alone right now, I would have given him earful for saying that..It was finally time to board.We made our way toward the private jet, with
