Semua Bab I’m All Yours, Maddox: Bab 1 - Bab 6

With a slight frown creasing my brows I dragged my luggage towards the apartment that stood big and mighty right in front of me. No matter how far I ran, life always dragged me back toward him. And now, after years of distance, I was walking straight into the one place I swore I’d never share with Maddox again. I stopped on my tracks, running my eyes over this place, where I’m to live with my well-to-do stepbrother. Hesitatingly, I stretched my hand over to the doorbell, about to ring it, when the door swung open, almost startling me. My eyes met with the cold, grey ones staring right back at me. There he was, Maddox! Instead of stepping aside, Maddox stayed planted firmly in the center of the frame. His broad shoulders completely blocked the entrance, his towering frame casting a long shadow right over me. He didn't move an inch, intentionally trapping me on the welcome mat as his eyes tracked the slight tremor in my hands. "You're here..." He called dryly, finally breaking
