Novel & Cerita Truly Madly Guilty

Scarlett’s POV The liquid went down wrong, burning my throat, making me cough and gasp. Water splashed across the tablecloth, dark spots blooming on the white linen. Cade froze on the staircase. One foot suspended mid-step. His entire body had gone rigid. "What?" Mom's voice cut through the sudden silence. "What child are you talking about, Maddy?" "I'm pregnant." Madison stuffed another mouthful of cheesecake between her lips, chewed, swallowed. "I was going to announce it at dinner, but what better family time than now?"

"Looks like she's bent on staying stubborn till the very end! Open the door! Since Lorraine insists on being defiant, she can just live in the silver mine!" With a pout on his face, Rupert dug out a key from his pocket. My brothers gazed down at the silver mine, which was actually a deep pit. "Lorraine, we're giving you one last chance. Do you know where your faults lie this time?" Leo's intimidating voice echoed all the way to the bottom of the mine. "You committed a grave sin by poisoning your own family! Get your ass here right now if you don't want to die inside the mine!" Ryan wore a look of unwavering justice, his eyes cold as ice.

"Thane, please, if you just let me explain—" "Explain what?" His voice rose again. "That you're not actually a criminal? That the Wallaces framed you? That you were just a poor victim who needed saving?" His eyes were cold, dead. "Joe found everything. Your real criminal record. Were you also trying to seduce Maverick while wearing my ring just in case your plans with me didn't work?" "What? No, that's not—" "I have evidence, Madison." He stepped closer, and I backed up, glass crunching under my heels. "You played me. Saw a rich, stupid mark and decided to cash in. The sweet nurse act, the innocent virgin story, all of it was a con."

“Maddy isn’t exactly innocent either.” She turns to me, confusion flickering across her face. “Maddy cheated on Liam,” I continue quietly. “With Mr. Madden.” Her reaction is immediate. “You’re fucking joking!” I wince as a few nearby heads turn at her outburst, but she doesn’t care. Her eyes stay locked on mine, wide with disbelief. “Maddy cheated on Liam with his brother?” she hisses. “Is that, like, a family tradition or something?”

I guess I can let down my guard for a little while. Whenever I'm with Kristina, I feel I'm being thawed. I let her rest on my shoulder for a little while longer and I rested my head on hers. I whispered my thoughts to the moon. Am I allowed to be greedy for once? But I know it's only going to hurt us both in the end. Can you tell which one is the real you? Because the more time I spend with you, the less I'm convinced that you're the person I hated so much.

I go into the panic room and shut the door. I hear the office door open, and the three men begin to go through the office. "Where is she?" Mr. David calls out in anger. I am not sure I can trust him, either. I open the floor of the panic room, revealing the safe. I put the key into the safe and open it. I reach in and pull out a bag of money, a new ID for me, and a credit card. I have a feeling I might be on the run for a while.

The man was so fucking organized, it almost seems like he does not make mistakes. “Let's go meet the other ladies,” Brenda offered. I didn't want to meet the other ladies, they are judgmental women who pretend to be saints, but I knew their dirty secrets. Ranging from Lana: The goody two shoes girlfriend who has fucked her boyfriend's friend multiple times behind her boyfriend's back. Then to Maria: The one who pretends to be a virgin but she is a fucking whore who sleeps with men for money. Then Aurora: The one who talks about staying with one guy, but she has jumped to four guys in just six months because she is trying to find the right cock that would fuck her well.

"Cara is definitely this family's child. There must be a misunderstanding. I've been working hard to support this family and I'm so busy frequently that I only have time to take a nap in the on-call room, and you said I've been cheating outside?" Jack immediately grabbed a wine glass on the table and hurled it at me as soon as I finished my sentence. "I trusted you, but not only did you betray me, you refused to acknowledge it even now? Looks like you're not going to admit everything until the final moment!" Cara quickly covered my ears when she heard what Jack was saying, "You can't say to Mom! Mom won't do something like that! I'm your daughter! If you don't believe it, I can do the test w

Then she would vanish without a trace the next day. Dominic was too afraid to sleep. He forced himself to walk around the mansion at night. The extreme anxiety made him unusually sensitive. He yelled at his servants and even pointed a gun at their heads, which terrified them. On one occasion, he accidentally fired his gun and nearly shot his bodyguard. People avoided Dominic as if he were a plague. News of Dominic’s madness spread wide. “If I close my eyes, you better wake me up!” Dominic pleaded as he gripped my hand tightly.
