We had to return early because we missed you and Marie so much. So now, back to my initial question. What are you asking your aunt Gemma not to tell anyone?" Anne asked. "Well... Ummm…Uhmmm"For a minute Madeline stammered, attempting to think of a plausible tale to cover up her true secret. She was aware of her mother's keen perception.

Mr. Johnson knew that if Madeline reported to her father and Lucian decided to withdraw this helping hand towards the school, the school and everything would crumble to the ground.

Author’s POVMadeline looked up at her school principal, eager to bear what he was about to say.“I can’t do that; he committed an offence and he has to be punished for it. If I reduce his suspension to a week, students will think I have become weak and would take the school’s rules for granted,” principal Johnson said.Madeline scowled, obviously dissatisfied. She attempted to strengthen her argument.“However, Mr. Johnson, Daniel took the necessary steps to shield me from Aaron’s abuse. It was a bold deed. Is there anything we can do to decrease his sentence? I’ll see to it that he realizes how grave his acts are.”The principal paused to think about what she had said before answering.“Madeline, I recognize your worries, but for the benefit of all kids, we must enforce the school’s policies.

Lucian asked with a harsh voice.His heart was beating really fast and he was at the verge of breaking down but he tried to calm himself; he wanted to be strong for Anne who was already wailing."We looked everywhere we could possibly look. We even checked out the homes of all their friends but they all claimed that they hadn't seen them since after school hours. But you shouldn't worry sir, they probably got stuck somewhere because of the rain. I'm sure they'd be back home soon," the cops said.Lucian was pissed by the cop's last statement.

The Billionaire’s One-night Stand Chapter Fifty-Two: Dinner as the Boyfriend
Author's POVHer father's request did not only sound absurd but also very strange. She wondered why her father would ask her to do something like that. At the same time, she felt sad that her parents wanted Marie to be with Daniel. "I'm sorry but I cannot do it," she said."And why is that, Madeline?" With a perceptive look and an urgent tone, her father questioned her. "You know your sister really likes Daniel, and he's your friend.
