Jenna's piercing scream rang so loud that Madison had to protect her ears with her palms."I'm so happy for you, pumpkin! Aren't you one lucky bitch? Girl????" She embraced Madison tightly, overwhelmed with the good news she just heard."Jenna..." Madison sighed, "I don't know why he's so sweet towards me... Do I deserve all of these? You know, after Julian, I never thought I'd find the perfect man who'd make up for the heartache I went through when Julian abandoned me," tears were beginning to form in her eyes."Hey... I won't let you do that. Don't you dare shed as much as a drop of tear," She warned, trying to sound serious. "You deserve everything good, love, and don't let memories of that coward ruin your moment, okay? You still have a date to prepare for.""I know, right?" She drew in a deep breath, calming herself down. "I wonder what other surprise he has waiting for me. Recently, I get scared whenever he promises a surprise, you know... Because he doesn't fail to sweep me off
Tears... emotions... Tenderness... Love... Happiness... All these and many more overwhelmed Jenna, as she looked at the beautiful wonder standing before her.She was done adorning Madison with utmost care and precision. She knew how important this day was, and she knew exactly how Madison should look.Jenna's eyes went carefully over every inch of Madison's body, scrutinizing every single detail of her outfit, from the sleek designer gold-colored heels to the expensive black gown oozing with elegance that stood above knee length, carefully accentuating every curve on her body, the customized diamond necklace gifted to her by Liam, the diamond earrings that glistened beautifully, adding a beautiful shade of light to her face, her perfectly styled hair, just very perfect for the dress and the light make-up that added radiance to her face."Oh, Adi?" Jenna's voice called almost in a whisper, filled with so many emotions. "You look perfect," Her eyes were brimming with tears already."Now
The noise from the chattering crowd died down the moment the moderator took over the stage."Ladies and gentlemen. With great pleasure, I welcome you all to this wonderful event."Julian's gaze shifted from his phone to the person on stage as he tucked his phone into his pocket. He decided to pay attention to the event for a few minutes before proceeding with his quest. He planned to make his presence known to Liam, hang around for a few more minutes, and be on his way already."As we all know, today marks the beginning of something huge - the official opening of The Grand Prairie Gallery!" The moderator spoke with an enthusiastic voice.There was a round of applause from the crowd, but from Julian, there was only more confusion and curiosity oozing from every part of him.He couldn't tell why, but he felt a bit uneasy. The fact that someone else's art gallery bore the same name as the one Adi had always dreamt of was already a burden to him. Then there was that portrait that looked u
There, at the entrance, he saw her... The lady in a blindfold being carefully led to the stage by a man in a black suit. For some strange reason, he felt a pang in his chest.Although he couldn't get a clear view of the lady walking up to the stage from where he stood, but he knew one thing for sure; she was breathtakingly beautiful.But that wasn't all. As she walked further into the hall, she flashed a set of white teeth as she let out a beautiful smile, anticipation written all over her smile.Julian could feel his heart beating so loud, threatening to fall off his chest. Her smile... How is she looking this familiar? Is this some kind of fucking hallucination or what? He swallowed hard; his hands trembled at his own question.His eyes remained fixed on the lady, his fists tightly fisted. 'No.' He repeatedly said to himself. This wasn't a coincidence. Why did she look so much like Adi?Although the lady on the stage looked more elegant than Adi, she seemed really wealthy. Her skin
"Hello, mum!" The velvety voice of an excited lady screamed into the phone. "I just arrived at the airport!" Excitement filled her voice as the twenty-five-year-old lady walked majestically in with her head held high."Oh, my baby!" Mrs Evanna responded with the same energy. "I can't wait to see you, hun. Have you located the driver?""Uhm... Not yet. But I'm on my way to the exit now, Mum." Britteny looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of her driver."Alright, honey. See you soon.""But, mum?""Yes, pumpkin?""I'd like to see him before coming home," she hesitated before speaking."Baby... Why don't you get over here first? Then you can see him after that." Mrs Evanna knew this was a sensitive topic for her daughter, and they had to handle it carefully."I haven't heard from nor seen him in three years, Mum. I'm losing my mind." Sadness began to take over her cheerfulness."I know. Just come home, okay? Mummy misses you so much." She hoped that'd work."Okay, mum," Britteny respo
"Liam?" Madison called out softly. She knew he'd be very worried at this point. But, she more worried. He hadn't said a word yet about the situation and it was killing her. She tried sitting up on the bed, but Liam stopped her. "You don't have to. I'm here." He said calmly. "Aren't we going to talk about it? Should we keep on pretending like nothing happened?" She asked. Liam scoffed. "All that matters to me right now is your health. The doctor said you can go home today with a little more rest. It would kill me if the doctor said otherwise because you refused to heed instructions." He patted her cheeks lovingly. "Liam... I insist." "Shhhh. Hush, now and get some rest, love. We can talk another time. We still have forever together, remember?" He said and stared down at her ring. Madison looked at her fingers and smiled lightly at the ring. It looked so beautiful. Today wasn't supposed to end like this. She smiled at Liam who held her gaze. She loved him so much and she'd love to
The rain had finally stopped, leaving the streets glistening with wetness under the moonlight. Madison had just been discharged from the hospital. She was meant to feel relief, but her heart was heavy. Liam's silence was killing her.She sat quietly in the plush leather seats of Liam's luxury car, her gaze drifting out of the window as they made their way through the city.Liam, sitting at the wheel, his hands firm on it, had not said a word since they left the hospital. The silence was deafening, the tension disturbing. Madison couldn't take it any longer; she needed to break it."Liam," she finally spoke, her voice soft and almost a whisper.He glanced at her briefly, his jaw clenched, but said nothing.She continued, "I know you're worried about my recovery, and I appreciate that, but we can't just ignore what happened today."Liam sighed, his grip on the steering wheel tightening. "Madison, right now, all I care about is your well-being. We can talk about it later."Madison leaned
Adi's eyes widened in surprise. "What are you doing, Julian? Leave, now!" She said through shaky breaths.Julian pushed his way into the apartment and shut the door behind him, taking slow steps closer to her.Madison took quick, desperate steps backward, her heart pounding in her chest. She knew Julian wasn't a bad person. But they have been apart for quite some time now. She doesn't know the kind of man he might have grown into."Julian... I'll call the cops on you." She threatened, swallowing a lump in her throat."All I want is for you to hear me out, Adi. That's all I want." He stepped closer to her. "Please, stop running away from me. I am not a monster. It is me, Julian. The man you love... The one man you swore with your virginity to be with, no matter what, Adi..."His words sent a piercing pain into her heart as realization dawned on her.On the night she gave her virginity to Julian, they had both swore under the full moon on that fateful night, by her virginity always to b
