She broke the silence that enveloped them by letting out a small smile. "No. He hasn't. There is no way he'd know where I stay or have my contact, right?""Yeah... That's true. But, I know how Julian can be. It was all just a mix-up... It was never my fault. He feels I betrayed him and I feel bad about that." Liam said, heaving a sigh."Can we talk about it now? I want to know what really happened. Why does he accuse you of taking me from him?" She asked."I really don't want to have that conversation, my love. All that matters is that we are together and we love each other. Just let the past be." He said, cupping her face in his palms. "Don't worry about it. I and Julian will sort each other out." He planted a kiss on her forehead."But..." She tried protesting."shhhh... Don't worry about it. We can talk about it another time. But right now, let's focus on us. I've missed you so much." Liam wasn't ready to tell Madison all that had happened then. He was scared that telling her might
"We should have killed her when we had the chance. You were too weak to do so. Now look what's happening," The angry voice of Michelle sounded in the quiet room.Mr. Hudson sat quietly, listening to his angry wife as she vented out."What do we do now? You know the union between Julian and Tiffany is very important. We can't afford to let Julian ruin things for us!" She added, her anger evident in her voice."You have to calm down, honey. We'll look for a way around this. I promise you that." Hudson said, hoping he'd calm her down.His wife had told him to give permission to get rid of Adi when they had the opportunity, but he didn't feel right about it. Now, look where they've gotten to."It'll be even more difficult now that she's with Liam. She's no longer the naive girl we used to know." She hissed."We'll find a way to deal with this. Trust me." He moved over to where she sat and wrapped his arms around her. "Everything will turn out fine, okay?""I really do hope so."***Julian
Madison lay quietly on the bed, watching Liam's peaceful face while he slept. She sighed, standing up and making her way to the bathroom.She felt weak and tired from the numerous rounds they just had and she wished for more sleep, but sleep eluded her.She stared at her reflection in the mirror as he thoughts drifted away to all the things Liam had told her some hours ago. She gave it a long, hard thought and each time, a tiny part of her still yearned to give Julian listening ears.How could he? She kept asking herself that question. She broke down in tears, letting out all the hurt she felt. "How could he?" She muttered, clutching her chest tightly as she let tears flow down her cheeks.The thought of Julian abandoning her after using her was painful. The thought of him having someone else but still used her and took away her most-priced possession - her virginity - was too painful to bear. She had thought she'd giving it to someone worthy of it but she was wrong after all.She had
"You knew about this, didn't you?" Liam fumed with anger as he walked toward Madison and Jenna. "You knew he'd be here and that's why you insisted on coming alone, huh?""No... No, Liam. Not at all. I didn't know he'd be here," Madison tried explaining, her voice quivering."Liam, he just showed up, I promise," Jenna tried to intervene, sensing the escalating tension."No, Jenna. Stay out of this," Liam retorted, pacing around and placing his hands on his waist. "You knew. You both knew. You all wanted to betray me. I trusted you, Jenna!" He half-yelled, his frustration reaching its peak."Liam, you have to calm down. Let's go in and talk about this, please?" Madison said carefully, not wanting to get him more upset."There is nothing to talk about. Let's go home," Liam said, pulling Madison by the hand, his anger still simmering."No, Liam! Stop!" She yelled at him, pulling her hand off his grip. "Can you just calm down and let us talk? What's going on? You've been acting really weir
Madison climbed the stairs that led to Liam's room. She knew he was home because his cars were all parked outside.She had to settle this once and for all. She couldn't live her life like she was a prisoner.She pushed the door to his room open, her eyes darting around angrily until she saw him sitting at the far end of the room, operating his laptop.The sound of the door opening made him turn around to see who it was, "Oh, babe?" he called, standing up to meet her."Don't come near me!" She said angrily, making him halt immediately."What is going on, babe? Who got you this upset?" he asked so innocently with so much concern in his voice."Why, Liam? Why get a bodyguard to follow me around? What did you do that for?" she asked, crossing her arms over her chest as she waited for a response.Liam heaved a sigh of relief, "Oh, that?" he smiled. "Is that why you are this pissed? Come on, honey. It's just for your safety," he explained, maintaining his smile."Really? What makes you thin
The classic blue car pulled into the grand entrance of the gigantic compound of the Hudsons, its polished exterior glistening in the light. The chauffeur stepped out of the sleek car, his crisp white shirt immaculately pressed and complemented by his perfectly knotted black tie. He quickly made his way to the owner's seat, where he opened the door hastily for his boss to step out.As he emerged from his sleek and shiny Ferrari, gifted to him by his doting father on his 26th birthday, Julian Hudson exuded an air of sophistication and refinement that was reflected in his impeccable fashion sense. He was a young man who knew how to dress to impress, and he carried himself with an effortless confidence that turned heads wherever he went.His chiseled features boasted of a timeless beauty - sharp cheekbones, a strong jawline, and a perfect nose that complemented his piercing green eyes. Those eyes seemed to hold a secret mischievousness, a glint of playful rebellion that added to his allur
In less than two hours, Julian was already seated in his uncle's sitting room. It was really huge, but he was used to it. He was from a lineage of wealthy folks.Fred Anderson was a very big name in the United States. He was one of the wealthiest men in the country. Just like his father, Uncle Fred has made a name for his business as well.Already retired, his son, Liam, has already taken over from him. Liam has been doing very well in the world of business, making his father proud. One of the reasons his father, Albert, has always wanted him to take over the company after he retires."It's nice to have you here, Julian," came his uncle's baritone voice as he ascended the stairs.It's been quite a while, and he truly misses his uncle."Uncle Fred, I've missed you." Julian took a few strides to where his uncle stood and hugged him."I've missed you too, son. How was studies? I'm very certain you came out with flying colors," his uncle asked with a familiar grin."Certainly, uncle, I su
"Attention, ladies, and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts as we prepare for takeoff," the announcement echoed throughout the aircraft, prompting passengers to take their seats and make themselves comfortable as the crew prepared for takeoff.With trembling fingers, Julian dialed Adi's number for what felt like the hundredth time, his heart sinking with every failed attempt.As his call went straight to voicemail once again, a wave of anxiety washed over him, and he couldn't help but wonder what could have happened to her. Was she safe? He could imagine how terrible she’d feel right now, and he couldn't shake off this feeling of helplessness. The thought of it made his stomach churn."Phew!" He let out a sharp breath as he turned off his phone, resolving to keep trying when he arrived Scotland. It's going to be a long trip. He prayed to the heavens to keep her sane for him until he reached her again. He knew how worried she can g
