🔥🔥Click to read the next chapter for free👉 | We were now the new Alpha and Luna of The Nightcrawlers Pride and we were expected to carry out our duties immediately. While no one would say it, I knew that the 'baby making process' was expected as well. We headed to our new room to commence and mark the final activity for the mating ceremony. A day that I had looked forward to all my life. I was nervous and it didn't seem like a good one. I didn't know what to expect but I was already wet, my niples had rolled into tight buds and they tried to gain attention and drill a hole through my outfit. I stepped into the room before him. "I'll be right back," he said and I nodded, closing the door behind me. Immediately, I dashed to the bathroom and took a shower. I couldn't afford this moment to be ruined. I wrapped the towel around my chast and got out of the shower. My heart hammered in my chast. Karson was staring at me with his undivided attention. His gaze dropped lower and I tightened my hand around my towel. The air was thick and in an instant, he was taking long strides towards me. I met him half way and while my hands reached out to touch his face and pull him into a kiss, his hand grabbed my towel and he yanked it off. I gasped in shock but his hands grabbed my brreasts. I was immediately enveloped in the feel of him. I wrapped my hands around his back as he licked and softly nibbled on my hard niples. His rough hands trailed down my body and kicked my legs apart. He slid two fingers into my core and I gasped at the sudden intrusion. "How are you so wet?" He mumbled to himself. I couldn't breathe. His fingers were bigger than mine so they stretched me more than I had ever done to myself. I felt so full and I hadn't even had the real thing yet. He pumped into me hard and fast, soon my legs shook and my eyes were fluttering close. "Karson," I wanted it now. I wanted it right now. I wanted his shaft filling me up and I wanted his bite mark over my neck. "Fvcking hel, Irene!" He cursed and roughly pulled out his fingers. He grabbed my wrist and made me climb the bed, he pressed a hand to my waist and I knew what he wanted. | LEARN_MORE | https://befant.com/market/buenovela/3?lpid=14374&u | Indulge in story | https://www.facebook.com/61552702618591/ | 842 | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Learn More | 0 | befant.com | DCO | https://befant.com/market/buenovela/3?lpid=14374&utm_campaign={{campaign.name}}&utm_content={{campaign.id}}&adset_name={{adset.name}}&adset_id={{adset.id}}&ad_id={{ad.id}}&ad_name={{ad.name}}&placement={{placement}} | 1969-12-31 18:00 | https://scontent-iad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/461381295_1047237326809879_2047251461871923527_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=ox-gpEa-OMAQ7kNvgH3mo1W&_nc_zt=14&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.xx&_nc_gid=AIHyHctfFjdG-maqQD8H_3P&oh=00_AYBvqNvUlFPZ6ifW9xzkium28wXBcCmibg7WCQxrD9GtKg&oe=673B0D26 | PERSON_PROFILE | 0 | 0 | 0 | Indulge in story | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

😍Read the next chapters👉 | Chapter 1 "You'll have the test results in about an hour." The nurse's smile was gentle and reassuring as she took the vial of blood from Madeline Sanders. Madeline held a cotton swab to her arm and settled into a chair in the waiting area. She was a bit pale, but her eyes sparkled with hope. She had a hunch she was conceived, and that hospital visit was just to make sure. Three years ago, Trevon Gibson was involved in a terrible car crash that left him comatose, with doctors saying he would never wake up. Lydia Sanders, Trevon's high school sweetheart and Madeline's half-sister, did not waste any time and jetted off abroad for her studies. Somehow, Trevon's grandmother—Edith Gibson—figured that Madeline was Trevon's lucky charm and insisted she marry him. The Gibson family promised to care for Madeline's mother, who was lost in her own world of madness. Madeline felt trapped but agreed to the marriage. Little did everyone know that Madeline was secretly in love with Trevon for years. To everyone's surprise, Trevon woke up after the wedding. However, Madeline's joy was short-lived. Trevon's first words to her were icy and calculated. "Out of respect for my grandmother, I'll take you as Mrs. Gibson for three years. When Lydia returns in three years, I will marry her." Madeline had braced herself to play along with that deal, ready to step aside when the time came. However, life threw a curveball a month and a half ago. Trevon stumbled home after drowning his sorrows in wine that day, and Madeline single-handedly managed to drag him inside. Supporting a drunken Trevon was like moving a boulder—each step a battle of strength. Madeline and Trevon could no longer keep themselves upright and crumpled to the floor just inside the front door. Their lips brushed together in the fall, an accidental kiss that sent Madeline's heart racing. Trevon was a notorious germaphobe, avoiding physical contact like the plague. However, that unexpected kiss seemed to unlock something in him, and he leaned in for another. Madeline was caught off guard, but she did not resist. Later, in the quiet aftermath, Madeline could not bear to stay in the bed they shared. She tiptoed around the sleeping Trevon, erasing any trace of what had happened between them. The hospital was a hive of activity, but Madeline felt alone in the crowd. With trembling hands, she opened the lab results. 'Early stage of conceive. Recommend a follow-up ultrasound.' Joy flickered across her face, quickly hidden behind her hand to muffle her giggles. Regardless of the state of her marriage, that baby was a precious gift. She was eager to tell Trevon, her fingers hovering over her phone. However, she hesitated. Trevon's germaphobia was not just about objects—it extended to people. She had seen him scrub his hands raw after a mere handshake. However, wine had loosened his inhibitions that one night. Would he believe the baby was his? Doubt clouded Madeline's mind, bringing a headache and a wave of nausea. She was jostled as a group of doctors in white coats rushed by, nearly sending her phone flying. "Emergency! Please step aside," a nurse said, flashing Madeline a quick, apologetic smile before dashing off. Madeline took a deep breath, watching the commotion unfold. Her gaze drifted to the emergency room doors without much thought. However, in a heartbeat, her eyes widened in shock. Trevon was there, shielding Lydia as they stepped down from the ambulance. He guided her gently onto a stretcher and, with a team around them, made a beeline for the VIP suite. A chilling shiver sliced through Madeline, her knees buckling as she clung to the nearby railing for support. Lydia was back. In the hospital room, the doctor briefed Trevon. "It seems like a mild concussion, but we'll need the test results to be sure." Trevon's expression was serious. "Speed it up. Use the VIP route." Lydia, stretched out on the gurney, smiled weakly at Trevon. "You're always so kind to me." Lydia pouted as she continued, "I wasn't paying attention. Who would've thought a bike bump could lead to a concussion? In Ameristan, people usually slow down on their own." Trevon gave her a fleeting, detached look. A flicker of worry crossed Lydia's face. "Trevon, with Skylandia's tight deadlines, isn't my accident going to set us back a lot?" Skylandia was the latest venture from Trevon's gaming empire, Xystos Tech, and Lydia had returned to lead the art on it. "I won't stay here. I have to get back to work," she declared, attempting to get out of bed. Trevon was quick to intervene, his hand on her shoulder easing her back down. "Don't be childish." As the tender scene unfolded, Madeline watched them outside the VIP room with gritted teeth. Trevon was notorious for his meticulous ways, but he did have a soft spot. He was not always distant. He just saved all his warmth for Lydia. Madeline felt a wave of emotion as she teared up. She touched her nose and fought the tears. Without really knowing why, she found herself pulling out her phone and calling Trevon. In the sterile silence of the hospital room, Trevon's face froze for a moment as he checked his phone, then casually handed it off to his assistant, Simon Taylors. "Tell her I'm tied up in a meeting." Madeline's heart clenched as Trevon's annoyed expression flickered across his face. Simon, moving to the side, answered Madeline's call softly. "Hello, Mrs. Gibson. Mr. Gibson is busy in a meeting. Is there something you need?" Madeline's lips twitched with a defeated smile. "No, it's nothing. I just hit the wrong button." Simon frowned. "Mr. Gibson's schedule is packed. Please be more careful in the future, Mrs. Gibson." The future? Was there even a future to speak of? Lydia, overhearing Simon, gave Trevon a subtle glance. She casually showed off the pink Hello Kitty bandage on her hand. Trevon's eyes snapped to it, his voice laced with a hint of longing. "You still haven't kicked that old habit, I see." Lydia forced a smile. "Well, you know I've always been fond of Hello Kitty." Their eyes met, and for a moment, the world around them seemed to soften. Madeline could not stand it any longer. Clutching her phone, she turned around and left. She thought one night could change things, but it was just wishful thinking. Despite the autumn season, Redenbaugh City was sweltering, and the hospital's air conditioning was cranked up, sending chills down her spine. She felt light-headed, as if she were floating on air. Suddenly, a little boy darted into her path, bumping into her. Madeline's face went pale as she caught the little boy, but in doing so, she lost her footing and tumbled to the ground. The fall sent a chill up her spine, and she held her belly, too afraid to move. The boy, however, started wailing, drawing curious glances from passersby. His mother rushed over and gave him a quick once-over. When she found him unscathed, she pulled him into a tight embrace before turning to Madeline with fury. "Can't you watch where you're going? You ran into my baby! How will you make this right?" Madeline, her mind on the baby she was carrying, bit back her pain and chose not to retaliate. Instead, she made her way to the maternity ward upstairs. The mother was not having it, yanking on Madeline's arm. "You think you can just hit someone and leave?" Madeline, nearly tripping over, turned slightly and offered calmly, "Should we review the security footage?" The woman, clutching her son, stormed off. Madeline felt her vision darken as she clutched her chest. She leaned against the railing, immobilized. In the VIP ward, Lydia gazed at Trevon longingly and leaned in for a kiss. Trevon, who was aloof, felt a wave of nausea as she got close. His vision blurred, and his chest tightened. He flinched and shoved Lydia away. Chapter 2 "Here's the divorce agreement. Take a look." Trevon, fresh from the hospital, confronted Madeline with a request for divorce. The image of Lydia's hurt look lingered in his mind, leaving him with a sense of resignation. His rejection was not just about his aversion to germs. It was also the sudden sickness and weakness that overtook him. He dismissed it as a one-off, which was not worth worrying about. However, faced with Madeline, the discomfort was undeniable. Madeline, still reeling from her hospital visit, was blindsided by the divorce papers laid out before her. It took a moment for her to find her voice, and when she did, it quivered. "Do we really have to end this?" "Yes." Madeline's grip tightened, and the question she could not suppress spilled out. "Is it because Lydia's back?" Trevon loosened his tie, his face turning to stone. "Didn't I make myself clear three years ago?" He had, and she had accepted it. However… "If... Just if..." Madeline hesitated, biting her lip. Trevon was impatient. "Madeline, you can't always want more." She looked up sharply, disbelief etched on her face. Did he think she was haggling over the divorce terms? With several deliberate taps on the table, Trevon continued, "Indeed, you've done everything required of being a wife these past three years. There's a modest place near Johnsrud. It's yours now. That's the best I can do. Don't make me lose respect for you." Madeline's response was trapped in her throat as she smiled bitterly. Three years of marriage, and her reward was a house. Should she be thankful? He was determined to get the divorce over with, by any means necessary. There was no need to mention the baby. It would only complicate how he saw her. She did not need a man whose heart belonged to another. Madeline felt nauseous, feeling like she needed to purge immediately. She crouched down to clutch the bin and gagged, but nothing came up. Trevon watched, his brow furrowed in disbelief. Why did her sickness stir something in him? Was it a mere coincidence? Seeing her ashen face, it was clear she was unwell. Trevor gave Madeline a questioning look. "Are you sick? When did it start? What's wrong?" Madeline felt the urge to throw up but could not, which only intensified her discomfort. Clinging to the trash can seemed like the only thing she could do. At the sound of his question, her fingers tensed uncontrollably. She forced a casual response. "Maybe it's just a cold. No big deal." "Answer me!" His voice turned sharp, sending a jolt through Madeline, and she murmured almost without thinking. "This afternoon, when you were… I'm just feeling a bit of chest tightness, weak limbs, and a touch of nausea. Typical cold symptoms." She did not bring up the hospital visit, quickly labeling it a cold to avoid any wild guesses. The timing and the symptoms lined up perfectly. 'So, it's because we caught a cold at the same time?' Trevon wondered. Madeline finally let go of her resistance. She deliberately avoided the divorce papers on the table and fetched the sour orange she had bought earlier from the fridge. Her mouth was unbearably uncomfortable, and she craved the relief of something sour. After all, she would need some strength in her hand to sign those papers. The moment she took out the sour orange, its tangy scent filled the room. Catching a glimpse of Trevon standing to the side, watching her with a frown, she hesitated before offering, "Want one?" Trevon looked away, clearly uninterested. Madeline chuckled awkwardly. "Sorry, it slipped my mind. You're not into sour stuff." However, as she sliced into the vibrant sour orange and its juicy interior burst with a potent tangy aroma, Trevon seemed unable to look away. Madeline was about to take a bite when she noticed Trevon approaching. His towering presence felt like a wall closing in, making the kitchen feel smaller by the second. Instinctively, Madeline stepped back. "If you don't like it, then I'll just..." Before she could finish, Trevon was at the sink, lathering up with soap, washing his hands with deliberate care three times before reaching for a piece of the sour orange. He scrunched his forehead, eyeing the orange for a long moment before popping it into his mouth. Madeline's jaw dropped in astonishment. However, Trevon did not spit it out. He chewed thoughtfully and swallowed before looking at her seriously. "Next time, make sure the knife's washed three times, okay?" The urge to bite into that tangy orange slice was irresistible. Sure enough, the sour kick seemed to soothe his queasy stomach. It was not just some bug. His nausea had kicked in right after Madeline's, as if he was only sick because she was. What was up with that? Trevon made a mental note to get to the bottom of it. Madeline gave a simple "Oh" in response. They finished the orange together, a moment of closeness they had not felt in three years. After washing her hands, Madeline looked up at Trevon. Sharing that sour fruit seemed to have bridged the gap between them, if only a little. However, their journey together was nearing its end. She murmured, "I'll sign the divorce papers." It was like cashing out after three years. A million and five hundred thousand, and a house to her name. She was coming out ahead. When she was about to sign, Trevon snatched the papers away. "We'll add another house to the deal. Wait for the lawyer's final draft." Madeline nodded, still in a daze. Suddenly, Trevon's phone buzzed and Lydia's whiny voice came through as he picked up the call. "Trevon, when are you coming? I'm bored." Madeline gripped her pen so hard her thumb whitened, nearly snapping it. Trevon ended the call, grabbed his jacket, and headed for the door. Madeline stepped forward, her voice tinged with concern. "How am I supposed to explain this to Grandma?" "We'll talk when I'm back," Trevon replied before the door slammed shut behind him. The house, once filled with life, echoed with emptiness. Madeline chuckled at herself, shook off the silence, and went to the kitchen to whip up some noodles. After all, she had to think about the little one growing inside her. A knock at the door interrupted her thoughts. Expecting Trevon, who might have forgotten something, she swung the door open only to be greeted by unwelcome faces. Madeline's warmth vanished. "What are you two doing here?" Cilix Sanders, her father, smiled and said, "You weren't picking up, so your mom and I thought we'd drop by." Her phone did show a string of missed calls. Ignoring their calls was nothing new, but their sudden visit was unexpected. "My mom's lost her mind, locked up in Sunshine Psychiatric Hospital. Did you forget to visit her, or did you forget she's there?" Skylar Lowe, Madeline's stepmother, stood beside Cilix in her flawless outfit. She looked nothing like someone who had toiled in the fields. However, her sharp and calculative eyes matched her biting tone. "Such disrespect! Where are your manners?" Madeline was furious. If she truly lacked manners, Skylar would have been long gone. It was Skylar's appearance, after all, that had tipped her mother over the edge. However, Madeline had been biding her time, collecting proof. They would all pay, eventually. Pushing down the bile, she asked coolly, "So, what brings you here?" "Let's talk inside," was all they said. Once they were in, Madeline poured water into two glasses, her hands steady as stone. Madeline's calm and compliant facade only fueled Skylar's ego. With an arrogant head tilt, she announced, "Your sister's back in town. It's time you end things with Trevon and give up your title as Mrs. Gibson to her!" Madeline fought the impulse to douse Skylar with water as she gripped the kettle firmly. "Give it up? I'm not following you." Madeline's gaze shifted to Cilix. "You told me when Trevon was in that coma, the company was strapped for cash. Marrying Trevon was the only way to afford my mom's medical bills. I married into the Gibson family for the sake of the Sanders family. How did Lydia end up taking my place as the daughter-in-law of the Gibson family?" Chapter 3 "I was looking out for the Sanders family too," Cilix said as he sipped his water. "The Sanders-Gibson family alliance is crucial. Three years by Trevon's side, and what? No kids, no hold on his heart, no benefits for the Sanders family. Now that Lydia's back, along with her bond with Trevon, these issues will vanish. I can even afford better care for your mother." Cilix's duplicity struck Madeline once more. Madeline countered, "Did you forget why Lydia left the country? Or do you think the Gibsons have forgotten too?" "That's why we're asking you to initiate the divorce with Trevon," Cilix replied. Madeline saw right through their plot. She would step aside, letting Lydia take the lead, and the Sanders family would reap all the rewards. After a tense silence, Madeline broke the ice. "I'm willing to divorce Trevon, but on one condition. I want my mom's shares—the ones she's entitled to." Cilix instantly became furious. Once upon a time, the Sanders family was a picture of unity. Cilix, who came from nothing, married Bella Ziegler—Madeline's mother—and quickly turned his fortune around with a garment factory. However, Bella paid a steep price, severing ties with her own family. It was not until Skylar—previously 'Jolene', with her kids in tow—showed up that Bella realized the magnitude of her mistake. She battled depression for years, and the strain of the revelation only deepened her illness. That was when Cilix dropped the divorce bomb. He played the bankruptcy card during the split, claiming all assets were tied up. Bella was left with scraps. However, once the divorce papers were signed, Cilix's business miraculously bounced back. Ever the opportunist, Cilix kept footing Bella's medical bills, basking in the glow of his newfound reputation. Madeline only pieced it all together as she grew up—her mother had been played. She had been nursing a plan to set things right ever since. The meeting ended with frosty treatment all around. Madeline shut the door behind them, collapsed onto the couch, and lost herself in the darkness outside the window. … Dawn's light crept into the room. Madeline shielded her eyes and took a moment to adjust before getting up reluctantly. Nausea washed over her in an unforgiving wave. Trevon had not come home all night. Madeline's emotions were a mess—resignation laced with a hint of disappointment. However, above all, there was relief. It was as if her decision to let go the day before had freed her from hope. Madeline sank back into the pillows. The click of the electronic lock signaled an arrival at the door. Madeline glanced up, and there was Lydia, swathed in designer elegance, striding in with a smile that could light up the room. "Madeline, it's been ages." Rising slowly, Madeline perched on the edge of the couch, her eyes a storm of loathing. "Who said you could come in? Leave!" Lydia's smile only grew. "Trevon sent me, of course. He spent last night at the hospital with me, then dashed off to work at dawn. He asked me to pick up a suit for him." A shadow crossed Madeline's face. So, Trevon was with Lydia last night. She had waited like a fool on that couch all night long, clinging to his promise. 'We'll talk when I get back.' "You're just like your mother, always the homewrecker," Madeline spat. Lydia's laughter rang out. "Who's the real homewrecker? It's the unloved one. Even the lock's code is my birthday. Trevon's heart is still with me. Madeline, you've been using my birthday to open this door for the past three years. That must sting, doesn't it?" Madeline's eyes flickered, her grip tightening on the blanket. She inhaled sharply before smiling mockingly. "Is technology that archaic where you come from? We've moved on to facial recognition, or fingerprints at the very least. Key codes are a thing of the past." Lydia's smile faltered, her composure slipping for a split second. "Outdated or not, Trevon's word is law." Madeline could not be bothered with petty squabble. Her nausea was getting worse. She gestured toward Trevon's bedroom. "His stuff's in there. Help yourself." With a smug grin, Lydia disappeared into the room and emerged moments later, a bundle of clothes in her arms. Before she took off, she sauntered over to Madeline, flashed her hand, and there it was—a dazzling diamond ring. There was also that cutesy pink bandage on her finger. "My mom says you're dragging your feet on the divorce—kinda funny, don't you think? Trevon's put a ring on it, so why embarrass yourself? Time to get a clue." She leaned in, whispering to Madeline, "Face it, you've never been able to outdo me in anything since we were kids." Old memories came rushing back. Her favorite things, her mentors, her dad, her very home—Lydia had snatched them all away with just a few words. Madeline squinted and swiftly yanked the bandage off Lydia's hand. "You've always been into taking my stuff, huh?" She eyed Lydia's pristine hand and tossed the bandage into the bin with a look of disgust. "Bandages are disposable. Get a new one, and it's as good as ever. However, you know what's really scary about a guy who's been down the aisle twice?" Madeline rose to her feet, locking eyes with Lydia as she smiled slyly. "It's the lingering lessons from his ex. His style, habits, tastes, thoughts—they're all tinged with the ghost of the woman before you. Chew on that. Good luck." "Madeline!" Ignoring her, Madeline grabbed a bag of clothes and thrust it into Lydia's arms. "So long, no need for goodbyes!" Behind the wheel on her way to work, Lydia smacked the steering wheel, Madeline's parting shot replaying in her head. The phone buzzed. Lydia answered with a huff. "What's up with the wake-up call?" Wren Naylor, Lydia's assistant, hesitated before speaking up with caution. "Ms. Sanders, the planning team wants to add an illustrator to the project. They've already picked someone out." "They've what now? Since when does planning get to call the shots on art hires? They really need to stay in their lane." Wren stayed quiet. Lydia bit back her frustration. "Alright, I'm heading to the office soon. I'll sort it out with them." Instead of going to her department when she arrived at the office, Lydia went to the top floor to drop off some clothes for Trevon. Trevon accepted the clothes, but his brow creased in confusion. Lydia felt a twinge of worry. "Something wrong with the clothes?" They were definitely not his usual brand. Madeline would not slip up like that. "Madeline wasn't there when you picked these up?" Realizing the brand mismatch, Lydia understood her mistake. Madeline's earlier words echoed in her head. Lydia bit her lip, looking hurt. "Madeline just handed me these and shooed me out when I arrived. You know she's never been fond of me." She sighed resignedly and continued, "Typical Madeline, knowing you're in a rush and still acting petty with me. Should I run to the store and grab you a new set?" Trevon cut her off. "Don't bother. You've got work to do." Lydia clammed up, stepping back into silence. Trevon let out a quiet sigh. "Don't sweat it. It's not your fault. Clothes are the least of our worries. We've got the Skylandia project to focus on." In just a week, Skylandia would unveil its magical realms to eager eyes, with artistry at its heart. Lydia, fresh from her hiatus, was steering that ship—the crown jewel of the year for Xystos Tech. She knew the drill, but duty called, and she stepped out with a promise to return for lunch. Madeline, alone then, rinsed a handful of cherry tomatoes, trying to quell the unease bubbling inside her. She scrolled through her phone, the barrage of prenatal check-ups looming large and daunting. Midway through her meticulous note-taking, the doorbell chimed. She opened the door to find Simon pulling a long face. Chapter 4 "Mr. Gibson sent me some clothes." Madeline raised an eyebrow. "Again?" Simon's eyes flickered with annoyance as he asked, "Why'd you send Mrs. Yagle's clothes?" Simon referred to Trevon's mom, Riley Yagle—a woman whose kindness was only matched by her absentmindedness. Madeline recalled the ill-fitting, off-brand clothes that Trevon probably ditched without a second thought. "Mr. Gibson says, 'Don't get snippy and hold things up,'" Simon relayed with a hint of sternness. Madeline could not help but chuckle, amused by his blind trust. "Lydia told Trevon I picked out the clothes?" Did Trevon need to believe everything Lydia said? Simon rushed her along. Madeline handed him a fresh set of clothes, but her grip lingered as she responded steadily. "Simon, you've been Trevon's right-hand man for what, three, four years now? Do you realize why you're still at the bottom rung, just an assistant? You're good at sizing people up by their titles, but that's not really a skill an assistant needs. Why don't you take a page from Mr. Harris's book?" Trevon did have a star assistant—Daniel Harris—who was so capable that he was sent overseas to handle big deals. That was when Simon got the call to step in. Simon's face went through a mixture of pale and flushed as he absorbed her criticism. Madeline, who was usually quiet, had just thrown shade in his face. He bit back his retort, finally huffing in annoyance and storming off. Madeline let out a soft laugh, brushing off the encounter. With visiting hours ticking closer, Madeline headed to Sunshine Psychiatric Hospital to see Bella. It was more of a wellness retreat than a hospital, nestled right next to Redenbaugh City's fanciest private clinic. Getting in was not easy, but thanks to the Gibson family pulling strings, Bella got a spot. Madeline wheeled her mom out into the courtyard, catching her up on the week's gossip and happenings. Bella was her usual self—unresponsive and staring off into space. Madeline sighed and took her mom's hand, resting it gently on her belly. "Mom, right here, there's a little one on the way. Even with Trevon talking about divorce, I'm keeping this baby. You've got to come back to us. Who will help me with this little one if you don't?" She nestled against Bella's legs, craving the comfort of her mother's presence. Unseen by Madeline, Bella's eyes flickered—a brief, almost missed flutter. "Madeline?" A voice, laced with surprise, called out for her. Madeline looked up to see a man in a lab coat looking her way. The sun was blinding, and Madeline squinted without recognizing the figure before her. There was something oddly familiar about the silhouette. It was not until he was close that she could see it was Caleb Jabs, her old college friend. With a warm smile, Caleb teased, "Madeline, can't you recognize an old friend after just three years?" He opened his arms for a hug, like nothing had changed. Madeline hesitated, then offered a hand for a handshake instead. Caleb's smile faltered, then returned. "Right, we're not on campus anymore." He shook her hand before releasing it, stealing a glance at the wedding ring on her finger. Through their chat, Madeline learned that he had just returned from overseas and that his uncle was running the local private hospital. Caleb nodded toward Bella with a slight smile. "And who is this?" Madeline's smile vanished. "My mom. She's been like this since she had a breakdown three years ago." A breakdown? It looked serious, as if she had lost all touch with the world. What could have caused it? Caleb pushed down his questions, his heart aching for Madeline. "These past three years must've been tough on you." Madeline seemed more grounded than in her college days, but her eyes were shadowed with concern. Madeline shook her head. "It's time for us to head back." She was not one to bare her soul to just anyone. As she rose to leave, she wobbled slightly. Caleb reached out to steady her. "You're looking a bit pale. Maybe you should get checked out." Madeline steadied herself and took a step back. "It's just low blood sugar. I'm fine." Caleb watched Madeline sidestep with a calm smile, not the least bit ruffled. "Back in college, you were always dealing with low blood sugar. Still battling that, huh? Skipped breakfast today?" He was already taking the wheelchair's handles as he spoke, and Madeline allowed it. They got Bella settled and swapped numbers. Then, Caleb pressed a chocolate bar into her hand. "For your sugar levels, have a bite." Madeline's laughter bubbled up. "Caleb, you still keep chocolate on you after all this time?" "Just a habit," he said with a chuckle. That little piece of chocolate seemed to bridge the gap that had grown between them. "How about lunch? It's already noon." Madeline bit her lip, uncertain. However, Caleb was already tugging her along. "There's this great little place I know nearby. You'll love it." Trevon managed to swing by the hospital after his meeting wrapped up. The doctors gave him a clean bill of health. They suggested bringing Madeline in, thinking she might be the key to why he felt off. He left the hospital with that thought, only to see Madeline and Caleb, all smiles, heading into a cozy diner. Madeline's smile was something new, something he had never seen, and it stopped him in his tracks. He took a moment before climbing into his car. From the driver's seat, Simon caught Trevon in the mirror. "Mr. Gibson, wasn't that Mrs. Gibson? Should we pick her up?" Trevon watched them disappear into the diner, a place he would never dream of entering. "No, let's not," he murmured. Simon arched an eyebrow, shot a look of faint scorn at the diner, and sped off. Trevon was reclining in the back seat, eyes closed, soaking in a moment of peace. A few minutes in, a wave of relief washed over him, leaving him feeling surprisingly refreshed. It took him a moment to realize that he was embodying Madeline's happiness. What could possibly be so special about that little shop to make her that cheerful? However, that sour beef and cabbage soup with noodles they served was exceptional—tangy and invigorating. It had been days since Madeline had enjoyed a meal so thoroughly. She even decided to get an extra serving to go. Caleb chuckled. "Noodles never taste as good reheated. Wait, didn't you love spicy food? What's with the switch?" Madeline smiled. "I haven't really switched. This is just that good." She was known for her love of spicy dishes, and even Trevon, the health nut, had found his tastes swayed by her. It was hard to argue with Madeline's culinary magic. Her cooking was irresistible to most. Back home, Madeline had barely set down her takeout when her phone rang. It was Yeneth Collins, her best friend. "Madeline, I've got some good and bad news." Feeling a bit worn out, Madeline sank into the couch. "Go on." "The good news is that you've been chosen to draw the new character for Skylandia. They've sent the contract over to you already." A spark of excitement flickered across Madeline's face as she reached for her laptop to check her email. "And the bad news?" Yeneth sighed heavily. "Lydia is the new art director for Skylandia. She just got the job today. I wouldn't have pushed you to take this gig if I'd known." Since marrying Trevon right after college, Madeline had not returned to the workforce, finding solace and passion in her art. Her style was distinctive, not exactly mainstream, with a focus on creating captivating illustrations. When Yeneth got involved with Skylandia, she thought Madeline's artwork was a perfect fit and put her name forward. Madeline smiled. "No way. The contract's terms are decent. Can't miss an opportunity of making money just because of her." She was always hustling for cash, especially with Bella's medical bills piling up. It meant biting her tongue whenever the Sanders family got tight-fisted. "Are you sure you're okay with this?" "Totally. I freelance under the name 'Lily Mora'. Who will connect the dots?" Their conversation was interrupted by the sound of a door swinging open as Trevon walked in. Chapter 5 Madeline's instinct was to snap her laptop shut. "Give me a second." She quickly ended the call and turned to face Trevon. "What's got you home at this hour?" Trevon eyed her hurried movements and washed his hands before replying, "Just needed to pick something up." Madeline responded with a noncommittal hum. His gaze landed on a nearby takeaway box. It was the sour beef and cabbage soup with noodles. It looked just like the one she had had for lunch. Was it really that tasty? A jolt of panic hit Madeline, and she blurted out, "It's for Yeneth, not me." Back when they were newlyweds, Madeline had grabbed some street sausages, and Trevon had gone into a tailspin, bombarding her with articles about the filth of street vendors and the dangers of eating out. Since then, she had avoided eating street food around him. However, she had slipped up and forgotten to stash the evidence. Trevon's chuckle was detached as his eyes drifted to a notebook on the table. Madeline's heart was pounding, and she pushed aside the wave of nausea to dash toward the notebook—her secret journal of conceive appointments. The last thing she wanted was for Trevon to find out she was expecting. However, Trevon was quicker. He stretched out his arm and lifted the notebook from Madeline's reach. Without regard for her protests, he calmly flipped it open. The 'Prenatal Appointment Schedule' header stared back at him. He raised an eyebrow, his cool gaze landing on Madeline. Madeline felt her heart jump into her throat. "Is this for Yeneth, too?" Trevon asked. "Huh?" Caught off guard, Madeline quickly nodded. "Yeah, yeah. Yeneth's getting married, thinking about having kids, so I was helping her research." Trevon's suspicion did not wane. "So, why the panic?" Madeline's forehead creased. She let go of the notebook and looked away. "I didn't want you to think I was up to something." Madeline's beauty was marred by her recent illness. Her pale face was then tinged with the flush of sickness, making her look even more vulnerable. Trevon felt a twinge in his chest, and his annoyance grew. Her cold was messing with his work. He tossed the notebook back to Madeline. "I don't have time for this. You should be resting, not running around. If you show up to a divorce proceeding looking like this, people will think I'm the bad guy." Madeline silently clutched the notebook with her head bowed. … At the steakhouse, Lydia stared at her barely touched steak, her mood souring by the minute. When she heard Trevon returned to the Angelic Garden Residence, her annoyance turned to outright anger. "Madeline, that witch!" She whipped out her phone and dialed Skylar's number. Madeline had just reviewed the casting call from Skylandia, wrapped up her draft, and was stretching after a long day when Skylar's call came through. "Get over here tonight. If you don't show up, I'm tossing your mom's stuff." The line went dead. Madeline thought she had taken care of all Bella's things, so what could possibly be left at the Sanders' place? She could not risk it, so she hailed a cab and headed over. The Sanders' mansion was ablaze with lights, screaming new money from every gilded corner. Madeline stood at the entrance, taking in the garish display, and figured Skylar was behind it. Skylar greeted her with a grin, tugging her inside. "I just knew you'd come." Madeline jerked her hand away. "Cut the act, Skylar. There's no one else here. I did what you asked, so where's my mom's stuff?" Chapter 6 Before Skylar could answer, a sharp snap echoed from the side. "Madeline, watch how you talk to my mom!" It was Yale Sanders, Lydia's little brother. With his shoulder-length purple hair and arms sleeved in tattoos, he looked every bit the wannabe gangster. He had been coddled by Skylar all his life, and with the Sanders' wealth, he had gathered a gang of street toughs to back him up. Madeline did not expect him to be there but gave him a cool look and brushed him off. Just then, Cilix descended the stairs, his voice cutting through the air. "Yale!" Yale sulked, his lips puckered as he flopped onto the sofa, clearly annoyed. Cilix motioned for Madeline to take a seat at the dining table. "It's not every day we get your sister back home. I figured a family dinner was in order. Have a seat, will you? I had Mom whip up your favorite fish tacos." Skylar quickly dished some out for her. The oily sheen and the subtle fishy scent made Madeline wrinkle her nose and push the plate away. "I caught a cold and lost my appetite. I'm just here to grab a few things, and I'll be out." Cilix squinted, and Skylar, unable to contain herself, plopped down next to Madeline. "When are you planning on divorcing Trevon, huh? Your dad and I have already scoped out a new guy for you. He's ready to tie the knot and won't wait forever." A resigned feeling washed over Madeline. With a mocking smile, she murmured, "Really? Who's this wonderful match?" Skylar perked up and replied, "He's from a solid family. One of your dad's business partners. The guy owns a string of factories. Marry him, and you'll be the boss. They wouldn't even look twice at a divorcee if it wasn't for your dad's connections." She made it sound like a fairy tale. Madeline cut to the chase. "The owner of these factories? How old?" Skylar hesitated, then chuckled. "Not too old. He's just a bit over forty and in the prime of his life. It'll be your second marriage, so you can't afford to be choosy. Plus, they've promised to cut your dad a deal if you marry in. Consider it a tribute to your mom." Three years had passed, and Madeline's disdain for her family's ways was as strong as ever. She glared at Cilix. "Over forty? You're okay with this, being not much older yourself?" Cilix looked pained as he spoke, "Skylar's just trying to do what's best for you. Remarrying and bringing your mom into the mix, finding someone okay with that wasn't easy. Skylar really went out of her way for you." Skylar nodded earnestly. It had indeed been a challenge. Madeline needed to be married off and kept far away to avoid causing Lydia any more headaches. "Don't worry, the guy doesn't have kids. Everything in the future will be yours and your children's. It's a real stroke of luck." Madeline suddenly chimed in, "It's true. These kinds of terms are hard to come by. You've really outdone yourself, but…" Breaking from her usual composure, Madeline locked eyes with Cilix. "I was clear yesterday. I just want what my mom is entitled to—her shares. Those shares are peanuts compared to being Mrs. Gibson of the Gibson family." Cilix remained expressionless, but his eyes were calculative. "Your mom's shares?" Thinking she had swayed Cilix, Skylar piped up in a shrill tone. "What shares does her mother have? The Sanders family fortune is all thanks to me and Cilix. It's got nothing to do with your loony mom." Madeline's glare whipped towards Skylar, sharp enough to shut her up. "Apologize." "Why should I? Your mom's the crazy one." Without warning, a cup of scalding water splashed across Skylar's face, and she let out a scream. However, before Madeline could react, she was yanked back forcefully. A second later, she was punched in the face. "You owe her an apology!" Chapter 7 Each word Yale spat was accompanied by a punch landing on Madeline. Madeline shielded herself with her purse, narrowly avoiding a serious injury. Blinded by anger, she had not thought things through, never imagining Yale would actually hit her. Conceived had left her weak, and she could only dodge Yale's vicious blows in a clumsy dance of desperation. The Sanders family seemed petrified by the spectacle, each too scared to even twitch. Cilix wanted to speak, but Skylar cut him off. "What's Yale got, a little muscle? Let her take a hit. It might teach her to listen." Cilix's face darkened as he sat back down. She had written her dad off long ago, but the sting of disappointment was as sharp as ever. As Yale moved in again, Madeline knew she was on her own. With a swift kick, she toppled a chair and snatched a fruit knife from the table, aiming it straight at him. "One more step, and I swear I'll stab you!" Yale, thrown off by the chair, nearly slipped. He wiped his mouth and sneered. "You think you've got the guts?" Knife in hand, Madeline's face was ghostly, but her eyes blazed with defiance, "Try me. I'm still Mrs. Gibson of the Gibson family. If I take you down, they'll make sure it never sees the light of day." Her gaze flicked to Cilix. "You think our dad's got the spine to cross the Gibsons for you?" Yale did not budge. Skylar stepped forward with a nervous chuckle. "Come on, we're family. Knives? Really? Madeline, put it down." Madeline looked at Skylar icily and aimed the knife at her. "Stay back." Skylar froze, then looked pleadingly at Cilix. Cilix broke the silence. "Madeline, what's going on?" Madeline stood there with a cold expression, ignoring the blood that had started to drip from the corner of her mouth. She bit her lip, refusing to say a word. The recent scuffle had taken a toll on her, leaving her with a heavy feeling in her chest. She was afraid she would throw up if she opened her mouth. However, she was determined not to let them see her weakness. Amid the tense moment, the nanny burst in with unexpected joy. "Mr. Gibson and Ms. Sanders have arrived!" The pair entered the room. Trevon's face was a mask of seriousness, his lips pressed into a thin line. Lydia, catching sight of the knife in Madeline's grip, let out a sharp cry. "Madeline! Why are you holding a knife? What are you planning to do?" Cilix rose swiftly to welcome Trevon. "Mr. Gibson, please come in. Let's sit and talk. Madeline, put that knife down now." With a glance at Trevon, Madeline reluctantly set the knife aside. Skylar exhaled in relief and grumbled, "This is all Madeline's doing, causing a scene for no reason. Since when do we bring knives into family disputes?" Madeline inhaled deeply, pushing down the wave of nausea, and retorted with a frosty laugh. "So, now it's all my fault, just like that? I'm trying to do the right thing here, and I'm still the one to blame?" "Is this enough for you?" Trevon's voice, frosty and laced with anger, cut through the room. He had been feeling sick to his stomach the whole way there. That sensation had become all too familiar in the last couple of days, and he did not need to guess—it was Madeline's doing again. He had warned her just at lunchtime to take it easy, but what did she do? She ran off to her family's home to pick a fight, knife in hand. She might not be bothered by it, but he was fed up. The room fell silent. Madeline looked at him in disbelief. Was he really going to blame her without even asking why? Trevon had no interest in dragging out the conversation. He grabbed Madeline's hand and led her away with urgency. Madeline stumbled as he pulled her along, a sharp pain throbbing in her heart. Lydia tried to keep up, her voice tinged with concern. "Trevon, you haven't eaten yet." He barely paused, his voice dismissive. "Some other time." With that, he ushered Madeline into the car and shut the door behind her. | LEARN_MORE | https://beokn.com/market/buenovela/3?lpid=10922&ut | Random Reading | https://www.facebook.com/61560831098071/ | 21 | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Learn More | 0 | beokn.com | DCO | https://beokn.com/market/buenovela/3?lpid=10922&utm_campaign={{campaign.name}}&utm_content={{campaign.id}}&adset_name={{adset.name}}&adset_id={{adset.id}}&ad_id={{ad.id}}&ad_name={{ad.name}} | 1969-12-31 18:00 | https://scontent-iad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/449688956_1121940968889821_4588828897944407849_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=YDkpCTZfFxsQ7kNvgGIRu6a&_nc_zt=14&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.xx&_nc_gid=AQZYLH1HukGC0U4hdLmrQcy&oh=00_AYA8TwyMbZ6LhGWZXDLJW5Rq3zrtLwVNpltPuR2HwqRWKg&oe=673B16BB | PERSON_PROFILE | 0 | 0 | 0 | Random Reading | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Continuer la lecture | Après trois ans de mariage, son mari rentrait rarement à la maison. Le seul moment d'intimité partagé était pour complaire aux aînés. Le jour de l'accouchement difficile, il est parti à l'étranger en avion privé avec sa maîtresse. Dévastée, elle a décidé de divorcer! ===== Joelle Miller a consulté le compte Twitter de Rebecca Lloyd, étudiant chaque vidéo avec une attention particulière, était impatiente de voir le visage du petit ami de Rebecca. Rebecca, la fille des clips, dégageait une aura douce et délicate dans sa simple robe blanche. Elle n'était pas très belle, mais elle dégageait une simplicité saine et son sourire était vraiment charmant. Elle a découvert que pendant les jours cruciaux, la veille de Noël, la Saint-Valentin et même l'anniversaire de Joelle, Rebecca était avec Adrian Miller, le soi-disant mari de Joelle, qui avait disparu de tous les événements importants au cours des trois dernières années. Les récits joyeux de Rebecca et les bribes de sa vie avec son petit ami suffisaient parfaitement à plonger Joelle dans la morosité. « Est-ce que tu vois ça? Il garde la tranche de pastèque la plus juteuse rien que pour moi. » « Même en rentrant tard, il n'oublie jamais de m'apporter un petit quelque chose. » « Et regarde ça, quelle surprise!Il est allé chercher un porte-bonheur pour moi à l'église. » ...... Le nom d'utilisateur du compte était « Compte à Rebours à la Mort », le seul compte que Joelle suivait. Au moment où elle allait réfléchir à ce nom inquiétant, la porte de la salle de bains s'est ouverte. Dans la pièce faiblement éclairée, Adrian est apparu. Des gouttes d'eau coulaient de ses cheveux. Malgré la lumière tamisée, ses traits frappants n'étaient pas altérés. Joelle a instinctivement éteint son téléphone et l'a regardé, perdue dans ses pensées. Cela faisait une éternité qu'elle n'avait pas vu Adrian. Ce soir, il était là bien malgré lui. Sa grand-mère, Irene Miller, était malade et cherchait désespérément un arrière-petit-enfant, ce qui obligeait le jeune homme à revenir. Sans cela, il ne serait peut-être jamais revenu. Au cours de leurs trois années de mariage, Adrian rentrait rarement à la maison et passait le plus clair de son temps dans les Villas d'Oak. Il était de notoriété publique qu'il n'aimait pas Joelle. Elle se sentait prise au piège d'un mariage qui n'existait que de nom. « Je te donne une seule chance. Que tu tombes e**einte ou non est entre les mains du destin », a déclaré Adrian, sa voix résonnante et profonde. Qu'insinuait-il? Avant que Joelle ne puisse réfléchir davantage, Adrian lui a saisi la cheville et l'a tirée vers lui. Joelle a pâli face à sa cruauté, son corps s'étant crispé sous l'effet de la peur. « Adrian!Arrête, je ne veux pas... » Ses paroles ont été interrompues par ses propres luttes frénétiques. Se retrouver dans une telle situation avec l'homme qu'elle aimait la remplissait d'humiliation et de terreur. Le rictus d'Adrian a traversé l'air. « Tu as osé me d*oguer une fois, tu aurais dû voir venir ce jour. Tu n'as qu'à l'endurer. » À ses mots durs, les yeux de Joelle se sont remplis de larmes, ses cils s'agitant comme des papillons blessés. Elle a levé les yeux vers son visage sévère, la voix tremblante. « Les choses ne sont pas ce que vous pensez...» Sa protestation a été interrompue. Sa résistance s'affaiblissant tandis que le désespoir prenait le dessus. Elle est restée allongée, souhaitant oublier tout ce qui se passait. « Tu as appris qu'il est bien plus intéressant de jouer les durs à cuire que de rester allongé comme un poisson mort », a-t-il éructé, la voix teintée de méchanceté. Après sa douche, il est parti sans un regard en arrière. Avant et après, Il prenait des douches rituelles comme si elle était une tache sur sa conscience. Joelle avait du mal à comprendre le rôle qu'elle jouait dans la vie d'Adrian. Était-elle un simple jouet pour? Ou un outil satisfaire les attentes de sa famille en matière d'héritier? La fenêtre était grandement ouverte, laissant entrer un vent froid et mordant. Joelle a frissonné, resserrant la couverture autour d'elle. Ce n'était pas seulement le froid qui la faisait trembler. Elle avait l'impression que son cœur avait été déchiré, qu'un vent glacial s'était engouffré dans sa plaie ouverte. L'homme qu'elle aimait tant depuis près de huit ans lui était désormais étranger. Trois ans plus tôt, lors d'un somptueux banquet organisé par la famille Miller, Joelle avait trop bu. À son réveil, elle s'était avec Adrian. Avant qu'elle n'ait pu reprendre ses esprits, son frère et plusieurs membres de la famille Miller avaient fait irruption. Ce qui avait été fait était irréversible. La grand-mère d'Adrian avait pris les rênes et avait arrangé leur mariage. Pendant tout ce temps, Adrian était persuadé que Joelle le piéger. Joelle avait déjà été déconcertée par la profonde animosité d'Adrian, même s'il croyait qu'elle l'avait d**gué. Après tout, ils avaient tous les deux grandi ensemble. Mais à présent, elle a compris. Aux yeux d'Adrian, elle n'était rien d'autre que l'infâme femme qui avait saboté sa relation avec Rebecca. Elle se surprenait souvent à penser à un Adrian qui semblait parfait dans les vidéos de Rebecca, toujours si doux et attentif. Elle s'est rendu compte qu'il ne lui montrerait probablement jamais la même tendresse. Finalement, Joelle a succombé à une crise de sanglots. Cette nuit-là, son sommeil a été agité et perturbé. Dans les dernières heures, elle se surprenait à rêver de l'époque où Adrian et elle n'étaient pas en conflit. Réveillée par son sommeil agité, Joelle s'est levée inhabituellement tôt. Après s'être rafraîchie, elle a enfilé une tenue décontractée et s'est rendue au rez-de-chaussée. Leah Jenkins, la femme de chambre de longue date, a remarqué la descente de Joelle et s'est empressée de mettre la table pour le petit-déjeuner, connaissant toutes ses préférences alimentaires. Joelle a pris son temps, mangeant lentement et de manière délibérée. « Mme Miller, pourquoi n'avez-vous pas convaincu M. Miller de rester la nuit dernière? Ce n'est pas souvent qu'il rentre à la maison », a commenté Leah, son ton reflétant la sympathie qu'elle éprouvait à l'égard de Joelle. Leah était au service de la famille Miller depuis de nombreuses années, et avait vu Joelle et Adrian passer du statut d'amis d'enfance à celui d'ennemis. Une pointe de gêne a brièvement traversé les traits de Joelle pour ensuite être masquée par un sourire serein. « J'ai essayé, mais il a refusé », a-t-elle répondu. Il avait le cœur ailleurs. Ses sentiments se portaient sur les Villas d'Oak, où vivait celle qu'il chérissait vraiment. Leah a hésité avant de reprendre la parole, le ton prudent. « C'est peut-être parce que M. Miller est très impliqué dans l'entreprise. La gestion d'une entreprise aussi importante lui prend beaucoup de temps. » Après avoir été réaffectée aux soins de Joelle trois ans plus tôt, Leah en était venue à comprendre les nuances de ce mariage mieux que quiconque. Sa perspicacité s'accompagnait d'une sympathie sincère pour Joelle. Les cils de la jeune femme frémissaient pendant qu'elle grignotait sa tartine, ses yeux larmoyant légèrement sous le coup de l'émotion. Oui, Adrian était très occupé, mais il prenait toujours le temps de s'occuper de Rebecca. Il fréquentait la Cathédrale du Salut pour lui demander un charme de bénédiction. Malgré son emploi du temps chargé, il ne ratait jamais les vacances avec elle. À ce moment-là, le téléphone de Joelle a rompu le silence. Alors que Leah quittait la salle à manger, Joelle a décroché l'appel de sa meilleure amie, Katherine Nash. « Katherine, je veux divorcer », a dit Joelle d'une voix rauque. Chapitre 2 Être désormais condamnée définitivement Joelle a pris la décision de divorcer. Il n'y avait aucune raison de faire traîner les choses plus longtemps. Après un moment de silence stupéfait, Katherine a éclaté d'un rire strident. « Tu vas avoir la moitié des biens d'Adrian? Oh, mon Dieu!Joelle, tu vas devenir milliardaire!» « Je ne peux pas. » En effet, Joelle avait signé un accord lorsqu'elle et Adrian s'étaient mariés. S'ils divorçaient, elle n'aurait rien. « Alors pourquoi tu veux divorcer, bon sang? Continue à être sa femme!» Joelle se souvenait de la rudesse d'Adrian la nuit précédente et de l'humiliation qui s'en était suivie. Par le passé, elle avait été si naïve, croyant que son amour pour Adrian pouvait l'aider à supporter n'importe quelle épreuve. Mais aujourd'hui, en regardant en arrière, elle s'est rendu compte à quel point elle avait été stupide. Adrian l'aimait-il davantage à cause de la souffrance? La réponse était tout simplement non. Un homme qui l'aimait vraiment ne l'aurait jamais laissée souffrir. Joelle s'est moquée d'elle-même et a changé de sujet. « Au fait, tu te souviens du service que je t'ai demandé la dernière fois? » « Oui. J'allais t'en parler. Tu m'as demandé d'être à l'affût d'un emploi, et j'ai quelque chose pour toi. Tu apprendras à jouer du violon à un élève, mais je dois dire que ce sera un gaspillage de ton talent. » « Ce n'est pas grave », a répondu Joelle avec un léger sourire. « Ce n'est pas du tout un gâchis. J'ai été femme au foyer pendant trois ans. Il suffit que quelqu'un veuille bien m'embaucher. » « En quoi ce n'est pas un gâchis? Tu étais si près de faire partie d'un orchestre international. Si tu ne t'étais pas mariée... », s'est interrompue Katherine, se sentant indignée pour son amie. Après son mariage, Joelle n'avait même plus le droit de travailler. Ces familles riches s'accrochaient à des règles aussi désuètes. Toute cette situation était ridicule. Trois ans plus tôt, la carrière de violoniste de Joelle était en plein essor. Cependant, les traditions strictes de la famille Miller lui interdisaient de jouer en public. Le premier jour de son mariage, la mère d'Adrian lui avait bien dit : « Tu n'as pas besoin de travailler. Adrian subviendra à tes besoins. Ton travail consistera à donner naissance à ses enfants et à prendre soin de ton mari. » Après son appel avec Katherine, Joelle est montée à l'étage et a récupéré son violon, longtemps négligé, dans le bureau. C'était un cadeau spécial de son père pour son dix-huitième anniversaire. Tragiquement, peu de temps après l'avoir reçu, son père avait été victime d'une attaque cérébrale et était tombé dans le coma. Son frère aîné s'était chargé de subvenir aux besoins de la famille. Il l'avait laissée poursuivre son rêve de jouer du violon sans s'inquiéter. Tout en se remémorant le passé, Joelle a tiré l'archet sur les cordes. Des années en arrière, un accident l'avait blessée au poignet et elle n'avait plus joué depuis ce temps. Aujourd'hui, alors qu'elle jouait, une douleur aiguë lui a traversé le poignet, mais elle a persisté. Elle s'est appuyée sur sa mémoire musculaire pour jouer un court morceau. À la fin, elle a éclaté d'un rire amer. Le son était terrible. Juste à ce moment-là, elle a entendu la voix de Leah à la porte, remplie de surprise et de joie. « Monsieur, vous êtes rentré!» Leah était intérieurement contente de voir Adrian. Son retour à la maison devait signifier qu'il tenait toujours à Joelle. Si Joelle lui disait quelque chose de gentil, leur relation pourrait peut-être s'améliorer. Pendant ce temps, Joelle était surprise. Adrian rentrait rarement à la maison dans la journée. Elle venait de poser son violon lorsque la porte s'est ouverte. Adrian se tenait dans l'embrasure de la porte, sa grande taille imposante. Les sourcils froncés, il l'a regardée. Il se souvenait que Joelle avait appris à jouer du violon lorsqu'elle était enfant et qu'elle avait été félicitée pour son talent par un professeur renommé. Mais pour une raison ou une autre, elle avait cessé de jouer. Ayant écouté de l'extérieur tout à l'heure, il avait trouvé son jeu médiocre. Comment pourrait-on avoir loué son talent? Joelle lui a jeté un coup d'œil et a baissé la tête pour replacer le violon dans son étui. Elle a alors demandé à voix basse : « Qu'est-ce qui t'amène ici? Tu as besoin de quelque chose? » « Je suis venu chercher quelque chose et te rappeler que nous devons rendre visite à grand-mère demain », a répondu Adrian d'un ton froid. Rendre visite à sa grand-mère au moins une fois par mois était une obligation familiale. Demain, c'était ce jour-là. Sans cette obligation, Adrian ne serait pas du tout revenu. Si Joelle et lui ne se présentaient pas ensemble, Irene serait contrariée. Joelle a souri avec amertume. Elle se souvenait des principes de la famille Miller mieux qu'Adrian et les avait toujours respectés. Même Irene, toujours aussi stricte, ne pouvait pas lui reprocher quoi que ce soit. « Je n'ai pas oublié. Je suis soulagée de savoir que tu ne l'as pas oublié non plus », a répondu Joelle. Il y avait dans son ton une pointe d'accusation qui faisait ricaner Adrian. L'espace d'un instant, il a ressenti une colère qui couvait en lui. Sans un mot de plus, il s'est dirigé directement vers la garde-robe pour y chercher quelque chose. Même s'il ne rentrait que rarement à la maison, Joelle entretenait méticuleusement sa garde-robe, avec des vêtements lavés, repassés et bien rangés. Joelle avait l'impression que son rôle se réduisait aux tâches ménagères, ce que Leah pouvait également faire. Son seul avantage, peut-être, était qu'elle était plus jeune et plus jolie que Leah. Ses yeux ont suivi les mouvements d'Adrian. L'annulaire de celui-ci était nu ; il n'y avait pas d'alliance. Une vive douleur lui a traversé le cœur. « Adrian, divorçons », a dit soudain Joelle, la voix aussi douce qu'une brise. Prononcer ces mots l'a vidée de toutes ses forces, mais elle a senti un étrange soulagement l'envahir. Adrian s'est retourné et l'a regardée avec un sourire moqueur. « Réfléchis bien avant de parler. La famille Watson est désormais condamnée définitivement. Sans mon soutien, comptes-tu dormir dans la rue avec ton frère après le divorce? » Depuis la chute de la famille Watson, Joelle était passée du statut de fille choyée à celui de Mme Miller ridiculisée. La famille Miller la détestait et la considérait comme si elle et son frère étaient des sangsues dont ils ne pouvaient se débarrasser. Même ses moments d'intimité avec Adrian lui donnaient l'impression d'être dégradée. Joelle s'est mordu la lèvre et s'est redressée. « J'ai déjà loué un appartement. Même si je finissais par dormir dans la rue, ce serait de ma faute. » Tout ce qu'elle voulait, c'était qu'Adrian la respecte, mais trois ans de captivité avaient usé sa fierté et sa dignité. « Et où as-tu trouvé l'argent pour louer un appartement? Si tu voulais tant être indépendante, tu n'aurais pas dû dépenser un seul centime de la famille Miller. » Adrian, dos à Joelle, a retrouvé l'alliance perdue dans un interstice et l'a tenue dans sa paume. Joelle n'a rien remarqué. Les paroles qu'il prononçait la laissaient de marbre. Oui, elle avait dépensé ses maigres économies pour louer l'appartement. Mais depuis qu'elle était mariée à Adrien, ce qui était à elle n'était-il pas aussi à lui? De plus, le soutien financier qu'Adrian avait apporté à la famille Watson au fil des ans représentait une somme importante. Joelle avait toujours détesté l'idée de devoir quoi que ce soit à Adrian, mais sa dette envers lui était la plus importante. S'ils divorçaient, il cesserait probablement tout soutien financier à la famille Watson. Voulait-il dire qu'elle devrait quitter le mariage les mains vides? Alors qu'Adrian se retournait pour partir, Joelle l'a interpellé, sa dignité à peine intacte. « Je suis légalement habilitée à contracter ce mariage et j'ai un droit légitime sur ce qui est censé m'appartenir. Mais ne t'inquiète pas, je ne te demanderai pas grand-chose, juste ce qu'il faut pour aider le Groupe Watson à traverser cette crise. » Adrian s'est figé, ses traits s'étant affinés. Ses lèvres se sont plissées en une fine ligne et sa mâchoire s'est serrée. C'étaient des signes évidents de sa colère naissante. Même si Joelle s'était mentalement préparée, elle n'avait pas pu résister à l'intensité de sa rage. Chaque instant passé sous le regard sévère du jeune homme intensifiait son angoisse. À ce moment-là, le téléphone d'Adrian a sonné. Il l'a sorti de sa poche et a commencé à s'éloigner. « Adrian!» Chapitre 3 Je ferai toujours bonne figure La frustration d'Adrian crépitait comme de l'électricité statique dans l'air. « Si ton frère a besoin d'argent, dis-lui d'aller directement au Groupe Miller. » « Ce n'est pas de ça qu'il s'agit!», a rétorqué Joelle. Il ne l'a pas comprise du tout. Joelle l'a poursuivi à toute allure, le cœur battant d'urgence. « Adrian, je veux divorcer!» À ces mots, Adrian s'est arrêté et a tourné la tête ; le téléphone qu'il tenait à la main s'est tu lui aussi. Du haut de son un mètre quatre-vingt-dix, Adrian dominait pysiquement Joelle. Il avait un regard froid et lorsqu'il a parlé, sa voix était empreinte de moquerie. « Joelle, tu ne peux pas trouver un meilleur jeu que ces incessantes discussions? Si tu veux vraiment divorcer, pourquoi ne pas le dire toi-même à grand-mère? Sinon, que je n'entende plus jamais ce mot de ta bouche!» La porte s'est refermée derrière lui, le bruit de la fin résonnant. Joelle s'est adossée au mur, ses jambes se dérobant sous elle jusqu'à ce qu'elle glisse sur le sol. Un rire amer s'est échappé de ses lèvres. Leur mariage avait été arrangé par Irene. Adrian y avait été forcé, et Joelle le savait très bien. Si elle voulait vraiment divorcer, elle savait que parler à Irene serait la solution la plus efficace. Mais une petite partie stupide d'elle-même s'était agrippée à l'espoir qu'Adrian et elle formaient un vrai couple. Elle avait donc abordé le sujet avec lui en premier car elle le considérait comme son mari. Mais elle avait oublié un détail crucial ; Adrian n'avait jamais voulu se marier avec elle. Son refus avait été manifeste dès le début, même si elle avait essayé de l'ignorer. Les derniers mots qu'il lui avait adressés n'étaient pas seulement dédaigneux, mais c'était un ordre. Si elle était sérieuse, elle devait affronter Irene elle-même. Ainsi, après avoir pris une douche, Joelle s'est habillée de vêtements neufs et s'est préparée à rendre visite à Irene. Irene était une femme stricte, autoritaire et crainte par toute la famille. Elle régnait d'une main de fer et la désobéissance n'était pas tolérée. Mais Joelle partageait un lien unique avec elle. Si Joelle avait accepté d'épouser Adrian, c'était en partie pour répondre aux attentes d'Irene. Elle avait voulu s'occuper d'Adrian, construire un foyer et faire en sorte qu'Irene puisse mourir sans regret. Mais à présent, elle ne pouvait plus tenir plus longtemps. Regarder Adrian prodiguer son attention à une autre femme emplissait Joelle d'une vague d'amertume qui menaçait de la consumer. Elle savait bien qu'Adrian ne l'aimait pas. Il ne l'avait jamais aimée et ne l'aimerait jamais ! Alors qu'elle était sur le point de partir, son téléphone a sonné. C'était son frère, Shawn Watson, qui l'appelait. « Shawn? Qu'est-ce qu'il y a? » « Mme Miller!» C'était l'assistant de Shawn, avec une voix paniquée, quelque chose que Joelle n'avait jamais entendu auparavant. Elle a frissonné et a serré le téléphone plus fort alors qu'elle se tenait au bas de l'escalier. « Où est Shawn? Que lui est-il arrivé? » « Hier soir, M. Watson a assisté à une réunion d'affaires au cours de laquelle on l'a poussé à b*ire trop. Il était censé rentrer chez lui, mais Erick Lloyd a insisté pour l'emmener dans une station thermale. » Joelle s'est figée, la fureur déferlant. « Erick ne savait pas que cela pouvait le tuer? » « Erick est un véritable poison!Il a toujours cherché à se faire remarquer depuis que son père et son frère sont devenus les chauffeurs de la famille Miller. Mme Miller, vous devez venir rapidement!M. Watson est toujours au bloc opératoire, et les médecins ont émis deux avis d'état critique. Je n'ai pas pu tenir plus longtemps avant de vous appeler!» Sa voix s'est brisée alors qu'il était au bord des larmes. Joelle savait qu'il ne l'appellerait pas si la situation n'était pas vraiment désespérée. Shawn l'avait toujours protégée des mauvaises nouvelles, peu importe les circonstances. Si son assistant était à ce point ébranlé, la vie de Shawn était sans doute au bord de l'abîme. Joelle avait l'impression que le monde se refermait sur elle, sa voix s'étranglant dans sa gorge. Elle a manqué la dernière marche et a fait une chute brutale, sa cheville se tordant brusquement. La douleur fulgurante l'a ramenée à la réalité, et les larmes lui sont montées aux yeux. « Oh non!Mme Miller, comment avez-vous pu ne pas faire attention à ce que vous faisiez? » Leah s'est précipitée et a aidé Joelle à se relever. Joelle s'est agrippée au bras de Leah, sa vision étant brouillée par les larmes. Elle a essayé de parler, mais les mots sont sortis étouffés et brisés entre les sanglots. « Mon frère... Je dois le voir à l'hôpital!» Sentant l'urgence dans sa voix, Leah n'a pas hésité. « Très bien, ne vous inquiétez pas. Je vais demander au chauffeur de vous y emmener tout de suite!» Leah était une femme de ménage expérimentée et fiable qui travaillait pour la famille Miller depuis des années. En moins de cinq minutes, la voiture est arrivée devant la villa. Alors que Joelle s'apprêtait à monter dans la voiture, elle s'est tournée vers Leah. « S'il te plaît, n'en parle pas à Irene. Je ne veux pas l'inquiéter. » Le cœur de Leah s'est adouci aux paroles de la jeune femme. Même dans son état pâle et baigné de larmes, Joelle pensait au bien-être d'Irene. Quelle fille rare et remarquable ! « Ne vous inquiétez pas, Mme Miller. Je sais ce qu'il faut faire. Allez voir votre frère. » Lorsque Joelle est arrivée à l'hôpital, Shawn venait tout juste d'être sorti du bloc opératoire. Voyant Shawn branché à des tubes et des fils, l'assistant s'est presque effondré sur le sol. En s'approchant, Joelle l'a trouvé agenouillé contre le mur en train de prier, les yeux injectés de sang et creux. Elle s'est abstenue de lui reprocher de ne pas avoir mieux protégé Shawn. Ils auraient le temps d'en reparler plus tard. Une fois l'état de Shawn stabilisé, Joelle a tiré son assistant à part. « Raconte-moi tout ce qui s'est passé. » L'assistant a hésité, les traits tirés par l'inquiétude. « Mme Miller, M. Watson nous a demandé de ne pas vous impliquer dans les affaires. » « C'est une question de vie ou de mort. Penses-tu encore que me laisser dans l'ignorance est une option? » La patience de Joelle a craqué, et elle s'est retournée pour s'éloigner. « Mme Miller, c'est inutile. » La voix de l'assistant était lourde de désespoir. « Depuis le décès de votre père, le Groupe Watson repose entièrement sur les épaules de M. Watson. Il s'est battu pour maintenir la dignité de la famille afin que votre vie au sein de la famille Miller soit plus facile. » Pendant trois ans, Shawn s'est battu vaillamment pour maintenir la famille à flot. Sans le soutien financier d'Adrian, leurs efforts se seraient effondrés depuis longtemps. Le souhait le plus profond de Shawn était que Joelle vive confortablement, mais malgré ses efforts acharnés, il n'a jamais pu lui faire gagner le respect qu'elle méritait de la part de son mari. Peu importe les sacrifices de Shawn, Joelle était toujours méprisée dans la famille Miller. Joelle était furieuse, mais elle savait qu'elle ne pouvait pas changer sa réalité. Prenant une profonde inspiration, elle a demandé : « As-tu parlé de ma relation avec Adrian? » Elle espérait que le fait d'être alignée sur la famille Miller aiderait Shawn à tenir bon. « M. Watson refuse d'en parler. Il a peur que cela ne rende les choses plus difficiles pour vous. » Joelle a laissé échapper un rire amer. Depuis le début, elle n'avait jamais pu se tenir sur un pied d'égalité avec Adrian. Il n'était pas étonnant qu'il la méprise, car elle avait du mal à se supporter elle-même. Une heure auparavant, elle était déterminée à demander le divorce. À présent, elle s'accrochait au nom d'Adrian, désespérée de rendre la vie plus facile à Shawn. « Dis à Shawn que je suis la femme d'Adrian Miller, celle qu'Irene a sélectionnée. Tant que je serai Mme Miller, je ferai bonne figure dans la famille Miller!» Des pas ont résonné derrière elle. Joelle s'est retournée et a croisé le regard froid d'Adrian. À ses côtés se tenait une jeune fille à l'allure frêle, aux grands yeux innocents, qui s'accrochait ouvertement à Adrian. Le regard de celui-ci sur Joelle était empli d'un froid dédain, comme si le simple fait de reconnaître sa présence était un effort. Il avait vu clair dans son jeu ; Joelle ne voulait pas vraiment divorcer. La femme qui avait parlé si résolument de quitter la maison se tenait maintenant là, exhibant fièrement son titre de Mme Miller. Sa menace de divorcer n'était rien d'autre qu'un stratagème, comme une querelle d'amoureux qui se terminait par des menaces vides de sens. Cette femme rusée l'avait d**gué pour qu'il devienne son mari. Avec des tactiques aussi trompeuses, comment pouvait-elle facilement se défaire de cette union? Ce même mariage servait de bouée de sauvetage à sa famille en difficulté. Il avait donné au Groupe Watson une centaine de millions chaque année. Joelle serait idiote de risquer de perdre cette somme en divorçant. Chapitre 4 Elle a fini par comprendre Joelle était depuis longtemps devenue insensible à l'indifférence frileuse d'Adrian. Elle a observé tranquillement leurs bras entrelacés, ses pensées dérivant vers les doux moments capturés dans les vidéos de Rebecca qui avaient fait beaucoup d'envieux. Quel couple parfait! Cette pensée a des picotements Joelle. « Joelle, par pitié, ne te trompe pas!» La voix de Rebecca était empreinte d'urgence et elle a rapidement retiré sa main du bras d'Adrian. « Je ne vais pas bien et je ne peux pas marcher bien loin. Adie était juste assez gentil pour me soutenir. » Joelle a réussi à esquisser un léger sourire. « Qu'est-ce qui t'amène à l'hôpital? », a-t-elle demandé à Adrian, ignorant délibérément l'explication de Rebecca. « C'est à propos d'Erick », est intervenue Rebecca, les mains jointes devant elle comme une enfant repentante. « Je suis aussi venue te présenter mes excuses, Joelle. Désolée qu'Erick ait été si imprudent et que ton frère se soit retrouvé à l'hôpital. » Joelle a rétorqué : « J'ai bien entendu imprudent? Ton frère a failli t*er le mien, et tu penses que des excuses suffisent à arranger les choses? » Rebecca a tressailli, s'agrippant instinctivement à la manche d'Adrian pour se soutenir. La voix d'Adrian était aussi froide que l'hiver lorsqu'il a finalement pris la parole. « Ça suffit, Joelle. Ce n'était pas intentionnel. » Il s'est ensuite adressé à Rebecca avec un ton plus doux. « Allons-y. Tu n'es pas là pour voir Erick? » Une vague de prise de conscience glacée a envahi Joelle. Elle avait espéré naïvement qu'Adrian était là pour prendre des nouvelles de Shawn. Mais non, il avait juste accompagné Rebecca, pour voir Erick. Même s'il s'arrêtait pour voir Shawn, ce ne serait que par obligation, et cela ne pouvait pas aller plus loin. Elle savait qu'Adrian ne la défendrait jamais. « Rebecca, je n'oublierai pas ce qu'Erick a fait!», a dit Joelle. Les jambes de Rebecca se sont dérobées et elle s'est effondrée contre la poitrine d'Adrian. Andrian l'a rattrapée juste à temps. « Joelle, Erick ne voulait pas faire de mal. Il est aussi hospitalisé!» « Il est mort? Si ce n'est pas le cas, il doit payer pour ce qu'il a fait!» Joelle s'emportait rarement, mais cette fois-ci, c'était différent. Shawn était la seule famille qui lui restait. Son père, handicapé par une attaque cérébrale, gisait dans un état végétatif avec peu ou pas d'espoir de guérison, et sa mère avait péri dans un accident de voiture. Depuis ses dix-huit ans, il n'y avait plus qu'elle et Shawn pour affronter le monde ensemble. Pendant leurs heures les plus sombres, Shawn avait porté le fardeau seul, permettant à Joelle de poursuivre sa passion pour le violon. Aujourd'hui, l'idée de le perdre était insupportable. La seule chose qu'elle souhaitait, c'était la mort d'Erick. « Joelle, comment peux-tu dire ça? », a sangloté Rebecca, la voix tremblante d'incrédulité. La patience d'Adrian a craqué, et ses yeux sont devenus froids alors qu'ils se sont fixés sur Joelle. « Qu'est-ce que tu veux? » « Shawn a reçu deux notifications d'état critique. Qu'en est-il d'Erick? » Rebecca a sursauté, s'accrochant à Adrian comme s'il était la seule chose qui l'empêchait de s'effondrer. « Joelle, je t'en prie!Il ne me reste qu'un seul frère. Aie pitié, s'il te plaît!» Elle s'est ensuite évanouie avant que Joelle ne puisse répondre, ne laissant plus de place à l'argumentation. Adrian a pris Rebecca dans ses bras, ses yeux remplis de reproches froids alors qu'il regardait Joelle une dernière fois. Il s'est alors éloigné, laissant Joelle debout, ancrée sur place, incapable de bouger ou même de penser pendant ce qui lui a semblé être une éternité. Avant leur mariage, elle avait été la fille chérie, mais après, elle s'était réduite au rôle de servante d'Adrian. Avec le recul, elle s'est rendu compte à quel point elle avait été naïve. Elle était autrefois une personne très fière, mais maintenant elle endure toutes sortes de griefs juste pour faire plaisir à son mari. C'était pitoyable ! Cela fait trois ans, il est temps de divorcer et de commencer une nouvelle vie... ...... Que se passe-t-il ensuite? Le nombre de chapitres affichés est limité.
