“True love bears all, endures all and triumphs!” “Let me go! I don't want to talk to you.” I hissed and tried to get my arm out of his strong hold. I knew only looking into his green emerald eyes would make things worse. It would force me to recollect how he abandoned me when I needed him the most. I could still feel his breathing fanning on my face. I never believed I would meet him again after all these years. Just seeing him again opened up old wounds. “I won't, not until we talk.” He said with his jaw hard and lips pursed and I knew I wasn't going to be free from him. Madeline Collins had her whole life all planned and figured out. She was one who always made the right choices in her life but everything turned upside down for Madeline when she discovered she was pregnant - a truth that could come in the way of her future plans.

Will Madeline agree to give him a chance or has Kane already lost her love?
View MoreEverything happened in a flash. Ava was hyperventilating with her legs running towards the direction of the car before it took the next turn to the right. She ran but her legs gave up on her after running towards four city blocks. She held her knees with her hands and kept gasping for air. Her eyes were still wide and her mouth was hanging down having no idea what had just happened.“No! Oh my God! W-what do I say to Made? She's going to kill me. Oh gosh! Why did this happen? Oh my God!” Ava ran back to the store and questioned the passerbys if they jotted down the license plate of the car that kidnapped her niece. Nobody was able to provide vital details except at the car was an old Mercedes Benz. She felt dizzy and couldn't even imagine to think what Madeline would say and how she would react. She straightened up and tried to even her breathing. She cursed that nobody even dared to take a quick picture of the car before it vanished. How was she supposed to approach the police witho
Two days Ago “I was surprised by your call....Mr Whitemon?” Kane smiled ushering Beatrice to take a seat on one of the sofas at the east corner of his office. “Why so formal Beatrice. Please am offended. Kane is fine by me. We do know each other.” Kane uttered. “Do you want some tea, coffee or an orange juice?” Kane quickly added before choosing to seat down. “No. Am good. Now what's the issue? Why do you need me?” Beatrice hadn't even got her handbag and coat off of her. It seemed she didn't plan to stay long in his office. Kane knew she was upset especially how it went downhill between them. They were close to friends but it ended terribly during their last meeting. Over six years. “Firstly I want to apologize for how our last meeting ended. It wasn't good and I was mostly at fault.” Kane offered his apology while forcing out his smile. He was used to this act of pretense for over five years and now he seemed to get the better hang of it. Beatrice did look a little surprised by
“Will you tell me?” Madeline sighed and dropped her bottle to her side before staring up. She didn't want to remember old memories. Memories that hurt her deeply because she had never loved anyone as much as she loved Kane. He was like the other half of her soul. “His name is Kane. Molly's dad.” Madeline gulped and recalled her happy times with Kane. The first time they bumped into each other during their first year in university. Madeline was running late for class while joggling massive piles of books in her hands. Rushing to class and she bumped into someone with pretty emerald green eyes that locked with hers as soon as she fell to the floor. That's where it all began. She recalled his smile on her. How her heart did flutter to bump into a handsome lad on her very first day of school. A little teary and Madeline was quick to wipe her face. She sniffled before she felt Ava's hands tightly holding unto hers. “What exactly happened? Where did it all go wrong?” Ava enquired. “That's
Molly woke up around eleven in the morning. She wasn't a deep sleeper like her mother but last night made her exhausted. Ava had left for the restaurant and hour ago and it was only Madeline at home. Molly came out to meet her mother busy with some work in the living area. She was quiet and had her throat dry decided to head towards the kitchen for a cup of water. She was still very much upset with her mother for yelling at her the other day. She was halfway to the kitchen but her stomach growled which made Madeline turn to her side. “Honey, you're up?” Madeline smiled before getting up from the single sofa. “Are you hungry?” She walked towards the kitchen and was about to open the refrigerator. Not getting an answer, Madeline closed up the fridge back to now look down at Molly who had her head very low. “What's the matter sweetie?” Madeline got down to hold her and Molly raised her head to stare at her mother. “Am...sorry for not talking to you yesterday mommy. I realize that it was
Kane couldn't look away from the man by the corner and had to ask. “Who is that man Mr Gallagher?” Mr Gallagher had to turn around and a familiar smile filled his lips. “That's Abel Ronee. He's an employee of mine. A very wonderful employee at that too.” Kane smiled at the compliment and said. “Can I have his information from your work database Mr Gallagher?” Mr Gallagher furrowed his brows and even Mariana stared at Kane with a confused expression. Kane was quick to smile and not let them see something else on his face. “Believe me it's just for work issues.” Mr Gallagher smiled and nodded. “Of course Mr Whitemon. And, I believe you are going to have some of our designs from tonight's collections available in your stores?”“Certainly Mr Gallagher. My assistants will contact you by tomorrow. I don't turn down any deal that adds more zeros to my net worth.” Kane chuckled a little and even though it seemed like he would be caught out for it but his eyes kept going back to Abel once ver
Kane only moved his feet closer to the woman still on the floor when a man rushed towards the woman and yelled out her name, “Madeline!” Kane froze on the spot as that name was like a siren in his ears. He never would have heard that name in a place like this and watched that man kneeling to help the woman up. Curiosity got the better of Kane and he found himself walking closer when Mariana grabbed his arm making him turn to look at her.“Mrs Anderson and her chauffeur are coming towards us. Also, Mr Benson is waving at us.” Mariana uttered lowly while standing by his side and was quick to put her arm with his. To everyone, they looked like the ideal and perfect couple. “Mr Whitemon. A pleasure.” Kane walked ahead to share a hug with Mrs Anderson. “The pleasure is all mine Mrs Anderson. I wasn't expecting you at this fashion show. I thought you'll be chilling somewhere in the Philippines. Your husband once told me you loved the cities there.” Kane smiled and Mrs Anderson began to blu
Kane got his head off the table and had a look around. Everywhere still felt hazy and when it all cleared, he hissed and was quick to hold the side of his head. He had another look around and it took him a while to realize he dozed off by the bar counter last night. He had more drinks than he intended to and th consequences came in form of a splitting headache.He recalled last night's events. His lips thinned and he tried to pull himself together. “I don't need you. You weren't worth it at all. Am...glad you walked out of my life.” He gritted and slurred to no one but himself. Wanting to get up from the stool and it seemed his head was going to fall off.“Harley! Harley...damn!” He held his head with both hands and got himself off the stool. He passed a mirror and stared at himself. He was still in his business suit from last night and his tie was loosened like a slacker. He was more than this and wasn't meant to be drinking away just because Brenda decided to end things. His hair wa
Madeline slowly took away her hands from Abel's and looked away. Abel caught the tenseness in her and offered a smile to limit the awkwardness. “I would like it if you would talk to me Madeline. We are...friends aren't we?” And, Madeline was quick to say. "We are friends Abel. I mean you've helped me in my times of need.”“Then as friends I want you to open up with me. You know about my feelings.” Abel said and Madeline sighed again. “Let's not go into that topic Abel. I already told you am not committed for love right now.” Madeline hoped Abel would drop the subject. It wasn't a surprise to Abel that Madeline had trust issues and knew it had something to do with Molly's dad. Madeline also never told Ava about her past with Kane. “You know am willing to wait for you. It's been over four years now and am willing to continue waiting...”“No please Abel. You can't continue waiting for me. Am not thinking of love and I don't think I'll ever love again.” Madeline was moving towards the kit
The delicious aromas of white pasta accompanied with some red beef stew flew all around in the air. Every morning wonderful smells filled the entire house and today was no exception. Ava was busy in the kitchen and was responsible for the wonderful aromas seeping out from the kitchen. She had her hair in a tight bun with a hairnet on.“I want to taste it right now Aunty Ava!” A jolly six years old Molly rushed into the kitchen with her tiny legs. Ava giggled and turned to look at her but already got mortified once she stared at the clock and back to Molly. “Why aren't you fully dressed yet for school?” And, Molly giggled putting on her face of mischiefs.“Where's your mother?” Only a sigh left Ava's mouth. “She's in her room helping me with my skirt.” Molly's eyes were already centered on the hot pot above the stove and she was already drooling at the side of her mouth. Her eyes already circled around the entire kitchen hoping for a way to get her hands on that beef stew. She couldn't
