Heiress Reawakening

Madeline’s Point of View

Watching Liam and Love on the bed makes me realize just how pathetic ’ve been. I stood there emotionless, my breath caught in my throat. I couldn’t even make a noise, i cover my mouth with my hands.

My vision blurred and my hands got sweaty, I could barely stand. My world crumbled.

Before Dad had died, he had asked me to bring I’m a suitor. He couldn’t leave me all alone in the world with the burden of the company, he wanted someone by my side. Someone that would love and protect me.

I introduced him to Liam, we had just left college and we’re still trying to figure out ourselves.

Dad loved him instant. The wedding was the talk of town. The Billboards read “The Heiress Wedding”. Some even went as far as asking if he could be the right choice, for a long time I thought he was. Now I know better.

Men and women if dignitaries were in attended, Dad made sure he spared nothing.

“I can’t leave her now, she has to give me a child first” I hear Liam say as he strokes her hair. His voice cold.

I want to turn and run but I stay planted. I was done being the girl who would run and cry. The pity party Madeline. I was done with all that.

I know there’s an adage that says “An eye for an eye would only make the world go blind”, if that is all it takes to burn this two to the ground then that is what would happen.

“Do you think she can give you a child? It’s been years now. I know her dad made you sign that if you should get a divorce before that you get nothing but it’s taking too long” she whined, pouting as he kissed her lips before replying.

Love….she was supposed to be my best gr but her she was sharing a bed with my man.

I couldn’t bear to listen anymore so I turned and walked away, there was no way I would give them the satisfaction of seeing me broken.

I was going to get justice. I dial the family lawyer’s number and he picks up at the first ring.

“Hello, it’s me Madeline. I need your assistance on a legal issue, when can I come in?”

“I’ll be at the firm tomorrow, you can drop by”

“Okay, that’ll be great. I’ll see you tomorrow then”

I walked out of the house and got to the car. “Can you drive me to the movies” there’s a movie I want to see” i tell my driver putting on a smile, i didnt need him to get worried and ruin what I had in mind, I was going to deal with this my way and I was going to make sure he regrets it.

I got into the car and the emotions I was holding into came crashing down. Liam had shattered my heart and broken me into a million pieces.

I rub my belly as I stare into the night in tears. “I’ve got us”

For some days I was nauseous and feverish so I had gone out in the morning to check what was wrong so I don’t transfer what I had to my husband.

I wanted to see the emotions on his face when I tell him which I why I had held myself back from texting him even though it was very difficult.

Love had texted me when I was in the clinic to go out so we can have some girl’s time, we had fun as friends or so i thought and she asked why I had gone to the clinic.

I was about to tell her the result but I held myself back, my loving husband should know first I said to my self. I wanted to share this joy with him first.

Looking at everything now and knowing everything, i thanked God that I didn’t.

The clause Dad had left indicated that should incase there be a child, the fortunes would be split between both parents and the rest will be kept for when the child grows.

Without a child, my family’s fortune was mine and mine alone. There was no way that he would ever know about this child.

Tears stroll my eyes as tge movie played, exhausted I got up and went back to the house. Liam was on the bed when I got back, he was engrossed with his phone and smiling at it. When he noticed my presence, he dropped it and walked to me planting a kiss on my lips.

Bile rose to my throat, this was his normal thing to do. I use to love it so much but right now all I wanted to do was to throw up. I do anything but that and hold it in.

“Hi babe, I missed you. What took you so long? I was beginning to get worried”

“I went to the hospital to check my blood pressure “ I lied through my teeth “ I met up with love afterwards, it was a good day” I watch him froze at the mention of her name.

“I’ve been trying to reach her to ask her about a dress but she hasn’t been reachable, her line keeps going straight to mail”

“She’s probably exhausted, you know how she can be” he lies to my face as I watch him in anger, was i nothing but a fool to him? If he thinks he can get away with this then he has something else coming.

I plaster a smile on my face as I play the judicious wife, he would get what was coming for him, payback’s a bitch.
