It was never over

"Your husband is at it again." Evie voiced over the line, giggling and exaggerating her moans of pleasure. Madeline, unable to take the hurt once again pulled away from the hair stylist's warm hands and dashed out of the salon. Hugh was at it again. How could he even let Evie share that disgusting piece of information to her? He had promised to change. Hot tears escaped her eyes as she got behind the wheels and drove to their apartment mad as a hatter. It was a wild journey trying to juggle past cars with a blurred vision and a shattered heart. Maddy hoped she wouldn't die first before putting those two who were supposed to be her solace in trying times in their places."He promised..." Maddy echoed in her head, her tears choking down the words she wanted to say. Call it a superpower but she ended up reaching her apartment in a span of fifteen minutes. As she forced the front door open, She wondered if she would be able to take seeing her ex-best friend ri

"Esteban, Are you alright?" His personal assistant inquired, rushing to his side."I am fine Susan.""You are lying Esteban." Susan, his assistant rose to get him a glass of sparkling water. She filled the glass to the brim and handed it to him. Esteban welcomed the water and gulped the whole content. Seeing the color has returned to his face, She continued."...You surprise me Esteban. All the growth. How you have healed and the mention of that Mandy girl breaks down your walls. She is the girl right? The one who left you.""Okay, I will be honest. She is the one and my walls aren't broken Susan, I am just not getting why she would return so...suddenly."Esteban met Susan's intense gaze. A lump formed in his throat and he almost guessed what her next question would be."You are going to see her, Aren't you?"There was an unexplainable sadness written

1986, Messerick Running his hand through the many scars the trees held, Esteban wondered why Madeline wanted to meet up with him at such an ungodly hour. His thought was brought to a pause when a twig snapped in the group of orange trees that enclosed the fields from the world. Slightly hidden, He could make out her bright yellow dress that seemed to glow in the darkness. Esteban noticed she was taller, the dress she wore slicked back and bare

At eight, the next day, Madeline decided to go for an early morning jog when she stumbled on Esteban’s residence. Much to her surprise, A lot of things had changed. For starters, The garden was gone and there was a black iron wrought fence enclosing the house. Maddy jogged to the gates, surprised to find out they were unlocked. She swallowed, her hands clenched back as she slowly walked up to the door, admiring the black Aston Martin parked in the front porch. She knocked for a couple of minutes then waited for him to answer. As minutes passed by, She heard footsteps coming towards the door. She sucked in a generous amount of the country air just before the door creaked open. 

Maddy headed for home like a homing pigeon, hating and cursing silently at her dilemma. As much as she wanted to blame Esteban for leading her on, Maddy knew she was at a greater fault. The woman that literally slut shamed her. She remembered the infuriating brown eyes that judged her from head to toe and how the woman slid her hands into Esteban’s just to prove intimacy. A possessive one. Maddy remembered the burning urge that struck her when it happened. Never had she been tempted to split a thing in half. Liv was unfortunately awake when Maddy returned through the back door. It was a strange occurrence because Liv hardly left her bed without a little bit of probing and tough love. The girl immediately turned when she heard footsteps behind her.
