#UNEDITED
"No...No...no no..... No....no....no....no... No.....no!!!!!!!" He yelled in utter shame as he continued walking backwards.
His shoe hit a stone, and he fell on his butt, tears falling out of his eyes as he looked up to lock eyes with Adeline who was still looking so shocked.
She was about to take another step closer to him when Madden stepped in front of her.
"No going close" he told her strictly, and she nodded.
"No unnecessary contacts, I'm just gonna talk" she said, bringing an hand to Madden's face.
She caressed his jaw slowly. "Hmm? Please" she said.
Madden reluctantly moved back, getting himself a cigar which he lightened and began smoking as he rested on the car.
He saw Corey's car at a short distance, and he smirked as he stared, blowing smokes out of his nostrils and mouth aggressively at a time.
Adeline squatted in front of Corey, and he drew back on his butt, unable to look her in the eye.
"I'm not condemning you for being bis+xual. You didn't create yourself so it's none of my business if you m+sturbated for Madden or shared your... First kiss with...him" she said, and the last part obviously came out with difficulty.
Slowly, Corey looked up, and immediately their eyes met, another tear rolled down his eyes.
"What do you mean by my identity is about to be out for the whole of Russia? How did you know?" She asked, and he gulped, wiping his tears before standing.
Adeline stood too, matching his height.
"That's not important right now... The important thing here is for you to stay safe cos from now on, I won't be able to protect you" he said, and Adeline could feel bile growing in her throat.
Corey spared Madden a short glance behind her, then he tried to smile at Adeline, but he couldn't.
The fear of Madden didn't allow him to do it, so he just gently walked to his car and drove out of the zone.
Madden threw down his cigar butt and matched it down with his shoe.
Adeline kept standing at her spot, staring at him from there with her palms folded.
She wants to act bold and tough cos she has Madden.
She wants to act careless and nonchalant cos he's here with her and he'll never let her go, but what's this fear gnawing at her heart?
She can't seem to pinpoint what it means, but whatever it is... It's not a good sign.
She felt her heart slamming so fast and hard, not only because she's in love with the man in front of her, but also because she's so scared.
When she was taking too long in coming to him, Madden made the move himself, walking to her with his eyes transfixed on her eyes.
Immediately he got to her, she closed the space, drowning him in her arms... A f+çking tight hug which pushed minty fresh breath out of his nostrils.
She smiled, feeling much better as he hugged her back.
"Are you gonna cry? Maybe I'll finally get the opportunity to drink your tears" he insanely said, and she laughed, breaking the hug to hold him by the sides delicately.
He's taller by just two inches, but it's still so f+çking obvious.
Adeline stared deeply into his eyes, his lips, his pointed nose, sharp jaws and scarred chin, his neck which has one revealing vein running through it.
He's so damn perfect in every way, and it's killing her.
"Is this a new act? Staring till your eyes water?" He asked cluelessly, his voice doing it's own seduction.
"So...you had your first kiss with Corey?" She said, changing the topic.
She slid her arms on his neck this time, and he had to crane his neck for her a little bit.
"Are you jealous, Adeline?" He replied bluntly.
"Nah, that's not accepted. I'm Addie" she quickly said, and he leaned in to drop a deep but quick kiss on her lips.
"Gawd...I love you" she bursted, and she saw his lashes dropping and his brows arching at the sudden confession.
A drop of rain touched her arm as he held eyes with her, but she dared not look away.
Madden wasn't even blinking as he stared obsessively at her features...
Full eyebrows, blue eyes, fade freckles, full red lips, round face and short chin.
He suddenly found a big reason to smile, and immediately the smile appeared on his face, Adeline kissed it.
She kissed his lips... No... Her lips.
His lips is hers.
She kissed him, and the raindrops tripled, then it began raining.
It's not an heavy rain, but it got them wet within seconds.
Their lips made a quick pop when Madden broke the kiss and pulled her into the car.
He drove them out of that zone to the streets where almost everybody is walking with umbrellas cos of the rain.
He stopped the car, and Adeline looked at him.
"I know you love the rain" he said, and she smiled widely before stepping out of the car.
They're in the city square right now, so she stood in the middle, spreading her arms and allowing the rain to beat her.
Her eyes were already closed when Madden came out of the car and joined her.
He stood in front of her, staring at her closed eyes in the rain.
Suddenly, the rain isn't that bad, the rain felt like the best thing he has ever experienced.
Adeline opened her eyes and jumped into his arms, hiding her face in the crook of his neck.
"I don't know what's coming for me tomorrow, but please...I need you more than ever now" she whispered.
"I'd rather suffer in the pit of hades than let anyone from The Bratva touch you... Addie" he replied, holding her tight as her hold on him got tighter too.
"I love you so much, Madden..." She confessed again, bringing her face back to him.
"I didn't say it to hear you say it back. I said it so you'd know how I feel" she said, and he gave her a different look through his wet lashes.
She was breathless when Madden crashed his lips on hers, kissing her properly this time.
Immediately their tongues began swiping repeatedly, she knew it was gonna be a long kiss, so she held to his hair for balance.
The rain continued beating them, and as they kissed obsessively in it, a loud thunder boomed, tightening the bond of their souls.
*
ZHITNEVO*
Corey's white car looks like it paraded ghost town as he drove into the garage.
The car body is smudged with muddy water, and he was still wiping the tears in his eyes as he jumped out of the car, going into the building with rainwater dripping from him.
He didn't bother using the dry-cleaning service at the door, so he was messing up everywhere he stepped on as he went deeper inside.
The workers are still busy posting about Adeline on their servers, so no one gave him attention till he got to the main office where Gianna and several others are.
"Corey! What the f+ck! Why are you wet?" Gianna gasped with wide eyes, and the others faced him too.
Corey took a look at the systems, and when he saw the posts are almost done, he stepped back.
"Carry on" he said, leaving the room.
"Is he trying to get himself killed because of Adeline?" Gianna scoffed.
*
CLAN, 12 MIDNIGHT*
Madden ran a warm bath for Adeline immediately they got back to the manor.
She looks tired with all the happenings of today, and also... She might love the rain but she's intolerant to it, so she got the flu.
He offered to bath her, and she objected after stripping herself totally...
"I'm not sick, Madden. I can bath myself" she said.
"I'm not asking asking." He replied bluntly, sweeping her up in his arms.
He carried her into the bathroom and gave her the warmest bath ever, his hands feeling so soothing to her skin.
He removed her short wig, letting down her original golden hair.
He gave the hair a good wash too, and fingering her scalp as he did
She didn't expect herself to sleep off in the tub cos of how good his hands are, but she actually slept off.
Madden finished up and carried her out of the bathroom too.
He dried her up, wore his sweatshirt for her and lay her to bed.
He covered her up and sat beside her, caressing her lips for a while before standing.
He turned on the bed lamp, then he left the room and turned off every single AC in the manor.
Afterwards, he went to the mini digital room at the underground chamber.
Immediately he entered, the girls stood. Poe and Trixie inclusive.
Trixie came to him. "Where's my sister?" She asked in a mutter.
"She's good" he gritted his jaws, and she nodded, stepping back.
"I think we might have gotten to Nazeera's digital wall" Poe reported, bringing one of the systems to Madden.
She showed him the various lines depicting connectivity, and at the base of the log, he saw a very small plus sign.
"Right" he said grimly.
"Yes, but the thing it ... The exact location is not on our servers. Whoever their guru is, then the person is good" Poe said.
"It's solved then" Madden replied, bringing out a drive from his pocket.
He connected it to that same system, and the process loaded for a minute, then the location appeared below the plus sign.
"It's here!" Poe gasped.
"Really?" Trixie came closer to check too, and the rest of the girls stood.
"It's for real" Trixie chuckled.
"How did you do it?" Poe asked, facing Madden.
Madden tilted his head, smirking as he remembered Corey's car at the death zone.
He actually planted a tracker in his car when he was talking to Adeline.
Not killing him over there was because he still had to serve a purpose, and the purpose is here.
Poe smiled widely, and Trixie stuck hands with her
"So they're in Zhitnevo? How clever" Trixie clicked her tongue, staring at the screen.
"Hack their doors, breach the walls and smash their defenses. Y'all are busy till daybreak cos by tomorrow, I'm visiting them" Madden said.
"Yes Master!" The girls chorused, and everyone went back to their systems.
"I'll do the supervision, Poe. You can leave and come back at dawn" Trixie said, and Poe looked at Madden.
Madden gave her a slight nod, and she smiled again before leaving.
She came out of the manor through the balcony door, then she went down the stairs, leaving the mountain.
She was still smiling as she walked through the forest.
Madden might not say it directly, but she's sure she has earned his trust again, and that alone is enough for her.
She was about to enter the compound when a black bird collided into a teak tree, and the bird fell dead in front of her, the blood staining her boots.
"The hell" she muttered, jumping over it.
She entered the compound and branched at the trampoline.
Surprisingly, the rest are still there
Loud, Jinx, and Malik.
"You guys planning to drink till daybreak?" She joked, snatching Loud's bottle.
She chugged it all, and Loud smiled.
"None of us are feeling sleepy yet" Malik replied, and Poe laughed, looking at his plastered head.
"You look happy. You should make up with Jinx" Loud said.
"Am I the one who needs to do it? She slapped me, dude" Poe replied, and Jinx cleared her throat.
Malik smiled...
"Stop smiling!" She snapped.
"Wait ..what? How is my smile connected to your apology?" Malik blinked, and Jinx rolled eyes before facing Poe.
"I'm sorry" she said.
"I didn't hear that" Poe said.
"I'm sorry, bî+ch" Jinx repeated, and Poe grinned, hugging her.
"So ... Are we back now? The four of us?" Malik said.
"We were never apart, and point of correction... we're five" Loud replied.
"Of course, you'd always speak for Adeline" Poe said, and Loud smiled again.
"Anyways... I think we have a big mission tomorrow" Poe stood, inserting her hands into her jacket pockets.
"But we got no mails yet" Jinx said.
"It's a brand new mission this time" Poe winked, leaving them all in confusion.
*
DAYBREAK, IGOR'S SUITE*
Igor refused to sleep in the bedroom cos of Ksenia.
He slept in the living room couch with Sin cos Sin spent the night here too.
He refused to go back to his own suite last night since Trixie has been scarce these days, but even with Igor here with him, he couldn't sleep.
He was walking around the living room restlessly, thinking about what he did to Corey.
Now that Erik is dead, there'd be no one to save him when Corey finds him, and then there's Trixie who's completely clueless about the whole thing.
He sighed out and eventually left the living room.
He entered the balcony and surprisingly, Ksenia is there, legs mounted on each other as she read a book.
"I bet you didn't sleep a wink... You've been parading the living room what's up?" She asked, dropping her book.
"You don't look like you can solve my problems" he replied, sitting in front of her
"Try me" she shrugged, pouting slightly.
"You can confide in me... I'm becoming your sister-in-law soon anyways" she said.
"You're not really in love with my brother, are you? Igor is a p+$$y" he whispered, and she chuckled.
"I know, but he's interesting, and to me...he's a baby... He's just spoilt and insecure"
"Wow, you see through him" Sin blinked.
"So what's bothering you?" Ksenia asked.
Sin rested back on his chair before talking...
"So I did something bad to two people, and I'm feeling f+çking guilty, and...
"Take the guilt off your chest by confessing. It'll only get worse if you keep it for too long" she cut him off.
"But Trixie will hate me if she finds out" he replied.
"The hatred will be less than if she finds out herself, or if you take longer" she replied.
"Really?" Sin muttered, and almost immediately, Igor's scream alerted the two of them.
They spranged to their feet, rushing inside to see Igor staring at his phone in the living room.
Ksenia snatched the phone from him, and the news she saw made her jaws drop.
The underworld is in total chaos right now cos a picture of Adeline dressed as a girl in Colorado is everywhere, and her real identity, family house address, parents and siblings name, even the fact that she went to jail for the murder of her parents.
Every detail about is out, and the fact that Madden has been aware since long ago
The Bratva Fractions are fuming and boiling right now.
Everywhere is hot with hate!
* She's dying.
* How dare she deceive the organization?
* Get the assassins!
* I need her head!
* Adeline Wilson? The ex prisoner?
* No this is f+çking ridiculous!
* Get that bî+ch out! She should be stoned to death!
* No, acid rain fits her better.
* And Madden?
* He's getting disqualified! Igor deserves the throne!
* He deceived us too? He's a betrayal like his father. Blood runs deeper than the surface!
* If Madden won't get disqualified, then The Bratva us trash!
* Trash!!!
"F+ck... F+ck" Sin muttered in fear.
"Who's she?" Ksenia asked.
"She's... She's Madden's woman" Sin replied.
"I can't believe I didn't notice anything... She's a woman? I'm scared for her" He muttered again.
"No this is outrageous... How dare she deceive everybody! She's not the only one who needs to be stoned, Madden too" Igor said when he finally found his voice.
The commotion of cars outside made the three of them rush to the door, and when they saw how rowdy the compound has become, their mouths widened.
There are over hundred cars of important people from The Bratva, and everyone of them is out, surrounding the house of Orlovs and demanding for Adeline's head.
"This will be a long week" Ksenia muttered.
Klara is standing in front of the house of Orlovs, and as the protests and screams of the angry mob entered her ears, she got so disoriented that she almost screamed for them to stop, but that'd only aggravate things.
She should have noticed... She should have found out from the time she inhaled the purple female scent from Adeline.
Now Madden will get disqualified from the contest, and everything she toiled to gather over the years will go down the drain.
That can't happen, at all.
If anyone needs to bear the brunt of this, then it'd be Adeline.
Maya appeared with Andrei, and when the bktg saw what's going on, their eyes were wide.
Maya was immediately surrounded by the angry mob.
* Where's your damn brother!
* Bring him out here!
"He's in his manor. Y'all know the way there don't you? Are you scared to go?" She boldly replied with a degrading smile, and they almost swallowed her, but Andrei covered her quickly.
"Don't F+çking come close!" He glared, draping his arms around her.
Zoya is in front of Selesta's apartment with Selesta and the kids.
As expected, Angelika is crying when she saw the ongoing chaos all because of Adeline.
"They'll kill her...they will" she muttered.
"Of course, they will" Zoya smiled, crossing her arms.
Selesta looked at her and sighed before looking at Aleksandr who's smiling like a maniac.
It's like the ongoing chaos is making him happy.
From the trampoline, Poe and the rest are watching with lots of other mobsters.
"If anyone told me this day would come today, I'd deny" Loud sighed.
"But they dare not gi near the manor, will they?" Malik said.
"Unless they wanna die" Poe replied.
"But this isn't ending soon... The compound will soon tear with the crowd. They're much" Jinx said, and at the same time, they all got dings on their phones.
They checked it out at once, and they exchanged glances.
It's Madden, giving them updates about the mission.
For the first time, they'd be going on a morning mission, and they're going through the second hidden gate at the back of the forest.
*
MANOR*
The sound of cutleries hitting a china dish was all that could be heard in the bedroom as Adeline ate her dish of pasta and meatballs.
She's sitting between Madden's legs in bed, and he's the one holding the plate for her as she ate.
Wherever he got it from is still a mystery cos she's sure it's not from the kitchen.
Lady Selesta's meals tastes differently from this one, and also, there's no way Madden cooked for her, so she's just gonna settle for maybe Jinx or Trixie.
"It's delicious" she said with a mouthful.
"Of course it is" he replied, caressing her hair, and she chuckled as she took the water to drink.
He forbade her from touching her phone. In fact, he switched it off so she's not aware of what's going on in the compound.
"I'm full" she said.
Madden dropped the plate on the bedstand, then the cup followed.
"Thank you," she faced him, and he planted a kiss on her lips and eyes, then on the chin and her neck which made her moan slowly.
"Madd...
"You will not come out of this manor or open the door for anyone till I come back" he said, leaving the bed.
She quickly grabbed his arm.
"Where are you going?"
"To clash with Nazeera... Stay here, no outsiders" he sternly said, and she left the bed, hugging him from behind as he dressed up.
"Come back quick" she said.
He unlocked her arms from his tummy and faced her with a slight nod.
"Be good" he said, caressing her button lip with his thumb.
"I'll be good, I promise" she replied, and he gave her hair one final stroke before stepping out of the room, of the manor.
He met Poe and the rest waiting at the mountain, and Trixie was the first to step forward.
"My si...
"She's fine" he cut her off, leading them down the back of the mountain.
They all followed him behind, and five minutes after they left, Klara climbed up the mountain.
Her long white gien was flowing with the morning air till she got to the top and rang the manor alarm.
She rang close to seven times, but no reply came.
"Your sister is still alive, Adeline!" She shouted, and almost immediately, Adeline opened the door with wide eyes.
"What did you just say?"
Klara sighed, and three minutes later, they were already inside the manor together, in the living room.
"Trixie?" Adeline said, tears gathering in her eyes already.
"I didn't know till I found out your real surname. Trixie is a Wilson. Erik brought her from America when she was just three days old. I'll tell you the reason, and I'll help you and your sister escape Russia without getting caught by the mob and without wiping your memories" Klara said, and Adeline shook her head.
"No. I don't want to leave Madden. I love him I swear...I...
"Your love will do nothing but ruin his future, do you even know the density of what you did?" Klara scoffed, giving her a tab.
Adeline took it, and from the screen, she could see everything happening in the compound and the HATEUL comments on her and Madden, especially the ones saying Madden should be disqualified.
Tears ran down her eyes.
"Do you know what'd happen if he loses the Pakhan position for you? You won't be able to forgive yourself, and you'll still die cos there's no way you can stay in here forever. You'll....
"I'll leave" Adeline looked up tearfully.
"Good, and he must not hear about it" Klara said.
"But give me one more week to hug and feel him...
"You have just three days. I can only hold the mob down for three days" Klara cut her off and stood, leaving the manor.
Adeline covered her face with her palms, sobbing painfully.
*
IGOR'S SUITE*
Sin and Igor are still by the door, watching the riot which is becoming heavier by the minutes.
The mob in the compound are too much, and there's hardly any space to stand or park cars now
Even the front of the gate is full... First time in history.
This obviously won't be settled till Adeline is provided.
Ksenia is currently in the bedroom.
She watched enough of the ruckus already, so she came to take her bath since it's already 10am.
She was wrapping the towel around herself when she noticed something peeking out from under the bedstand.
It's brown like an envelope, and she frowned as she squatted.
She lifted the stand with all her energy, and she kicked out the envelope.
She was panting as she took the envelope, retying her towel before sitting in bed.
SECRET was written boldly on the envelope, and that even got her more curious.
"What's this?" She muttered.
Does this mean even Igor hasn't seen this envelope?
She opened it quickly, taking out the contents.
There's a letter among the content, and she squinted as she read...
To Igor:
I'd probably be dead if you're reading this, and my hidden son would be in charge already. You've always craved for your real mother, but isn't it amusing that I'm not even the real father of you and Sin? Nazeera birthed you, and are you curious about your birth father? Check the other papers___ERIK.
The letter ended there, and Ksenia stood with shaky hands as she checked the other paper.
That one contains pictures.
They're pictures of Sin and Igor as kids, but then there's a different one.
In that picture, Nazeera is holding them, though her face is hidden cos she's masked in the picture too.
She's holding little Igor and Sin in her arms, and their father is standing behind her.
When Ksenia saw the face of the father, she gasped shockingly, covering her mouth so she won't scream.
The father... He's Ivan!
Ivan Smirnov, the father of Madden and Maya!
"What's that in your hand?" Igor's voice suddenly said behind her, and her eyes widened.
TBC.
