The Billionaire's Heiress

14 - Not Business

Madison

"Mom?" I said as I watch my mother grabbing her things, she seems to be in a hurry. 

"Madison, I need to go now" She replied. 

"Why are you in such a rush?" I asked her. She is sweating, she seems nervous. 

"It's about Eleanor, Henry said she's in hospital. I don't think it's that serious, but I need to see her." She said. Eleanor Spencer, William's mother; I hope she's alright. 

"I hope she's alright, tell her I said Hi." I told Mom.

"Alright, I'll be leaving. I love you." Mom said. 

I started to think about William, I hope he's alright. I know how it feels to have a loved one ill. I remembered the time when I heard about my Daddy getting shot. I still remember my mother's face when my Dad's partner, Larry came to our home to tell the sad news. I didn't understand it well, but Margaret made me do it.

It is still fresh in my memory, seeing my Dad lying on the hospital bed, and our mother crying beside him. 

Should I call  William? Will it be a good idea? 

I decided not to, I should not be getting attached to him again. Even if I wanted to know how he is. 

---------------------------

I did not even touch my phone for hours to stop myself from calling William. Instead, I focused on my children. I cleaned their rooms while they just get along as siblings. I also wanted to check on them, be familiar with what they like, and what they have. 

After that, I am exhausted of cleaning toys and books. Maybe now is the time to check on my phone. 

So I walked inside my room to get it, and there I saw six missed calls from Luke. 

Why did Luke called? 

Then it rings, this time it's Jeremiah. 

Me: Jeremiah, hello

Jeremiah: You need to come here quick. 

Me: What's going on? 

Jeremiah: Just come here, you need to be here. 

Me: I have the kids with me, I can't just leave them. 

Jeremiah: Can you take them with you? I think that would be better. 

Me: Jeremiah, what's happening? 

Jeremiah: I have no idea, just come here and see. 

-----------------

With Jeremiah's call, I started to feel nervous. What is this about this time? Now I have to prepare myself and three children to come in Elmyra. 

-------------------

We arrived shortly, I wore my normal work attire, black dress and heels not too high to carry a two-year old child. My boys look so good, I made sure they look good. 

"I thought we're going to the mall?" Alec said. 

"We will sweetie, right after Mommy finish something" I told him. 

I just noticed how our employees are looking at us, at me. They seemed hesitant when they saw me walking in. 

"Goo...goood morning Mrs. Newman" An employee greeted. 

It is odd then before. 

We got inside the elevator. I breathe heavily as I try to take a guess on what's going on. Is Alfred Nolan already awake and he is claiming his business now? That could be possible. 

When I reached my office, I saw Camilla waiting on me at the door. 

I didn't think about Camilla. 

"Well, you're finally here" Camilla said. 

"What's this about this time huh?" I asked her. 

"Well, I just made sure you will never have this office again." Camilla replied. 

"It's my damn office, stop messing with me!" I told her. 

"Madison!" It's Jeremiah. I gave Alana for him to carry. 

"I am not letting you in." Camilla replied. 

"Step aside, or I'll take you by myself." I told her. 

"Try" she replied. I pushed her away from my office's door. Then she fell on the ground, I finally had the chance to open my door. 

"Madison." I heard Jeremiah call me again. 

I didn't look back, and proceeded opening it. Then I stopped, I saw someone sitting on my chair. 

Oh God. Is this a dream? 

He is here, Charles is here. 

"Madison" he spoke. 

He looked at me. He can't say anything  more same as me.  

"It's my brother's office, not yours." Camilla said. 

"Daddy?" Artie said. 

"It's Daddy!" Alec yelled. 

They run to him and gave them a hug. 

Camilla entered the office. 

"Kids, can you please go out for a moment?" Camilla said. Artie and Alec left the office, and so it's just Charles, me and Camilla. 

"So now that you're here, can we just recall to my brother what actually happened? He doesn't remember a thing about the past, it's a good thing to take him back right?" Camilla said. 

"I thought you told me about everything." he spoke. 

"No, not everything. It will be fun to tell you about it in front of your WIFE" Camilla said. 

"She was your baby maker, because she looked like your ex-girlfriend who happened to be her older sister. She was there when our mother was murdered, and it is suspected that she had something to do with it. She had an affair with your close friend Alfred Nolan and became pregnant." Camilla said. 

"It's a lie! Alfred and I never had an affair." I told her. 

"I wish I can believe you." Camilla said. 

"And you know what, your death and Alfred's condition is also suspected to have something to do with her! Charles, she's a monster!" Camilla said. 

I don't know what to say. I am not a monster, I don't have anything to do with all of that. I am innocent. 

"Camilla, calm down." Charles spoke. 

"Why should I calm down? I just exposed your wife with all her lies! You should put her to jail and let her sit there and die" Camilla replied. 

"There are two sides in every story, I just can't believe what you said." Charles spoke. 

"Charles, please! You're being a fool" Camilla replied. 

"I can't just put her to jail. She's  still the mother of my children. I don't want my children to lose their mother just because of everything you said." He replied. 

"Mother of your child, just one." Camilla replied.
