My Step-Brother Boss 18+

Chapter 14: She's only mine

EDWARD

"Edward, I am going out for some time," Madison announces, coming into my office. Again? She disappeared to a café, in LA too and that letter? It was signed by someone related to her, someone Romano. So, I may or may not have inserted a tracker into her phone... 

By the tracker, I can just know where she is going... and maybe hear things around her too... It's just for her safety, though. Just for her safety

"Alright, moonlight," I respond to her, barely managing not to give her a strange look. I have no idea, what she is hiding or lying about. "Do you mind if I borrow one of your cars?" She asks as I stare at her with a confused look. She knows how to drive? "You know how to drive?" "I also have my licence," She responds. 

I barely managed to hide my surprised expression. I did not know she knew how to drive. She also has her licence. How do I not know anything about her? What the fuck? "You do?" I ask, slightly amused. She nods in response, as I smile, with a sigh. I hand her the automatic car keys, just in case. It was the best car, I had. 

"Be safe," I tell her, as she nods before leaving.

I lean back in my chair, my eyes focused on the ceiling. Madison had been acting slightly different, ever since we came back from LA. I couldn't pinpoint what it was, but it was something. Is it because she got assaulted? Is it the letter? I need her to come back since we need to have a conversation about this. 

******

"Dad," I hear Madison's voice through my phone. The tracker probably detected some words. I stop what I was doing and focus on the audio. Wait, did it just say dad? Dad... Could it be Arthur? No way, he is in India or something, right now; celebrating his 'honeymoon' 

That could only mean two things, either Madison had a secret 'dad,' I didn't know about, or... Elijah Romano--Madison's father was still fucking alive. I'm just overthinking it, there's no way he's ali- 

"There's a met gala happening on Saturday, December 2nd," The voice comes from the phone. That voice. That voice is the fucking voice of Elijah. Fuck, he is alive? how? I could recognize his voice anywhere. After all, he's the one who taught me business. When I was in high school, I was already preparing to become to CEO of E.R. corporations. Arthur and him were rather close, Elijah used to give me business tips whenever I came to his office.

He was the most clever person, I knew and a great businessman. He is fucking alive, though?

"Arthur, his son, and your mom will be there. I need you to come too since I will reveal that I'm alive there." Elijah says through the phone.  What is he talking about? Why is he talking about me, my father and Sophia? What the fuck? He is also going to fucking reveal he is alive? 

That reminds me, where has he been hiding all this time? Why hasn't he told anyone till now, he was alive? "Are you sure?" I hear Madison's angelic voice come through the phone. 

"I am sure, If they know I'm alive, they will try to kill me, or hurt me again, in the rush, they will make a mistake which can help us," 

Who is they? Who is Elijah talking about? Kill him? Hurt him? I know there was a court case on him before he 'died,' but that does not explain anything. I need answers, right now. 

I hear the rest of their conversation, pausing my thoughts to collect them at the end of their conversation. 

"Arthur and Mom are on a honeymoon right now; they should be back by that time,"

"By the way, I work for Arthur's son, Edward, right now," Madison reveals, I wonder what his reaction will be to that? He always said he waited for the day, I became the CEO.
