Madeline Harlow, a 20-year-old  whose life seems pretty normal, attending classes, coming back home, rushing through deadlines and whatnot except that it's not.
Madeline was the daughter of Benneton Harlow, a leading businessman in the pharmaceutical industry until someone sued him leading his company into bankruptcy.

Fortunately, he was able to pay back all his debts and rise against all odds that were thrown at him, but at what cost?

''Dad, whose marriage certificate is this, and why does it have my name on it!?'' 

Benneton sighed and calmly stated as a matter of fact, ''It's yours and Liam's.''

As if not being able to accept what she had just heard, Madeline rushed to her dad, bringing the papers closer to him, ''Why did I even sign this!? And why him!?''

The sun rays hit straight into my eyes, but today I didn't feel like waking up because Madeline was sleeping in my arms. 


My left hand had wrapped around her body while my right hand stretched to reach for my phone.


It was 6:30 A.M and we had college today.


The thought of going to college today frustrated me; we had just patched things up. If we were to go back to college today, then we would have to maintain distance again.


But my thoughts broke away in the next moment because Madeline had moved closer, snuggling against my chest.


I groaned, ''You'd be the death of me, I swear.''


I put my phone down, wrapping my other hand over her waist, 'How could someone always look so beautiful?'


Even when she was grumpy, sad, silly or even sleeping, Madeline always made sure that she tugged at my heartstrings. I slowly moved the hair away from her face so that I could admire her more.
