Chapter 181 Happy Ending for All

However, Madeline didn’t have the strength to do as she wished right now.

The only thing she could do was spit out through gritted teeth, “Get out now! If you dare lay a finger on me, you will be my enemy forever! I will never ever forgive you!”

By now, she was absolutely certain just what Luke had fed her. This b*stard!

While she thought he was like a brother to her, he actually fed her that type of drug.

If she could move, she would fight him to the death.

However, she was in too much pain.

Her insides felt like they had been tossed into hot oil and her skin felt like it was burning. She was aching all over, yet there was a near-uncontrollable urge rising within her.

She knew just what that uncontrollable urge meant, but she would never allow something like that to happen!

Not only was she a woman, she was also the mother of two kids!

She had to protect her dignity for the sake of her children!

Her voice was so thickly laced with anger and revulsion that her words felt like knives stabbing into Luke’s heart, which made him panic. “Maddie, don’t worry,” he said. “I’m so sorry. I’ve promised my brother that I won’t do anything you do not consent to. Forgive me, please?”

Madeline forced her eyes to stay open as she warily eyed him. “You truly won’t lay a hand on me?”

“I swear!” Luke said, raising his right hand.

Everything he had done was just for him to be closer to Madeline and they could live together forever.

However, if continuing with his plan meant making her hate him and regard him as her enemy, then he would naturally not continue with the plan.

Madeline studied him and wondered whether he was speaking the truth.

The way Luke reacted didn’t make sense.

After all, he planned all of this.

He kidnapped Quincy and Joel so that she would submit to him, so that he could have his way with her.

It was all going smoothly for him and he was now only a step away from what he wanted. Would Luke really have given up?

Noticing the suspicion in Madeline’s eyes, Luke felt hurt. “When have I ever lied to you, Maddie?”

“Well, you’ve done things that are more despicable than just lying to me!” Madeline scoffed in disgust.

He pursed his lips in response. “I know, I was in the wrong. I’m apologizing, aren’t I? Forgive me, Maddie?”

Hearing that, she couldn’t help but curse him out in her mind. He was mad!

Luke was a weird man, she knew that. As his mother died when he was still a child, he grew up tormented by his stepmother. He was cold-hearted and had a twisted logic while not caring about anything other than Logan, not even his own life.

Thus, Madeline was more patient and tolerant with him, for she pitied him for his tragic childhood. Whenever he did anything wrong, she would always be able to find an excuse for him. With the kind of horrible upbringing he had, it was normal for him to have a twisted sense of the world. He was living a good life now. With enough time, his mental wounds would eventually heal, and he would slowly get better.

However, Madeline now felt like she had been wrong to think that.

This b*stard wasn’t simply weird. He was actually sick in the head!

He was insane!Text © owned by .

She didn’t understand him at all.

After all, he had already committed extremely immoral deeds such as kidnapping and drugging her. Why would he not commit other atrocities?

How could she trust him?

“You, get out! Get out!” She clutched at her shirt. “I don’t want to see your face. Get out now!”

The agony was too overwhelming. Who knew when she would lose her mind?

She was terrified that the drug would take over her mind, making her lose all rationality, and be so dazed that she would pounce on Luke.

All she wanted to do now was to be alone in her room and wait out the effects of the drug.

“What will happen to you once I’m gone?” Luke asked, frowning at Madeline.

She currently looked as red as a cooked lobster. Her eyes were bloodshot and her breathing came out in harsh, trembling pants. She did not look okay.

“That’s none of your business!” she roared. “Get out! Just get out!”

However, Luke merely turned and asked Liam, “Is there a cure?”

“Huh?” Liam was confused and stuttered, “Does doing that with a guy… count?”

“It doesn’t!” Luke barked in frustration. “I mean an actual cure! Medicine! Do you not understand human speech?”

Liam gulped. “Sir, you asked me to find the strongest drug…”

“I even told you to get something that won’t hurt her!” Luke was fuming.

“The drug used on Miss Maddie wouldn’t hurt her,” Liam softly said. “As long as you and Miss Maddie… Then, no harm will come to her…”

Frankly speaking, Liam would love it if Luke and Maddie were together.

After all, he was Luke’s personal bodyguard, and was always a few steps away from Luke; he knew better than anyone else just how much Luke liked Madeline.

The Adams Family was now the richest family in Capitol. Additionally, Luke didn’t just have an extremely handsome face because he was also a genius.

Luke had single-handedly started a company from scratch and turned it into a leader in the industry in just two years.

A few years ago, after Logan and Luke returned to Capitol and wrestled the Adams Family away from their stepmother’s hands, Logan took over Adams Corporation while Luke founded Microlutions Corporation.

Currently, the Adams Family was a distinguished leader in Capitol. The combined assets of Adams and Microlutions Corporations were worth so much more than what most second-degree dynasties had.

The Adams and Microlutions Corporations were considered one of the best of the best, even when compared to other companies in the nation.

Not only that, the two brothers were one of the most famous rich bachelors around, and thus many daughters of noble and wealthy families dreamed of being married to one of them.

If one had to describe Logan, he was an elegant and outstanding gentleman whose presence was as refreshing as the morning breeze.

As for Luke, he was an aloof, proud being who was just as arrogant and cunning.

To a man like Liam, Logan was the man who was more worthy of a woman’s eternal companionship.

However, the two men were equally admired in Capitol.

Liam thought it was because women prefer bad boys. The number of admirers that Logan and Luke had were almost the same.

However, Luke only ever had eyes for Madeline.

If there were to be a time when she could only be saved by sacrificing Luke’s life, Liam had no doubt that Luke would do it without any hesitation.

The deeper Luke loved Madeline, the more pain he felt when he couldn’t have her.

Finally, they were at this stage where Liam didn’t want Luke to give up. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There wouldn’t be any other chances after this!

As long as Madeline changed her mind and got together with Luke, Liam firmly believed that she would be happy just based on how deeply in love Luke was.

They were both outstanding members of their genders and childhood friends. They were perfect for each other, so why couldn’t they be together?

Getting together meant a happy ending for all!

“I don’t trust you!” Madeline snapped. “Get out! All of you, get out! “I can get through this by myself. I won’t allow any of you to touch me!”
