Chapter 1 The Birthday party
It's been seven years since he last came here, he never liked coming here to this house right here but he had to today, today is his dad's birthday and they were celebrating it, he just wish this night will pass very quickly
he alighted from his car, over the past seven years, he has been able to build a name for himself, he went far away from this country and from the family that never for once loved him or his mother
he can't even believe that he was right here right now, he really does feel like going back but he already said he was going to come and he doesn't like going back on his words, he was not like that
he was about to go inside the house before he decided to make a turn, when he was still living here, he always liked to visit the river at the back of the mansion, it always made him feel very peaceful and he wanted to visit the place again tonight before he goes inside and face those wolves he calls a family
he walked to the river it was quite a distance from the mansion but he didn't mind walking all those distance
As he got close to the river she saw someone standing by the riverside. It seems someone else has discovered this place as well, he wanted to be here all alone but that seems impossible now.
He was about to go back to the mansion when he saw something that struck him, the person was jumping into the river
"hey hey stop right there, hey hey stop" but the person did not answer him, she did not seem she was taking a swim, this person was committing suicide, what the hell is going on here
he quickly ran to the river, but before he could get there, the person was already drowning and she was not even making any effort to come out, she was not struggling at all
he pulled his jacket so that he would be able to swim well, he got into the river and swam in, the person was already going in too deep but he still managed to bring the person out
he carried her and brought her to shore when he carried her he noticed that she was a woman, not just a woman but a very beautiful woman, he wondered why a woman this beautiful would want to kill herself all of a sudden, it sounded very weird
he wondered where she came from, he quickly carried her and headed straight to the mansion
there used to be a back door at the mansion kitchen but he was not sure where it was again, it's been so long that he was here, he would have no other choice than to take her through the main entrance, this was gonna disturb the party but he didn't care at this point, life was more important
he finally carried her to the main entrance, he met the security guards at the door entrance
"do you know who she is?" he asked them
one of them recognized him in an instant, he has been working here before he left home
"master Alex, you are here?" the man said
"save me the formalities and tell me if you know the woman," he said, the guard walked up to him and take a look at her, immediately he saw her he was very shocked
"Who the hell is she?" he wanted to know who she was before he took her inside the house
"she's your brother's wife master Alex" the man said
"What!" he exclaimed as he quickly carried her into the house
immediately he got in, everyone's attention was fixed on him but he didn't care, his so-called brother was the first person to notice him, he didn't even see that he was carrying the wife, he was coming closer to him so he could mock or tease him
"oh so my baby bastard brother is here, Madeline!" he quickly reverted what he was about to say when he saw that he was carrying his wife
"what the hell are you doing carrying my wife?" he said
"I should be asking you what the hell were you doing when she was jumping into the river, where do I put her? he asked, he just wanted to save her life right now
everyone heard what he said and everywhere turned into an uproar the guests at the party were beginning to gossip and talk amongst themselves
"Why would the daughter-in-law of the most prestigious family commit suicide?" one of them said
"I wonder as well, probably she's depressed, or what do you think?" another one said
"what if she fell in by mistake and she didn't jump into it like that prodigal son said, you know how that boy can be, I've heard a lot about him"
I think you might be right" someone else said, the crowd got divided into groups and opinions started to fly in one after the other
"Follow me, mom calls the doctor" he reluctantly said
"You all should not worry, I'm sure this is all a misunderstanding. Please enjoy the party, we will take very good care of everything and I'm sure you know better than to let whatever has happened here leak out right?" Grace said and didn't even wait for an answer before leaving the hall
every one of them knew what that meant, the Carson family was not anyone could toy with or even try to gossip about, no one would dare say anything to the outside world, if not there would find the person and hunt the person down
Alex carried Madeline to the room that George showed her, he put her on the bed and quickly put his mouth into hers
"no need for that I will do it myself" George said he can't stand his wife being kissed by another man
"if you cared for her,she wouldn't have jumped into a river" he said and continued doing what he was doing without paying attention to him
