"Madisyn, I need to know!" Joey's voice trembled with urgency, her eyes searching Madisyn's for answers. "You don't deserve to know!" Madisyn shot back, her voice cracking as tears welled up in her eyes. "Not after you broke up with me!" Her words dissolved into sobs, her chest heaving with the weight of her emotions. "Please," Joey's voice softened, filled with desperation. "Just tell me… is the kid you're pregnant with mine or is it my brother's?" --- Madisyn had always envisioned a simple, colorful life. She dreamed of nurturing her children with love and being a devoted mother, building the family she had always longed for. After years of falling for the wrong men, she thought she had finally found the perfect one, the man who would complete her picture of happiness. But she had made a grave mistake. In her eagerness for love, she had handed over her heart too quickly, trusting too easily. It was a mistake that would cost her dearly when he abandoned her at the altar, leaving her humiliated on what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. As if that betrayal wasn’t enough, she soon uncovered the bitter truth: his love had never been real. He had faked every tender word, every promise of forever. But fate has a way of balancing the scales. Madisyn knew that revenge was a dish best served cold, and what could be more satisfying than turning to the one person her ex hated most? His own brother. Dating his brother wasn't just about moving on; it was about reclaiming her power. It was about showing him that she could rise from the ashes he left behind and find love in the most unexpected place—right under his nose.
The first question Vanessa asked Madisyn was about a car in the last chapter of the manual. Madisyn rolled her eyes in disbelief.
"How am I supposed to know that? I only studied the first 20 pages!" she protested, gesturing with exasperation.
Vanessa didn't seem too bothered by Madisyn's response and moved on. Fortunately for Madisyn, the rest of the questions were directly from the sections she had studied, and the interrogation went much smoother from there. After the questions, Vanessa took her time explaining how to list different car models, and went into an elaborate breakdown of horsepower, engine functions, and other technical aspects of the vehicles.
It was a lot to take in, but Madisyn nodded along, trying to absorb the information as best as she could. Finally, after what felt like hours, Vanessa glanced at her watch and said, "Alright, you can take your lunch break now."
