Chapter 1

• PROLOGUE
• "He is not here." The strange woman said to her.
• She looked round the house she had become so familiar with but now it just felt cold, blank and empty.
• "What do you mean by that.. I mean... " She started to say but the stranger raised her hands effectively cutting her off.
• "It seems you've got the wrong place, young girl. The name you just called is strange to me. I've not heard it before. You can go and ask around maybe you are lost."
• "No ma, I am not." Madison insisted. She was very sure of what she was saying.
• This was the house she'd come to call her second home.
• It was in this same brown bricked house she'd laughed, she'd cried, she'd moaned in pleasure, she'd.... She had to stop thinking about all those now.
• "Ma, sorry to disturb you but I'm very sure of what I'm saying. I'm looking for Dam..." She trailed of because the woman didn't even allow her finish.
• "Young girl. You are lost, I don't know who Damien Daniel is, or Layla or Grace or whatever other person's name you are calling. I just packed in here new, I don't know what you are saying."
• The woman just packed in here newly . She couldn't believe her ears, with the thoughts going on in her mind, she prayed that what she was thinking was not the situation here.
• "But..." She began again and the woman who was already getting annoyed as shown on her facial expression said, "No buts. I don't know who Damien Daniel is, I have not heard that name before in my life, and I was actually arranging my things and cooking. So if you'll excuse me." The woman said and without even allowing her to say anything, she banged the door loud and square on her face.
• She blinked once, twice, thrice and then she pinched herself to know if this was real. Did he leave without telling her just as he'd said, no he just couldn't.
• But the truth was staring at her right at the face. Who was she going to ask? What was she going to do? All these and more ran through Madison's mind as she fell down to the floor in tears, her heart breaking, shattering in pieces.
• This couldn't just be happening to her. She was in a huge mess, a very huge one at that, that had no solution.
• The reality of the whole situation was staring back at her now.
• She'd caused this, and now she had to pay!
