405–Surrender To Me, My Lost Love 

Graham: 

“You did an amazing job,” I told Mr. Robinson, offering him a handshake. 

“Thank you, Your Highness. I am here to serve you, and I told you would do my best,” Mr. Robinson replied, smiling at my flattery. 

I did not expect things to turn out this way. I had hoped there would be some back and forth, and that it would eventually be dismissed as a matter of conflicting stories. 

That was until Mr. Robinson began pulling out secrets. 

Kaylee helped him. She and Yuvonne had been friends briefly, and it turned out to be useful. 

“However, I do not understand why you asked me to secure Madeline’s character,” Mr. Robinson remarked. “I could have simply said that Madeline lied about everything, or that she was feeding you the cookies.” 

As soon as Mr. Robinson started to explain the alternate narrative He had considered, I shook my head. 

Last night, Kaylee told me there was a story being prepared. One where it would appear that Madeline and Yuvonne used cookies 

to control my mind, to control me and Elgin, and force us into making mistakes. I shut it down immediately. 

I requested to speak with him alone because I did not want a single stain on Madeline’s character. She already hated me. If I allowed that, she would never look at me again. 2 

Besides, I wanted to give her some hope. I wanted her to know that everything is not ruined for her. 

That way, when I become the only person she can rely on, she does so without worrying about what I might do to her reputation afterward.

“Anyway, you should take Kaylee home. I will be back shortly. I need to celebrate with Elgin,” I told Mr. Robinson, gently touching his elbow as I noticed Kaylee standing by the car, waiting. 

“Are you sure you are not going home with her?” her father asked. “It is her doctor’s appointment.” 

I rolled my eyes inwardly but remained silent for Kaylee’s sake. 

“No, Mr. Robinson,” I replied oversweetly. “I hope you can handle it today. I need to clear everything before I go home to her. But I will have dinner with her later.” 

With that, I stepped away and moved to stand beside Elgin. We waited for everyone else to leave, so that once Madeline came out, we could speak with her. 

“She was bound to get her karma,” Elgin commented, laughing at Yuvonne. “Did she really think she could do all that over the years and then redeem herself just by acting kind after marrying an Alpha?” 

We knew her history. We knew how messy she was. Thinking that everyone would believe she had changed just because she said so was almost laughable. 

“Of course she changed after getting another Alpha,” I added, shaking my head with my hands on my waist. “Otherwise, she would have kept going after Baxter and made their lives miserable. 

Thankfully, everyone came to us and apologized for ever doubting us. As they wandered off, we waited for Madeline to come out, and eventually, she did. 

She was alone. Her eyes landed on 

for a brief moment before she looked away and tried to walk past us quickly. 

I tapped the back of my hand against Elgin’s elbow, signaling for him to follow me toward her. 

“Ithou 

might think you owe us an apology for accusing us of things we did not do,” I remarked. 

She stopped in her tracks.

To Me My Lost lovg 

“I know you have a strong ego,” Elgin continued, “but we do not. So we will apologize for reacting aggressively believed you were trying to intimidate or threaten us.” 

Madeline turned around and looked at both of us. 

“You know what? I can believe that Yuvonne might have done us wrong in everything, but that night, I am not stupid Event she fed me something to make me feel that way, it is still something I would expect from both of you. So no, 1 do not anorge yo apology, and I do not owe you one either.” 

She spoke with the same attitude she always had. This time, though, her confidence carried no weight 

She was a broken mother and a fallen wife, and a gorgeous helpless woman walking alone among people who could take advantage of her, yet she did not realize she needed to change before others turned their anger on her. 

“I feel bad for you,” I said. “But more than that, I feel bad for Baxter. Now that Ron no longer holds power and Yvonne bas been stripped of hers, I wonder how Baxter’s treatment at the hospital will continue.” 

The moment I said that, realization hit Madeline. It showed clearly on her face as she swallowed hard. 

“Are you threatening me?” she asked. 

Elgin and I glanced at each other before looking back at her with small smirks. 

“Of course not,” I replied. “We are just offering help.” 

I spoke slowly, making sure she understood every word. 

“All you have to do is,” Elgin stepped to her other side and leaned doser to her ear 2 “Surrender,” he whispered. “And your husband will receive the best treatment possible.” 

He straightened and clicked his tongue. 

“Tsk tsk tsk, or he will be removed from the hospital and left to die on the road.” (3 

When he finished, the fear on Madeline’s face told me we were heading in the right direction.
