Madeline:\u00a0<\/p>\n
I started to walk toward the cabin again with my children. The moment I reached it, I heard Lady Eugenia speaking with Yuvonne.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy is this file in your hand?\u201d she asked her angrily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought I would deliver it myself. It would put me in Baxter\u2019s good books,\u201d Yuvonne uttered very softly, and my body stiffened in anger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou silly girl, this is not how you win his heart. This is an important matter. It needs to be done properly, and I don\u2019t think you can do it,\u201d Lady Eugenia almost yelled at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I made sure my kids were not wandering around or squeaking the floorboard under us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut all I need is for you or Lord Jonah to walk with me. Of course, I\u2019m not going alone. This place is scary,\u201d Yuvonne uttered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I heard a slap and could tell Lady Eugenia had slapped her own forehead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not about you, Yuvonne. This is about my son. Give this file to Madeline. You\u2019re traumatized anyway. You can\u2019t walk around without crying every few minutes,\u201d Lady Eugenia argued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she spoke, I walked into the cabin and saw Yuvonne\u2019s face change color.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was just saying how I would go and give it to Alpha Byron,\u201d Yuvonne said smiling, though her smile looked fake and forced.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI gave this file to you. If you didn\u2019t want to do it, you should have told me. You didn\u2019t have to waste time,\u201d Lady Eugenia remarked, snatching the file out of Yuvonne\u2019s hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, I grabbed it from Lady Eugenia\u2019s hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be no need. I\u2019ll go and do it quickly,\u201d I said, adjusting my children\u2019s bags again and walking out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This time, I did not stop for Yuvonne to come out, and she did not come out either.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By the time night arrived, I was back home with my children. I had bought them ice cream cones on the way. Thankfully, Baxter had given me some money.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment I arrived, I noticed there was a meeting going on in the cabin. Lady Eugenia was sitting right across from Baxter, as if she had sat him down for this conversation. His father was seated next to his wife, and Yuvonne was standing beside Baxter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They all went silent, and their eyes turned to me. Baxter looked a little concerned. However, Eugenia stepped forward and cleared her throat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKids, let\u2019s go to the room, okay? The adults will have a conversation now,\u201d Yuvonne stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My kids reluctantly walked away with her when I gestured for them. She also took my purse from me, as if I had to prepare for a big war now. Once she had taken my children to the room, she stepped out again to take Lady Eugenia\u2019s folded laundry to her bedroom. Then she returned and waited for the conversation to start.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is it?\u201d I asked curiously, noticing how Lady Eugenia was glaring at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before anyone could respond, she got to her feet in haste, glaring down at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy don\u2019t you tell us, huh? Why don\u2019t you tell us what is going on?\u201d she almost screamed, making my eyes widen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMother, you don\u2019t have to shout at her,\u201d Baxter snapped instantly, telling his mother to lower her voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re going to shout at me for her?\u201d she screamed at him this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not shouting at you. I\u2019m just letting you know that my children are in the room. You should not be speaking to their mother like that,\u201d he replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he defended me, my eyes landed on Yuvonne.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell then, good luck telling your children why you\u2019re going to jail,\u201d she yelled again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Baxter turned to look at me before facing his mother once more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the heck is going on? Can you please tell me, clearly?\u201d he insisted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour wife took the files from my bedroom, the important files we were supposed to return to the council, and gave them to Byron,\u201d she screamed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As those words left her mouth, I felt as if my soul had left my body.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I gulped hard and looked at Eugenia, who gave me a small nod, as a reminder that this was what she had been warning me about and that I should have listened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAsk her, ask her where she is coming back from. She went ahead and met that scumbag Byron, and ask her why. Is it because she thinks you are no longer the alpha who can give her everything?\u201d she continued to yell while Baxter pointed at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou will not be saying all these things about her,\u201d he warned her again, this time in a harsh but lower tone, afraid the kids might get scared by all the commotion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell then, ask her why she betrayed you,\u201d she pushed him to question me, and when he did not, she turned to me herself. \u201cTell him. Tell him what you did,\u201d she demanded, placing her hands on her waist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is going on, Madeline? What is she talking about? I know for a fact you are not stupid enough to just take the file and leave. So what is going on?\u201d Baxter was right. I was not stupid enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I dropped the initial act of shock and smiled at Lady Eugenia in confusion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what she is talking about. I don\u2019t know what file, what Byron,\u201d I said, watching Lady Eugenia\u2019s face turn pale and her jaw drop. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
