Madeline Harlow, a 20-year-old  whose life seems pretty normal, attending classes, coming back home, rushing through deadlines and whatnot except that it's not.
Madeline was the daughter of Benneton Harlow, a leading businessman in the pharmaceutical industry until someone sued him leading his company into bankruptcy.

Fortunately, he was able to pay back all his debts and rise against all odds that were thrown at him, but at what cost?

''Dad, whose marriage certificate is this, and why does it have my name on it!?'' 

Benneton sighed and calmly stated as a matter of fact, ''It's yours and Liam's.''

As if not being able to accept what she had just heard, Madeline rushed to her dad, bringing the papers closer to him, ''Why did I even sign this!? And why him!?''

I hadn't meant to come out of the room.


But something inside me told me that I wanted to see Madeline right now, I was curious about what she was doing.


So I pushed open the door and there she was right in front of my eyes.


Chewing on something, humming softly, eyes lit up like a kid who just got her favourite candy.


She was… happy. That innocent kind of happiness that I didn't see in her, which was rarely present, at least in front of my eyes.


But it wasn't just her smile that stunned me, it was the bar in her hand. My protein bar. I'd taken a bite of the one earlier and left half-wrapped to finish later. It hadn't even crossed my mind that she might mistake it as hers.
