Madeline was pacing back and forth, her anxiety levels through the roof. “Mom, have you lost yourmind? Why on earth did you call Domingo? Now they all know where Regina is. You've just ruinedeverything. What were you thinking?”

But Imogen was beyond reasoning. Tears streaming down her face, she slapped Madeline across theface. “You scared me to death! What if he had hurt you? How could you expect me to live with that?I raised you, and you think I could just watch you walk into danger? I told you to stay away fromDomingo, but you went behind my back. And now this mess? Are you out of your mind? I justwanted us to live a peaceful life. Why can't you just

listen?"

Madeline was fuming. Ever since her mom got pregnant again, she seemed to have given up ondealing with Regina. But Madeline couldn't let it go. Regina was like a thorn in her side, a constantirritation. Without getting rid of her, Madeline felt like she couldn't

breathe.

“Don’t you know I have feelings for Nolan? But she took him from me. How do you expect me tojust stand by? There can only be one of us!”

Her words were cold, but she didn’t expect Francis to suddenly burst through the door, catchingboth women off guard.

Imogen, tears still in her eyes, was shocked. “Francis, let me explain. Madeline was jus joking...”Madeline's face fell. She didn't know how to face Francis. Her heart was heavy with gu In front ofRegina, her hatred felt justified. But Francis had always been good to her, an now, calling out for thedeath of his daughter felt unbearable.

He scoffed, “So, it turns out I've been raising a wolf in sheep's clothing. Have I treated you poorly?You know the answer. And yet, this is how you repay me? Plotting against my daughter with yourbiological father. Impressive, Madeline Tanner. No, you're Madeline Skinner. Seems like you've neverforgotten your last name. My mistake was letting the wolf into the house, only to put my owndaughter in jeopardy.”

“No! Dad, please don't say that. It's all my fault If I hadn't been so blind, Domingo wouldn't havebeen able to manipulate me like this. You have to believe me! Domingo has ulterior motives. Hewanted to get back with Mom, drive a wedge between us, hoping you'd divorce and he couldswoop in. Please, you have to believe me. I never intended for any of this to happen!”

Imogen glared at her daughter.

Madeline was indeed her mother’s daughter, throwing even Imogen under the bus to clear hername. But what she failed to see was that at this point, Francis would never believe a word she said.1/1
