My Heart only Beats for You

Cecilia knew she should not have asked forthat.

But ever since she found out that Natalie was not her daughter, she becobsessed with finding her biological daughter.

When she learned that her daughter had lived with that man for so many years, it worried her.

She didn't know what kind of life her daughter had been living all this time.

"Mother, I'm still searching. Please don't worry," Tobias reassured.

Cecilia nodded. In matters like these, she had no doubt about Tobias's capability. She trusted him completely.

"I'm sorry, Tobias. This is all my fault," she whispered guiltily, aware of the hurt it brought him.

The daughter that she was searching for was Tobias' half-sister which Cecilia conceived with someone else, and not Tobias' father.

"Everyone makes mistakes. You don't have to blyourself." Hearing Tobias's understanding answer, Cecilia felt a little more relieved.

She knew her son well. Although he was usually cold-hearted, he was also gracious and forgiving.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have achieved such tremendous career success at such a young age.

"By the way, are you also investigating the identities of Natalie's biological parents?" Cecilia asked again. Tobias nodded solemnly. "Yes." Cecilia gave a deep sigh. "Natalie is the one who suffered the most from this matter. She has the right to know where her biological parents are. We owe her an answer." Tobias's eyes were as clear as spring water, promising, "Mother, I'll definitely give her an answer." Then, Cecilia thought of someone else.

Madison.

When Cecilia had just arrived in Agaphen City, she had a lot of matters to take care of. Plus, she was busy taking care of Natalie at home, so she did not have tto visit Madison. It was now high tto see her.

Cecilia stared into space, her eyes flashing briefly with a vicious gaze.

The apartment door swung open creakily, breaking the silence of the cold night.

When she heard the sound of the door opening, Madison jumped in surprise. It had been ages since someone cby.

She had been locked up in here for a long time.

Ever since Tobias had captured her and locked her in here.

Although this place wasn't a prison, it felt much, much worse than that in Madison's opinion.

Madison was not given any freedom, and she was forbidden to go out. She only had herself to talk to, which drove someone like her straight up the wall. This was her very idea of hell. She dreamt each night of escaping from this rat hole and to regain her freedom ever since she was brought here.

When the door swung open, she thought that someone was finally here to set her free.

Excited, Madison let out a whoop. She rushed to the door immediately but suddenly stopped short.

The visitor standing in front of her was an old friend.

Cecilia was still as poised and elegant as always.

Madison's hands trembled a little.

Cecilia looked down at Madison from the top of the stairs, her expression repulsed and unsympathetic.

"Is it true then? That was how you treated my daughter?" Cecilia stared at Madison and hissed with evident hatred in her eyes.

In fact, Natalie was not Cecilia's biological daughter.

But Madison thought that she was. search the (Find)website on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

Cecilia had entrusted her daughter to Madison, but Madison treated her like dirt.

Madison's hands trembled even harder. Her disheveled, dirty hair scattered along her shoulders - the result of her long isolation, made her seem even more unhinged. Knees buckling, she dropped in front of Cecilia and begged, stammering. "Cecilia, it's my fault! Please spare me. It's all my fault. Can you please letout?" Cecilia gave her a cold sneer.

"You will never be set free. You've tortured Natalie for so many years, and you're going to be punished for it." That triggered Madison, and she suddenly shouted, aggrieved. "But Natalie is not your real daughter, is she?" The last tshe was summoned, she had already guessed that Natalie was not Cecilia's biological daughter. That was why she and Queenie saw Natalie and Tobias back together again.

She realized that after so many years of hatred, she had actually tormented and broke the wrong person.

Madison initially had a single shred of hope left -she still hoped that Cecilia would spare her since the person she tortured was not Cecilia's daughter.

Cecilia stared at Madison with grief in her eyes, then threatened through clenched teeth. "Do you think I'll let you go just because she's not my daughter? Indeed, she's not my daughter, but she's my son's lover. Like you, I will make sure that you get a taste of your own medicine - you will pay for making her suffer." Madison's face turned so deathly pale that it almost matched the color of the concrete. After staring blankly for a few moments, Madison's expression took on a look of realization. Then, she bawled her eyes out, as loud as a siren, weeping, and sobbing.

Watching her drowning in her own tears, Cecilia suddenly lost all interest in continuing her conversation with Madison.

She had initially planned to question Madison's motive, to drill it out of her at all cost.

But now, she was no longer in the mood to do anymore.

Whatever it was, Madison was still a culprit that did what she did. The damage had been done, and it was pointless to seek the motive.

"Rot here and reflect on whatever sins you have committed." Cecilia spat, then turned around to leave. Desperate, Madison flung to the ground, then grabbed Cecilia's leg, pleading in loud sobs, "Cecilia, can you please have mercy? I beg you, letgo!" Cecilia ripped Madison's hand away and cursed, "Such punishment is already considered a mercy for you." The last glimmer of hope disappeared in Madison's eyes without a trace, like it was never there.

Amidst her sobs, Madison suddenly started to cackle uncontrollably instead, the most miserable-sounding laughter to ever exist.

Cecilia ignored Madison and strutted out.

When the door slammed closed, Madison fell limp to the ground.

Her tear-streaked face cracked a lopsided grin. She smiled to herself like a madwoman.

Past memories and flashbacks flashed through her mind like waves.

If she hadn't met Cecilia in the past, would she be still be overwhelmed by jealousy for so many years? At the time, she was still a young woman.

Her lover was not James, but a tall and strong man.

And she loved that man very much.

However, that man never had the intention to marry her.

But she did not care as long as she was with him.

Then, Cecilia cinto their lives.

When Cecilia arrived in that small town, her beauty dazzled everyone.

However, Cecilia was already taken.

Her husband was a well-known gangster in town. He was an extremely handsfellow, but he led a dissipated life.

Life worked in mysterious ways, and Cecilia and Madison found themselves becoming good friends.

Madison had always admired Cecilia's beauty, but she was never jealous of her.

Because Cecilia was stuck with such a good-for-nothing man.

For someone as gorgeous as she was, Cecilia could have chosen any bachelor in the town, but she ended up with that troll.

No one would be jealous of her because of this, but rather they pitied her for landing such a husband.

One day, Madison discovered something.

She found out her own man would occasionally steal suggestive glances at Cecilia.

The thought alone was enough to send chills down her spine.

Later, she confronted him.

However, he defended himself, claiming Cecilia was so gorgeous that anyone would ogle at her.

Things took a worse turn when he called out Cecilia's nwhile they made love. That was Madison's last and final straw.

From that day onwards, she could no longer see Cecilia as a friend, but as competition and the bitch who stole her man's attention. Day after day, her jealousy for Cecilia grew stronger; it gnawed at her heart, almost swallowing her whole. But still, Madison comforted herself.

What was the point of being beautiful when Cecilia was stuck with such a deadbeat husband? Her life was miserable either way.

She kept thinking that, and it made her feel better, temporarily at ease.

Especially after Cecilia got pregnant, Madison secretly gloated over Cecilia's miserable fate.

Since she had gotten pregnant, that meant that she was bound to be stuck with that man for the rest of her life.

She could never escape her poor fate.

She had to live a hard life until she was dead.

Until one day, Cecilia clooking for Madison.

Cecilia told her that she couldn't stand it anymore, and that she had to leave.

Then, Cecilia told Madison everything about her past.

Madison was floored when she learned the truth about Cecilia.

She had always thought that Cecilia cfrom an ordinary background. She would never guess that she was born with a golden spoon in her mouth since day one.

What was even more shocking to Madison was that an outstanding match was waiting for gealliat return to his side. Someone decent and noble who still loved Cecilia deeply, someone Madison would never meet nor could ever have. As long as Cecilia was willing to return to him, he would take her in without hesitation.
