Right now, Wiona had no clue that the secret she had tried so hard to hide was already out in the open. She sat downstairs, face-to-face with Madison, meeting her properly for the first time since the truth about their identities had come to light.
It was kind of awkward, neither of them knowing what to say at first. Wiona finally broke the silence. “Thank you, for what you did earlier.”
She honestly hadn’t expected Madison to stick up for her.
Madison just shrugged. “It was nothing. Besides, you would have been fine without me.”
Wiona couldn’t really explain the hotel’s attitude, so she just smiled.
“I’m surprised by how you’re treating me,” she admitted. “I thought you’d hate me.”
In truth, Madison was the only one in the Morgan family who didn’t openly make things difficult for her.
Madison picked up her coffee, every movement graceful and confident. The Morgans really had taught their daughters well, and Madison seemed to have mastered all those social skills effortlessly.
Catching Wiona’s look, Madison took a sip of coffee before finally answering. “At first, I did hate you.”
“I hated you for living my life. I hated that my parents and my brother loved you the way they should have loved me. I hated that you got everything I was supposed to have. Even after you left, Mom would cry herself to sleep over you.”
“I hated that my brother left the country because of you, that Dad was always sighing. I hated that they all still cared about you, even though they pretended not to for my sake.”
Wiona felt a sharp ache in her chest. She stared down at her hands, fidgeting nervously. She tried to pick up her glass of water, but her hand was shaking too much. She set it back down and pressed her palms against her knees, trying to get herself together.
“I’m sorry,” she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper. “I truly am.”
