Chapter 1: A period of relax

She needed a lot of time to understand her life in the space was over and that the war finished. Madelaine finally married Kaidan, The love of her life, the man who brought the best part of her after a lot of bad choices that were almost killing her because of the insufficiency of war assets. Kaidan saved her searching everywhere, he believed from the beginning she was still alive. After the marriage they had no time to stay together because Hackett always gave her assignments even after she left the galaxy forever.

"Hackett, please, what do you want now?" Madelaine was in the kitchen with the phone in her ear

"There are journalists in all London who wants to know how you survive to the reapers' attack"

"You know that I don't get along with the journalists"

"Shepard please, you can't punch another journalist after all the three scandals with Khalisah Al-jilani. She isn't the journalist who will interview you but you can't deny to this people the chance to know the truth. You are the heroine Shepard, you can't disappoint me"

"Maybe you don't understand Hackett, I don't work for you anymore. I have another life, I have an husband who loves me, another future which is waiting for me"

"Maybe that's the problem"

"What?"

"Maybe you're too obsessed with Major Alenko beauty to know what's really important"

Hackett closed the phone letting Madelaine shocked for his last affirmation. She loved Kaidan and she was sexually attracted to him but she didn't marry him for his beauty but for his value, because she really enjoyed his company. Madelaine is now knowing the real Hackett's face, the face of a stupid man who only wants to ruin people's life with his predictions. She took all the technological tools from the galaxy, she knew they could be useful for her future work. Madelaine turned on the computer and started to delete all the emails of the people who needed her. Someone opened the door. Madelaine turned and Kaidan was in front of her smiling. She smiled too because she really wanted to see him. She run and hugged him.

"Hey, hey, what's happened?"

Madelaine untied herself from the hug. "I couldn't wait to see you"

"I know you love, you are sad for something, tell me"

She decided to talk. "Hackett wants I make an interview so all the world would know how I survived"

"And did you say no?"

"Yes, but…"

"But nothing. That life is over. You live on the earth now… with me. You worked too much and he really pretends you continue to torture yourself with all this? No. You need to relax"

Kaidan touched Madelaine's neck and she felt relaxed.

"Tell me you don't want me, tell me you don't feel the desire to have sex with me in this moment"

"I want you Kaidan, I can't resist you, you are too handsome"

Kaidan smiled. "Say it again, the last part"

"You are too…".

Madelaine didn't finish the sentence because Kaidan kissed her and she held him tight. They took off their clothes in the kitchen while they were going to the bedroom. Madelaine lowered herself to kiss Kaidan's calf, he smiled and strongly lifted her off the ground to push her on the bed. He divored her of kisses and she was excited. She wanted to stay down and enjoy Kaidan's body up to her. Maybe Hackett was right, maybe she was too obsessed with his beauty. Madelaide was on her stomach while Kaidan was massaging her.

"Are you enjoying this?" asked Kaidan

"… Yes" answered Madelaine with a relaxing tone

"See, it isn't difficult. You just needed to have a moment all for you" Kaidan massaged her shoulders passing on her back "And who better than me can give you such a pleasure?" his feet touched hers and she felt more relaxed

"No one" answered Madelaine

Kaidan whispered on her ear. "Try to not thinking bad things. Your life will be happy forever. No one will torture you". He gave her a sweet kiss on her cheek making her fall asleep.

A voice called her in that blue smoke. She searched everywhere but no one appeared.

"Shepard, I'm coming from you. I will come to persecute you in every moment of your life. In the morning, in the afternoon and in the night… In the darkest night"

"Who are you?"

"Ahahahahahahahah, I will not tell you it until I consideri t necessary"

"SHOW UP"

"Ahahahahahahahahaha".

Madelaine woke up scared. She searched Kaidan next to her but he wasn't there. She wore a white pajamas and went to do breakfast but when she opened the door of her room Jack appeared.

"Jack?"

"Hi Shepard, surprised to see me?"

"No, but…"

"But I have a few things to say"

They went out from the room and Jack started to speak. "I know you wanted to eat your delicious cereals but I have to tell you what I'm not liking about you now"

"Surprise me"

"You are a strong woman, at less, you was. Why letting a man seducing you like that?"

"Wait, you was…"

"No, no, no, I don't care about your sentimental life but Kaidan was so happy he was able to dominate you all the time that he couldn't resist to say it to all the world"

"Wait, to dominate me?"

"Yes, isn't it true?"

"I let him staying up all the time but…"

"Why?"

"Because I enjoy more to stay down, what's the problem?"

"The problem is that Kaidan is full of himself in this period and you are pleasing him"

"I don't like the fact that he tells his sexual life to everyone"

"In fact, for this reason you have to face him and say that your sexual life is private and if he doesn't want you have to left him and be concentrated about your interview"

"Wait, did Hackett send you here?"

"No, but it's really important to close this chapter of your life. Do it for your people, your crew… Yourself".
