Loving Madeline

Madeline's POV

I felt my hands trembled as I hold the doorknob on my hand, and when I pushed the door, I saw my husband sleeping on the bed with Kaye sprawled on the bed with him, and I can see before my eyes how she snuggled her head on my husband's muscular chest. I know I should run away and never return to this place. But I want to understand why Hunter didn't sleep beside me on our bed. I almost laugh when I saw my husband's reactions when he found out someone was sleeping beside him, and I hate Kaye for kissing my husband on the lips, and I felt so glad that I stayed because I learned nothing was going on between my husband and his friend.

Hunter tried to get away from Kaye, and I could no longer restrain myself from getting inside and asked Kaye to leave my husband alone. She tried her best to seduce Hunter, but I felt glad that my husband resisted her charm. Kaye was furious with me and threatened to ruin my life. And I didn't know where I got the courage to face her, but I am no longer afraid of her now that I have become Hunter's wife.

"I am glad you came, and you didn't leave when you caught me with Kaye." He declared after we shared a hot kiss, and he pulled me closer to him, and he was giving me butterfly kissed on my neck, and he was making me hot all over again, but as much as I want to make love with my husband, this time I want to know everything. And now that I became his wife, I expect my husband to tell me about his ex-girlfriend, Rebecca, the only girl he loved.

"I am now your wife, Hunter, and I can't just walk away from you, even if I know deep in your heart I am just simply your wife, I understand that you can't love me, and I hope you will tell me the reason why you didn't sleep beside me tonight." I declared, and I can feel the racing of his heart, and he let out a heavy sighed, and he stopped kissing me, and he looked at me in the eyes.

"I am sorry, Madeline, I slept beside you, but I had a nightmare again, and I don't want to disturb you since you were sleeping soundly. That is why I transferred here in the guest room." Hunter replied.

"Can you tell me about your nightmare?" I asked, and he was surprised by my question.

"I don't want to talk about it, maybe some other time. Let us get back to our room, Maddie." He said, and he gets up from the bed, and he pulled me up by the waist. I tried my best to hide my frustration because I realized my husband is not yet ready to tell me about Rebecca. It only means one thing, he is not yet prepared to let go of her ex; he will always be in love with her, no matter how I will make him forget about her. My heart is heavy, and when we lay on our bed, I pretended to fall asleep immediately because I am upset that my husband is still in love with the dead.

Our visitors left, and we spend the remaining days of our honeymoon making love, swimming on the beach, and sunbathing on the roof deck; we also spend time swimming in the pool. Lucinda cleaned the Villa and cooked us food for the remaining days, and when it was our time to go, I felt so sad to leave the beach house because I know this is the only time I can have Hunter's undivided attention. Once we return to the Divenson mansion, he will spend most of his time in the office, and if he is at home, he will also devote his time to his study room.

Leticia welcomed us with a sweet smile on her face, and I realized I didn't miss this house, and maybe because I don't have beautiful memories in this mansion except for my first kiss with Hunter. By the time we get home, Hunter excused himself and proceeded to his study immediately, and I am just glad Lily asked me to joined her in her room. We talked and played some board games, and when dinner time came, I fetch my husband on his study.

When I open the door, I am surprised that my husband is no longer there anymore. So, I go to the library since he also loves to spend his time in the mansion's library, and as I get inside the enormous library, I can hear my husband's voice, and I realized he was talking with his father. And I am just glad that they were busy talking and they didn't notice my presence. I wanted to get out, but my curiosity made me footed on the library's floor.

I slowly move closer to them while I hid behind the bookshelves. I peeked, and I can't stop myself from feeling so nervous about being caught listening to my husband's meeting with his dad. I don't know why I suddenly want to know what Clark Divenson wants from Hunter.

"What do you want from me, dad?" Hunter asked.

"This is about one of our business partners from Paris; I am sorry, Hunter, I want to help you, son, but I didn't realize he wants his daughter to come and work with you. I know he wants to make sure that his money is in good hands." Clark said.

"What you mean by that, dad?" Hunter asked, and I can tell he was shocked.

"He said he wants his daughter to work with you in running the company." His father responded.

"Is she a mining engineer?" My husband asked.

"Nope, but he mentioned she graduated with an MBA degree, and she will come to Archois city, and she will be staying in your penthouse." Clark said.

"Why did you tell me about this now?" Hunter asked.

"Because you were so busy preparing for your wedding and chasing your wife, I didn't oppose your marriage with Madeline even though I don't like her, but we both know you only marry her so you will have a child, but why do you need to act like a real husband to her, Hunter? You disappoint me, son; why do you need to pretend you were her real husband?" His father asked, and I felt my entire body turned so cold.

"Cut the crap, Hunter, we both know you only needed her for one purpose alone, and you are going to discard her after she gives birth to your baby. You don't need to send her to school, for heaven's sake; after she leaves this house, she will become a millionaire, and Madeline doesn't need a college degree because she has a bright future, and I hope you will not give her false hope." Clark Divenson said.

"Don't worry, father, I know what I am doing." Hunter replied, and I know from the moment Calixto informed me about the reason why Hunter Divenson wants to marry me. But hearing them discussed made me feel hurt, and I am back to reality.

"Don't tell me you are falling in love with Madeline, son?" His father asked him, and my heart is beating so fast because I am so excited to hear Hunter's answer.

"Don't worry, dad, it will never happen, and I know it from the very start where Maddie stands in my life." Hunter replied, and my tears fall from my cheek, and I want to run away from the library, but I am afraid if they will find me, so instead of running away from them, I sat on the floor and leaned my body on the wall while I keep myself from crying.

"Her name is Eve, and she will arrive next week, and I hope you will entertain her. Who knows she will make you fall in love with her? You can always file a divorce against Madeline.." Clarke Divenson declared, and I hate him right now, how could he asked his son to divorce his wife. Well, I am just only Hunter's wife on the paper, and I hate to admit Clark was right. How could I be so confident that Hunter is beginning to love me? I am such a fool. I remain seated on the floor while I wait for them to leave the library.

I released a sigh of relief when they left and close the library door, I slowly get up, and I was groping in the dark since they switch off the light, and I left my cellphone in our room. It is so dark all around, and I try to locate the switch to turn on the lights, and I became frustrated that I couldn't find the switch. I let my tears flow because I was so naive for thinking I can tame my husband's heart, but I was so wrong. I know Hunter is very confident he won't fall in love with me, and what will happen when the daughter of Clark Divenson business partner arrives here in Archois City?

I can tell this is Clark's Divenson's plan, and I will not give him the satisfaction of seeing me cry and I will do everything I can to make his son fall in love with me, and I am not afraid no matter how many women Clark is going to use to make his son fall in love again.. I love his son, and I already promised myself that I would do everything I can to make him love back, and I realized I need Calixto's help if I want to win Hunter's heart.
