Madeline's POV
I can hear my husband's steady heartbeat as I adjusted my head on his chest, and I realized he fell asleep, and I can tell he doesn't have enough sleep. I understand why because he became so affected by what is happening around us, and I wonder if Rebecca was sleeping like this when he was with her, and I tried my best to keep those thoughts away from my head because I will only get hurt. I caressed his chiseled chest, and I froze when I felt him kissing my forehead. I thought he was still asleep.
"Hey, I am sorry, I should not fall asleep after that incredible lovemaking we had; I don't have enough sleep for the last few days because I can't stop thinking about you, Madeline." He said, and I raised my head and looked at him, and his beautiful eyes were looking at me with pure affection, and I felt so happy to hear those words coming from his sweet mouth. And he brings me closer to him while my limbs are still entangled with him.
"Thank you, Hunter, for coming home to me and for taking me here to our vacation home." I replied, and I can't stop my heart from racing as he continued to shower me with butterfly kisses. And I love the feeling of lying in bed beside him, and my face blushed when I realized we are still both naked. I can feel that we became closer to each other, and the way he is stroking my hair wants me to fall asleep, but I could never sleep knowing he is beside me after days of not seeing him.
"Of course, I always felt at home with you, Maddie." He said as he softly caressed my face.
"I think we need to eat something; you stay here while I cook something for us." He added, and this is what I love about Hunter; he always takes good care of me, especially regarding food.
"I don't want to eat something fancy I want to eat some noodles, and I want to come with you to the kitchen." I replied, and he laughs.
"I love noodles too, and I think the fridge has some lettuce. I asked Lucinda's daughter always to restock the refrigerator." Hunter said as he got up, and he pulled me up with him, and he tightly hugged me before he gets my robe and put it on my naked body. At the same time, he walked to the drawer and got some boxer shorts and sleeveless tank top, and after putting them on, he smiled at me and moves closer to me, and then he gave me a pecked on my lips before he holds my hand, and we get out of our room holding hands while I can't stop myself from smiling.
Hunter looked so hot as he prepared our noodles, and he sliced some fruits, and when I tried to help him, he stopped me.
"Let me do this, princess. You have to stay where you are and allow me to take care of you." He said, and he will always make me feel thrilled every time he calls me princess. And I find it so sweet watching him do things like that, and I know Hunter grew up with maids all around the Divenson mansion, and I felt so special right now that he prepared everything. I helped him set the table, and he looked so fascinated as he watched me eat my food.
I felt so happy and relax when Hunter asked me to have a swim at the beach. And I couldn't be happier when he told me that we would be spending the night at our vacation house, and for the first time this week, I was able to sleep peacefully beside my husband. Hunter woke me up, and I am surprised when he already prepared breakfast early morning.
"How is Rebecca?" I asked my husband as we eat our breakfast, and I want to avoid asking him about her ex, but since she is part of his past, and as of now he is helping her all he can I want to know how is she doing because it will also determine about our relationship. After all, if Rebecca is showing some progress, that means he will be spending less time with her. And I can feel that my husband tensed up, and I understand that he wants to avoid the subject because he is so afraid if I will get hurt again. But I want my husband to know that I am fine, and I am also interested to know about Rebecca's development.
"Well, I think Mindy was right. I can help Rebecca recover faster because for this week I can see some progress, and I don't want to tell you about this, but she was looking for you, and I don't know if it would be a good idea to let Rebecca spend time with you even though she doesn't know about who you are. And I am afraid it will cause her to be more in pain once she finds out the truth about our relationship." Hunter said, and he looked at me with concern in his eyes.
"Once she gets better, I need to tell her the truth because she needs to learn everything about us because I don't want to lead her on, and she has suffered enough. And my father already committed a big mistake towards Rebecca, and I don't want to add another sin. I know marrying you was never a mistake, Madeline, but I felt so worried about what would be her reaction once she found out I am happily married to you. And I wonder how she is going to take the information." Hunter added, and I can't stop myself from grinning, knowing he is so happy being married to me.
"I have to admit I still care about her because she had been my girlfriend before, and I want to be honest with you Madeline, I have loved her, and she became the center of my world once. That is why I can never abandon her. But I want you to know that for me, what we had was over, and I am now more in love with you. And I am helping her all I can because of what my father did to her. She was innocent, and I couldn't understand until now why my dad had to do something like that to Rebecca." He continued, and I can feel his frustrations on his voice, and I understand my husband, and I became more in love with him too.
"He was ruthless and selfish, and even though deep inside my heart I want him to answer for his sins, I can never do something to him because I still respected him as my father. I always remember your words when you begged me not to put the laws in my hands. And I want to thank you, Maddie, because you taught me how to be forgiving." He said, and he smiled at me, and it would be so hard not to smile back at him even though deep inside me, I want to tell him about my latest encounter with Clark Divenson, but I don't want to add up to his worries, and I still feel confident that his father will never hurt me. And to be honest, I want to be friends with Rebecca, but I don't want to make it harder for Hunter.
We left the Villa, and I felt so happy that he came home with me at our mansion. And Hunter stays the entire day with me, and I became delighted when he didn't leave the house. And he became true to his words, Hunter stayed with Rebecca every Monday and Wednesday, and he is with me most days of the week. And I know our situation is different from other married couples, but I understand that we need to help Rebecca.
Three years passed in a blur, and I am now in my fourth year of college. I already applied for graduation since our examination was over, and I am going to graduate soon. And I am now only waiting for our graduation ceremony. And I felt so excited about it, and how I wish my mom is still alive so she will see me on stage as I get my diploma, but I know she will be happy for me wherever she is right now.
I am now twenty-two years old, and I can tell I am now more mature. Our situation is still the same, and I never complain to my husband since I understand him and Rebecca, even though there are times I want to ask when he is going to tell her about us. And I am just glad that he also keeps me updated about Rebecca's health development, and I felt so happy that she no longer have anxiety attacks. And as per Hunter, Rebecca is almost there, it was a long process, but I should say it was all worth it, and Hunter enrolled her in online classes since he also wanted Rebecca to finish her education.
On the night before my graduation, we are already sleeping on our bed when I heard his phone is buzzing, and I ignore it at first. Still, it continues to ring, and I wonder who could be calling my husband at this hour, and when I looked at on the screen, I can see Lucinda's name is flashing on the screen, and I can tell something is going on at the penthouse.
I suddenly felt nervous because I can't stop thinking about what could have happened with Rebecca. I don't have a choice but to wake up my husband, and he was disoriented at first. Then, I can see the worries that registered on his face the moment he saw Lucinda's name. He quickly answered the call, and based on their conversations, I can tell something is wrong with Rebecca, and my husband promptly got up from our bed, saying nothing to me at all.. And I want to ask him what is wrong, but he left me disoriented, and I felt so lost and alone.
