Hunter's POV
Madeline looked so beautiful sleeping on the couch, and I want her to be sleeping in my lap forever, but I know she needs to have a proper rest because I am aware she doesn't have enough sleep since she left our home, and I felt so guilty, and I promise to make it up to her. And I want to take away all the pain she feels inside. I carried my wife into her bedroom, and I am tempted to lay beside her after I covered her body with the soft blanket, but I don't want to lose my chance to be with her because I need to win back her love and trust first, and I don't like Madeline to hate me again. I know she is beginning to have faith in me, and I felt so happy that my wife didn't push me away or shout at me when she found me on her driveway. Still, instead, she caressed my face, and I am the luckiest man in the world for having a beautiful and kind-hearted wife like Madeline.
I got out of her bedroom, and I tiptoed in going back to the living area, and I want to go home, but the heavy rain is still pouring outside. I lay my body on the couch and tried to get some sleep, and it was four o'clock in the morning when I woke up, and I am surprised, but I smiled when I found my torso covered with a blanket, and I am so happy that she still cares about me. I stood up, and I don't want to leave without saying goodbye to her, but she looked so peaceful sleeping on her bed, so I sat at the edge of her bed and watched her sleep for a long while. And I don't want to go home, but I have important clients that I need to meet today.
I left Maddie's room with a heavy heart, but I made a love note for her since I don't want her to think I go without saying goodbye to her. After reading the message several times, I put it on her center table in the living room. I drive away from Madeline's driveway fast since it is still early in the morning, but I made sure I am not beyond the speed limit. I don't want to stress Calixto if he finds out I am charged with overspeeding.
"Hunter, how was it?" My mom asked the moment I get inside the house, and I am stunned to find her early in the morning in our living room.
"Mom, why are you up this early?" I asked, and she smiled.
"I was worried about you even if you texted me that you are at Madeline's place. I hope you are okay now." She replied, and I walked closer to my mom with a wide grin on my face, and I put my hand on my mom's shoulders before I hugged her.
"Mom, thank you for staying with me, and I am so happy that Madeline accepted me in her house, and I think she will be coming home soon, and to do that, I need my sister's help because I know only Lily can persuade her to come home. I understand that I don't need to force Maddie to come home right away because she asked me to be patient, but I can't be patient with my wife, my need to be with her is so strong that I think I am losing my mind." I declared.
"Son, if Madeline asked you to wait, then you need to wait for her, don't rush things, for it will cause some problems. Let her come home to you on her own because you know how much you hurt her, Hunter, and be thankful that Maddie gave you another chance. Continue to court her, but I know she is close with Lily, so you can bring your sister with you to make her happier, and maybe she will consider coming home one of these days." My mom responded, and my smile broadens.
I took a bath happily, and I was singing while I am in the shower, and I can't stop myself from smiling, and if someone sees me now, I am sure he might think I am losing my mind, but who will not be smiling like me? If you have a wife as beautiful as Maddie, and most of all a loving wife.
I get my briefcase and walked out of my room, and I am still in high spirits, but when I reach the top of the stairs, I heard loud voices coming from the kitchen, and my heartbeat quickened when I listened to my father's voice. And I ran and took the steps three steps at a time, for I felt so afraid of what is he doing with my mother. I am horrified to find my father pinning my mom on the wall, and he was strangling mom by the neck, and I can tell my mother was suffocating, and I didn't waste my time. I came to my father and removed his hands from my mom, and I want to punch him again, but I tried my best to control all my anger towards him.
"What are you doing? Do you want to kill, mom?" I said in a loud voice, and I couldn't stop pushing him hard that he almost stumble on the floor, and out of the corner of my I, I saw Cerila on the corner, and I can tell she was trembling with fear.
"I am sorry, Leticia, I am losing my mind. Please come home." He said, and I half-laugh.
"You want mom to come home? Are you kidding me? Do you want me to call the police right now and file a case against you for your maltreatment towards mom? I want you to get out of my house right now." I said, and he looked at me with anger.
"Do you think I am afraid of you, Hunter? I am still your father, and I can fire you." He said.
"It is too late, Clark. I already transferred all my shares to Hunter. And I hope you will realize what you have done. I regretted that I fell in love with you. I should have listened to my parents, but my obsession with you blinded me that I married you even if you showed it to my face that you only want our wealth and our businesses. You could have at least show me that there is a point in our marriage life that you love me. I am aware that you have young mistresses. You have an affair with your secretary, but I chose to play blind because I love you, and now my greatest regret in my life was falling in love with you." My mom said, and I am stunned to hear all of it because I thought growing up he was only busy running the company, and I never realized how many times he cheated on my mom. My father's shoulders sagged, but he still looked at me with anger on his face.
"We are not yet done, Hunter, and I am going to bring you home, Leticia, whatever it takes." My father said before he walked out from the dining hall.
.
"Are you alright, mom?" I asked as I take her into the dining chair.
"Don't worry about me, son; I am done crying over with your father a long time ago. And I felt so happy now that I finally got the courage to fight him. I know I should have done it when you were younger. Maybe Charlotte and Parker weren't brainwashed by your dad, but I was worried you will grow up without your dad, and of course, I was crazy over him." Mom said, and I understand her.
I made sure that my mother was fine before I left the house, and I informed my security team never to allow my dad or any of my siblings to get inside the house or the estate premises. And I drive going to the office thinking about Madeline's safety, and I realized I need to take her to my house so my dad can't harm her.
"Wow! I couldn't believe that you will be here at this hour. You are early for the first time after your wife left you." Calixto said, but even if I felt down and sad after what happened in my house early morning, the moment I remember my wife, my mood changed. I am too happy to give a damn about Cal's comments, and I continue to smile as I open my laptop and started reading my emails.
"You can never ruin my mood, Cal. I am too happy today to bark at you." I replied, and he laughed.
"By looking at you right now, I can tell that you are so joyful, and I am sure Madeline has something to do about it," Calixto said, and I raised my head and looked at him as I nod my head, and then I adjusted my necktie.
"Yes, and I can't wait to see my wife again tonight, and I am very excited to meet her in her cute home. Do you have any idea how to convince my wife to return to our mansion soon?" I asked Cal, and he moved closer to me as he put some folders and documents on top of my table.
"You can always ask help from your sister, and I am sure now that Lily is living in your house Madeline will never say no to her, your wife is so fond of Lily, and your sister loves your wife dearly," Calixto answered me. I nod at him because I know from the moment Madeline came to the Divenson mansion, they become inseparable, and I know they have a deeper connection, and it always makes me smile knowing they are very close with each other.
"Yeah, we have the same idea, Cal. I am also thinking the same way, and I want her to come home because I want to see Maddie every day and spend more time with her during my free time, and I think I will have two days off, Cal. I want to be with Madeline during Saturdays and Sundays, and I can't wait to be with her," I said, and Cal was beaming at me. I know for the past few days, my assistant was avoiding me because he was angry that my wife left. After all, I have badly hurt her, and I could tell Calixto cares about Madeline like she is his daughter, and it also makes me delighted knowing some people love my wife aside from me because she is an orphan, and my wife needs affection from her friends too.
"Cal, please call Roman and tell her to tighten the security around Maddie's house," I said.
"Okay, I will call him now, Mr. Divenson." He said and left my room. I want to shower my wife with my love, and by doing that, I need to protect her from my father and siblings. And I will never allow any of them to hurt my wife again, either physically or mentally, and I will make sure that they can never get closer to Madeline.
