Chapter 156 - No Longer Scared
Madeline\'s POV
The moment Hunter answered his phone, I know right away that it was his right hand, Calixto, and the worried expression on his face made me realized that something was wrong. And I hate that we are having this kind of trouble right now that it feels so good to have him back in my life. Having Hunter in my place made me understood that I need him, and I want us to be together. And I don\'t want to prolong our agony because we both know we can\'t live without each other.
I was planning to tell him about my answer after we have our shopping with his sister, but I don\'t want him to leave without telling him that I am now willing to go back to our house and spend the rest of my life with him because that is what I want and that is what will make me happy. Hunter is my life, my happiness, and my everything. He hurt me many times, but I realized it was all unintentional on his part since I know how much he cares for me, and the suffering that I had been through was replaced by too much gratification now that we are back together.
"I don\'t want to leave you right now, Madeline, especially that you told me that you are coming home to our house because I want to take you there with me, but since we have some problems at the mining site, I don\'t have a choice, but to be there. Enjoy your time with Lily, and I was hoping you could wait for me at our house. You don\'t need to bring anything because you have all the dresses in our house, and I still bought you some clothes even if you left because I know one day you will come home to me." Hunter said as we walked, holding hands going to my garage.
"And you don\'t need to worry about your house, I will send someone to clean it from time to time, and we can come here and make love." He said that made me have butterflies in my stomach.
"Don\'t talk like that, Hunter. If you want to go with Calixto to the site, do you know how do your words turn me on?" I teased him, and I laugh when I saw the agony on his face.
"And do you know how much you made me so hard for you, right now?" He asked, and I blushed.
"Damn, don\'t make this hard for me to leave, Madeline. I want to spend more time with you." My husband said as he took me into his arm, and he was holding my hips while we are staring at each other.
"I don\'t want to make it hard for you, and I just want to kiss you before you go," I said, and he grinned as he leaned down and he kissed me slow with the passion that I melt in my husband\'s arms. It feels so wonderful to kiss Hunter, now that I allowed him to be back in my life, and I miss this feeling of belongingness. He made me moaned when he bit my lower lip tenderly before he finally let me go.
"I need to go now, my sweet Madeline, before Calixto calls me. Could you wait for me at our house? I promise I will take you to our Villa next weekend so we can have our second honeymoon." He said, and my smile broadens since I miss being alone with my husband swimming on the beach without care, and I am more excited about the honeymoon part that made me have goosebumps all over my body.
"Mom will be waiting for you in our house, and don\'t worry, and I will try to resolve the issue at the site the most effective way I can, so we can have dinner together; how does it sound?" He asked.
"That is perfect for me, don\'t worry, I will come home to our house after we had shopping, I miss our garden, and of course I miss our room," I replied, and he grinned.
"I know, and one more thing, I already repainted the nursery room because I can\'t wait to get you pregnant, Maddie, and I think we need to double time." He said that made me feel like jelly, and he kissed me on the lips, and then he gets inside his car without having a second look since I know he doesn\'t want to leave me, especially we are talking about making babies. I watched my husband drove away from me while I was smiling from ear to ear.
"I love you so much, Hunter Divenson," I mumbled while I can\'t stop myself from touching my lips as I can still taste my husband\'s mouth on me, and when I could no longer see his car, I realized I miss him already. I get inside my house, still feeling euphoric with the hot kisses that we shared.
"Hey, are you okay?" I asked Lily when I found her sitting on the sofa, and she raised her head and smiled weakly at me.
"Yeah, I am sorry if I acted like a child, Madeline. I am just so excited to spend time with my brother because I know he is always busy with his work." She said.
"It is okay, Lily, your brother, understands why you walked out a while ago, and he feels guilty that he can\'t be with us. I felt sad about it, too, since I want to be with Hunter because I also miss him so much. But I understand he will never be at peace, and he will never enjoy with us if he has something on his mind. I understand he is working hard for us, and I think it is not a simple problem, Lily. But do not worry about anything because I believe your brother will solve it right away so he can be with us at home." I declared, and it made her widened her eyes, and she became speechless.
"Yes, I am coming home, my dear," I added, and she jumped on her feet, and she moves close to me, and she hugged me.
"Thank you so much, Madeline, I am so excited, and I guess I need to text Hunter and apologize." She said, and I beamed at her.
"Yes, he would love that Lily, and show your support to him. He needs our full support at this time." I said, and she released me from her arms, and she fished out her phone from her pocket, and she typed a message for her brother.
We both take a bath and get dressed, and I was blow drying my hair when Lily gets inside my room. And she asked me to braid my hair, and I nodded at her, and I love the way Lily crown braided my hair, and she did the same to her hair.
"Now that we have the same hairstyle, it feels like I am your sister now." She declared.
"Of course, you will always be my little sister, Lily, even if you are now a lady," I said.
"I wish I can be beautiful as you." She replied, and it made me shocked.
"Are you kidding me? You are beautiful, Lily; you are the girl version of Hunter." I declared with a broad smile on my face, and she giggled.
"I have heard that before. I know my brother is good-looking, but I never expect we have a similarity with our face." She responded.
"Believe me, you have," I said as I linked my arm with her as we go out of the room.
The moment we arrived at the mall, Lily became so excited, and she enjoyed fitting all types of dresses while I wait for her to come out from the fitting room, and I can\'t stop myself from laughing when she tried wearing weird dresses and shoes. We are on our way to having a snack, and we have so many paper bags on our hands when suddenly we bumped into someone I don\'t want to see.
"Well, well, well, look who is here, my brat of a sister and my slut sister-in-law," Charlotte said as she looked at me from head to toe, and can feel the pain in my heart, and I realized she was with her best friend, Kaye. I hold Lily\'s arm because I saw her angry face, and I can tell she wants to give her sister a lesson, but they are not worth it, and even though I can feel my anger deep inside my core, I tried to control my emotions. And I want Hunter\'s sister to answer for all the things she had done to us, especially for trying to wreck my marriage with Hunter. I couldn\'t believe Charlotte drugged her brother to initiate her evil plan, but I am still thankful that the scheme she formulated failed.
"Apologize to Madeline, Charlotte, because you were the bitch for ruining my brother\'s reputation. Don\'t force Hunter to marry your friend because it will never happen even if Madeline didn\'t come into his life. And you know why? You were both wicked and selfish ." Lily said, and I can see the anger on Charlotte\'s face, and she moves closer to us, and she raised her hand to slap her sister, but I stop her by holding her wrist mid-air.
"I couldn\'t believe you will hurt your sister, Charlotte," I said.
"And who are you to stop me what I want to do?" She asked, and I can tell we are making a scene now because she raised her voice than necessary. She yanked her arm from me, and she used her other hand to slap me hard. And I can feel the sting right away, and it made me angry, and I lost control.
The paper bag fell from my hands, and I slapped her back with all my strength from left to right. I am tired of being the receiving end of their wickedness, and she was shocked that I fight back that she stepped back from me, and Kaye came to her rescue as she holds her on the shoulders, while Charlotte massages her face, and I know it was a hard slap. I want to laugh that I finally got back at her for hurting me so many times, and it will never be enough. Charlotte almost slap a minor if I didn\'t stop her, and she hit me first; that is why she deserved that double slap she received from me.
"We are not yet done, Madeline. I will make you pay for slapping me twice." She growled.
"Bring it on, and I am no longer afraid of you, Charlotte," I said, and she was looking daggers at me before she turned her heels and walked away from us with her best friend, and when I looked at Lily, we both erupted into laughter. I felt so happy that, at last, I am no longer scared of Charlotte and Kaye, and I realized I will never allow them to destroy my marriage with Hunter ever again.
