Loving Madeline
Chapter 71 - I Am Now Hunter’s Wife

Madeline's POV

"Are you alright, Madeline?" I heard Hunter's voice full of concern as he put his strong hands on my waist, and he slowly pulled me up from the ground, and I couldn't stop myself from feeling the butterflies on my stomach as I can feel the electricity creeping up on my entire frame.

"Yes, and guys, I am so sorry for ruining your game," I said, and I heard Calixto's laughter.

"It is okay, Madeline, it was fun, and I can tell how you become so close with your husband. I know you did that on purpose because the Morigans are winning the game; thanks for helping us anyway." He said, and I looked around and found him standing behind Gina's back.

"I didn't do it on purpose, Calixto. I just carried away, that is all. I hope you will continue the game, and this is nothing." I said as I feel the pang on my face and left eye.

"You are not fine, Maddie. We need to go inside and put an icebag on your face to stop the swelling of your face." Hunter declared.

"Don't worry, I am fine. I will go with Gina, and please continue playing. I felt bad already that we disrupted your game." I said.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Yes," I replied and smiled sweetly at him, and I felt warm when he caresses my face before he let me go.

"Don't worry, Hunter; I will take care of your wife," Gina said, and she took my hand and dragged me away from the beach volley court, and Lily stayed behind to tally the score of both teams.

"Wow, I salute you now, my friend. It seems Hunter is now starting to fall for you; please, Maddie, tell me about your first night with Hunter; did you enjoy it?" She asked, and when I looked at her face, I can tell she was so excited to hear about it because we promised each other we would share our first time; losing my virginity was something special for me. For my friend, it was only out of her curiosity, but I know she was happy and ready that time because she did it with her first boyfriend, and I am just glad she didn't do it with random boys.

"Very much, and I love it, Gina, it may sound crazy, but when we were on the island, I couldn't count how many times I came; Hunter is not only handsome, but he is also good in bed, and I couldn't believe he is my husband now." I declared, and she giggled.

"Wow, I am glad that you enjoyed your first time." She said.

"I know at first I thought my life sucks because at a young age I experience hardships. I grew up without a father, and I lost my mother because of cancer. And the main reason I lost her was that I couldn't afford to bring her to the hospital and have proper treatment, and I am living in guilt because I couldn't save my mom." I declared, and my best friend's face softened.

"And I hate my father that he died and didn't reach out to me, but instead he asked a stranger to marry me, it was funny because right now, I want to visit his grave and tell him I am glad he begged Hunter to marry me, and I am so happy right now, Gina." I added.

"I understand what you mean, Madeline, but you have to stop blaming yourself. Your mother died because of her illness, and she avoided treatment because she knew it would take only a waste of money. After all, her sickness is impossible to cure. The infection spreads and hits her vital organs, and she told me everything, Madeline. She doesn't want to worry you, that is the reason why before she died, she asked me to look out for you, and I promised your mom that I would be your friend forever, through the bad times and the good times." She responded, and this is the first time she told me about this.

"So, you only stick. with me because you promised my mom?" I asked.

"Don't be silly, Maddie, you know how much I want to be your friend from the first time we met. And right now, I am so proud that I stay by your side, and I kept my promised to her never to leave you until you are in good hands, but I won't go because best friends should be there for each other, to give love and support. And I am jealous because you are now married to Hunter Divenson while I am still looking for a boyfriend, and I hope Jack will give me even a little of his time."

"Don't make me laugh, Gina as if your parents will allow you to get married without graduating from college." I said, and she laughed.

"Yeah, but I am sure if they will know I will marry someone like Hunter, they will be the ones to force me to marry, I understand parents want their child to have a bright future, and right now, I can tell you have the most promising future among of all the young woman all over the country because you are Hunter Divenson's wife." She declared, and I laugh while I am still caressing my swollen face, and I can't stop myself from beaming when I saw Gina's eyes got so big as I bring her to my new sports car, and she was speechless.

"His wedding gift for me, " I said.

"Wow, this is brilliant. When can I have a ride with this baby?" She asked as he trailed her fingers on the body of the car.

"Soon, maybe we can have a ride later." I responded.

"Can I drive?" She asked, and I nodded, and she jumped on her feet and hugged me tightly. That made me hard to breathe, and when she released me from her tight embrace, she leaned her back on the car.

"Wow! He is in love with you, Madeline." She said.

"I hope so, Gina." I replied, and I motioned her to follow me inside the villa, and her eyes widened as she looked at the interior of the beach house, the high ceiling to the expansive glass windows that made the entire place fresh; she was staring at the expensive chandeliers and the long white sofa that made the whole place homely and so cozy.

Lucinda and her daughter greeted us as we get inside the kitchen. And they were preparing the food for dinner, and she immediately got the ice bag and put some ice cubes into it, and she handed it to me.

"Thank you, Lucinda." I said.

"You are welcome, Madeline." She replied and told me Hunter asked to have our dinner on the roof deck, and I remember the last dinner I had dinner with him on the rooftop. I know I was hurt that time, but it doesn't matter at all because Hunter is now my husband. I pressed the bag on my face and to the side of my left eye. I couldn't believe my clumsiness will make me embarrassed in front of my husband and our guests, but it was all worth it, and I decided to help Lucinda prepared the table and set up the utensils, and I am glad that Gina is with me.

"Wow, this place is fantastic!" She exclaimed as we go on the rooftop of the house and set up the table.

"Yes, it was so beautiful up here, especially during nighttime." I replied.

"The view is perfect, the expansive shoreline and the sparkling clear water are captivating, and I can't wait to swim." She declared.

"We can have night swimming later, and we can also swim tomorrow morning." I said, and she became excited. We return to the shore with a basket of bottled water, and I couldn't believe they are still playing and I can tell my husband is having a good time as well as Cal and the Morigans. I called for a time out and distributed the bottled water, and they all mumbled their thanks while my husband stands beside me. 

My heart skipped a beat when he removed his tank top, and he handed it to me. And it took me seconds to understand that he was asking me to wipe his sweats. I can feel my entire face blushed as I wiped his sweat all over his back. When he faces me, I have to swallow my saliva as I continue to rub his shirt on his muscular chest, and I am still in awe every time I watch and touch his glorious body, and I felt warmth all over my face as I feel his hot breath near my ear.

"Thank you, my sweet wife." He said in more than a whisper as he gets the shirt from my hand, and I can hear Gina giggles, and it feels so intimate to do something like this to my husband in front of my friends. They continue to play, and this time Lily asked her brother to join them, and now that they have Lily with them, the game became intense, and I can't decide which team I have to cheer on because I also like the Morigans; they are like a family to me.

It was almost twilight when they call it a day; on the last game, Hunter's team won, and Lily was so happy about it, and we all get back inside the house to prepare ourselves for dinner. As we get inside, we heard an approaching vehicle on the driveway, and my husband's forehead furrowed; and I wonder who arrived at this hour when we are not expecting anyone.

Hunter and Cal went to the garage to meet the unexpected visitors while we all get inside. I am in the living room waiting for Hunter when he gets inside the house. I couldn't stop myself from feeling so nervous when I saw Charlotte gets inside the house, followed by her friend, Kaye. I stand up from the sofa and say hi, they just looked at me, and as usual, I received the same treatment from his sister and her close friend, and it was Cal who smiled at me, and he asked me to come with him to the porch because he wants to show me something.

"Thank you, Cal. I know you don't have anything to show me, and you save me from being embarrassed." I declared the moment we sat on the patio chair facing the swimming pool.

"You are welcome, Madeline. I know Charlotte likes Kaye to become Hunter's wife, but they can do nothing about it now because you are now Mrs. Divenson. Yet, I want you to be careful always, Maddie. Kaye will never stop until she achieves ruining your relationship with Hunter. Always be on your guard." He said, and I felt so thankful for his concern about me.

"Don't worry, Cal, I won't give them the satisfaction of ruining my relationship with Hunter, I am his wife now, and I have all the right to be with my husband, and I am telling you, I am not afraid of them, but there is someone I am so scared of, and I need to tell you something, Cal." I said, and I can tell Calixto wonders who made me so frightened, and when I told him everything about Hunter's father, his face pale. And I felt that he knew what is going on with Hunter's dad because he was once his right hand before Hunter took over the company.

"I need your help, Cal." I said.

"Madeline, I want you to be careful from now on, I know Hunter's father was a good man, but after what happened to their business and Rebecca, I can tell he became a different person, so stay away from him as possible. He said and excused himself, and I hate to admit that Charlotte and Kaye ruined my day, and I know I have to make myself ready for their evil plans.. Still, I am now Hunter's wife, and I am ready what kind of scheme they were planning to give me, and I hope this time it will not include Rebecca's stuff because as possible, I want Rebecca to rest in peace, and I don't want Hunter to hate me again.
