Loving Madeline-Chapter 205 - Big Brother

Hunter's POV

"Hunter, are you sure you want to do this?" Cal asked me as I drove uphill towards the Divenson mansion. I could tell my father was at home since the entire estate was lit up like some party was going on, and when we reached the massive electronic gate, I couldn't believe he banned me from getting inside our house. My father changed the passcode of our gate, and when I talked to the guards, they still didn't open the gate for me. I was standing in front of the entrance feeling lost and tired. I know it was already late, but I was desperate to talk with him.

"Clark! You better get here outside and face me like a real man. What is wrong with you?? Why are you trying to mess up with my fucking life every chance you can get? Why do you need to take away my wife? Why can't you fight me man to man? Huh! You are such a coward and the most selfish person I ever know." I shouted in front of the CCTV camera, hoping he was watching me, and I punched and kicked the gate several times as I could feel the pain in my knuckles until they were bleeding, and I couldn't believe he would do this kind of trick to me. I kept on shouting and kicking the gate until I felt too tired to move my legs, and I sat on the ground while I didn't stop shouting.

"Son, I think it is useless; we better return to your house now, and I am sure your mother and sister are waiting for you," Cal said, and I didn't realize he got out of the car.

"We are not leaving here, Calixto, until I will get some answers.. I need to know where they ship my wife. She is not a fucking package, Cal, she is a human being, and she is my lovely wife, and I love her so much. I want to know if my wife is doing fine. She is pregnant, Cal. They should give her a chance to come home to me. She had done nothing wrong to anyone because my wife is selfless." I said as I looked at Cal's face, and I tried to hold my tears at bay. I don't want my father to see me cry, and I will never allow him to look at my vulnerable side.

"I don't think your father is ready to see you, Hunter, and we need to go now. No matter how many hours you will wait here outside, he will never come to you." Cal said, and when I was about to get back on the car, the gate opened, and I was surprised that it opened wide, and I saw my sister standing on the other side, and she was looking daggers at me. Charlotte crossed her arms over her chest, and I could see my father's bodyguards surrounding the area.

"What do you want from dad, at this hour, Hunter?" My sister asked in a stern tone.

"Where is your father?" I hissed.

"He is not here, Hunter." She replied coldly.

"I don't believe you, Charlotte," I responded.

"Then, don't, I don't want to talk to you anyway." She replied sarcastically.

"Where are you taking my wife?" I asked her.

"We don't know about what you are talking about, big brother. We almost lost everything because of you, Hunter. You took everything." She barked.

"I didn't do anything about father's shares, Charlotte, and I don't know why he sold the 50% of his shares. And you still have a share. And you were both given what is due for you. I am not that selfish, my dear sister. I care about you and dad. But I wonder why you want to mess up with my life. What have I done wrong?" I asked her, and she smirked at me.

"Don't make me laugh, Hunter. I think you already know the answer. Father promised Kaye's father, and in return, Kaye's family financed our dad with one of the businesses he ventured into years ago. Still, instead of marrying her, you marry some random girl who is unknown to our society. And now you asked what you have done wrong. And do you know that dad is now in the hospital because of you?" She asked, and I furrowed my eyebrow.

"He had a heart attack the other night, and I already informed mom about it, and I am not sure if she visited him. I can tell mom was hesitant to visit dad because she was afraid if you would be upset." She said, and I could see the pain in my sister's face.

"Why?" I asked in more than a whisper, and I suddenly felt so weak as I realized my dad was in the hospital, and if he was there, who took my wife?

"Dad and Kaye's father argued because the latter asked father, when are you going to divorce your wife." She said, and my eyes widened.

"I don't know their deal, but I guess Kaye is now asking his father to expedite the process of your divorce, and I heard dad ask for an apology from Kaye's dad. He said he made a mistake, and he was willing to pay the amount due to Kaye's dad. Father said he already lost his wife and children, and because of that damn agreement, dad broke his family." My sister said, and I couldn't believe that our father came to his senses at last.

"But Kaye's father got so angry and said dad has no Word of honor, and he will do everything he can to ruin all of us if our father does not give him the only thing his only daughter wants her entire life, and that is you, Hunter," Charlotte said. I couldn't believe what I heard, and it felt like I wanted to scream because this was too much for me to deal with, and for the first time after I learned Clark, Divenson is not my birth father, I realized I missed the man I used to call Dad.

"How is he?" I asked in more than a whisper.

"Bad, and I don't think he will survive another day, but I think he will be waiting for you, mom, Lily, and Parker." She said, and for the first time, I saw my sister cry. She used to be so tough, and I know how close she was with our dad, and even if growing up, I could tell I was my dad's favorite, and I doubt if he faked it, and Charlotte will always follow dad around the Divension mansion.

"I am sorry, big brother," Charlotte said, and she ran to me, and she cried in my arms.

"I know I haven't been a good sister to you because I only wanted to be special in dad's eyes, but he was always proud of you because I was a girl, and you were the heir of our company. I envy you, and instead, I should give you the full support. I backstabbed you, and I tricked you." Charlotte declared, and I was too stunned to speak.

Everything happened so fast that it was so hard for me to process what was going on with my life right now. I can feel the piercing in my heart as I think of my missing wife, my father, in the hospital. But I can't deny I felt so happy that Charlotte called me big brother. It has been a long time I heard her call me big brother, and I realized how much I miss my sister. I brought her closer to me, and I tightly hugged her.

"I hope we can start over. I hate to admit it, but right now, I felt so scared, Hunter. I don't want dad to die, and I am so afraid of what Kaye's family will do to all of us." She said, and I looked at her.

"She is your best friend, Charlotte." I declared, and she shook her head.

"She was only good to me because she wants you, Hunter. I know her true colors now, and I know it would be too late if I say I don't want her either to be your wife because you are already married to Madeline, and I know even if the world will perish, you will never leave your wife because I know how much you love her." She responded, and I smiled as I realized Charlotte knew how much I cared about Maddie.

"I admit I like Maddie too, but I want Kaye to be happy and proud of me because I thought she was sincere that is why I listened to everything that she said to me, but now that his dad did that to our father, I don't want to associate with their family ever again. I hope you will have the heart to forgive me, Hunter." She said, and I stroked her hair.

"I know I have done wrong not only to Madeline but also to Rebecca, and I did it all because of Kaye. I am sorry, Hunter. I know words are not enough to tell you how sorry I am right now." Charlotte said as she looked at me, and I nodded my head, and I kissed her forehead.

"Pack your things, Charlotte, just the important things that you will need. You have to come to me at our house. I am sure mom and Lily will be happy to see you." I said. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

"But mom hated me, especially our little sister, Lily." She said, and I could see the worries on her face.

"Mom loves you, Charlotte, and you know that mother's love will never waver, and Lily adores you, but you were the one who shunned her away." I said as I smiled at her and my sister pulled me to come with her inside our house. Even if I felt so worried about what was going on with our lives, I am glad that my sister has finally come to her senses, and I realized how much I missed my sister, and I could tell Charlotte could help me find Madeline.
