Madeline's POV

I am not fond of having make-up because I didn't attend any party growing up and right now I have enjoyed it for the first time since I was with Lily and my best friend. And I couldn't stop my little sister from doing her make-up alone, and I know that she's good because she looked so beautiful after showing me her face. And even the makeup artists were impressed by her performance. And I could tell Hunter's sister is very talented.

And seeing Lily with absolute happiness on her face warmed my heart. I realize I will never have regrets for saving her life because I cannot explain the satisfaction that I feel right now. She giggled, and I wanted to tell her that I am so glad that I met someone like her because I will never forget how she treated me when I first came into their mansion, and it will forever be in my memory.

I felt so grateful as I witnessed her turn into a beautiful young woman, and even if I could no longer look at the adorable little girl that I know, for me, Lily will always be my little sister.

"Wow! You look so gorgeous, Madeline, and you look like an actual princess coming from a royal family in one of the countries in Europe." Lily said, and I could see the blush on my face as I looked at my reflection in the mirror.

"That is not true, Lily; you are the one who looks like a princess; your ball gown looked so great in you," I said as I turned my gaze to Lily, and her Cinderella-inspired gown looked so perfect on her, and she beamed at me.

"Thank you, Madeline, but I know you will always be the most beautiful, and I am sure Hunter will never leave your side tonight. And I can't wait for his reaction the moment you get out of this room, and I am sure my big brother will go crazy over his wife." Lily said excitedly.

"Thank you, Lily. I am excited to see your brother because I know he will look dashing tonight." I said, and just thinking about my husband waiting for me outside my room made me feel the knots on my stomach, and it felt like it was our wedding day again, and I couldn't contain my excitement as I put on my shoes.

"I stood up carefully since I don't want to step on my gown since it is floor length, and when I saw my royal blue umbrella cut gown looked so perfect on me, I smiled widely, and the color of my dress heightened my complexion, and my smooth white skin glowed. And I wanted to tell Lily that this time, I felt like I was a princess from a movie.

"Lily was right, Maddie; you look stunning." I heard Gina's compliment, and I looked at her with a broad grin on my face.

"You looked fantastic with your gown as well, Gina, and it feels like we are attending a prom," I said.

"Yeah, you are right, and I feel the same way too, but since tonight is all about you, I could tell you already became the prom queen while your husband is the prom king." She responded, and we both giggled, and I couldn't stop myself from feeling sad as I remembered the prom night that I couldn't attend.

I wanted to, but my aunt begged me not to go since I can't afford to be absent from my part-time job, and the other reason is I couldn't afford to buy a new dress, and it is so ironic that right now, I could have any dress I want. I can have the most expensive clothing of my choice. My husband showered me with all the dresses I could wear, while my aunt doubled the collection of my dresses in my closet.

I couldn't believe that sometimes life would be so unfair, and there are moments that no matter how you want to make your life better and work harder, it will never be enough, and life becomes more arduous. And right now, I realized this was the reward of all the hardships that I had been through, and I couldn't stop myself from remembering my mother.

"Are you ready, Madeline?" Lily asked me as she noticed I zone out, and I snapped back to the present, giving her a beautiful smile.

" I couldn't be more ready, Lily." I declared, and her face lit up as she linked her arm with mine while I was holding the hem of my gown. 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

I could feel my heart thumping furiously as I found my husband waiting for me outside our bedroom, looking dashing as ever with his navy blue suit. I wanted to remember this moment forever as he looked at me with too much intensity and admiration.

"You looked so beautiful, Madeline." He said the moment he took my hand, then kissed my knuckles tenderly.

"Thank you, Hunter, you looked so handsome as ever," I answered him while I could feel the butterflies on my chest as I looked at his mesmerizing eyes, and I realized my husband was drinking me in.

"I wanted to take you back into our room, my hot and lovely wife, and I will slowly undress your gown." He whispered in my ear that made my entire face flush instantly, and I couldn't stop myself from giggling. His sexy voice made me feel thrilled.

"I was feeling the same way too, Hunter. Now that I see you, I realize how hot you look. I wanted to go back in our room and remove every piece of your clothing and spend the night naked beside you." I responded, and I enjoyed the moment seeing how my husband's face became redder.

"Stop teasing me that way, Madeline, if you don't want your grandpa to be disappointed about us." He said, and I am glad Lily and Gina are already walking ahead of us.

"You started it, Hunter," I responded.

"I never realized you can tease me in that manner, Madeline." He said.

"Why, don't you like it, Mr. Divenson?" I asked, and he darted a side glance at me with a mischievous grin on his face.

"I love every word you uttered, Madeline, but I don't like the idea that I will be getting a hard-on for the rest of the party thinking of how wonderful it is to taste your lips and touch your body." He said, and I couldn't stop myself from feeling so hot all over my frame, and having this kind conversation with my husband made me feel so thrilled, and I can't deny he is turning me on with his words.

"Do you think we can escape the party later?" I asked, and I heard him chuckle.

I was lost for words the moment we got inside the ballroom, and the beautiful emcee acknowledged our arrival right away, and I couldn't stop myself from feeling so nervous. Still, I felt my husband's warm hand tighten his grip on my palm, giving me enough courage to face the entire crowd.

I still couldn't believe that my grandfather invited so many guests and made the entire ballroom almost filled with different individuals I didn't even recognize. They were all looking at me with interest. I could tell these people played an important role in this country.

I wondered who made the decoration, including the backdrop, and I could tell right away my grandpa spent a considerable amount of money for this party alone, from the decoration, sound system, and hiring a live band.

My uneasiness suddenly disappeared the moment I found my husband's entire family at one table, and next to their table is where my aunt Francine and her husband uncle Paul together with grandpa, were

seated, and I can tell my grandfather looked so proud of me as he stood up and greeted me.

"You looked so lovely, Madeline." He declared, and I smiled from ear to ear after I said my thanks to him.

"Can I borrow your wife for a while, Hunter?" My grandfather added, and my husband handed me to my grandpa, and he brought me to the center of the stage while he took the microphone from the host.

"Good evening everyone, I couldn't thank you enough for joining me tonight at this significant event that is happening in our lives, and I am so proud to say that this beautiful and gorgeous young woman standing in front of me is the daughter of my only son, Frank." My grandfather said as the entire crowd listened to his every word, and I could feel my entire face is blushing since I am not so used to being the center of attention.

"With great joy and pride, I want to take this opportunity to welcome my only granddaughter, Madeline, and her husband, Hunter, and his entire family. Beginning tonight, I am proud to say that I gained a handsome grandson; please join us here on stage, Hunter." My grandpa added, and I tried to control my emotions as I looked at my husband walking towards us.

The moment he joined us on the stage, Hunter took my hand right away, and I could tell the entire crowd got so excited to see us, and they were giving us their welcoming smiles, and I realized tonight was one of the happiest moments in my life.
