Loving Madeline-Chapter 92 - The Playroom

Madeline's POV

"What?" I asked Gina, and I am already lying on her bed wearing a silk nightdress that I borrowed from her. I like it since it fits me and looked decent.

"You heard me; your husband is outside. He is waiting for you at the parking lot." Gina responded.

"But why is he here?" I asked.

"I don't know, Maddie, but I think because he has all the right to look for you because you are his wife, for God's sake, Maddie, go there and don't let Hunter wait for you. I know you feel like jumping right now that your husband came." Gina declared, and if it is only another day, I would be ecstatic. I still feel excited to meet Hunter, but I can't stop thinking about Rebecca. I stood up and walked outside from Gina's room, and I didn't bother to put on a robe since I know my nightdress is presentable.

My heart is thumping hard on my chest while I can't stop myself from feeling the butterflies in my stomach when I come out from the main door of Gina's house, and I find my husband leaning on his car. My pulse is racing as I realized why does he need to look so hot and handsome. He was only wearing a white shirt and black cargo pants, and his hands are in his pockets, and he looked so boyish, and you can never tell he is the CEO of the Divenson Mining Corporation.

I walked towards him while I can feel my entire body is trembling. Even until now, I am still starstruck by his handsomeness and hotness. He was staring at me intently, which made me have goosebumps in my entire body. And Hunter stepped closer to meet me halfway. And he stopped his steps the moment we are an inch away from each other that I can smell his masculine scent that will always drive me nuts, and it will make me more drawn to him.

I felt so guilty when my husband told me he couldn't sleep because he was alone in our bed, and Hunter was thinking about me and how I wish he will be like this forever. I wanted him to continue to miss me if I am not beside him on the bed.

The moment Hunter captured my lips and kissed me tenderly, I temporarily forgot I have a big problem that can ruin my relationship with my husband. I can't stop myself from kissing my husband back with intensity. How I miss his eager lips, the warmth of his breath, and the sensation I feel every time we are kissing and touching each other. I can feel the electricity that consumed my entire body, and I want to say yes when Hunter asked me to come home with him, but I can't sleep with my husband tonight, or else he will find out that something is bothering me.

"I still want to stay here with Gina. Can I sleep here?" I begged my husband, and I felt so relieved when I saw him nodded his head. Hunter gave me his permission to sleep over at Gina's place. And I can stop myself from giving him a sweet smile, and it warms my heart when he looked at me full of longings and affections, and I can see his love for me in his eyes.

"Hey! I thought you would get back and get your things because I saw how much you kissed Hunter." Gina declared the moment I get back to her room, and I felt my face blushed.

"You were spying on me?" I asked, and she shrugged her shoulders.

"I wished to come home with my husband, and I am just glad I was able to control my face; I don't know how I am going to live my life again, Gina; why do I need to find out the truth." I said.

"You have been looking for answers, Madeline, and you only want to discover Clark Divenson's secret without realizing it will have a significant impact on your relationship with his son. I am sorry it happens to you. If there is only another way to stop all this from happening, I already did it for you, but you need to face reality, Madeline, no matter how painful it is, and don't worry, I will always be here for you, Maddie." Gina declared, and I hugged her tightly.

"I know, and thank you, Gina, you are my constant rock. I don't know what will happen to me without you. It seems everyone close to me is destined to be separated from me." I said.

"Hey, it is still too early to feel so miserable. It would help if you were strong, Madeline. I know you are not afraid of anything; you can face the world with your head high even though you feel like the world is against you." Gina said, and I smiled at her and lay on the bed. She switched off the lights and turned on her lampshade.

The following morning I got up early, and I go to the nearest twenty-four hours cafe, and I felt so glad that my mother-in-law is already waiting for me at the far-end corner of the coffee shop.

"Good morning, mom!" I greeted her and kissed her on the cheeks, and as usual, Hunter's mom looked stunning as ever.

"Hi, Madeline, I feel so happy that you texted me to meet you, but I am just curious why you want to meet me here and not in your house. What is wrong, Madeline?" She asked, and I can see the concern on her face. And I need another soul to release my worries, and I know she can help me deal with this situation. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

"Hunter is now in love with me," I said, and her face lights up, but it fell when she realized the expressions on my face.

"My son finally fell in love with you, yet you looked like you are inside a funeral parlor right now. I think you would be happy if Hunter will fall in love with you. I didn't expect you will become this miserable." She declared, and we stop talking when our order came.

"I am happy about Hunter's feelings for me, but I learn that Rebecca is alive," I said, and Leticia's face paled.

"Who told you? How did you know about it, Madeline?" She asked.

"It was only accidental my friend brings me to the Mental Care Homes to do some charity works, and I meet her." I lied because I don't want Lucinda to be dragged into this situation.

"Oh, I see; I am sorry, Madeline if I lied to you; I am afraid to tell you anything because if Clark finds out, I don't know what he is going to do with me." Hunter's mom said.

"I love Hunter this much, and even though he fell in love with me, I know if he will learn his first love is still alive, he will choose her over me, and I pity Rebecca, but before I will make a decision, I want to confide with you, because this thing will make you torn between your husband and son," I said.

"Madeline, I have been carrying this guilt for ten years, I don't have the heart to tell my son about it, and right now, I don't care if Hunter will loathe me forever, at least before I die, I will finally let go of this remorse. I don't think Hunter will put his father behind bars, but I am sure he will despise his father. But my husband needs to answer for his sins. It is about time." She said, and I smile.

"Thank you, mom," I said.

"How about you, Madeline? Are you sure to do this? I mean, are you willing to face the consequences?" Leticia asked, and I slowly nod my head.

"I don't have a choice, Mom, this is the only way I can help my husband to get over his guilt, and I want him to be free from his nightmares," I said.

"Oh, Maddie, I feel you are in pain, and I am so sorry if you need to undergo this kind of situation because of us, I know it was Clark's idea, but I am accessory of the crime because I didn't dare to tell my son the truth. He needs to learn all about it because he was living his life in guilt." She said, and I nodded. We talked about my plan, and I don't have a choice but go home and face my husband.

The moment I arrived I couldn't find anyone, not even my husband. I slowly go to our room, but he wasn't there either. I know he is home because it is Sunday, and he told me he would be at home waiting for me. I put my bag in the drawer, take a shower and change into a simple dress. I walked around the house until I find the secret room door is ajar, and my curiosity is killing me, that I can't stop myself from getting closer, and my heart is racing because I don't want to find my husband sleeping in Rebecca's room calling her name. Even though I know where I stand in his life, it would still be painful for me.

I touched the doorknob and pushed the door, and my eyes widened when I found my husband standing at the center of an empty room; all of Rebecca's stuff was gone, and my husband is holding a paintbrush in his hand, and I saw painting materials on top of the newspapers scattered around the room. I realized my husband is not alone, and it was late for me to go back to our room because he turned around and find me standing at the door. His face lit up when he saw me, and a beautiful smile spreads across his handsome face.

"Hello, my sweet wife!" He greeted me, and it is impossible not to return his beautiful smile.

"Hey!" I said as I stepped closer to him.

"I know it is still early, but I want to make this room ready. I want to make this room a playroom for our babies." He said, and my face fell, but I tried to mask the pain with a broad smile.

"Wow, this is perfect," I replied, and he takes me into his arms.

"I can't wait to have children with you, Madeline. I love you, and I am excited to raise our future children together.." He said, and he hugged me tightly, and I can no longer hold the tears to stream down on my cheeks.
