Loving Madeline

Madeline's POV

As we got out of the cabin, I could feel the shivering of my limbs; just thinking about the pirate's word made me have knots on my stomach, even if there was a part of me that wanted to see a real pirate. I held Karen's arm because I was afraid that the waves would go crazy again and I would stumble into the floor since I knew I couldn't risk my pregnancy. After all, I had to protect my child because, as of now, the baby in my womb is the one who gave me the strength and courage to fight and to hold on, and most of all, my child was the reason my sanity is still intact.

I never thought I would experience this kind of life, I underwent fire, and now I have to face the sailors feared the most, the pirates. I have heard about different tales about them, and now I will experience it first hand, and I wish the pirates would spare my life. Maybe they can help me to come home to my husband. I could see the dark ocean on my side, which gave me knots on my stomach; while I was gripping the railing tightly, that I could feel my hand hurts. 

The moment we get inside the mess hall, I can see men and women drinking ale, and they are all laughing, and some are singing while the others are dancing. And all set of eyes are on us, I can see captain Noah was among them, and he stood up the moment he saw us.

"Here they are!" Noah said, and I was shocked when he came to my side immediately, and he took me into his arms, and he captured my lips. He kissed me tenderly on the lips in front of the pirates, and I tried to push him right away from me, but he was holding my waist tightly that he didn't even budge, and I felt his mouth move to my ear..

"You need to act as my wife Madeline, or the captain will take you." He said, and I was shocked, and I felt glad I didn't slap Captain Noah right away, or his plan would no longer work. He only kissed me to make the pirates believe I was his wife, and I gave him a beautiful smile. He held my hand and brought me to the middle-aged man looking at me with desires while holding his wooden mug filled with ale.

"Captain Wyatt, this my wife, Madeline, Maddie. I want you to meet the good man who asked his men to help us." Noah introduced me to the captain, who didn't even give damn respect to Noah as he traveled his eyes from my head to my face with admiration and lust down to my breasts. I felt horrified when I saw him lick his lower lip as he continued to gaze on my cleavage, and I felt captain Noah's arm tighten around my waist. I could tell the pirate captain is handsome even if he has an evil demeanor.

"Now, I realized why you didn't introduce your wife to me, Captain Noah, and you let her stay on the cabin all this time. You have a young and beautiful wife. Are you afraid I will take advantage of your wife? Such a clever boy, and now I want to give you an offer, give me your wife, and I will never ask any amount of money from you, Noah. I can even provide you with a large amount of money in exchange for your wife." He said, and my eyes widened in disbelief. How could he even say that? And I wonder what would happen to me if Noah didn't claim me as his wife.

"Captain Wyatt, I am sorry, and I am begging you, don't take my wife. She is pregnant with our first child. I promise to give you the money that you needed." Noah pleaded with the pirate captain, and Wyatt's laughter reverberated the entire hall.

"Oh, my bad, I don't like to have a child on my ship, but I can't stop myself from the need to have your wife, Captain Noah." He said, and I felt Noah release me from his hold that caused me to panic, and I was surprised when I saw Noah kneeling before Wyatt.

"Please, captain, I promise to double the amount as long as you will spare my wife; you have beautiful women on board on your ship." He said while his head was down, and I never felt so touched in my entire life, and I couldn't thank captain Noah enough for doing this heroic act for me.

"If you want, you can take me instead of Madeline, captain Wyatt." I was stunned when I heard Karen's voice behind me, and I couldn't believe these two siblings I hardly knew would make sacrifices for me. And I saw the face of the evil man lit up as he looked at Karen with desires and his smile broadened when Karen stood in front of him and raised the hem of her dress higher so that the captain of this ship would have the perfect view of her smooth thighs.

"Oh, what a lovely offer, my dearest, and who are you?" Captain Wyatt asked.

"I am captain Noah's sister," Karen answered confidently, and I felt my legs weaken, and I could see the amusement on Captain's Wyatt face as he looked at Captain Noah, and then he looked at me.

"Wow, I couldn't believe you care for your sister-in-law so much." Wyatt declared.

"Family matters to us, Captain Wyatt; I can give you what you want, but you have to promise me you will allow us to leave this ship safely, and you will never hurt my sister-in-law and her child," Karen demanded, and the captain was nodding his head.

"Of course, later tonight, you should come to my cabin." He said, and Karen nodded at him.

"Of course, you are going to have the best night of your life." She said with confidence while I felt so sick as I looked at the wicked captain.

"You may stand up now, Captain Noah, and take your wife with you to have your dinner. He said to Noah, but his eyes were gaping at Karen's face.

"While you, my dear, have a lot to talk about." Captain Wyatt added. I could tell he was now under Karen's spell, and I wanted to tell Karen never to do it, but the way she handled the situation made me feel so proud of her. And I couldn't thank them enough for saving me. I am nothing to them, I am only someone they need to transport to the other side of the globe, but they are willing to protect me. 

"Have your meal now, Captain Noah." Captain Wyatt said while I could see Noah stood up, and he took my hand. I could tell he was keeping his anger at bay because the pirates surrounded us. There is nothing he can do as of the moment but watch his sister getting intimate with the captain, and before he took me to the table to eat our dinner, I saw Captain Wyatt claim Karen's mouth as he pulled her to sit on his lap. I wanted to do something for Karen, but I am pregnant, and there is nothing I can do to make things right.

I wanted to cry for Karen because I felt so guilty that she had to undergo this predicament because of me. I don't want other people to suffer on my behalf. Karen doesn't need to be with him, and I felt so angry with Captain Wyatt.

"Hey, don't worry about my sister, Madeline." I heard Captain Noah whisper in my ear, and when I looked at him, I could see the sadness in his eyes, and I could tell he felt so helpless at this moment. His handsome face was in deep sorrow, and I couldn't take away my eyes from him.

"I am sorry, and I can't thank you enough, Captain Noah." I mumbled, and he shook his head.

"It is nothing, Madeline. I need to take you to Choraz, and I have to do something to stop him from hurting you. I know you are pregnant, and I felt responsible for you." He said in more than a whisper as he put food on my plate.

"You need to eat first, and then I can take you back to your cabin because the men are giving you a stern look, and I am afraid if they will do something terrible to you." He said, and I nodded my head. We moved to the corner and took a seat, and we both ate in silence. I saw one of the women bring a plate full of food towards Karen, and I could tell Karen was trying her best to pretend she was having a good time with the captain pirate as I could hear her laughter all over the room as the party continued.

I don't have the appetite to eat, but I need to have something for my baby. This craziness is making me feel so terrible, and I hope we can reach the shore soon. The evil captain helped us on board his ship by asking Noah for a certain amount of money, and now he wanted to take Karen into his bed, and I wondered if Karen had some plans or just wanted to get laid. But I know I should never think about the latter since I know Karen is doing all this for my sake, and I could tell she was a good actress by pretending she was enjoying her precious time with the pirate captain.

I felt so lucky that I am still alive because of Captain Noah and Karen. I will forever be grateful that I met them, and because of them, I have another chance to be with the love of my love, Hunter, and as I ate my meal, I couldn't stop myself from thinking about my hot and handsome husband and my eyes watered as I realized how much I miss him.
