Loving Madeline

Madeline's POV

"Are you okay, Madeline?" Gina asked when I open my door, and I dragged her to get inside my room because I don't want Charlotte to find her outside my room. I wonder what happens to Parker after the incident because Hunter didn't tell me anything while I forgot to ask Leticia about him.

"Yes, I am fine." I replied and motioned her to sit down.

"Wow, I am dying to talk with you after we arrived last night. Still, I know your prince charming wanted to be alone with you, so I decided to wait until this morning. And when I was on my way, I saw your dragon mother-in-law be standing outside your door, and before she can see me, I turn around because I don't want to be the center of her attention. She could blow her fire on me. I couldn't believe you are living in this house with mean people like them." She said, and I am looking at her worried face.

"Well, Lily is adorable, and of course, Hunter. I know his father is the worst. I didn't hear him talk, but I can feel it, then I couldn't believe Hunter's mom, who looked like an angel, but she has a mouth of a devil, and Hunter's sister is the worst. And now I realize what you mean when you told me I could tell you what would be my reaction after meeting the rest of his family, and you were right, Maddie. I should never told you that you are the luckiest woman in the entire world because it was the opposite." Gina added, and I let my best friend continue talking because I can tell she was very shocked about what she witnessed last night.

"Hunter begged me to be here with you and try my best to convince you to stay, but I am having a second thought. I don't want you to have this kind of life, Maddie. You are happy even if you were trying your best to make ends meet, but at least I know there are times you were happy, especially every time we spend time together." She declared and looked at me in the eyes. 

"I know, Gina, it was hard living in this mansion, but I love Hunter, and Leticia Divenson came this morning to apologize." I said, and she raised her eyebrow, and I know I can trust Gina, so I told her everything.

"Wow! I wonder what kind of secret Hunter's father has. Are you going to tell Hunter about it?" Gina asked me, but I shook my head.

"No, not yet. Besides, I don't want to tell Hunter anything without evidence." I replied.

"Okay, so at least Hunter's mom is on your side now. What would be your plan, Maddie?" Gina asked, and I sighed.

"I don't know, Gina, but I need to do something to help Hunter and his family." I declared.

"Madeline, I know you care about Hunter, and you even love him, but I don't want you to be hurt, so you better be careful all the time, and as much as I want to run away from this place, I want to stick here with you because I can't leave you alone in this mysterious place." She replied.

"You don't need to do that, Gina. You can leave me here, and you don't need to accompany me. I can take care of myself." I responded.

"I know you are strong and brave, Madeline. Still, it is a pity because Hunter is paying me a reasonable amount of money plus the allowances, so I better take this opportunity so I can concentrate on my studies since I want to focus on my course, and if ever I can save a lot of money while working here in the Divenson mansion I will not have a part-time job on the first semester. Unlike you, your husband-to-be is loaded., so you don't need to work anymore." She declared.

"Well, I am planning to ask him if I could have a part-time job since I don't want to stay here the entire day doing nothing because I don't like the maids serving me; I have not been used to this kind of life, Gina." I responded.

"Well, you should get used to it because you are going to be a Mrs. Divenson soon, and you have to accept you are going to be a billionaire's wife, and you will be living like a princess, Maddie, you need to embrace your destiny." She said, and I looked at her with worries in my eyes.

"I don't know, Gina; I want to help Hunter, but I am so afraid if I will learn about Rebecca, and I am not sure if I can take it." I said.

"Madeline, she was from his past, and you are the present, and always remember we all live in the present day, not in the past." She said, and I looked at her with a smile on my face.

"Thank you, Gina, for your words of wisdom." I replied.

"So, are you ready to give up your virginity to Hunter? Are you excited?" She asked, and I blushed because I can't stop myself from recollecting the sweet moments I shared with Hunter.

"You blushed. Does it mean you already did it?" She asked, and I can tell she is excited to know the details.

"No, but Hunter did something to warm me up, and I felt ashamed because I asked him to take me." I said, and I can feel my entire face felt so warm.

"Oh, I see, so you already saw him naked?" She asked, and I can't stop myself from giggling as I nodded my head.

"That is good, and I can't wait when you experience the real thing; believe me, Madeline, it is a wonderful feeling to experience." She declared.

"I know, Gina, it must be so wonderful because I only have a taste of it, and I can't stop thinking about his touches and kisses." I said, and she smiled.

"Wow! You want to do it, and I can tell it by the way your face flushed just thinking about it." She stated.

"Yeah, but Hunter told me to wait because he wants it to be special for me, and he wants me to be ready, and he will take me after our wedding day," I replied.

"Oh, Madeline, Hunter is so romantic. No wonder you are head over heels with him." Gina responded, and I smiled.

Lily arrived in my room, and she brought her board games again. My conversations with Gina about Hunter and me stopped, and we played the entire afternoon laughing. And Leticia asked the kitchen staff to prepare tasty snacks as per Cerila. During dinner, I received a text from Hunter that he couldn't join us to eat supper, and he asked me to eat without him. We go to the dining hall together, and this time, I am no longer afraid to face his family, knowing his mother is on my side. I am shocked to find Leticia sitting alone in the dining hall.

"Lily, Madeline, and what is your name again, dear?" She asked Gina, and I am glad I already informed my best friend about Leticia Divenson's life, and she is no longer surprised to see her different side.

"It is Gina, Mrs. Divenson." My best friend replied politely.

"Welcome to our home, Gina, and I believed you are Maddie's best friend, thank you for spending your time with my future daughter-in-law. Have a seat, please, and Lily, come here sit beside me." She said, and I can tell Lily is thrilled that her mom showed me her hospitality.

"Charlotte will sleepover at Kaye's place while my husband is having a meeting with his friends, and Parker is on vacation, and he will be back on your wedding day, Madeline," Leticia said and looked at me meaningfully, and now I understand her.

"So, please help yourself, Maddie, and Gina. After this, I want to have tea with you girls." She declared, and I can't stop myself from beaming at her and how I wish Hunter is dining with us right now.

"Hunter will not be joining us for dinner because he needs to go to the site," I said to his mother, and she nodded.

"After your wedding, Maddie, try to ask Hunter to come home after office hours and begged him to spend more time with you. It would be nice to spend more time together after being married. Don't worry, I will also ask my son to spend more time with you. I know Hunter is hardworking, and he is so afraid if the company will collapse again, he spent time making it back to its former state. I know because of bad investments that my husband got involved with, our mining company suffer, and I am just glad Hunter did his best to save it from bankruptcy." Leticia added, and I am so proud of Hunter, and I can't wait to see him tonight. 

We continue eating our meal, and for the first time, I felt so happy inside the Divension mansion because I felt so at ease right now, and I can feel Leticia's motherly love, and I realized she is a good mother. We stayed in the family room drinking tea while Lily asked for a milkshake. The little girl is beaming the entire time.

"Mom, do you like Madeline now to be Hunter's wife?" She asked, and I almost spit the tea that I was drinking.

"Of course, Lily, I like Maddie the way you like her, and I can tell she loves your brother. That is why I want her to be Hunter's wife, and I can say your brother likes her too." Leticia replied softly, and Lily's face lights up with happiness.

"This is great, mom, thank you.." She said and hugged her mother, and I felt so touched by Lily's concern for me, and I realized I love her like my own sister, and I couldn't be happier.
