Chapter 184 - Life Is Beautiful

Madeline's POV
"Tell me, Madeline, am I a bad mother to my son? For keeping that secret from him for so long? I don't want Hunter to know about it. I know for how many years Clark tried his best to be his father, even if he was faking it. I know Hunter can feel it that even if my husband tried to show him, he was his favorite amongst his children, it was all an act since Clark only married me for the money, and I know he hated Hunter because he was his eldest son, and he will always be the heir." Leticia Divenson declared, and I don't know how to comfort her.
"No, of course not, mom. You are not a bad mother. Hunter knew how much you love her, and I believe those things happened for a reason, and your father only wanted to protect your family's reputation at that time, and he also wished Hunter to have a dad." I responded.
"Maddie, I know everyone in our society thought I was the luckiest because I was the Heiress of my father's company, they didn't know how hard my life was when I fell in love with Clark, and for so many years, I waited for him to fall in love with me, but it didn't happen until the day I filed the divorce." She said in between her sobs.
"Our marriage was only for the show, and I hate that I allowed him to use me. I should have stood up against my parents and raised Hunter alone, but I don't have regrets that I gave birth to all my children. Even if Charlotte chose to side with her father, I still love her because she is my daughter." Leticia continued, and I pity her. I had a hard life growing up, but I never expected that she had that kind of life because she is a daughter of a business tycoon, and I thought she never experienced any hardships, and now that I learned the truth, I am hurting for her.
"And because of my love for my husband and as a sign of respect to him, I allowed him to change the name of the company since I know he will become the father of my future children, and he also became the father of my unborn child." She continued, and I let her talk because I could tell Hunter's mom was hurting, and she was just so good at hiding her genuine emotions, and she needed someone to talk to, especially at this moment.
"At first, I was so lost. Hunter's biological father died, and I love him so much. He also doesn't belong to our society. He wasn't rich, but I never mind, and I never expected that he would die before I could tell him I was pregnant. My father was disappointed with me when he found out my driver was the father of Hunter, and then that was the time he proposed to Clark since he knew my husband was crazy for money and power, and he didn't want me to give birth to my child without a father." She said, and I wonder what happened to Hunter's biological father why he died.
"He looked like Hunter, tall and very handsome, and I never expected I would fall in love with Clark after we got married. I thought I would never fall in love again. Well, love is a mystery, and now I hated myself that I married Clark, and the worst part was I fell for him, but I felt so glad that finally, I was able to move on. And now I am so worried about your safety, Maddie." Mom said.
"You don't need to worry about me, man, and I know Hunter will protect me from harm; besides, I am not afraid of your husband," I replied, and he gave me a weak smile.
"Mom, now that I know what you have been through, I can feel your pain, and I wish you will finally become happy." I declared.
"My happiness now is my children, especially my coming grandchild in your tummy, Madeline. But I can't stop myself from worrying about Charlotte, and I am hoping one day she will come back without hurting you." Mom said, and I smiled at her.
"Don't worry, mom, I will take care of this little one, and I will do everything I can to protect our baby, and I hope they won't do anything to my baby and me," I replied.
"Of course, I know, Maddie, you will do everything for your child." She responded, and I felt so glad that mom is smiling at me now as she stood up from her seat.
"Madeline, thank you for listening to me, don't worry, I know Hunter tightened the security of this house, and every time you get out, I know he always sends his men to protect you." She added, and I came closer to mom, and I hugged her.
"You can talk to me always, mom," I responded.
"Thank you again. I want to ask you a favor, and please go to your husband now, Madeline. I know Hunter needed you this time." Mom said.
"Of course, don't worry mom, I will go to my husband, and I know he was still shocked, but I am sure he understood you, mom responded, and together we walked out of the library, and I climbed the stairs, and I was panting when I reach on the top of the stairs, I slowly walked towards our bedroom. And I felt worried when I couldn't find my husband inside, and I didn't have a choice but to get out and look for Hunter all over the house.
I searched him in the nursery and the playroom, but I couldn't find him anywhere, and I realized maybe he was downstairs. And I felt so relieved when I saw him at the bar.
.
"Hey! Are you alright?" I asked after I came to him, and when he raised his head, he looked at me with full of tenderness and love on his face. He was still sitting at the barstool while I was standing beside him.
"Yes, I am now fine that you came to me. I am sorry, Maddie if I left you at the library." He said as he pulled me closer to him, and he hugged me right away.
"It is okay, Hunter. Mom was worried about you." I said, and he looked at me, and he touched my face.
"I know, I don't want to walk out just like that, but it was too much for me to process since I couldn't believe mom kept it from me for how many years," Hunter said, and I can feel his pain through his voice, and it was time for me to look at my husband with love and too much affection. And he drank his scotch in one gulp without taking his eyes from me, and then he stood up from the stool.
My husband took my hand as we walked out from the bar, and then we climbed the stairs together, and I knew we still needed to go to the office tomorrow. We take a warm shower together, and I can tell my husband is not okay since I found him staring into space after putting on our dress.
He was sitting at the edge of our bed. I want him to forget for a while because I understand how he feels right now after knowing the father he used to know for how many years was not his biological father, and I want to help Hunter in any way I can, and I want my husband to feel good.
I walked closer to Hunter after I dried my hair, and I straddled him, and I kissed him on the lips, and I know I caught my husband off-guard. Still, I felt my husband deepened our kiss immediately, and I smiled when his hands got rid of my nightgown immediately. He showered me with hot kisses that made ms so hot right away, and I can feel the aching of my womanhood when I felt my husband's erection rubbed on my sensitive parts, and it feels so good, and I felt like my husband's scent hypnotized me because he smelled so good.
He put my naked body into the bed, and we were kissing and touching each other like we were doing it for the first time. I could feel my entire body was on fire, and I was screaming my husband's name when he took me gently. It was pure bliss and torture, and it was one of the best intimate moments I shared with Hunter.
"Thank you, Madeline, I know you were only trying to distract me with what I am thinking, and I just want to inform you, you nailed it, my sweet wife." He said, and I smiled sweetly at him.
"I didn't do it to distract you, I miss you, and I couldn't get enough of you." I said, and I could tell he was looking at me with wonder, and the amusement on his face made me feel so happy.
"Don't you know that you look so hot right now? I like the way you tease me, Maddie, and I am open for a wonderful distraction every night." Hunter said, and I could feel my face blushed.
"Okay, I will do it every night if that is what you want my, dear husband," I responded, and he chuckled as he pulled my naked body closer to him, and I know we are still both panting after our beautiful lovemaking.
"Thank you, Madeline. I know you will always be a reminder that life is so beautiful, and I have to fight because I need to protect and provide for you and our baby. I love you, Madeline." He said and kissed me once again on my lips, and I felt so happy to hear my husband's words.
