Chapter 114 - The Center Of My Universe

Hunter's POV

I was driving my car in high spirits, and I couldn't stop myself from thinking about my wife. Madeline looked so cute when she pretended that she was still sleeping this morning. When I found her checking me out with her half-closed eyes, it makes me feel so hot, and I don't want to leave my wife, but I have an early meeting with clients, and my phone had been ringing since I got up from bed, and sometimes I hate Cal. But I have to admit I like his competence.

I can't stop thinking about Madeline's beautiful face and the way she smiles at me. I felt so happy and blessed to have her in my life, and I am confident that Madeline is the only woman for me. I couldn't stop thinking about the episode this morning that until now, I couldn't stop myself from smiling like an idiot. 

The moment I got inside my car and sat at the driver's seat, I realized I left my laptop, and I cursed under my breath because I am already late. I hastily get out of my car, and I became so late when I saw one of the car services from the Divenson mansion, and I smiled the moment Tony and Cerila climbed out from the car.

"Good morning, Mr. Divenson, " They both greeted me, and I smiled at them and walked closer to them.

"Good morning, Tony and Cerila," I replied.

"Tony, thank you so much for taking Cerila here early this morning," I said.

"You are welcome, Mr. Divenson, that is my job, and I should take my leave now, Sir, since I need to run an errand for your dad." He said, and he quickly gets back to the car, and waved his hand to us, and drove away from our house, and I turn to face Cerila.

I am so glad my mom sent her. I begged her last night to send Cerila here because I got so worried about my wife. I know Madeline likes Cerila, and because I am aware that for the coming days, I will be going home late or worse, I can't come home because Rebecca will need me, but I already ask Cal's help. At least if he is with me, he can help me look out for Rebecca.

"Cerila, I want to thank you for coming even though it is short notice," I said, and I smiled at her, and I can tell that she is shy. I told her that I want her to accompany my wife because even though we have many housemaids in the house, I can tell Maddie is not comfortable with any of them.

"You are welcome, Mr. Divenson, and it is my pleasure to serve your wife." She responded. And I bring her inside the house, and I showed her to her room.

"Mr. Divenson, I think there is a mistake. I can't sleep here in this guest room; I will stay at the servant's quarter." She said sheepishly, and I can say that she is shy and shocked that I took her to one of the guestrooms, but I shook my head.

"Cerila, there is no mistake. You will be staying in this room because I want you to be closed to the master's bedroom at all times, so every time Madeline needs you, you can attend to her needs immediately. You don't need to do the household chores, Cerila, because I already assigned a person to do that. All I want from you is to accompany my wife." I declared, and I can tell it shocked her because Cerila is used to doing household chores in the Divenson mansion.

"Thank you, Mr. Divenson." She replied, and I am so glad now that Madeline will not be alone anymore, and I will not feel so guilty if I will come home late, but I will try my best to go home and sleep beside my wife every night. 

I don't want my wife to spend her nights alone in this big house, and that is why I asked Cerila to come and live with us. We don't have housemaids who will sleep in the house because they all come home to their own houses that I provided for them inside our property because I want to have privacy with Madeline, but I can call them 24/7, and it is part of their contract, but it seldom happens. Once we come home, we never called any of them after we eat dinner, and they will clean the dining table and the kitchen and leave the house, and my butler is the one who manages all the affairs in our home. 

I want to make sure that my wife is living like a princess because I know how much she suffered growing up, and having three different part-time jobs in one day is too much for her, but she endured everything so she can help her aunt pay off their debts. And I am just glad I found her, or else I am still now suffering from the past heartaches, and I will never learn to love again. And, of course, I will never find out that Rebecca is still alive if not for my wife.

I hurried back inside our room after I showed Cerila to her room, but the moment I opened the door of the master's bedroom, I couldn't believe I will find my wife dancing on the dance floor naked, and damn! She looked so hot, and the way she swayed her hips while her beautiful perfect breasts were wobbling made me felt so aroused, and I can feel my manhood throbbed under my pants. 

She turned me on beyond she can imagine, and when I looked at Madeline, her face turned bright red, and I want to claim my wife right then and there. Still, I am very late, but it never stops me from taking her into my arms, and it feels so sensual to look at the gorgeous naked body of my wife while I am still fully clothed. But I can't ignore my phone that kept vibrating in the pocket of my pants. And it took a lot of my willpower to leave our room because of my desire to claim my wife.

And I realized that Madeline is now the center of my universe, and even though I know I have hurt Rebecca in the past, it made me realize that the thing that happened between us belonged to the past. And I understand that what I am feeling for Rebecca right now is a combination of pity and guilt. And I am the only one who can help her.

I need to help my ex recover, and I know it wouldn't be easy for me to tell her the truth, but I don't have a choice but to let her know that what we had was over because I am now married to Madeline. I don't know how I will tell her about it, but I couldn't risk hurting my wife again because I know I don't know what will happen to me if I lose her. Because deep inside my heart, I know what I feel for Maddie is more profound than what I felt for my ex. 

I am aware that I am so lucky that I married Madeline, and I am so proud to call her my wife. There is no woman like her, and I became more in love with Maddie when she told me all about Rebecca. And it made me realize that she is selfless, and she loves me so much that she is willing to risk losing me, and I am so thankful that she stayed and didn't walk away from me. I understand I have to talk with my father about what happened to Rebecca even though I am still angry with him, but my wife and Calixto begged me not to hurt him anymore.

"Mr. Divenson, why are you late?" I heard the booming voice of Calixto as I entered my office, and I am still smiling even though he yelled at me.

"I know, Cal. What can I do? I have a beautiful wife at home." I said, and I saw Cal's mouth hangs open, and he was speechless.

"Wow! Never in my life, I expected you to say something like that, and I want to jump right now if we don't have clients waiting for us in the boardroom." He said while he combed his hair through his fingers, and I almost laugh when I found him staring at me like he was seeing me for the first time.

"What? You need to tell me what do you want me to do now, Cal?" I asked as I looked at him, and I can tell he is still shocked by my reaction, and I am even surprised that I am still looking so calm and happy even though someone is waiting for me. I used to be so punctual because I don't like tardiness, and I always want to impress everyone, but right now, I am taking my time.

"You need to move your ass now, or you will lose your clients, Mr. Divenson." He said, and I just laughed at him, and I signaled him to walk ahead of me. When he started walking, I can't stop myself from smiling when he keeps on looking back at me, and I couldn't stop myself from laughing when I saw Calixto hit his frame into the door of the boardroom, and I felt guilty when I realized he was writhing in pain, and I quickly moved closer to him.

"Are you alright, Calixto? I can ask the clients to postpone our meeting." I seriously said, and his eyes widened.

"Are you really going to do that?" He asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Cal, you are important to me, and I don't want to push through this meeting without you," I said.

"Wow! I think you hit your head somewhere, Mr. Divenson. That is why you are acting so weird today." He said, and then he opened the massive wooden door and got inside the boardroom without saying anything. And I am left astounded by his words, and I followed him inside while shaking my head. 

And I realized why my assistant told me those words because he couldn't believe I will cancel a meeting for him. After all, it never happens before because I hate delays, and I realized my wife made me this way. I can't stop myself from thinking Madeline in the middle of my meeting, and I know I have to stop thinking about her or else this meeting will not have a positive outcome.. And I can't wait for this meeting to be over so I can go through with my work for the day so I can go home early because I am so excited to spend more time with my sweet wife.
