Chapter 137 - My Mother’s Comfort
Hunter's POV
"I still have the right to kiss you that way because you are still my wife, Madeline. And I am still in love with you, and I know deep inside my heart I will always be in love with you. And I am aware I deserve that slap, but it is all worth it. To taste your sweet lips is like a drug to me; it gives me a satisfying feeling and euphoria that I couldn't explain. I know you are angry with me, my sweet Madeline, but I hope you will give me another chance to prove to you how much I care about our marriage and how much I love you." I said in a pleading voice, and I can see the flame of anger on her beautiful eyes that used to look at me with undeniable yearning and love.
"You don't know what you are saying, Hunter. I don't think you know the real meaning of love, and I don't even know if you knew what you feel right now because if you love me, you will never hurt me the way you did. And I am begging you to please let me go." She said, and my heart died as I watched my wife turned around and walked to the glass door going to the main entrance of the Divenson building.
As my wife walked away, she didn't realize she took my dying heart with her. I am doing my best not to run after her because I know she wants to be alone, but deep inside me, I know Madeline is still in love with me, and I let my wife go, but as I told her, it doesn't mean I will let her go away forever because I will do everything I can to win her back. I know it will never be easy on her part because I can see it in her eyes that she hated me, and the anger on her face is making me crazy. Because Madeline is an angel, and I made her this way. She had a hard life growing up, and when I married her, I promised to give her everything and make her happy, but as I looked at her fading figure, I realized I did the opposite; I made my wife's life miserable.
However, I can still see behind her anger there is still the love that she has for me, but all she can think of right now is how much I hurt her and make her suffer. I am aware that no words can alleviate and make Madeline feel better right now. I badly hurt her, and I know how much I crushed her heart, but it wasn't intentional. After all, I only did it because I love her. I don't want Madeline to know what is going on with Rebecca and me because I don't even have fucking idea how did she get pregnant.
I only woke up that day and found her naked beside me, but I don't remember anything. I never kissed Rebecca, only on the first time I saw her on the Mental Care Homes after knowing she was alive after ten years of feeling guilty about her death, because I know it was so wrong and unfair to my wife knowing I am so in love with her. Still, since I felt responsible about it, I never run away from it because I have always been a man with word of honor, but today I realized I had failed my wife. She is the most important person in my life, and I hate to think I am the reason for her misery instead of her happiness. I am hoping she will never file a divorce because I will never do it, and I have to use my money to have a chance to prove to her I was sorry and I was wrong.
"Where is your wife, Hunter?" Cal asked the moment I get back to my office.
"Please cancel all my appointments, Cal," I replied, and I sat down on my chair, and I closed my eyes, and I know Cal is frozen watching me with his hawk-like eyes.
"What are you doing, Calixto? I told you to cancel all my appointments for today and tomorrow, and please don't make me repeat myself, Cal." I said again.
"Okay, Mr. Divenson." He replied and got out of my office immediately, and I couldn't believe what happened. I never expected Madeline to ask for a divorce. And my outfit doesn't help me at all, she never looked at me the way she used to, and I can't believe this is all happening to me right now, and I wanted to go to my father and tell him he became successful with his plan, my wife left me. But still, I will never file a divorce against my wife unless I feel that Maddie doesn't love me anymore. I don't care if she is angry with me as long as I can still see and feel her affection towards me.
I know she doesn't want to talk to me, and she doesn't want to see me right now, but I can't stop myself from picking up my phone and dialed her number. But I became more frustrated because I realized my wife must have changed her number because I couldn't contact her anymore.
And there is no way that I am going to lose contact with her because whatever happened, I will still make her mine, and if ever she will file a divorce, I will do anything to make her mine again even if I look stupid in front of everyone.
"Cal, please get back to my office right now," I said to Cal over the trunk line number, and he got back to my office immediately, and I know he felt worried about Madeline.
"I already cancel your appointments for today and tomorrow, Mr. Divenson." He said the moment he stood in front of my table, and I raised my head and looked at him for a long time before I speak.
"Cal, please asked Roman to look after my wife and tell him to have someone to look over her place twenty-four seven because I can feel that my father will make something bad to her, I just want to make her safe, and I want you to contact a flower shop who will deliver a fresh bouquet to her house every day," I said. I can see the looked of surprise on his face.
"I know I made the stupidest mistake in my entire life, Cal, and that is hurting Madeline, and the price that I must pay is too high that I think it will cost my sanity." I declared, and I can see his concern on his face.
"Mr. Divenson, I think you should go home to your house so you can have a rest," Cal said, and I shook my head.
"You want me to go home to that empty house? And spend my entire time missing my wife like crazy; I'd rather stay here in the office and go home during nighttime and spend my time drinking at the bar so I can forget what happened today." I said.
"Of course, Hunter, it is better that you are here in your office, and at least you can sign some important documents, and you can talk to me. Besides, it is too early to get drunk, don't you think?" He asked, and I looked at him, and I don't know how to stop the aching of my heart.
"I need your help, and I need to have my wife back, Cal." I said, and he nodded his head.
"Of course, I know that, Hunter, but you have to brace yourself because I am sure it will take a lot of effort and convincing to make your wife come back to you. Don't force her. Give her a chance to heal herself and forgive you in the process, don't rush everything, or you will lose her forever." Cal said, and I felt more frustrated because I want to be with Madeline.
"And how I am going to do that, Cal?" I asked him in my confusion, and I want to get over the dilemma that I am feeling now.
"You have to make your wife love you again, and in order to do that, you have to trust me and follow everything I am going to tell you from now on." He said, and for the first time since Madeline left the office, I smiled at Calixto because I know I can always depend on him, and I am hoping this time he can work his magic and help me win back my wife's affection for me.
I was so shocked when I found my mom's SUV car in the parking lot when I arrived home, and I felt so glad she is here because I never felt so alone in my entire life. And I got confused when I get inside the house. I found suitcases on the living room floor, and I found her with my younger sister, Lily, on the sofa. My mom is crying, and my little sister is comforting her.
"Mom! What is wrong?" I asked with a trembling voice because I can't take another pain because I am already suffering right now, and looking at my mom, sobbing pierced my heart and added up the anguish that I felt.
"Hunter!" My mother exclaimed the moment she heard my voice, and she got up from her seat and runs towards me, and she tightly hugged me.
"I am so sorry, son, for being an irresponsible mother to you, and it took me a long time to realize to leave your father. He became so wicked, and I felt so glad I knew everything they have done to you. I want to file a divorce, and for now, allow us to stay here until we can find a new place, Hunter." My mom said, and I was shocked that my mom, who is so in love with my dad, finally decided to leave him.
"Of course, mom, you are always welcome here, and you don't need to find a new place." I replied as I stroked her back.
"Hunter, you are not the father of Rebecca's baby, it was your brother, Parker, and that is the reason why I left home." My mom said, and I felt like my entire world is spinning. I am just thankful that my mom is hugging me, or I might stumble on the floor as I try to clear my head. I can feel my anger boiling inside me, and I felt Lilys' hands on me as she was crying and hugging me on my back, and the comfort that my mother and little sister are giving me is enough to make me feel sane.
"I still have the right to kiss you that way because you are still my wife, Madeline. And I am still in love with you, and I know deep inside my heart I will always be in love with you. And I am aware I deserve that slap, but it is all worth it. To taste your sweet lips is like a drug to me; it gives me a satisfying feeling and euphoria that I couldn't explain.
