Chapter 201 - Missing Her Like Crazy
Hunter's POV
"Hunter, I am so sorry, I haven't seen Madeline; if I only knew she was there at the port, I would never ride the car without her." My sister was crying in my arms, and I was stroking her back, and there was no way I would show my sister that something was going on with Madeline.
"Hey, sweetheart, don't worry, I will go after my wife. She is fine, and nothing will ever happen to her." I said to her, and she released herself from my hold.
"I was hoping you wouldn't treat me like a child anymore, Hunter. I know what is going on, don't hide anything from me. When you were trapped on the mining site, Madeline informed me everything. Maddie treated me like an adult, so you better tell me what is going on, don't ask me to go and hide in my room if you want to talk with Gina because you are not the only one who loves and cares for Madeline." Lily said, and her words made me speechless.
"Don't forget I was the one who liked and loved her first, and I have all the right to know what is going on to my sister and friend," Lily said as she crossed her arms over her chest, and I wanted to laugh because I couldn't believe Lily had grown up so fast.
My sister was right among all my family members. She was the one who accepted Madeline on the first night that she came to the Divenson mansion. I couldn't blame my wife for sacrificing her own life for Lily because when Maddie felt so alone and lost, and there was no one she could turn to, she found comfort and solace at the arms of a twelve-year-old girl, and I know they have that kind of bond.
"I am sorry, Lily, I will never treat you like a child. I know you are a grown young woman now, so because you are a young woman, I want you to stop crying, Lily." I said.
"No, I can't stop knowing Madeline was out there because of me; big girls cry too, Hunter. If they are hurt and in trouble, they will cry." Lily said, and even if I felt so worried about my wife, my little sister made me feel better. I couldn't imagine what would happen to me now if Gina didn't bring Lily with her, and before I could speak, my mother was running into us, and she was crying as she got Lily into her arms. And just great, I couldn't stand looking at them because I could tell I would be crying too. After all, I am so damn worried about Madeline, and when I looked at Gina, she was in tears as well, and I couldn't believe that even Calixto was crying.
"It will never make you less a man if you cry, Hunter, " Cal mumbled, but I remained frozen on the floor as I waited for my mother and sister to stop from crying.
"Who took you, Lily?" I asked after her tears subsided.
"I don't know who they are, Hunter, first; when I was on the way to your villa, one of my classmates called me, and I asked Tony to dropped me off at the entrance of the school, and I told him I will call him if I need him to pick me up, and the next thing I know someone asked me to help her friend inside a van, and when I get inside the driver drove away from the school fast, and it took me a minute to understand what is going on." She said.
"I know I was such an idiot, but you know me, it is always in my nature to help those who are in need, and I am sorry, I thought they needed my help." She said as she lowered her head.
"Hey, it wasn't your fault, Lily. Don't worry about it, and we can take Madeline back." I said, and she was looking at me, and I could tell my sister was begging me to bring back my wife, and if there is only a way to do it right now, I will do it in a heartbeat because I can't sleep without Madeline.
"The people inside the van, can you still remember their faces?" I asked my sister, but she was shaking her head.
"No, because they were wearing hooded sweatshirts, and they covered their faces with masks." My sister said and felt disappointed, and when I looked at Roman and Cal, I could tell they were feeling the same way.
I turned my head to Gina, and I could tell she was trembling, and I know how much she cares for Maddie, and I couldn't imagine the guilt she was feeling right now. When she looked at me, her sadness mirrored with mine and Lily, and I didn't know where to start.
"Gina, I am not happy that you helped my wife escape, I know you only wanted to help your best friend, but can't you see what happened now?" I asked her, and I couldn't even look at her because it was too painful to stare at her knowing she helped my wife run away, and I am still angry with her, but she brought back my sister, and I should give her credit.
"I am aware that you are so angry with me right now, Hunter. And I am also angry with myself because I couldn't stop her from doing it, but saving Lily was only on her mind. She was so worried about your sister. I tried my best to stop her, but she insisted on going alone without me, and we fought actually, and in the end, I came with her to save Lily. I am so happy that Lily is safe, and I know she tried to run away from them, but I saw on the rearview mirror someone grabbed her, and she wasn't able to escape. I know what she was thinking. She thought she could escape." Gina said as she released a heavy sigh.
"Can you tell me the address of where you drop her?" I asked calmly.
"We made it to the south until we reached the Port of Zambo town, and the name of the boat is The Wildflower#18," Gina said.
"Lily, did you see the crew member of the boat?" I asked my sister.
"Yes, but I don't think they are your enemy Hunter, the captain talked to me, and I could tell he knew nothing about what was going on. He thought I was going somewhere on a trip with my family because that was what he thought, and when the guy who contacted the captain asked him to assist me in getting out of the boat, the man helped me out, but he didn't tie me or anything. The captain said he chartered goods, and if there is a family who will hire him to take them somewhere, he will offer a good price." Lily said.
"Did you happen to know the name of the captain?" I asked, but my sister only shook her head.
"I am sorry, Hunter, but I don't know his name, but T
the boat has a female crew member, and her name was Karen, and she was friendly." She said, and I opened my phone and searched The WildFlower#18 boat. I couldn't find anything with The Wildflower#18, and I sighed.
"I think we should get going now, and maybe they haven't left at Zambo port yet," I said to Roman and Cal, and they both nodded their heads.
"Hunter, here is Maddie's phone since the mystery man didn't allow her to bring anything," Gina said, and I could tell she had something to say.
"Gina, I know there is something you want to tell me. What is it?" I asked her, and she looked at me in the eyes before she spoke.
"Madeline said, she loves you so much, and don't worry, she is going to take care of your child. And she was hoping you could forgive her." She added, and I am holding my tears because right now I felt so exhausted, and I am so desperate to find my wife.
"Gina, I love my wife, and I will never get angry with her, especially that she saved Lily, but I was just hoping next time you can convince her that I am willing to die for her, she doesn't need to do it alone," I said, and I can see the pain on Gina's face.
"Yeah, I know how much you love her, and she knew that. And before you go, I want to tell you that the one who took Lily warned me if I will tell you everything, they are going to kill Madeline." She said, and I flared up with anger, and I moved closer to Lily.
"Have you changed your clothes?" I asked
my sister and she shook her head.
"Can you check if you find anything in your pocket or anywhere in your clothes?" I said.
"I found it, Hunter and I threw it when we were on our way, I know what they are up to, and there is no way I will let them know what we are talking about, and before I speak with Gina, I throw the device on the road, you don't need to worry about anything." She answered me, and I felt so relieved; and I had already asked Roman to check the plate number of the car they used, but I am sure it had a fake plate number.
"That is good, Lily. I know I can count on you." I said, and I took her into my arms.
"Am I forgiven?" She asked me, and I smiled and ruffled her hair.
"You have done nothing wrong, Lily, they want Madeline, and they used you because they know you are close to her," I said.
"Is dad behind all this?" She asked, and I don't want my sister to hate her father.
"We don't know who is behind this, Lily," I said.
"I hope dad has nothing to do with this because I can't forgive him." She said sternly.
"Please, be careful, Hunter. I don't know what will happen to us if something happens to you again." My sister declared.
"Yes, son, be careful, and I hope you can rescue Madeline," Mom added.
"Don't worry, mom, Lily. I will take care of myself. I will do everything I can to save my wife." I said, and we got out of the house after saying goodbye to them, and I couldn't stop myself from feeling so worried about Madeline, and I am missing her like crazy.
