Loving Madeline

Madeline's POV

"Madeline, we need to go back to the hotel now; you need to rest, my dear, for the sake of your baby." My aunt Francine said as she caressed my back. Hunter has been bugging me to go back to the hotel so I can have a good sleep, and I could tell he asked my aunt to talk with me. I raised my head and looked at her, and I could see the smear of mascara on her eyes because, like me, she had been crying too.

"Aunt Francine, you know that I couldn't go to sleep unless I knew that grandpa was okay. My guilt is eating me up, knowing that I am here. I am alive while my grandfather is there fighting for his life because of me." I responded, and I could see how my Aunt's face fell.

"Madeline, it wasn't your fault at all. It was Kaye who shot your grandfather and not you, and it was his choice to save you. You know your husband tried to save you first, but dad pushed Hunter so he could protect both of you." My aunt said softly.

"He wanted to spare your lives knowing he is already in his prime. I think your grandpa thought he was already old, and he is ready to die, but he is tough, Madeline. Dad will survive." My aunt said with confidence.

"He wanted Hunter to become his successor in the business, and he got everything in his life, Maddie, and I think dad wanted to be called a hero before he dies." My aunt added, and I could tell if we were in a different circumstance. I could have laughed at my aunt's last words, and yes, he became my hero indeed.

"The operation went well, Ms. Francine, Madeline, Mr. Grant is now safe, and he is at the recovery room," Leo said; I was on my feet right away, and I could no longer stop the tears of happiness from falling on my cheeks, and my aunt hugged me right away.

"You can now go back to the hotel and come back tomorrow since Hector needed to rest, and you better visit him tomorrow afternoon so he can have enough time to rest." The butler said, and I nodded my head.

 When I turned around, I saw my husband on the corner waiting for me, and my heart skipped a beat when I saw him smile at me, and I realized how he makes me feel every time he gives me his sweet smile. And I realized as the day went by I became more in love with Hunter Divenson, and I felt so lucky to be surrounded by people who love me.

We all went back to the hotel, and I could tell everyone was relieved to know that my grandpa was safe. I couldn't stop staring at Clark and Charlotte as I realized I was sure they were the only ones who were not happy that my grandfather survived, and I could tell they were both waiting for an opportunity to harm my child and me. However, I am sure not now since My grandpa is still alive.

They should go back to Archois before they can hurt my aunt too. I am sure they will not do anything to Hunter unless my grandpa left everything to my husband and me, and of course, to our child.

I don't know how to tell Hunter about the information I gathered from Kaye, but he needs to learn the truth before it is too late. I don't want him to hate them again, but it seems his father and sister will never change. I am just glad Parker changed after he fell in love with Rebecca.

"Hey, are you now ready to go back to the hotel?" My husband asked after he closed the distance between us, and I nodded my head as I looked at him, and I could see the worries on his handsome face.

"I am sorry, Hunter, if I make you worried. I can't sleep knowing that my grandfather was fighting for his life, and knowing he is on the brink of death because of me made me feel so guilty." I declared, and he caressed my face.

"Hey, it is okay, my sweet, I understood how you feel, and I feel the same way. I could have saved him if I had gone to Kaye and disarmed her right away. But my mind was in disarray when I saw her pointed the gun in your head." My husband responded.

"I thought I would never experience that kind of emotion again; it was the kind of fear I felt when you were taken away from me with Kaye's men, they took you at Zambo, and the fire made it worse. And I don't want to feel that way ever again, but it seems we are destined to face this kind of test now and then, but I promise you, my love, I will protect you whatever it takes." He said as he looked at me with tenderness.

"Thank you, Hunter, I know," I said as I took his hand.

"Please, take me back to the hotel now," I said, and he beamed at me, and we proceeded to the parking lot, and my aunt called me that uncle Paul, and she would be going home to the castle by riding the chopper, and I asked my husband if we could go with them, and he gladly said yes.

The moment we arrived at the Grant castle, it was almost eight o'clock in the morning, and I felt so drained that I collapsed on the bed right after we got inside our room. I had an excellent sleep while I was sleeping on my husband's arm, and when I woke up, I found him staring at me, and I smiled at him feeling conscious, but he kissed me right away, and I was out of breath after he released my mouth. 

I could feel my baby kick my side, and I could see the happiness on my husband's face when I asked him to put his hand over my tummy, and my son was having a good time, and maybe he knew we were both excited to see him. 

"I can't wait to see you, buddy," Hunter whispered on my belly while he was caressing my bump, and our son kicked again, and I could feel slight pain. Still, nothing could stop me from feeling so happy as I felt him inside my womb, and it feels so lovely to be with Hunter at this particular moment. He looked so adorable right now talking to our unborn child.

And I was smiling at him as he helped me get up from bed, and we took a shower together. I smiled as he shampooed my hair and put conditioner after, and when he lathered my body with the body wash, I couldn't stop myself from giggling as I realized Hunter was taking good care of my needs.

My husband towel-dried my body, and he dressed me up while Hunter couldn't stop staring at my breasts as he bit his lower lip, and Hunter looked so sexy. I laughed when he couldn't take it anymore, and he took one of my nipples on his mouth, and he suckled it. I moaned as I felt him toy my nipples one after the other that I was gripping his hair. I could feel the sensation that traveled down to the sensitive parts between my legs, and I loved how my husband made my entire body feel so good, even if my tummy is now so big.

"You look so hot, Madeline; you are turning me on beyond you can imagine, but I know your aunt and uncle are waiting for us in the dining hall since we need to go back to the hospital and visit your grandpa." He said, and I smiled at him.

"Maybe later, my love," I said as he helped me get dressed, and he was the one who chose my maternity dress for today. I can still feel the aching between my legs, and I stifled a laugh when I could see the stiff rod of my husband between his legs. I couldn't deny I was so aroused as I stared at his manhood pointing at the ceiling, and I felt glad he put on his boxer briefs and then his faded jeans, and I am drooling over him when he put on his white shirt to complete his attire.

"You looked damn hot, hubby!" I exclaimed, and he was beaming at me.

"Really? Did I make you wet?" Hunter asked, and I blushed as I nodded my head, and he moved closer to me, and he took my hand, and he let me feel his erection, and I know my face turned redder.

"Good, I like it when I turn you on, Madeline, and I couldn't wait to make love with you later tonight." He said, and his voice fueled my desire to have him.

"Okay," I mumbled as he held my hand, and we walked out from our room and proceeded to the dining room.

"Did you have a good sleep, Madeline?" My aunt asked the moment we arrived at the dining hall, and my husband pulled out a chair for me and helped me sit down before he sat on his chair.

"Yes, Mom," I responded, and I could see the relief on her face.

"Good, I am sure your grandfather is excited to see you; please don't tell him you were upset and feel guilty that he took the bullet for you, Madeline." Aunt Francine said, and I nodded my head at her.

"How is he, Mom?" I asked her.

"Leonardo called me a while ago, and he said, father, was looking for all of us." She said, and I felt so happy that my grandfather was safe, and I beamed when I felt my husband take my hand under the table and squeeze it, and I could feel Hunter's love and concern for me through his sweet touch.

I couldn't be happier to have another chance to be with my grandfather and my family; if not for my grandpa, I could have died.. I am so grateful for this opportunity to share another day with my grandfather, and I am excited to give birth to my son, so my grandpa could finally see his great-grandchild.
