Hunter’s POV

I could feel the heaviness of my heart as I boarded one of the private planes of Hector Grant and how I wanted to fly with Madeline and my son. I couldn’t wait when Frank would be old enough to travel with us, and I will make sure to bring them with me every time I am away for a business trip. I couldn’t even sleep during the entire ride, and I watched the photos of my wife and son on my phone the whole flight, and I couldn’t wait to call my Madeline.

The moment I arrived at the hotel and checked in, I called my wife right away, and I felt so frustrated when she didn’t pick up her phone, and I didn’t have a choice but to call my youngest sister, and I became more frustrated when Lily didn’t also pick up. And I called Gina, and I was hoping she would answer my call.

“Thank goodness, Gina, why is no one answering my call?” I asked.

“Hunter, relax; I am sorry; I am at the office right now.” She responded, and I couldn’t believe my luck.

“What? What are you doing there?” I asked, confused while still frustrated that I couldn’t speak with my wife.

“Madeline was doubtful about me, why I always stayed at the castle, so I take this opportunity to come since Lily and your mom are around, I don’t want her to find out she is my main job, and you are paying me a good amount of money just to accompany her, and I don’t want her to hate you.” She responded, and I released a heavy sigh.

“Thank you, Gina, but please don’t stay there for eight hours; you have to get home before dinner; I want you to have dinner with my wife, Gina, I don’t want her to feel alone, especially now that I am miles away from my wife,” I said, and my wife’s best friend was giggling.

“Oh, Hunter, to be honest, I felt so glad I wasn’t wrong for convincing Madeline for how many times never to stop loving you because I can feel it deep no my would that you will love her this way and thank you for loving my best friend unconditionally, and I could tell she didn’t make a wrong choice, he got the best husband in the world.” Gina declared, and I smiled.

“Gina, you know I have so many shortcomings with our marriage, I let Madeline suffer for how many years because of my past, and I felt so guilty until now,” I replied.

“Hey, stop thinking like that; I know you never abandon my best friend; you are always a good husband to her, Hunter, I have witnessed how you tried to win her love, and I am glad you fight your love for Maddie.” She stated.

“I need to go now, Gina, and thank you for being there for my wife,” I said.

“You are welcome, don’t worry, I will go home at 3:00 p.m,” Gina responded, and I said goodbye to her, and I redialed Madeline’s number, and after several rings finally she answered my call.

“Hello, my love!” She answered excitedly, and I wanted to go home immediately after hearing my wife’s soft voice.

“Madeline, I had been calling you, and I felt so worried why you didn’t pick up,” I said, and she was giggling on the other line.

“Hunter, I was with our baby boy, and I spent my day at Lily and mom’s room, and I forgot to bring my phone.” She said.

“You miss me already?” She asked.

“Yeah, I am missing you like crazy, Maddie, and I don’t want to attend the Summit anymore, especially now that I heard your sweet seductive voice,” I said.

“Do you know I am now lying in our bed naked because I am on my way to the bathroom to take a bath?” She said, and I needed to close my eyes as I imagined my wife’s glorious body, and I collapsed on the extra king-sized bed, and I am sure I am going to miss my wife more tonight.

“Don’t do this to me, Madeline, and I couldn’t make

love with you on the phone because I need to attend dinner tonight with some of your grandfather’s friends, and I only have minutes to spare,” I said as I grunted under my breath, and I felt so glad I didn’t use video call, or my wife is killing me softly.

“Don’t worry, my love, we can make love until morning the moment you will come back.” She said.

“Stop doing that, Madeline or I will end up with a boner facing your grandpa’s friends, and I don’t want them to think the new CEO of Hector Grant’s company is a pervert,” I said, and the laughter of my wife makes me miss her even more.

“It would be your loss, Mr. Davidson, and I am willing to relieve that bulge in between your legs.” She said while giggling.

“Mrs. Davidson, I will make you pay for this, for making me this hard, and I needed to attend dinner; how can I hide this, Madeline?” I asked, and I loved how naughty she sounded right now, and I don’t think I can finish the one-week activity without coming home to Neospoli.

“I am sorry for teasing you, my love, I miss you so much, and please, you better stop your erection now, and the best thing you can do is take a cold bath, my love, so that the heat will subside next time you better call me when you are in your way to sleep at night, or else you will always end up having an erection every time you call me because I can’t stop myself from teasing you.” She responded.

“When did you become so naughty, Madeline?” I asked while smiling like an idiot as I thought about my wife’s lovely face.

“Since the day I married you, Hunter.” She answered, and I was laughing so hard.

“I love you, Maddie,” I said.

“I love you too, Hunter.” My wife replied.

“I need to go now, my love; please kiss our little boy for me.” I declared.

“Of course, please, take care, my love,” Madeline said, and I ended the call after I said goodbye to her. I needed to have a bath to cool down the heat of my entire body, and I took a quick shower and I changed into my black suit. I remembered Madeline again as I put on my necktie, she will always tie my necktie every morning before I go to work, and now I have to do it on my own.

I walked to the elevator and made my way to the hotel’s main restaurant, I was met by one of Hector’s friends, and he brought me to their table. I had a great conversation with them, and I felt glad they welcomed me warmly. They invited me to come with them into one of the clubs nearby to have a drink, but I passed because I wanted to see my son before I went to sleep, and I felt relieved they understood when I told them I needed to call my wife since she had just given birth to our son.

The moment I returned to my room, I realized it was already late if I called Madeline back, and I felt guilty that I hadn’t answered her call since I could see many missed calls on my screen, and I was so busy talking with his grandpa’s friends. I undressed my clothes and took a warm bath, and I collapsed on the bed after taking a shower. I was looking at the ceiling for a long time, and I got up from my bed and brought my phone with me as I walked towards the balcony, and I called the only person I could call any time of the day.

“Hunter! Why are you calling me at this hour? Is Maddie alright?” Calixto asked right away, and I couldn’t stop myself from smiling.

“I don’t know if I am going to feel hurt or happy; why is it every time I call the first question that will come

out your mouth, is Madeline alright? Is there a chance you will ask me if I am alright, Cal?” I asked, feeling hurt.

“I am sorry, Mr. Divenson, I couldn’t stop myself from worrying about Maddie all the time, and even now that she became one of the richest women in Neospoli, her life is still in danger because of 

your father.” He said, and I could feel the worries in his voice.

“It is okay, Cal; I am glad there is someone out there who cares about my wife as you do,” I responded.

“Where are you, and why are you calling this old man at this hour when I was already sleeping peacefully.” He declared.

“And why did you answer my call?” I asked.

“Because I could see the name, Hunter, and you know I could never ignore you, son. I hope everything is fine with you and Maddie.” He answered.

“Of course, but I am not fine; I am in Europe right now, and I am missing my wife and son badly, Cal, and I don’t think I can stay here for one week, I don’t want to attend the SUMMIT, and all I want to do is go home to my family.” I declared.

“Hunter, I understand what you feel right now, and I experienced that when I was away from

my family when I was so busy doing my job as your father’s assistant, and I didn’t complain to your father because that time, it was my job. Your father hired me because of that reason, to be there for him every time he needed me,” Calixto said, and I suddenly realized all the times he came with me on business trips when I was still single.

“I am sorry, Cal; now I understand what you mean when you told me you needed to come home for your wife and kids, and I get it now, thank you for your time, Cal, and I am sorry for disturbing you; at this hour,” I responded.

“It is okay, Hunter, you know you can call me anytime, you go to sleep now, son, and before you know it, you will be home with your wife and son in Neospoli.” He said, and I ended the call with a beautiful smile on my face, and I have always known Calixto will always help me feel better. And he was right. I can be with Maddie and Frank soon, and I couldn’t believe I just got here, but I already wanted to come home.
