Madeline’s POV

“Aren’t you afraid grandpa would fire you?” I asked my husband when we were alone in our room, and he smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

“I don’t think your grandfather will do something like that, Madeline.” He responded as he came closer to me, and I could smell his masculine scent right away, which always drives me nuts and brings a beautiful sensation all over my body.

“Your grandpa wanted me to follow my heart, and he knew you would be happy if I come home to you and Frank.” He added, and I could feel the butterflies swarming on my belly when he put his hands on my hips.

“Do you miss me, my sweet Madeline?” He asked, and I teased him by shaking my head.

“Oh, really, but the way you kissed me a while ago on the beachfront tells a different story.” He mumbled and let his hands caress my arms.

“I miss you terribly that I wanted to be alone with you right away and taste your sweet lips.” He added while his hands roamed around my body and found my sensitive parts that made the cells all over my frame come alive. 

“I miss you so much, my wife.” He continued, and when he captured my mouth, I was lost in his world, and it elicited a soft moan coming from my mouth, and he chuckled.

“Aren’t you going to admit you miss me, my wife?” He asked, and his intense gaze made me nod my head.

“Of course, I miss you so much, Hunter, I wanted to beg you to come home, but I don’t want you to think I am a clingy wife,” I replied, and he laughed.

“I always wanted to be with you too, and I will never call you clingy, my wife. I couldn’t wait to kiss every inch of you, my sweet wife.” He whispered in my ear with a husky voice that brought a shiver in my entire body down to my spine, and when he found the hem of my dress and pulled it off, I couldn’t stop my heart from racing, and the anticipation of having my husband’s hard manhood inside me was killing me.

The way Ashton caressed and kissed every part of my body made me scream his name, and I know how it felt to be in his arms, but every time we made love, it still felt different, and I couldn’t get enough of my husband. We made love, and I could feel Hunter’s love for me with every kiss and touch of his hands.

“I love you, Madeline!” He grunted as he came, and I was panting after we shared another hot and steamy lovemaking. I couldn’t stop myself from smiling from ear to ear as I watched his naked body, and I couldn’t stop myself from biting my lower lip which would always drive him crazy, he claimed my hungry mouth once again, and we made out like teenagers until my lips got swollen, and we made love again.

“Wow, it was one way of showing me how much you miss me, my dearest husband,” I mumbled as I collapsed on the bed beside him after riding my husband.

“Of course, I want to show you more, but we still have dinner to attend to, and I don’t want to tire you, and we still have a long night later, my sweet.” He said in more than a whisper, making me blush, thinking we would be making love again later tonight.

I could see over the window that it was still sunny outside, and I wanted to ask him to have a walk with me on the seashore, but I wanted to lay in bed with his arms around me. It feels so lovely to put my head on his chiseled chest.

“I think Gina and Jack will hit it off just fine.” My husband said while he was caressing my back.

“I hope so, and I wanted my best friend to be happy at last. She deserves all the happiness in this world. She was the only person who never left, and she had sacrificed so much for me, and I know even if you won’t tell me about it, you hired her not because you needed additional staff, but you wanted me to feel at home; by having Gina around.” I declared, and I could see the guilty look on my husband’s face, but he was still trying to deny it by shaking his head.

“Hey, Gina is good with what she does, Madeline.” He responded.

“I know, Hunter, but you can hire anyone from Neospoli. You don’t need to hire my best friend from Archois. But don’t worry, my love, I appreciate all the things you have done to make me a happy wife, and I am so grateful for having you as my husband and father to our adorable son.” I declared as he scooted closer to me.

“Of course, Madeline, it was part of my plan, but I wanted Gina to have a promising career, and she is an excellent employee, but if the time comes your best friend will decide to resign, I will never hold her back, but I guess if she ends up marrying Jack, then she will handle the marketing for Jack’s restaurant. I heard grandpa offered Jack a proposal, and he asked him to open a branch of his restaurant here in Neospoli.” My husband responded, and my smile widened.

“Wow! That would be great!” I said happily.

“Yes, it is,” he answered, and we fell silent; I couldn’t wait to speak with my best friend, and I felt so delighted that my best friend would have Jack as her boyfriend.

I talked with my husband until I fell asleep in his arms, and when I woke up, I realized he was no longer beside me. I got up and went to the bathroom, and I took a warm shower. After I put on one of my favorite casual dresses, I walked toward the balcony of our room, and I realized the sun was setting on the horizon.

My heart swelled with happiness when I looked at the shore and found my husband carrying our son while he was talking with my grandfather, and it was such a lovely scene that I couldn’t stop myself from taking pictures of them, and I realized they were the three males I love the most in this world.

I couldn’t stop myself from taking photos when I received a message notification coming from Gina, and I smiled when I realized she was asking me if we could talk.

“Sure, I will be here waiting for you on the balcony of our room,” I responded, and I realized she was already outside the door because before I could even send my follow-up text, she was already standing beside me on the balcony.

“Hey!” She greeted me with a wide grin on her face, and I couldn’t stop smiling at her from ear to ear.

“Judging by the look on your face, I could tell you are so happy, and it seems like you are on cloud nine right now, Gina,” I said, and she giggled.

“Yes, I couldn’t put it into words how happy I am, Maddie, and thank you so much for making your best friend so happy, and I know you are behind all this; you can’t lie to me.” She said, and I raised my eyebrows.

“Gina, I had no idea that Jack would be here, it was only a coincidence that I wanted him to have a date with you, and I think you should thank my grandpa,” I responded.

“Really? You didn’t ask your grandfather to invite Jack?” She asked in disbelief, and I shook my head.

“Yes, it wasn’t me, Jack suited to be called the best chef in Archois, and I am sure it was the reason why my grandpa hired him,” I answered.

“And he became an instant celebrity the moment his cooking show aired, and you can’t deny Jack is handsome and hot, Gina. It means you are so lucky to be his girlfriend.” I said, and her face fell.

“I know he came here to see you, Madeline,” She said as she looked at the shoreline while I still could see my husband and grandpa are talking, and I beamed when I realized it was now grandpa who was carrying our son on his chest.

“Maybe yes, but it was because he wanted to tell me that he is over me and now ready to enter a relationship. Jack didn’t come during the baby shower my aunt prepared for me since he wanted to show up when he was ready to tell me that he is no longer in love with me.” I declared as I turned my head and looked at my best friend.

“Gina, you need to give Jack a chance and I know you are still in love with him, and you don’t need to get jealous of me because you have always known that I love him as a friend only. I am so in love with my husband, Gin.” I added, and she gave me a shy smile.

“I know, Madeline, don’t get me wrong, you are my best friend, and our friendship means a lot to me, you are more than a sister, but I couldn’t stop myself from feeling this way. And I am sorry that sometimes I wish I was you.” Gina continued, and I moved closer to her, and I held her hand.

“You’ve got everything, but it doesn’t mean I am not happy for you, Maddie. I am the happiest person that you end up the richest woman in this country, being the heir of Hector Grant, and for having Hunter Divenson as your husband.” She declared.

“You don’t need to apologize, Gina; I understand, and I want you to know you are the reason I am still here, for how many times I almost gave up fighting, especially when my mom died, I was so young back then, but you were there giving me all the support that I need,” I responded.

“You helped me financially even if you ended up losing everything you saved for yourself; I know how badly you needed to buy a new cellphone at that time, but when you saw me crying because I needed to bring my mom into the hospital, you gave me your piggy bank without hesitation, and how could I forgot your kindness, Gina. And all I want is to pay back everything you have done to me.” I said, and I hugged her as I could feel my tears falling on my cheeks.

“You have already paid off everything, Maddie; besides, you don’t need to pay me. But you have given me everything I could ask for, and I am the luckiest person for having you as my best friend; I know even if you don’t admit it, you helped me to have this chance to meet Jack again and don’t worry, I will never let this opportunity be wasted..” She replied with a wide grin on her face, and we embraced each other for a long time; and my smile broadened when I saw my husband waving at me with a beautiful smile on his face, and I realized this was one of the best days I could ever have in my life.
