Hunter's POV
I parked my car at the hospital's parking area, and I get out of my vehicle hastily and run to the hospital's main entrance. I found Lucinda waiting for in the lobby, and I can see the worried expression on her face. And when she raised her head and saw coming in her direction, she weakly smiled at .
"Hunter! I am so sorry, I didn't put sothing in the bathroom, but I can hear Rebecca is telling everyone I did sothing terrible to her." Lucinda said as I moved closer to her.
"Relax, Lucinda, and tell what happened?" I asked her.
"I was on my way to deliver her food for dinner when I heard her loud scread that echoed in the entire penthouse, and I felt horrified when I saw her on the floor, and I can see blood all over the floor, and she was bleeding heavily, and she was in pain. And she was blaming , and you have to believe that I didn't put anything on her bathroom floor." Lucinda said, and I know she was telling the truth because my instinct was telling she was honest than Rebecca.
On the day I found myself naked in my room with Rebecca, everything changed between us. I hated her for collaborating with Charlotte, but she begged to forgive her, and she told she only did it because she is still in love with .
"Rebecca, what you have done was unbelievable; how could you lower yourself like that? Did you ask for my sister's help? Tell honestly, what did you do to last night?" I asked in a booming voice when I found her in the dining room and Lucinda was there since she was serving our food, but I was too angry to care. I saw Rebecca's face pale because I never even once raised my voice on her, but I felt so frustrated and mad that I sinned against my wife without even knowing what exactly happened.
"Hunter, I am sorry, I told you for how many tis that I am okay, and I understand that you are already married to Madeline, but I wish you also understand how it kills to think you are no longer mine. The truth is I am still in love with you, and I will never be fine." She said, and she was sobbing as she looked at in the eyes with pleading.
"It wasn't my choice to be put on that stupid ntal care ho by your father. I only told your sister that I am still in love with you and she told she could help with my problem. And I think there is nothing wrong with what happened between us because you have loved once, and don't worry, it was only between us." She said, and I beca more frustrated as I put my hands on my face, and it took a long while to speak with her again as I try to calm myself.
"Rebecca, I don't wanna hurt you, but for how many tis I have told you that I love Madeline, I love my wife, and you fucking need to understand that. I know what my father did to you was unforgivable, but it wasn't , Rebecca. It was my father's fault, not mine. I was only trying to fix what my dad had broken even though I know it would be impossible to do such a thing because I am now in love with soone else. I helped you recover from your illness so you can have a normal life again." I said, and she shook her head as her tears continued to fall on her beautiful face.
"No, I can never have a normal life after your father ruined , and you have to deal with it too because this is all happened to because you asked to be your girlfriend. I was working peacefully in your house, but you didn't stop bothering until you made fell in love with you, and you made pregnant." She said, and I can see the burning anger on her face.
"Rebecca, we were both young adults back then and both in love with each other." I said, and her face softened.
"Of course, I know you didn't force to make love with you that ti because I can still rember how you make feel, but I hate you now that you didn't even kiss ." She said as she leaned her back on the backrest of the dining chair, but she didn't take her eyes off .
"You know the reason, Rebecca, and because I respected you, I could have sex with you if I want to, but I love my wife, and I couldn't do it to her. But what you did last night was beyond crazy, and I want to think that it wasn't your idea because I know you are better than Charlotte. Please, Rebecca, I am begging you, what did you do to last night? I hate to think that you claim sothing happened between us that I didn't even rember even a single detail about it, and I think I have all the right to know what happened last night." I declared, and I was begging her.
" I didn't do anything to you, Hunter, I swear. I only saw Charlotte put sothing in your drink, and then later, after that, she told to start kissing you, and I was surprised when you kissed back." She said, and I felt like dying. I didn't let her finish the story because I was too angry with my sister. I left the dining hall without a second glance and got down to the parking area, and I got inside my car and drove my car fast. And I was panting when I reach the Divenson mansion, and I felt glad when I found my entire family in the living room, and my sister Lily ran towards , but she stopped in her tracks when she saw the anger on my face.
"Charlotte! How could you do sothing stupid like that?" I asked her, and she smiled at aningfully.
"Why, big brother? Didn't you enjoy the wild escapade you had with Rebecca last night?" She asked, and out of the corner of my eye, I can saw my sister Lily stepped back, and she moved as far away from as she can. And I know she was hurt because she loves Madeline more than .
"Lily, I need you to go to your room right now." I said in a loud voice, and she stared at with hatred in her eyes before she turned her heels away from us. And I know I need to speak with her before she hates forever.
"I know you didn't rember anything, but I will show you the video if you want to relive the monts you had with my very close friend, Rebecca, and I felt so triumphant right now because I can manipulate her with my fingers, and she made all my plans worked." She said, and I felt so angry, and I clenched my fists on my sides as I looked at my sister.
"But why do you have to do all this to , Charlotte? I am your brother, for heaven's sake." I said, and she looked at with anger in her eyes, and I can now tell all the won in my life are now angry with except my mom, who is looking at with tenderness.
"Yes, you are my brother, and that is why I hated you so much because our father only wanted you to run our businesses, and he doesn't trust my abilities. For him, you are the only one who can make the business grow, and I am impressed that you are excellent, but I hate you so much big brother, and I want our dad to be proud of even for once." She said, and my shoulders sagged, and I couldn't believe that she is sicker than Rebecca.
"I am a mining engineer, Charlotte, and I am more knowledgeable than you are in terms of the mining industry, but you could have told , and I will let you run the business." I said, and I half-laughed because I was going crazy with what is going on with my life, and I know there is only one person who can make feel better, and it is Madeline, but I felt so guilty that I committed a big sin towards her, she doesn't deserve all this. I should be the one who will protect her, but my family is doing everything they can to wreck the beautiful relationship I have with her, and I suddenly want to go ho with Maddie.
"Son, if you only marry Kaye, none of this could have happened. I have already told you that you don't need to work so hard once you marry her. She is an only daughter of his parents, and she will inherit everything." He said, and I looked at my father with disgust.
"Why do you need so much wealth in your life, dad? We have more than enough." I said in a defeated tone.
"You don't know how hard it is to live without anything, Hunter, because you grew up in a mansion, and all your life, you live in luxury. That is why I don't want any of you to experience the hardship in life." He said, and I laughed.
"Yeah, and you made experienced worse. How could you ruin an innocent life because of your selfishness?" I asked.
"Are you calling selfish? You don't know what you are talking about, son. The woman you take good care of as of this mont was only using you. When you dated her ten years ago, and she was fooling you around. As a father, I want to protect you, and I didn't want you to get hurt. I found her kissing Luke so many tis and heard their conversations. She was using you because she wants to get money from you after you get married. Luke was addicted to gambling. That is why he asked Rebecca to work here to seduce you, and he was hoping his girlfriend will catch your attention and bingo! You fell for her hard, but you never listened to when I told you she was not the right woman for you." My father said, and I don't know if I have to listen to him about Rebecca's betrayal to .
"I asked you to co here at the Divenson mansion after you hit when we t at the ntal care hos, but you never ca. I allowed you to hit that ti because I felt guilty for faking Rebecca's death. Still, I only did it to protect you because your love for her blinded you, but I never regretted hiding her from you because she fooled you, Hunter, you believed she was really in love with you, maybe Rebecca did fell for you, but at first, she was only using you." He said, and I felt like my entire world is in disarray, and I left the mansion's living room in a hurry.
"Hunter! Hunter, wait!" I heard my mom's voice calling , and I want to drive away, but I need my mom right now, and I stopped while I was holding the door handle of my car, and I felt my mom embraced from behind.
"I am sorry, Hunter, I didn't know about it, and I believed Luke's lies; he seed sincere when he told that soone paid him to kiss Rebecca. Still, I found out, later on, they had a relationship. Your father showed the sweet pictures of Rebecca and Luke before she started working here in our mansion." Mom said as I tried my best to stop myself from crying.
"My only mistake I didn't tell you all about it because I don't want to hurt you more because you were devasted and mourning about her fake death. I am sorry, son, and I know your father did sothing terrible, but he was only trying to protect you, and I hope you have the heart to forgive us.." My mom said, and I don't know how to answer her that ti because I felt so hurt by all the lies and secrets they hide from , and I don't know what to believe anymore.
