Madeline's POV
"Hey, are you alright, Madeline?" Gina asked while I am looking at my plate for a long ti, and I am just glad that she ca to my house to have dinner with because deep inside , I know I will never be okay after I saw Rebecca in Hunter's office.
"I am fine, Gina, you know what? I am such a fool for wishing that we will be okay, and I couldn't believe I will find his ex in his office this morning. I know I already decided to ask him to let go, but I never expected to find her there. They hurt more this morning, and I am just glad I didn't break down, and I was able to leave his office with dignity." I declared, and I don't have an appetite to eat, and I want to have sothing in my stomach because I want to drink sothing tonight to sleep.
"I think you should give Hunter a chance to explain his side, Maddie. He is not just a boyfriend, but he is your husband. You both have a sworn commitnt to each other during your wedding day, and I don't think Hunter will betray you, Maddie." Gina said.
"I am sorry, but I need to remind you, you were the one who inford Hunter about Rebecca's whereabouts; you could have kept silent since you are his legal wife, and you can have him for yourself." My best friend said, and I couldn't believe she will talk to like that. My eyes widened, but no words ca out of my mouth.
"You are partly to bla that these things happened in your life, Madeline, you have to accept that Rebecca was Hunter's first love, and the doctors declared Rebecca dead on that day. Hunter mourned her death for ten years, but because you are selfless, you brought your husband to the ntal Care Hos to let him see her. I admire you, Madeline, for your courage in doing such a thing, you were so courageous during that ti over there, but I hope you will also be brave enough to face the trials in your married life. I am saying all this because I love you, and I care for you, Maddie, and I know deep inside you, you are still in love with your husband, " Gina added.
"You are not only my best friend, Madeline, but you are like a sister to . I don't want the ti will co that you will have regrets and asked yourself, what if you give yourself a chance to listen to him even once." Gina continued, and I stop eating my food as I watched her with wide eyes.
"But I will not force you, Maddie, in the end; your decision matters, and I will support you with whatever conclusion you will have. Just make sure the mont you file a divorce, you are ready to let go of your husband. But if you will ask , you should fight for your love, Madeline." Gina said.
"Gina, I understand what you are talking about, but I don't want to experience the sa pain again. I need to let go so I can have peace of mind." I said, and my best friend's face fell.
The following morning I woke up when I heard a series of doorbells. I wonder who could it be, Gina went ho last night after we eat dinner since she needs to co to work early, and I am just glad I was able to fall asleep after crying again, and I wonder when I am going to stop hurting since I don't want to cry anymore.
"Jack!" I exclaid when I found him standing at my doorstep.
"I am sorry if I woke you up, Maddie, but I ca across with Gina last night, and she asked to check on you from ti to ti. Are you okay, Maddie?" He asked, and I can't stop myself from hating my best friend right now.
"I apologize, Jack. I am fine, and my best friend is overreacting." I said, and he gave his beautiful smile.
"Ah, okay, but you can tell anything Madeline, I am willing to listen." Jack said, and I gave him a weak smile.
"I know, Jack, but you have to believe . I am fine." I replied, and he nodded his head.
"Okay, then, take this." He said as he handed a kraft paper bag.
"I made your favorite sandwich, " Jack said, and I can't stop myself from grinning.
"Thanks, chef, stop doing sothing like this, or I will get used to it." I said.
"I don't mind, and I am willing to prepare breakfast for you, Madeline." He said, and I felt awkward.
"Jack, you don't need to do sothing like this to ." I replied.
"It makes happy, Madeline. We are friends, and I want to take care of you." He said, and I felt touched by his words.
"Thank you, Jack." I said.
"You are welco, Maddie. Next ti I want to invite you to have a jog with if you want." He declared.
"Maybe, when I am not busy, Jack." I said, and he said his goodbye, and he started running again. Jack is attractive and kind, but I will never use him to get over Hunter because he is a good man, and I will never use anyone to forget the pain that I feel.
I keep myself busy the entire day applying for a job online, and I am shocked when I find an email for an interview schedule from a company looking for an executive secretary, and I felt so happy. I want a job in the marketing or finance departnt, but being an executive secretary of the CEO of big companies is challenging work for . I felt so excited to have my first job interview for an office job, not a part-ti job.
My interview is tomorrow afternoon, and I am so excited that I have already prepared my clothes and shoes because I want to look presentable. I went out to buy groceries, and I suddenly felt uneasy because I felt like soone was watching ; I looked around my place, but it is so quiet, and I haven't seen a single soul in my neighborhood. I drive away from my house feeling so hopeful. And I felt so happy that soone gives feedback right away. Because I badly needed a job to support myself.
My eyes widened when I looked at the balance on my bank account when I withdraw so cash, and when I logged in to my online banking application, I am surprised that my husband still deposited money on my account. And I realized I need to talk with Hunter about this matter because I no longer need his help.
"Wow! Fancy eting you here, Madeline! I heard what happened to you and Hunter; I thought you would fight for your husband because the last ti we et, you were so confident that he was your husband? What happened to your love for him, Madeline? Charlotte said, you left ho because of Rebecca. Well, I told you before I will make you pay for humiliating , and I am glad to know you are that weak. You are so pathetic, Maddie. Hunter will not settle for Rebecca. Didn't you ever realize why everything happened? It was all because of , and I know I will always win." Kaye said, and I couldn't believe I will find her here, of all places, and I realized maybe they have a residence in the suburb.
I was surprised, and I hate that I wasn't able to reply to her words, and I can feel my limbs are shaking because I hate her, and there is no way my husband will choose to settle with her, and I am very sure about it, and as I put the groceries on my trunk, I couldn't stop thinking Kaye's words. There is no way I will divorce my husband so he can marry her. We will break up, but I won't give him his freedom to marry soone like Kaye.
OMG! What I am even thinking, I hate myself, that I felt jealous towards her, and I beca so frustrated with myself. I sat in my car for a long ti before I got the courage to drive back to my new house. I know I need to be firm with my decision, but I am thinking about what Gina had said, and she was right. Hunter is my husband, and now that I made a decision, it was only fair to hear his side, but not now. I don't want to et my husband when I know I am in this state because I am afraid of my reaction, and I don't want to make a decision that will make suffer in the end.
I tried to get myself ready for my job interview, and I felt so glad I could sleep after eting Kaye at the grocery store. I wonder what she was doing over there since I know she has staff in their household who can buy things for her because I know she is the only daughter of the wealthiest man in the entire country.
After checking my appearance in the mirror for how many tis, I went out of my room and proceeded to the parking lot. I felt so excited that I arrived one hour before my interview. Well, I am ti conscious, and I always co to my part-ti job ahead of ti. That is why my boss always gives a chance to choose my shift schedule.
The secretary brings to his boss's office, and I can feel the racing of my heart, but I tried my best to control myself; I inhale and exhale to make my breathing co back to normal.
"Good luck, you may now co in, Ms. Madeline." The secretary said, and when I get inside the office, my eyes got so big, and I couldn't believe I will be facing Calixto Morgan.
