Madeline's POV
I know the food on the table looked delicious and mouth-watering, but I lost my appetite after talking with the man who took Lily. And I don't know how I will leave the house without Hunter knowing about it, and I am so afraid to let him know about what was happening to Lily because of the threat that I have received from the unknown man.
"Madeline, please eat your food now," Hunter said when he looked at , and his eyes widened when he realized I didn't touch my food.
"I am sorry, Hunter, but I am not hungry," I said, and I know I have to lie later to my husband to get out of our house undetected. I have already formulated a plan, and all I need to do is initiate it, and I can feel the shaking of my legs.
"Please, Maddie, you need to eat sothing. Rember, our baby needs nutrients." He said, and I smiled at him.
"Okay, don't worry, I will eat my food," I responded, and he smiled at , and he focused his attention on eating the food on his plate while he kept looking at from ti to ti, while I started devouring my food unhurriedly. Rebecca was talking to Gina, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling when I heard my best friend answering her politely. I know my best friend was upset with Rebecca because of conniving with Charlotte, but as I listened to her talk with Hunter's ex, I could tell they got along just fine.
"You can go to the virgin island, Parker. The speed boat is ready if you want to have an afternoon swim over there. I will ask Jen to prepare food so you can have a picnic." My husband said, and when I raised my head, I could see the excitent on Rebecca's face.
"Do you want to explore the island, Babe?"Parker asked Rebecca.
"Yeah, I would love that." She replied right away, and I felt so excited for them because they could be alone on the island since most of the ti, nobody is on the island except during sumr.
"Okay, it is settled then," Hunter said.
"How about you, Gina? Do you want to co with them?" My husband asked my best friend, and I suddenly wondered if Gina would go with Parker and Rebecca since we still needed to talk.
"I want to go to the Island, but I don't want to be a third wheel." She responded.
"It would be okay, Gina. It would be more fun if you would co with us." Rebecca said to her.
"Thank you, Rebecca, but I will just stay here because I promise Madeline I will have swimming with her later on in the swimming pool." She responded, and I felt so glad Gina declined their offer. I tried to finish eating my food, but I couldn't take another bite, and I felt so pleased when my husband ate my leftover.
We sent Rebecca and Parker on the shore, and as I watched them on board the speed boat, I realized they looked so good together, and I couldn't stop myself from feeling jealous of Rebecca, knowing she was Hunter's ex-fiancee. And I know I should stop myself from feeling this way, but I couldn't help it as I looked at her looking so sexy and confident wearing her red two-piece bikini under her white seethrough coverall. And her beautiful hair made her more seductive and attractive.
"Madeline, would it be alright if I will be on my study for a while? All I need is only one or two hours? I need to check so emails and make few phone calls. Would that be alright?" My husband asked after we sat down on the sofa in the living room.
"Of course, take your ti, Hunter. Gina will accompany in our room." I responded, and I tried my best to hide my emotion that I love to have so ti alone with Gina.
"What? Are you crazy? How can I flirt with Roman? Besides, I don't even know where his n are hiding at the mont. Your husband's bodyguards are well trained, and you can't see them unless they want to show themselves to you." Gina said after I told her my plans.
"I am impressed with your idea on how to trick your husband, and I am sure it will work, but about Hunter's bodyguards, I am sorry, Madeline, I can't do it. Before I can even play my part, I am sure Roman will capture in an instant because he will know right away I am into sothing." She said as she looked at , and I almost laughed when I saw the horrified look on her face.
"Okay, then we don't have a choice but to use my car, and thank you for using it for for the last few months. All you need to do is distract the bodyguards and make sure they can never trail us behind. Do you think you can do that?" I asked her, and Gina's face lit up because adventure is her favorite. She loves fun, and of course, I know she can drive like a professional car racer, and I am hoping her talent will save us tonight from being caught so we can save Lily.
"Hell, yes!" She responded, and I giggled.
"Driving your sports car is more exciting and fun than flirting with Roman. I couldn't believe you would think such a way, and next ti, can you tell to flirt with Jack Morigan instead?" She asked, and I couldn't control my laughter.
"Why not?" I responded, and I could see my best friend's face blushed as she tried to avoid my gaze.
"I was only kidding, Madeline. No matter how I flirt with Jack Morigan, he will only have eyes for you, Maddie. The hottest chef in Astikoz is in love with my best friend." She responded, And it is my turn to blush.
"Hey, don't say that; Hunter is so allergic to Jack's na," I said, and Gina laughed.
"Are you kidding ? You are already pregnant with his child, and it is so obvious that you are so in love with him, and he is still jealous of Jack?" She asked. I and I slowly nodded my head.
"I couldn't believe this, and I never thought your handso and wealthy husband would beco jealous of the simple guy, like Jack." She declared.
"You can't deny it, Gina, Jack is attractive, and I am sure he will beco more popular the mont his cooking show starts to air," I said, and her eyes got so big.
"Yes, my dear, He will have a cooking show, and it will be aired soon," I said, and I could see the excitent on her face.
"Wow, that would be aweso, but I can also tell my chance to beco her girlfriend will go back to zero. Because we both know the mont he will appear on the television lots of girls will co to him, and he will beco an instant celebrity, and for sure he will et beautiful models and actresses." Gina said, and I could see the sadness on her face.
"Hey, don't worry about it, maybe he will et new friends, but you are his friend, Gina, and I am sure Jack will trust you," I said.
"Let us talk about our plan later, Maddie because I don't want to talk about Jack anymore." She said, and I didn't push the issue because I knew we would end up arguing with each other.
"I think it is now the best ti to speak with your husband, Maddie, now that Parker and Rebecca are still on the island," Gina said, and I nodded my head. I walked to Hunter's study while I tried to control myself, and I needed to do my best to act normal, and I hate that I have to do this to Hunter.
I can't stop feeling so anxious as I knock on the door, and when I hear his voice telling to co inside, I open the door hastily since I was afraid to chicken out and put Lily's life in danger.
"Hi!" I said the mont I got near his table, and he raised his head quickly when he heard my voice, and his beautiful smile made feel so guilty.
"Hello, did you miss already?" Hunter asked as he stood up from his chair, and he walked closer to , and he brought into his arms right away, and the mont I inhaled my husband's scent, I clung to him, and I didn't want to proceed with my plan, but I can't stop thinking about Lily's safety.
"Yes, I miss you, " I said as I leaned my head on his muscular chest, and I heard my husband chuckle.
"I wanted to eat sothing, and I hope you will not get angry with ," I said, trying to sound desperate to have the food I crave.
"Madeline, why do you think I would get angry with you." He said.
"I wanted to eat sothing, but I want you to buy it for . You can't send soone, and you just don't by yourself." I said, and the amusent on his face made feel so better.
"What do you crave this ti, my lovely wife?" He asked, and I felt so thrilled.
"Can you buy Caesar's salad at Lydia's restaurant for my dinner, please, Hunter," I said in a sweet tone as I tightened my arms around his muscular fra, and he was grinning at while he was stroking my hair.
"How can I say no if you are this sweet to , Madeline." My husband said, and I felt so triumphant, and even if I felt so wicked at the mont for fooling my husband, I know I am saving Lily's life, and that is the most important thing at this ti, and I will ask his forgiveness later.
"I love you.." I said, and my husband smiled, and he kissed tenderly on the lips after he murmured I love you too, and I know I need to stay firm with my decision so that I can rescue Lily.
