Madeline's POV
"Is there anything you want to tell , Madeline?" Karen asked when she noticed I stopped talking, and I was staring at Hunter and Kaye's picture. And I hate to think they used to be so close with each other, and I wonder why Kaye couldn't accept the fact that I am now Hunter's wife, and she knew how much my husband loves . And I wonder if Kaye wants to marry Hunter for business purposes or because she was really in love with my husband?
I realized Kaye's obsession with Hunter made her eviler. And I could tell by now, and she is willing to do everything she can to have Hunter in his life. And I wonder why she wanted to keep alive where she could have killed . And I suddenly felt worried when it dawned on , She wanted to deliver my child, and I am sure she was planning sothing more sinister, and I beca concerned for my child's safety.
"Nothing, I just couldn't believe she can make up a story like this, and one more thing you can search on the internet, and you will know the wife of Hunter.." I declared, and she smiled at .
"We already did that, Madeline," Karen responded, and she fished out her phone from her pocket. She opened her files, and then when she found what she was looking for, Karen showed news clips about Hunter's marriage to Kaye. I wonder how Kaye managed to do all this, and I could tell her money and influence can do wonders, and she can do anything she can to make them believe I am a crazy woman.
"Madeline, my advice for you is don't ever miss your dications and als, and I heard so stories that ntal illness would trigger if the patient will stop taking the dications and will skip als." She said, and I wanted to scream in her face that I was not crazy.
"You have to believe , Karen, I am not insane, and if I have an illness, you would know it through my actions and interactions towards you," I said.
"And I could have attacked you," I added, and she smiled at before she stood up.
"We know your ntal condition before you boarded this ship, Madeline, and we know you are harmless type; that is why I wanted to help you, but it seems there is nothing I can do to help you. I allowed you to have your side of the story because when I first t you, I doubted if what the wife of Mr. Divenson claid about you was true; what if you were a different person. Still, the mont you saw the picture, Mr. Divenson and his wife, I could tell right away, you needed so help, Maddie." She declared, and I wanted to protest, but I knew everything I would say to her would be useless.
"Goodbye, Madeline." She said as she grabbed the envelope from the table, and I wanted to ask for one picture of Hunter and Kaye because I miss my husband so much. I will tear Kaye's face if I can have a picture so only Hunter's face will remain, and I will post it on my wall to remind every day that my husband is waiting ho for . And I know Hunter will never stop looking for , and I wonder what he is doing right now. I am sure he felt devastated and sad, and I wish Calixto would be there for my husband so he would feel better.
"Goodbye, Karen," I replied in more than a whisper, and she got out of my cabin without a second glance. I am aware my chance of running away right now is 0 percent because we are in the middle of an ocean, and all I can see at the mont is endless water. Karen had been long gone, but I remained seated on my bed, and I was lost in space, and I wondered how I would survive at a new place where I didn't know anyone, and I know it would be easier if I am not pregnant.
I thought if I wanted to survive and escape from them, I should plan everything carefully, and I would do it the mont we reached our destination. I stood up from the bed, and get inside the bathroom, and took a bath, and when I was done, I put on my pajamas and lay on the bed feeling so lost and alone.
I was turning on my bed, thinking about my husband. I know Hunter will always be the constant reminder I need to hold on and fight, especially now that we will be parents. I was stroking my stomach, and I talked to my child inside, and I couldn't wait to feel my child in my tummy.
And I felt glad I was still in my first trister because the size of my tummy still looked normal, or it would be harder for to move around if I had a big stomach, and it would be easy for them to eliminate . And if there is only sothing I can do about my situation as of the mont, I will do it right away. I don't want to go to bed yet, but there is nothing I can do, and I don't want to read the book and magazine anymore since I couldn't stop thinking about what would happen to soon, and the anticipation is killing . And It took a long ti before I fell asleep,
In the morning, I didn't get up imdiately since I lost interest in talking to any of them because it was still useless. Since the crew of this ship already believes I am crazy, for , there is no point talking with Karen and the captain anymore because they will never help . If Karen didn't believe my story, I could tell it would be harder to convince Captain Noah to listen to . And at precisely seven o'clock, soone knocked on my cabin's door, and I slowly got up and opened the door.
"Good morning, Madeline!" The captain greeted with a smile on his face, and I couldn't stop myself from returning his smile, and I realized I should never give up, and maybe I could convince him to listen to and help . I opened the door wide, and he got inside my cabin and put the tray on the table.
"Thank you for bringing my breakfast, Captain Noah," I said, and he looked at for a long while before he spoke, and he looked so attractive wearing his all-white uniform, and I wonder where is his family as of the mont.
"You are welco, Madeline. You didn't get out from your cabin and go to the dining area, and I assu you are not feeling well." He said, and I smiled at him.
"Can I have a mont with you?" I asked as I realized I needed to talk with him, now or never.
"Sure, besides, I have sothing to ask you." He said, and I raised my eyebrows.
"Well, we are going to pass a critical area, Madeline." He said, and the words I wanted to tell him disappeared when I heard the word critical area. And I don't know what it ans, but I could tell it is sothing terrible.
"It ans there is a place where you can hide if possible danger will arise; you know our greatest enemy in the water are pirates." He said, and I could feel the rapid beating of my heart, and I felt so terrified.
"I am telling you all this not to scare you but to make you ready, and your safety is my top priority being on board on my ship. Whenever we sense the pirates' presence, I will do my best to evade them by running the boat full ahead. It ans the fastest she could run." He said as I looked at him, horrified.
"Hey, Madeline, you need to relax. I won't let anything happen to you; besides, it will not happen all the ti, and to keep you safe, I will put you in a safe place." He said, and I sighed heavily.
"What do you an by that?" I asked, and I could tell my voice was trembling.
"I have a secret place where I can hide you because I don't want sothing to happen to you; you are so beautiful, Madeline, and I don't want to give them a reason to take you; besides, I needed to take you to your destination, or else I couldn't take the full paynt." He said, and now I realized he would never help , but after I heard the word pirates, I beca more worried than saving myself from Kaye's cruelness, and it seems it beca more complicated. I thought I would only experience bad weather on this voyage, and I never expected there would be possibility pirates would attack us.
"Maddie, I don't have any intention of telling you about it, but I don't want to put you on the spot, so I decided to tell you now because we are near the area where they usually attacked. All I need from you is your full cooperation." He said.
"What should I do?" I asked.
"If I will tell you it is ti, it ans you need to leave your cabin at once and hide to the secret place. No one will find you there, Madeline. All you need to do is to believe in , and everything will be okay." He said, and I nodded my head while I couldn't stop myself from fidgeting, and I wanted to tell the captain my life would only be okay if he let co back to Archois city and be in my husband's arms.
