She looked outside the window. She could see the faint lights in the distance. She felt like a lost and wandering spirit.
Escape? Where could she escape to?
Hunter stood on the balcony. He gazed at the same view that she saw. The cool night breeze blew at him.
He was aware of Madison’s resistance. But there were things that he could not tell her yet.
The issues were too complex and would involve too many people.
“What are you thinking about?” Madison walked to his side. He checked his watch. It was exactly five minutes.
Hunter pulled her into his arms. He smelled the familiar scent of shampoo coming from her.
“Look at us now. Don’t we look like how we were?”
Once, he stood alone on the balcony like tonight. That time, Madison squeezed into his embrace.
She would look at him bright-eyed and ask, “Why are you always spacing out in tall and quiet places like this? You look so lonely like that. How sad.”
“Me, sad?” He lowered his head.
She fluttered her eyebrows and smiled brightly. “But in the future, I’ll be with you, so you won’t be alone anymore.”
The person in his arms and the face in his memories merged into one. Hunter said slowly, “You said you would be with me, so I won’t be alone.”
Madison’s expression remained indifferent. “Yes, I said that. But weren’t you the one who pushed me away?”
Hunter traced her brows with the tip of his fingers. His dark pupils were like a deep abyss.
They feel as if they would engulf her completely.
“What if I say I want you back now?” Hunter asked.
Madison replied without hesitation, “It’s too late now.”
She turned away from Hunter and pointed to the scenery beneath them.
She said, “You were the one who shoved me in the past down from here. You shattered everything. Including all my love and desire for you.”
Hunter’s hands tightened around her waist. She was then pushed against the glass.
He looked at her clean and pearly face.
His voice was deep and icy, threatening even.
“I don’t care where your heart lies. All I want is you in the flesh.”
Hunter was like an arrogant emperor who held the life and death of his subjects in the palm of his hand.
And she was like an ant before him. He only had to put his foot down to destroy her.
Even his voice was filled with arrogance.
“See, your willingness doesn’t matter. Whatever I want to do will be done. Just as it always has been.”
His unhinged behavior triggered a strong sense of rebellion in Madison’s heart.
“Hunter, I am no longer the woman that lived for you alone.”
She pushed his body away and had a defiant expression on her face.
Her expression displeased Hunter. “What’s this now?
“Weren’t you the one who begged me not to divorce you? And now you won’t even let me touch you?”
His anger grew the more Madison struggled. His eyes were filled with rage.
The increasing pressure from Hunter made Madison upset. On her front, she was pressed against ice-cold glass. It formed a stark contrast with Hunter’s body behind her.
She unleashed her killer shot, “Hunter, the condition for having your way with me was to find Leo. But so much time has passed. Where is he?”
The words were like a downpour of cold water. It extinguished Hunter’s flame.
“I’m still searching.”
The mention of Leo annoyed Hunter.
It was apparent that Leo was hiding from him. It had been days. He still hadn’t found a trace of Leo’s whereabouts.
Leo was just a persona for the person. It was going to be hard to find him when he didn’t want to be found.
Although Hunter had hired other experts from overseas, the best they could do was keep Jeff alive. No- one dared to operate on him.
Every one of them knew that the mortality rate was too high for Jeff’s situation. None of them dared to risk their career for
Jeff.
Madison saw his annoyed look. She gathered her courage and pushed him off of her. “You have no right to touch me if you haven’t found him yet.”
Hunter didn’t expect Leo to be so hard to find, but he had already promised to find him.
If he couldn’t, it would be embarrassing for him.
“Madison!” He looked at her angrily while grinding his teeth.
Madison tied her bathrobe back up in front of him. “Consider what you saw just now as interest for the payment for finding Leo.”
Hunter was rendered speechless.
He could now empathize with Sophia, who had been driven to her wits’ end by Madison’s antics.
As she was about to leave, Hunter pulled her back into his arms and asked, “Madison, I don’t understand why you’re being so melodramatic. We’ve done it a thousand times before.”
The pent-up anger overwhelmed Madison as she glared at Hunter. “It’s not like I’m your only woman.
“Why does it have to be me? Andrea is just right downstairs. Should I call her over?”
“It’s because you’re the only one for me!” he said aloud in his head.
However, that answer was buried deep in his heart. He tightened his grasp around her waist, inhaling a deep breath.
He said, “Must you put up a fight with me over this kind of matter?”
Madison barely suppressed the urge to tell him how much he disgusted her.
She was aware that their relationship was as rigid as ever. Thus, she needed to keep her emotions under control.
Confronting him recklessly wouldn’t do her good.
As an afterthought, she decided to compromise. She lowered her head. “I just… can’t get used to it.”
Taking a step back, as she had expected, never failed to work wonders whenever facing Hunter.
He watched her exposed nape. It was as if a kitty was revealing its weakness.
It managed to appease his anger a little.
“Fine. I won’t touch you for the time being.” He was surprisingly receptive now.
Madison raised her head with bright eyes.
Although he was still being mean to her, he didn’t bear as much resentment as before. She could clearly feel that.
Perhaps she could have seized the chance to gain useful information.
As long as she could pull him over to her side, it would be a big help for her investigation.
“Hunter, can we talk?” Madison asked.
“Yeah. But I haven’t eaten. Let’s eat while we talk.” He then asked someone to prepare a meal before going to the bathroom.
Madison initially intended to leave after having a short discussion with him.
But clearly, Hunter wasn’t planning on letting her go.
Hearing the sound of water splashing, she sighed and opened the closet.
The clothes she previously owned were in it as she had expected. Andrea hadn’t come here before.
Madison got changed and waited for him quietly.
Soon, dinner was served in their room. There were steaks, wine, and fresh flowers.
It was so romantic that she almost had a delusion that they hadn’t divorced. It was as though they were celebrating their marriage anniversary.
Hunter must’ve informed the waiters to serve only the food. They left as soon as they sent the food over.
The candle was lit, and the scent of rose and wine lingered in the air.
Hunter came out of the bathroom fresh and pulled out a chair to take a seat,
He arched an eyebrow at her. “What are you standing there for? Have a seat.”
Madison looked at the dishes he ordered. Those were her favorites in the past.
Even the steak was done to her liking.
She gazed at him with the help of the dim light from the lit candle.
His handsome features weren’t tense. He was relaxed, which was unusual for him.
“How long has it been?” Madison asked.
“Two years and a month,” Hunter replied fast.
She smiled bitterly. “So, I am not the only person remembering the anniversary.”
“Madison, I’m not as cruel as you think I am.”
“If you weren’t cruel, we wouldn’t have come this far.”
“Is steak not enough to shut your mouth?”
He retorted, displeased.
She ate a piece of it. It tasted the same as she could remember.
The person next to her was the same man, but he felt like a stranger to her.
Hunter raised his wine glass at her. “Have some. I won’t force you to drink tonight.”
It seemed like he hadn’t forgotten about how much she threw up back then. She was hammered when she was begging him.
