She nodded, and Hunter caressed her cheek.
He softened his voice. “Madie, believe me or not, whatever that has happened today wasn’t what I wished for. I will never hurt you again.”
Madison asked seriously, “If my father wasn’t Leia’s murderer, what would you do?”
His expression changed at that question. His tone became cold.
“Madie, even if there’s a third party involved in this matter, your father’s DNA matches with the baby in Leia’s belly.
“The result of the DNA test is in my safe. If you don’t believe it, you can read it yourself after we return home.”
Knowing what she was going to say next, he said, “I didn’t bury the premature baby. I…”
Madison felt her skin crawling. “What did you do with it?”
“It was Leia’s baby, so I asked someone to make it into a specimen.”
Loathe grew in her as she deemed him perverted.
He ignored her expression. “Don’t worry. No matter what the truth is, I will make sure to give you an answer.”
Hunter left the cabin after calming Madison down. When the door was closed, her body slowly loosened.
She spread her sweaty palms, letting out a helpless smile.
She wondered when the both of them had to put their guards up against each other.
They were neither lovers nor friends. It was not a relationship between a superior and a subordinate either.
She found it difficult to describe their relationship.
As long as Hunter wouldn’t cause Colin trouble, Madison and Colin were considered safe for today.
Colin was all drenched, putting up with the wind and rain on the deck.
Hunter sized him up and met his eyes. Colin was standing straight, showing no signs of yielding.
He looked at Hunter confidently.
In fact, Hunter looked down upon people like Colin the most. Colin appeared innocent and harmless.
Even though he previously attempted to do that to Madison on the ship, Hunter only saw him as a kid.
Hunter wasn’t bothered in the slightest.
Now, Colin’s presence bothered Hunter a little. Colin was bold and calculating.
Had Hunter not realized it in time, Colin would have successfully taken Madison away.
When that happened, it would’ve been more difficult to find her.
Colin broke the silence. “Mr. Williams, what are you going to do to me?”
“I promised her that I wouldn’t hurt you. I’m a man of my word.” Hunter observed Colin’s eyes, which showed no fear.
It was either Colin wasn’t afraid of death, or he was certain that Hunter wouldn’t hurt him-everything was going according to his plan.
Hunter was irritated by the fact that Colin saw through him.
But he didn’t let it show. “I heard that you’re injured. You should apply medicine to it. Come inside. I’ll ask someone to bandage your wound.”
Colin was surprised. “You…”
Hunter coldly snorted. “You heard me right. I wish I could throw you into the sea and feed you to the sharks, but I don’t want to upset her.”
Brent led Colin the way. “This way.”
Colin was cooperative.
When he walked past Hunter, he stopped and said, “You scarred her for life, and yet, you pretend to be so in love with her.
“Should I say that you’re a loving man or a pretentious man?”
As soon as he finished, Kelvin gave him a push from behind. “Hurry up. Keep talking, and I’ll feed you to the sharks.”
Colin’s mock was a soft blow. But it put a heavy weight on Hunter’s chest.
Hunter clenched his fists tightly. He couldn’t deny the things he had done to Madison.
He would use the rest of his life to make up for those two years, and she would be able to walk out of the darkness one day.
Time was the best pill to heal a wound.
Hunter didn’t return to the room. The scene of Madison jumping into the sea kept replaying in his head.
He was aware that she no longer loved him. She resented him more.
He couldn’t bring himself to open the door and look at her eyes.
Resting against a wall at a sheltered corner in the hallway, he lit a cigarette.
He was getting addicted to smoking.
After he had smoked several cigarettes, Kelvin and Brent walked up to him. “Mr. Williams, we’ve sent that brat back to the port as you told.”
Hunter hummed in response. “What about his wound?”
Brent said, “It’s caused by sharp weapons. But there were only long-range attacks that day. Even if he was hurt, it should be a gunshot.”
Hunter caressed his thumb. “What did the doctor say?”
Brent replied, “It is as you’ve expected. Based on the wound’s angle, depth, and how the skin curled, it looks like it was done intentionally.
“It didn’t seem like he was hurt during a fight.”
Brent was dubious as he continued, “But why would he cut himself when he wasn’t hurt? Is he sick?”
Kelvin said aloud, “What the fuck? I heard of women being bitchy, but men can be bitchy too?
“He freakin’ cut himself!”
Hunter’s eyes darkened as he lowered his voice. “This young man is not any ordinary person.
“It’s obvious that what happened on the ship wasn’t a coincidence. Everything was done intentionally!”
Brent said, “On the cruise back then, Ms. Davis made use of someone else to plot against Mrs. Williams.
“She happened to get a hold of him and made him do the dirty work.
“If he realized early on that something was amiss, but he still drank the drugged juice… How cunning can this man be?
“He wasn’t just cunning, either. That day, if you hadn’t arrived in time, Mr. Williams, Mrs. Williams would’ve suffered.
“When that happened, he could blame it all on the drug. He could easily find an excuse and escape. This man is terrifying.
“It didn’t matter if he had truly saved Mr. Evans. But he got hurt and claimed that it was because he was trying to save Mr.
Evans.
“He did it so that Mrs. Williams would feel pity and remorse toward him.
“Even now, Mrs. Williams treats him like a child, but he seems to have weird intentions with her.”
Hunter frowned deeply, his dark eyes turning extremely cold. “What about the things I told you to do?”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Williams. Before he left, I planted a tracker and listening device in his luggage.”
“After he gets ashore, get someone to keep an eye on him. Do not alert him.”
Hunter had a feeling that the man came prepared. Now that he had stopped the man’s operations, the man must have a backup plan.
“Should I inform Mrs. Williams about this?”
“No.”
Kelvin was a little upset about it. “Why not? If this keeps up, Mrs. Williams would think that he’s a good person.
“But you’ll become the person who keeps hurting her, Mr. Williams.”
Brent rapped his head. “You fool, Mrs. Williams already thinks highly of him.
“We don’t have concrete evidence, so do you think that Mrs. Williams would believe you?
“To counter people like him, you have to be even more devious than them.”
Hunter spoke up. “He came for Madie, so he wouldn’t stop at just two incidents. Keep an eye on him. There may be more surprises.
”
Putting out the last cigarette, Hunter turned and left.
Kevin wanted to say something but decided against it.
Brent patted him on the shoulder, saying, “Keep your mouth sealed. Don’t reveal anything to Mrs. Williams.
“There’s more to that man than meets the eye, but Mr. Williams is no common person, either.”
Kevin replied, “I know, Brent. Mr. Williams is letting that man go on purpose so that he can capture the man later. He’s waiting now so that he can reap greater rewards later.”
“Good, looks like you know what’s going on. Keep a close eye on him. Don’t give the Toxic Hive any more chances to plant. spies.”
Brent had been working with Hunter for many years. But he had never encountered such a tricky opponent before.
Madison’s kidnapping had started it all. If not, those people would’ve been in hiding for even longer.
But Brent wasn’t too worried about this. The incident was already handed over to the surveillance team. It would be a matter of time before the truth was discovered.
One day, the truth would come to light.
Lying on the bed, Madison didn’t feel sleepy at all. Her mind was filled with everything that had happened recently. She didn’t know about the progress of Hunter’s investigation, either..
That accursed Hunter had his lips sealed. He didn’t even reveal a tiny bit of information.
“It’s getting late. You should go to sleep.” Hunter appeared at the entrance.
“I can’t sleep.”
Closing the door, Hunter spoke up. “I’ve already asked someone to dress his wounds and escort him away.
“If you don’t believe me, you can always call him to ask about his whereabouts.”
With that, Hunter handed her a new phone. “I had the card replicated. It’s the same number you used to have.”
Madison was stunned. “Weren’t you… planning to lock me up?”
“To be honest, I wanted to.”
Hunter didn’t even hesitate before admitting it. “Even in my dreams, I want to lock you up.
You won’t be able to leave, and you won’t have to experience any more dangers.”
At that, he smiled helplessly. “But I don’t want to turn your life into a tightrope performance. Just a slight mistake could’ve ended your life terribly.
“Madie, I want to make it up to you. Can you give me another chance?”
After hurting her so much, he was saying that he wanted to make it up to her.
Even if he was being completely serious about it, she only had the urge to laugh.
Madison knew that Hunter was emotionally unstable, just like her. She didn’t want to provoke him.
With her back facing him, she lay down. She refused to answer his question. “I’m getting sleepy.”
Hunter didn’t force her to answer, either. He turned off the lights in the room. Then, his low voice rang out above Madison’s head.
“Madie, we have all the time in the world. We have a long way ahead of us.
“You can take your time to think about it. Or, you don’t even have to reply. Just watch me.”
Madison thought, “A long way ahead,’ he said.”
That was the funniest joke she had ever heard in her life.
That night, Madison lay in Hunter’s arms. There was a storm outside, and the hull swayed from time to time.
For some reason, Madison slept soundly.
Before this, she couldn’t sleep for the longest time. Even if she did fall asleep, her sleep was restless.
Even in her dreams, she was scared that she would be kidnapped again.
If it happened again, she would’ve died for sure.
In her dreams, Madison kept mumbling, “Who exactly are you? Why are you trying to kill me?”
“Ah!”
Hunter held her tightly. In a tender voice, he spoke comfortingly in her ear.
“Don’t be afraid, Madie. I’m here.”
Slowly, Madison’s emotions were soothed. But Hunter didn’t feel like sleeping at all.
Under the dim lights, he gazed at the contours of Madison’s thin face. He touched her slender hands.
He couldn’t help but recall what Madison looked like in the past. She used to be such a cheerful woman.
When she got married to him, there was still some baby fat on her face. She looked a little childish and innocent back then.
But now, she had lost a lot of weight. The contours of her face were even more exquisite now, but there was no longer any trace of what she used to look like.
He thought about their encounters in recent times.
Every single meeting ended in tragedy. It had been a long while since he last saw her smiling sincerely.
Hunter knew that Madison was a strong and cheerful person.
If it weren’t for the trials and suffering in the past two years, she wouldn’t have lost her enthusiasm so quickly.
Reaching out, Hunter wanted to touch her face. But he stopped within just an inch of her cheek.
Regret invaded his heart. He didn’t want to believe it, but he was scared.
He was prepared to spend the rest of his life healing her.
But even so, when he thought of all the hurt she had endured for the past few years, he knew that he had no right to touch her.
Madison slept for a long time. It seemed like she was trying to catch up on all the sleep debt she had accumulated for the past few days.
When she opened her eyes again, the storm outside had faded. Looking out the window, she saw that the weather was wonderful outside.
Hunter was gone from her side. Even Snowball had disappeared from the cat bed.
After a change of clothes, Madison went out.
She realized that the ship had reached the shore, but it didn’t arrive at a harbor. Instead, it had stopped at a small island.
Snowball was sitting on the deck. Its eyes were closed as it relaxed and enjoyed the evening breeze. It looked like it was i harmony with the blue sky and white clouds in the distance.
A familiar voice rang out. “Madie.”
A little dazed, Madison turned to look at Hunter, who was standing on the shore.
