Andrea wanted to rant very badly, but she was forced to hold her tongue. She had no idea since when Hunter refused to even utter a word to her.
“Hunter, didn’t you see my face?”
It was only then that Hunter looked up. He saw her red cheeks sporting clear handprints.
“Who hit you?”
“My dad.”
“Then I can’t do anything about it.” Upon returning to his seat, Hunter flipped open a folder.
He couldn’t possibly ask Chris to take responsibility, after all.
His connections to the Davis’s aside, Hunter respected Chris as a person.
Seeing his nonchalance, Andrea hastily ran toward him. “If Madison got hurt, would you be this cold to her too?”
Hunter wanted to say that Andrea wasn’t worthy enough to be compared to Qlivia. But when he thought about the deceased Kurt, he chose not to say it.
He simply said, “I’ll ask Kelvin to send you to the hospital.”
“I am your fiancée!”
Andrea was upset with Hunter’s half-hearted attitude. In the past, he was never intimate with her, but at least he was gentlemanly and respected her.
But now, he didn’t even respect her at all. He freely expressed his disgust toward her.
“You didn’t come to the engagement ceremony,” Hunter reminded her.
“What, are you running away from your responsibilities? Don’t forget, you promise Kurt that you will protect us for life! If it weren’t for Kurt, you would’ve died by now.”
Andrea had said the same thing countless times. She wanted the Milia Stellae, but Hunter said she couldn’t have it. So, she brought up Kurt’s death to threaten him.
She wanted Collington Cove as well. It was a surprise prepared for Madison. But in the end, Andrea used the Hunter to give up on that plan.
Is to force Hunter had spent years building that hospital. The tendering, filing, land acquisition, and building stages took a lot of effort. He wanted to give it to Madison as a present after she had given birth.
He knew that Madison was a kind person. He even established a charity fund for the people who couldn’t afford to pay their medical bills.
He could already imagine how happy Madison would be when she knew about it.
But when Andrea heard of this, she kept pestering him for shares of the hospital. She even changed the name of the hospital.
For some time, because of what happened to Leia, he had hatred toward Madison as well. Still, his love for her never changed.
His remorse toward Kurt had turned into Andrea’s pass to get everything she wanted. Of course, Hunter kept putting up with her ridiculous requests.
In the end, his actions only served to hurt Madison deeply.
Hunter slapped the folder shut, which startled Andrea.
“W-Why are you looking at me like that? What I said isn’t wrong! He died because he wanted to protect you-”
“Enough!”
A cold air emanated from Hunter, his voice becoming terrifyingly low. He rose to his feet before slamming his hands onto the desk, his figure towering over Andrea’s by a head.
“Do you treat Kurt’s death as your pass to get everything you want?”
The oppressive feeling coming from Hunter loomed over Andrea. Startled by his expression, Andrea trembled. “I … I…”
“Yes, he died to save me, and I am very grateful to him. I promised him that I would take good care of you guys.
“You said that you wanted to get married to me, and I agreed. I gave you everything you wanted.
“There’s the birthday banquet for Madison and the recent engagement ceremony. When have I complained about you?
“Andrea, I’ve spent a lot of money and effort on you, but were you ever sad about Kurt’s death?”
Andrea was upset when she heard that. “I gave birth to his child! Why wouldn’t I be saddened by his death?”
Hunter looked down at her with a judging gaze. She lowered her head guiltily.
But then, Hunter revealed a long-hidden secret.
“No one knows where your child came from, but I do.”
Hunter and Kurt were cousins, and they looked alike. Kurt had been in love with Andrea since they were young, but Hunter was the one Andrea liked. So they had been in a love triangle for quite some time.
During one of Andrea’s birthday parties, Kurt attended, but Hunter didn’t. Andrea got drunk and thought Kurt was Hunter. She got pregnant after that.
That was one of the happiest times in Kurt’s life. He cared for her attentively and was making preparations to marry her.
He once told Hunter that he wanted to leave the life of danger behind him because he wanted to be there for Andrea and his child. Hunter agreed to let him go after one last mission.
But fate was cruel to Kurt. He lost his life in the final mission. Before he died, he asked Hunter to take care of Andrea in his stead.
Kurt never found out that Andrea never loved him. He didn’t know that their one night of passion resulted from her being drunk. She wouldn’t have slept with him otherwise.
She even thought about having an abortion after she learned about her pregnancy. But then, she received news of Kurt’s passing.
Hunter went to her and pleaded for her to keep the baby. It was Kurt’s only descendant. Andrea’s condition for keeping the baby was for Hunter to marry her.
Andrea wasn’t arrogant in the beginning. She was uneasy and insecure. She didn’t expect Hunter to agree to her condition. The only catch was she would have to wait for some time.
It was because Madison was pregnant then. Hunter had started to distance himself from her, but he didn’t want to devastate her with a divorce during her pregnancy. Both of them had been looking forward to this baby.
In the following days, Hunter began to pay less attention to Madison and started to take care of Andrea. He gave Andrea whatever she wanted, even at Madison’s expense.
Andrea’s greed grew as days went by. She even started to make hurting Madison her personal goal. Hunter turned a blind eye to her actions repeatedly because of his guilt toward Kurt.
Andrea began to enjoy everything Hunter provided her with. Her demands became more outrageous. Hunter had tolerated her until this very moment, but Andrea was still trying to hold Kurt’s death against him.
“The child’s origin doesn’t matter. You promised you’d take care of me.”
Andrea thought about something else. She said, “I know Kurt’s last words were not the only reason you married me. You have your considerations, too. You wanted the backing of my father and grandfather.”
Hunter turned to look at her abruptly.
Andrea lowered her voice and said, “Others may not know, But I do. I know about your identity. You want to climb to the top of the ladder.
“But you have a competitor. You want to get more votes than him during the election. And the Davis’ family has been around for over a hundred years. Our connections are far greater than yours.”
Hunter didn’t respond. His gaze grew colder.
Andrea went on with her monologue obstinately. “Hunter, Madison can’t help you with anything. Marrying me is the best thing for you. Only I can help with the things you want to accomplish.”
Hunter closed his eyes and said, “Don’t ever tell anyone else what you said. You know you’re dead if you expose my identity.”
“I know what I’m doing. I just want you to be better to me,” Andrea said softly.
“Andrea, I can give you a marriage, money, and status. But you’re not worthy of my heart.”
Andrea wanted to say something more, but Hunter opened his eyes and looked at her.
“If you weren’t the woman Kurt loved, you would already be dead for what you’ve done to Madison a thousand times over. Be grateful for your position as Mrs. Williams, and stop dreaming of getting more than you deserve.”
At the hospital, Chloe was out of danger after some emergency medical treatment. But she looked frail and pitiable.
Chris held her hand that wasn’t hooked to the IV drip and looked at her sorrowfully. Chloe’s health had worsened immensely in a short amount of time.
“I’m sorry, Chloe. It’s my fault Andrea turned out like that.”
He didn’t know the whole story, but he was sure Andrea had done more horrible things than he imagined. Chloe wouldn’t have been so angry otherwise.
Chloe smiled weakly. “It’s okay, I’m fine. You don’t have to blame Andrea. She’s just a kid.”
Andrea is such a piece of shit, and Hunter doesn’t deserve Madison. Sacrificing her and their child just for a stupid promise to the dead. Which doesn’t matter anymore anyway.
