Madeline's POV
When I woke up, I could feel that I was lying on a soft mattress, and I was sure I was inside a room. I didn't open my eyes right away since I was afraid the woman had done something terrible to my baby. I touched my belly, and I could tell I was still carrying my son in my womb, and I didn't feel anything unusual on my body.
I felt terrified as I remembered the woman's face who made me unconscious. She didn't hurt me, but knowing she used something to make me faint right away was enough to tell me; she is bad news, and I wondered what she wanted from me.
"I am aware you are awake, Madeline." I heard a familiar voice, and I could feel the goosebumps that covered my entire skin as I opened my eyes, and I was face to face with Kaye.
She was wearing a white dress, and she looked stunning as always; her hair was shorter this time, and I could see the anger on her face as she looked at daggers at me.
"What do you want from me, Kaye?" I asked as I tried to sound calm even if I felt so afraid of what she will do to me; Kaye almost succeeded in her plan of killing me, but my grandpa's men intervened, and I could tell Kaye was capable of hurting me, and worse she can kill me. I am not afraid, but I am scared for my baby.
"You know what I want from you, Madeline. I only wanted to have Hunter in my life, but right now, you took everything from me. Your grandfather ruined my father, and he made our entire family suffer." She snarled.
"Your grandpa was doing illegal things, Kaye. It wasn't my grandpa's fault if the authority put your father behind bars since he needs to answer for his crimes." I answered, and it made her angrier.

She hissed as she picked up a butcher's knife from the table, and Kaye gave me a sinister smile, and I could feel my legs were trembling when I saw her touch the tip of the blade, and I know she is capable of doing evil things, and I should never let my guard down.
I swallowed my saliva as I watched her walking back and forth inside the room, and as I looked around, I could tell we were still inside my grandpa's hotel since they couldn't bring my body outside the hotel premises, and whoever helped her must be working for my grandpa.
"I will make sure Hector Grant will release my father from jail, Madeline; if not, he will have your cold body," Kaye said, and her laughter reverberated the entire room, and I couldn't believe she was the Kaye I knew years ago, she looked like an angel on the first day that I met her. Now all I could see on her face was anger.
"Then I need to have your husband, if you didn't come into his life, I am sure, I am now his wife, and I have a happy life. You are the reason why I am having a hard time, Maddie." She added.
"I didn't do anything to you, Kaye. You were the one who paid goons to kill me. You already tried to kill me once, but you weren't successful, and do you know why, Kaye?" I asked bravely, and she walked closer to me, and I could tell her anger blinded her.
I knew that Kaye's family lost their wealth since my grandpa's men discovered that her father was doing illegal transactions. When grandpa found everything, he contacted the government agencies, and I couldn't blame Kaye for why she was so angry with me. She yanked my hair that made me yelp.
"You should never ask me questions, and I will only allow you to ask me some queries only at this time since I don't give you any right to question me or ask me anything. You have to wait for me if I allow you to talk or not. You have to remember you are under my mercy, Madeline." She responded while she was still yanking my hair, and I could feel the pain in my head, but I didn't let her know I was afraid of her.
"I will ruin you, Madeline. In that way, I can get back to all of you, and I hated Hunter more for loving you so much. I was waiting for him to love me, but he ended marrying someone like you who has nothing to offer him, but I could tell his father knew all about you, Madeline." She said, and her words caught my attention.
"Yes, Maddie, don't look such shock, and I loathed Clark Divenson for using me. He knew you were an heiress. He tried his best to stop Hunter from loving you so his son would become more in love with you." She added, and I couldn't stop believing in her words.
"Madeline, your father-in-law, was a wicked man; he even planned with his illness. And do you think Charlotte and Clark Divenson will change their wicked ways of living?" She asked, and I couldn't hide the horrified look on my face.
"Yes, Maddie, I wasn't your only enemy, and I could tell the father and daughter played their role perfectly since their acting fooled you," Kaye added. I felt so hurt that I trusted Hunter's father and sister only to find out that they didn't mean anything they said when they apologized to Hunter and me.
"What do you mean when you said even his illness?" I asked, and I could hear my voice is trembling.
"I don't need to explain it to you, Maddie. I know how intelligent you are, and I know it was one of the reasons why Hunter became so crazy about you even if, at first, he was only using you." She said, and I could tell this was her strategy to make me hate my husband.
"You were wrong, Kaye; my husband was in love with me; that is why he made me his wife, and there is no other reason," I replied, and she erupted into laughter.
"Do you realize what you were talking about, Madeline? Come on, you know he is only wanted to marry you so he can have an heir, and Hunter planned to file a divorce after you gave birth to his child, but his plan failed because he fell in love with you." She said, and I could feel her grip on my hair loosen.
"And that is why I hated you so much." She said, and I could see the pain on her face.
"I have loved Hunter ever since I was a little girl. I have always known he is the man for me, and now that I lost everything, you gained all the good things in this world." She added.
"You marry Hunter, and you are the only heir of Hector Grant, and I am sorry because you become my target, Maddie." She said, and she looked like a madwoman or a possessed woman as she smiled at me with wickedness.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI couldn't believe Hunter's father made up his illness so he could come closer to my grandpa, and I felt horrified as I realized they were now planning to do something to eliminate my grandfather.
"What are you planning to do with my grandpa, Kaye?" I asked, and she shook her head.
"I don't know Madeline; they no longer talk with me since they don't want me to be involved anymore when Hunter's father and sister realized they don't need me anymore; and when they found out about what happened with my father. Clark and Charlotte decided to stop communicating with me when I needed them most, and that is why I made my plan, Maddie." She said, and I felt my entire body is shivering as I realized they fooled us once again.
"I am not sure if they will continue to do their evil plan, or they got scared of your grandpa; because he will find out the truth about them. Your grandpa is an influential and the cleverest man I have ever known, but I hated him for destroying our family; that is why I am holding you hostage until he will give in to my requests." She said, and I pity her even if she plans to hurt me.
I could tell she was shaking, maybe it was because of her anger, or she felt guilty and scared if my grandpa and Hunter's men would find me. She would deal with the authority, and I needed to help her even if I could tell it would be impossible to convince her that she could never run away from her crime if she would hurt me.
"I want to help you, Kaye," I said, and she was laughing again.
"I don't need your help, Madeline, but if you insist, I will accept your offer. You can only help me if you give up, Hunter."She said, and my eyes widened.
"See? Be careful with what you are talking about, Madeline. You can never help me with my problem because I only wanted to have Hunter in my life, then I need to do something with you that will make your grandpa realize it wasn't a good idea that he messed with my family." Kaye declared.
Kaye fished out something in her pocket, and she opened a medicine capsule, and she asked me to open my mouth, and I realized she was using medicine to harm me, and I wondered what she was trying to do with me, and I realized she was aiming for my baby.
