Madeline's POV I was shocked to find the chateau staff standing at the entrance of the main house. Leo introduced me to the estate manager, the housekeeper in charge of the female servants, the female and male servants, chefs, drivers, gardeners, and I couldn't believe my grandfather, who lives in this enormous house, has many servants. "Are you ready, Miss Brownwood?" Leo asked me as I continued to stare at the massive pillars of the house as we got inside. "I guess I am, " I responded, and I can't…

Madeline's POV It was a long ride from the port to our destination, but the sound of the horses' hooves made me feel so thrilled, and it feels like I am in a different era. I haven't seen a carriage in Archois, and now in Choraz, it seems natural because as I watched outside my window, I realized we were not the only one riding a carriage. "Who are you?" I asked the moment we stopped in front of a high wooden gate, and then the carriage traversed along in a wide driveway where I could see beautiful…

Madeline's POV I know it was a hell of an adventure to be with Captain Noah and Karen, and I am beginning to get attached to them. As we sailed on the water, we ate only a little food and drank little water, and I know we only had a limited supply, and I could tell they were afraid we would starve, but I felt so guilty that they ate less because of me. They both wanted me to have more portions of food and water because, as per Karen, I needed more food for the baby. "Guys, you don't need to do this; you…

Hunter's POV I hugged my sister, and I caressed her back as she continued to sob while I saw Gina holding on to the railing of the staircase as; she got down on her knees while she put her hand on her chest and her tears fell on her cheeks continuously. "Hunter, how could this happen? Who did all this to Madeline?" My sister asked me as she looked up in my face. "There was a fire, and the entire ship was engulfed with fire, and there were only a few survivors, others burned alive, and their charred…

Madeline's POV "Is Karen all right?" I asked Captain Noah the moment we got inside our cabin. "I think so, Captain Wyatt will be too drunk to lay his hands on Karen tonight, so I think my sister will be safe for now. I dreaded for the coming days to come when the captain is strong enough to force my sister into his bed." Captain Noah said, and He heavily sighed as he sat on the stool, and he looked at me with tenderness on his eyes, and as I stared back at him, I saw a man suffering from grief. And I…

Madeline's POV As we got out of the cabin, I could feel the shivering of my limbs; just thinking about the pirate's word made me have knots on my stomach, even if there was a part of me that wanted to see a real pirate. I held Karen's arm because I was afraid that the waves would go crazy again and I would stumble into the floor since I knew I couldn't risk my pregnancy. After all, I had to protect my child because, as of now, the baby in my womb is the one who gave me the strength and courage to fight…

Hunter's POV "No! No! No!" I am begging you, Phil, to please try to search the ship and the water again. She could be there somewhere." I asked and couldn't believe he would be telling me we were going back on the shore without my wife. "Hunter, I am sorry, the fire firefighters' tugboats contained the fire, and the firefighters already searched the remaining part of the vessel, and we have been circling the area, but we couldn't find her." He said, and I wonder where my wife could be. "I am sorry to…

Madeline's POV "You need to eat, Madeline. I know you felt worried about what would happen once we arrived at our destination, but don't worry, l promised I would help you. I can't help you now because I need to help my brother. His life might be in danger if he will not do his end of the bargain." Karen said while she looked at me. We are sitting in front of our food on top of the two-seater wooden table. "Thank you, Karen, I felt hopeful that you promised to help me, but I want you to be careful as…

Hunter's POV "I am sorry, buddy, but I need you to stay here in the helicopter because it is our job to rescue the crew of the Wildflower, including your wife," Phil said as he looked at me. I couldn't believe Roman and Cal would help each other to make me stay on my seat and handcuff me. I felt so frustrated that even my good friend, Phil, collaborated with my two trusted employees since he gave them a rope to tie my body on my seat. I was cursing under my breath as I looked at them. At the same time, I…

Madeline's POV "You need to listen to me, Karen. You can't get close with Madeline. I understand you wanted to have a friend. But she is not the kind of person you want to be friends with." I heard Captain Noah's voice, and I knew right away that they were arguing with each other. My eyes are still closed, and I wanted to open them and ask them how we survived? But my curiosity gets in the way. I could tell we were no longer in the Wildflower because I couldn't smell the smoke anymore, and the boat was…
