Hunter's POV "Calixto, you are going to stay here in my office and review all the reports submitted within today, and you have to report if you find something suspicious," I said, and I can see how his eyes turned so big. "But, Mr. Divenson, I am going to pick up Madeline today; I just came here to tell you that I will be going now." He answered. "No buts, Cal, and you are not going anywhere," I said in a cold tone, and I can see the worries that registered on his face, and I can see he tried to…

Madeline's POV "I think we should head back to the main party now," Jack said, and I nodded my head. He stands up and offers his hand to me, and I take it happily, then he pulled me up, but Jack didn't let go of my hand after I stand up. I want to take it away from him, but I don't want to embarrass him, and by the time we meet Lianne and Lisa, my best friend's eyes widened, and I just shrugged my shoulders. Jack gets some pork barbeque and soda, and the four of us squat on the sand. I can't stop…

Hunter's POV "What?" I asked in an angry tone because I couldn't believe what I heard from Calixto's mouth. "You heard me, Mr. Divenson, Ms. Brownwood begged me to stay three more days in Magnolia Village, and I think it is only understandable because she likes her new family in that village." He answered. "Cal, I told you I am going to fire you if you can't bring Madeline to me. Are you challenging me?" I asked, and I am still irritated that I can't see her. For the past days, I became so preoccupied…

Madeline's POV "Cal, you can't do that, and I won't allow Hunter to fire you without valid reasons. He was the reason I run away in the first place, and he has no right to make your family suffer because of me. You have mouths to feed Cal, and this is my battle. I need to face Hunter because I can't let him do something unfair to the rest of you. Besides, I think I can't run away from him no matter what I do." I declared. "I am sorry, Madeline, but it is true. His men found you, but he asked me to…

Madeline's POV "Madeline, please don't run away from me. I come in peace." Calixto said, and his voice is begging me. "Take my order first. Then we will talk after, and I will also speak with Lydia before I eat." He said, and I hate that I like Calixto. He is like a father to me. I nodded as I handed him the ala carte menu. And as I write down his order, I can't control my hands from trembling, and I am so afraid now that he found me, and there is one thing I am terrified of, Tony's job will be at…

Madeline's POV A week passed quickly, and I became more in love with Magnolia Village as the days passed me by, and I couldn't believe I will find peace at last. This paradise makes me feel so alive for the first time in my life, and I am happy every day. I am glad I found this place. Lydia, Jack, and Lianne made my stay more enjoyable. I am proud of myself now that I learned the restaurant's menus since Jack gave me the menu list, and he helped me every night by explaining the ingredients of each…

Hunter's POV "Calixto, it is almost one week since Madeline was gone. I am not going to postpone the wedding. The date of the wedding is fast approaching, and what do you think I am going to tell the Mayor if you can't find Madeline?" I asked my assistant. "Just tell him you have a runaway fiancee." He said, and I give him a hard stare. "I am just kidding, Mr. Divenson, don't worry. I now have a lead. Someone saw Madeline at the train station, and I think we will start searching from town to…

Madeline's POV I don't know why I felt nervous as I dialed Lily's number, and I know because she is Hunter's sister after all, and even if I run away from the Divenson mansion, it doesn't mean my feelings for Hunter are gone, and just thinking about him makes me feel so weak. I know it would take me a long time before I can get over him. I can now say Hunter Divenson is my first love, and I hate that I fell in love with the person who bought me. I should feel disgusted towards him, but instead, he made…

Madeline's POV I quickly change my clothes into the above-the-knee black pleated skirt and the plain white blouse with three-fourth sleeves, and then I wear the black half apron to complete my attire. As I walk to the main restaurant, I meet a beautiful young woman wearing the same clothing as me. She smiled at me from ear to ear. "Hello, Madeline, my name is Lianne. Welcome to our diner." She said and hugged me, and I am surprised by her gestures, but it seems the Morigans are friendly. "Thank…
-
Hunter's POV I admit that I was affected by Maddie's disappearance, and I wonder where she is right now. I didn't return to the dining hall, but I asked Cerila to help me search the entire mansion. I have check all parts of our house, but she is nowhere to find, and I hate that I couldn't find her at all. I return to the second floor of our home, and I immediately go to Lily's room, for I am sure she finished eating breakfast by now. "Where is Madeline, Lily?" I asked my sister the moment she opens…
