Chapter 41: Cruelty

Madeline's POV

"Are you alright, Madeline?" Hunter asked me as he found me standing on the floor, looking at the door after Charlotte left me, and I couldn't believe I remain motionless for a long time.

"Yeah, Charlotte dropped by." I said as I walked and went near my bed, and I sat down on the soft mattress and put my hands on my lap, and I avoided his gaze.

"Hey, I can tell you are upset, Maddie. Please tell me." He said in a soft voice, and as much as I don't want him to hate his sister, I hate how Charlotte treated me.

"She told me to leave you without a trace because it is only Kaye who deserves you." I said, and I lowered my eyes on the floor.

"Madeline, please listen to me." He said, and he moves closer to me, and he sat down beside me. Then he cupped my chin and put some loose strands of my hair at the back of my ear.
