Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 821

Wiona honestly believed Tatum's promise to give Madison her freedom after a year was complete nonsense designed to trick her. There was no way he would let her go after searching for her for eight years. He had spent all those years trapped in the shadow of their breakup. Now that he had finally caught her, he might still be confusing his lingering love with a thirst for revenge or wounded pride, but the trap was sprung. The marriage was a done deal.

In Wiona's view, "Instead of agonizing over it, you might as well just lie back and enjoy the ride." She tried to lighten the mood and cheer Madison up.

Madison's face flushed bright red. She grabbed Wiona's arm and shook it frantically. "What did you just say? Enjoy it? How am I supposed to enjoy this? I'm absolutely terrified of him, and you want me to enjoy it! Yes, he can shield me from my family's arranged marriages, but I have no idea how to just casually exist around him. Every time I remember that I ruined eight years of his life, I feel so guilty I want to vanish. I'm terrified your entire family will find out. I'm terrified that those elders who treated me so warmly yesterday will realize I'm the awful girl who destroyed him back then. I'm terrified you'll all glare at me with hatred. And I have absolutely no idea how he plans to torture me."

Wiona quickly pulled Madison into a tight hug. "Shh, it's okay. Don't be afraid. I'm right here." Wiona realized with a pang of guilt that Madison was truly terrified. She should have slept in Madison's room last night. If she had, Madison wouldn't be in this state of panic now.

"I'm so sorry, this is my fault for not paying attention. I'll stay with you tonight. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, he won't hurt you." Wiona continued to soothe her. "Besides, I really don't think he's going to actually hurt you. Don't forget, he spent eight years looking for you. Why would he risk scaring you off again? He just wants to keep you close to prevent the past from repeating itself. He's harboring resentment over how you left him. Once he cools down, he'll likely move past it. And my grandmother and aunts would never treat you badly. Even if they found out you were that girl, they would only be relieved he finally found you, and they'd hope you can heal his broken heart. Hating you would only hurt him more. The Blue family is full of kind-hearted people. Please try to trust me, okay? If you give him your genuine heart, you'll definitely get sincerity in return."

Wiona's gentle words successfully calmed Madison's turbulent emotions. Still, she couldn't entirely process the reality of her sudden marriage. She clung tightly to Wiona's arm, refusing to let go. "Then you have to stay with me constantly. At least for tonight, please don't let him take me away." She genuinely feared she might have a total breakdown if she were left alone with him.

Wiona's heart ached, and she readily agreed. She resolved to find someone to create a minor crisis at Tatum's work, ensuring he would be far too busy to demand his wedding night.

The day passed in a flash, and night quickly fell. Madison had practically glued herself to Wiona's side all day, mimicking her every move. She even happily helped look after the twins. She had always adored Kane and Derek, and now that the boys were almost five months old, they were at their absolute cutest.

As darkness settled over the estate, Madison's anxiety visibly spiked. She was terrified Tatum would suddenly appear and drag her off. Wiona smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. He's not coming back tonight."
