Stay Around You Now And Forever

If something happened to Emily, her blood … was also on his hands.

Hunter involuntarily clenches his fists.

He had never given much thought about what he had done to her.

And he didn’t know what it was that he cared so much.

What did he have to do with Emily’s life and death? She was only a woman he had ditched.

What was it that made him care so much?

But, damn it, he just did!

“I swear I’ll kill you if you don’t tell me where she is.”

Hunter narrowed his eyes, and there was a murderous frenzy inside.

Joe believed he meant what he said.

So what?

“Hunter, at least you’ve been with Emily for some time. Do you really think you can find her if she doesn’t want you to?” he sneered.

Hunter’s fists were tighter, and Joe suddenly felt difficult to breathe.

“Oh, Hunter, you are always so conceited. Why are you pleading someone else when you are already so capable?” he continued with the cold smile.

“I’m not pleading!” Hunter commanded, “Speak!”

“I don’t know.”

With a thud, Joe was thrown to the wall and then heavily onto the ground.

His lips began to bleed. Before he could take a break, Hunter trod on his chest.

Joe couldn’t breathe anymore, and blood rushed to his throat, almost suffocating him.

“Kill me if you want. I don’t know where she is. She didn’t tell me because she knew you’ll torture me!”

Hunter trod harder.

But deep down, he knew if Emily didn’t want herself to be found, she wouldn’t tell Joe at all.

Telling him meant killing him—she knew that.

Hunter felt so restless when he couldn’t find her. He just couldn’t find a way to let it out.
