<b>ire </b>was brought towards a bench near her ward to the opposite side of the corridor. She was made to sit, which she ignored, as her chest was burning.
Getting out of the hold of Cole, and turned to the whitewashed wall Upon the nk wall she could see the scene ying.
She thought back about how Hunter kissed Zara before the <b>door </b>closed, the burning sensation that <b>was </b>only in her chest began to envelope her entirely.
“ire, ire…” Someone was <b>talking </b>to her
Although she heard Cole’s name in Zara’s ward, she still hasn’t seen who it was. She only felt hands tugging at her wrists, trying to make her sit.
“You are pale, ire Breathe deeply.”
She went back inside <b>that </b>ward homing that witch psychologically, her eyes brimming with new tears.
Her body convulsed and the tips of her fingers <b>burned </b>with <b>chill </b>The realization that the scarlet, beautiful flower <b>has </b>bewitched Hunter to hold it made her lips tremble. He <b>was </b>pricked by the flower’s thorns. Its poison was in his body. <b>s</b>, rather than killing him, it has consumed him fully. Hunter was consumed. He was consumed. He was… Gone.
ire heard footsteps. This time she didn’t care to look up. It’s not like it was Hunter. By now, she had embraced the realization that no <b>matter </b>what happens to her<b>, </b>ye would nevere in time.
“ire, why are you shaking?” Penelope’s voice <b>red </b>in her ears
Raising her eyes ire tried not to give in to her overpowering emotions. She stared at her face and pressed her lips together. She wanted to talk, share how intensely her heart was aching. Yet all she could do was stare.
“Did <b>Zara </b>do something! I’m sorry. I was watching you from outside the door. I got a call and had to <b>leave </b>to attend it.” Penelope quickly hugged her.
She didn’t <b>wait </b>for her response. It was etched in Chaire’s painful expression that she had fallen victim to Zara’s deceit. She was holding her tight and rubbing her back when she heard a cough.
ire’s <b>back </b>steeled and her breathing became uneven. Penelope clenched her jaw as the person who coughed was Hunter. The look on his face was staggering.
He pinned his own wife with a look of contempt and usation. Also, his tightly set jaw indicated his irritation towards something he deemed ire had done.
“Both of you leave. I want <b>to </b>talk to her alone. When Hunter spoke<b>, </b>his voice was raw
“Yes, guys. Leave. There’s so much that we need to talk about.” Chire shortly said after as she refused to look away from him.
The cks of his eyes <b>stared </b><b>deeper </b>in the icy blues of hers. It <b>was </b>as though the dark sky was casting a smoldering gaze down on the calm ocean moments before a storm’s urrence,
Penelope knew it was wise to keep quiet and leave.

Incarnate.
“What you did inside is truly <b>horrendous</b><b>. </b><b>You </b><b>will </b>go inside with me and apologize to Zara now.” Hunter gripped her wrist when Penelope and Cole had departed.
<b>1/3</b>
Before he pulled her with him, ire held his wrist in turn as she said in a heavy <b>voice</b>, “Did you give her <b>a </b>ring?”
Hunter tur
around <b>and </b>stared at her. It hurt to see that his gaze was deadpan and devoid of emotion.
ire suffocated from within<b>, </b>observing that her husband had no emotion on his face. He was holding her hand, and unlike other husbands who glow and grin in excitement of holding their <b>wives</b>, he was looking down at her rather inly. It <b>was </b><b>as </b>if she was not his wife but <b>some </b>other woman
“Come with me now,”
“First answer my question, Hunter Macintyre. <b>ire </b>looked stright in his dark eyes.
She held <b>back </b>sobs. Unfortunately, she failed to keep her <b>tears </b>locked in. They trailed down in streams.
“Did you <b>give </b>her a ring?”
“So what if I did?” It hit her where she was already wounded… Her heart.
Her body felt limp. All the resistance she had developed inside her came tearing apart and falling around her.
“H–how could <b>you</b>? Even after you had <b>me </b>y–you gave her a ring! Her <b>voice </b>trembled
Hunter ignored her as the right corner of his <b>mouth </b>twitched.
“I don’t see any sense why <b>I </b>shouldn’t have given her a ring. It’s not a big deal.
“It’s not a big deal? So you think it’s <b>not </b>a big deal?” ire snatched her hand out of his <b>hold</b>.
She pushed her hands against his chest to shove him. Hunter didn’t budge. She held his cors and seethed in his face while tears poured from her eyes.
“Hunter MacIntyre, it <b>is </b><b>a </b>big deal to me because you cannot just give a ring to any woman while I am still with you. You know <b>what </b>it <b>means </b>when a man gives another woman a ring, don’t you?<b>”</b>
Hunter kept quiet as he didn’t feel the need <b>to </b>correct her.
He obviously knew what it meant. And he would never do it before they were legally divorced. That’s why he had bought a ring that was the least expensive <b>so </b>it wouldn’t raise doubts or wrong notions…. <b>Talk </b>less about onlookers‘ curiosity.
The ring was merely a medium to hide <b>a </b>tracker in it for Zara’s safety. It was meant to be used for a purpose beyond the one she was implying to.
It was useless exining to her. He deemed ire to be jealous and held her hand again.”
“Come with me.”
“No, I will not.” She used all her strength to put distance between them.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.
She wanted to be away from <b>the </b>man with whom she had once wanted to stay closer with
His hold felt like a furnaced iron rod cuffed around her wrist. She didn’t want to feel <b>it </b><b>again </b>hence she moved far away against the wall.
“I will <b>not </b>apologize because I didn’t do anything wrong<b>.</b>” She said between her tears.
Hunter stared at her coldly and <b>folded </b>his hands, “Carving her face and attacking her like that was not wrong? That’s what <b>you </b>want to <b>say</b><b>.</b>”
“I didn’t do that, alright! She did that to herself. She wanted to show me my ce. She wanted to show me that… That my

husband doesn’t trust me enough and that. That I’m wasting my time. She was sobbing by now.
“And probably she’s right. It was a whisper, referring to the <bst </b>sentence.
Her words made Hunter freeze. Her tears did something to him. Painnced through <b>him </b>at <b>the </b>view of her paleness but he didn’t take an initiative to soothe her.
ording to him Zara was wronged. <b>She </b>was a victim of rape andter on, attacked by his jealous wife for not being able to get his enough attention.
He avoided her tearspletely and tried to get a hold of her wrist again.
“I told you I’m not going to apologize to her. If anything it should be her apologising to me for destroying my wedding” ire moved away.
“Do you even know that she has fooled you? Zara wasn’t gang raped, Hunter. It was not a <b>gang </b>rape.” She wiped her tears as she walked towards him to add, “What you have seen as a gang rape was actually a gang bang that she-
“CLAIRE!” A loud shriek expelled from Hunter’s mouth<b>.</b>
His hand flew like a vengeful gust against her face, sending her against the <b>wall </b>where she hit the same wounded corner <b>of</b>
her head.
Atormented moan tore from her throat before ire passed out
