Chapter <b>66</b>
“You want to be with her again?” Cole raised an eyebrow before he exploded into peals ofughter.
He was happy on the inside that Hunter finally realized his feelings. Still, he wanted to make him feel guilty <b>for </b>his deeds and continued tough out loud,
He held his belly and shook his head. Hisughter resonated in the air around them. Hunter’s gaze zed on his face. He fisted his hands on his sides while looking away. But Cole didn’t stop. He hughed till his jaw and stomach ached.
Then as he came to nce at his friend, his eyes <b>sparked </b>with <b>malice </b>and lips twisted.
In this some kind of joke! ire is not a toy, Hunter, that you <b>can </b>throw away and want it back when you see someone else ying with it
Hunter’s gaze simmered with warning. The darkness in them served as a visual representation of his wrath. He hated the fact that ire waipared to a toy.
Cole was shaken for a second but <b>he </b><b>stood </b>to his ground as someone had to give Hunter <b>a </b>reality check. Because the way he treated his ex–wife w
“What? My words are humiliating. Maybe they are. But you are the one who left her as theughing stock for the world. You did worse things to her. Hunter. Then I wonder why my words make your <b>eyes </b>flicker?”
“I am not the only one calling <b>her </b><b>a </b><b>toy</b><b>.</b>” Cole <b>said </b>with a chuckle. “Everyone on the inte says the same thing”
“In fact, after the article concerning her and Tyler was released, there have been more rumors. Do you want me to state them down for you!” Cole saw fire in his eyes that made him look away,
This was the limit. He <b>had </b><b>grazed </b>the hottest |
st part
of him, with his grating words, which was sore and sensitive,
“It’s toote, Hunter. I would have been happier if you happened to perceive your feelings a month ago. It’s <b>useless </b>now. She’s gone from your life. You are not entitled to her. Leave her alone. Let her live her life without imposing yourself on her” Cole heaved, making Hunter’s face flit up to meet his tired gaze.
Cole was staring his thoughts, and what he believed <b>was </b>right for him and her.
I’m your best friend. We have seen many asions together. But this time, you messed up a great deal, Hunter. <b>As </b><b>an </b>individual I think ire deserves a guy who is not <b>you</b>. You can’t have her again.”
A very familiar and sharp <b>pain </b>pierced Hunter’s chest at the words. He tried not to stagger but it <b>was </b>too much to bear. His own best friend was saying things he shouldn’t.
1… Know I have destroyed my happy marriage with my own hands. I shouldn’t bother her and all that. What about my <b>heart</b>? It wants to be with ber. Hunter said in an undertone<b>, </b>his <b>voice </b>edged with pain.
“Kill your heart. Make it stop beating if that’s what it would take to stop you from stalking her like a psychopath”
“Maybe ire’s family and friends told her the same thing when she fell in love with me years ago! But she didn’t stop no matter what others told her. She listened to what her heart said. I’m going through the same phase. A <b>small </b>smile touched his lips. The time has reversed. Cole. It’s my turn to chase my love. If ire didn’t hesitate to chase me<b>, </b>why should I <b>will </b>take my chance.
Cole <b>was </b>amazed to see him smiling. He shook Hunter and hissed, “Are you crazy, Hunter? Do you even know what you’re saying! You can’t have <b>ire </b>again. She will <b>never </b>take you back?
“I know I don’t deserve a second chance and ire will never take me back.” Hunter’s smile widened.
He was really acting crazy. Thought Cole.
“That doesn’t mean I <b>shouldn’t </b>try. ire would hate <b>me </b>more if I don’t go after her. She will regret her choice. Hunter said <b>and </b>turned around to <b>make </b><b>a </b><b>call </b>to his investigator
While he was busy instructing <b>him </b><b>to </b>get <b>him </b>all the details of the man ire went on a date with, anger ovepped and bubbled in Cole’s chest.
He’s going to make ire hate him the most. Damn you, Hunter Macintyret <b>You’re </b>pitifully unlucky in love. You were heartbroken the first time you loved someone and left alone. When someone else loved you, you ignored her. Now that she doesn’t want to even see your face, you want to be with her again! There’s no other chance to redeem yourself. The crimes you havemitted are abominable” Cole murmured under a breath while shaking his head.
However, the determination he saw in Hunder’s eyes stummed him. He looked so focused and stayed put.

“Fine. If you think you can win your ex–wife over again then go ahead with it. Good luck with it. I just hope you won’t end up hurting her more
“What happened? Why are you looking so grim <b>all </b>of a sudden?” <b>Cole </b>came back to present.
Hunter was brutally silent. His jaw was so tight that it looked like he might break it, considering all the force he was using <b>to </b>gnaw his teeth.
“<b>That </b>fucker. He is Pavel Maury, a model by profession. He’s used of molesting several struggling models in the name of providing them work Hunter’s eyes were pools of brewing sin as he lifted hisshes. “He’s taken ire to the pubs where those models imed Maury took them.”
<b>“</b><b>And</b>“”Suddenly Cole’s skin was feeling hot.
Ever since issues emerged in <b>ire </b>and Hunter’s life, he dered that he was team ire. He was supporting her even after she refused to see him. Hearing Use intel Hunter just shared, he shuddered in worry for her.
“The manager and the senior bartender are his allies. They work together to drug the girls and take advantage of them.”
<b>“</b>This sounds like raw trouble.” Cole confessed.
“They won’t be able to make a sound if any one of them dared to do anything with my woman
Cole’s eyebrows flew high in stupor. Hearing Hunter call ire his woman sounded weird.
“What now?
“I am going to the pub. You stay here.”
“Wait, what” Cole frowned. “Zara is your responsiby. No, Liability Maybe both. Whatever it is you are bound to her so you will stay. I will go to the pub,”
“What right <b>do </b>you have to go t

<b>Hunter </b>quivered in a mad fit of rage.
“And I am her…” His high–pitched voice trailed out. I am her ex–husband now” The words were a soft murmur,
“Exactly. You are her ex–husband. She would rather want to be hurt than be saved by you. So let me go Cole had a point.
Hunter wasn’t ready to let him <b>go</b>. After <b>all</b>, it <b>was </b><b>him </b>who had to make efforts <b>to </b>rebuild his image in her eyes.
“Let’s go together. <b>Hence </b>he suggested. It was another shocking revtion for Cole,
He was about to ask how he can leave Zara alone while she’s being operated when Hunter stated, “She’s in one of the best hospitals of Bloomcrest. Nothing will happen to her
“Your good deeds done in RavenMoore has gotten their attention, dumb fuck!” <b>Cole </b><b>said </b>with a serious <b>look</b>. “Don’t make it obvious that you don’t want her any more. They weren’t doing anything to her because she was under your wing. If you show that you don’t care at all then she’s a dead body<b>.</b>”
Hunter seemed to think about it. He didn’t take more than two minutes before announcing. “I’ll leave three of my guards <b>to </b>look after her.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“It’s <b>not </b><b>a </b>good idea.
“ire is alone with that pervert, Cole! I can’t waste more time. <b>You </b><b>can </b>stay here for her if you want. Or let the guards take care of her.” Hunter said with finality, leaving no room for arguments.
<b>Cole </b>hissed as he shook his head. His best friend’s way of love was different and merciless. When he thought he was in love with Zara, he treated. <b>ire </b>with ignorance. The cycle was moving again but this time it was Zara on the worse side of the spectrum, falling victim to his ignorance and heartlessness.
In the end, they decided to go to save ire together, and as stated, three of Hunter’s personal bodyguards remained behind for Zara
They were driving silently in Hunter’s car when Cole noticed him loading bullets in his glock.
<b>“</b><b>You </b>don’t need a gun to resolve this issue!”
“Anyone who touches ire is going to get a bullet between their eyes.” Hunter didn’t look up.
Bewilderment rendered Code breathless. He didn’t know whether this reaction <b>was </b>the side effect of pure love… Or a jealous ex–husband’s

She swept a wary gaze around her and felt blood <b>rushing </b>south in her belly. The women here were poorly dressed and men didn’t look decent. The music was cringe and the air sanelled of bad stink of alcohol and smoke.
“This is a heaven for people like us, <b>ire</b>, who need an escape from the <b>harsh </b>realities of life.” Pavel replied while leaning into her.
She promptly moved away and forced him <b>a </b>nervous grin

Although ire smiled at him, she didn’t like his touch on her bare flesh. It was burning and making her ufortable. When she looked at him, her conscience screamed at her.
