371Claire's POV My face burned with terror. I could feel tears going down my cheeks. "So stubborn! You just have to say yes." I didn't look at him. I don't know what I hate the most— His arrogance, or my helplessness. Anger snarled in my chest. I growled and started cycling my legs. Fine, MacIntyre, you want to see me dead. It's upon you. "What the hell are you doing?" He asked, his face becoming stiff as he saw me sinking down inch by inch. "Killing myself. This is better than asking for your help." I was down till my shoulders. My heart was banging everywhere in my body but I didn't care. I didn't want to give Hunter the impression that I depended on him for my survival. This may not be the death I wished for but— I whimpered when I felt my body being dragged out of the sand. When I looked straight, I noticed Hunter pulling me by my arms. Once I was on hard ground again, he gave me that smirk I wish I could erase like someone erases an outline of a drawing with an eraser.

373Hunter's POV "Claire, what the fuck!" I coughed. She was really squeezing my neck like she meant to kill me. I struggled and turned to my side, making Claire fall beside me. Her fingers loosened, I took it as my chance and got away. "Claire—" "JUST SHUT UP! What else do I do with you for kidnapping me? You destroyed my peace, Hunter. You destroyed my wedding and now you're destroying me. Just what do you want?" She hollered madly, her eyes bloodshot. I was startled by her outburst. She looked like a different person. This is what pain and anger does to you... And I have done vulgar things that's made her get consumed by anger to the brim. "Claire, I... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done this and that but I wanted to stop you from that marriage. I care about you. About your love. I know I've been a jerk earlier but now... I just want to give you all the happiness you deserve." I reached out to touch her. She moved away and got out of bed. She was going out. I quickly followed

375Claire bit her lips in remorse for the things she said to Hunter. They didn't come from her heart, but anger. She was pushed to say those things by him. And after everything she said, she didn't know how to go back to the cabin. She didn't want to face him just yet. Thus, she wandered around on the seashore.She dipped her feet in water and collected some shells so she could make a necklace out of it. She had collected many over the last few days. Her legs winced from all the wandering, and she finally decided to go back.When she came inside the cabin, she was welcomed by an inexplicable silence. It was as if the cabin never sheltered any living soul before. Claire's chest constricted in regret again. She stared up at the wooden stairwell, wondering whether she should go up or not.She had been out for a few hours and her body was aching. Claire mustered her courage and finally took the stairs. However, when she came to the room, it was empty. She gaped at the drying out blood amo

377Claire glimpsed around at the reporters and cameramen. They wore the ID cards of the channels they belonged to. But astonishingly none of them looked eager to cover this news. They stood waiting for Hunter to come out so they could pay their last respects to him."Cole and Hunter's father went to the address Zara gave... It was empty. It was a trap to get Hunter there, I believe. And then Cole got another call from Zara saying that she was disappointed in Hunter for not coming himself and for sending his best friend and dad when she just wanted him to come to the place alone. She ended the call saying that the upcoming consequences were the outcome of Hunter's negligence. Cole was agitated by the call. He didn't sit down for a second after that."He had been helping the cops and Hunter's dad. They searched for her all night and looked around the place Zara had texted him about. Then yesterday morning they found an unclaimed car in the parking lot of Hunter's office building. The C

379"I want you to stay here and make sure everyone is sent home safely." Hunter told him while gesturing over at Penny, Andrea, and some other women he knew. Rashid wanted to protest but he ended up nodding in agreement. He watched Hunter grasp Cole's arm and pull him along. Tyler was watching everything from afar. In fact, he made several discoveries after Hunter came last night. "Claire," Tyler went to her instead of Hunter. Claire looked up and smiled sadly. "I thought you both will come back happy. But this is stunning. What went between you two on the island?" "I said some things in anger and asked him to let go of me. So he did." Claire blinked back tears. Tyler stared at her astoundedly."Don’t tell me you used my name where you shouldn’t have and he actually bought it." Claire remained silent. "God! Are you two ever going to act like grownups, Claire." Tyler eyed her sternly.Claire grinned as her gaze wandered to Hunter, who was discussing something with Cole on the opp
