Stepping closer the person got down to my level, and rays of light shone on his physiognomy.
"C-Christian?"
"Oh God! What happened to you, Ember?" He scanned over me, shock and worry visible in his eyes.
I stayed silent not knowing what I should tell.
"Did... Hunter do something?"
I looked down as an ache shot through my heart at hearing that name.
"Alright, alright. We can have this conversation later. Let's take you home first. You might get sick." He extended his hands.
"I-I don't wanna go t-ther-" a fit of coughing left my mouth as my throat felt soared.
He pondered for a second. "Okay, then you can stay in my house. Come on!"

Doing a smokey burgundy eyeshadow over the lids I put on a similar dark lipstick. Examining myself in the mirror I curved my lips in a satisfying smile.I don't usually get ready like this at work but today was different for a meeting of the Elite Board was called for the members to attend along with their assistants of course, by the newly crowned head Mr. Hunter King, the true king of deceptive assholes, and I wanted him to see how good I'd been without him.&

I will take it from here."Officer Fox nodded ignoring the death glares Hunter sent his way and swiftly sauntered out.Walking to us the ranger stood at the other side of the table and extended his hand to Hunter.

Married to A Cruel Billionaire Charity Ball
A long sigh left my mouth as I sat in the meeting taking notes. Everything was the same just like before, yet something prime was different. The man sitting beside me. I pinched between my eyes holding back the tears preparing to flow out. I promised myself I wouldn't think about him, yet here I was on the verge of breaking down. No matter what he did yet my stupid heart yearned for him. Why did it have to be this way? Were those sweet gestures only an act? But how could someone act so bloody perfect? Having noticed my state Christian excused everyone and pulled me into the joint room with him. "What's wrong, Ember? I have been noticing your gloominess for a couple days now," he asked, the middle of his brows creased. "I'm fine, Christian. Just... can I stay out for now?" So that I don't

"Em, where have you been lost?""Nowhere! Nowhere at all. I'm fine. I'm fine." I put up a smile."Yes, you're fine, and we're eating nuggets not pizza," she stated, her chin slightly tucked.I looked down at the chicken nugget in my hand and let out a breath through my mouth. I hadn't been me since the ball. It was as if my body was moving around without my soul which I left at a particular hallway. My brains refused to believe that questionable encounter with Hunter ever happ

I stared at the starless dark sky laying in the bed and thinking. What could have happened if I stayed there for seven hours with him? A picture of his sweaty hard muscles entangled with mine under the duvets turned up in my mind. I shut my eyes tight, shaking my head. Stop it, Ember! I opened my eyes back, and his eyes came to my mind. They say eyes never lie. I had been noticing those entrancing sea-green eyes since the beginning, and how they were changing. Where before resided only hatred now danced a thousand emotions. Was it all really not an act anymore? Had he really chang- I jumped as my phone began vibrating beside me.

Hands pinned, bodies arched, sheets tangled, and the air filled with moans and groans. Sea-green eyes gazed intensely like peeking right in the soul.Until...Obscurity took over the iris, horns grew over his head and canines sprouted into fangs.

A shriek left my mouth as my eyes landed on the figure sitting on a chair in a corner of the room with one long leg resting over the other while watching me."Hunter! What the heck are you doing here?""You are up." He slowly stood up, muscles flexing under his navy blue waistcoat.

We don't need your help.""Since the Kings Corp is solely responsible for Mr. Collins's state, all the costs will be handled by the company as amends," he replied, his tone and expression impassive, screaming only business.I opened my mouth to protest when someone clearing their throat interrupted me. I looked sideways, and an aged man stood there with a staff uniform on and a folder in his hand.He glanced at Hunter. "Sir, we need your signature in some paperwork. Please, come with me."
