346Claire's POV Air was knocked out of my lungs as Hunter squeezed me in his arms. He was shaking, his arms were spasming around me. Small but disturbing sobs erupted from his lips over my shoulder. I held him tight and tried to rub my palm over his back in an attempt to calm him down. "Calm down, Hunter. You are behaving like a baby." I tried to chuckle and it sounded anything but. "You've seen worse than that, haven't you?" He squeezed me tighter as if I was the only one he could rely on. His weight made my knees shake. He was completely clinging to me and I struggled not to dwindle back and forth. As if he understood my struggle, he shifted back to deposit his weight against the car, while I stayed tightled clutched to his chest. "T-they were just children. How can anyone target them? It's not like they could harm anyone. They could barely harm an insect." He sobbed against my shoulder. I tightened my arms around him with everything I had. My arms burned from the strain, but
345(I forgot to add the TRIGGER Warning in the previous chap. Some readers may find this chapter disturbing. Readers discretion advised!) Claire's back went rigid. Hunter's left side of the shirt was gruesomely drenched with blood, which she knew was his own; his face was gray from concrete dust and he was holding a girl who was all red. Her frock was in tatters, her blonde hair was a dirty red. Hunter looked down to her face and his eyes widened.He kneeled down, patting the girl's face. She was breathing heavily. She clutched his shirt and said something to which Hunter leaned down to listen to her. There was dust in the air, and hence, it was difficult to see her lips moving. However, the next second her hand from Hunter's shirt fell down and her head slid back. She lifelessly stared up at the sky.The reporter was supposed to say something. But he was also caught off guard by how Hunter was frantically patting the girl's face, trying to get her to respond. A team of medics came
344The sound was very low. Claire pumped up the volume to max and gulped as she heard a male reporter covering the scene. "I'm reporting from outside St. Jacob's High School, where a tragic and heartbreaking bomb blast took place earlier this afternoon. The explosion happened when most students were still in their classrooms!" The reporter turned around to look at the school where dark smoke was still rising from the building. The east part has crumbled and collapsed. The camera zoomed in on the stretchers being rushed behind him. Many from the emergency team were rushing in and out with stretchers occupied by kids, or supporting teachers on their shoulders whose faces were covered with a gray layer of concrete dust; blood trailing from their heads or body. "As of now, we have confirmation that 55 innocent children have lost their lives. The number of injured is still unknown,and emergency teams are working nonstop to search for survivors and provide help." He paused to see a medi
343The next day was slow and painfully crackling with inevitable sparks between them. Hunter was in heat like an animal. He didn't hesitate to touch her inner thighs, chest, or her hips when they settled down on the table for breakfast. Claire glowered at him in warning many times, and he just shrugged."This is all your fault, okay! You shouldn't have kissed me if you didn't want anything more. You gave me a bite and now I want the whole feast." He said with a hiss and Claire eyed him."So... Should I let you fúck me now?""Absolutely." He said impatiently."You're crazy. I'm going upstairs to eat.""This is not fair, Claire! You shouldn't have started it if you don't want to..." Claire heard his voice fade away as she came sprinting into the living room.She placed a hand on her heart and began catching her breath. Her cheeks were crimson, her skin hot and her thighs thrumming dangerously. She squeezed them together and sat down struggling not to remember the way his fingers fondle
342Claire fisted her hands. This closeness was driving her crazy. With great difficulty she detached herself from him and scooted over to a safe distance."So, you're not shocked knowing that I'm Cara?"Hunter just smiled as a distant memory spilled into his mind. He was taken back in the past, eight months ago, when he first discovered that his wife was the legendary Cara.Flashback…Eight months ago, Hunter was working in his office with a frown. Though his eyes were on the screen of his laptop, his mind was on the recent pictures of Claire and Tyler making rounds on the internet. He was fuming, his mind conjuring images of Claire with Tyler in various positions. Hunter shook his head. He told himself to be positive and optimistic. Yes, he did something wrong, In fact, worse! But that didn't mean it was the end for him. He still had the chance to fix things, learn from it, and become a better person. He just needed to put efforts and push forward because it was going to take lot
341They were in the car going back home. But for some reason Hunter's face was dark and a muscle persistently moving in his jaw. Claire had expected a different reaction from him though. Shock, maybe. Or perhaps amusement (and a little pride too) for being one of the most famous people behind all those gossips in the country- The mysterious Cara.She didn't see any reason for him to be this grumpy out of nowhere. But she wasn't going to acknowledge it. Not even if her heart was banging rapidly in her chest as it wanted to know what he thought about her being Cara.Sure, she saw that look of extreme shock in the room when Kent revealed her identity. That was the only time she saw anything on his face. He was now sitting as stiff as a mannequin while looking out of the window at the world bustling on as usual."So, Cara ha!" He exclaimed and Claire's eyebrows went high.
