Все главы Married to A Cruel Billionaire: Глава 31 - Глава 40

Everything was good until the night came up. After dinner I fell asleep waiting, but Hunter never got back in our suite. In the morning I woke up from the sound of the door opening, and he came inside. The first thing that caught my eyes were his disheveled clothes. Without sparing me a glance he strode straight inside the bathroom. Minutes after I started pacing around the room worried, he stepped out of the washroom fresh and ordered. I was going to ask about his previous condition, but someone knocked on the door. "Room service!" I frowned. "I didn't order anything," I muttered.Walking past me Hunter opened the door. "Here's your ordered phone, sir, and," the boy extended out a black envelope, "this letter was sent to you." Phone? A new one? What happened to his old one? Closing the

I opened my eyes, and a yelp left my mouth as pain shot through my head. I got up clutching my temples and let out some curses. That's what happened when you let your toxic assumptions get to your head. My eyes widened as my stomach contracted. Leaping off the bed I ran to the bathroom and spewed out all the contents from last night. Splashing some water on my face I got out and sat on the bed rubbing my forehead. My movement froze as the events from last night came into my mind. Jumping off the bed I looked around the room, my mind in full alert. I clearly remembered passing out on the sofa. How did I end up in the bed? Could it be Hunter? But wasn't he angry at me? I relaxed thinking about him when a shuffling sound came from the other room, and I frowned. Was he still in the suite? "Hunter? Is that you..." My words trailed off as my eyes scanned around the

The same rose-gold dress, the same colored mask, same low bun on chocolate brown hair... It looked as if I was dancing with Hunter.But I was here.Who... How... Was I hallucinating, or was that some long lost twin of mine that my parents forgot to tell me about? Suddenly the girl's eyes met mine from behind Hunter's shoulder, and her red lips curved into a smile; an evil smile that made the hairs at the back of my neck stand. She slowly started moving her lips to Hunter's neck and breathing in his scent while keeping her eyes at me the whole time. My feet started moving. I couldn't let that happen. I had to find out who she was, and what was going on. As I neared them my movement was ceased by a group of people blocking the way."Ah... Excuse me! Pleas- Ah! Let me pass, please." Getting myself out of the crowd I came to a halt a

"Which jungle?" "According to my calculations... California." "California?! That's so far away from home." I looked around at the uninhabited place as a new kind of fear started settling in my heart. Despite the beauty it held, the creepiness crawled into my mind like a spiraling serpent. I had seen enough news of hikers getting lost and found dead in the forests. Oh God! What have I gotten ourselves into?Hunter pulled down the parachute stuck in the tree that welcomed me so gently and turned it into a bright red arrow sign in the ground. Then he started marching ahead, not giving me a glance. "Wait for me!" Jumping back to my feet I ran after him. "If Chris and the crew did the same we should find them here somewhere, right?" Silence."How're we going to get out of here?"A bird somewhere from above twe

"What?" I went rigid."Come on! What are you waiting for?" Turning around he began running pulling me along with him, and I let him for my mind was still busy processing the new outrageous information just delivered. My head tilted over my shoulder for a confirmation look, and a gasp left my mouth. The one spiral of black smoke converted into a dozen more in a matter of moments. Was it a joke of fate or was death indeed closing in on us I had no idea. All I knew was that I didn't wanna die this way, I didn't want him to die because of my fault.My hand around his tightened while my pace quickened matching his perfectly. All the guilt, exhaustion, thirst and hunger was long forgotten, and only one thing circled around my head. Survival. Just as it did with all those lives present in the jungle. The happy chirping of the morning birds turned into pure shrieks, and the wild flapping of their wings sc
