As they made their way to the top of the cliff that overlooked the resort, Ava clung to HUnter as he tried to console her.“I’m sorry, Ava. I love you so much. I was just under so much pressure. When I saw you with her, I just freaked out.”“It’s okay, Master. I love you, too.”As Evaline joined the group she rolled her eyes at the couple. “You have got to be kidding me. isn’t this bitch dead yet?”Stepping to the woman he thought was his stepmother, he was ready to stand his ground. “You can do whatever you want to me. But I won’t let you kill her. I’ll stop you.”“Look around, Hunter,” she said with a laugh, “You don’t really have the upper hand here. Rowan and I are taking over Apollyon and there is not a damn thing you can do about it.”“Where are Onyx and Tessa? You better not have hurt them.”A slow smirk curled on Evaline’s lips. “Oh, you mean those sluts? Atlas and those whores escaped into the caves. We have our men searching for them. It will be a pity when they are found in

“You never learned restraint,” Rebecca said with a scowl.“Restraint? She’s cheating on me!”“I am not. How could you say that.”“Ava, you’re naked. How can you explain this.”Hearing enough Onyx walked over and smacked him in the back of the head, soon followed by Rebecca who gave him a shove, knocking him flat on his ass.Shocked, he looked over at Ava on the floor next to him who looked completely heartbroken. “What was that for?”“Look at her Hunter,” Onyx yelled. “She’s scared to death. I don’t know what the fuck happened here, but I didn’t fuck your girl. Where’s Tessa?”Rebecca stopped her from hitting him again, as she handed him the iPad. “You and Onyx need to watch the video. Tessa is with Atlas, and she’s safe. She told me everything when I came in.”Watching the video, Hunter saw the security video of Ava and Tessa laughing at the bar, behind them a man whom he knew too well slip up to the bar beside them, slipping something in Ava’s drink. His own board member that had be

Ava was pacing the floor while Hunter, Atlas, and Rebecca sat with the man with the burn-scarred face and watched her. Hunter was resting on the sofa and his submissive wasn’t very submissive at the moment.“I can’t believe you idiots didn’t tell me you knew this guy. And you!” she scowled pointing at the man. You scared the shit out of me that day on the beach. And come to find out your Hunter’s uncle!”“I’m sorry little red. I didn’t mean to frighten you. I couldn’t let you know who I was. Hunter and Rebecca hid me out here after my sisters' husband came up missing. Damion was my best friend and if they knew I was his silent partner, they would have had me killed too.”“And Atlas, I thought you were here to help. You’ve been drinking margaritas and cliff diving.”“Hey, I’m just here for moral support. This is all about fuck boy over here. I’m a reporter. If anything goes down. I’ll blow this thing wide open and bring the hag and her island boy toy to their knees.”Rebecca agreed. “A

Rushing into the bungalow, Ava and Rebecca were frantic, yet Hunter wasn’t in bed and nowhere in sight. “Hunter? Are you here? Rebecca, where is he?” Looking around the tiny island home, Rebecca ran to the restroom where she heard the water running and a pool flooding out from the doorway. What she was when she got there was a shock to the system and she rushed to her friend's side. “Ava! Come quick! Call the island medics!” In a pool of water that rushed from the tub, Hunter was lying face down on the floor, soaking wet and lethargic. “Hunter, wake up! Hunter!” When Ava reached the room, her hands flew over her face, trying to not let the scream escape her lips. “Master! Oh, God, no! Is he breathing?” “Barley,” Rebecca said as she scooped him up in her arms, taking him to the bedroom. “Help me get these clothes off him. I’ll call for help.” Hurrying to get his wet clothing free of his body, Ava was sobbing once her shirt was free. Resting her head on his chest, she was shaking

After Ava and Rebecca had uncovered what was going on, and the plot to kill Hunter, they were sure that Rowan and Evaline were out to take over the Constantine fortune and the Apollyon Corporation. Once Rebecca had lured Rowan away from Hunter, Ava made the call for him to meet her for lunch in a public restaurant on the island so there would be plenty of eyes on them. They couldn’t take the chance of being alone for a second.When reaching the restaurant, her master was already there with two place settings before him with food he knew she liked.As he sipped from his cool iced tea, she approached looking over the delicious island foods.“Hey babe, I ordered for us. I’m starving. The chef sent out this appetizer.”I’m sorry to say I already devoured it.”“Oh, it’s fine. You eat,” she said as he pulled a chair out for her. “Hunter we need to talk.”“Yeah, we do. Rowan found out about the project from some of my investors. I guess he’s wanting in on the deal.”Ava scoffed as she grabbe

When they returned to the island, Ava was across from Hunter in the bungalow with her head resting on her arms on the desk in the corner. He had been sulking for a while over the fact his project was going to be a bust. He needed to find out if the government was actually looking to take the idea, or if Evaline was lying. He assumed the latter but wasn’t willing to take the risk that for once she was telling the truth. Nothing was adding up and the stress was getting to him.“Master, is there anything I can do?”“No. I just need time to think this through. Why don’t you go find Rebecca and take security with you? I know you have to be hungry. Grab a massage while you’re at it.”“But–”“No, but’s. You’re still hurt and I want you to get some rest. Master’s orders.”With a huff, she grabbed her camera. “Fine. I’m going to take some photos of the windsurfers. I’ll bring you some lunch back.”Before she left, she kissed his forehead and headed to the door. Just as she was about to exit, a
