Ezra closed the bathroom door hard still with a red face from holding back anger for Mila who was very stubborn. All this time he had wrongly judged her as a weak woman. In fact, Mila is more than capable of fighting him.
When he stopped in front of the large mirror in Mila's room, he observed his own face which was very messy. Mila's hands this morning have managed to make small scratches on the surface of his face up to around the chin where coarse sideburns grow. There was a small wound that was bleeding on his cheek from Mila's fingernails. After this he had to cut Mila's long nails immediately so she wouldn't use them to claw at him like a fierce female cat.
After that he saw Mila's big bed which was very messy since last night. Traces of them making love are still clearly visible there. He could even see a little red stain on the surface of the sheets that peeked out from under the thick blanket that was lying haphazardly on the bed. Mila is a virgin.
He had no idea that this woman had not been touched by anyone. He thought Hunter had become the first for Mila, remembering how rotten Edward Louise had been all this time who had planned various kinds of tactics to control all of Mila's parents' vast inheritance.
Did the woman know about her parents? Ezra doubted it very much because Louise and Hunter must have always kept the secret secret from Mila. They were all too cunning, too greedy, and too bloodthirsty to be undefeated victors.
Ezra glanced at the bathroom door that was still tightly closed in front of him. It had occurred to him that maybe Mila would do something dangerous to herself in there. But when the sound of gurgling water finally reached his ears, a sinister smile slowly appeared on his face. He thought Mila was too stubborn to die today. That woman must have had such a huge grudge against him that she didn't let the grim reaper take her life today before she managed to hurt him to avenge all his depraved deeds last night.

The suite has two floors and is located in the topmost building of a five-star hotel in Los Angeles. The building is a classic style with gold pillars making the suite the most expensive suite in LA. For a week Hunter had rented the suite all to himself. In addition to the smooth running of his work, Hunter intended to seclude himself in the suite a few days longer than necessary just so he wouldn't see his beautiful sister at home too much. It was the cruelest torture he had to endure in years. Even though his house is much more luxurious than this suite, living in that house is like torture for him as long as he can't touch Mila like he always imagined.
He couldn't see Mila's sexy body hanging around him. He couldn't stand it when Mila stood too close to him to be spoiled like before, when they were too young to understand the feelings between a grown man and a grown woman. And unfortunately, that feeling was just a one-sided feeling that he felt. Mila has never considered him as a man who deserves her love. Mila only thinks of him as a favorite older brother who will always be a place to take refuge when she starts to be surrounded by problems.
Hunter was eating his breakfast, a plate of delicious prawn salad and a fresh fruit platter neatly arranged on a white round plate when suddenly his assistant came with a pale face and handed him the black tablet.
"What's wrong, Nick?"
"Something bad happened to Miss Mila." Nick exhaled slowly through his nose, afraid of his boss' imminent reaction after seeing what he was carrying in his hands. "You should see the video that Ezra Carlos sent you now, sir."
Nicko was still in shock replaying the hot fuck video that Ezra had just sent to his boss. Actually, this video cannot be said to be a video of sexual activity, because Ezra abused Mila. Ezra blatantly hurt and slapped Mila when she started to struggle. Then the crazy man also tied Mila to the bed so that she was powerless to fight against his terrible cruelty.
"What's wrong with Milla? He made another mess at home? Who else is the target of her pranks this time?” Hunter chuckled at the thought of Mila's childishness, even though she was already twenty four years old.
As a grown woman, sometimes Mila forgets and acts very silly like a child when she starts to feel bored. All of their servants at home had been the target of Mila's outrageous pranks. One day one of the old servants at their house screamed loudly because Mila had made fun of her with a very large rubber snake. Besides that, there is still a lot of annoyance that Mila does at home when she is getting bored with her family life, which is too busy doing activities outside the home.
“Ahh, my sweet little sister always makes me feel worried with her attitude. Several times she also made noise on campus so that I would not continue to ignore her. But I can never really see her. Being around her just makes me more tormented and frustrated.
“Mila is a beautiful and attractive woman. She has a body shape that is so tempting to taste. Even though my father had forced me to marry Mila as soon as possible so that I could take over her late parents' estate, I couldn't do it. I love her too much Nick. She is the first woman who can make me completely helpless like this." Hunter told me with glazed eyes staring blankly at his plate of food which had only been touched slightly. Suddenly he became full because he was thinking too much about Mila.
"So what's the news from my little sister?"
The tablet was already on the table when he looked down to see what Nick was carrying. His smile slowly faded as the video started playing and it continued until the end of the video which didn't have a happy ending. The main characters in the video both emit screams that have different meanings. The male actor ended up contentedly collapsing on top of the woman who looked in so much pain after all the violence she received from the man.
“Fuck! What was that jerk doing in my house? How dare he touch My Mila? He must die. Ezra Carlos must die by my hands!” shouted Hunter angrily before the tablet hit the wall and shattered in front of his face.
Prang!!
Not satisfied with just destroying one thing, Hunter channeled all his anger into the plates that still contained a lot of food roughly until they scattered under the table. He then quickly grabbed his jacket and cell phone to call the airport so they could arrange a private plane for him right away because he had to get back to Chicago soon. He swore that when he arrived in Chicago the first person he would look for would be Ezra Carlos. No matter what happened, Ezra Carlos had to die at his hands.
"Hurry and call my parents, they have to go back to Chicago right now because Ezra Carlos has stolen their valuable assets," Hunter ordered firmly to his assistant before he stepped quickly out of his luxurious suite.

Ezra took Mila away from Louise's luxurious family mansion after they had to have a tough argument that was so fierce. While driving the car, Ezra's eyeballs occasionally glanced at Mila's movement, which looked calmer than before. Since he dragged her into his car, Mila has become quieter and doesn't argue with him at all. Even though he had prepared mentally to serve the debate that would be carried out by that woman, but never mind. He thought it was much better, so he could focus his attention on the long road ahead.
"Eat this, you haven't eaten since morning."
Suddenly Ezra threw a package of tuna sandwich on Mila's lap. Even though he's a jerk, he won't let a weak woman like Mila starve when she's with him, because a woman's life is important to him. Apart from Mila being the key to taking revenge on Louise's family, Mila being alive is also necessary to reclaim the Queen's group's huge inheritance. In his heart, Ezra admits that he is tempted to control the property belonging to Queen's group—which belongs to Mila's parents, which has long been contested by his family and also Louise's family.
But he doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes of the old days. The treasure is like a curse treasure for his family. Due to fighting over the treasure, his whole family must die in vain. His family was betrayed by Louises, and now Hunter also bears the sins of his parents because Hunter is their legal heir.
Initially Gustav Carlos and Edward Louise worked together to bring down Kohen James. They agreed to share the assets they got in accordance with the agreement they had written down on paper of legal value that had been made by Edward's attorney. But before Gustav signed the affidavit, Edward Louise had planned a gruesome murder for Mr and Mrs Carlos so that they would not get the treasure from the Queen's group owned by Kohen James.
On the night of the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Carlos, Ezra managed to escape the horrific event because he was out of town visiting his grandmother. But even though he managed to survive the horrific event, his heart and mind could never forget that horrific event just like that. He continued to find out about the mysterious deaths of his parents for years until finally when he grew up, the truth was finally revealed. This unfortunate incident was the result of a struggle for property that was preceded by a bloody event.
After years of harboring hatred for Louise's family, he wants to avenge his parents who were betrayed by Edward and his wife. He wanted them to feel the pain he had felt for years because of the tragic death of his parents. He would not let Edward Louise get any of the Kohen James treasure. The treasure must return to its rightful owner. The treasure must be returned to Mila James Louise so that the chain of murders can be broken immediately and no more victims.
“I said eat! Do you want me to force you?”
Mila turned her head in annoyance while looking flatly at Ezra who started to pull over his car on the side of a deserted country road. He looks so cruel and authoritarian, making Mila feel annoyed to be around him.
“I'll eat when I'm hungry, so you don't have to bother pulling over your car and forcing me to eat. Who do you think you are, huh! Even Hunter and my parents never forced me to eat or reminded me to eat at home. So you have no right to force me with your disgusting arrogant style because you have no right to control my life," Mila replied arrogantly.
But Mila started to open the wrapping paper for the sandwich given by Ezra and then she immediately ate it with gusto. Even though she was lazy to admit it, she was honestly very hungry. And the sandwich was so good it made her want to ask one more sandwich from Ezra.
“Eat this. You have to eat it all."
As if he understood that Mila was really hungry, Ezra threw another pack of sandwiches at Mila after he took it from the passenger seat behind. From Mila's body language, he knew that this woman was starving. Moreover, last night he had drained her energy to keep up with his rough and brutal arousal. Now he is sure that one sandwich will not be enough for Mila. At least Mila needs to eat two sandwiches before they get to his house later.
“By now Hunter must have seen all those hot videos. When we make love. Hmm, he will definitely be confused looking for you when he gets home later.”
Mila immediately stopped chewing her sandwiches while looking angrily at Ezra. She felt so sick of that man. Actually the reason for giving up on Ezra this time was to see how much Hunter and her parents loved her. She wanted to see the expression on their faces when they found out that their only daughter was kidnapped by a bastard man who was currently driving next to her. But with her submissive attitude that didn't mean Ezra could humiliate her as he pleased like that. What will her family think after they see the video of her rape yesterday. They would be very ashamed to have a daughter like her.
Bughh
"You evil! You should have died asshole! You have ruined my future. Get off me! I don't want to go with you. I want to die!"
Mila goes berserk brutally. She hit Ezra's arm hard, pouring out all her anger on Ezra for ruining her life. Even all of her dreams. She distracted Ezra's concentration and the car they were riding in tilted to the right, going off the road.
"Stop it! Stop beating me up, bitch!"
Ezra shouted angrily. He tried to keep the car in its lane and pushed Mila's body so hard that she hit the door.
Ezra's attempt to silence Mila is successful. She was silent for a moment. Her head just drooped on the surface of the window with a blank look that only led to the monotonous street in front of her. Meanwhile, her cheeks were now moistened by teardrops that slowly slid down from her beautiful clear eyes. All of that did not escape Ezra's black eyes which were flashing with anger at this time.
"What are you doing?! If you want to die, you have to wait a little longer because I still need you alive. You have to stay alive until this thing is over and those bastard Louise get what they deserve for all the bad things he did in the past,” Ezra snapped angrily.
His fingers gripping the steering wheel tightly to channel all his anger and to prevent himself from acting foolishly by strangling her fragile neck.
Really he was very tempted to do that. Especially when Mila started going berserk while beating him, he really wanted to throw her out of his car, which currently has a high speed. If he threw the woman's body from his car, Mila would not have had the chance to feel the pain before her death. She would immediately be crushed to death by other cars that were going as fast as the car behind her.
Mila didn't say anything when Ezra snapped at her loudly. She let the tears roll down her cheeks to channel her bubbling emotions. She then turned her face toward the window while throwing the sandwich that was still half under her chair.
She is no longer in the mood to eat. She had lost all her hunger because Ezra had ruined her life so that there was nothing left of her life except her pride that had been torn apart.
But what didn't she know all along? Why did that man keep saying her family was evil and she was not the biological child of Edward and Monica. Who are her real parents? Had she been sold by her parents to Louise's family? But if that's the case, why did the crazy man next to her keep on talking about the Queen's group's vast treasures and she didn't know anything about it at all. Why doesn't she know everything?
"What—"
Ezra suddenly jabbed something in her arm and made her gasp in surprise for a few seconds. She was trying to figure out what had just happened to her, but something Ezra had stabbed into her arm was slowly starting to work to completely lose her consciousness.
"What have you done to me?" Mila asked weakly to Ezra who only glanced at her sarcastically while still concentrating on the wheel.
Her whole head was spinning and throbbing. Slowly her eyes became blurry, and slowly Ezra's grinning face disappeared, replaced by thick darkness that began to pull her away from this painful realization.
“Good night Mila James Louise.”
Hunter walked into his house with big, hurried steps. His steely jawline twitches as he discovers his home still remains the mess left by Ezra and his men. There was blood everywhere, splattered among the corpses strewn on the floor. Glass and broken things everywhere. They had attacked his entire house when none of his family was home to protect Mila. His hands were currently tightly clenched under his suit, ready to beat up all of his men who were incompetent in guarding Mila.He stepped into the living room of his house and saw several of his men still tied together with their mouths covered with duct tape. Ezra apparently still left some of his men to be witnesses of all the atrocities he had just committed at his house.With anger already at the top of his head, Hunter roughly pulled the shirt collar of one of his men who was having bad luck today, then he immediately beat the poor man mercilessly until the sound of bones breaking repeatedly sounded in his ears. But he didn't car
After they arrived on the first floor, Felix guided Mila to turn right, through a hall leading to a french door on the right that led to another, quieter and dreary hallway. Mila almost felt doubts and wanted to stop following Felix because it seemed that she was just being toyed with by the male servant. But then Felix stopped in front of a brown door and turned to look at her who looked so tense. “Mr. Ezra is inside. Do you need anything else, Miss?” “Erm... I need a drink. Can you take it inside?” Mila feels bad because she had prejudice against Felix. Felix just showed a friendly smile that looked warm. When he smiles his dimples form a hollow in his cheek which makes his face more pleasant to look at. Mila feels at ease around him now that he is proving to be not as evil as she thought. "Okay, I'll bring you a drink after this." Felix leaves. Mila exhaled loudly to get rid of the feeling of fear that was currently infiltrating her heart. However Ezra was a bad man who had r
"It's too cold outside, Miss." The voice was not at all foreign to her. He was the man who had greeted her kindly and had charming dimples. Without turning around Mila asked, "I don't know your full name yet." "Me?" There was an amused note in his voice that Mila managed to catch between the very soothing sound of the wind. But she didn't care if the question sounded strange to the man's ears. “My name is Felix Burlow. You can call me Felix.” "Nice to meet you, Felix." "The pleasure is mine, Miss." Then there was no more conversation between them. Felix just silent, but he did not move the slightest from his place. Mila could feel Felix's presence, his body heat and his steady breathing. "Where are we?" “A place quite far from civilization.” Felix chuckled. This place is very quiet. There is nothing here but trees that look scary because of the lights that only turn on above her head to illuminate the terrace which is only filled with three wooden benches and a small, plain
Mila sat up on her bed anxiously. She had thought through all of Ezra's threats and she was starting to worry about Jonas. What if her boyfriend gets dragged into this? Mila wrung her palms in her lap and began to feel the frustration that was choking her neck. This is all her fault. She should have anticipated this sooner if she didn't play around too much and think that the princess's life would be hers forever. "Whoa, idiot!" Mila chuckled sarcastically to herself. How stupid she was for never thinking that what Louises was doing was fake. Edward had been good enough, but she was sure that his attitude was not that of a father who loves his daughter. She remembered how Edward had reacted when she had performed with her band in a theater ten years ago. Edward wasn't the least bit enthusiastic. Edward only lightly stroked the top of her head and congratulated her in an even tone. Meanwhile, the woman who she thought was her mother, just smiled briefly and walked away without saying
Mila opened her eyes and found herself lying alone in her dark and silent room. The voices of the night animals shouted to each other outside, singing heart-wrenching night serenades. Mila repeatedly breathed heavily, hoping that none of this was real and she never heard Ezra Carlos apologize to her.But damn it's all real. The sight of her messy bed is clear evidence that what she experienced a few hours ago was not just a bad dream that would fade from her memory over time. A few hours ago Ezra actually came into her room and almost raped her again. But don't know what made Ezra decide to back down and instead apologize to her. Mila felt it was really bad. Maybe Ezra was trying to get her sympathy and waiting for her to let her guard down so he could attack her again or fuck her.Mila slowly got up from her bed. She walked with unsteady steps towards the bathroom to wash her very messy face. Eyes red and puffy, nose red, hair very matted like straw. Mila could barely recognize herse
The alarm in his head went off. He opened his eyes, then sat on the edge of the bed to stretch his muscles that were stiff after waking up. The clock above the nightstand still shows a few minutes to five. He could always wake himself up with the alarm he had set inside his head.Ezra made his way to the bathroom. He washed his face and wiped it with a towel. After that he walked to the window, observing the sight of the forest which was still dark with flocks of birds that had just flown noisily flapping their wings. They flew from the point where he had set traps for the deer. He was sure that today he had caught a stunning catch.Five minutes later Ezra came out of his room with a parka jacket wrapped around him and a black hat. He carried a hunting rifle in his right hand. On the stairs Ezra met Felix who had just left the kitchen."You're going hunting?"“I'm going to take a look at the trap I set yesterday. Looks like we got a good hunt.” Ezra grinned widely."Deer? We still hav
"I want the rest of my payment sent as soon as possible.""Don't worry. You know for sure that I never let you down, Carlos.”Ezra lit the gold codfish lighter and lit the cigarette that was sandwiched between his lips. One hand holding the phone to his ear, listening to a series of nonsense said by his client on the other side."I know. But other than that I need you to give me an update on Hunter and Louise.”“What attracted you to them? Will they be your next client? Or your new target?”"None of your business. Just tell me what they're doing. Weren't you involved in some projects with him?”The strong wind had just blown Ezra's hair and the tail of the leather jacket he was wearing. He was standing on top of one of the skyscrapers in Chicago with an amazing night view landscape. Unfortunately he did not come to that place to enjoy the beauty of the Chicago city at night. He came there to complete an order from his Client.“So far they have been a fairly fair business partner. It's
Mila snorted inwardly and tightened her jaw tightly when Ezra— for the umpteenth time, repeated his words firmly and full of threats in front of her wide campus grounds.“There's no way to escape. You understand? When you try to escape, the video will spread throughout the campus. All the careers you have dreamed of will be gone in an instant.”"I know. You don't have to repeat it in front of me until I'm fed up.”“That is indeed my goal. Make my message sink perfectly into your brain and you will always remember.""I remember. In fact it's so clear in my brain and it keeps echoing in there like a broken record.”Ezra didn't respond to that and instead discussed other things."Don't even think about asking your lover for help.""He's not my lover anymore." Mila said bitterly. " I will end our relationship today.""Good. It is better for you not to have anything to do with anyone until this revenge plan is over.”"That's your business and not mine. You dragged me into your damn revenge
Mila walked through the living room towards the front door with her eyes half closed. Her apartment bell rang loudly many times to wake her who fell asleep after breastfeeding Gerrald in her baby room. Luckily, Gerrald didn't wake up because of the sound of the apartment bell that the annoying guest kept pressing repeatedly. "Wait a moment." Mila shouted in annoyance between the sound of the bell that kept echoing around her. Mila quickly pressed the combination numbers on the lock panel and a soft beep sounded at the door. The annoying knocker immediately burst in while growling in annoyance. “Why did you have to change your apartment password? I've been standing outside for half an hour." "I overslept while nursing Gerrald." Ezra's eyes moved down to Mila's blouse button which was not fully buttoned. He looked up briefly to meet Mila's face, then his hands quickly reached for the buttons of the blouse to button. “What are you doing? I can do it myself.” "To shorten the time."
3 months later The people applauded enthusiastically after the red ribbon for the inauguration of the new office was cut by the main star. Camera flash immediately rained down on his body mercilessly until it felt like he would go blind any minute. But Ezra can't complain too much about the enthusiasm people have for the merger between his company and Mila's company which is now growing rapidly. The three months since the shooting incident at Mila's apartment have brought many changes to their lives. Especially now that they have a little man in the middle of their new life. Mila smiled a little at Ezra's figure who was serving the paparazzi who were busy surrounding him. Ezra practically looks like a lump of sugar swarmed by hungry ants. Mila's hands occasionally rocked her stroller when her little one, baby Gerrald, whined a little because of the noise around him. Gerrald was used to the silence in her penthouse. He was rarely exposed to the noise of the paparazzi who would hunt h
Ezra moved warily to protect Mila behind his back. He cursed many times for not incapacitating Jonas first before discussing things with Mila. "But what did you come into my apartment for?" Jonas smiled wryly. He pretended to pat his denim jacket as if it was dusty. Jonas has a bruise on his right jaw from Ezra's precise fist that landed there shortly after he snuck into Mila's apartment. "To get revenge on you." Jonas took a gun out from under his boots and pointed it at Mila and Ezra. “Drop your weapon or you will regret choosing to do that.” “Are you scared, Ezra? You're not the only one with a gun. Even I have it too. You have destroyed my plans. I thought you were already rotting in hell, but you tricked us all.” “Glad that you were stupid enough and duped. You have terrorized Mila and disturbed her life.” "Because of you. I had forgotten about my stupid desire to take revenge on you when you were reportedly drowned in the sea. But who would have thought that you would ri
"Ssshhh... Don't scream, Mila!" "Who are you?" Mila's body froze when an arm stretched forward and hugged her chest until her shoulders pressed against the man's chest. From his voice and body aroma the man was very similar to Ezra. But it is not possible. Ezra is dead. Even the police had given her an official statement that the rescue team had not been able to find Ezra's body that had fallen into the sea. "You can't possibly forget me. You know me so well, Mila.” "Ezra is dead. Don't try to be Ezra in front of me." Mila's voice trembled as she tried to bully the man. In fact, Mila almost fell to the floor if the man's strong arms didn't support her shoulders. "Look at me." Mila's body was rotated one hundred and eighty degrees until now Mila was facing a man whose face was very similar to Ezra's. Her face stiffened as she stared at the man's face. Mila wanted to push the man's chest away, but her body couldn't move because she was too shocked by what was happening before her
"Wait here. I won't be long." Meyer stopped his car in the middle of the forest and let Ezra get out of his car to walk along the path in the middle of a lonely forest. "Good luck. Make Felix pee his pants seeing your ghost.” Meyer laughed loudly before Ezra slammed his car door loudly. Ezra walked to his lonely hunting house in the middle of the forest. He had seen Mila come with Jonas crying hysterically in Felix's arms. Apparently Felix didn't wait until the next morning to tell Mila that he had fallen overboard and might have died. His palms itched to punch Jonas when he saw him put his arm around Mila's shoulders. But luckily Felix chased him away quickly and Mila didn't try to keep Jonas from staying in his house. Ezra decided to make a detour through the back of his cabin. He saw the kitchen light was still on and saw Felix's silhouette standing by the sink. Looks like Felix and Mila are talking about something serious. He then hid behind the firewood storage rack, waiting
The high and ferocious waves rocked his boat so many times that he couldn't even sit still in the boat. His face was wet and his lips were twitching coldly because of the splash of sea water that was almost below freezing. The buoys and layers of clothing that wrapped around his body couldn't block the super cold sea breeze that was blowing very hard around him. Only a madman would go out to sea in the midst of a raging storm like this one. And damn that crazy person is him. Meyer repeatedly looked up at the sky, hoping that a violent storm would not come soon because he was still bobbing in the middle of the sea. It would take him at least another twenty minutes at the earliest to get to the beach and quickly find a warm place to keep him from catching frostbite in the morning. At first Meyer thought his ship was being hit by waves again. He heard the sound of water hitting solid objects, and then the boat shook slightly. He had almost given up on surviving in the middle of the sea
"Thanks Felix. I don't know where else to go but here. My apartment is not a good choice when I have problems with Jonas.” Mila took a sip of her hot chocolate, letting the delicious chocolate liquid flow down her throat and calm her down. She was on the verge of deep frustration. “I told you that his intentions weren't pure.” Felix took a place in front of Mila while looking at her concerned. "I know it. But I don't think he will force me to accept his proposal. He's crazy. He even screamed in the restaurant and made us both a spectacle.” "Relax Milla. You can't be stressed. Remember what Doctor Rosaline said at the last check-up." Mila sighed and nodded. "I remember. My blood pressure is very low and I have to have a transfusion if it stays low.” “Good girl. Better forget about Jonas. You have to distance yourself from him." "I have done. But he often comes to my apartment, helping me organize my future baby's room. How could I possibly ignore his kindness.” "Now he won't c
"Thanks for inviting me to dinner, Jo." "You're welcome. Please sit down Mila.” Mila smiled faintly and pulled the chair in front of her. Jonas looked like he was about to pull out a chair for her, but Mila refused and said that pregnant women are not disabled. "How's the little one?" "Very good. Well it's been seven months, two more months before his birth. Really really fast.” Mila sighed softly. "I'm grateful. I'm glad to see you're fine. The last few months have been tough for you." "Very tough." Mia smiled weakly. It was a miracle that she survived two more months without Ezra by her side. She had shed tons of tears since the past two months. When finally the rescue team failed to find Ezra and the police officially stated that Ezra was lost due to drowning in the sea. Her legs literally went limp when she received the news. She almost fell to the ground if Felix didn't put his arm around her shoulders and support her limp body. Her heart… she didn't know if her heart had
Hunter was ushered out of his cage into the courtroom. After a week in jail, now Hunter looks so messy and ugly. His face was pale and shabby. The dark circles under his eyes were very dark. Hunter let his sideburns grow wildly on his face so that he looked like an old hermit who had just been taken out of a cave. Hunter's hands were handcuffed behind his back. Hunter took a deep breath in the scent of the courtroom and felt a tinge of relief that he could finally smell something other than the rotting smell of rotting prison food. Two policemen gently pushed Hunter's shoulders and pressed him to sit on the prison chair. Not many were present at his trial. Hunter didn't even expect anyone to come. But suddenly his eyeballs met Mila's eyeballs who were looking at him gloomily. Mila's face was somber and it looked like she had been wallowing in sadness for so long that there were no traces of joy on her face. Hunter's breath caught when he learned that Mila was present at the trial thi
