Aleah's heart skipped a beat when she spotted Hunter outside the gate. She had been up all night in the garden, trying to uncover more about Kimberly Stuart, but all she found were achievements and accolades—not the answers she was looking for. She was tired, but seeing Hunter brought a mix of surprise and warmth she couldn’t quite explain.She stood up quickly and walked to the gate, opening it for him. "Zen? You're here so early. Come in," she said, trying to keep her voice steady. "Are you okay? You look—" Her words faltered as Hunter suddenly pulled her into his arms."Wait, Zen," Aleah whispered, her cheeks turning red. She glanced nervously at their surroundings."Just for five minutes," Hunter murmured against her ear, holding her close. "Let's just stay like this."Aleah hesitated, feeling the weight of his words. "Is something wrong? Did something happen?" she asked gently, her hands resting lightly on his back.Hunter closed his e

Aleah headed to her house in the Compound after Rafael called her up. He told her that Hunter's wallet, phone, and gun had somehow shown up at their place. They were waiting for Hunter to come by, but as the evening dragged on, he still hadn’t shown up. Nobody had a clue how to reach him, and Kimberly wasn’t around either.“Do you have any idea where he might’ve gone?” Aleah asked Rafael once he arrived. The whole squad from Hunter's task force was there, too. Even Claire had come over to check on Kimberly, but the girl wasn’t home.“No clue,” Carlos chimed in. “But yesterday morning, Hunter got a package. Then he told me he had to go somewhere, but didn’t say where.”“You saw him yesterday?” Rafael asked.“Yeah, he dropped by Director Kim's place to see me. But we didn’t talk for long—he said he’d be back here later,” Aleah replied. She furrowed her brows

"Zen!" Aleah called out, her face lighting up as she spotted him outside. She’d been standing on the terrace, taking in the night sky sprinkled with stars and a bright full moon. There he was, standing in the garden, looking right at her. She didn’t know when he’d returned, but seeing him made her heart race with excitement. Without thinking twice, she dashed downstairs to greet him.As soon as she reached the garden, she ran straight into his arms and hugged him tightly."Zen, what happened to you? Where’ve you been all this time?" she asked, her voice a mix of relief and curiosity. But Zen didn’t say a word; he just stared at her in silence."Why aren’t you talking? Did something happen to you?" Aleah continued, growing more anxious. Instead of answering, Zen gently pushed her away, leaving her confused."Let’s end this," he said flatly."Wait, what?" Aleah asked, completely caught off guard."This whole act,

Aleah didn’t believe Hunter would change so suddenly. Sure, he’d always been a bit of a grouch—even during their first meeting—but he wasn’t the type to just ditch his friends. Something must’ve happened to him when he disappeared. Deciding she couldn’t just sit around and mope, she resolved to find him. She asked Dennis for help, and together, they started their search.While looking for Hunter, they spotted Dr. Stuart at a shopping mall. Aleah figured it might be a good idea to follow him since Hunter had previously handled his case. She knew Hunter wasn’t the kind of person to walk away from something he was working on until it was solved.“Are we really doing this?” Dennis asked, munching on fries as they sat in a fast-food joint inside the mall. Across from them was a boutique where Kimberly had just walked in.“What’s the deal between you and Hunter anyway? Is he cheating on you or something

"You saw what happened, right? What else does Zen need to do to prove he’s on our side?" Kimberly said as Hunter returned home after the operation. Giovanni glanced at Hunter, still unsure about his loyalty. But even he couldn’t deny the fact that Hunter had played a huge role in keeping the police and soldiers from discovering their plans. The guy had come up with the entire strategy and even set the trap that worked perfectly. "Okay, fine. You did well," Giovanni finally said. "Because of you, we managed to save a ton of money." "Exactly. So, can we drop the doubts now? I know what I’m doing," Hunter replied, leaning back confidently. "What else do I need to do to prove that I’m with you?" "You saw him shoot his former teammate, didn’t you?" Kimberly jumped in. "That should be more than enough proof that he’s with us now." "Alright, alright. But I’ve got one more task for you," Giovanni said, crossing his arms. "Do this right, and I’ll trust you—no questions as
