"Mr. Adam, you are in direct violation of the court order to never approach Ms. Hermione," Officer Miller says as he clicks the handcuffs around Adam's wrists. But Adam isn't looking at Miller. He isn't fighting back. His eyes are stuck on me, wide with unsaid words. Like he's trying to tell me a thousand things without saying a thing. Hunter's hand is soft on my waist, guiding me towards the door. "Come on, let's get you out of here," he says quietly. I let him guide me, but my head stays turned, my eyes locked with Adam's until the very last second before we step outside. I need to know. Was it all fake? The s*x, the way he'd kiss my forehead in the morning, all those quiet moments that made me feel so safe... did any of it mean anything? Or was it all just a part of his… revenge
