Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson)

He felt that the force that was weighing her down was suddenly removed.

Emily opened her eyes and turned around. Her gaze fell upon Hunter who was standing by the bed. He was staring at her coldly. His eyes were tinged with extreme coldness and anger as well as some... disgust.

He hated her! He was looking at her as if he was looking at a hideous object.

Emily felt her heart tightened rapidly but she still managed to wrap herself in a blanket before backing off to a corner of the bed.

Hunter's gaze was as cold as ever, and that iciness was intensifying by the seconds.

Emily wasn't putting an act at all. Her tears were genuine. She was no longer that girl who would grab every opportunity to stick herself to him and look at him with bright watery eyes.

There was only endless caution written deep within her eyes at this moment!

For the past few days, she had been playing games and putting on a fagade. She was never true to herself when she was with him.

But yesterday when she was with Terry, she could finally be herself again. Her actions and responses were all real and unrestrained!

As Hunter made his advances towards her, Emily shrunk back further into the corners of the bed. He stopped his 

advancement while looming over her. He looked mighty and arrogant!

“Do you really think that I'm going to do something to your body?” He seemed to force these words out of his mouth, which sounded aloof and heart-wrenching.

Emily just stared at him in response while biting her lips silently.

“I just want to remind you that as long as the deal stands, you will always belong to me. I can lead you to greater heights as 

well as plunge you into the depths of hell!” He was getting increasingly frustrated especially when his gaze fell upon her eyes which were moist with tears.

He wasn't even sure what he was trying to say at the moment. He only knew that he had a pent-up urge to kill someone right now!

“You should be obedient since you're together with me now. Or else, I will make life miserable for not only you, but also for those people you care about!” After finishing his sentence, he turned around to leave as he couldn't bear looking at her teary eyes anymore.
