All Chapters of Married To A Hunter: Fascinating & Terrifying: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

"Can ... can't you check somehow?" I finally turned back to him. “You have the most incredible technology here. Surely it must be possible to verify that I am Reos McDermont's daughter! "The chief thought for a moment, then nodded. “There is definitely a possibility. But this takes time. It will be weeks before we have the result. "

I spent the next few hours looking out the window and watching the sun make a slow circle over headquarters and then sink behind the walls.Only when it was dark outside did One show up at my place. Without knocking, he went into the living area and threw me a little booklet. I recognized my notes that I had written over the past week.

"What are you doing, Riley?" She asked gently."Did Arron tell you?" I was surprised that anyone but the chief and a few other hunters knew what had happened."Mmh." I felt her nod. 

But after Sava left me a short time later, I was again alone with my circling head, the thoughts of which repeatedly pushed into the foreground. They drove me crazy, and I was mad at Arron's fiancée for having to mention what she said earlier. Now, in spite of all my resistance, I asked myself how she discovered whether she saw something I couldn't see. It was really silly to even think about it. And yet there was a little voice that whispered incessantly to itself ...&n

I sat at the window and looked out in the direction in which I assumed the arrival hall was. The Hunter had probably already returned. My chest got really tight when I imagined Anessa welcoming One. I forced myself to paint these pictures down to the last detail: How the two were discreetly happy to see each other in public and how they fell upon each other behind closed doors like wild animals. I did it to stamp out the thoughts that Sava had planted in my head with her hints. I hadn't had a quiet minute since she left last night. I finally had to destroy all naive hopes!

“That means a third party must have learned something about our departure there and used it for their own plans. Now, of course, I wonder how that person could have found out about it, ”One added. "Not from me," I said immediately, looking at him. "Sir, I have nothing to do with it!"

As soon as I came out, we left the apartment and I felt a little bit of joy because I finally got outside. One stood as far away from me as possible in the elevator and I wondered again what I had done to him that he was so obviously rejecting me. I would have loved to seek direct confrontation and speak to him about it, but I didn't want to complicate the whole thing. Somehow I would survive his hurtful manner by the time he sent me away. And once I survived prison, I would start over. Somewhere. Somehow …

The darkness that had fallen over me did not pass. I felt that I was awake, but I couldn't open my eyes no matter how hard I tried. Then I heard muffled voices not far from me."What do you want to do with her now?""I have no idea."

The next time I woke up, One was standing next to my bed. I immediately thought of the conversation between him and Arron that I had overheard and wondered if it really had happened that way or if it had just been a dream while in the coma."Are you going to ask me again if I wanted to kill myself?" I directed my rasping words to the chief and cleared my throat.

Over the next few days, the drugs that were flowing through my blood were gradually stopped. I felt much more awake, but now I also felt the pain that had previously been numbed. My head and back in particular had been damaged by the fall and were causing me great difficulties.When the doctor finally removed the bandage that was around my head, I let out a painful groan.
