Mia didn’t want to discuss Zac with Hunter. There was no point. He would never understand, anyway.
“What’s the point, Hunter? First, you accused me of trying to record you and Jenna just to push for a divorce, and now you’re claiming I’m rushing to find someone new. Don’t you have anything better to do?” She bit back the urge to call him simple-minded, aware it wouldn’t be wise to push him too far.
“Mia, let me make one thing clear,” Hunter sneered, lifting her chin so she couldn’t look away.
“As long as I don’t agree, a divorce isn’t happening. You want to take me to court? Fine. I’ve got the entire Genesis legal team backing me. You, on your own, don’t stand a chance. And in the end, it’ll be you who suffers.” His eyes glinted with a mixture of amusement and menace. He was going to show her that she could never win against him!
Mia’s chest tightened as she looked at him, the familiar ache of sadness creeping back in. “Hunter, you and Jenna already have a child on the way. Why keep holding onto me? What do you want from me? Just how far do you plan to push me?”
Even though she was on the verge of breaking, she stayed composed, refusing to lash out. Mia knew deep down that Hunter didn’t love her, and what good would it do to go crazy over it?
To him, it would only be a joke. It saddened her to think about it. She had loved him for nine years. How had it come to this?
Hunter’s eyes turned cold. “You want to know why? You trapped me into marriage three years ago, forcing my hand. So, get used to the idea of a lifetime of payback. Thinking you can walk away after three years? That’d be letting you off too easily.”
When Hunter got angry, his words could be brutal. The incident from three years ago, when Mia had trapped him into marriage, was a wound he couldn’t let heal.
Hearing him say he planned to make her suffer for a lifetime stung, but Mia didn’t want to go over the events of three years ago yet again. She had explained herself countless times, and he had never believed her. Let him think what he wanted. It didn’t matter anymore.
