“Fine, since that’s the case, I won’t beat around the bush. My condition is simple…” Hawk looked directly at Suzy, pausing with intent. “Be my girlfriend.”
“Say that again?” Suzy was convinced she must have misheard.
She’d expected him to demand her life, not… this.
“As soon as you agree to be my girlfriend, I’ll lift the hypnosis on Diana,” Hawk stated, matter–of–fact. “And I’ll guarantee I won’t lay a finger on her again.”
“You…”
Suzy began, but Hawk cut her off. “No need to answer right away. I’ll give you three days to think it over.”
He didn’t seem to be joking. Yet the two of them barely knew each other how could he propose something so absurd?
It was indeed absurd.

meeting and present her with that ridiculous condition?
The more Suzy thought about it, the more her mind spun.
Feeling frustrated, she pulled the blanket over herself, intending to sleep, when her phone
rang.
It was Dylan.
Fearing something had happened to Diana, she quickly picked up.
And she was right–Diana was in trouble.
Without a second thought, Suzy jumped out of bed and rushed to the hospital.
On the way, she called Hawk twice, but he didn’t answer. Her anxiety tightened.
She arrived at the hospital as quickly as possible and ran straight to Dylan. “What’s the situation?”
