Chapter 71: He Wasn't Any Better

"Hera is my life, Bianca. I would never want a life without her being in it. I would die if anything bad happened to her," Hunter admitted without missing a beat. Bianca blinked rapidly, letting go of the tears clouding her view. He wiped her tears again. "I'm in love with her, and you all know it, yet, it didn't stop you from hurting her. And this time, you've crossed your limits and please don't deny it," said Hunter. Though there was a soft edge to his tone, his eyes held a definite warning. She nodded and lowered her eyes as more tears started flooding out. 

"Why do you hate her so much, Bianca? What did Hera ever do to you? Please know that you're equally important to me. You don't have to feel insecure or jealous of her," Hunter assured her. He let go of her hands and took a seat beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder as she burst out crying hysterically. He pulled her close, hugging her sideways.
