An Unbreakable Addiction

Chapter 0032

"He only carried me becau

my clothes were torn, and I was too terrified to walk. He just helped me to the car, and then I went home with Summer," Mia explained, her voice steady. Whether Hunter believed her or not, she knew she was telling the truth.

Hunter's eyes grew colder as he listened. "There wasn't any news about anything happening on the highway last night," he said, implying that he didn't believe a word she said,

A wave of sadness washed over Mia, Hunter and Jenna could parade around together, making headlines every day, even planning to have a child, and yet he never offered Mia a single explanation,

But now, when she laid herself bare, exposing her deepest wounds, all he did was doubt her.

Was it because he never truly loved her?

"Why are you silent now? Having trouble keeping your story straight?" Hunter's voice dripped with skepticism, fully convinced that there was something going on between Mia and Zac. Until he saw hard proof, nothing she said would sway him,

Taking a deep breath, Mia's gaze, now void of emotion, locked on his. Then she smiled, though it didn't reach her eyes. "Fine, have your assistant pull up the surveillance footage from the highway last night, and check my hospital records. See for yourself if I'm lying." Each word she spoke chipped away at her heart. She had loved Hunter for so many years, but now, staring at him, she felt nothing.

Mia sighed inwardly, realizing that she had spent years being Hunter's doormat, suffering in silence, clinging to the hope that things would change.

But it was time to walk away. She had endured enough.

Seeing the emptiness in her eyes sent a ripple of unease through Hunter. If what she said was true, then he'd been the one who pushed her into harm's way. How could he forgive himself for that?

"Hunter, let's get a divorce," she said softly, closing her eyes as the pain in her chest intensified, her voice trembling. She was done with a marriage that had no love, no warmth. She was ready to end the suffering.

"When Grandpa made me promise we'd be together for life, you didn't object. And now you want a divorce? Do you really think that's possible?" Hunter's voice was filled with irritation, though even he wasn't sure why Mia's request for a divorce rattled him so much. In a city where so many women would line up to marry him, what right did Mia have to turn him down?

Mia understood exactly what he meant. Because of the vow he had made to his grandfather, divorce was off the table.

But what about her?

If they didn't divorce, she would be trapped in the same painful cycle she had endured for so long.

What was she supposed to do? She couldn't live like this anymore.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

She let out a bitter laugh. "If we don't divorce, what about Jenna? She's pregnant. Isn't it pitiful for her to have a baby with no father around?" Chapter 0032

If Hunter had shown her even an ounce of care, she might have told him she was pregnant co would never know about their child,

Hunter let out a cold laugh. "When Jenna's child is bom, he'll be the eldest grandson of the wayer only

worrying for her? Even without a father, he'll still inherit everything. So why are

He had never once considered having a child with Mia in his mind, Jenna's baby would naturally bene the future heir of the Jasper family.

But those words hit Mia differently. To her, they sounded like he never wanted her to have children at al The realization only strengthened her resolve to keep her pregnancy a secret.

"I understand now, Hunter," she said, "You'd better remember what you just said for the rest of your life"

Silently, she added to herself, "And don't you ever come trying to take this child from me in the futurer
