Sinfully in love

He had secrets

Prisoner:~ Raphael Lake/ Eyes Off You:~ PRETTYMUCH

POV: Donato

I watched her as she opened the envelope and took out the letter. She unfolded that piece of paper and started reading it. I went closer to Hunter and hugged him. "Those nightmares again?" I whispered in his ear.

He rested his neck on my shoulder and I felt him sigh. "Yes...same ones..."
"I'll call Dr. Singh tomorrow," I said to him. Dr. Singh was his psychiatrist. Hunter has had terrible nightmares, scenes of extreme torture, and agony since he was 10.

He saw Ezio kill someone by crushing their head with a stone once when we were in Italy for the summer. I mean no child should see that. Since then, those scenes of violence haunted him. Sometimes he would wake up screaming or would wet the bed with his sweat.

He would be paranoid about it, couldn't focus. It all stopped when Both of us made our bones. Making bones means killing for the first time. It was all gone and now he is being haunted again.

"No...no. Don't call her...I didn't tell Jewel.." He said as I pulled away.
"Then tell her everything when you can. I'm calling her and that's final." He eye-rolled and I looked at Hayley.

She now looked nervous, uneasy, and anxious. I went closer to her and took the letter from her hand. When I looked at it, I realized that I didn't understand shit. It was all in Spanish, fuck. "Who was it, Hayley?" Hunter asked her.

She didn't give him an answer and rubbed her eyes. "Who the fuck was it?! I know enough Spanish by now to know that it was someone with the name Perez!" I looked at Hunter as he started shouting.

Perez...?

"Hunter, calm down," Jewel said and walked towards him.
"I ain't fucking calming down!! That Perez bastards kidnapped you! Tried to hurt all of us! And possibly was behind Ezio's death I don't know!!" He shouted again. Jewel moved back a little and looked at him with a worried face.

"Hunter, keep calm," I said, stopping him as he moved towards Hayley.
"It's Marcus Perez...Xavier's father..." Hayley said, taking the letter from my hands.
"So you are in contact with him!! Because how else did he get this letter in our boundaries?!" Hunter shouted again.

He is panicking and lashing out. Can Hunter be right tho? Wait, what the fuck, I shouldn't be thinking this. "Why did you keep in touch with him?!!" Hunter shouted again. He is not in the right mind state right now.

"I did not!! Fuck off! I would rather die than see the person who pretended to love and raped me!! And framed me for murder!" Hayley shouted at him and stormed upstairs. I sighed and looked at Jewel.

"Jewel, just take him and make him sleep," I said to her. She gave me a worried look then took Hunter upstairs. I went to her room and knocked on the door. I guess she has a habit of not locking the door.

It was unlocked and I slid it wide open. She was standing in front of the mirror, opening her hair. I went closer to her and she turned to look at me. "Are you here to question me now?" She said.

"No," I said to her and she turned around, walking off to the bathroom. I went after her and stopped her before she locked the door. I grabbed her hand and pulled her out before pinning her to the wall.

"Hunter is just a little unstable," I said and examined her face. She looked up at me and sighed.
"I just-Why would I stay in connection when I know I will die?" She said and eye-rolled.
"I know...I trust you..." I said to her.
"You do?" She said with surprise in her tone.
"Hmm..." I leaned in and left a soft kiss on her ear. "Don't take Hunter's words to heart. Just tell me what the letter-"
