Chapter 32

"Mommy look". Jason said running up to the bed.
He stopped in front of it and showed me his drawing. "This is you. This is daddy. This is me". He explained making me smile.

I chuckled softly. "I have red hair? Very original".

Just then the door opened and Hunter walked taking his jacket and tie off.

"Daddy". Jason smiled jumping down and running to him.
Hunter picked him and kissed his cheek.

"How is my little man doing?". He smiled.

"Good". Jason answered before Hunter put him back down. "Look Daddy. I made a drawing".

Hunter looked at it for a moment and chuckled. "I am blue?"

Jason looked hesitant for a moment. "Okay. I will put you in pink". He said excitedly as Hunter shook his head.

I chuckled turning the tv on for Jason.
Hunter looked at me smiling.
"How are you feeling?"

"Good". I smiled a little.

"Liar". He said quietly walking closer to me.
He sat next to me wrapping an arm around my shoulders.
I lead my head on his chest wrapping an arm around his stomach.
We stayed like that for a moment none of us saying anything.

"Clara is also an investigator". He said and I tensed a little.
"She was in charge of your mother's doing". He explained.
"She's the best at her job since she kind of looks stupid and is annoying and clingy". He continued. "I asked her to work for me. That's why I gave her an appointment at the office". He said.
"I don't want you to regret giving me another chance".

I sighed. "I don't regret it. I was just angry that you are keeping things from me". I said.
"I want you to be Hunter and tell me everything you have to tell me".

"Okay". He sighed. "I know what your mother has been doing". He said and I stayed quiet.
"She has been working with Kevin". He said making my heart drop.

"What? How? Why?". I asked shaking my head, completely lost. "H... How is it possible?". I stuttered a little.
"You must be mistaking. Clara is certainly wrong". I said quickly. "Why w... would my mo-".

"Well she did. I have documents that prove all this. She has been behind all this, and is using the money your father left you for it".

"My dad left me money?". I whispered confused.

"Yes". He said and I clenched my jaw as tears started coming out of my eyes.

I could feel my heart breaking. My mother.
How could she do this?
She is my mother for God's sake.

"Where is she?". I sniffed.

"Probably where Kevin is". He said wrapping his arms tighter around me. "We will find them. I promised".

"Kevin escaped?". I froze. "Then why are you here?". I said with wide eyes wiping my tears.

"I don't give a shit about him right now. Dad is taking care of it. You are my priority". He said kissing my cheek.

"Hunt-".

"Stop worrying, okay? I will take care of everything". He paused. "And you're coming at my house after the hospital".

I furrowed my eyebrows. "What?".

"You heard me. You guys are coming at my house".

"I can't Hunter. I-". He cut me off again.

"You can and you will".

I sighed defeated. "What is going to happen to my mother after you find her?". I asked quietly.

No matter what, I have the right to ask. She's my mother. I will always love her.
Nothing can completely ruin the relationship between a mother and her child.
Deborah let Ryan take care of Kevin's case, but I know that she's deeply hurt and doesn't want that.
Why my mother did all this is a mystery to me. I'm sure I've never done anything to make her hate me. I've always been with her. I've never even thought of hating her.

"Stella, you need to understand that your mother did very illegal things that could cost her years in jail". He said seriously.

I quickly sat up looking at him. My heart pounding again my chest.

"You can't seriously be thinking about putting my mother in jail".

"I'm not thinking about it. I'm going to put her in jail". He said sternly.

"Please don't". I said wipping my tears. "I don't want to see my mother in jail". I said looking at him pleadingly and taking his hand.
"Please". I almost begged looking at him with teary eyes.

He clenched his jaw before opening his mouth. He paused and looked at Jason who was still drawing on the floor.
He stood up and walked to the door before calling one the men.

"Jason?". He called. "It's already late. Do you want to go spend some time with grandma. She has been really sad. Maybe you can cheer her up".

"Yes!". He beamed standing up and running to me. "Goodbye mommy". He said hugging me. "I will come back tomorrow, okay?". He said and I nodded smiling.
He jumped down and ran to the door. The man took his hand and walked away.

Hunter closed the door and turned to look at me.

"You do realise that she was involved in this accident, or somehow knew about it". He said in a low voice.

"She is still my mother, Hunter". I cried. "Please, don't put her in jail". I said. "You can't do this".

He shook his head. "I can and I will". He said walking Closer to me.
"I love you, but she has to pay for everything. If she's not arrested, Kevin won't be either".

"I know. I know but-".

"She illegally unlocked all your father's account. And we still don't know what happened to your stepfather". He continued. "He knew what your mother was doing and went missing right after".

I looked up at him. "What are you saying? That my mother killed him? She is not a murderer".

"I never said she killed anyone". He said shrugging.
"What about our baby? Who are responsible for the accident". He said clenching his jaw.
I stayed silent before burrying my face in my hands.
"Do you realize that she is involved in all Kevin's action. And your father's money. All his work was put into this".

"I'm not trying to hurt you". He said softly. "I just want you to open your eyes. You know how I am. I am not gonna try to make things look pretty. I'm just telling you the truth. The way it is". He said, his voice getting closer.

I still didn't say anything. I felt him sit beside me grabbing my hands to pull them away from my face.

"I'm sorry". He said pulling me into a hug as I cried quietly.
"I love you more than anything. But I'm not going to change my decision".

*** Third POV ***

"Fuck! FUCK! FUCK!". He yelled punching the wall. "How did he?". He said angrily pacing.
"We have to leave. And fast". He said opening his computer.
"We need to leave".

"How is she?". Donna asked suddenly.

"What?".

"Ho... How is she?". She repeated. "How is Stella?".

"And why the f*ck do you care?". Kevin growled glaring at her. "She lost the f*cking b*stard she was carrying". He snapped.

"But she is fine, right?". She asked again with sweaty palms.

"Yes, she is. Why do you care? And don't you dare start playing the caring mother. Because that card doesn't work anymore". He said angrily.
"Now I need to find a way to us out of here before they find us".

Donna absently walked out of the room. She closed the door and leaned against it.
She put a shaking hand on her chest closing her eyes tightly, letting a tear fall out.
She quickly wiped it and start walking down the hallway.

"I'm sorry". She whispered.
