Chapter 20 As the sky darkened , Eleanor led Hunter back to the lake where she had saved him , retracing the path of their lives together , and finally arrived back home . After he put down his luggage , Eleanor started to cook . Hunter surveyed the layout of the room , everything was the same as before , but now his mood had changed . Seeing this familiar scene , he felt no nostalgia , only endless hatred . He left Lena for this woman who smelled of fish all over . For some reason , when he smelled the familiar scent again , he felt nauseous . " Hunter , what were you looking at ? " Eleanor , who was washing vegetables , noticed that Hunter was not in the living room and came over to find him , only to see him lost in thought . Seeing him standing in his own bedroom , Eleanor felt a little shy for a moment , not even noticing his gloomy expression . " We used to live in this room back then , do you remember ? " Looking at Hunter's handsome face , Eleanor was very moved . She took Hunter's hand and gently rubbed his five fingers . " You have been living in the villa for so long , I wonder if you will be used to sleeping here again when you come back . " As soon as the words fell , Hunter , as if going crazy , fiercely kissed her . 0100 01 : 170 Chapter 20 " Hunter , what are you doing … you haven't eaten yet … " Eleanor's words were swallowed up in the kiss , she choked and couldn't speak , feeling that Hunter was acting strangely . " What are you having for dinner ? We haven't seen each other for a long time , don't you want to catch up with me ? " Hunter frowned and viciously bit her lip . He spoke bluntly , causing Eleanor to blush for a moment . Seeing this , Eleanor no longer hesitated , she took off her own coat and placed Hunter's hand on herself . " I missed you so much during the time you ignored me , Hunter … " " Now that Lena , that bitch , is finally out of the picture , you can belong to me forever … " Caught in the confusion of emotions , she accidentally let slip the truth . Hunter's eyes widened as he stared darkly at Eleanor , who was still blissfully unaware . He suddenly grabbed her neck and threw her onto the bed ? Sudden pain made Eleanor feel a little scared at first , but then she thought it was just Hunter's idea of fun and forced herself to calm down . Her cheeks were flushed with desire , her hands clinging to his strong arms , pulling him towards her , kissing him passionately . The next second , Hunter picked up a pillow beside him and forcefully covered his face . " Hunter ! Hunter ! I could barely catch my breath ! " She was pressed down so hard that she couldn't breathe , struggling with X25 92 01170 all her might , but Hunter pressed down even harder . Eleanor suddenly realized that Hunter was trying to suffocate her ! " Ah !! Hunter ! Spare me … please , spare me … .. Hunter finally let go of his hand when he heard her cries for help gradually weaken and eventually disappear . The face no longer had desire , replaced by a flushed complexion . Hunter patted her face , confirming that she had completely passed out , and got up from the bed . When Eleanor opened her eyes again , she was weak and found herself dressed in rags , tied up with ropes all over her body , folded into the suitcase brought by Hunter . " Awake ? Hunter sat on the bed , looking at her , and chuckled coldly . " He no longer had the deep and gentle look he had when we first met , instead , he had a numb expression . Eleanor's mouth was taped shut , unable to speak , only able to struggle and emit silent screams . Hunter lit a cigarette , walked up to Eleanor , and pressed the cigarette butt onto her smooth arm , leaving behind a series of red marks . " Ugh !! Ugh ugh !! " She curled up , unable to move , only able to muffle weak screams with her hand over her mouth . " Eleanor , didn't you say you liked me ? " His eyes were dull , and his cheeks twitched slightly . " Today when you returned to the fishing village , you seemed very happy , 01 17 " How about I let you stay in this fishing village where you saved me for the rest of your life ? " He approached Eleanor while speaking , she met his terrifying gaze and couldn't help but shiver uncontrollably . Then he zipped up the suitcase and wrapped it with tape . Eleanor kept struggling and hitting the box with her body , but to no avail . As night fell , Hunter brought the box to the lakeside where they had met , gazing into the distance . The various past events all pierced through my heart . If I hadn't met Eleanor in this fishing village back then , but had returned to Lena instead , would the outcome have been different . " Eleanor , all of this was your retribution . " He pushed the suitcase into the lake and then turned around and left the village .
