Chapter 41 Between A Rock And A Hard Place

• Catharine's P.O.V
• I was completely taken aback by Hunter's sudden statement. My mind was spinning, trying to process what had just happened, what it could possibly mean. But before I could even begin to untangle my thoughts, Hunter broke eye contact with me and turned away. He moved smoothly into the crowd, immediately engaging in conversation with a group of men in expensive suits, discussing something business related like nothing earth-shattering had just occurred.
• Just like that, the moment was over. Hunter had dropped a bomb into the middle of the party and then walked away, leaving me to deal with the fallout alone.
