" You don't like Daisy's cooking ? Then tell me what you want - I'll make it myself . " Dana shook her head again. " It's not that . I just don't have an appetite . " Jamie hesitated . " Because of Hunter ? Do you want to see him ? If you do , I'll call and tell them not to send him away . It's your call , and I'll respect it . " " No , " Dana said firmly . " I don't want to see him . " Just as she finished speaking , Jamie's phone rang again . It was the bodyguard - same number , more urgency this time . " Mr. Brewer , " the man said , his voice strained . " No matter how I try , I can't get him to leave . He's taken a few swings at me and still won't back down . He insists on seeing Ms. Archer . " Jamie cursed under his breath . " What's with Hunter and this clingy routine ? When did he turn into chewing gum ? " Before Jamie could hang up , the sound of a scuffle filtered through the phone , followed by the bodyguard's voice . " Sir , Mr. Brewer says he doesn't know you and doesn't want to see you . Please leave the premises immediately ! " Dana could hear the dull thuds of fists hitting flesh . Then Hunter's voice rang out , furious and loud . " Jamie ! Let me in ! I'm here for Dana ! " What's the matter , Jamie ? Is Jamie too cowardly to allow me in ? Worried the second she sees me , she'll leave with me ? Is that why you're pulling this petty move ? " Jamie clenched his jaw . He knew Hunter was trying to provoke him - but he didn't know how to respond . Dana , watching him struggle , asked calmly , " We're overseas , right ? " Jamie nodded .

Pull your gun and tell him to leave - now . If he keeps pushing , fire a warning shot . If that doesn't stop him , shoot him . " The bodyguard followed the command . Drawing his gun , he aimed it directly at Hunter and shouted , " Mr. Brewer says he doesn't want to see you ! If you know what's good for you , leave now - or I will shoot ! " At that moment , Hunter spotted Dana standing at the window . His eyes turned red with emotion . " I'm not here for Jamie , " he shouted . " I came all this way . I'm not leaving without seeing Dana ! " He ignored the warning , shoving past the bodyguard and charging toward the villa . A gunshot cracked through the air .
