Anna’s POV

“We were supposed to be a family. Live together, face problems together. I didn’t go with them and I couldn’t see my younger sister again. Her body was burnt and I could not even recognize her if not for her body shape. Yes, it was as bad as that!” Smith exclaimed.

“You said ‘live together, face problems together’. I am glad you didn’t say die together. You did nothing wrong. If you feel you did not convince them well enough, it is all shades of wrong. If you also feel that you should have died with them, it is ridiculous as well. First, your lineage would be ruined. Secondly, your family’s fortune would probably play into the hands of a man that knows nothing about how much your father laboured. Thirdly, I would never meet you if you had died. Think about all these and have a change of heart!” I told him firmly.

“I used to blame myself…” Smith replied. “I got over it when I met with a therapist. It took three months to work on me and eventually, I came out of depression. L

    Anna’s POV“Another unlock code!” I exclaimed. “You already used a code before. Why would you need to do it again?”“The code is 3-5-3-5-1-2!” Smith exclaimed. “Please help me press it on the screen and make the Safe open!”This was normal so I did his bidding. I tapped on the figures with the code he gave me but it didn’t budge. I had only three more trials. I thought I got something wrong and I tried it again but I failed one more time. Now, I knew the problem was not with the code.“I understand now!” I exclaimed. “The Safe checks for your fingerprint while you tap on the screen.”Smith smiled. I held his hand and tapped the figures but it did not work again. There was only one chance remaining, else the Safe would get locked on its own.“I thought you got the trick already. It seems you are still lacking in that area. The code is right but there is an input method that differs. It is not with the prints,” Smith said shortly.“Perhaps, your toes!” I exclaimed.“Wrong!” Smith shoute

    Emily’s POVDan told me to meet him at the Tulips hotel. I made sure I did an investigation on that hotel before I went there. It was pretty easy to find out that the hotel was owned by Dan. It had only been opened two weeks ago and this was within the time I spoke with him last.I reached the receptionist’s desk and did as I had been instructed.”Room 114. That man is waiting for me…” I told the receptionist clearly. Dan had told me to use this code and the receptionist would understand immediately. She nodded and gave me a key. With this, I moved forward. Using the elevator, I arrived at Room 114. I opened the door with the key but I met an empty space in the room.“Dan!” I exclaimed. “Are you in here?”“The toilet!” I heard him shout back out of nowhere. “Give me five minutes and I will be through. Wait for me and make yourself comfortable.”And that was how I sat down there. To ease myself, I started to play games for the meantime. I had my ear-pods on so I could not hear what was

    Dan’s POVI could see Emily look at me carefully. She shook her head several times and this got me confused. I wondered what she would say now.“You have finally chosen to be useless…” she told me calmly. “I thought you would have changed since I talked to you the last time. If I knew you were still like this, I would have never came here.”“Shh!” I shunned her angrily. “I have things to do, Emily, and you need to respect me as well. The fact that I am breaking such a personal record has nothing to do with you and your filthy inner self. It is my private life and you have no right to infringe into my privacy. If you try this next time, I will be angered and you know what that means, don’t you?”“Then you should not say it in front of me!” Emily shouted at me. “You brought a slut into a place where both of us were supposed to meet and you feel it makes sense. She must either be a full-time prostitute or a porn star!”“Ex-porn star…” Liza interrupted. She was the girl I brought into the

    Emily’s POV“I won’t have the conversation here no matter what!” I shouted angrily. I was prepared to move off but Dan stopped me by holding my hand.“Calm down…” he told me softly. “We can have the conversation downstairs in the bar over a cold drink. If you like, we could get a private room for ourselves. Being outdoors in the garden is also a nice option. Just don’t leave. I had you come here because this is very important.”I decided to listen to me. It was easier since he had given me options. A bar would not be too good since the barman would be around. Others might want to use it as well and this would make things go the way we didn’t want.Also, getting a room alone with Dan was very dangerous especially since he wanted to break one stupid record of his. I didn’t want to be a testing instrument. The best place was the garden which could be suited to have only two of us. We could have drinks and the breeze would be refreshing. The only issue was that it was a sunny afternoon. W

    Anna’s POV“Hey, Smith. I will be leaving first, okay?” I called him from inside.“You should wait for me, darling!” Smith exclaimed back. I had to wait for him even though we would not be leaving together.I waited around the dining room for him where he was supposed to meet me. Smith came outside hurriedly. I sighted his shirt and helped him to use the buttons appropriately. He was fully dressed and I teased his beards for a moment.“I have everything prepared already…” Smith told me shortly. “I have procured a post for one of your bodyguards in the office. He would work as an intern and he would assist everyone in the office. What do you intend to do with him?”I smiled.“The whole scope does not look like a ‘bodyguard thing’ right? It is more like they have been bought as mercenaries!” I told Smith sharply.“Exactly!” Smith replied. “Bodyguards are meant to protect your body from danger even if it means using theirs as a shield. Right now, they are spies who would serve as your in

    Anna’s POV:“Both of you met yesterday!” Charlotte exclaimed. I thought Smith would lie but he didn’t. Now, Charlotte would suspect us and make it easier to find out our relationship.“I got a call that she had been admitted in the hospital. She seemed to have collapsed on the way due to stress and exhaustion. They had to reach her family and when they learned that she was coming to work, they called me since she saved my contact as ‘boss’…” Smith said calmly. I was so shocked with the way he dropped that lie. I now had to follow up.“Really? You should have told us. We were also worried when you didn’t come back until the day ended, boss,” Charlotte said. She seemed to care about me with the way she slurred her words.“I know, right?” I stepped in to the issue. “Boss is a caring man and he actually waited for me to regain consciousness. I have no one, you know. No friends and my family are not nearby. He even got his driver to take me home!”Charlotte smiled happily. I watched as she

    Anna’s POV“He caught her?!” I asked in a loud voice. My heart was racing at this point. The realization of this made me feel bad. I didn’t care that it was before he met me.“He did!” Charlotte replied. “It was after a meeting and I don’t know why boss had been observing her. He was staring at her back though I do not know what he was looking at exactly. It could be her back, her hair, her legs, or her butt!”I felt angered.“He couldn’t have been staring at her flat ass!” I exclaimed in anger.“He could have…” Charlotte replied. “Men are men and they would always be men. When that gender is hard, they don’t care. Beautiful or ugly. Slim, fat or chubby. Tall, short, or a dwarf. Curvy or straight. As long as you are a female, they are good to go!”“I don’t believe that. They should have preferences…” I said shortly.“Elena has always been attractive!” Charlotte told me confidently. “She don’t have a flat ass. There is still some flesh there. It is not bony and you know it.”“When I sa

    Anna's POV “Oh, I understand…” Charlotte rushed and held my hand. “You can leave at any time, okay? Let's just go clubbing! The thing is that it starts officially by eight. That's when the real party begins!” “I will think about it but I'm gonna leave for now. The meeting will start soon so you should go to put things in place as well…” I told her carefully. This was how I was set free from Charlotte's hook for now. I would have to tell Smith if I wanted to go clubbing. It was not a choice for me. It was compulsory since he was my husband. I decided not to talk about what I had learned about Smith and Elena for now. It was in the past so it didn't matter but I would still tease Smith about it once I found out the whole truth. I prepared for the meeting since we had been told the time already. I saw Elena earlier. She said ‘hi’ before I did so I guess she had forgotten about what I did to her the day before yesterday. It was nice to let things go actually. Some minutes before the

His car has been destroyed by the explosion and he has confirmed the death of Mark and the other guys. However, he has no car and he is still bleeding.”“Send White Shark to help him now!” I exclaimed. “Also, I never thought of this but now is the best time to end this. Send the anonymous tip to our man in the police. Dan needs to be rooted out tonight for sure. Tell them he plans to escape tonight as well.”“I will rush there to provide support instantly,” White Shark reported.I waited for two minutes before Hibiscus gave his latest report.“I have sent the anonymous tip and I have given Dan’s address. They will be there in fifteen minutes,” Hibiscus replied. “Also, Valentine is back at headquarters. He is recuperating for now.”“Where is the nearest seaport from Dan’s place?” I asked her carefully. “I don’t care where

    Anna’s POVYes, it was time to end it all and put them to rest as well. This had to be done delicately. Mark had to come by himself.“How do we bring him in, ma’am?” Hibiscus asked me carefully.“Yeah, he had a phone with only three contact numbers. I think sending a photo of his death will connect us with Mr. Anonymous…” I replied carefully.“It probably will but it might also turn chaotic. There will be more than one person to confront and it is nothing good, you know,” White Shark replied carefully. He already knew he would be leading this operation.“That is why we cannot confront them normally. We will put Daniel Locke’s body in the house I was kidnapped and taken to and also, we will have bombs all around. I don’t know where to get bombs but you can, right?” I asked them carefully.“It is illegal but I have a private dealer. I will work things over with him and set things up within two hours,” White Shark told me calmly. “That saying, I am to detonate the bomb when I see Mark en

    Anna’s POV“I know him already. He is the captain, Daniel Locke…” I replied. “Hey, White Shark, prepare the interrogation room. I will speak to him when we get to the headquarters. My husband is there too, right?”“He is,” White Shark replied. “Also, he has been strange. He knew before you were attacked so he must have gotten the information from someone else. I asked about the person who told him about the attack but he has been keeping the secret. To avoid matters getting out of hand, I gave no information to him when we were going to rescue you. He will find out when you get back.”I sighed.“Don’t make things too complicated…” I replied. “My husband is not someone that would betray me or any other person. I will find out the truth when I get back so remain calm until then.”----------------When the car stopped at the headquarters, I entered with a classy feeling. I was confident and this topped my personal charts. I entered and I was welcomed by the agents at the headquarters. Hi

  • A Bride For The Bankrupt Billionaire    Hunting Game

    Anna’s POVThe men who kidnapped me were all gazing at me. For sure, they would think I was crazy. Truly, a person who was kidnapped should not have such nerve. I would need to show them how different I was from them. I didn’t have to panic because of them. Although I wasn’t confident that I wouldn’t get killed, I had faith in Smith and my other men. Surely, White Shark and Hibiscus would be listening to my voice right now. They would save me for sure.“None of these men knows my name!” he told me coldly. “There are four of them but they call me captain and nothing more. Please, stop talking about my name or I’ll be forced to deal with you harshly.”Then I remembered. The most core value of their organisation was secrecy and I could make him do something he would regret if he got angry.“Oh dear!” I exclaimed. “Your captain’s name used to be Daniel Locke but he bears John Locke right now. He is an adult movie star. Go to porn hub and search for his name. He is not too popular but he h

Andy took charge now.“Hey, you should stop this now…” Andy told them carefully. “I am sure you know the person I am transporting. If you didn’t know, you won’t bother doing this much. If you want money, we’ll pay. Please, remove the bombs and let’s sort this out properly.”“We came here for a mission and it is to kill the person you badly wish to protect. I have no reason to kill you as well so you can pay a million dollars for your freedom…” the leader of the men outside said carefully. I looked at Andy carefully and he nodded pitifully.“I don’t have that much on my bank account but I have it in a safe in my house. I can only wire two hundred thousand dollars right now. If you want a million dollars, you can go to my house,” Andy said carefully.“Two hundred thousand dollars sounds great!” the leader exclaimed. “However, how about a better deal. You don’t get

As for Wolf, do you have any requests?”“I need some men on standby,” Wolf replied. “The men in Dan’s mansion do not look friendly at all and if I am found out by any means, I have no means of escaping. It is better I leave now before my identity is uncovered. Please, send some men over.”“I will consider,” I replied.“Please,” Wolf begged over the call. “I have a bad feeling about this. Trust me, I am fearless but I also take my instincts seriously. We can do this some other time. I need to get out of here but without those men catching onto me.”I took a deep breath.“Hey, White Shark! Are you on the call too?” I asked.“I am…” White Shark replied. “I guess you wish to know what I think about Wolf’s request. I am right, aren’t I?”“You are,” I smiled. I do this regularly these days. “Let me know what you think about this. It might influence my decision a great deal so tell me wh

    Anna’s POV“We have a problem, boss,” White Shark stormed into my office. The fact that he called me ‘boss’ made me lit up a smile. It was unexpected but it also felt good for him to acknowledge me. He was formerly one of those men that never believed a lady could be good in other things except on the bed and in the kitchen. I must have changed his mindset. Anyway, he said there was a problem and I needed to hear.“What’s the problem? I’m busy, you know,” I told him carefully.“It is related to this current case and I think we have been found out…” White Shark replied. “I was tailing the CEO of AKS Group as you instructed and I made sure I wasn’t noticed by any of his bodyguards. However, he had secret bodyguards. They weren’t normal bodyguards which I could shake off like that. They seemed to be mercenaries from that secret organisation. I have left no traces though. They shot at my car too even though I never attacked them first.”“Spying on their financier is the same thing as atta

Since I shed your identity to the other guys, how many attempted murders has occurred?”“It was only yesterday,” Mark replied calmly. “No one knows if I will be killed tomorrow. You don’t understand how things works here. I can see the reason why your father does not trust you. You might be the end of this organization.”I slapped him. I knew he could have moved before then but he stood there, breathing hard. I was scared he would punch me but he only stood there. I was the one who slapped him but I was the one afraid. Sammie was still in the room and I could not bear to act like a weakling.“Listen up!” I shouted at him. “I am not a perfect human and no one is perfect. If I am lacking, you tell me instead of telling me I am not capable. Do you know how much it hurts? You should know already.”“I fucking know!” Mark shouted in the loudes

I heaved a sigh now.“You have never called me for something good. It is always a problem. This must be what made my father age so quickly and even fall sick. Some rest and peace would have been so helpful…” I told him carefully over the phone.“But you still need to listen. There is a reason to believe that someone wants to hurt our financier. Do you remember him? The CEO of AKS Group is the person I mean…” Mark told me carefully. “He is a billionaire and he has bodyguards watching over him. However, our organization provided some undercover mercenaries to keep him safe. Today, they discovered someone watching him.”“Did you capture the person?” I asked shortly.“Unfortunately, we were unable to capture the person behind this. Our men managed to capture the plate number and we are currently tracking the owner of the car. We need your directives
