Chapter 55Esmeralda's POV"No, no! What are you doing? You're crazy!" I yell.."I refuse to go down alone! Now stop trying to open the door, it's locked" A dark voice yells back."Help! Somebody help! OH MY GOD, WATCH OUT!!" I yell just as the car swerves off the road to hit a fallen tree and becomes suspended in air before coming back down and tumbling a few times. I scream with all my strength in horror and pain when I see blood pooling on the floor beside me."Esmeralda, Esmeralda! Wake up. It's okay, I'm here for you" I hear a soothing voice say and I feel arms wrap around me.I snuggle closer to the warmth and calm my breathing before slowly peeling my eyes open.It's just a nightmare. It isn't real.I look around and notice that I'm half sitting, half lying down on Mr. Heart's hospital bed with my head resting in the crook of someone's neck. What happened? Where is Mr. Heart?Raising my head up to see who it is, my heart starts beating fast when I see Mr. Stone staring at me

Chapter 56*Hunter's POV*"I'm ready when you are, Mr. Stone" Mike from beside me and I take a deep breath before nodding."Let's go" I say and follow Mike as he steps out of the car.We're currently outside Esmeralda's parents home and nerves that weren't there before start to rear their heads. What if I've been wrong all along?Can I handle the truth?There's only one way to find out.I glance at my wrist watch and notice that it's nine thirty; a pretty inappropriate time to have strangers visiting but I just can't find in me the patience to wait till tomorrow.In a few long strides, we're at the front door and Mike rings the doorbell. For a few seconds, it seems like no one heard us but footsteps approaching the door halts Mike from ringing the bell again."Who is there?" A deep male voice asks."We're here to see Mr and Mrs Griffin" Mike responds almost immediately."That doesn't answer my question. Who's asking? Provide a direct answer or I'm calling the cops""It's Mr. Stone, t

Chapter 57Esmeralda's POVMr. Stone didn't come back that night but Keesha kept me company till morning until she had to leave for work.I wake up from my peaceful sleep when the door opens slowly and Mr. Stone walks in looking as perfect as ever. I pretend to still be asleep as his footsteps approach the bed making my heartbeat speed up.Dammit, what's wrong with me?I hear him gently dragging the chair Keesha was previously sitting on closer to the bed. My breath catches when I feel him tuck my hair behind my ear and I forget how to breath altogether when I feel something settle on the pillow my head is resting on.I finally open my eyes and try to pretend I'm just waking by attempting to let out a fake yawn but that yawn gets caught in my throat when my eyes meet hazel ones.The owner of those eyes currently has his head on my pillow and is staring at me!The corner of his mouth turns up in a smirk as he continues staring and waiting for me to do something."I knew you were awake

Chapter 58Esmeralda's POVIn a flash, Hunter flies out of his car and storms towards us looking ready to kill. Before he can reach us though, I push Jack away and punch him. Hard."This is the last warning I'll give you Jack. Don't ever touch me again and stay away from me! The next time you come near me, I'm kicking you in the balls and getting a restraining order" I puff out secretly shaking my hand that was stinging.Why the hell is his cheek so bony?Jack gapes at me suddenly speechless as he holds his red cheek."I- Okay" He says turning around and walking to his car that I hadn't taken notice of.As soon as his car pulls away, I turn to face Hunter hesitantly. Why do I even feel guilty? It's not like I kissed Jack back. Even if I did, it shouldn't matter because Hunter is my boss nothing elseI'm surprised to find him looking at me in amusement though. "Damn..." He drawls out as he takes a few steps towards me and I take some back. He continues this until we're inside before

Chapter 59Esmeralda's POVThe week following the day I was discharged from the hospital got stranger as the days went by. And by stranger, I mean the way Hunter treated me got sweeter progressively.He even invited me to lunch with his friends before they all flew back to their respective homes. The lunch consisted of me partly feeling left out because they all seemed close and partly fangirling over Bloom Gates.Every morning since then, he has had his driver pick me up for work. This morning, he was even in the car.Unfortunately or fortunately, he hasn't made any more moves to touch me since then. "Excuse me, I have an appointment with Mr. Stone" A female voice snaps me out of my train of thoughts.I look up to see a beautiful young woman smiling sweetly at me."Your name please?" I ask opening up Hunter's schedule folder on my computer."Dr. Keller" She responds making me scroll up and down trying to find her name."I'm sorry but your name isn't scheduled here. Kindly call ahe

Chapter 60Hunter's POV"No...I mean aren't there other tents available?" Esme shrieks."Why? Are you scared you won't be able to resist me?" I tease making her glare at me."Yes, because I totally have no self control and you're just so handsome" she replies sarcastically before her eyes suddenly go wide."Oh my God, I'm so sorry sir" she apologizes."I think we're way past all the formalities Esme, stop apologizing and speak your mind" I say unable to hold back my smile any longer. "In that case, I refuse to share a tent with you" she says folding her hands across her chest and staring me squarely in the eyes."And I'm asking you why?" I question putting both of my hands in my pockets and taking a step towards her."Because you're a man and I'm a woman" she blurts out not relenting."How does that affect anything?" I ask again enjoying myself more than I should."Because you know, we... I...you...forget it" she hisses glaring at me before stomping to the bed.God, I've missed her a

Chapter 61Esmeralda's POV"Then I'm sure she wouldn't want you to blame yourself for whatever happened. She would want you to be happy" I say even though I feel like I have a brick placed on my heart.Will anyone ever love me like that?"Thank you" Hunter says and i'm about to open my mouth to respond when he adds."We should probably get back to the tent" He stands and stretches forth his hand to help me get up and I grab it.However, instead of releasing my hand after helping me up, he holds onto it and pulls me along as we walk back to the tent. My heart beats wildly in my chest all the wayOn our way back, we branch at a little eatery-like space and order some food.After we make it back to the tent he lets go of my hand to walk to his side. Soon we are both settled in our beds and I reach for the lamp."Do you want it on or off sir?" I ask praying he'd say 'on'."Leave it on" he says and I breathe a sigh of relief. I hate darkness."Good night Hunter" I say turning to face away

Do you think I'm like you? For God's sake, my boyfriend is nearby, you pig!" She yells and Hunter starts to move towards them dragging me along with him."Hey, hey, Bloom calm down. He won't try that again" Hunter pleads and Bloom eyes Blake in hatred before answering."He better not if he knows what's good for him" "Will you just let us talk for once?" Blake asks Bloom; anger audible in his voice."We have nothing to talk about. Hunter, do you mind if we switch partners?" She directs the last part towards Hunter and I."Sure" Hunter says letting go of my hand and pecking my forehead."See you later" he murmurs just before Bloom storms off making me follow her.We walk in silence for a while with her lost in thoughts but when I hear her sniffling, I decide to try to talk to her."Are you okay?"

Chapter 70 Daisy's POV *3 months later* "Aww come on Daisy, I was joking, you can't seriously be mad at me for this" Hunter says and I grunt in response. "Daisy, talk to me" He says taking his eyes off the road for a few seconds to look at me. "Whatever, I don't care" I answer facing away from him and staring at my phone like there was something interesting on it. "Wait, are you jealous?" He asks grinning widely making me feel like kissing the stupid thing of his face. "Why would I be jealous of your 'new pretty personal assistant'" I respond making air quotes around 'new pretty assistant' to show I'm quoting him exactly how he said it. I had quit working for him a month ago to move to my dad's own group of hotels which he will be handing over to me when he retires. It also helps that I studied business management in college. My post back at Stone's empire has been vacant up until today when another P.A was employed by Mrs. White. We are currently on our way to a little get t

Chapter 69Hunter's POV"Don't even think of moving boy" A sadistic voice says from beside me.The person walks forward with his gun still pointing at me and I see the face responsible for ten years of misery in all of our lives: Levi."What pretty boy? Why are you glaring at me like that?" He asks with a grin and one eyebrow raised or maybe his two eyebrows but I wouldn't know since the other eye was covered with an eye patch."If it's money you want, I'll give it to you" I state my heart beating wildly at the fact that Eve still had her gun pointed at Daisy.On a closer look, I notice Daisy's chest moving up and down rapidly. The expression on her face was that of pure panic and she looked like she would pass out at any moment now.Angel, please stay with me.Levi laughs maniacally at my question before responding "Money? You think I want money? Come to think of it, maybe the reason I haven't killed my self all these years was because I knew there was a probability this bastard was

Chapter 68Hunter's POVI left Daisy at her Dad's place after talking to him for a while so that they could talk more. He was surprised we used his hair for the DNA testing instead of just asking him for his blood but I told him I didn't want to get his hopes up.Daisy said she would head to Keesha's place after leaving there so I told her I would send the driver down to her but Mr. Heart said his driver would do it.It made me happy to see how proud he was of who Daisy had grown into. Immediately after leaving there, I had called my friends and Daisy's friends to tell them about the good news. To say they were ecstatic was an understatement. They all promised to fly back as soon as they had chances to.Right now though, I'm heading to the office where Mike is waiting for me. I had thought that I would not be needing his services anymore since I found Daisy but something about seeing Eve again does not sit well with me.When Daisy passed out, I had rushed to her side and before I kne

I had to use the bathroom but I didn't want to wake you up" I hear her voice say and I turn to see her coming out of the bathroom making me sag in relief."What's wrong? Why do you look so shocked to see me?" She asks laughing as she puts her hair into a loose ponytail."Nothing, come here" I reply making her walk towards me.When she reaches the bedside, I pull on her hand making her fall on top of me."Where's my morning kiss?" I ask grinning up at her."No, I haven't brushed" she answers trying to wriggle out of my grip but that only makes me tighten it around her."How can you say no to such a cute face?" I say trying my best to pout."Stop, that looks so wrong on you" she says laughing and I pout harder

Never again" I hear a soothing voice say and I suddenly open my eyes to see Hunter."Hunter, I'm bleeding" I say sitting up on the comfortable bed in a strange room. When I look down at my stomach though, I see no blood."What's going on?" I say holding my head to calm the pounding."Did Lily make it home safe? Wait, what happened to you? Why do you look old?"

After a few seconds, I notice that her hands and legs are tied up. I hurriedly try to help her and then realize that mine are tied too.I struggle to sit up and only then do I notice that we are in a car and Levi is the driver while Miss. Violet sat in the passenger seat."Daisy, I'm scared, Why is your nanny doing this to us? And who is that crazy man?" Lily asks crying."Shut your mouth before I shut it for you" Levi yells while increasing the speed of the car."Listen Levi, you want me not her. She has nothing to do with this, she's not even family, let her go, please" I plead while I scoot closer to Lily who was shaking in terror."Miss. Violet, having her with us will only increase your risk of being caught. Please tell him to let her go, you don't need her. I'll do anything you want, please" I direct my words towards Miss.

We spent two more days there after the day Hunter asked me out and I felt really sad when I had to say goodbye to Hunter's friends who I can now boldly call my friends.Although Blake and I got off on the wrong foot on my first day at work, this camp made me realize he was actually a very nice person. Fun to be with too.I also learnt that he was going through a messy divorce and a custody war with his ex-wife who he referred to as the reincarnation of the devil.Blake and Bloom remained polite to each other throughout but nothing more. I got closer to Lily, Chloe and Bloom on the third day when men and ladies spent their days apart.It was so easy to feel like I had known them for a long time and they treated me as such.When we met for lunch with the guys, Hunter kept throwing me silly winks and kisses across the table and I couldn't stop giggling.I as a person don't giggle so I don't know what t
