/Hunter's POV/“What the fuck? Why is my hotel on fire? Who caused it?” I raged.“You all better start talking, or so help me God I will light you all on fire.” I threatened, looking at my employees who were looking down like they were seeing something interesting on the floor.“We also don't know how it happened, but I saw a plane twirling around the building, it happened about seven to nine times, I can't recall but I know it should be up to that, the camera facing up was able to catch that before the building blew up, the Rave said she saw a car drove by and threw a lighter at the building we were lucky to be able toSave it.” He finished his rubbish and I had to call upon the guardians of hell to hold me back.“Are you hearing yourself? Why were you away from the CCTV control room? You had only one work, you could have raised the alarm if you had seen it happen, but you're now telling me what happened after it had happened? What am I supposed to do with that? You're infuriating t
/Penelope's POV/“Can you not go? What if you get hurt?” I whined, looking at my husband gearing to attack Scorpion, I can’t deny the fact that he was out of proportion and he blew shit up himself, but I was worried for him, what if he doesn’t come back, what if he gets injured beyond treatment?“I’m sorry love, but this is inevitable and it must happen, you have to understand that even though I want to be here with you, I have a reputation to safeguard and I will lose it if I keep on overlooking things like this,” He explained, but it wasn’t making any ounce of sense in my head, but if there is something I have known about Hunter, it’s that whatever he sets his mind to do, there is no going back for him.“I understand but you can send your men, at least I get to know they are safe.” I pleaded, sounding so desperate that I was considering the option of getting on my knees.“The mafia doesn’t work that way in my family, my men are not my slaves, they are family and family protect each
/Penelope's POV/“Accident.” He mumbled, my step faltered, and his grip on my hands tightened, I placed my head on the migraine forming, and the bile rising in my throat increased tenfold.“What? Who had an accident? How did it happen? They just left a few hours ago? Was it all a set-up?” I questioned feeling weak and worried, the question resting at the tip of my tongue remained there, and the sudden urge to appear at my husband's side to check if he was okay became overwhelming.“I wasn't given many details, but from the look of it, he was severely injured, Gabriel sounded so scared, and that has never happened before, he's always the one who doesn't show what he's feeling, so for him to act so scaredly, it must be something pretty serious.” He informed me, that my knees buckled one more time, if it wasn't for the iron grip on my fist, I'm sure I would not be able to stand.“I should not have ignored the nagging feeling, I should have known there was something wrong. I should have t
/Penelope’s POV/It's been two weeks now and Hunter is still yet to be fully conscious, his motor reflexes are fully active and his eyes are opened, he listens to my ramble but I am so sad that he can't talk, but I'm thankful because this is better than losing him.The doctors are saying that there is a possibility that he might be able to talk in a few hours, but the underlying question of him being able to retain his memory still lingers in the atmosphere.“How is Gabriel doing? ” I questioned, not sparing a glance at Big Drive whose body dipped the sofa down, I scowled at him.“You elephant, take it easy, you will spoil this couch if you continue dropping your body on it like a bag of beans,” I glared, a small smile became evident on his stressed face, his dark circles standing out, we had barely gotten good and decent amount of sleep, especially with how paranoid Big Drive has been, he has this nagging feeling that someone can remove their oxygen masks while we are sleeping.“You
/Penelope's POV/“Nope, I can’t remember, it’s as if that part of my memory has wiped off, ” He admitted.Since then, I have been busy with my little research, trying to figure out who did that to him, I know Big Drive and Gabriel are out of it, but this looks a lot like an inside plan, all I wanted to do was get my hands on any information, I’ve never been a fan of a computer but I have to be a hacker if I want to know what happened, realizing that there was a tracker in their car which is not theirs, I wondered how it got there.“Do you know about a tracker placed in the SUV? This doesn’t look like yours, it looked a lot like a foreign tracker, I’ve been trying to get who it came from, but I’m still a novice when it comes to this.” I asked Gabriel, trusting him and Bog Drive about this information, I did not say anything to my husband, probably because I knew he would go nuts or try to stop me and I couldn’t have that, so it is us three little secrets.“Nope, but it looks very famil
/Penelope's POV/“I think there is someone after Hunter’s throne.” I read out loud seeing the text from Bella.“I don't know if our phones are being tapped right now, but I think we need to keep it away, at least from where we would be having our conversation. ” she mouthed, not whispering anything, thankfully I paid attention to the reading people's mouth out of curiosity, nodding my head. I snatched the device from her and placed it close to a snoring Big Drive.“What do you mean, or should I rephrase it as what do you know?” I mumbled muffling our voices, I don't want to think that this place is tapped with wires or hearing devices, but there is a possibility that there might be, as we don't know the extent of who we are dealing with.“I know damn much that only a few people, know that Hunter is in a coma, the others think he's on a trip right now, I went to an underground club yesterday, that's where information is being bought or heard by threats.” She explained, breaking it down
/Penelope's POV/“I need to tell you something, I know about the per” A loud bang echoed in the hospital, my heart spiralling out of control in my ribcage, I looked at the lifeless body sprawled on the floor, with my hands in my racing heart.Finding the hitman who shot the guy who was about the spill a piece of unknown information has been quite the task, it made me realize that the person in charge of the sniper could kill Hunter, but he didn't, I realized that nowhere is safe enough, because even the surveillance camera was wiped off before Big Drive could think of getting the hit man’s face, the irritation I felt when they were moving the corpse was nothing to write home about.“Fuck, I should have been on the watch, I should not have been sleeping, what if the shot was meant for you, or worse directed at you? You could have been in the boy's place. I would have killed myself honestly because even if Hunter won't kill me, he will never be the same again, he will always resent me,
/Penelope's POV/After discovering that someone was shot while he was on his bed, in a coma state, Hunter was fucking pissed at whoever it was that carried out that mission, he was worried that If I was the one shot, he kept on blaming himself, claiming how he would never forget and how he will walk through the distraction part and with his gun and knives.“What have you been up to? I heard you are into hacking now, you took the law into your own hands to find out who carried out the attack, as much as I like the fact that you're caring and bold, hacking is not a small job and it's a dirty one, you don't want to know how bad they get threatened often,” He whispered into my ears, his body heat warming into mine from the back, his nose nuzzling in my happy spot, it would be a very big lie on my part if I said I didn't feel complete with him.“I had no choice, so you can't blame me. I don't know who and what to trust, it was as if Liam started behaving like a possessed person because he
