Burn

"M―Mafia? Here?" Neal asked nervously. Arjun nodded, taking a tissue. He sneezed and coughed before turning to his friend again. "Yes. And not only them, there are more gangs but you can say Rendells are number one on the top five list. They are known for their cruel way of punishments actually. Do you know what they do to their preys?" Arjun asked leaning forward. Neal shook his head no. "Let me tell you, it is better to get killed on the spot than being just thirty minutes in their custody and getting tortured. They won't kill you easily. They will torture you until they get what they want from you." Arjun thought for a moment before continuing,"I once heard they burned a man alive. I don't know why. They pulled his all teeth and nails before pouring wax all over his body and tortured so many times before setting him on fire. And his―" "Okay that's enough. I think you are exaggerating." He shivered at the thought.

"How is Leo?" Kaiden asked Hunter as he entered his office.   "Fine. Good." Hunter replied massaging his temples. Drake entered the room. His friends turned to him.   "Did you find it?" Hunter asked his friend who is leaning against the wall with his arms crossed and one feet touching the wall, in a cold voice.   "No." Drake breathed out.   "For God's sake Drake, when are going to stop dropping your chain?" Hunter explode frustrated. Drake didn't answer and looked down.   Kaiden looked between his friends. Before he could speak, his phone rang.   Drake and Hunter turned towards him. Kaiden picked up the phone humming in answer to whoever was on the other side, and hang up.   "Found it

Lub dub lub dub lub dub It's all Neal can hear now. He felt like his heart is going to explode. Is this the feeling when a normal person meet a mob? He doesn't know. He was breathing hard. His nails dug into his palms as he fisted them. Hunter's cold eyes scanned Neal up and down and moved forward causing Neal to step back. The back of his thighs touched the armrest of the couch. Neal startled from the sudden contact, he let out a squeal before falling back. But before he fall Hunter caught his left arm and pulled Neal to his chest. Neal's eyes widened from the closeness. Their faces were inches apart. If he isn't wrong, the man's heart is beating like crazy just like his. He can feel it under his palm which rested on Hunter's left pec. Being this close, Neal started to notice every single thing on the man's face. Hunter's thick black brows knitted together, his slightly parted red lips and the very small mole on the left side of h

16 months ago "Don't panic Hazel, stay calm. Please.." Hunter whispered as he squeezed his sister's hand as they neared to the labour room. Her face showed how much pain she is in. She gripped the edge of the stretcher with the other hand. "Hunter..." She called out when the nurse said Hunter to wait outside. They stopped. Hunter leaned down to hear his sister whatever she is going to tell. "If....If I don't make it, p-please give my child a normal life. I don't....i don't want my child to have a life we lived. I don't want these chaos in my baby's life, do you hear me?" She asked through pain but her voice was firm. Hunter's eyes welled up, but he blinked them back and nod with a hoarse 'yeah'. "Promise me." She breathed out squeezing his hand. "I promise. Don't worry." He said and squeezed her hand back. Hazel smiled at her little brother. "Take care. I love you." She said with a smile. "Lov

"If you can't do this my way, we can end the deal here." Hunter barked at the person on the other side of the phone, startling the individuals present in the room. They were in conference room. A huge rectangular table made of mahogany was placed in the middle of the room. Right side of the room was occupied by shelves with organized files. On the wall on the other side, hung a massive painting of a calm but fierce lion with sharp features. It was bright inside because of the numerous lights. The room was on the top floor so if you looked from there you could see the whole place. The cold gust of wind from the half opened window filled a comfortable chillness inside. "I heard Boss kept that guy here?" Caleb queried quietly, leaning slightly to the side so Kaiden could hear him. Drake was engaged in a serious conversation with Oliver and Ian. Brad was organizing the files Jeong just handed him, and Kaiden was on his phone as usual.
