Chasing Anna Chapter- [ 17 ]
Anna Harris The early morning encounter with Hunter was totally unexpected but somewhere in the corner of my heart I felt relived after I saw him. He is back home. Rochelle kept me a good company throughout the day but when she told me about Hunter having a fiance and they're about to get married in the next week, I feel myself again sinking in the depth of darkness from where I can't see the light at the end.In less than forty eight hours, Hunter slipped through the barriers I built around me when Benjamin betrayed me. I always trusted people easily, not able to see through their deceptive faces but his betrayal taught me a lesson that I should not trust someone so blindly because when they break it, they break your heart and kill your soul.But I can't pull myself to distrust Hunter. He gave me no reason to doubt his intentions. He's the one who brought my father and Benjamin's truth in light.I trust him but I don't trust myself. It's impossible to stay sane whenever he's around

Hunter StormThe heavy silence in the air where no one speaks a word, only the sound of forks and knives clicking against the china plate can be heard. I focus my solo attention on the boiled sprouted vegetables on my own plate like they are the most adorable thing in the world.It's better than involving in an unwanted conversation with two women sitting on my opposite side, shooting their penetrating glances on me time to time. I am enjoying this thick silence than initiating a world war over the dining table."Mrs. Storm, with your permission, shall we invite the wedding planner here?" Mrs. Barnes finally cut the silence.The clanking stops suddenly and it's my cue to watch my grandmother's reaction. This woman has multiple shades of her personality, tender to touch, compassionate to fierce, gentle to ruthless, it depends on the person who dares to cross her path. Even the mighty Nathaniel Storm hesitates to use his power in front of her.And today she's my knight in shining armour

Hunter Storm "Well, the day can end in two ways, Keith, that's your name, am I right?" I lean back on the edge of table behind me and let out a puff of my cigarette. I know how I want the day to end but I give him the first choice.The man, tied in on the chair with ropes, his face battered after a brutal punching, in a hardly recognizable state, glares me with his swollen purple eyes."Blake, he isn't speaking and here I am dying to hear his godly voice." I always love to add dramatic scenes while dealing with my enemies and the man sitting in front of me almost cost us Brandon and Rochelle's life two weeks ago."Boss, he hasn't said a word since we caught him. I think he prefer dying than saying a word about his master." Blake says.I take another whiff of the cigarette and tower my body over the beaten man, holding the arms of chair," What is he saying, Keith? You haven't said a word?" I release the smoke on his face causing him to cough badly.I feel immense pleasure to see the f

Anna Harris "So, Anna, are we friends now?" Brandon, Rochelle's brother asks me with his charming playful smile."Aren't we already friends?" I ask him in the same playful tone."C'mon Brand, you can't stop hitting on her. How does this friendship idea pop in your mind when all you are planning on to take her in your room and-" Before she can complete the sentence, I clamp my palm on her mouth.I want the earth to swallow me alive. Mrs. Storm is right, this woman surely need to filter her manners, not for her married life but also for the others who aren't comfortable with such boldness."I really want to be more than friends with her but I see she's out of my league, so I am settled on friendship." He answers his sister but his gaze is stuck on me."I would really like to be friends with you, Brandon. You're the first guy who doesn't want to get into my pants." I smile at him.A grin breaks on his handsome face, showing his dimples. He raise his beer can to toss for our new friendsh

Anna Harris His lips on mine sent electricity pulsating through my body and tastes like the sweetest nectar with the slight taste of alcohol but I am liking it. It feels familiar but I relish it. My hands involuntarily moves to his neck and I pull him more closer, I shouldn't encourage it, this is wrong, he belongs to another woman but why I am failing to build a wall between us, why am I attracted to this sexy meat?He groans due to my lack of response and bite on my lip causing me to give him the access to explore my mouth. His hands drops from the wall to my shoulders and started tracing my skin over the fabric of my dress.His arms stops on the curve of my waist and give me a light squeeze, his crotch, specially his hardness presses on my lower abdomen and it resultes in butterflies doing salsa inside my tummy.He pulls me impossibly closer but at the mean time, my lungs rebel for oxygen. I place my palms on his broad chest and try to push him. He breaks the kiss and stares at me

Anna Harris Pressing on the door bell, I stand impatient with a million butterflies doing a whirlwind movement inside my stomach. Suddenly, the time seems to pass slower or I am just too excited to meet my loved ones after three days. It is the longest span of time that I've been apart from them unless I used to go on trips with my friends.How's my Mom and her drinking habits?How's Aiden coping up with this new changes in our lives? Money is certainly a big issue for us and being only twenty one and still a college student, it's harder for him to take care of both our Mom and himself.I press it again as no one opens the door, now my anxiety is reaching to another level."You should release the stress, Miss Harris, they're doing fine." I hear Blake saying, who is standing just two feet away from me.I crane my neck backward to give him a quizzical look," How do you know about their wellbeing, Mr. Blake?" I raise my brow," Don't tell me that your Boss has been spying on my family as

Anna Harris "Anna, who told you all this and more importantly who is Mr. Solares?" Aiden's suspecious eyes lingers between us.Here comes the hardest part. How am I going to tell him that a stranger offered me a helping hand when I had nowhere to go, nobody to give me a shelter. That stranger is no ordinary man but a rich businessman of the states.Hunter freaking Storm."Blake works for Hunter Storm, the man who gave me protection and more importantly a roof over my head when everyone turns their back on me including our Mom." I wince at the last part."Hunter Storm?" He blinks his eyes again, disbelief is all I can decipher from the mixed emotions playing on his face."Yes, Hunter Storm, I walked into him in the same night when-" I pause and swallow the lump in my throat, it's still hard for me to recite those moments."Anna, are you trying to say that Hunter Storm, the billionaire bad guy appeared from nowhere and offered you his help in the exchange of nothing?" He asks."I know

Anna HarrisWhen I enter in the penthouse with Blake on my tail, it's ghostly silenced and a familiar coldness mixed in a certain warmth is lingering in the air means Hunter has returned from his work. He usually comes back after ten or perhaps in midnight. Now I understand what are the possible reasons of his late coming. "Boss wants to see you in his office." Blake says to me thus snapping me out of my morbid thoughts. "How do you know that he wants me in his office. You just entered here with me?" I arch my brow at him curiously. "There is a device called phone, Miss Harris." He replies with sarcasm.I look down in embarrassment. It was stupid of me to ask him a very irrelevant question. "Please come with me." He signals me to follow him to upstairs. I quietly trail behind him but my brain isn't at peace. I need some answers and today I am going to get them from him. I am just tired of being played by everyone in my life. The first floor has two wings, left and right. The rig

Three years laterAnna Harris"Wake up, you sleepy head. We have a big day today." I shake a big sleepy sloth called my husband for the sixth time but he doesn't budge a bit. Sighing to myself, I try the last thing that comes in my mind."What the fuck!" He yells springing up on the bed with a baffled look on his sleepy face."I told you, don't test my patience but do you ever listen to me?" I give him a devilish smirk and place the empty jug on the table, his wet face and naked chest with tiny water beads is a treat to my lusty eyes but I need to restrain my desires until the day ends."It's called torture, Anna. Who wakes up someone by throwing ice cold water on them. I could have shot you out of my habit, Love." He says with concern and I know he's right here."Sorry, it won't happen again but you left me with no other choice, Hunter. We're getting late, the wedding will start at eleven." I reason."It's only 6:15 AM in the morning, babes. What will we do?" He groans, his eyes are
Chasing Anna Last Part
Hunter Storm "Are you ready to do it, with Anna. I mean she's not familiar with our work line and definitely not the violence in front of her." Brandon says as we prepare for the final countdown.A month passed since the accident, the truth revelation and the day Brandon killed Liam Harris. Anna took the loss of her father very maturily though I found her crying silently in the darkness of night when no one sees her pain and mourning on the death of her father. It breaks my heart to think that somewhere I was responsible for her grief. I tried distancing myself from her so she could have her time to grieve but she confronted me saying she had no grudges against me and she didn't want our relation to get blanched in the flames of past."Back to earth, Hunter." Rochelle snaps her hand in front of my face."I am on the earth, Roch. Now, let's check upon Anna first then we'll give the perfect concluding to our last enemy in New York." I say grabbing my gun and putting it in holster."I s

Hunter Storm "One""Two""Three""Let's go inside but make sure we don't make a sound." I whisper to the others while inserting the key in the lock of back door of the house.I silently unclock the door and step inside the kitchen and then signal the others to follow me. A man like Liam Harris can never be trusted. I don't know whether he's planning a secret attack on us or even plotting to take us down while living in our protection."Roch, you have to deal with Mrs. Harris. Don't be rough on her." I remind my cousin who is infamous for her torture innovations."Yes, Boss." She salutes me."They're in their bedroom." Brandon whispers."Still be careful. We don't know if he has some goons hidden here." I alert them.We steadily padded our way to the bedroom. The lights are off which makes it easy for us to navigate though we have to step carefully as the wooden flooring makes creaking noise."Let's open the door, stay behind me." Brady says and opens the door. A sigh of relief escape

Hunter Storm My angel is awake now and no news could make me this much relived. The moment she opened her pale blue eyes, my world stopped spinning. I found myself drowned in their depth. They told many unsaid things.

It was another moment of relief for me. The other good news for us is that her reproductive organs are in good shape and in a few years, she'll be fit and healthy to carry a child.By the time I take my exit from the hospital, it's already 8:00 AM in the morning.

Anna HarrisI feel my body being punched brutally, every single muscle screams like a truck has crushed me under it's weight yet I'm alive to feel the pain. I try to open my eyes but they burn as soon as I open them and shut them close again.Am I dead?Last I recall being injected by Benjamin and a paralysis attack numbing my body. I fell unconscious in the park and everything went black.I don't remember anything after that means either I am dead or I am stuck between life or death."Doctor, she's waking up!"I hear Hunter's panicked yellings.It means I survived and now I'm in a hospital. I try to adjust my vision again and indeed find myself resting on a hospital bed with many tubes attatched on my body and beeping sound of monitor."Hun...Hunter." I try to call him but my throat stick due to dryness.He stops yelling and turn to look at me. His devastated sight breaks my heart. He looks lost and lifeless."Anna, you're finally awake." His words come more like a weak whisper and n

Hunter Storm My feet don't allow me to move forward inside the hospital. I have never been this terrified in my whole life. I half fullfiled my promise to Anna, Benjamin is still alive but I have another plan for him.I want Anna to witness his death.I spot my team surrounding the hospital premises. They're alert which gives me a sense of relief. They are never to be told twice once I give them an order."Good morning, Boss." They wish me in unison then I realize the time. My wrist watch shows 4:15 AM in the morning.I recall the last few hours and the gruesome scene I witnessed. It took us five hours to find the woman's family to hand her over some money with her body and also dump the other dead body. We dragged Benjamin to the dungeon in our warehouse where only very few hostages were taken before.I can still hear the ear deafening screams of Benjamin when hot water was poured over him. His blanched skin gave me some relief on my burning anger.I didn't ask the receptionist this

Hunter Storm"Take your positions and do not fire until it's necessary, is that clear. We're standing on a minefield, one wrong step and you'd be found in pieces. These goons are savage, they wouldn't mind before chopping your limbs with a kitchen knife." I remind my men who walks behind me with their guns on alert."Got it, Boss. Don't worry, there will be no unnecessary violence." Brady replies in the behalf of other men."Brand, you'll be with me but if things go out of our hands, I want you to leave." I tell Brandon. We should never underestimate our enemies.Brandon gives me a look of disbelief."Are you even listening to your own words, brother? You want me to leave you here to win or die alone. No way!" He scoffs."Try to understand the situation, Brand." I take a deep breath and then look up at my scowling cousin,"If things go south and I won't make it out, I want you to escape from here. Think wisely, Brandon. We both are chidless means if we both die tonight, our bloodline w

Rochelle's povThe walk to the doctors cabin feels like centuries and a constant hammering in my heart. The worst images fills my brain. I couldn't picture a dead Anna and a broken Hunter.My brother finally got someone who could bring some colors in his dull life, some light to his darkness and some good to his evil.Anna is special. She has the purest heart I've ever known with compassion for everyone she knows. She tried her best to give me the comfort I needed from a friend."Please have a seat first, Ms. Storm." The doctor offers and I complied.Taking his own seat, he adjust his specs and passes me some water,"Please have this, you look stressed and whatever I'm going to tell you would do even worse." He says."Doctor, please don't talk in riddles and come to the point." I snap at him because he sounds more like a grandmother than a professional doctor.He tries to argue with me again but my hand goes for my gun which immediately stilled him."I have suffered a lot more worse th

Hunter Storm"It looks like he has planned it all verh neatly. Just look at this man. He entered in a public toilet and never came out. How is it possible?" Brady scratches his beard as we stare at the laptop screen in front of us.Brandon pulled his strings with his father in law who helped him to get access in the server of traffic control. The footage from around the park captured a very blurr image of Benjamin in a hoodie and a cap on and black shades to hide his identity properly. He maintains a very normal posture so no one could suspect him and after walking through a few blocks, he entered in a public toilet and never came out. Our men scanned the toilet and there's no secret exit door."Is he a ghost? I mean where is he gone if he doesn't come out until five minutes ago. Our men has been guarding the whole area. They didn't catch any unsual activities as well." Brandon says thoughtfully."Or there's a strong possibility that we're not looking into it with our full focus."I fi
