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

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

Anna Harris "I was the man with whom you spent the most beautiful moment of your life, Anna. I was the man who stole your virginity but at the same moment you stole something equally precious from me, my heart.""Is this one of your sick jokes, Mr. Storm?" I let out a low growl. What does he think of himself?"Do I look like I am joking, Anna?" His green eyes turns dark and for a moment, I can see a storm forming behind those beautiful orbs.Oh fuck! He isn't joking but he was the man who drove me to a different land, those memories which I can't erase. Those enchanting green eyes belongs to him and the familiar warmth. He has been in front of me from the very next day but how could I not recognize him?Tears brim in the back of my eyes but I strongly hold them back."Listen, Anna."

Hunter StormThe air in the dining hall of my father's mansion is thick. The women on the table sit nervously staring at the men who are also watching the stare challenge between me and my Dad. Nathanial Storm aka my Dad maintains his stance as his crosses his arms over his chest trying to look intimidating. The rest of the people are actually peeing in their pants but not me.If someone asks me who I hate the most right now, the answer would be the man sitting on the head's seat, burning holes in the rest of the family members by his icy cold eyes, oxymoron here."How this absurd idea even crossed your mind that you'd cancel the marriage just before five days, Hunter Storm?" He asks in a threatening tone."Marrying Valentina Barnes have never been my idea since the beginning if you remember clearly, Father. It was you who brought it upon me and now I can't suffer alone.

Brandon whispers."Trust me brother, you'll be getting the most of the advantage of my preposition." I response in whisper."Don't test my patience, Hunter.

I declare."First you break my daughter's heart a number of times, humiliated her countless times and now you have audacity to tell me that she's going to get most of your utopian plans."

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

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 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.

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

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

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
