Chasing Anna Chapter - [ 34 ]
Anna Harris I haven't slept a dreamless yet peaceful sleep in years. I can roughly count since my grandmother died ten years ago. She used to pat my hairs until my eyes give up and tuck me in the bed even though I was a grown up teenager. Last night I felt the same peace being in the arms of a stranger. I shouldn't call him a stranger though, we have crossed that boundary long ago and now the sexual tension is too high.He made love to me throughout the night and in the bathroom yet my body is aching for him. He turned me into an addictive for him, for the magic he do with my body.My thoughts comes to a halt when I hear a knock on the library door. I flinch by the sudden disturbance but compose myself as soon as a strong feminine perfume fills my nostrils.Oh I hate this brand even though it's expensive. I turn to look at the person, a young woman precisely, not some ordinary woman but a true epitome of heavenly beauty. I am stricken by the sight of her. Don't get me wrong, I am str

Anna HarrisI stare at his face to read why he's so worried for my safety, it just a humanity instinct or he cares for me more than just a fellow human being."Answer me, Anna. Did she say something mean to you or hurt you?" His jaws are tightly clench when he asks me about my encounter with his ex-fiancee."No, she didn't hurt me in either way, Hunter. She came here to see you but left immediately when she didn't find you here." I lie bluntly on his face."Are you sure?" He scrunches his brows, clearly he doesn't believe a word I said."Yes, she only checked here and went away without saying any mean word to me." I lie again but my heart wants me to tell him about her hostility and sermon."I hope you're telling me the truth because I won't spare her if she tries to take vengeance on you just because I dumped her for my own reasons." He seems relieved but not sure if I told him the truth."Dump is a derogatory word, Hunter. She's a woman and needs respect. You broke her heart and hum

Anna Harris"Do not talk unless he asks you a question. He's not a man you would like to meddle. He plays mind games with his preys." Hunter says as the car slows down when a beautiful mansion comes in the view, surrounded by huge walls and an iron gate where a dozen armed guards are posted."You're not helping me, Hunter." I let out the breath that I had been holding."I am just warning you beforehand. Please avoid talking about your father if he asks you." He glances over me."Hunter, can I ask you something?" I look at him and muster up the courage to question him how Nathaniel Storm find out about me.He nods his head in a motion to allow me to speak."You said that nobody except your cousins and Blake knows that I'm staying with you then how does your father know about it?"He stares at me but remain silent and it increases my anxiety."Hunter, I'm asking you something." I repeat with more impatient tone."Have patience, Anna. All your questions will be answered shortly." He says

Anna Harris "Liam Harris, your father and I used to be friends a long ago, long before we step into the mafia business and eventually fell in love with the same woman, my wife but at that time, she was a mutual friend." Nathaniel says, a sad emotion flashes through his cold eyes when he mentions Hunter's mother but what stung more that my Dad loved a woman truly, it sounds weird. The man never treats a woman more than just a mistress.I steal a glance of Hunter whose face devoids any emotion, he sits still like a rock and waiting his father to continue the story that he already knows."But at the end, she chose me over him and that's where our friendship turned sour, he begun to distance himself from us, I thought it was natural for a man whose heart is broken but Liam had the most heinous revenge for us. I and Hunter's mother, Hannah got married within a month of I proposing her and we shifted to New York from a small town of Philadelphia. I used to work in a company, now you may wo

Anna HarrisTen minutes, thirty two seconds later, I've been summoned back in the court of king Nathaniel Storm like a war prisoner but the king has sympathy for his captive, note the sarcasm. I wasn't done crying and cursing my fate for breaking the hell upon me when he sent one of his guards to inform me that my ten minutes are almost over and I need to head back in his office so he can finish the unfinished talk between us.Right now, I am sitting like a rock statue, my eyes glue on the beautiful painting by Vincent Van Gough behind him, it must have cost him a fortune as it looks original. Hunter is also motionless like he already surrendered his weapons.The man clears his throat to gain both of our attention, looking pissed off by our defiance and gesture of disrespect. I can't kneel and kiss his feet if this is his form of respect needs me to do these gestures."Anna, Hunter, now I need to speak to both of you." He says and slide a shiny black folder in front of us with a symb

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. I could see the love she has for me, it was crystal clear but I want her to give her feelings words and voice.After spending another hour with her once the doctors examined her thoroughly to ensure the poison wear off from her body completely. 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. I decide to drop by my apartment to pack a bag with clothes and other necessary things to leave for Japan in next three hours.I texted Brandon and Brady to meet me at my house along with the other trained men who are joining me in this confidential trip to Japan.

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
