Hunter Storm"Hunter, are you alright?" Her soft voice lays it's gentle touch on my simmering anger and I feel my worries vanish away in the air.I tilt my head to glance at her who is blinking her innocent eyes at me in confusion and worry."It's nothing I can handle, kitten. You shouldn't stress yourself for something that doesn't concern us." I tuck on her hand and pull her closer, the uneasy sea waves are touching our feet."But you look tensed. I hardly see you getting stressed for something and it involves a great consequence, right?" She asks, her brows scrunch together."Yeah, you're right but I am not worried at all. It's a part of our world, life threatening dangers always lurks over our head, one mistake and we'd find ourselves six feet under the ground." I stroke her waving hairs back so I can adore her beautiful face in the bright sunlight."Then why don't you give up on such life and life a normal one instead of chasing dangerous criminals and risking your own life for m
Hunter Storm"You sure, we should interrogate him now?" Brandon looks at me eerily."Yes, I want it done today only as we'll be focusing on Liam's escape and your wedding." I answer him flatly as a lot has been going inside my brain."Don't remind me of the wedding thing, Hunter. You're practically binding me with a slut who doesn't hesitate to spread her legs for any rich dick." Brandon scrunches his nose in disgust."Then make sure she spread them only for you after the marriage. Keep her happy sexually and financially and she's all yours." I say as a matter of fact."It's easy for you to say, Hunter. After all you're one of her pussy suiter." He snorts back at me."Then simply call off this marriage, like I did and get rid off her forever." I suggest him but deep down I know that he has hibernated feelings for her and if they try to work on their marriage, they'd eventually fall in love."Let's focus on the current task." He ends the topic."I don't think he will take much time to
Hunter Storm The night rolls in when I get back to the farmhouse. It's not my usual late but for a house with my most precious tressure, located in a remote area is a dangerous gamble that I can't take a chance to play. Though, I ordered Blake to stay here with extra bunch of security, I can't find my heart at peace until I see her safe and unharmed by my own eyes.When I enter inside the house, I hear her musical laughter echoing along with the sound of waves. I decide to tip toe and find the reason of her jolly mood as she has been distraught since my father played us both by shoving a contract on our faces.The sight in front of my eyes makes my heart flutter. There, she's laughing throwing her head back and saying something incoherent to Blake who is also smiling, a sense of jealousy burns my heart as no men other than me can be the reason of her happiness but then my blinded eyes shifts on Roch who is sitting on one of the high stool with a scowl face, I feel some relief."What
Hunter Storm "So, you're actually going to do this for my father and my family?" Anna asks me, I can see many insecurities running behind those mystical eyes as they stare at me with hope swirling in them."Yes, I do. I never goes back from my words, Annabelle." I reply firmly."Don't call me that." She scrunches her nose as she clearly hates her old name but I find it regal and suits her personality."But I love it and you're not a conjuring doll, Anna." I trace her chin with my forefinger and raise her face to match my eyes."But it's scary, I can't forget the haunting memories linked to my old name and now I am officially Anna Harris, my real name." She replies instantly."Though, I love changing your name to Annabelle Harris Storm, I'd not interfare in your personal life and your liberty regarding your name and identity." I close the remaining gap between our bodies. She trembles under my presence and this is the most beautiful sight I behold."May I have my good luck kiss?" I wh
Hunter Storm"They're here, boys take your positions and remember, this is our one and only chance. If we fail, our whole organization will come on the radar of president office and you know what does it mean?" I address my men over the bluetooth for the one last time as the convoy come in our view.The countdown has begun, so our heartbeats accelerate."Boss, the RDX is ready. We'll destroy the bridge when the van will come on the other side of the river. So, the police team won't be able to protect Liam." Blake says."We don't have time for useless talks, Blake. Do as you're told and make sure we get our hands on a safe Liam and Officer Paul. I want them alive." I bark on him."Brother, this plan is suicidal. We can still back out and plan another mission." Brandon says."Just shut up, Brand!" Rochelle slaps him hard on the shoulder," We don't need chickens in our gang. You can go back and hide between Valentina's legs.""Behave!" I warn them and put my thumb on the trigger of my gu
Anna Harris It has been twelve hours since Hunter and other have gone on the mission to save my father from his enemies' vicious clutches. The only image of him getting hurt or even worse dead in police custody shakes my heart but at the same time my heart also feel worried for Hunter.This gamble might risk his own life. Would I be able to forgive myself if something happnes to him because he went on a mission to save my father?Absolutely no!I don't realise when and how Hunter creeps his way to my heart in a less span of time. I don't know if I love him but I am sure that I don't hate him either.I never mattered to someone like Hunter worships me. He adores me and all he wants is to keep me and my loved ones safe but what about him?I clutch my chest as an unsettling feeling brew inside my heart. Something is noticeably off, I know this hollow feeling. It is stupid of me to worry about the one of the trained and dangerous mafia leader's safety but I can help but grow impatient wi
Anna Harris "Anna! You're being mislead by the Storms. I didn't do anything. I am sure he fed you lies about your own family." Dad says or I say trying to cover his own sins."Please stop lying, Dad. I have seen the proofs and nobody has manipulated me. So, don't start with lies. You got this new life because Hunter decided to save you. You should feel grateful than accusing him." I snap at him. My anger is loosing on a thin cord. I love him but I can't stand his sight.He is responsible for Hunter's scarred childhood. He snatched a child's happiness, the only source of affection; his mother from him."Please save it for your dear wife and others who believe in your shits, Dad because I am ruined as the payment of your past crimes. You destoryed Benjamin or your gang and look, who is paying," I point my finger between myself and Aiden." Your own children, us." Tears fill in my eyes."Anna, please give me a chance to explain everything. Nathanial Storm is a vile monster who ditched ou
Hunter Storm It is past four in the morning when I return to the farmhouse, secretly, covered a distance of three miles through the rocky shore just to be sure that I wasn't being followed. Blake had gone through an emergency surgery to stop the bleeding and stitch the internal wounds but he's out of danger for now, that's a relief. I left him under the vigilance of my men to fullfil my promise to Anna.I have to make a safe extraction of her parents before the sunrise and we hardly have one and a half hour to execute final phase of my plan. I walk out of the bushes and Brady's alert gun is what I am greeted by."It's me, Brady." I whisper to him before a commotion breaks out in the silence of my house."Sorry Boss, I thought it was the same creepy animal whose amber eyes frightened me throughout the night." He lowers his gun and wipe the sweat off his forehead causing me to chuckle."The big Brady boy is afaid of a petty animal!" I pat his shoulder."What if it's a jaguar or worse a
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
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. Liam H
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
