Hunter Storm "I don't think he'd make it to New York, Hunter, just look at his bleeding." Roch shakes her head turning it on the opposite direction as she hates the scene of blood. "He won't die by only two bullets in his legs, Roch." Brandon replies but my eyes are zeroed on his lifeless face which is turning white since he's unconscious for almost three hours. He needs urgent medical attention and I'm going to give him the best I can. I want him alive. So, I can torture him again. "It's a matter of a couple of hours more including our car ride back to the infirmary at our old residence." Brandon says handing me a glass of scotch. "Take it, Hunter. You really look like a shit." He comments but I don't respond. The killer of my mother is laying in front of my eyes and as much as I want him dead, I can't kill him yet. "I hope Daniel would tell him master how we broke into their house, hold him captive and abducted his old master right under their noses." Rochelle says. "We need t
Anna Harris I don't know how to describe this feeling at the bottom of my heart. I can't have peace since Hunter left for a risky mission, if something goes wrong, he'd be back in a body bag or worse never comes back. All the moments I spent with him this far keeps replaying in my mind. I couldn't able to focus on my designs. I am supposed to finish them in a couple of days as on Monday, I have to be present at the workshop. The clock strikes 11:45 in the night. Hunter promises to come back by tomorrow. So, there's no need for me to stay awake and wait uselessly but how would I sleep without him. He has become my personal cuddly bear for last few days and without him, my bed feels cold. Thinking of new life and the challenges I'm facing to get acquainted with it, no matter how much I try, I find myself questioning my own decision. Am I ready to spend my rest of life worrying for Hunter's life? I don't find the answer. Neither I can accept him lifestyle nor I want to stay away fro
Hunter Storm I take a deep breath, fighting the urge to behead Brandon and the other men in whose watch I left my biggest bait and they failed me in a hazardous way. I never feel this way before, not having a clue of what to do next. "I am sorry, Hunter." Brandon's regretful voice adds more fuel to the fire. "I don't want your fucking apology, Brand!" I yell at him and punch the wall to vent out my anger on the non living object because right now, I am in a mood to kill anyone who dares to come across me. He looks down in shame. "Take a few pictures of the dead body and then dump it in the middle of the ocean in a concrete coffin, make sure, you don't get in the police's way." I order Brady and giving a last glance at my mother's killer who didn't give me the satisfaction to kill him with my own hands. He must be very happy when he ended his life. "Yes, Boss." He nods and instructs the other men to arrange a safe evacuation of the body from the infirmary. "We're going to see
Anna Harris "Where have you been, Hunter?" I ask the man who came home drunk and hardly keeping his eyes open, dangled on the living sofa. The strong stench of alcohol causes bile to rise in my throat but I try my best to control it as Hunter needs me right now. He looks wasted and hurt emotionally. "Hunter, wake up. You need to sober up." I pat his cheek but all I receive is a slurry reply from him which hardly make any sense to me. "Hunter..." I use softer tone this time. His green eyes depict the pain in his heart. "Why did he..do this..to me?" He murmurs before he completely passed out. I sigh in defeat. Rubbing my aching temples, I get up on my feet to bring a blanket for him but then something popped up in my mind and instead of fetching a blanket, I make my way to the guards who has concern laced on their faces but due to their bound to only guard the house, they hadn't said anything. "Umm..would you help me to take him to my room?" I ask them not being sure what answer
Anna Harris I found the spot next to me empty when I woke up late in the morning. The scenes from last night replay in my mind not because we had wild sex but his distant behavior. He looked totally lost even if I did my best to lift up his guards, he's broken beyond repair. Each muscle in my body pain horribly but I did my morning chores quickly and collect my required stuffs to finish the last design for my portfolio as tomorrow, I am going to step in a new phase of my life, the LV workshop. I and Hunter haven't talked about it since he handed me the letter of invitation and looking at the current circumstances, I must ask him again whether it's safe for me to start my workshop or postpone my dreams for a temporary, indefinite timeline. "Wow! These designs are incredible." Rochelle's exclamation brings a smile on my face. "I don't think so, I mean I worked on this dress multiple times but I am not getting the satisfaction. I feel there's something I'm missing." I point at a red b
Anna Harris The sheets beside me looks barely wrinkled which means Hunter didn't come to his room last night or he didn't return home at all. The oddly feeling of him being in a trouble settles deep in my heart. I hardly slept last night after the threat call from Benjamin. I tried calling Hunter after that but his phone was continuously switched off, I waited for him until eleven in the night and retired to my room only when I lost all hopes of seeing him. Throwing the blanket off my body, I rub my burning eyes to get rid off the exhaustion and rush to bathroom to do my morning chores before trying to reach Hunter. I need to tell him about this as soon as possible. I can't hide this important detail from him. I brush my teeth and take a quick shower before heading in the direction of kitchen where I find Hunter facing his back to me, he's fetching coffee. "Hunter..."I whisper his name which was enough for him to turn his face to me. "Hey, good morning." He greets me with a smile
Anna Harris"Just do it, Anna if you're ready or we can wait. I'll put your phone on tap to locate him. I want to be extra sure if things go south. I can't take any chance with your safety." Hunter says."I'll be fine, Hunter and it just a phone call, okay." I assure him.He drags his chair closer to me and holds my hands," Anna, I am already feeling terrible to put you in this situation. Please, don't take anything lightly in your over confidence. People do make mistakes in their overly confident attitude and end up dead. Benjamin is smarter than our imagination, I'd give him the credit. We'd be fortunate if he doesn't sniff our plan to trap him. I am afraid, Anna. I can't picture you dead. " He grimace, the same visible in his eyes."Says the man who is fearless and never hesitate to face bullets." I roll my eyes on him, he's acting like a mother hen since I told him about the phone call."You must be on active hypersensitive mode if you are living in the mafia world, Anna, one of
Anna Harris With my brain throbbing and my heart pounding erratically, I begin to stroll lazily in the park which is packed with people of different age, that's a relief for sure as a man like Benjamin who also has a public image, wouldn't try anything stupid to sabotage his own game.My mind is clouded with doubts as my gaze shifts on a particular turquoise blue car parked on a distance.Hunter is keeping an eye on me from a distance but him being away from me is a drawback for me. I feel confident in his presence but without him, I find myself confused and nervous.I find a vacant bench under a tree from where I can watch the chidlren playing with their parents or among themselves, couples of every age group, people from different culture enjoying the zest of their lives whereas I am risking my life for someone else's enmity.Sometimes, I just wish I could escape somewhere, away from my present and the ghosts of the past."May I sit here?"The familiar voice in my vicinity breaks t
