Hunter's p.o.v.
I stepped into the office with practical everyone in there greeting their good mornings and giving me eyes of pity. Not surprised that they had heard the news too, the media didn't really give enough options to hide it.
Yeah, my dad had forgotten to call in telling everyone to take the week off. So I had to do it personally today.
Most had shown concern for the whereabouts of Iris, I easily told them that she was alright. Although hiding the part where she had quit her job.
Hunter's p.o.v." You seem scared to see me, what's the matter?" Her voice came out mockingly as she took the same position Chance had before he left." Diane what do you want?" I gritted out and prayed she had plans of leaving soon.Who's Diane? Well, how exactly am I going to explain this?Diane is Soldo's first and only child. And apparently my first girlfriend too.Back then we always went on deliveries together, giving us enough room for anything other than delivery.She was my first everything.. from kisses to first sex. And apparently it was vice versa.How Diane and I lost contact with each other? When I was in ninth grade , Diane had to go for a delivery alone cause I had a test to prepare for. Sadly the operation got intercepted by the police a
Third person p.o.v.Louie sat in the corner of the room, softly crying as she had been since yesterday. Her eyes were already puffy and reddened and her frail figure if possible, looked a lot more tinier than she had been two nights ago. She had deliberately refused to eat anything and it was slowly riling Santiago up. If she died of hunger in his arms not only would Soldo have his head but he would never forgive himself." You know... if you had a little something to eat, you might just fall asleep " He tried another tactic in wooing her into feeding. Santiago had sat on the floor a few feet from where Louisa had crouched herself and he watched her. He had assumed that leveling his height with hers would make himself seem a lot less intimidating, probably assuming that it was his size that frightens her. But it didn't work. She hadn't put any
Iris's p.o.v. After my conversation with Hunter's mom, her mood was severely dulled and soon enough our little hangout became awkward and we were already packing up to get home. On our silent walk back, Hunters mom's phone began buzzing and the moment she pulled it out of her purse, a smile fell on her lips." Been a really long time hun" she spoke into the receiver as we kept on going. I for one held my unfinished coffee in my hand and was slowly sipping on it.Her conversation was simply going on with a lot of 'oh' 'yeah' 'uhun' I think I heard some other sentences in between but I wasn't really paying attention." She's here with me" she said and I had no doubt that she was referring to me, so her conversation suddenly piqued my interest." Here, it's Phoebe " sh
An explanation to Hunter's mom's behavior in the previous chapter:Mrs McConnell was a woman who spent virtually almost half of her life training her son(Hunter), only to wake up one morning to hear that he was a bully and a rapist.No normal parent would believe such information immediately. Iris's parents worked for her, she had a part ownership with the school Iris had attended, yet not once did the news of her son bullying Iris come to her hearing.She wasn't trying to call Iris a liar but she's trying to get reasons why she should lose confidence in her own son ( typical reason why she was so questionable about Iris's own parents. No parent would have done what they did if Iris was truly going through pain) This explanation may not be enough to some of you but I'm simply trying to clear out any air of Mrs McConnell looking like she's tryna blame someone el
Hunter's p.o.v.' you have reached The Reid's voicemail, please leave a message after the b-'I put off the call before I was given the chance to record the message. Don't get me wrong, sure the message I've got to deliver is important but the problem with voicemails is that it's a hundred percent traceable to its source.And with my latest discovery on how my tails being watched, I can't risk it.Heavens know that the moment I lay my hands on whosoever is the snitch in our home, I'm gonna personally behead them.I dial Mr Reid's number one more time and I listened to it ring.." come on... come onnnn....." the words came out like a mantra as I used my left hand to control the steering wheel while the other held the phone to my ear.' you have reached The Reid's voicemail, pl-'"Arrghhh!!" I
Hunter's p.o.v.Mr Reid was taking a lot more time than he had said he would. He was already here earlier when he had collected the tube containing Louisa's blood and left the room. It was already fifteen minutes past nine am but our meeting was scheduled for eight thirty. Apparently, he's forty five minutes late. So you can guess, forty five minutes of my mind wandering and making impossible guesses on what exactly was going on with Louisa. None of the images were pretty. I couldn't even have a seat, the rate of my blood pressure can cause a pop of my aorta if cause even the slightest obstruction of blood flow. No one had said a word to me this morning before I had stepped out, except Claudette who had offered that I at least have breakfast. Every other person looked at me like I was in possession of the devils trident. So
Third person P. O. VThe weather outside was a little too dull and mostly cloudy. Louie sat by the window and stared at the endless array of trees that surrounded the house she had found herself in, slowly and silently crying to herself again. She was all alone in the room as Santiago had stepped out a few minutes ago to get who'd shower her and at least buy her lunch. To him soldo was behaving a little too rash by leaving a frail looking five year old hungry for over six hours. But Louisa never complained. All she'd do is cry. Well she's been crying, what exactly do you expect a kidnapped child to do? As Santiago walked down the hallway to get her something from the kitchen, he mistakenly bumped into Ferreti. " Someone looks depressed" Her native Italian accent crawled into his ears. Santiago only l
Hunter's P. O. V. "Wait. What do you mean by Pedro is the man after my life and how in the world is he Meredith's father, it doesn't make any sense! " I exclaimed, trying to keep my cool was failing woefully because with my heart rate, I should be suffering from a cardiac arrest in T minus five. " Deep breaths Hunter, I'm gonna explain it all to you but you need to take a deep breath. We can't have you dying before You even get the chance to save Louisa" Mr Reid stated ever so calmly with his eyes focused on me. But I adhered to his instruction. A deep breath could be the only solution to my state of mind. After inhaling and obviously exhaling, Mr Reid took it as a sign to carry on. "Pedro Ha'adith Gonzalez. A man of Brazilian, Arabian and Spanish origin. I think his roots are enough to trace how deadly he can be. Most young people join the clan today without k

FINALLY!!The BULLIED series has come to an end.I want to thank all those who supported me throughout this book and waited till the end… I love you all so much.I always said “I would never support rape” and this is me still saying that I do not support it.I had an idea and a plot, I was inspired by an article I found on Stockholm syndrome… that was why I found the Book 1 necessary to be written, so you can see the back story.I also added other character lives because I would love to be doing spin offs and I wouldn’t want to begin it with back stories of characters you already knew.I was really young when I started this book, with a lot of ideas for it but so little skill hence I wasn’t able to describe some scenes or emotions the way I had it in my head but this only goes to say I would be editing this book from the beginning.I actually thought it was a good idea to not write the main concep
Iris p.o.v.Blankness…That was all I could use to describe what I was feeling at this point.Cause no nouns, no adjectives nor verb could describe what was going on with me.Not just with me, but with everyone else.The entire room was silent while the Judge prepared his verdict in the back room, the only voices you could hear was the muttering of a policewoman to Dylan trying to congratulate him with her words.“You did the right thing.”Her words sounded more like a consolation than an appraisal.Everyone knew it was the right thing, so why did it feel so wrong to me? Its been years and I never thought a day like this would actually ever come.Flashbacks from nights before kept re-occurring in my head, like possibly it was all a dream and someone would come wake me to ask “Are you okay?”But it seemed like everyone was also lost in the dream, in
There was a gunshot in the air and soon enough everyone ran in haphazard directions to cover for safety.“Othniel!? Othniell!?” Meredith yelled out as she tried to take cover also.She crouched behind a shelf and was muttering silent prayers for the sake of her life and her safety. It wasn’t quite long before she felt a hand on her left shoulder and she jumped in fright but calmed her nerves after she saw it was the driver she had been looking for.“What’s going on? How do we get out of here???” she asked as her lips and arms were trembling.Othniel placed a finger on his lips and whispered a littleshhh“follow me”At first, she wondered where he thought he was headed but she wasn’t given enough time to wonder as he pulled her to her feet and ran into one of the dressing rooms.The moment they were in, he jammed the door shut behind them and began searching the entire
Hunter’s p.o.v.“Go check, it might be your reservation customer.” Mrs. Hao said as she looked to Hunter with and eye signal that read,I got this.They were currently trying to discover if they could fish out Claudette’s relatives with her pictures, details or anything else.They just wanted to discover if she could be tracked by any means.“The weirdo?” Tai asked, sipping a bottle of water to refresh herself as she had also had a long day in the café.“Yeah.” He replied her with a disturbed look on his face.This was far more important to him than serving a customer coffee for a date but he had to obey instructions.He picked up his apron from the side stool where he had abandoned it some minutes ago and went back into the restaurant.The fact the entire room looked slightly empty brought a relief to his mind.‘we&r
This was Santiago’s second day of following them and he feels now is the best time to bring in their daughter back to her parents but he wanted to stay a bit longer to know when they would be leaving the shop.The noon sunlight was a bit harsh to his skin and it prickled at his hair follicles but he bore it in good fate because inside the café was always cool so the discomfort was only temporary.Yesterday he wasn’t sure if it was disguise or adjustment to suit the plan but he never understood why Hunter served at the restaurant. It confused him.Hunter might not recognize who he was, after all he was recruited a year or two after Hunter had left… he wasn’t so sure.But he definitely knew who Hunter was, there wasn’t a person on the team who didn’t.One of Soldo’s favorite recruits that backstabbed him. That’s what they were all told that suited his description.They were all warned not
Mrs. Hao watched as anger rolled off his shoulders and she couldn’t help but laugh a little bit at his reactions.“You’re supposed to be in the back with the rest of the team.” She says to him with a smile on her lips as he jerks his head in her direction.“Yeah… I decided to give them some space to work on it.”There was a team of trackers that Mrs. Hao had brought in during the wee hours of the morning to help out with Hunter’s request.And so far, he had seen, they were amazing.“Or you decided to watch your girlfriend, which?” she said again with her smile growing wider.Hunter couldn’t help the grunt that escaped his lips when she made that statement.“She’s not my girlfriend.” He retorted and pretended to be wiping the table while stealing glances at Iris and her new friend.“I suspected; you guys have barely said a word to each oth
He folded the blankets with his sleepy eyes and an unusual ache in his back.The ache didn’t surprise him, what else was he to expect from sleeping on a solid not-so comfortable couch all night.Iris took the room and he decided to sleep in the living room. It was either that or the floor of the room anyways so he really didn’t have much of a choice.He had a meeting with Mrs. Hao this morning. What he needed was a shower and a little breakfast which he presumed he can get at the café also.He arched his back a bit to know if he could get a crack that might release the ache but it was to no avail, so he just went ahead with his daily schedule.The door to the room was closed and he tried knocking to know if she was already up but not properly dressed or if she was sleeping.After the third knock, he heard her say‘its open’from the inside. Only then did he open the door.As he guessed
Hunter knew he had struck a nerve from her reaction when he stated his request all he wanted was her response.And assistance.“I don’t know what you’re talking about” she whispered with a tight smile, most likely trying not to make it obvious to any onlookers that she was in an uncomfortable conversation.“I was sent by Mr. Reid; I need your help.” He whispered back to her.She stared at him for a few seconds with narrow eyes and tight lips as she was trying to decipher if she should believe him or not.“Who are you?” she asked.Hunter remembered when Mr. Reid had informed him that this question was almost inevitable from her, and each party she worked with had a code answer to the question.“I am blue.”She eyes moved frantically around the café to be sure no one was observing nor approaching.“Ahh, Mr. Huong. The regular?”The greeti
