Her Bodyguard, His Target 33– Vengance is best served cold
Pedro ran Joe through the etiquettes and rules of being a bodyguard. He taught him everything he needed to know about doing the job in just twenty minutes. Something you would have had to train for one to three months was taught to Joe in twenty minutes. Joe bobbed his head and asked a few questions along the way. Hunter stood against the uniform wardrobe and watched the class unfold. Pedro was seated behind his desk and Joe was on the chair accross from him. “I think we're all done.”“That's all?” Joe asked. “I also think you're a faster learner than Hunter there.” Pedro smiled at Joe. “He told me it took him weeks.”“Well, thank you sir.” Joe was gleaming back as though he was handed a certificate. Hunter shook his head, stepping closer to them. “Whatever... You know it's true.” Joe bragged, turning in his chair to face Hunter.“On a serious note though, you understand exactly how you're supposed to do this job right?” Hunter asked Joe, his face revealing how much he didn't want J

Pressing the gun hard against the side of his leg, Hunter made his way up her driveway. He took the three steps that lead to her porch. He looked back to see if no one was watching him. No one. He looked up at the sky, there were no stars visible just a huge round moon. The whitish grayish of the moon lit up the night sky. It would have been a perfect evening for couples to have a picnic on a mountain somewhere or cuddle on a sofa and watch a romantic movie. But for Hunter, this was a perfect day to murder his childhood psychologist and kill the pain that had been living inside of him ever since his first meeting with her. He stood in front of her white hooden door and tried the door handle slowly and slowly it swung open, allowing him in. As the door swung, it made a creaking sound. Hunter stood by the door and surveyed the room. There was a black cat on her couch and when it saw Hunter it jumped off the couch and raced upstairs. This kind of reminded him of how cartoonists exagger

Hunter looked down at the pool of blood flowing from under Wendy Jackson. He knew that he had to leave her house and fast, but he couldn't move. Even though he had finally ended the life of his childhood molester, he still did not feel any better. He didn't know how long he had stood there watching her still body, the sounds of sirens were what took him out of his fixature. He ran down her stairs and out of her house, leaving it wide open. He got into his car and speeded off...When he parked in front of his house he ran in and locked the door. He hurried to his bathroom and looked himself in the mirror. He was supposed to feel better now that Wendy Jackson was dead, but no, he didn't. Instead, looking at himself now, he didn't know what he felt, just anxiety. He paced in his bathroom and then pulled out his phone. He phoned Rebecca. She didn't answer. He tried again. No answer. And when it went straight to voicemail the third time. He called Joe. Joe answered right away.“Yes?” Joe so

Joe had reclined the car seat way back and was laying and browsing his I*******m. He had been out here for almost two hours waiting on Rebecca to come out. He was bored, tired and starting to feel sleepy. It wouldn't kill to get in a few minutes of sleep before she came back, would it?Hunter and Angelo were parked a few streets from where Joe was. Hunter was sitting in the passenger seat of Zahn's car, watching Zahn devour a Big Mac burger.“Bro,” Zahn spoke with a mouth full of fries. “We've been here for almost an hour. Where's Joe with the girl?”“He's waiting for her. I'm sure they'll be here soon.” Hunter replied. The only thing he had eaten since morning was the waffles he had with Rebecca but somehow he was not hungry. Maybe he would eat something after all of this was over and Rebecca was safely in Point Z.“This is taking forever, man.” Zahn complained.“I know...” Hunter felt even more furious at Rebecca. He just couldn't help wonder why in the world she was taking so long a

When Hunter saw 'Miss Rebecca' as the caller ID on his phone, his heart almost skipped a beat. His thumb hovered over the accept button.“Two simple choices, Hunter. Accept or reject.” Zahn then slurped her milkshake. Hunter turned his phone face down and looked away. “Mind your business.”“Who's it?” “I just said mind your business. Geez.” Hunter could feel his phone stop vibrating and then start again. Why was she calling him while she was in another man's arms anyway?“Accept or reject. Easy.” Zahn told him. “I don't understand people who just let their phone ring. If I don't want to talk to you, I'm gonna reject your call. I don't give a f*ck who you are. In a way, I'm actually being nice because I'm saving your time.”Rebecca was probably calling him now because she had come back to her senses, after sleeping with Carlton, he thought. She felt bad and that's why she was phoning him. If he picked up right now and asked her

Zahn, Joe, Angelo, Nathan and Sean were all looking at Hunter like he was crazy. All except the technician who was trying to tool out the tracker.“What are you looking for?” Zahn was worried to see Hunter so distraught. She came to kneel down next to him and shook him by the shoulder. “Bro, what are you looking for? We need to go.”“I have the tracker!” The technician announced, like he was in a different universe. He immediately passed it to Joe.Joe walked closer to where Hunter was kneeling, watching him stare at the empty bottom of the female bag. “We need to go now before someone sees us, Hunter.” He attempted to speak some sense into him. “We're in the middle of a damn road.”“And remember that they can still see the location of the tracker.” The technician added.“Bro!” Joe said snatching the bag from Hunter. “We need to fucken go. Now!”That's when Hunter looked up at the bag in Joe's hands and saw that it had a pocket on the outside.“Give me the bag.” He snatched it back ind

She followed her helper with her eyes. With the way he walked, it dawned on her that if he had on a suit, he would look exactly like Hunter from behind. She frowned, his eyes were also gray, like Hunter's. Also, she didn't know if it had just been the effect of almost going into a respiratory coma but she was certain she had heard Hunter's voice during her asthmatic episode. She couldn't remember what he said but she had definitely heard his voice. Or at least it sounded like him a little.She watched her helper pull up the garage door and disappear, followed by the man that had been sitting on her left in the car. The two men that remained, had brought out chairs from somewhere behind her, letting it scrape on the cement floor all the way to the garage door where they set camp. The men were deep in their conversation, bad mouthing someone they both did not like. Being ignored, the human instinct to seek freedom came over her. She looked around as far as her neck could go. She s
Last Updated : 2023-12-26Her Bodyguard, His Target 40– Under the moonlight
After Angelo, Sean and Nathan had gone home, the remaining three took over their chairs and sat in a circle near the garage door, playing cards for money.Joe had forced Zahn to open the pack of cards from her car which she actually used as deco. She had two unopened boxes— one red and one blue. In her car, the two boxes were placed side by side in the DIN slot, looking brand new. Apparently that was the whole idea.With Hunter having to whisper whenever he had something to say and unable to shout like Joe and Zahn were occasionally doing, this made the game more enjoyable for Zahn and Joe. But after almost ten rounds and Joe winning most of it, Hunter was ready to quit, saying that they were cheating and taking advantage of the fact that he couldn't speak.They ended the game soon after and had decided that two would keep a look out while one got rest and alternate every four hours. Zahn and Hunter were up first as Joe made it a point that it was only right that they let him sleep fir

"Rebecca?" Elizabeth asked. "Are you okay?" Hunter asked her. She looked mortified but managed to nodd her head. Sylvester took a few steps back and then was caught before he fell backwards. "Sir, are you okay?" One of his men asked him. Sylvester grunted. "I... am shot." He dropped the gun to the floor. The wound was on his left upper arm and was bleeding profusely. Rebecca's palms flung to cover her mouth as she watched the guards rush to provide Sylvester with medical attention. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..." Rebecca was shaking. Hunter came to hug her. "It's okay, you didn't pull the trigger, he did." "But still—" "Let's get out of here." Hunter placed an arm around her and they quickely made for the gate. "Rebecca!" Elizabeth was crying behind them. "Get in, get in." Hunter opened the car door for her and then shut it. He could see cars approaching in high speed. "Shit..." There was only one way out of here, and it was the same way the cars were coming, the othe

Sylvester took out his phone and phoned Angelo. It rang and rang. Sylvester thought it would go to voicemail but then he picked up."Hello?" It was a female."Who is this?""You called me, who are you?""I got this number from the card at the reception. Is this not Angelo's gym?""This is Better Life Gym." She responded."Exactly." Sylvester said. "Can you get Angelo on the phone.""I don't know who that is, sir.""Cut the crap lady. I was there yesterday with Rob Holland, the billionaire. Remember me? And then we went down to basement to Angelo. Can you just pass him the phone.""Would you like to know about our membership packages?""Tell Angelo it's about Hunter King."The lady stayed quiet for a while and then sighed. "Hold on."Music started playing on the other side of the line."Shit..." Sylvester said in annoyance. He watched the guards dragging Hunter to the side building."Hello?" At last it was Angelo."It's Sylvester, head of security for Rob Holland and—""Get to the poin

"I guess there's no talking you out of this?" Joe asked. "Like she said, you're so damn stubborn. Really. Gosh!"They were sitting on the edge of bonnet of Fred's car.Hunter looked off into the pitch dark forest. "I don't have a choice, Joe." He whispered. "Look how we're living. Doing this gets all of you immunity.""Maybe there's another way." He placed a hand on Hunter's shoulder."What way?"Joe stared back at him desperately, the desperation was reflected back. "Uh... I don't know."Hunter's face fell and he looked the other way."But we can work something out together. Let's just tell your dad and I am sure he will work something out.""If he had a sollution, we wouldn't have spent almost a week in this cabin. The guy's been in hiding himself for how many years? From the very same person. It's hopeless Joe.""No—""This is the only way.""Getting yourself killed, really? That's the best you could come up with?" Joe scracthed his head roughly. "Maybe we can get money. Like milli
Her Bodyguard, His Target 68— Almost over
Hunter laid topless on their bed, facing the ceiling. He and Rebecca had just made love and she was now sleeping on top of his chest. "What are you thinking about?" She asked him. He smiled. "Nothing." "You sure?" She looked up at him. "Not thinking about 'sending me back to the palace'?" He frowned and then looked at her. "You were eavesdropping?" "I didn't intent to, but the walls of this cabin aren't that thick. I can hear George snoring right now." "Sorry if it sounded rough." He responded. "Sorry if it looks like I'm getting tired of always being locked up." Hunter scoffed. "Are you being sarcastic?" "Do you remember what you told me while we were still at the warehouse?" "What?" "You said that when everything was over, we'd live a normal life. That you'd stop that work and we'd be together like normal people." "Yeah..." "Well, you left your work, but I just want to know when we will be able to live like normal people again." Hunter sighed. "As soon as your dad pay

"We're not stabbing that man in the back." Rob said as he entered the passenger side of his all black SUV."You know, I don't get it, sir." Sylvester responded. "You're gonna keep choosing Hunter, even if it's over your daughter?" "I am not choosing him over Rebecca, I am trying to protect them both." Rob stood his ground. "Protecting him is not gonna get us far, sir."Rob thought for a few seconds and then responded. "I am not leaving him out to dry. He doesn't deserve it.""He's the reason we're in this mess in the first place. He kidnapped miss Rebecca." Sylvester started the car. "With all due respect, I think you're forgetting that.""You know, you keep saying 'with all due respect' but don't seem to be giving me any. I said we are not turning on Hunter and you should respect that.""My job is to protect your family. I wake up every morning and devote my life to you and your family, sir."Rob sighed and then pinched the space between his eyes and lowered his head. "I know, I kn

"Don't ever look for me because you will never find me. Take care of yours and I will take care of mine. Bye forever." That was the note that had come with the baby.Although George didn't understand the second sentence, he placed the note on their coffee table and took the wailing baby out of Stella's hands. It was his first time carrying a baby, and he feared holding him too tight or not holding him firm enough and drop him. As he tried to craddle the baby, his heart pounded. The baby had light brown skin and not much head hair. His mouth was pink and his wails were woarse."Shh shhh..." George tried walking around the room trying to sooth it. "Is it a boy or a girl?" He asked his mother."It's a boy." George looked at the baby's face and fell in love. "But how could she just leave you like that, little guy?" He asked."Because she's crazy that's why." Stella responded. "She knows you're studying full time and I am working full time. How are we gonna take care
Her Bodyguard, His Target 65– What's a man without a gun
Nathan had his forearms on the bar. "What can I get for you?" Bella said, bringing her arms to the counter, leaving just a small gap between their faces. "Bring me whatever you gonna have." Nathan gave her a smirk and handed her the money. She gave him a flirtatious smile and went away to get him something. When she came back she passed him their strongest whiskey. "Is that all you got for yourself?" He asked her. She raised the shot she had in her other hand. "Unfortunately, I'm on the clock. Cheers." She then drank up and was about to walk away but he grabbed her arm over the counter. "I just have a question." He said. "The girl that was working here before you, Rhita. Do you know where I can find her?" "Stop flirting with the customers and move on, Bella." Her boss yelled from the other side. She rolled her eyes at him. "I am not flirting with nobody!" She yelled back and then turned to Nathan as he let her hand go. "You just said she worked here before me. Don't
Her Bodyguard, His Target 64– Ghost
"It's almost 3 days since that little imbecile screwed us over, finding him can't be that fucking hard." Angelo was addressing Nathan and Sean. "The guy is a ghost, man, no social media, no family we can link him to, no girlfriend, well he took his girlfriend with him..." Nathan responded. "And friends..." Sean added. "Exactly. We can't track his phone because it's not on." Nathan shrugged. "What about his friends' phones?" Angelo enquired. "Joe's phone has been off too. They obviously ditched their phones." Sean said. "And the gay one?" Angelo asked. Nathan and Sean exchanged looks. "We don't have her number, bro." Sean replied. "Yeah." Nathan agreed. Angelo's top lip curved upwards. "You don't have her number? So that's why we don't find Hunter, that's why we just let it go and move on?" "How else are we gonna track her without knowing her number?" Sean asked. Angelo flung the back of his hand against Sean's jaw. Sean tumbled backwards and fell on top of Angelo's glass t
Her Bodyguard, His Target 63– Equals forever
After sitting in silence, Walker began getting up. "You know, you would think that after all these years, talking about this would be easy but..." Hunter watched him slide his hands in his pockets and face away. Hunter didn't pressure him, he sat there waiting for Walker to continue the story. A few seconds later, "My mom convinced me that the best thing to do was to run away. To go live with my aunt in another town until the company considered my request to pay for my accomodation at the student residence." Walker took a long pause. "And I did. I was a scared boy who had just managed to get into his dream school, studying his dream career. "So you did the one thing Delilah said you'd do?" "Although we dated for about 5 years before that, I knew that in the eyes of the law, she was still a minor and I could get locked up if her father reported me. So I left. I didn't tell her anything. I just disappeared. "Living at the student accomodation, was all a 20 year old could ask for.
