Her Bodyguard, His Target 41– Monster
The piercing sound of the gunshot startled Zahn who had started falling asleep on her chair. It even woke Joe up. Realizing that Hunter and the hostage were missing, Joe pulled out his gun, rushing out of the office.“Where's Hunter?”“Last I checked, he took the girl out to go pee in the bushes.”“Shit.” Joe cussed as Zahn pulled out her gun. They both then scurried outside.Fast forward to two nights later...After a couple of deep breaths, Rob Holland knocked and then opened his bedroom door. How ironic, for someone who had been married for 25 years. But after Elizabeth had caught her with Julia two days ago, she had chased him out of their bedroom when he tried to hop in that night. Since then, he had been sleeping in his office. There were other rooms in the mansion where he could have slept comfortably and not missed his own bed but he felt that it was only right for him to sleep on a mattress on his office floor. That way it would mean something to his wife, that he was sorry f

It was just after 8 in the morning when Hunter woke up. He looked through the office window and saw Rebecca sitting up in the bed, her head resting on her knees.Zahn and Joe had watched almost three movies on N*****x in the last 4 hours that they had been keeping watch. Zahn's battery was at 3% and there was still 22 minutes of John Wick: Chapter 4 left.“Shit.” Zahn said pausing the movie. “We're gonna have to finish it tomorrow.”Joe yawned, stretching out his arms and legs as he slouched in the chair. “These damn chairs are so hard. When I go home I'm probably gonna sleep for like 12 hours. Minimum.”Zahn scoffed as Hunter walked out of the office. “You dumbass, 12 hours after you leave this place you're gonna have to come back here and relieve the loansharks.”“Oh shit.” Joe complained as it occured to him. “So for like 6 more days we won't have a life anymore?”“Yeah and guess who else won't have a life after 6 days?” She then gestured to Rebecca. “Literally.”Hunter greeted when

His laugh faded into an egotistic smile. And then it disappeared completely as his eyes moved from her flustered face to her provocative lips. In a way, he felt challenged. He knew very well that he could make her take away everything that she had just told him. He sat forward in his chair and drew out his hand. Of cause she recoiled, but the look in his gray eyes talked to her. This wasn't an act of violence, she could relax. So she allowed it. His hand placement on her neck was like a spell cast. Her brain was telling her to react but the only thing her body sensed was how good it felt under his hand. Her body could only grasp the sentiments his touch sent throughout her whole body.Her eyes were speaking to him too, and it was telling him that she was curious for more.He leaned in and kissed her sensually, as if she belonged to him. Before Rebecca knew it, she had been charmed: she was kissing him back with burning passion. And when she did realize what he had lured her into, she

18h00. Hunter darted at the time on his phone. Rob Holland had not even bothered to call. What kind of father was he, really? Clearly a useless one. As Hunter thought, he fiddled with the pendant of his chain. Whatever Rob Holland was doing to try and gather up the money, he had to do it fast.Hunter's phone began buzzing in his hands.It was his house help, Lolita. “Hello?” He answered.“Yes. Hello, sir.” She responded.She had been working for him ever since he moved out of King's place but this was the first time they were talking on a call. Was something wrong? With her children, perhaps?“Is something wrong, Lolita?”“Uh...” She felt a little embarrassed to lay her case. Hunter had always helped her by paying extra every week for her kids' transport to school. And whenever she had a problem, he was always eager to pull more cash out of his wallet and hand it to her. One time her last born fell sick at school during her work day at Hunter's. When she got the call he was smoking a

“I want to have a sit down.” Hunter said. Hector King looked a bit worried and doubtful, almost as if he would refuse. “About what now?” Hunter could match the change in Hector's attitude towards him over the phone to what he saw now. “I think Angelo needs to go.” Hunter went on. “Angelo?” King's skepticism was very clear now. “Yes. Angelo.” “Angelo as in capo, Angelo? The captain of loan sharks?” King responded in disbelieve. “Yes. Him.” Hunter could see that King wasn't on par with his suggestion. “The guy doesn't obey me. He is arrogant and disrespects me in front of his men and my people.” Hunter explained. “How do I lead with that?” Hector King looked thoughtful. He then leaned forward and placed his forearms on his desk, his hands cupping his whiskey glass. “Well, I think you've just been overdoing it a little.” King said bluntly. Hunter frowned. “What do you mean?” “You put his little soldier on top of the man, it doesn't work like that. “And you don't want the men

Hunter checked the envelope and saw two small photos. He wore a permanent frown as he held the two pictures, one in each hand. He looked from the one to the other. The one picture had the same picture of the moustache guy that he had received while he was at the mansion and a few days ago when he was with Rebecca in his house. He turned the photo and saw the familiar print: George. The other photo had a new face... and then it hit him— this was the man he met last night. He looked behind that photo and saw the word ‘Walker’. That's what he had said his name was, Walker. As Hunter looked from the black and white photo of George to the color photo of Walker, he could clearly see that they were the same person. He was just younger and old-fashioned in the black and white picture. The color picture was obviously a recent picture where he had gotten rid of the Pakistan moustache. Hunter shook his head quickly and turned to the A4 letter, ‘I am sorry. Dad.’. ‘I am sorry. Dad.’ Hunter

If this situation was as messed up as it seemed, then Hunter knew that not phoning King was the best thing he could do. It still didn't make any sense for King to murder the father and then take in the son. You'd have to be a real psychopath to do that. But Hunter believed in King. He had raised him as his own, never ever treated him like an outsider. For the rest of the day Hunter tried blocking out those thoughts. He tried to go about his day as he would if it was any other normal day. But if it wasn't George Walker and his theory he was thinking about, it was Rebecca Holland. Wondering how Angelo and Nathan were treating her. Did they buy her any food this morning? He pulled out his phone and went on UberEats. He came across some waffle restaurant on the app and checked their menu. Rebecca really enjoyed those waffles the other day, he thought. Maybe he should order her some, with an orange juice. He did just that. As he was waiting for the delivery, he took a shower and dre

Hunter shook his head after Lolita ran back into the bathroom. “It's okay. She won't tell anyone.” After a while he took Rebecca's hands in his. “I'm sorry that you had to spend the whole night in your chair.” His look was so deep yet gentle. It brushed over her features desirably, making her feel his musculinity. “I would cut you loose and let you stretch your legs but Joe and Zahn are on their way.” His voice snapped her out of her thoughts. She nodded sheepishly, only for the realization to hit her a few seconds later. “You know, all this is crazy.” She scoffed sadly. “I still can't believe it. Like am I really in love with my kidnapper?” He gave her a sad smile, maintained eye contact and then got up and pushed the chair away. His life was a mess! Joe and Zahn soon arrived but Hunter sent them out again to buy dinner for all of them. “Could have just told us when we were on the way.” Zahn had sucked her teeth and complained. When they left, he cut the cable ties around Re

"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

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

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.
