Hunted By The Player New Year,No Old Fuss
“Hunter Blanco.” I shake his hand. I turn to face Selena. “Shall we take a drive?” Why won’t she look at me?“Yes.” She gives just one nod. “Thank you for accompanying me here,” she tells the dancer.“Just don't spoil anything.” I look at him and lead Selena to the car. What is that son of a bitch doing here?I start the car and notice that Selena is tense beside me. I drive until I reach the outskirts of the city, where you can park your car to admire the jetty and the beach.“Thanks for message,” I say when I turn off the car and she shifts uncomfortably, irritated, angry, confused.“Glad you liked it.” She offers a nervous smile.“Selena, I missed you so much I...” I put my hand on the side of her waist. Huh? I move my hand to the top of her stomach. “What is this?” I gasp when I feel the bulge. Am I actually dreaming or is this really happening?“I-I was going to tell you...” she tries to speak.“Tell me what?” I demand, trying not to snarl.“Just don't scream.” She squints at me.

Moments before...I tilt my head and stare at the magazine with the scene of the rented house in Barcelona where Hunter looked at me with passion. I feel a pang because I miss my blue-eyed man.I zap the TV schedule and see the scene of a romantic dream being cut in half and instantly my desire for a dream is kindled inside me.“Surprises, why do you do this to Mom?” I speak once more to my children.I zap a few more channels and stop on the topic of why the Spanish team have lost to such an ugly score, blaming Hunter as if he were the only one on a team with more than twenty players, coaching staff and directors. Ridiculous people!I realize that I won't be able to fool my little surprises and I put on my big coat to go out so that no one is speculating my pregnancy. I grab my inseparable bonnet since I've been colder than usual lately.I arrive at the bakery and go straight to the sweets section. Finding my long-awaited dream of cream, I order two right away.“And she’s alive.” I'm

“Mom, he was here,” I cry, still lying down with my back to the door. “I screwed up again, Mom. I didn't want to hurt him but as always, I screwed it up.” I sniffle. “When will I stop hurting people?”I feel a weight as my bed sinks and strong arms hug me from behind.“You didn't mess anything up.” The deep voice makes me shiver and scares me at the same time.“Hunter?” I speak, not believing. “How... how...”“Shh.”“I... How...” My head is boiling so much that I can’t finish a sentence and the crying again ignites. I am mortified to cry like a little girl in front of Hunter.“Calm down, I'm here.” His voice is like a whisper.I arch my back in pain.“Ouch ouch ouch Hunter!” I exclaim, panting as something hot drips onto the mattress.“Selena!” He releases, exasperated to see blood on the mattress.Oh shit, not again... My little surprises!“Grab a towel from the bathroom and my bag from behind the door,” I order.I hear Hunter crashing through the still unknown house. I get up slow

I wake up after another long nap. As the pilot had warned, within twenty minutes we will be landing on Spanish soil once more. I peer sleepily out the window, seeing numerous clouds. I feel uncomfortable with the seat belt squeezing my bladder, and I will be relieved when I can finally unbuckle it.My mother postponed the invitation to come with us on the same flight. She and Miguel— who will be on vacation— will arrive in a week together with Dr. Milton and his wife. Everything has been paid for by Hunter, without the slightest hesitation. I manage to convince my father to come to Barcelona, even reluctantly.Hunter and I talked but we haven't had "the conversation". For almost two days I can’t believe he was crossing my street to meet me and that was how he finally found out I was pregnant. But here now, with him holding my hand like a teenage couple, everything has been an absolute dream.“Mr. Blanco, the arrival’s area for foreigners requests your presence,” the commander formal

I am dizzy from all the phone calls I made during the day. Valentina, Joanna, Sophia, Alice and Stella have spent hours talking to me on the phone, congratulating me. I am very surprised by Stella who had already sent me three yellow balloons at Hunter's house two hours earlier with a very cute card.Hunter and I have continued in an almost non-communicative relationship since our argument yesterday.The news that I will only have three more months in Spain takes me completely by surprise, and at a time when I thought everything was going to start to change. Never in my life do I remember getting a student visa and that I needed to change it. Damn the accident...I stay in the living room reading a magazine and listening to Hunter talking to another person, interested in purchasing the house, since in a few weeks he will have to move.“How are you?” He sits beside me.“The same?” I look at him who is nodding his head.“I'm sorry,” he says. I open my mouth but stop from saying anything

Thankfully, today I wake up much better, as yesterday my back was stiff from so much pain. The medications aren't working as I expected so I try to keep myself busy with enough tasks to distract myself.Sophia arrived two hours ago and for the first two hours she's been putting her mouth on me for not telling her about the pregnancy and how much she was hurt and of what a liar I am and all the pure drama involving her and now she is laughing at me. I can't stop analyzing the diamond ring on her ring finger.“Stop laughing,” I speak, putting my swollen feet up on the bed.“You are crazy,” she says, lounging in the corner.“It's complicated Sophia, everything is very complicated.” I lightly massage my tummy, a little bigger than a basketball.“Being a mother must be complicated.” She fiddles with her fingers as if guilty of something.“I don't know and now I'm going to be a mother of three.” I tilt my head. “What is it, Sophia?”She clears her throat. “I'm pregnant.”“My God, Sophia!” I

I look at everyone at the table, reading their expressions.“With orange juice, my daughter?” Marcus wonders aloud, but he’s in a good mood.“Yes Father, it will have to be with juice. I can't drink alcohol anymore because I'm pregnant.” She smiles from ear to ear.Luana is startled beforehand but soon becomes teary-eyed. I hug Fernando, congratulating him on the wedding and the baby. I order him to take care of Sophia like no one else has ever done and he promises me he will.If everyone is happy and euphoric with the sudden growth of the family, Hunter is tense in his chair opposite of me. I can see him flexing his jaw tightly every time Sophia laughs and I wonder why his mind has wandered so far.Maria appears with a white bag with a sky-blue dots as a print. I read the note it comes with."Congratulations to the most beautiful mommy in the world. Your friend, Alice."Inside are three little white Converse shoes that would fit well on a boy or a girl. I definitely have the best peo
Last Updated : 2023-03-26Hunted By The Player It finally happens
I'm an idiot.A tremendously selfish and genuinely dumb idiot.I look at the pool in front of me. The sunlight reflects across its crystal-clear water. I stand at the edge, reflecting as a person who has no notion of his actions. I try to think about what I did.I accepted the request. I selfishly accepted the request and felt like the most complete person in the world. I continue to watch the water with the filter jets running and thin about Hunter's words hanging over my head last night.14 hours ago..."Hunter!” I squeal, covering my mouth as I view the lantern-like lights around us.“It took me too long to do this.” He glances at me nervously. “Sorry for being the biggest asshole in the world and not having seen what you really wanted. Or actually, deserved.” I swallow hard feeling, my heart stop. “I can't spend a second longer away from you; I want you at all times of life and maybe even later.” With that he gives a disgruntled helpless smile.“Hunter, you don’t need...”“I alway

Hunted By The Player Epilogue
One year later...You've been married for just over a year, and your children will complete one year. How has your life changed from then?I fiddle with my fingers that are resting on my now finely crossed legs.“I discovered myself as a woman,” I answer, facing Alice as she interviews me. “I found that I can really take care of someone, since I didn't even know how to take care of myself. And now I take care of four!”“How is the atmosphere in your house with your children?”I smile. “My house is the biggest mess ever. It's a minefield of toys everywhere. Every time I get home, my kids start waving their arms frantically and laughing nonstop to see me.”“And your husband, Hunter Blanco, is at home with his children?”I look at the camera nervously photographing me and then back at Alice.“He is an amazing father, and whenever he can, he is with his children and family.” I end it there and Alice tilts her head and looks at me.“Selena!” she scolds me. “This is a personal interview, so
Hunted By The Player Our love
I let him enter the dimly lit room. The quiet and peaceful environment, together with the image of Hunter kissing our children's foreheads, fascinates me. He cares about them fifteen thousand times more than he cares about me. Before, I didn't understand the reason for this exaggeration, but now I would watch over them as they sleep twenty-four hours a day if I could.“How did they spend these last few days?”My heart sinks, remembering. It’s been five days since we've seen each other, way too long!“The pediatrician said that Valeria should start taking half a dose of the medication,” I inform and he sighs. “The boys are missing iron. Did you see the size of Pedro's fat little hand and Liam's thick thigh?” I say, laughing.“There was no way not to notice it, it makes you want to bite it.”I feel like crying to see him so happy. I want to hug him and hold him so much that I have to hold back. I need him to keep me strong, and I like it better when I have more time, but now it doesn't

I smooth out my suit, ready to get off the plane. I become twice as nervous.I'm coming back from Germany after another game for the Champions League*. It was quite a game. I’m bringing another victory and two more goals in my career. Today I feel like no one can beat me. Nobody can beat me as the best player, as the best husband and as the best father, and that's why I feel powerful, having my family around.I quicken my pace, leaving my team behind. I hear protests, but I don't give a damn. I'm missing my family. It’s been two months since my two little surprises have been at home with my little princess ValeriaI get into my custom bla

I try to get comfortable in my hospital bed, but it's impossible. My stitches are sore, and my belly never seems to want to deflate. I want my tiny waist back and not get saggy!My two boys have just had their last hospital feed as tomorrow we are finally going home. After almost four days, we can go to our new house which I still haven't seen after the last details of the renovation. The hard part will be leaving my little one with the pink bow in her hair at the hospital. It won't be easy. After all, I have to feed three babies, and one of them will be far from me in that damn incubator.Hunter is hesitant after I mention Christiano's name, constantly dodging the conversation. Still, every time I look at him, I see his watery eyes for our daughter, who hasn't shown any improvement. I can't hide my crying spells. After all, I want my family back home and healthy. I can't believe that as soon as he learned more about the subject, he didn't think straight about his brother, who is too
Hunted By The Player Your brother
“We have tested everyone in our family,” Hunter takes the lead. “Even Alice, Joanna, Stella, Fernando and Sophia volunteered. I realised that Sophia was on the list since she is not your blood sister. But none of them are a match,” he says, unsatisfied.I spend more time with my daughter, my beautiful little princess with blue eyes. She swallows stiffly every time she moves inside that warm bubble. She is so small, so white and almost bald.I head back to the bedroom, and soon they bring me my two boys. When I hold them one by one in my lap, already lying on the gurney, I almost fear I am going to drop them. Like their sister, they are so tiny, also white and bald. I can barely distinguish them from one another.First, I cuddle Pedro, who keeps moving his hands and making faces. And then it is Liam's turn, who keeps wiggling and blinking lazily. So beautiful.For the first time, I am going to breastfeed my children. The nurses watch me all the time to see if I am doing it wrong. And f
Hunted By The Player Baby boom
Life is sometimes so unfair but objectively correct. There are no pains that cannot be healed, no bonds that cannot be joined, people that do not come back—the concept of life and death. Widely known as the eminent pain after a person, who is deliberately said to set out on a better journey. Maybe not. Since no one has yet discovered what occurs after death, there are only scientific and religious theories to go by.I can say that experiencing death is neither painful nor sad. I don't feel like running out of the light and back to life. Peace. Perhaps the peace that everyone seeks is not in life itself. Never, ever, no matter how hard you try, you will never have any rest. As much as something is resolved well, another factor comes and shakes everything again. That may be the meaning of life. It’s not just you opening your eyes and feeling that your heart is still beating. It's a vicious cycle, where love and disagreement will always be present as a challenge, a challenge you face eve
Hunted By The Player Life isn’t fair!
I feel my eyelids getting heavier. It's too hard to keep my eyes alert. The doctors and nurses keep encouraging me to stay awake as I drift off. Sleeping at a time like this would complicate their work much more.They get to work with the scalpel. A rush takes place behind the door, and I am aware of what is happening. Hunter, my Hunter is in sterilised blue suits to match his blue eyes.My head starts to ache, and I close my eyes due to the sudden pain."Our first appearance together. There will be a lot of people.“If you get nervous and want to leave that's fine.""Let's see you soon, my beautiful. Just don't forget what we had together."More pressure in my head settles, and every time I open my eyes and blink, there’s a flash of memory.“I promise to never forget you,” I speak hoarsely, repeating what I told him on the day of the benefit ball.He takes my hand, and we both cry, and then he understands everything. Despite the rush to move my belly that occurs around us, we are obl

SelenaAfter our last fight at the end of last month it is like a burst of guilt. Guilt is now stuck between us and our relationship. He for talking to me about pessimism, and I admit that I'm pessimistic, but I didn't say that, and that's precisely my percentage of the blame.Despite what the doctor said, I was determined to fight the obvious consequence at all odds. I had to be positive, believe there was a calming light at the end of a tunnel, that it wasn’t a train which will crush me under it’s wheels of destiny.Snap! Someone makes a click with their fingers to bring me back to reality.“Stop thinking so much!” It was Sophia, my best friend soulmate.“I think the third baby's name is Theo,” I tell Sophia as she came to me to confirm that she chose her baby's name too. “And we'll have one more family man.”When we speak together, the same name is spelt out in our voices, making us laugh like crazy until she says I could put it on the third baby since I'm going to win first.
