Hunter's Revenge 16. Bodyguard
"If you wanted a quickie, all you had to do was ask, firecracker." The man spoke, making me roll my eyes."Why are you here?" I ask, getting straight to the point."The same reason as you, I reckon." He smirks, winking at me. Causing me to roll my eyes at him once again."Why are you following me?" I ask."What makes you assume I'm following you? Just because we're both here doesn't mean I'm following you.""Then why are you here?" I ask, folding my arms over my chest."Isn't it obvious?""Isn't what obvious?" I question back.He begins to step closer to me until my back is up against the door. He leans down and places his head near my neck. I can sense he's about to kiss me, but I don't understand why. I feel him lean into me more. However, I drop down and spin away from him. I twist his arm behind his back, forcing his chest into the tiled wall. "Omph." He remarks."I'll have to admit, firecracker, I never saw that one coming." He remarks. I can sense a smile in his tone. "Why do
Hunter's Revenge 17. Black Dragons
...Hunter POV...I had been in a meeting with the leader of the Black Dragons for well over a few hours now. I had come here in good faith as I propositioned them with a merger of sorts. However, they didn't seem to take too kindly to my terms. I had proposed that they work for me instead, with an 80% profit share. They seemed to be under the impression that they deserved more than a 20% take considering they were the ones doing the work. However, what they failed to realize was that I was being more than generous. Whether they took the deal or not, I didn't care. I was being generous by granting them a 20% take in the business. But if they refused my deal, then they would discover the rath of the Reaper. I'm not one to fool around. If I want something, I take it. If people don't give it to me willingly, I make them live to regret it. I already have a team lined up, ready to attack the Black Dragons if they decline my offer.My phone ringing takes me out of my trance. I look at the di
Hunter's Revenge 18. Shark in the Water
...Ace POV...Ever since I told Hunter about Sienna's real identity, he had become cold and distant. No one seemed to know what the reason was either, which was weird. It was as if he had become an entirely different person. Not that Hunter was super outgoing from the beginning, but he grew a lot worse. Instead of checking up on businesses, he started to send messages. These messages were like his calling cards. Everyone was afraid of the Reaper and terrified even to breathe wrong. Hunter had begun to kill mercilessly. There was no rhyme or reason for who he killed. It was almost like a sport for him. Others had begun to speculate, saying that he was seeking revenge. But no one knew for sure. I overheard Gary and Paul, a couple of our fighters, talking in the practice ring about Hunter's new attitude."Did you hear what happened with the Black Dragons?" Gary asked as they were taking a break. I was in my office located outside of the practice ring. The men quite frequently talked out
Hunter's Revenge 19. Dominance
…Kevin POV…"DAMN IT!" I yelled, tossing the papers from my desk onto the floor. Valerie, my assistant, ran into my office, wondering what was going on."Sir?" Valerie called, walking carefully towards me.I was too frustrated to even speak. I had been counting on this merger to improve our financial situation; however, at the last moment, we were outbid."May I ask what happened?" Valerie asked, reminding me that she was still in the room. I took a deep breath to calm myself before turning around to look at her."The deal fell through.""The deal with Mazari Electronics?""The very one.""What are we going to do?" Valerie asks, causing me to sigh in frustration.Ever since the feud with the Cobras and Stone Enterprises, the Industrial Guild has been hemorrhaging money. Damian and Zayn were aware of our involvement with the Cobras and have been out to get us in any way they can. Since they aren't involved with our line of business, they've been hitting us where it hurts. They've bee
Hunter's Revenge 20. A New Plan
After several more rounds, we all fall back, panting."Well, that was unexpected." Valerie says, ending the silence. "Agreed." Shanyuan remarks, standing up to grab his pants from the floor."However, we need to get down to business." Shanyuan remarks, suddenly turning serious.Val immediately stands up and waltzes in his direction."Sit down and get dressed." Shanyuan commands in a firm tone.It's clear our time of distractions has run out."No more distractions. I'm here for serious matters. Now, you will either listen, or I can go back to the Triad and tell them to remove the Industrial Guild from the Triad effective immediately." Shanyuan remarks, leaving no room for question.Both Valerie and I nod our heads and quickly get dressed.Shanyuan sits at my seat behind my desk as Valerie takes the seat opposite him. I look at him with a raised brow wondering why he's in my chair, when I feel Val tap my leg. I look at her and watch as she signals me to sit down and not make a scene. I
Hunter's Revenge 21. Deceit
...Hunter POV...The time had finally come. Tomás was finally eligible for the surgery. After so many failed attempts, Tomás' doctor suggested that we try using an alternate medication. This medication worked perfectly for his seizures, but not without side effects. Tomás no longer had the energy to do anything. He also didn't have enough stamina to stand for longer than a few minutes. Tomás pretty much slept every day. So long as his surgery went well, Tomás would likely never have to take medication ever again. But most importantly, he could lead a normal life.I waited outside the operating room as the doctors performed the surgery. I had lost track of how much time had gone by. Javier walks towards me with two coffees in hand. He passes me one as I offer him a small smile in reply."¿Cómo estás?" How are you? Javier asks. "Nervioso. ¿Qué pasa si no funciona?" Nervous. What if it doesn't work? I ask."Tonterías. Todo estará bien. Tomás es fuerte." Nonesense. Everything will be ok.
Hunter's Revenge 22. First Attempt
...Three Weeks Ago......Sienna POV...The weekend went by without a hitch. I decided it was best to continue with our original plan. I wanted to see if anyone would notice before I went after our new target- The Nativity. In less than an hour, we would be executing our plan.Adrian had texted us to confirm that everyone had already left the gallery. Since Ace had given back my car keys, I had Rylee take me to pick up my car, where I had abandoned it over a week ago. Thankfully, no one had destroyed it, which was a blessing in disguise, as we would need it for tonight. We got the paintings loaded and made our way to the gallery. I parked the car then Rylee and I went into the gallery. Adrian was already waiting for us by the front door by the time we arrived. We didn't bring anything with us, as I needed to hack into the security system first. Adrian led us to Mark's computer. It didn't take long for me to loop the cameras and deactivate the alarms. Once I was ready to go, I signalle
Hunter's Revenge 23. The Devils
I sigh but nod my head. I just hope they don't try to use this against me."Fine. But please, don't say anything until I finish explaining."I look between the twins, waiting for confirmation that they agree. They both simultaneously nod their heads, allowing me to continue."So, as you already figured out, I'm forging art.""Yes. We gathered that much. But the question we want to know is why? We know it's not about money, as Mom and Dad have way more than enough." Zander cuts in, earning him the stink eye. So much for not cutting in. That lasted an entire two seconds.I raise my brow at him, and as if reading my thoughts, Kieran slaps his twin over the back of his head, earning a small laugh from me."What did she just say?" Kieran snaps at Zander."Sorry." Zander remarks, bowing his head.I roll my eyes but decide to continue regardless. "As I was saying..." I begin, in a clipped tone, focusing on Zander."While I know this may sound absurd, it actually is for the money." I begin t
