Hunter's Revenge 27. Heads Will Roll
...Hunter POV...I hung up the phone on Ace as I started to question why Sienna had shown up all of a sudden. Was she looking for me? Or was she just looking for trouble? How did she even get into the club in the first place? Ever since her first appearance, I had increased security, making it impossible for anyone to enter the premise I hadn't approved of first. Any unknown people were immediately turned away. That even included significant others or dates of those that regularly frequented the club. So if she managed to get in unseen, she must've found another way in. I sat in silence as I pondered that idea for a moment. Javier knocking on my door took me out of my thoughts."¿Que es, Gonzalez?" What is it, Gonzalez? I asked."Pensé que podría estar interesado en esto." I thought you might be interested in this. Javier remarks, handing me a tablet.I furrow my brows but reach out for the tablet. It seems to be a digital newspaper about a famous painting. "¿Qué significa esto?" Wh
Hunter's Revenge 28. Feelings
...Hunter POV...Javier left my office as my phone began to ring once more. I look at the caller ID and immediately frown as I see Ace's number appear. I roll my eyes and huff in annoyance before accepting his call."You better have good news." I state, getting straight to the point. "Well, it's not all bad news. He remarks. I sigh into the phone, mentally preparing myself for what I'm about to hear."I hope for your sake that you're not calling because she's hurt." I state matter-of-factly."No. Actually, she won the fight. Even complained at me because she found her opponent to be weak." Ace remarks, making me laugh."Well, she's not wrong. The men are pretty pathetic. I don't know where you found them, but you need to get better ones." I state, mentally applauding her. I found myself smiling as I pictured her knocking her opponent out and then yelling at Ace for the lack of competition she experienced. The entire situation was comical enough that I found myself holding back a laug
Hunter's Revenge 29. Late Night Hustle
...Sienna POV...I went home frustrated. I really don't know what I was expecting, but I guess I was hoping to see the Reaper when I was there. I can't explain my inner desire to cross paths with him again. He had this sort of aura that I found myself drawn to. The only place I knew where to find him was at the fight club. So to find out from Ace that it was unlikely to see him again, I felt a bit deflated. However, a thought came to mind. Something Ace had said began to ring loud in my mind. If I can't find the Reaper myself, then I'll have him come to me. From what I did know, the Reaper owned the fight club, and Ace seemed to be the one that managed it. But what would draw the Reaper out? I began to pace my room when it suddenly dawned on me. I would smoke him out. I was certain that Ace would've already told the Reaper of my sudden appearance. Any security breach like that would warrant a call to the boss. So what if there were a few more isolated events?I surpassed a laugh as
Hunter's Revenge 30. Goliath
"Care to explain where you were?" Zander asks, getting straight to the point."I don't know what you mean." I state, hoping to end this conversation. I walk over to my dresser, grab a pair of pyjamas, and put the shirt on over my towel. I then pull the pants up from under my towel. Once I'm fully clothed, I pull the towel away and walk back to my bathroom to hang it up."Sienna. Stop. We're being serious. Where were you?" Kieran asks, walking over to me."I don't have to tell you anything." I state a bit too firmly. I didn't realize how much the Reaper's lack of appearance had gotten to me. I was taking my frustrations out on my brothers, and they didn't deserve that."You're right. You don't have to tell us. We just wish you would. We just want what's best for you." Zander replies, coming over to sit down next to me. I look him in the eye and see the concern coming from him. I look away, unable to stay under his gaze. I can see he truly means well, but the more I look at him, the gui
Hunter's Revenge 31. Firecracker
...ACE POV...I was beyond frustrated. I had spent the entire day setting up the new security system Hunter had requested. I was a boxer, not a tech nerd. I didn't know a single thing about any of this. But Hunter wanted it, so I had no choice but to oblige. This is why I spent the day verifying their qualifications while also performing background checks and security checks on each member assigned to set up the system. We couldn't have just anyone enter the premises. It was a paperwork nightmare that Hunter had so kindly slapped me with. I knew he was getting back at me for Sienna. He was pissed that she had managed to enter the premises without him knowing. But mostly, I think he was worried about her. He never confirmed it, but he neither denied it. It was clear as day that he took a liking to her. No one else would ever get away with challenging him and live to tell the tale. I had to admit, I was upset, as I had set my eyes on Sienna first. I had hoped that I could work on getti
Hunter's Revenge 32. Waiting Game
...HUNTER POV...The plane had just landed in New York when I got the call from Ace."Ace, what is it now? Do you know what time it is?" I ask, annoyed that he's calling me right now.It had only been a few hours since we last talked, and everything was going well. He was going on about the new top-of-the-line security system he had installed. We would know right away if someone tried to enter without authorization."I just want it on the record that I did everything I could and don't want to die." Ace started, making me even more annoyed."Whether you live or die is yet to be determined. I better not hear something I won't like." I say, knowing he would understand the underlying threat. When the line remains silent, I curse myself knowing that whatever Ace has to say is going to be nothing but bad news."Spit it out. I don't have all night. What happened?" I ask, demanding answers."It was Sienna." Ace began, making the storm inside me increase in fortitude."What about her?" I grit
Hunter's Revenge 33. KO
...Sienna POV...Just like the night before, I found myself fighting against the twins. In just a short few days, I had already improved. I found myself better at anticipating their movements while also learning how to apply more impact to each of my punches. This time I was fighting Zander as Kieran watched over us, commenting on areas of improvement. I found myself excited for tonight. Even though the fighters were all sub-par at best, I enjoyed the challenge. I wasn't familiar with their fighting styles, so it felt more real than sparring against my brothers. They had trained me, so I knew how they moved. But with a stranger, their moves were unique to them. Going against them helped me to become a better fighter, as I was getting good at learning each of their styles. I mostly found that tactical skill was never their forte. Rather, they all seemed to use strength as their weapon. While this wasn't a bad thing, it wasn't a good thing either, as it meant that, like my fight agains
Hunter's Revenge 34. Battle Royale
I parked in the same place as last night. I grabbed my tablet, looking over the surveillance footage. I had set up a hack last night when I was here, so I could easily get in tonight. I knew I couldn't play around with the power, so instead, I decided to be a bit more creative. I could see from the feeds that there were a lot more security guards here tonight. Ace really upped his game. Too bad for him that security is my family name, so there was no such thing as an unbeatable system. I hope Hunter doesn't take out his aggression on Ace. He really is a good guy. In a way, he reminds me of the fun uncle. The family member that tries hard to never have to discipline anyone while being the one we all go to when we want to do something fun. So seeing him being all commanding and authoritative only puts a smile on my face. I know he's trying hard. It just doesn't work on me.I grab some footage from the internet of someone trying to break into a building. I then edited the footage to make

Hunter's Revenge 104. Final Seconds
About an hour later, Silvio reenters the room, looking directly at me. Though the odd thing is he seems neither surprised nor upset to see the sudden disappearance of Ash and Hunter. Were they captured? Is that why? I wonder to myself. "Ah, good. I see we're right on schedule." Silvio comments, making me turn my head to look up at him. "Don't look at me like that. I know you're a smart girl. You don't actually believe that I would be as stupid as to confess my ultimate plan with you, then to let you escape?" Silvio asks, making me quirk a brow. I remained silent, unsure of what to say. I didn't understand what was happening. I could feel my mind working to figure out what I had missed. "I told you what I wanted you to know." Silvio comments, making my eyes go wide. A thought suddenly comes to mind. Silvio had gone into detail about his plan and then left us unattended. He wanted us to escape, which could only mean one thing. Hunter and Ash's freedom was nothing but a delusion. Si
Hunter's Revenge 103. Bomb's Away
“Mariposa.” Hunter comments, making my desire for him increase. It’s been so long since Hunter last called me that. He used to only ever call me that. But with everything happening lately, he switched to calling me by my name. I couldn’t even be mad either, as I would’ve done the same thing if I were in his shoes. He tried desperately to give me the benefit of the doubt, regardless of how much incriminating evidence there was. So to hear Hunter calling me his Mariposa once more makes me far happier than I could imagine.Without realizing it, I had closed the distance between us. My lips found Hunter’s with no abandon. Time seems to freeze as we deepen the kiss. So many unspoken conversations are taking place in unison with this kiss. I can feel all of Hunter’s emotions. His desires, his anguish, but most importantly, his love. I can feel his uneasiness when it comes to my plan. As well as the dread he feels knowing that this may be our only chance. While he may have put up a fight abo
Hunter's Revenge 102. Grand Finalé
The more time I spent in this room, the more familiar it was becoming. I just couldn’t place how. I’ve never been here before. So why does it look so familiar? I looked around the room, trying to pinpoint what it was about this room that looked so familiar. Which is when one thing caught my eye. The chair Hunter is sitting on is the same chair Ash was sitting on in the video that Silvio and Kevin had shown me earlier, which could only mean one thing. Silvio’s taken us to where Ash was tortured. This could end up being a good thing. Silvio hasn’t said a word about Ash which probably means that Ash is still alive. If Ash were dead, Silvio wouldn’t hesitate to let me know. So the fact that Silvio has remained quiet about Ash’s presence means that Ash is very much alive and could be our way out. I’ll just need to make yet another distraction. This one, however, will have to provide us with a lot more time. I’ll need to figure out how to get Hunter out of here. I already have an idea in m
Hunter's Revenge 101. Deja Vu
…Sienna POV…This was beginning to feel like a pattern. Being knocked unconscious and waking up somewhere else. Though this time, I couldn’t figure out where I was. All the other times, I had known that Hunter was behind it, and I was at his estate. But now? I couldn’t say the same. For whatever reason, something felt off about this. I don’t know why, but it was as though I could tell that I was no longer in Colombia. Which made me question how long I have been out.Shouts of anger and aggression can be heard from somewhere in the distance. My head is slightly dizzy, and I feel partially lightheaded. However, I know I need to figure out what’s going on. I see a stream of light coming from the far side of the room. I take a quick look around to get a better feel of what I’m dealing with. To see if there’s anything nearby that I could use as a weapon. After scanning the room as much as I can, I can’t seem to find anything that would make a decent enough weapon, so instead, I focus on
Hunter's Revenge 100. Brink of Death
...Hunter POV...I paced the floor of the hospital for what felt like hours. I had yet to see or hear from any of the medical personnel that were helping Tomás. I couldn't deny that not knowing almost seemed worse than what the final outcome would be. Every bloody scenario rang through my mind. Will Tomás make it out alive? If he does, what will happen to him? If he doesn't, am I prepared to live without him? While I may not exactly know the answer to that final question, I do know for sure that if Tomás does die, then I'm beyond prepared to burn everything around me. There's nothing that won't face my wrath. The memory of seeing Sienna standing over Tomás lifeless body will forever haunt my mind. I couldn't believe I'd been so reckless. I had singlehandedly brought the traitor into my house. I had given up my weak point to the one person I thought I could trust. To this day, I don't even know why I did that. It was as if just being near her made me feel, for the first time ever, th
Hunter's Revenge 99. Cusp of Life
....Sienna POV...The moment I saw Kevin, I knew he was here for one purpose and one purpose only. To kill me. Now that I had executed the last part of his plan, he no longer needed me alive. As they say, dead men tell no tales. So with my death, Hunter would be forced to believe what Kevin has continually fed him. I tried to move my arms and legs when I realized that they were immobile, and it wasn't just because I was once again strapped to the ceiling. Rather, my entire range of motion was gone, which made me realize that Kevin must've administered some sort of temporary paralytic. Well, I hope that it was only temporary. Otherwise, I'll be in far more trouble than I'm already in.I knew Kevin would want me to beg for my life. But I wouldn't allow myself to do that. No amount of begging would save me anyways. I just had to hope that Hunter got here soon. While there was a strong chance that Hunter would kill me, my only chance of survival relied on Hunter giving me a chance to ex
Hunter's Revenge 98. Puppeteer
...Kevin POV...When I saw Silvio slowly crawl his way out of the dungeon, I knew for a fact that my plan was right on schedule. From the state of Silvio, I could see that Sienna happily took the bait. She must be on her way to save Tomás as we speak. The house was in an utter frenzy. From the moment Hunter opened the door to reveal a panicked Sienna, chaos erupted. Hunter started shouting commands at anyone within earshot. He attempted to get to Sienna. However, she managed to evade him. I had to hand it to her; I didn't think she'd have it in her to be able to fight back to the extent that she was. I thought for sure that her body would be too drained from the torture that Silvio had been dishing out to her for nearly a week now. It took everything inside of me to hide the smile that continually threatened to escape the more I watched from the side. Hunter was chasing Sienna out of the house toward his car. I couldn't lie; even the fact that she was able to think so quickly on her
Hunter's Revenge 97. To Hell & Back
...Hunter's POV...Javier's question had thrown me off guard. Why was Silvio in the dungeon with her? Since meeting with her, I had relieved Silvio from his torture duties. I didn't want anyone down there with her, other than Javier and myself until I had decided on what to do with her. I had reassigned Silvio to look after Tomás. It was his original assignment before Sienna arrived, so it only made sense to put him back on that task. I wanted to make sure Tomás was safe. He was vulnerable enough as it was. I didn't want to exploit that fact.No one was as stunned as I was when I opened the door to see a panicked-looking Sienna on the other side of the door. My mind was flooded with questions. Why was Sienna there? Why wasn't she tied up? How did she escape? What happened with Silvio? Did he let her escape? Before I could get an answer to any of those questions, a bloodied Silvio stumbles down the hallway behind her, taking my attention off her momentarily and providing her with the
Hunter's Revenge 96. Traitors in the Midst
...Javier POV...Hunter had requested that I personally see to Sienna's well-being and inform him of any changes. I could tell he still cared for her, regardless of what happened down there. It was as though he was pretending to be cruel to her to keep up a facade. Which made me wonder why? Did Kevin have a much larger hold on Hunter than I had assumed? Whatever the reason was, I knew to keep any findings to myself and Hunter. If Hunter wasn't able to trust anyone else, then neither would I.I was heading toward Hunter's office when I saw Silvio turn down the hallway to the basement. I was about to meet with Hunter, so I didn't have time to investigate further. However, his presence in that hallway had my nerves on edge. I don't know why, but something just felt wrong. Once I had finished the meeting with Hunter and the others had left the office, I closed his door and talked to him about my concerns."Hunter?" I called, using his first name instead of his title.Hunter immediately s
