...Two weeks ago...

...Kevin POV...

Val and I had been working hard trying to get the Reaper's attention. However, regardless of our efforts, the Reaper seemed to be ignoring us. We were running out of time. I needed to find a way to get the Reaper on our side or risk the Triad coming after us.

"Kevin!" I hear Val cry out, running into my office with a tablet in hand.

"What's going on? Why are you yelling?" I ask.

"I think I found our in." She says, handing me the tablet. I look at her oddly as she begins to jump on the spot. Clearly, whatever she's found is making her excited.

"The men you had posted watching the Stone family just sent an update. Look at this." She says, reaching over and sliding her finger across the screen.

I look at it in mild confusion, not quite sure what I'm supposed to be looking at.

"What is this?" I ask.

"Look!" She says, as if wondering how I wasn't seeing it already.

I roll my eyes, but look closer at the image.

"I don't get it. What am I supp-..." I begin

    ...The day after the accident......Hunter POV...I was growing anxious about my date with Sienna. I don't know why. I've never cared to take a girl on a date before. I've only just f*cked and dropped them. I never cared about any of them to show an attachment. But for whatever reason, Sienna was different. The need to wine and dine her was unparalleled. I couldn't explain why she was different. Perhaps it was because she was the first girl I met who willingly challenged me. She didn't fear me, which I found both refreshing and concerning. Why did she never seem to fear me? I wondered. Even the strongest of men feared me. To the point that I had grown used to no one being able to look me in the eye. However, Sienna wasn't like that. Rather, she seemed captivated by my eyes. I caught her a few times staring aimlessly at me. A smile graced her lips each time. It was as though she didn't see me for the monster I was but the man I am. No one has ever looked at me like that. But yet, it w

    ...Kevin POV...I was absolutely livid. I had done everything to get the Reaper on our side, and he has the audacity to shut me down once again? I couldn't believe it! I literally had the ultimate bargaining chip in my possession, and yet the Reaper didn't care. The Reaper's refusal to meet with me sent me into a blinding rage. I didn't realize how out of it I was until I saw the wreckage that was my office. I had only been this upset once before, and that was when I came back for Haley to find out that she had left me for that American. "Sir?" I hear Val's tentative voice at my office door. I turn my head to see her standing in my doorway, unsure as to whether she should enter or not."What do you want?" I shout out in irritation."The Reaper..." She begins, making me grab the closest thing to me and slamming it against the wall in frustration."I'm aware! Are you trying to provoke me? Cause you're doing a hell of a job of it!" I shout, reaching for something else I can throw. This

    ...Hunter POV..."What did you just say?" I asked, not sure if I heard right."You heard me. The Stones are the reason why you grew up an orphan." Kevin remarks.I turn around to look at him. I knew this had to be another one of his ploys to keep me here. To join him. And yet, I couldn't shake the curiosity. I had spent my entire life searching for clues about who my parents were. So how was it that he was able to uncover the truth? While I was pretty sure that whatever he was about to tell me was more than likely his own conceived story. I wanted to see where this led. So instead of arguing with him, I allowed him to entertain me with his story."How much do you know about the Stone family?" He asks instead, making me raise an eyebrow. "What does that have to do with anything?" I ask, not even attempting to hide my annoyance."Take a seat. This will be a while." He says, gesturing to the couch at the end of his office by the window. I'm really tempted to just walk out of the office

    It took a lot for me to remain seated and continue listening to this old man's flawed way of thinking. I may not be a saint, but I respected people, whether they are male or female. Kevin's way of thinking was night and day in comparison to my own way. But I couldn't share that with him. I needed him to think I was on the same page as him."We decided to smoke her out. Going after her would be pointless. She could literally come into any of our buildings, and we would be none the wiser. It was like she had been turned into a ghost. So instead, we started to seek out her friends. Even though we couldn't track Haley, I knew she would still manage to find a way to find out what was happening with her friends. We knew she wouldn't come out of hiding if she thought her friends were ok. So we needed her to think we were going after them. Chase arranged to have his members follow all her friends around, including Damian. So it was only a matter of time until she discovered our little hidden

    "Where did you get this?" I ask."It was difficult to find, but this is the original copy." Kevin states.But how? I wondered. When I searched for information about my birth, I was given a copy where the names of my parents were redacted from my birth certificate. I was told that it was because my parents didn't want any ties to me. I looked up from the paper in my hand to look back at Kevin. I wasn't sure what to think. Did he make this up? How is it possible he was able to find this out, and I couldn't?"This is bullsh*t." I comment, handing the paper back to him. There's no way this could be true. "Actually, it's completely true. I have more to back it up." Kevin said, rummaging through his desk once more. He grabbed a file, took some paper out, and handed it to me. I tentatively grabbed the paper from his hand to see what this proof was."Who are these people?" I ask, looking at the pictures of both a man and a woman. Even without him saying anything, I couldn't deny the similari

    ...One week later......Hunter POV...After the meeting with Kevin, it was as if my entire world had been shattered. Kevin told me everything about my parents. Whether I believed it or not, I wasn't quite sure. For all I knew, this was just another ploy. Those that looked into me knew I had no information on who my birth parents were. A simple fact that Kevin could just be trying to exploit. He could make up whatever he wanted for all I knew, and I would have no way to prove it otherwise.After all, Kevin Westshire wasn't exactly known as an honourable man. Though, neither was I. Though just like me, I knew Kevin wouldn't tell me something like this unless he wanted something. I could tell he was hiding something from me, but I wasn't sure what.I couldn't deny how much his big reveal had shaken me. While I couldn't prove the authenticity of his story, I couldn't deny the facts either. Regardless of Kevin's intentions, it was clear that Scarlett and Chase were my parents, and the Ston

    ...Maverick POV...With the help of the twins, I managed to get the funds secured to give to the St. James family. Together, we cleaned out our trust funds and gave them all the money they would need to keep Mrs. St. James in the medical trial. It was the absolute least we could do. After all, this is the reason the girls had gotten involved with all of this in the first place. Riley's parents were happy to receive the money, but I could tell that Lena, Riley's mother, had lost the will to live. With Riley gone, she no longer wanted to fight to survive. Adrian was also having a difficult time.We hadn't seen much of them since the funeral. Sienna was unable to attend due to her condition. The St. James' were having difficulties remaining in the city. Everything reminded them of the daughter they once had. So with the help of my parents, we managed to relocate them to a destination of their choice. They had decided to move back to Jamaica to be close to their family. We were sad to see

    ...Hunter POV...It had been a few months since I acquired Brio. I was hesitant to use it at first; however, even I couldn't deny the improvement it was having on Tomás. Just the thought nearly brought a tear to my eye. It was amazing seeing Tomás lead the life he deserved to have. He was like a regular boy his age. Tomás had demanded he go back to school as well. While I was hesitant to allow it, he finally managed to break me down. He had only been to school for a couple of weeks, and already he had massed a large group of friends. I couldn't be happier for him. I feel my mind suddenly turn dark as my mind begins to travel, sending me flashes of Tomás and Sienna together. She wasn't aware, but I heard their entire conversation. I was dumbfounded to know that she was fluent in Spanish. All this time, I had talked to her in Spanish, and yet she never said anything. I could see she was waiting to see what I would say in front of her. She truly was unbelievable. No matter how much I wa

    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

    “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

    ....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

    ...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
