Hunter's Revenge 58. Updates
...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
Hunter's Revenge 59. Empty Promises
...Several Months Later...Everything was finally going my way. Not only did we manage to take down the triad, but my relationship with Kevin proved to be invaluable. With his help, we also took over the Bratva. He had men on the inside that helped us to take them down. It's amazing what money can do these days. How much a person's loyalty can be swayed by a few pieces of paper. With Kevin's help, I started to learn more about my parents. I was still uncertain, as I didn't even know their names. So I was confused as to how Kevin seemed to be able to find out, as I had tried everything to find anything about them. But no one seemed to know who they were. Though Kevin was only too happy to share the information with me, I began to question the authenticity of it all. Though I couldn't deny in the short time I had known Kevin, he had become somewhat of a father figure to me. I never knew what it was like to have a dad, but Kevin seemed to fill the role. I respected him. He hadn't shown
Hunter's Revenge 60. Seed of Doubt
...Kevin POV...My plan was going perfectly. Over the past several months, I had been working hard to get Hunter to trust me. I did everything I could, even taking him under my wing, so to speak, in hopes that he would gain my trust. I knew if I acted like a father figure that it was only a matter of time until he began to confide in me. It's part of our genetics to lean toward those that act as a mother or father figure. I just needed to use his genetics against him.I knew by dangling his family in front of him like a carrot; he would immediately grow interested. I planned to exploit this curiosity. I was using it as a way to sink my proverbial fangs into him. Without him realizing it, I was suddenly the one with all the answers. If he wanted to learn more, then he would have to come to me to get those answers. He was already aware that no one else knew the answers. So his only chance to learn more about his family was through me. Val was right with both the painting and Brio. Th
Hunter's Revenge 61. A New Direction
...Sienna POV...It's been over a year since Rylee was killed. There isn't a moment that goes by that I don't blame myself for what happened. The treatment centre has really helped me; I'm slowly becoming my old self. But even with their tactics, I still can't stop blaming myself for Rylee's death. I close my eyes, not allowing myself to go down that path once again. My focus is on today and planning for my future. With the help of the center, I was able to transfer my pain and torment into something constructive. We soon realized that I had blamed myself for taking a prodigy surgeon from our world. While it wasn't their goal, I decided to take it upon myself to fulfill Rylee's shoes. If Rylee wasn't able to achieve her dreams, then I would do it for her. Soon my mission to follow in her footsteps became my reason for living. Rylee was gone; there wasn't anything I could do to change that. But I could change my impact on the world. I didn't want to be known as the Stone Princess or r
Hunter's Revenge 62. Not at Fault
In just under an hour, Maverick had already arrived, curious as to why I had asked him to come. "Hey, Half Pint. How are you doing?" Maverick asks, pulling me into a firm hug.I let myself relax in his embrace, feeling myself calm down. The familiar feeling of home washed over me as I let myself be held by my brother. Maverick seemed to understand, as he didn't push me away or try to hurry the process up. Rather it was almost as though he needed this hug as much as I did, and from the look in his eyes, I could tell he did.We stay like that for a while as we both seem unwilling to let each other go. I hadn't realized how much I had missed Maverick until now. It was as if everything that had happened in the past year finally caught up to me as I crumbled in his embrace.To my surprise, Maverick doesn't say anything. Rather, he continues to hold me. I wrap my arms around him tighter as if feeling that if I let him go, I won't see him again. I feel Maverick softly stroke my back in a re
Hunter's Revenge 63. Residency
...Three Years Later......Sienna POV...So much has happened in such a short amount of time. I was released from the rehabilitation centre a week after I got my acceptance letter from Harvard. With Maverick's help, I moved to Massachusetts, where I studied my ass off in order to fast-track my way into becoming a general surgeon. In order to fast-track the program, I had to take double the course load. It was difficult, but it was worth it. If Rylee was here, I know she would be impressed.After my year at Harvard, I managed to apply for a residency at Johns Hopkins Memorial Hospital in Baltimore. I chose this one in particular as I was closer to home. After being away from my family for so long, I started to miss them. However, I couldn't deny how powerful it felt to be independent. Being away from my family gave me the chance I needed to find my own identity. With my residency in full swing, I had begun to get back into some of the activities I had enjoyed prior to the accident. I s
Hunter's Revenge 64. Romance is Dead
...Kevin POV...I couldn't believe it. It's been nearly three years since I first managed to get Hunter on my side to go against the Stones. I was running out of patience. Why was this taking so long? Hunter had managed to take down the entire Triad in a manner of months. So why couldn't he take down one stupid family? I found myself pacing my office as I went through all the reasonable explanations as to why this was taking so long. This must have to do with the girl. What was it about her that made the infamous Reaper cower before her? "Val!" I shout, interrupting my thoughts.The familiar clacking of Val's heels as she rushes into my office, alerts me of her presence."Sir?" Val responds, wondering why I called her into my office."What's the update?" I ask, referring to the Stone Empire. I had Val filling me in on a regular basis, waiting to find out when their stocks had finally taken a hit.Val remains silent, and I can hear her fidgeting behind me. I turn around, annoyed by h
Hunter's Revenge 65. You Did It
...Sienna POV...A few months have gone by, and I haven't heard a word about my application for the International Surgical Residency Program. I'd given up hope on getting in, not that I thought I would in the first place. I was mainly obliging Maverick. Though I couldn't deny that I had started to think of what my life would be like if I did get into the program. Maverick's words had gotten to me. I soon found myself dreaming of completing my residency with no hurdles like the bullying I was constantly having to endure. I would be able to become a surgeon without any hassles. It was an absolute dream of mine, but one that was short-lived as I would never get into the program anyways. So why dwell on what could be?I was thankful to have Maverick in my corner. He believes in me far more than I believe in myself. But he also doesn't understand how hard it is to get into programs like this. This program is extremely prestigious. They don't just let anyone in. You have to be the best of t

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
