Hunter's Revenge 73. Compromise
...Sienna POV...I looked at the time on my phone and saw that Ash had been gone for over an hour already, which meant that he should be here any moment now. I could tell that whoever was following me was still there, but for whatever reason, they had backed off. I could no longer feel their burning stares, which made me relax. Perhaps they were just watching me because I was reckless earlier and bought a large number of items. What people spend for rent here, I easily spent on art supplies alone. So, of course, that was bound to earn some interested looks. But I couldn't shake that whoever was following me wasn't doing so simply because I bought a lot of things. Rather it was as if they knew who I was and were bidding their time. Waiting in the shadows.I was nervous but refused to show it. I knew it was only a matter of time until Ash came back, and then I would have him take me home. I knew I should tell Ash, but at the same time, I knew I couldn't. If I told Ash, then I knew he wo
Hunter's Revenge 74. Unexpected Discovery
While I wasn't on board with Ash's plan to avoid those that had been following me, I needed him to think I was. So long as he believed nothing was wrong, I would be able to think of a way to smoke out my stalkers. So in the meantime, I decided to keep my head down and make him believe that I had, in fact, moved on.I continued my rounds with Dr. Hales, soaking up every single bit of information I could. I found that I really enjoyed working in the hospital. I was learning so much that it helped to distract me from my problems. Dr. Hales was called in to consult with another surgeon, so in the meantime, we were left to check up on the remaining patients. Dr. Hales had to consult on cases quite frequently, so whenever she did, we were allowed to roam the hospital. The only condition was that we weren't to go to the third floor. No one ever explained why, only that it was off-limits. I tried to ignore it, but for whatever reason, it felt as though that floor was calling me. I've always
Hunter's Revenge 75. Sudden Death
My heart begins to race as I stare at non-other than Silvio. One of Hunter's trusted men."What are you doing here?" I ask."Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Silvio snickers as he steps closer to me. I take a careful step backwards, careful not to corner myself."What have you done to Tomás?" I ask."That's none of your concern." Silvio replies, inching closer to me once more."Actually, it is my concern." I comment."Oh? And how so?" Silvio questions, crossing his arms over his chest as he takes yet another step into the room."Tomás is one of my patients. So, of course, I need to know." I reply, hoping on the off chance he'll believe me."Is that so? Cause I don't seem to remember you on the list of medical professionals allowed in the room." Silvio threatens.I try to think of a comeback, but my mind goes blank."That's because I'm just interning. I was tasked to look after Tomás while Dr. Navarro checked up on another patient." I lie.Without having to know what was really going o
Hunter's Revenge 76. Smoke Screen
"What makes you think that this is my fault?" I shout as we run through the narrow streets in search of safety.Instead of replying, Ash simply gives me his signature eyebrow raise, as if saying 'do you really expect me to believe that?'Before I could respond, more shots ring out from behind us, making it quite clear that we have yet to lose Hunter's men. We ran as fast as we could, making sure to make our movements as erratic as possible to make it more difficult for Hunter's men to follow us, and yet they were still hot on our heels. "No, you're right. This clearly isn't your fault. Cause people just randomly chase you with guns on a regular basis!" Ash shouts sarcastically, clearly annoyed."What the f*ck happened?!" Ash demands."I don't know..." I begin, and it was true. I really didn't know what was going on. I thought I did, but there seemed to be something bigger happening that I wasn't privy to."What the hell do you mean you don't know? Clearly, you know something. Otherwi
Hunter's Revenge 77. Captive
When I wake up, my vision is blurry and my head is groggy. I feel nauseous and cold. I don't know where I am. I try to open my eyes to get a better look around, only for my stomach to somersault. I begin to dry heave, using what little strength I have not to throw up. I lean back and feel my back rest against a cold wall. I lean my head back slowly, allowing my stomach to settle before I try to open my eyes once more. After several minutes, I feel the nausea begin to settle, so I try to open my eyes once more. I realize my hands are tied behind my back, and my feet are tied in front of me. I seem to be in some sort of cell. The floor is covered in blood and dirt. There is only a small amount of light coming through a small hole in the wall. I can't make out much else as my vision is too blurry. I close my eyes, hoping for the dizziness to subside. My head is pounding, but I can't tell whether it's from the fight or from whatever it was they gave me. Thoughts of Ash ring through my m
Hunter's Revenge 78. Treachery
...Hunter POV...I was livid. Not only had my men disobeyed a direct order, but now my time frame was ruined. I had ordered my men to keep an eye on Sienna only. They were by no means supposed to come in contact with her. I didn't want Sienna implicated in any of this. I had hoped to find another way to get to Damian that didn't involve Sienna.I knew kidnapping Sienna was my best shot to get to Damian. Regardless, I didn't want her involved unless necessary, which was why I had my men watching over her. They were to report her movements and nothing else. So to find out that not only had they captured her, but they had also hurt her made me see red. I wanted answers, and I wanted them now.After leaving Sienna's cell, I went straight to my office. I ordered Javier to find Silvio and to bring him to me immediately.Silvio entered my office a few moments later. His self-righteous smile only made my hate for him grow. "¡Explicate tú mismo!" Explain yourself! I shout at him, grabbing a
Hunter's Revenge 79. High Emotions
...Sienna POV...My mind is buzzing, and my vision is still thready. I've been locked in here for who knows how long. I know I should be afraid. However, I am anything but. If anything, I'm just more annoyed. I don't even understand why I'm here, to begin with. The only thing I know is that Hunter has something to do with it. Yet, I can't figure out what's going on. I hadn't seen Hunter in years, but I thought we were on good terms. Not once did he give me the impression that he held any ill intent for me. Lord knows that he had many opportunities to kidnap or kill me. But each time, he only brought me to his house and nursed me back to health. So why now? What's going on? As if I wasn't confused enough, his kiss from earlier still has my mind reeling. That kiss was unbelievable. Toe-curling, mind-numbingly amazing. I could tell he felt it too, as he pulled me deeper into the kiss. Neither of us wanted it to stop. And yet, here I am, a captive and held against my will. I hear a sli
Hunter's Revenge 80. Smile
...Sienna POV...I could hear the gate clanging, meaning someone was coming down to see me. But what I didn't understand was why? Up until now, only one guard ever came to see me. He would give me food three times a day. Not that I ever ate it. But the guard had already been here. So why was someone coming now?My headache had long since passed. I felt slightly disoriented from the lack of food, but otherwise, I was fine. I could deal with the drowsiness. I just needed to bide my time. My dad would find me. Expecting to see the guard from earlier, I'm even more surprised when I see someone else completely. Though this man looks familiar, I can't place where I've seen him before. He walks toward me with a camera in hand. He takes a quick picture before turning around to leave."Wait!" I call out. When the man doesn't respond, I switch to Spanish. "¡Esperar! ¡Por favor! ¡No te vayas!" Wait! Please! Don't go! I shout. The man takes another step only to pause mid-stride. I breathed in r

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
