Fate is what takes you down that road you ever so often avoid taking. Take, for instance meeting Raven Sloane. At the time, I had no idea that it was where I was supposed to be, with whom I am meant to be, doing what I should be doing...falling in love.
I wish I could have blamed gravity, but the truth was I fell in love. I fell deeper and deeper until I reached the deepest point. In the middle of all my chaos, there she was. You can call it destiny, or you can call it fate; the point is you will fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time.
Now that unexpected love has brought us to this point today.
Upon arriving at the club, I stepped into my office, and the moment I set a foot through the door, I heard the very distinct sound of a trigger being slightly swept with a finder. As turned around, firm grabbing onto my gun, I soon found myself facing a rather angry Raven.
So as I am standing faced by this very woman that I fell i
…Raven POV… I have never felt such extreme anger towards a single soul in my life before. To say that my heart is not raging with hatred would be a lie. All I feel towards Hunter King now is the desire to end his life. Did I care about this man before? Or did I even fall in love with him? If you ask me now, then I would say no. I feel betrayed, and god knows I feel hurt. The pain that he has inflicted on me is one that you can never forgive. How can you plan to walk into the home of a man with the intent of killing him? Can he even dare to say that he is doing this all for us?” What us? There is no such thing. I hate the man. Yet this man thinks that he can underestimate me; it only takes me but a snap of a second, and I have my wrist away from him. Not being able to resist, I only but burst into laughter, “Do you truly think I am just a fucking pretty face?” “Oh, princess, I know that you can handle that thing. But do
It is with great satisfaction and a small victory in my heart that I watch the look on Raven’s face as the barrel is softly laid against her head. Now, of course, I will not let the man shoot her, but it is time that she calms the fuck down. She can, by all right, be her worst own enemy; she self-destructs in an epic way. Not that I am saying that I don’t do it myself.But I am not the one that is slightly outnumbered.So trying my best to hide my pure pleasure, only to fail completely, I call out for her. She has gone completely dead still on the spot, and I swear the woman has not winked for the past minute. “Raven, I guess this is where you have to drop that gun.”“Fuck you, Hunter. What are you going to do?” I can hear her voice is now starting to tremble. From under a stuttered breath, she continues in a fit of anger, “Are you going to shoot a woman now as well.”With clear determination, I only but nod
I watched Raven’s back for the final time as she walked out that door.That was three days ago.Today, I am still a fucking mess, and god knows I think that I will still be one for a while. The fact is that I cannot keep living in the vicious circle of absolutely torture. There is nothing…between us only spaces of emptiness and nothing. There was love…once, yet there was none; as for feeling, what parts existed? What parts of us existed?The thing with moving on is you will be stuck there for a while. You will be moving, yet you will still be stuck in the memory, in the moments. So are you truly moving on?I say it is bullshit.But I cannot be that man that is going to climb into a deep abyss and sit in my own misery wondering what went wrong. I am Hunter King, and this man will not let women ruin his life and kick him down. I am getting off this fucking floor where I have been wallowing for the last three days, and I am claimin
My life is about to change. What I do next will determine how strong the King of the Underworld will become. Now I am a determined man, and there shall be nothing and no one that will come in my way in my pursuit to claim what is mine.Though if you look at it, what I wish to claim is truly not mine. Therefore one can say, I wish to take something that does not belong to me. But I believe in all of my destiny that I have a right to it. I do not want to share; Hunter Sloane is not a man that does. I want to be alone at the top; I want it all to be mine. Yes, I have grown somewhat ruthless and a bit power-hungry.Now, in the next few seconds, I will face the man whom I will take down; he is the one that possesses the last piece; with that piece, I will have all of the power of the state in my hands. Yes, this is my desire, and no man or woman will tell me any way otherwise.I am about to set the wheels in motion, make that ripple in the pond, and start a whole new
The silence has suffocated the room; you can hear a pin drop. The anticipation that one eager finger will trip over its trigger is a possibility that lies high in the tense air of the room. What was a friendly exchange of words between gentleman, which I had the upper hand, has now led into a stand-off. And as I scan the room, while I take a gentle spin on my heels, I am faced with some trembling hands staring me rather nervously in the face. And as I glance over to my side, I see Sloane, only now getting a hold of his gun; the man surely is slow; if it were a battle between him and me, he would have hit the floor already. Now, if someone is going to hit the floor is yet to be seen. The mere fact that they had the nerve to raise their guns at me would be the very first mistake that they have made tonight. This leads me to advise them of only but two things, “If I was you, and god, I am glad I am not, for if you do not drop your fucking hands, you all will be finding
My relationship with Raven was, and I am yet the one to admit it, but it was brief. Though for that time that she gave herself to me, it meant more than I thought that it would at the moment. Yes, for only but nothing more than two weeks, she was present in my life, but in this time, she captured my heart in such a way that she totally brought me down to my knees.I cannot say if when I found who she truly was if she became more of a mountain than I wanted to conquer. Was I purely out to piss of Sloane? Perhaps, but what made everything worse in the end, no matter of the reason why I fell in love with Raven, is that she was taken away from me. Well, not by someone else but purely by her own doing. Yes, she was doing what she felt it was right for her father, yet did she not feel a single thing for me before she made her decision?Well, frankly, I think that we have passed that point where things matter, for they have now become out of hand, and I think, yet let me say
Everything pays the price…even love. We are paying the price for the bad things in our past, for the bad people we have left behind. I would like to say that my past has come to haunt me, but when you truly reflect, it is Raven that has left a string of monsters behind. Now in no way am I blaming her for what has happened, but I just wish that there was a point where she was more honest. Faith, well, it is a word that I truly have lost all faith in, if you may say it in such a strange way. What does a man like me do to deserve what has been thrown on my plate? I did not ask for it, I did not do any wrong, it was done to me, and I had no say. Ya, let me fucking repeat it…Everything pays the price…even love… We have paid the price…I have paid the price. Fate is what happens when you are not watching, yet karma is the way to play fate’s wicked game. Now the only thing you can be sure of is yourself. What changes is everything else? The ch
I had sex with Raven again...honestly what the fuck was I thinking?Well, the part that was doing the thinking was only thinking of all the things that he wishes to do to the little ice princess, which was hot as fucking lava.So I am preparing myself for another "Dear John" or perhaps a "Get Out." Well whichever one is playing in her head, I guess if I can say one thing to her now, then it would be something like this..."My little ice princess...From the first moment we met, I knew there was something different about you. Maybe you were the first person to treat me kindly. But, no. It was more than that. There was an aura about you that I could never quite get around. A wave of self-sufficiency, a wall of independence that no one would ever break down. It haunts me to this day. I could never compete with that, I'm a big enough person to admit it. I require a certain amount of dependence on people, I always have. Maybe that's one reason, of all the many
