The Huntress 17. Safe House
"Terry, pass me your phone." I state, urgently.Terry doesn't hesitate, handing me his phone. I dial Jace's number, hoping desperately he's with Damian right now.Jace picks up on the first ring. He recognizes the number, so answers immediately."Huxley." Jace remarks into the phone."Jace. Is Damian there with you?" I ask, getting straight to the point."Yes. Why do you ask?" "Are you somewhere private, where no one can listen in on you- including tech?" I ask."No. But I can be. Just a second." He comments. The line goes quiet before I hear Jace pick the call back up."Asher? You still there?""Asher? Is he ok? Where is Sienna?" I hear Damian frantically remark in the background. "Ya, I'm still here. Pass the phone to Damian. I need to talk to him." I state.Jace isn't happy but ultimately obliges. The sounds are muffled slightly as I can only guess that Jace is switching to his headset, giving an earbud to Damian in the meantime."Asher? What's going on? Where are you? Where's my

The next hour is extremely chaotic. As suspected, Damian's team managed to locate several bombs throughout Stone Enterprises. They took comprehensive pictures of all of them and sent them all to me. Terry helped me organize each of them to make sure I could properly figure out how to disarm them. Damian informed me that the person behind the bombs is known for always having a backup plan. Which would mean we would need to find more than one way to disarm the bombs. I would need to work on a way to disrupt the signal to not only the bomb itself but from any communication devices in place to trigger it as well. While all of this was completely out of Hunter's understanding, he still proved himself to be an asset. He watched to see where he was needed and then helped to organize a game plan. Once I was satisfied that I had managed to identify every way to disarm the bombs, we went through our game plan as many times as possible. Because of the trackers inside of us, Hunter and I would

...Sienna POV......Present..."So... wait... you're telling me that not only is Silvio alive, but my dad's business did, in fact, blow up? I thought it didn't since I'm still alive." I comment, unsure as to what's going on. "Yes.. and no..." Ash comments. I furrow my brows at him, unable to understand what he could possibly mean by that. A building blowing up can only ever be a yes or a no answer. Not both. You can't somewhat blow up a building. Either you do or you don't."The tower blowing up was faked. Stone Enterprises never blew up.""Care to explain?" I ask."Your dad would be the better person to ask. But essentially, he created a sophisticated program that mixes AR and AI technology to create an interactive scenario. So to put it simply, the building exploding was nothing more than a computer program." Ash remarks, making my eyes go wide.I watch as Ash pulls out his phone and searches for something before showing me the phone. On the screen is the video feed of the building

"What about Silvio?" I ask, desperately needing to change the topic."He's disappeared. As we had suspected would happen. We believe that he's using Kevin's finances to hide from us. It seems as though Silvio managed to syphon a large number of funds from Kevin's company into offshore bank accounts. We're unable to trace it from there, but we believe Kevin was oblivious to this. As Kevin was under the impression that it was your father working against him, which was causing his funds to go sparse."I continue to nod my head in response. In all fairness, my dad was, in fact, doing that. I know my dad has been after Kevin for years. But it just goes to show that you can never be too careful. Kevin had thought Silvio was on his side. When in reality, he was just biding his time, waiting for the opportunity to get rid of Kevin. To Silvio, Kevin was nothing more than a convenient placeholder.Ash seems to grow silent, making me wonder if there's something else he's not telling me."What is

I shoot a look over to the announcer, challenging him without uttering a sound. The look on my face says it all. "Get me a real contender." The announcer gulps and nods his head. Searching his list for someone else. Someone that is worth my time. After a brief pause, a much bulkier man than before walks into the ring with a wicked glint in his eye. He stares at me before spitting on the ground, showing his dominance. I hold in a laugh at his attempt to intimidate me. Even after everything that happened, things never changed. Men like him will always think they have the advantage just because they're taller and bulkier than women. But he will soon realize that strength isn't everything.The announcer begins the fight and unlike my previous contender, this man just stands there waiting for my advance. I look him up and down, searching for his weak points. The giant before me, however, considers my gaze to be one of longing and appreciation rather than calculative. That was his second

...Ace POV...The moment my men told me that Sienna had forced her way inside, I knew tonight was going to be sheer chaos. I hadn't seen this girl for years now. I thought for sure she had smartened up and would stay away from here. This wasn't a place for someone like her to be in. Not only was it dangerous, but she could get herself killed. She was too much like Hunter. Both of them fought as though they were untouchable. Their level of cockiness far outweighed anyone else I've ever known. I'm afraid that if I can't get her to stop one of these days, she may not make it out alive. I know why she's here. But what she doesn't realize is that no one has heard from Hunter in almost a year. It's been so long that I had actually forgotten that Hunter still owns the place. Not once has he reached out or made an appearance in the past year. I don't know what happened, but something must've happened if Sienna was back here making noise in hopes of finding Hunter.I look down from the wind

...Sienna POV...It's been three months since I first started coming to the club. I was growing tired and impatient. What else could I do? I've done everything I could think of to contact Hunter, but for whatever reason, I know he's keeping his distance from me. The question is, why?Ace has become a good friend during these months. Even though I know he doesn't want me doing this, he doesn't say anything about it. He's there to help me when I need him. Since I was coming to the club practically every day now, Ace and I had begun a sort of routine. We would go out for food then he would help me train at the gym located on the upper floor of the club. After, I would beat the crap out of all the contenders, and then Ace would take me to Hunter's house. I spent my nights there, desperately attempting to feel closer to him.I hated that I felt like this. I hated that Hunter had made me into the type of girl I had despised. I hated the girls that longed for their boyfriends, that acted as

...Ace POV......Six Hours Later...I could see something was wrong. Ever since this afternoon, Sienna's been off her game. Her first fight was against a novice fighter. He hadn't heard about her reputation and had severely underestimated her abilities. Sienna would easily be able to take him out in a matter of seconds. So call me surprised when he managed to get a hit on her.I wasn't the only one surprised. The entire crowd grew silent. What was going on? The infamous Firecracker was just hit. It seemed like an impossibility. Sienna was a seasoned fighter. Not only that, but I had been training her as well. She was already a master in multiple forms of mixed martial arts, but I was training her to improve her abilities. No one with her skill set should ever take a hit from a novice. She was much better than that. So what was going on?I watched on in eagerness to see how the rest of the fight played out. For all I know, the guy may have just landed a lucky hit. Caught her unaware. S

The Huntress 90. Sudden Goodbyes
Once the plane landed, the men on the plane escorted us outside to some waiting all-terrain vehicles that were well-equipped to handle the rough and snowy climate. My heart practically stopped as we stepped out of the plane. The cold temperature was no joke. It was in the mild twenties when we left LA. From the harsh breeze hitting my skin, I would have to guess that it was closer to negative twenty here. With the wind chill, it easily felt as though it was close to negative forty out. This meant there was no chance of survival if we tried to escape. I didn't waste any time getting myself and Sienna into the enclosed vehicles. It was far too cold outside, and we weren't dressed for the harsh climate. Sienna was still out like a light, making her more susceptible to the harsh conditions. I could feel her body grow cold in my grasp, encouraging me to hold her firmly in my embrace in hopes of transferring some of my heat to her.A while later, we were escorted into a hidden building. Th
The Huntress 89. Momento
...Asher POV...I couldn't believe I had let us get caught. I was mad at myself more than anything. I should've planned for something like this. Eli and I went through the same training, yet he was a step ahead of me. I hated him for that. But mostly, I hated myself for getting us in this position. I hated that Sienna was hurt, and it was all my fault.Thankfully, her injuries weren't substantial. As she guessed, the bullet wound was a quick in and out, which meant that she would heal fine. If the bullet were still inside or an inch left or right, the injury would've been more substantial. But I can tell from her injury that Eli never planned on killing her. Rather he just wanted to subdue her. It was no secret that Sienna was highly trained. Eli probably even trained her as well at some point. So he would know that she was a capable fighter, and her instincts would be to fight back. Shooting her would be the quickest way to get a reaction from her, as it would be the last thing she
The Huntress 88. Drowning
...Sienna POV...My eyes slowly began to flutter open. It felt like I had been run over by a train. I tried to keep my head in an upright position, but it was as though it was weighted down with lead. My stomach began to twist as I tried to keep my head upright, to the point that I had to stop for fear of throwing up all over myself."Good. You're awake." I hear someone call out. However, I can't seem to make out the voice. It sort of sounds familiar, yet not at the same time. My head was pounding so hard that it felt as though someone was beating a drum directly beside my ears. My instincts were to cover my ears, but my arms wouldn't move when I tried. I tried not to panic, but it was growing increasingly difficult. I couldn't remember what was going on or where I was.What happened? I wanted to know, but no words would come out. I tried once more to straighten my head, only to be met with a brutal force, snapping my head to the side. I knew my vision was blurred without even atte
The Huntress 87. Peace Treaty
...Jace POV...The next hour was pure madness. The moment Damian informed me that he believed something was wrong, I couldn't help but think the same. I had explicitly instructed Asher not to get involved in this. He was supposed to be with Sienna. Taking some much-needed time off from work. Not dwelling further into this case. I don't know what p*ssed me off the most. The fact that Asher had gone behind my back, or the fact that he had dragged Sienna into this as well. Damian was going to blow a gasket the next time I saw him. Damian has always been more protective over Sienna than his sons. It wasn't because he was sexist or believed Sienna to be weak. But rather, he's nearly lost her too many times in the past. It was nothing short of a miracle she wasn't killed when Chase managed to trap Haley and Damian in Zane's apartment. Haley sustained numerous bullet wounds and nearly died. In fact, she technically did. The doctors pulled the plug on her as they realized that no medical int
The Huntress 86. Bitter Dispute
...Damian POV...After hanging up the phone with Hunter, I couldn't deny the worrying feeling he gave me. Something was off. First, Zach told me that he saw Sienna at Stone Johnson, of all places. I knew she was more involved with the medical side of the business. But she was supposed to be in England. As much as I wanted to assign her a guard, I knew she wouldn't go for it. Asher was the only one she actually took to. But even still, she found a way to escape him. Sienna is far more independent than I would like. Then as if that wasn't bad enough, I get a phone call from Hunter, of all people claiming that he received a notification from Stone Johnson. It didn't take a scientist to determine that the two instances couldn't be just a mere coincidence. Something had definitely happened. I just wasn't sure what. It also seemed as though Hunter was withholding information from me. Call it my paternal instincts, but I could tell something was up. Hunter wouldn't call me if nothing were
The Huntress 85. Compromised Position
...Asher POV...I wasn't sure what to make of what was happening. But I could tell from Everett's words that he was being sincere. Why else would he have woken me up? He had drugged me, rendering me unconscious. He had ample opportunity to kill me. He didn't have to wake me up, but he did, which meant that he was trying to help us. While I may not fully comprehend what was happening, I could tell Everett was nothing more than a pawn trapped in Silvio's plan. Until I knew what had happened to Sienna, I couldn't risk being found out. Everett had helped me by waking me up. At least this way, I could potentially form a plan. But most importantly, I needed to find out where Sienna was. I desperately hoped that she had managed to escape. But something inside me knew that wasn't the case. I just hoped they hadn't hurt her.I was practically kicking myself for allowing us to get caught in all of this. I was sure we had covered all of our bases. But we had forgotten about one important detail
The Huntress 84. Black Out
...Everett POV..."F*CK!" I shouted once Asher passed out before me.I couldn't believe what was happening. This was becoming so complicated. I never wanted anyone else to be involved with this. But the moment Sienna and Asher came here, I knew things were going to become drastically worse. I just hope there's something that can be done. I've been around Eli and Cole long enough to know that they won't allow anyone to mess up their plans.On the contrary, what they failed to realize was that they couldn't involve the Stone's without there being some form of retribution. I'm sure Damian has already been made aware of Sienna's presence at the facility if he didn't already know. He'll be the first one on our backs if Sienna goes missing. Damian is ruthless when it comes to business. He wouldn't hesitate to pull his funding and completely ruin everything I've spent decades working on. What I had told Asher was the truth. I started this business as a way to help my mom. People always say
The Huntress 83. Bad Feelings
...Hunter's POV...I had been on edge all day. The problem, though, was I had no idea why, but for some reason, I couldn't shake this feeling that something was wrong."¿Patron?" Javier calls out, grabbing my attention.I turn around to look at him, crossing my arms over my chest in hopes of steadying my heartbeat. It wasn't that his presence made me nervous, only that I felt as though I was walking on pins and needles, afraid that I would take the wrong step and trigger something. I couldn't explain why I was so on edge. I've been feeling like this for over a week now. But why? Nothing out of the ordinary was taking place here. Rather, it had been rather silent. I had already reclaimed my title, so no one even dared so much as talk out of turn. I made it painfully clear what I do to traitors. I eliminated every single person that had gone against me in one way or another. I even went as far as eliminating the families of all those involved, wiping out anyone that dared to cross my p
The Huntress 82. Desert Storm
"What? Nothing to say?" Everett asks, walking towards me to guide me out of his office. I feel his hand on my elbow, gently guiding me towards the door, which makes me realize I need to get it together. We've come too far to give up now. I can't just walk out empty-handed while Sienna is in with Eli."Wait." I call out, firming my feet along to the floor, preventing Everett from pushing me further."What is it? What could you possibly have to say that would change my mind? Are you going to add a sob story on Damian's behalf? Or perhaps your grandfather forced you to do this?" Everett asks with a curious brow as he awaits my possible excuse.I huff out in annoyance, knowing I no longer have any other options. Either I come clean now or risk never finding Silvio.I quickly reach into the waistband of my pants and grab my gun. I raise it quickly, preventing him from moving. However, to my surprise, Everett simply crosses his arms over his chest as if he was bored."I think it's time we h
