ANYA

Watching Hunter’s lips curve into a wicked smile, I instantly regretted every life choice that had led me to this moment.

"Darling, you’re quite clever," he said smoothly, his tone smug. "In the end, you chose an option you knew you’d enjoy."

"Enjoy?" My brows furrowed as confusion settled over me like a fog. "What on earth is he talking about?"

Hunter sauntered to his closet with the confidence of a man about to unveil a magic trick. When he turned around, I saw the tools....a black blindfold in one hand and a blue tie in the other.

My stomach flipped.

"Rest your back against the headboard," he told me, his voice low and commanding.

"Why?" I asked, my heart thudding loudly enough to drown out reason. "Aren’t you just going to....."

"Shh." He pressed a finger to my lips, his eyes gleaming with something I couldn’t quite place. Mischief? Sadistic glee? An odd fondness for tying people up?

"You’re not allowed to speak until we’re done here," he warned.

    ANYA I suddenly pulled away from Hunter's arm, my head spinning. "What just happened?" I asked myself, my thoughts a chaotic storm. "How had the man I hated made me feel so wonderful?" I was shocked and embarrassed, my emotions tumbling over one another. For a brief moment, it felt like I had become someone else entirely, someone unfamiliar. Yet, no matter how much I tried to deny it, one thing was certain: I had never felt such overwhelming bliss and euphoria in my entire life. Hunter rose from the bed, his movements slow and deliberate. My eyes unintentionally darted downward, widening at the sight of the unmistakable bulge between his legs. Heat rushed to my cheeks, and I quickly turned away, feeling mortified. He chuckled softly, the sound deep and smug. Walking over to the door, he unlocked it with a soft click. Leaning casually against the doorframe, he glanced back at me. "Go down the hallway," he said, his tone even, "second room on your right. That’s the dining r

    ANYA I walked into Hunter’s room as quietly as I could. My heart was beating so fast, I thought it might jump out of my chest. I glanced around nervously to make sure no one saw me. The air felt heavy, like something bad was about to happen. When I saw the cupboard, I froze. There were markings on it—two snake heads, their fangs bared, crossed together. The design glinted like gold under the dim light. My breath caught. “Why does Hunter have snake markings on his door and cupboard?” I whispered to myself. A cold shiver ran down my spine, but I forced myself to stay calm. I had to find something against him. I reached out and opened the cupboard. It wasn’t locked. That surprised me. Slowly, I pulled the doors apart and peeked inside and my eyes widened in horror. Guns. Knives. Weapons of all kinds. Some looked shiny and new, others dark and old, like they had seen a lot of blood. My stomach turned. But then I saw the jar. A transparent jar filled with blood. I gasped so lo

    ANYA Evans immediately hung up without saying another word, and I shut my eyes tight, afraid Hunter would realize I had been staring at him the entire time. I felt his gaze burn into me—sharp, assessing, and possessive. He lingered for what felt like forever before the weight on the mattress shifted, and I heard his footsteps retreat as he walked out of the room. The soft click of the door closing was a sound I never thought I’d appreciate so much. I let out a shaky breath and turned my head just enough to confirm he was gone. My phone was still beside me on the bed, screen dark and tempting. I grabbed it and sent a quick text to Evans: "See you at school tomorrow morning." After hitting send, I switched it off and set it aside. I forced my eyes shut, ignoring the pounding of my heart as I willed myself to sleep. It was a few hours later before sleep finally found me. The morning light crept into the room like an uninvited guest. I groaned and sat up, rubbing my face. Th

    ANYA I was just about to walk out of the house when Hunter’s voice stopped me in my tracks. “Hold on.” I froze, turning slowly. His expression was calm, but his eyes were anything but. His next words sent a shiver down my spine. “Do not take my next words for granted, Anya: You are my wife now, and I expect you to act like one.” His voice was low but commanding. “I am extremely jealous and possessive when it comes to things that belong to me... and you, Anya, belong to me.” The room felt smaller with every word he spoke. “Do not get close to any man other than me,” he continued, his eyes darkening. “That can end badly—for both the other man and you. Do you understand?” My heart pounded so hard I was sure he could hear it. My mind raced back to my conversation with Cross from last night. ~~~~~ “I’m in love with you, Anya,” Cross had said, his voice sounding raw and honest. Tears had welled up in my eyes as I tried to steady myself. “I’m so sorry for what happened

    ANYA The familiar voice made me turn just in time to see Evans striding toward me. Before I could react, he pulled me into a tight hug. I closed my eyes, breathing in the familiar scent of his cologne. For a brief moment, I felt safe. Evans was four years older than me, more like a brother than a friend. He had always been my protector in school, my rock since childhood. “I went to your house this morning but couldn’t find you,” he whispered, still holding me close. Before I could respond, a strong hand yanked Evans away from me with such force that he stumbled and fell to the ground. “Evans!” I gasped, stepping toward him. Evans looked stunned, his eyes wide as he tried to figure out what had just happened. I turned and saw one of Hunter’s bodyguards standing there, his face cold and impassive. My heart dropped when I saw Hunter standing behind him. His expression was unreadable, but the fury in his eyes was unmistakable. “Hunter, please...” Hunter raised a hand, si

  • Will You Marry Me?   014: Best Friend

    HUNTER I had expected my marriage with Anya to be interesting, but I never thought it would be so exhilarating. She was a delightful contradiction—sexy as hell, yet wrapped in an innocence that both thrilled and challenged me. Everything about her drew me in deeper, like a moth drawn to a deadly flame. Her naivety wasn’t a flaw, it was a blank canvas for me to paint every sinful desire I had. I could hardly wait to teach her all the dirty ideas swirling in my head. The time I caught her in my bedroom had been exciting. I could feel the fear that engulfed her as her eyes darted toward the cupboard. Of course, someone like her would be frightened by what was in there. But if she didn’t ask about it, I wasn’t going to volunteer any information. She brushed it off, acting as though it didn’t bother her. And when she knelt before me, begging for a chance to continue college, I knew there was more to it. A girl with grades as bad as hers wasn’t motivated by academics alone. No, her

    HUNTER I stared between Anya and Evans before waving at my bodyguards to bring Evans inside. They obeyed immediately, dragging him in without a word. I turned toward Anya, grabbed her hand gently but firmly, and led her to the living room. I gestured for her to sit on the couch across from me. She obeyed, though her eyes were wide with worry. Evans was forced to his knees by my men, facing me. I leaned back in my chair, my revolver spinning lazily in my hand. The metallic clicks echoed in the room. I pointed the gun at Evans and smirked. "You call my wife at odd hours and hug her in public under the excuse of being her best friend?" Evans blinked like a deer caught in headlights. "You... you were the one who answered Anya's call last night?" I let out a mocking scoff. "Why are you so slow? No wonder you're falling behind in your studies, Anya. This is the kind of company you keep?" Anya’s lips pressed into a tight line. "He... he’s very intelligent," she muttered defe

    ANYA Standing on the balcony, I watched as Hunter’s car sped down the long driveway. His sleek, black car was like a shadow fading into the distance, but the tension in my chest lingered. "Goat? Yam?" I muttered bitterly, shaking my head. "How can a man be so narrow-minded in this day and age?" The wind whipped around me, tugging at my hair, but it wasn’t enough to cool the fire building under my skin. I felt trapped in a cruel joke. The entire school must have heard about Hunter’s display by now. Gossip spreads faster than wildfire when it’s laced with scandal. Tomorrow, I’d walk through those halls as "the girl who married Hunter Steele." And suddenly I’d be famous for all the wrong reasons. And Cross... oh, Cross. It would make even a simple conversation with him feel like climbing Everest barefoot. How was I going to approach him without a storm of rumors brewing around us? I pulled out my phone and scrolled through my contacts until I found Evans’ name. I hesitated f

    ANYA My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn’t understand why. As I stared into Hunter’s intense eyes, it felt like the rest of the world had disappeared. Nothing else mattered in that moment. “I've never felt this way about anyone else before, Anya. It's the first time in my life that I can't imagine living in a world without someone—you," he said, his voice deep and steady. The words sent a shiver down my spine. 'He’s really in love with me,' I thought to myself, a mix of emotions swirling in my chest. My mind flashed back to the evening I’d proposed to him at the bar. I remembered the way he had looked at me, his eyes filled with a mixture of surprise and amusement, and how he’d said, “Yes, I’ll marry you,” without hesitation. “Hunter, I…” I began, unsure of what I wanted to say. Before I could finish, he pressed a finger to my lips, silencing me. “Shhh,” he said softly, his voice barely above a whisper. He cupped my face gently, pulling me closer until our forehead

    ANYA As I heard Hunter’s voice outside the restroom, my hands trembled so badly I nearly dropped my phone. Without wasting a second, I hung up the call, shoved the phone deep into my bag, and opened the door. “Hey, Hunter,” I said, forcing a smile that I prayed looked natural. Hunter’s gaze softened as he stepped closer. Without warning, he cupped my face and gave me a quick kiss. “What happened?” I asked, my voice shaky despite my efforts to stay calm. “Nothing,” he replied casually, though his eyes scanned my face like he was searching for something. “It’s just that you were taking a little too long. I guess I missed you.” His words caught me off guard, but I quickly recovered. “Well, I’m done here,” I said. “Let’s go.” Hunter smiled and took my hand, leading me back toward the hall. When we reentered the room, I froze at the sight before me. Manuel, the blond-haired one, had two nearly naked women draped over him, each sitting on one of his thighs. His grin was as w

    ANYA The tension in the room was suffocating, and I wasn’t sure whether to run or stand my ground. My heart was racing, my palms damp with nervousness. These weren’t just men....they exuded a level of power that was both intimidating and overwhelming. One of the three men, brown haired, who hadn't said a word, suddenly stood and spoke in a calm yet commanding voice. “Cut it out, guys.” He walked over to Hunter, his movements deliberate, and gently took the gun from his hand. Hunter hesitated for a moment, his jaw tight, before reluctantly releasing his grip on the weapon. The blond-haired man; Manuel, as I would later learn, smirked, seemingly unbothered by the near-death experience. Hunter glared at him, his eyes sharp and unrelenting, before turning his attention to me. “Everyone,” Hunter said, his voice firm. “This is my wife, Anya Steele.” The room went silent. Manuel’s eyes widened in shock, and he let out a dramatic gasp. “You got married? Oh my God!” He quickly tu

    ANYA My mind raced as I thought about everything; my plans, my secrets, and the tangled web of lies I’d created. Bernice, Cross, Evans… the weight of it all pressed down on me, making my chest feel tight. Tears brimmed in my eyes, and I could no longer hold them back. I turned to Hunter, my voice trembling. “I want to go back, Hunter. I want to go back to San José.” He frowned, his brow furrowing in confusion. “But why?” “I need to go back to school,” I said earnestly, trying to keep my voice steady. Hunter’s expression softened, and he smiled, as if my request was adorable. “Come on, cherie,” he said gently. “If I brought you here, it means everything back home is taken care of. Your education is covered. I’ve already put someone in your place who will keep your grades perfect while we’re away.” I stared at him, stunned. “You… replaced me? How could you.....” “It’s a win for you,” he said, cutting me off, his tone reassuring. “You don’t need to stress about school, so s

  • Will You Marry Me?   033: Where Am I?

    ANYA “Where the hell am I?” I muttered, my voice shaky as I sat up on the bed. My eyes darted around the unfamiliar room, taking in the white-colored walls, the plush white bedding, and the luxurious decor that looked nothing like Hunter’s usual style. I swung my legs off the bed, my heart pounding as I tried to make sense of everything. Was I still in Hunter’s house? The room felt so different, almost too perfect. Before I could spiral any further, my phone buzzed, the sound pulling my attention to the bedside table. I sighed in relief when I spotted it. I must have been shifted to a new room by Hunter. Picking up the phone, I noticed it was my brother calling. For a brief moment, the familiarity of his name on the screen grounded me. I answered quickly. “Hey.” “Anya!” His voice was warm but carried a hint of concern. “Just wanted to check on you. You okay?” “Yeah,” I replied, though my voice lacked conviction. “I’m fine. Why wouldn’t I be?” He hesitated before respon

  • Will You Marry Me?   032: Hunter's Plan

    HUNTER Last night, as I lay in bed beside Anya, I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She looked so peaceful, her chest rising and falling steadily, her face soft and serene in the glow of the dim light. She had no idea how much she had changed me, how far I had gone for her. As I watched her sleep, my mind drifted back to the day that had set all of this in motion. I remembered the bar, the music, and then Anya....standing before me asking me to marry her. At the time, I thought she was insane. Who proposes to a man they barely know? But her courage and Beauty had intrigued me, so I agreed. What I didn’t expect was the whirlwind that followed. I recalled the day I went to her house shortly before we got married. I overheard her talking to her parents about a guy named Cross, saying she loved him and couldn’t live without him. Hearing those words felt like a knife to my chest. It wasn’t jealousy—I barely knew her then—but it was the principle. She had proposed to me, yet her hear

    BERNICE I woke up to the faint light streaming through the curtains. For a moment, I lay there, my head pounding and my body heavy, trying to shake off the haze that clouded my mind. As I sat up, the memories of the past week came rushing back, and I winced. As I vividly recalled that slap. My father’s voice thundered in my head as clearly as if it had just happened. “How could you be so incompetent?” he had roared, his hand striking my cheek so hard I’d stumbled back. I hadn’t even had time to respond before my brother, Cross, stepped forward, trying to defend me. “Come on, Dad...” But he hadn’t even finished his sentence before he got slapped too. “Shut the hell up!” our father barked, his glare cutting through both of us. He turned back to me, his face red with anger. “You had one job. Just one! Make Hunter Steele yours, and you couldn’t even do that. How could you let some random girl push her way to him? I am so disappointed in you.” My cheeks burned, not just fro

  • Will You Marry Me?   030: I Enjoyed It

    ANYA When Hunter asked me if I wanted to stay the night, it felt like the world had come crashing down around me. My breath caught as the gravity of what had just happened between us hit me like a wave. What had I done? I wanted to say no. I wanted to run out of his room, away from his intense gaze and the overwhelming feelings he stirred in me. But then, a sharp thought reminded me why I had to stay no matter what. I had to plant the cameras. I wasn't sure if I would get the chance to get back into his room. So I forced myself to nod, my voice barely steady. “Yes… yes, I would.” Hunter’s smile was soft but knowing, and I felt a strange mixture of relief and unease. I told myself to focus. First, I had to get Bernice back into the house. She was my priority. Hunter turned to his closet and pulled out a set of pajamas for himself. I rolled my eyes when I realized they matched mine....pink and white, with the same delicate floral pattern. The coincidence felt too intimate, but

    ANYA I don’t know why hearing him say "please" felt like he had cast a spell on me, and the walls I’d tried so hard to keep up began to crumble. My mind screamed at me to stop, but my body moved on its own. My trembling fingers wrapped around his cock, warm and hard, and I began to stroke him slowly. Hunter groaned, a deep, guttural sound that sent shivers down my spine. He leaned forward, his lips crashing onto mine with a hunger that made my head spin. His hands gripped my waist, pulling me closer as our kiss deepened, messy and desperate. I felt his body tense under my touch as I continued stroking him, his breaths ragged against my lips. Every moan he let out was like fuel to my fire, igniting something wild and uncontrollable inside me. Suddenly, Hunter pulled back, his eyes dark with desire, his chest heaving. “This won’t do,” he muttered, his voice husky and strained. Before I could ask what he meant, he swept me off the ground like I weighed nothing. A startled gasp
