Chasing Anna Chapter- [ 17 ]
Anna Harris The early morning encounter with Hunter was totally unexpected but somewhere in the corner of my heart I felt relived after I saw him. He is back home. Rochelle kept me a good company throughout the day but when she told me about Hunter having a fiance and they're about to get married in the next week, I feel myself again sinking in the depth of darkness from where I can't see the light at the end.In less than forty eight hours, Hunter slipped through the barriers I built around me when Benjamin betrayed me. I always trusted people easily, not able to see through their deceptive faces but his betrayal taught me a lesson that I should not trust someone so blindly because when they break it, they break your heart and kill your soul.But I can't pull myself to distrust Hunter. He gave me no reason to doubt his intentions. He's the one who brought my father and Benjamin's truth in light.I trust him but I don't trust myself. It's impossible to stay sane whenever he's around

Hunter StormThe heavy silence in the air where no one speaks a word, only the sound of forks and knives clicking against the china plate can be heard.

Hunter Storm "Well, the day can end in two ways, Keith, that's your name, am I right?" I lean back on the edge of table behind me and let out a puff of my cigarette. I know how I want the day to end but I give him the first choice.The man, tied in on the chair with ropes, his face battered after a brutal punching, in a hardly recognizable state, glares me with his swollen purple eyes."Blake, he isn't speaking and here I am dying to hear his godly voice." I always love to add dramatic scenes while dealing with my enemies and the man sitting in front of me almost cost us Brandon and Rochelle's life two weeks ago."Boss, he hasn't said a word since we caught him. I think he prefer dying than saying a word about his master." Blake says.I take another whiff of the cigarette and tower my body over the beaten man, holding the arms of chair," What is he saying, Keith? You haven't said a word?" I release the smoke on his face causing him to cough badly.I feel immense pleasure to see the f

I ask him in the same playful tone."C'mon Brand, you can't stop hitting on her. How does this friendship idea pop in your mind when all you are planning on to take her in your room and-" Before she can complete the sentence, I clamp my palm on her mouth.I want the earth to swallow me alive. Mrs. Storm is right, this woman surely need to filter her manners, not for her married life but also for the others who aren't comfortable with such boldness."I really want to be more than friends with her but I see she's out of my league, so I am settled on friendship." He answers his sister but his gaze is stuck on me."I would really like to be friends with you, Brandon. You're the first guy who doesn't want to get into my pants." I smile at him.A grin breaks on his handsome face, showing his dimples. He raise his beer can to toss for our new friendsh
