Chasing Anna Chapter - [ 34 ]
Anna Harris I haven't slept a dreamless yet peaceful sleep in years. I can roughly count since my grandmother died ten years ago. She used to pat my hairs until my eyes give up and tuck me in the bed even though I was a grown up teenager. Last night I felt the same peace being in the arms of a stranger. I shouldn't call him a stranger though, we have crossed that boundary long ago and now the sexual tension is too high.He made love to me throughout the night and in the bathroom yet my body is aching for him. He turned me into an addictive for him, for the magic he do with my body.My thoughts comes to a halt when I hear a knock on the library door. I flinch by the sudden disturbance but compose myself as soon as a strong feminine perfume fills my nostrils.Oh I hate this brand even though it's expensive. I turn to look at the person, a young woman precisely, not some ordinary woman but a true epitome of heavenly beauty. I am stricken by the sight of her. Don't get me wrong, I am str

Anna HarrisI stare at his face to read why he's so worried for my safety, it just a humanity instinct or he cares for me more than just a fellow human being."Answer me, Anna. Did she say something mean to you or hurt you?" His jaws are tightly clench when he asks me about my encounter with his ex-fiancee."No, she didn't hurt me in either way, Hunter. She came here to see you but left immediately when she didn't find you here." I lie bluntly on his face."Are you sure?" He scrunches his brows, clearly he doesn't believe a word I said."Yes, she only checked here and went away without saying any mean word to me." I lie again but my heart wants me to tell him about her hostility and sermon."I hope you're telling me the truth because I won't spare her if she tries to take vengeance on you just because I dumped her for my own reasons." He seems relieved but not sure if I told him the truth."Dump is a derogatory word, Hunter. She's a woman and needs respect. You broke her heart and hum

Anna Harris"Do not talk unless he asks you a question. He's not a man you would like to meddle. He plays mind games with his preys." Hunter says as the car slows down when a beautiful mansion comes in the view, surrounded by huge walls and an iron gate where a dozen armed guards are posted."You're not helping me, Hunter." I let out the breath that I had been holding."I am just warning you beforehand. Please avoid talking about your father if he asks you." He glances over me."Hunter, can I ask you something?" I look at him and muster up the courage to question him how Nathaniel Storm find out about me.He nods his head in a motion to allow me to speak."You said that nobody except your cousins and Blake knows that I'm staying with you then how does your father know about it?"He stares at me but remain silent and it increases my anxiety."Hunter, I'm asking you something." I repeat with more impatient tone."Have patience, Anna. All your questions will be answered shortly." He says

Anna Harris "Liam Harris, your father and I used to be friends a long ago, long before we step into the mafia business and eventually fell in love with the same woman, my wife but at that time, she was a mutual friend." Nathaniel says, a sad emotion flashes through his cold eyes when he mentions Hunter's mother but what stung more that my Dad loved a woman truly, it sounds weird.
