Anna Harris It has been twelve hours since Hunter and other have gone on the mission to save my father from his enemies' vicious clutches. The only image of him getting hurt or even worse dead in police custody shakes my heart but at the same time my heart also feel worried for Hunter.This gamble might risk his own life. Would I be able to forgive myself if something happnes to him because he went on a mission to save my father?Absolutely no!I don't realise when and how Hunter creeps his way to my heart in a less span of time. I don't know if I love him but I am sure that I don't hate him either.I never mattered to someone like Hunter worships me. He adores me and all he wants is to keep me and my loved ones safe but what about him?I clutch my chest as an unsettling feeling brew inside my heart. Something is noticeably off, I know this hollow feeling. It is stupid of me to worry about the one of the trained and dangerous mafia leader's safety but I can help but grow impatient wi
Anna Harris "Anna! You're being mislead by the Storms. I didn't do anything. I am sure he fed you lies about your own family." Dad says or I say trying to cover his own sins."Please stop lying, Dad. I have seen the proofs and nobody has manipulated me. So, don't start with lies. You got this new life because Hunter decided to save you. You should feel grateful than accusing him." I snap at him. My anger is loosing on a thin cord. I love him but I can't stand his sight.He is responsible for Hunter's scarred childhood. He snatched a child's happiness, the only source of affection; his mother from him."Please save it for your dear wife and others who believe in your shits, Dad because I am ruined as the payment of your past crimes. You destoryed Benjamin or your gang and look, who is paying," I point my finger between myself and Aiden." Your own children, us." Tears fill in my eyes."Anna, please give me a chance to explain everything. Nathanial Storm is a vile monster who ditched ou
Hunter Storm It is past four in the morning when I return to the farmhouse, secretly, covered a distance of three miles through the rocky shore just to be sure that I wasn't being followed. Blake had gone through an emergency surgery to stop the bleeding and stitch the internal wounds but he's out of danger for now, that's a relief. I left him under the vigilance of my men to fullfil my promise to Anna.I have to make a safe extraction of her parents before the sunrise and we hardly have one and a half hour to execute final phase of my plan. I walk out of the bushes and Brady's alert gun is what I am greeted by."It's me, Brady." I whisper to him before a commotion breaks out in the silence of my house."Sorry Boss, I thought it was the same creepy animal whose amber eyes frightened me throughout the night." He lowers his gun and wipe the sweat off his forehead causing me to chuckle."The big Brady boy is afaid of a petty animal!" I pat his shoulder."What if it's a jaguar or worse a
Anna Harris Saying goodbye to my parents was the hardest thing to do. I don't know when next we would see each other or probably never. I saw affection and regret in my father's eyes for the first time. He was my father in that moment.On the other hand, my Mom only cried for Aiden like I wasn't even present there. I don't understand why she hates me so much. We weren't like this before, at least she cared for us though she's fwr from an ideal mother yet she took care of me.It hurts when your own blood treats you indifferently and now I can understand how Hunter must have felt whenever his father shows his cruel side towards his own son.At least, my Dad loves me but Hunter grew in the absence of an affectionate parent. He was marred by his cruel destiny."Anna, you should take some rest." Hunter's voice interrupts my solitary moment. I quickly wipe my tears and turn to look at the man who fulfilled his promise leaving no room in my brain to doubt his intentions. He had every single
Anna HarrisTwo days passed in blurr. To be honest, I begin to grow bore and tired of sitting all alone and having nothing to do other than my new designs on papers and some on the line. The date of my enrollment in the Louis Vuitton is approaching nearer and my anxiety grows parallal to it. I get to see Hunter rarely that's mostly during the dinner time as the marriage thing catches up him busy or he's trying to come across me lesser and lesser like he's tryito hide something from me.'Don't overthink, Anna. He has multiple jobs on his platter that need his attention prior to you.' My heart scolds me whenever a negative thought kisses my brain.I glance at the clock on the wall, it shows past six in the evening. My muscles turns sore due to sitting in a straight position for hours. My eyes started burning. I need a break from my over exertion. Stretching my arms to relieve the tension in my muscles, I yawn. I find no one to talk or do on my own. The maids make sure that I don't have
Anna Harris "What was that?"I arch my brows at Hunter in a challenging manner. The dinner was over a while ago and the great Mrs. Barbara Storm is sleeping in the guestroom at the far end. Rochelle will be sharing my room as we must discuss on our overall appearance at the engagement party which starts from the jewelries as the boutique will be handling our dress and footwears.He releases a deep breath and looks at me with those green eyes with freckles of ocean blue. They always force me to drown myself in their beauty.Grab a hold of your emotions, Anna.I scold myself and cross my arms across my chest,"I asked you a question, Mr. Hunter Storm. What the hell was that? I mean I have been informed, sorry commanded by your grandmother that we'll be getting engaged day after tomorrow!" I scoff in disbelief."Anna, please calm down. I know it's a bit unfair on your part. You must be told first or I say we've taken your consent but the circumstances are against us. I have kept you away
Anna Harris "You're looking breathtaking in this dress, Ma'am. Now we understand why Mr. Storm couldn't take his eyes off this dress when he picked it for you. He imagined you in this gown and I must say, your beauty did justice with it." The young assistant of Mrs. Freya, the owner of boutique compliments me.I blush a deep red. She's right. I can't recognize myself in the giant mirror. The off white dress with pearls in embroidery is a masterpiece by the hands of skilled craftsmen. It hugs my body on all the right curves like it was custom made for me. The pearl necklace set and sapphire bracelet of Mrs. Hannah Storm matches it perfectly."I will never forgive my cousin for stealing this dress before my eyes could catch it." Rochelle pouts."Your dress is more prettier, Roch." I praise her and I'm not wrong, her almond colored mermaid gown with a long slit on right thigh shows her perfect curves and smooth caramel leg. Both the gowns are unique and single piece."We're thirty minut
Anna Harris I stare at the huge diamond sitting on my third finger with twenty four tiny pink diamonds surrounding the solitaire in platinum band's lustre is blinding. It must have cost him a fortune. It makes me feel suffocated. It came with it's aftermath, a role to play, a duty to fulfill.The chatter of guests is pushed back in my mind. All I do is to wonder why media didn't say a word about the controversy. I am a famous face for the people of New York since the night at hotel but they treated me nicely and even complimented my looks.Does Hunter threaten them to treat me respectfully or the Storm is a name, they fear to mess up with? In either case, I am relived to some extent."Hey, are you alright?" Hunter's voice snaps me out of my off zone. I look up at him whose face has a different aura since he slipped this ring on my finger claiming me as his in front of all the powerful people in the mafia."I needed a strong drink to adjust myself among the most dangerous criminals in
