Chasing Anna Chapter - [ 66 ]
Anna Harris "Where have you been, Hunter?" I ask the man who came home drunk and hardly keeping his eyes open, dangled on the living sofa. The strong stench of alcohol causes bile to rise in my throat but I try my best to control it as Hunter needs me right now. He looks wasted and hurt emotionally. "Hunter, wake up. You need to sober up." I pat his cheek but all I receive is a slurry reply from him which hardly make any sense to me. "Hunter..." I use softer tone this time. His green eyes depict the pain in his heart. "Why did he..do this..to me?" He murmurs before he completely passed out. I sigh in defeat. Rubbing my aching temples, I get up on my feet to bring a blanket for him but then something popped up in my mind and instead of fetching a blanket, I make my way to the guards who has concern laced on their faces but due to their bound to only guard the house, they hadn't said anything. "Umm..would you help me to take him to my room?" I ask them not being sure what answer

Anna Harris I found the spot next to me empty when I woke up late in the morning. The scenes from last night replay in my mind not because we had wild sex but his distant behavior. He looked totally lost even if I did my best to lift up his guards, he's broken beyond repair. Each muscle in my body pain horribly but I did my morning chores quickly and collect my required stuffs to finish the last design for my portfolio as tomorrow, I am going to step in a new phase of my life, the LV workshop. I and Hunter haven't talked about it since he handed me the letter of invitation and looking at the current circumstances, I must ask him again whether it's safe for me to start my workshop or postpone my dreams for a temporary, indefinite timeline. "Wow! These designs are incredible." Rochelle's exclamation brings a smile on my face. "I don't think so, I mean I worked on this dress multiple times but I am not getting the satisfaction. I feel there's something I'm missing." I point at a red b

Anna Harris The sheets beside me looks barely wrinkled which means Hunter didn't come to his room last night or he didn't return home at all. The oddly feeling of him being in a trouble settles deep in my heart. I hardly slept last night after the threat call from Benjamin. I tried calling Hunter after that but his phone was continuously switched off, I waited for him until eleven in the night and retired to my room only when I lost all hopes of seeing him. Throwing the blanket off my body, I rub my burning eyes to get rid off the exhaustion and rush to bathroom to do my morning chores before trying to reach Hunter. I need to tell him about this as soon as possible. I can't hide this important detail from him. I brush my teeth and take a quick shower before heading in the direction of kitchen where I find Hunter facing his back to me, he's fetching coffee. "Hunter..."I whisper his name which was enough for him to turn his face to me. "Hey, good morning." He greets me with a smile

Anna Harris"Just do it, Anna if you're ready or we can wait. I'll put your phone on tap to locate him. I want to be extra sure if things go south. I can't take any chance with your safety." Hunter says."I'll be fine, Hunter and it just a phone call, okay." I assure him.He drags his chair closer to me and holds my hands," Anna, I am already feeling terrible to put you in this situation. Please, don't take anything lightly in your over confidence. People do make mistakes in their overly confident attitude and end up dead. Benjamin is smarter than our imagination, I'd give him the credit. We'd be fortunate if he doesn't sniff our plan to trap him. I am afraid, Anna. I can't picture you dead. " He grimace, the same visible in his eyes."Says the man who is fearless and never hesitate to face bullets." I roll my eyes on him, he's acting like a mother hen since I told him about the phone call."You must be on active hypersensitive mode if you are living in the mafia world, Anna, one of

Hunter Storm"It looks like he has planned it all verh neatly. Just look at this man. He entered in a public toilet and never came out. How is it possible?" Brady scratches his beard as we stare at the laptop screen in front of us.Brandon pulled his strings with his father in law who helped him to get access in the server of traffic control. The footage from around the park captured a very blurr image of Benjamin in a hoodie and a cap on and black shades to hide his identity properly. He maintains a very normal posture so no one could suspect him and after walking through a few blocks, he entered in a public toilet and never came out. Our men scanned the toilet and there's no secret exit door."Is he a ghost? I mean where is he gone if he doesn't come out until five minutes ago. Our men has been guarding the whole area. They didn't catch any unsual activities as well." Brandon says thoughtfully."Or there's a strong possibility that we're not looking into it with our full focus."I fi
