The Huntress 51. Yin Yang
The sound of the elevator rings out as we reach the top floor. The door opens up to a private suite. I usher Mingmei into the suite and make my way to the kitchen. I can feel Mingmei's eyes in the back of my head as her eyes glare at me."What are we doing here?" She asks.I walk over to the fridge and pour myself a glass of water. I raise the glass with a tilt, gesturing to her if she would like some as well. However, she simply rolls her eyes and flips me off. I ignore her antics and take a sip of water as I make my way to the living room. I pause in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over the city. I take another sip of water as my gaze looks to the distance, not focusing on anything in particular."Waiting." I reply."For what?""For your dad to carry out his end of the deal.""And if he doesn't?""We've been over this.""But what happens if my dad goes to the cops instead? You are holding me hostage, after all. What makes you think my dad hasn't already gone to
The Huntress 52. Time is Money
A few days later, a notification alerted me that my plan had worked. The money that Lucas had wired to the account had been withdrawn at a bank in the Cayman Islands. Finally, after all this time, I had a lead."Wakey, wakey, Princess." I shouted as I walked into the main living room. Mingmei was asleep on the couch, and from the looks of it, she didn't have the best night's sleep. I tried to control my laughter, knowing full well that the princess wasn't accustomed to such a frugal lifestyle. I know the sight shouldn't make me laugh, but I couldn't help it. Mingmei was extremely pampered. She had no idea how to live in a world where people didn't bow down to her every command.I hoped that this experience would change her for the better. If she truly wanted to become a doctor, she would need to get that chip off her shoulder. Otherwise, she'd never make it. A patient doesn't care how big the doctor's ego is. They only care about getting better. A person's ego has never been able to s
The Huntress 53. Upper Hand
The flight to the Cayman Islands was nearly twenty hours long, so I wanted to make sure I was prepared before the plane landed. I wanted to have a game plan so the moment we arrived, I would be able to run off the plane and begin my search for whoever withdrew the money. I just hoped this wouldn't be a dead end. Who knows the next time we'll get a lead like this?After spending several hours sifting through footage from earlier in the day, I finally found what I was looking for. I couldn't tell who it was that had taken the money, only that it definitely wasn't Silvio.I managed to find out that it was a woman that withdrew the money, but I had no idea who they were. The moment that I realized that it wasn't Silvio that withdrew the money, I was instantly deflated. Thinking that somehow Silvio managed to find out that I had traced him. But I couldn't let that get me down. I was already partway to the Cayman Islands. I might as well check it out to confirm that the person had no relati
The Huntress 54. Distant Memories
...Hunter POV...Nearly a year has gone since the last time I saw Sienna. Each day was harder than the last. I hoped that staying away from her would be for the best. She didn't remember me anyways. So I shouldn't destroy her life by pursuing her now. Our memories together would have to be enough since there wouldn't be any new ones in the future.I downed my glass of aguardiente and placed the glass back on my desk, eyeing it as if it would tell me all of life's answers when Tomás walked into my office. Tomás made a remarkable recovery once the effects of the drugs Kevin had given him had left his system. He lost a few years of his life but acted as carefree as someone that had the best childhood. I loved the resiliency in him. No matter what life did to knock him down, he always stood tall and brushed it off as nothing more than an obstacle. This kid had so much to be resentful of, but not once did his smile falter. Even when he was on what we presumed to be his deathbed, he always
The Huntress 55. Silence is Bliss
...Sienna POV..."We both know that you're not going to kill me. If you were, you would've already taken the shot. But you need me alive." I choose not to respond knowing that regardless of what I say or don't she's already proved her point. If I were here to kill her, she would've been dead the moment I activated the EMP."If you really think the possibility of being shot and killed with my own gun scares me, then you're in for a world of hurt. I hate to break it to you, but I've had enough guns in my face over the years that I no longer fear them." The woman states as she walks towards the far side of the room to pour herself a drink. She opens the mini fridge and pulls out a tiny bottle of vodka before downing it straight."Ahhh." She remarks as the liquid burns her throat."Do you want one?" She asks, handing me another tiny bottle. However, I remain unmoving, making sure to have the exits covered. She may know my intentions, but I won't let her escape, not when I just found her.
The Huntress 56. Custody Battle
...Ash POV...Ever since Silvio escaped the FBI, I hadn't gone on any new missions. Damian hired extra security to keep an eye on his family. Which meant my role as Sienna's bodyguard was made obsolete. Until Jace reassigned me, I was working alongside him to help locate Silvio. In the span of a year, we had practically used up our entire budget and resources to try and find him. We were no further ahead. It was unbelievable how someone could manage to avoid us so well. We had everyone working overtime on this project. Until further notice, Silvio was the most wanted man, dead or alive. Every task centre was focused on finding anything that could lead us to his location. But after a year, our budget was running tight, and our resources were thinning by the second. The New York senator wanted results. Not only did he not like how long this task was taking to achieve, but he hated how little we had to show for it. We were no further ahead than we were a year ago at this time. It was ex
The Huntress 57. Night Hawk
...Maverick POV...I was working in my office when I heard my dad's angry voice emanating from his office. I knew I shouldn't snoop, but I couldn't tame my curiosity. My dad is quite normally calm and collected, especially at the office. The only time he's not is when it has to do with one of us. My sister, particularly, based on what's happened. My sister has always been my father's princess. But with the attack and her kidnapping, his reigns on her have become so tight that I'm surprised she can even breathe. If it weren't for the twins, my dad would've locked her in the house and ensured no one could ever get to her again. But the twins stood by her, knowing how unhappy that would make SIenna, and offered to keep watch over her instead. I know they've been allowing her to have a lot more freedom than my father was aware of, but I wouldn't out her. I may be her overprotective older brother, but even I know when to take a step back. Sienna and the twins are much more alike than any o
The Huntress 58. Contingency
"So what happened?" I ask, trying hard not to show how irritated I was by him not getting straight to the point."Someone broke into my house." He begins, making my eyes go wide."What? Are you ok? Did they get anything? Do you know what they were after?" I explode in a whirlwind of questions."Mav..." My dad comments, turning his gaze to me in a discreet way of saying 'shut up'.I nod my head and signal for Asher to continue."As I was saying, someone broke into my house. However, instead of taking anything, they left something, or rather, someone behind." Asher commented, making my eyebrows furrow in confusion."What is that supposed to mean?" I ask, once again getting an annoyed look from my father, instantly silencing me from asking any further questions and interrupting Asher further."Have either of you heard of the Huntress?" Asher asks instead, making me furrow my brows in more confusion."No. Should we have?" I ask, looking to my father, who seconds my answer."I had a feelin
