Chasing Anna Chapter- [ 22 ]
Anna Harris Pressing on the door bell, I stand impatient with a million butterflies doing a whirlwind movement inside my stomach. Suddenly, the time seems to pass slower or I am just too excited to meet my loved ones after three days. It is the longest span of time that I've been apart from them unless I used to go on trips with my friends.How's my Mom and her drinking habits?How's Aiden coping up with this new changes in our lives? Money is certainly a big issue for us and being only twenty one and still a college student, it's harder for him to take care of both our Mom and himself.I press it again as no one opens the door, now my anxiety is reaching to another level."You should release the stress, Miss Harris, they're doing fine." I hear Blake saying, who is standing just two feet away from me.I crane my neck backward to give him a quizzical look," How do you know about their wellbeing, Mr. Blake?" I raise my brow," Don't tell me that your Boss has been spying on my family as

Anna Harris "Anna, who told you all this and more importantly who is Mr. Solares?" Aiden's suspecious eyes lingers between us.Here comes the hardest part. How am I going to tell him that a stranger offered me a helping hand when I had nowhere to go, nobody to give me a shelter. That stranger is no ordinary man but a rich businessman of the states.Hunter freaking Storm."Blake works for Hunter Storm, the man who gave me protection and more importantly a roof over my head when everyone turns their back on me including our Mom." I wince at the last part."Hunter Storm?" He blinks his eyes again, disbelief is all I can decipher from the mixed emotions playing on his face."Yes, Hunter Storm, I walked into him in the same night when-" I pause and swallow the lump in my throat, it's still hard for me to recite those moments."Anna, are you trying to say that Hunter Storm, the billionaire bad guy appeared from nowhere and offered you his help in the exchange of nothing?" He asks."I know

Anna HarrisWhen I enter in the penthouse with Blake on my tail, it's ghostly silenced and a familiar coldness mixed in a certain warmth is lingering in the air means Hunter has returned from his work. He usually comes back after ten or perhaps in midnight. Now I understand what are the possible reasons of his late coming. "Boss wants to see you in his office." Blake says to me thus snapping me out of my morbid thoughts. "How do you know that he wants me in his office. You just entered here with me?" I arch my brow at him curiously. "There is a device called phone, Miss Harris." He replies with sarcasm.I look down in embarrassment. It was stupid of me to ask him a very irrelevant question. "Please come with me." He signals me to follow him to upstairs. I quietly trail behind him but my brain isn't at peace. I need some answers and today I am going to get them from him. I am just tired of being played by everyone in my life. The first floor has two wings, left and right. The rig

Anna Harris "I was the man with whom you spent the most beautiful moment of your life, Anna. I was the man who stole your virginity but at the same moment you stole something equally precious from me, my heart.""Is this one of your sick jokes, Mr. Storm?" I let out a low growl. What does he think of himself?"Do I look like I am joking, Anna?" His green eyes turns dark and for a moment, I can see a storm forming behind those beautiful orbs.Oh fuck! He isn't joking but he was the man who drove me to a different land, those memories which I can't erase. Those enchanting green eyes belongs to him and the familiar warmth. He has been in front of me from the very next day but how could I not recognize him?Tears brim in the back of my eyes but I strongly hold them back."Listen, Anna." He rise from his chair like a majestic king and rounds his way to my side but his mere presence around me forces me to feel opposite emotions of fear and attraction."I don't want to remember anything fr

Hunter StormThe air in the dining hall of my father's mansion is thick. The women on the table sit nervously staring at the men who are also watching the stare challenge between me and my Dad. Nathanial Storm aka my Dad maintains his stance as his crosses his arms over his chest trying to look intimidating. The rest of the people are actually peeing in their pants but not me.If someone asks me who I hate the most right now, the answer would be the man sitting on the head's seat, burning holes in the rest of the family members by his icy cold eyes, oxymoron here."How this absurd idea even crossed your mind that you'd cancel the marriage just before five days, Hunter Storm?" He asks in a threatening tone."Marrying Valentina Barnes have never been my idea since the beginning if you remember clearly, Father. It was you who brought it upon me and now I can't suffer alone.

Brandon whispers."Trust me brother, you'll be getting the most of the advantage of my preposition." I response in whisper."Don't test my patience, Hunter.
