[Hunter]

My world is on fire, again. Grant Manor is aflame, the alley behind the house scorched. Burned bodies are barely more than soot lying like victims of an apocalypse as nearby buildings smolder. My home is gone.

And somewhere inside that mess is Livy…and Vanessa.

“Breathe,” I remind myself, focusing on my meditation, closing my eyes briefly as I count to ten slowly in my mind. “Breathe.”

As I step out of the car, the sound of sirens ring through the night as emergency vehicles rush to the scene. They are already swarming the blocks beyond, held back from my property as BLACKEAGLE’s second wave begins cleaning the mess and evidence. We can’t have the police muddying up the scene before our people can collect any evidence or survivors.

In my race to get here, I took every shortcut, the sound of BLACKEAGLE's com system ringing through my car. I could hear every moment as the van rushed to the scene. I heard the screams as my second and his men burned to a crisp in the white van

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 218

    Reggie drove me not over to his place, like I was expecting, but to Katie’s place on the upper west side. I hadn’t been there before, partly because it was a rough neighborhood, and partly because I had never been invited. Katelyn Rose and her twin brother Ace were a bit of a mystery. The Rose family wasn’t one of the illustrious clans of New York, but they had more than enough money and influence to have their children in one of the finest private academies in the state. I’ve been told that for ordinary folk, the waiting list to get in was so long that people signed their children up in utero.Katie and Ace were never flashy or tacky, never showing off their cash, but always had the best of everything. Poor kids, no matter how lucky, can’t afford $3,000 leather loafers and bespoke uniforms to wear to school. But nobody knew what the Rose family actually DID to make their money. They weren’t bankers or lawyers or old money living on trust funds. But it always seemed to be flowing, a

    My body froze.Here I was, dressed like the criminal that I just became, holding the evidence of my crime “red-handed” only a few hundred steps from the scene, glass decorating the inside lining of my hood. My head darted from side to side. Didn’t Debrassy say that he’d be here, that the whole reason he left early was so that he and the crew could get the van?Where the hell was he?And then I remembered his warning, that if I didn't make it out in time he'd leave me. But I had set an alarm, I made sure I was here on time. I wasn't late.He also said that he and his crew had handled the security system, but obviously they missed something because I musth have triggered an alarm. It couldn't have been from breaking the glass. That wasn't even 5 minutes ago. The cops had to have been on their way before then.But I didn't have time to think it through. The answer would come to me eventually.What I needed to do was get out of there before the police noticed me. I just needed to act cas

    But I wasn't worried, we had a plan.The problem was, I didn’t have all the details. Following Debrassy into that building was a leap of faith. I had trusted Debrassy when he told me it was better this way. "If you knew everything...well then you might be in more trouble if we get caught," was his excuse, right after he tried to convince me that we wouldn't have a problem with the police even if we did. I believed that he would tell me what I needed to know, and if he didn’t tell me, it was probably for my own good. “Don’t worry about it,” he had reassured me, “We'll be in and out in 15 minutes," he assured me. "Then back to my place to celebrate." Looking back now, I realize it was the same as writing a blank check for placing blame--he could make me pay any amount he chose because I was too foolish to read the details before signing. But I was blind, not because of ignorance, but because of my own stubborn nature. I needed to believe I had made the right choice following him, so

    Like the fool that I was, I ran across the street and followed him into the shadows.In the alleyway between Vandersteele tower and another tall skyscraper stood Desmond and four other goons. They were all dressed in head-to-toe black, and looked more like professional assassins than teens getting into a little trouble.“Here,” he threw me a black ski mask from a large backpack. “I don’t know if the cameras still work or not. Better play it safe.”Grunting, I pulled the mask over my head, but an uneasy feeling was brewing in my gut. This didn’t feel right. The Vandersteeles had been old family friends. My grandmother had been best friends with the family matriarch before they died in that terrible accident out west. I had been at that wedding, along with my famil

    [Hunter]It was a stupid decision, one that would shape the rest of my life. If I could go back, maybe I would have listened to Reggie–but then I wouldn’t have become the man I am today, a man strong enough to find and reclaim my family and take vengeance for the dead. Because regardless of what I wanted, whether it had been on that particular night or another, the Debrassy family was coming for mine. They had already taken down the Harkness family, then the Vandersteeles, now it was time for the Grants. Soon there would be only one power family left–theirs. But I didn’t know that yet. I was too young to be trusted with anything too important. My father was still alive, still acting CEO of Grant Group, although it was my grandfather pulling the strings behind the curtain. I was just an unneeded, unwanted son. My older sister Jane was the heir apparent, and she was on her way to California for law school after graduating with her pre-law degree two years early. The thing is, even t

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 213

    [Hunter]If only our argument had fizzled off, but Reggie loved me too damn much to let me just walk away without trying again. “Damn it, Hunter! Don’t let that prick turn you into his simp! You’re being an idiot!”Reggie knew how those words would cut me to my core. He had heard enough about my father’s verbal and psychological abuse to know they’d trigger me.But he said them anyway--because he loved me and couldn’t bear to see me walking away. He knew those words would get through to me–and to be honest, his heart was hurting too. He was angry at me for falling for what was an obvious trap, but I was too blind, and too damn stubborn to see it that way. His words felt like a slap. A rejection. That feeling of hurt burned more than any blow, especially coming from him.If I had taken the time then to think about it, I would have seen it for what it was--a call for help, a desperate plea to get me to see reason. But I was young, hot-tempered, and already on edge. Driven by my desi
