Heart of Stone: Her Revenge Unleashed Chapter 95
Charley doesn't move from her spot, and her hands are shaking when I hand her a cup of coffee, but she manages to keep her voice steady as very slowly, she tells me about her troubled past. As the words tumble from her mouth a picture is painted of a sad and tragic childhood, without love and support. "My family was a mess," she confesses, smiling to soften her statement. "My father was in and out of jail, and my mother had to do a lot of desperate things to keep me and my brothers fed. Drug deals, prostitution, it ain't easy for a poor black woman in NYC."She grins, and I do my best to keep my expression neutral. Even though I've had my own tragedies, there is no way for me to truly relate to her experience. I'll never know what it is to be in her shoes. All I can do is listen compassionately as she shares what must have been some of the darkest moments of her life.“When I was 11 I dropped out of school. I was in 6th grade, and because of my mom’s…activities, it became hard for me

[Addison]The footsteps stop near the foot of the stairs. “Ms. Archer? Sally said you were in the hall.” My heart stills as Charley’s muscular frame turns the corner, her suit crisp and her hair neatly braided. She looks sad and uncertain as she stands there, gazing at me with a hesitant grin. “I’m sorry to disturb your morning.”I’m still so tightly wound after last night. I really need to find a way to calm myself down. Maybe start a new hobby, like yoga or flower arrangement. What is it that mob wives do to keep from going insane every time a door slams or they hear footsteps in the hall? “It’s fine, Charley,” I wave and her body relaxes at my simple gesture of welcome. “What’s up? Is there a reason you’re here?”“Mr. Grant wants to make sure you’re safe,” she says simply although her eyes are almost shouting that there is so much more to that. She must have been sent over because of what happened last night with Mr. D.Setting Livy down, I watch as she rushes off to the bookshel

[Addison]Pointing at the line on the document, I look up at Mr. Craig. "Can you tell me more about this?"How is it that Hunter could possibly be interviewed at the time of my family's death? I'm shocked and also confused. This happened over 20 years ago, Hunter couldn't have been more than 10. Which means, the Mr. Grant they are talking about would have been his father, George. But why would the Grants be anywhere near the scene of my family's death. We had been on our way back home from out of state. Why were they there too? Sweeping the paper back towards him, he squints and then his eyes open wide. "Ah, I can see. Well I might not have all the answers for you, but something tells me that your employer might be able to shed a bit of light. You could always approach him?"But how do I ask Hunter about this without raising his suspicions or worse, showing him my lack of trust. Before the events of last night, I was beginning to really trust him, to see Hunter as my protector. But

[Addison]He's still speaking with that monster but I can't listen to it anymore. Maybe there's a reasonable explanation that he is talking to him this morning even though last night he swore he had nothing to do with him. Even so, I can't stop thinking of my nightmares, the ones where I see my parents die. Now that I'm older and I better understand what was unfolding around me, I am certain it was because of the mob that I had to hide. And here I am, in love with one. Closing the door most of the way, I hide under the covers, hoping he doesn't notice that I had been eavesdropping. My heart racing, I try to calm my breath in the semblance of something that sounds like sleep, hoping it will be good enough to fool him. Squeezing my eyes shut, I consider my options. Even though I became someone new and lost all of my fortune in the mess of my marriage, I still have options. Thanks to Hunter, I have new wealth of my own slowly growing. Because of Dr. McCannon, I now have connections i
Heart of Stone: Her Revenge Unleashed Chapter 91
[Hunter]There is nothing in the world as soothing as the sound of her sleeping, the feeling of her warm body lying next to mine, the touch of her gentle breath on my neck as she curls into my chest. “This is dangerous,” I trace the edges of her curls as I memorize the contours of her faces with my fingertips. “If he figures out the truth, he’ll take you from me too.”Closing my eyes, I let my body relax, and make my best attempt to fall asleep. But as soon as my heavy lids dropped, flashes of my sister’s dead body flood my vision, fresh and red with blood, as if I were seeing it rather than remembering it. My heart skips, and Addy murmurs something in her sleep. Her body jumps, and I soothe her shaking frame. She’s still asleep, but her dreams must be just as dark and heavy as mine. “What happened to you, Addy, to make you so afraid?” I wonder aloud, remembering her reaction to the yellow roses the other day, and how she was terrified to let me out of the car tonight. There’s someth
Heart of Stone: Her Revenge Unleashed Chapter 90
[Addison]I haven't had a lot of experience with love.Before Michael, I had a few boyfriends, but nothing serious, nothing that moved beyond kisses and pleasant touches. My husband had been my first real lover. But with him, it was always perfunctionary, like performing another necessary a task. I assumed it was because of his nature: Michael is so logical and analytical, goal driven and task oriented.But now, as Hunter removes my clothes one delicate layer at a time, I realize that Michael it wasn't Michael's nature that kept me from feeling this way--it was because he never truly cherished me. I was a stand-in for Evelyn, a weak copy of the girl who broke his heart.Michael never really loved me.At least not like this. Never like this.As the last pieces of clothing fall away from us like rose petals, Hunter's hungry gaze warms me from head to toe as he pauses to appreciate every curve and angle of my body with his eyes and hands, caressing every valley and mound, massassing away

[Addison]"Addison," my name is a prayer on his tongue as he closes the distance between us, our bodies molding to one another as his lips brush mine gently.His hands are warm, like fire as he squeezes my waist, kissing me with gentle passion. This feels different than the times before, more urgent and demanding, our bodies seeking the pleasure we've both been denied, our minds and uncertain hearts getting in the way. Tonight, we both know what we want, and it isn't to be apart.Maybe it's the alcohol making me bold, but I stop fighting, stop trying to get away. "Hunter," I kiss him back deeply, my arms wrapping around his neck. He brings me up to him, lifting me at the waist and our kiss deepens, our soft moans lost to the thumping music and flashing lights. And in this moment I know something with a flash of certainty down to my bones. I want him. As we love one another wrapped in the crush of sensations as bodies dance around us, it all becomes too much: Too loud, too hot, too

[Addison]I'd have been more terrified of Hunter's pointed glare as he stands between me and Adam, if I weren't so drunk and angry. Not only is Hunter apparently a dangerous mob boss, even without knowing that bit about him he's "You're coming home with me," Hunter growls like some kind of beast, pushing Adam out of the way.Adam, for what it's worth, fights back, even though he's out classed in size and skill. 'Hey, wait a minute, buddy. You aren't the boss of her. You don't get to decide where she goes and who..."Hunter laughs, and the sound is not pleasant as he corrects Adam. "Actually, I am her boss.""I am not going anywhere with you, Hunter Grant, if that is your real name," I hiss, the drink slurring my words around the edgs. "You are a lying piece of shit." Hunter's eyes widen in shock at my harsh words. Maybe he didn't have a clue how much his deception has pissed me off. I'm tired of people playing me like a fool. "You heard the lady," Adam steps forward again, a brave m

[Hunter][A little bit earlier]She'll be okay. I need to believe that. Otherwise, I'll go insane. Debrassy is watching me as he tells me about his plans. How he will make sure my little doll doesn't step out of line. "Evelyn has a plan for Mrs. Stone. Lucky for you, she still has some use for us. You can play with her for a little longer." I bristle at his words but know if I show too much interest she'll be in even more danger than she already is. I can't prove with 100% certainty that Debrassy was behind my sister's death, but as the head of the family that has the most to gain from our family's fall, I know he was involved somehow. My sister Jane had been close to discovering the truth behind our parent's death, working with DA to collect enough evidence. She tried to go the honest way around things believing that if she could shut down the crime sydnicate by lawful ways, it would stop the problem. But some problems are so big, you need to go around the law. And that's where I
