From devil to savior and back to devil
The next morning I sat at the breakfast table, the head chair to my left was empty. Hunter never showed up. Later Donna informed me that he left early for Italy on a business trip. I didn't know if he actually went for business purposes, or he was avoiding me to a whole new level for finding out a concealed piece of his past.
My eyes drifted over the rest of the Kings family and stopped at Julia. How could I be so blind to not notice that before? Blue eyes, blonde hair, heart shaped face. She had no resemblance to Hunter, and that confirmed my doubts.
She wasn't Hunter's real mother.
That woman from the picture was, and he missed her. No matter what happened that made her a forbidden topic, he still missed her. I felt a tug at my heartstrings.
How would I know what happened to her? I peered at Karen. She definitely knew everything. But could I ask her? Would she tell me, or would she be angry? Deci

King's Dairy farm.I read the sign with horror and trepidation, sweat dripping down my temple. My gaze darted to Hunter who, thoughtful, studied the file I made, regarding that particular business of his. He looked calm while I wanted to crawl into a pit and hide.This morning when I reached the office Hunter ordered me to review all his business fields and list out the unprofitable ones in one hour. Oh, yes, the darn time-table shit starts again, and I feel so delighted. -note the sarcasm-I completed the task, and let me tell you it wasn't easy considering his big-ass-billionaire-highness got enough money to invest in more than a hundred business fields. I marked five as unproductive areas. This farm was one of those, and its darn owner decided to investigate himself the cause behind the loss. That's why we were here in this Godforsaken place.Putting the file down, Hunter stepped out of the

That night I went to sleep with a mixed feeling of mirth and melancholy and later had a strange dream. Hunter came into my room. Indeed, it was strange because that son of a rock would never come to check on me, now, would he?The peaceful darkness began getting lighter. My eyes fluttered open and closed again, a moan escaping my lips as the soft golden ray of the morning sun fell right on my face. Turning my face to the other side I stretched, a yawn leaving my mouth. I sat up rubbing the sleep away from my eyes.I didn't need the help of an alarm clock to wake up anymore. It became a habit the past week when I had to handle a lot of work in Hunter's absence. Though it wasn't like I could relax now that he was back, rather work harder like a soldier in the field.I let out a groan and reached the nightstand to get my phone. Sliding the screen, I read the time and put the phone back in its place. It was 6:57 am. I h

“What?” I spat a bit too loud, and looked around at the people giving me disapproving looks. Shaking my head, I glanced back at my companion who occupied a scarlet face ridden with guilt. I couldn't give a damn about what people thought at that moment. I was mad.“You two have been dating, and you haven't even told me yet?”“Em, please, calm down and listen to me.”“Yeah, girl, cool down. What's gotten into you?” Beth commented.“I'm your best friend for heaven's sake! You were supposed to tell me the second he asked you on a date.” I knew I was being a bitch, but I couldn't help it. Perhaps because I woke up in a puddle of my own blood this morning.“I know. I'm sorry! I wanted to but...” she trailed off.“But what, Ana?” I asked, sending her a

“Done!”“Done here!”“All done!”A man lifted his thumb up.“Everyone, brace yourselves!”Men started running and hiding behind cars, some behind trees and some behind piles of bricks. As for me, I had a mountain shielding me from any harm's way even better than those men.“Mr. King Jr, sir! Wouldn't you care to shield yourself?” I asked the mountain.In response, he only puffed his chest out.I took that as a no and cowered back behind him with my hands on my ears.“Sir?” Fabio called, asking for permission.Hunter gave a nod of his head.“Everyone in position?” Fabio's voice rose in order for everyone to hear.A unison of yes emitted from around the place.“Boom!” He ta

I stood in front of the glass wall in the new building the Kings Corp. was working on. Most of the things here were made of glass, almost like an exotic glass house. I watched the reflection of Hunter talking with the builders on the glass. We were here for inspection. Well, he was here for inspection. He wanted everything to be pitch perfect since it was one of the top projects for the company. Thus, pointing out even the slightest of the mistakes, he sent them off to fix everything.My lips curved into a smile. He actually looked cute inspecting and directing like a tough old grandpa. All he was missing now was a cane and some gray hair or perhaps, no hair at all. An involuntary chuckle left my lips, and I quickly clamped a hand around my mouth.He slowly turned towards me and cocked his head, an eyebrow arched, “Is there something funny?”I shook my head and gulped when he started walkin

'Love can thaw what hatred has congealed', my mother always said.All the things that happened with Hunter in the past had filled him with hatred, turning him cold and heartless. If I had to bring his better self back, I would have to thaw his frozen heart. Yup, just like Anna and Kristoff from Frozen. But nope, a simple true love's kiss won't work in this case. It'll be a long hair-pulling, teeth-gritting and foot-stomping process.“Take off your shirt,” I said for the third time.“No.”“How am I supposed to treat you otherwise?”He took a hold of his sleeve and gave a hard tug, the fabric coming off with a ripping sound as his physiognomy turned into a smug.My lips tilted into a smirk, “Is Hunter King shy?” I wiggled my eyebrows at him.His facial feature turned stony in a matter of seconds. “Four minutes.”

All eyes were set on me as I sat at the conference table. Delivering everyone a smile as confident as my nervous self provided, I stood up and cleared my throat.My beloved CEO husband decided to be generous giving the director of presentation a day off and putting me in his place to present one of the most important projects of the company to the clients. My eyes were begging to close since I didn't get even an ounce of sleep last night preparing the presentation, and my palms were sweating.How was I supposed to do it when I had never done it before and with so much attention on me?My eyes fell on Mr. Vincent Denver sitting across me giving me a reassuring smile while Hunter sat at the head of the table sending me a look that screamed, 'Mess it up, and you are dead.'"Hello, everyone!" I took a deep breath to calm my delirious nerves. "As you know our compan

I stared at his forest green eyes which were glaring at me in return. "Why, Caleb?""I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't do anything," he said diverting his gaze away from me."Don't lie. You were the last one to have my laptop," I pressed."I told you I didn't d-""The file didn't disappear itself," I cut him off. I was getting frustrated over this. I checked my laptop just before I left it to him, and the file was still there. It only disappeared after I got it back from him."It did!" he snapped. "Because of your carelessness. I wonder why the boss would keep such a useless fool in the job," he spat out, giving me a disgusted look from head to toe.My blood boiled. "What the hell is your problem? I've been noticing since the day I joined here you've been rude to me, yet I ignored it. But today you've crossed the line. W
