INICIAR SESIÓNVERA'S P.O.V"Daddy..." My fingers trembled so violently I could barely keep a grip on my phone."Vera, I need you to calm down," McLaren’s irritating voice cut through the static."Don’t tell me to calm the fuck down!" I raged, raw panic tearing through me. "They took Hunter!""I understand, Vera—""No!" I sobbed, unravelling. "Put Daddy on the phone. Right now."A muffled scuffle echoed through the line as I waited in suspense. Then, a familiar, steady voice took over. "Vera, darling, the team is already on it as we speak. Tella is going to find you and bring you home safely. We will find him."I aggressively wiped my eyes, but the tears just kept pouring, blurring my vision. Why would they take him? Why would anyone want to hurt Hunter? It didn't make any sense."So what am I supposed to do now?" I pressed, desperation making my voice pitch higher. "How did this even happen? Did... did the Dions do this? They were acting shady at the meeting, and I don't think they liked Hunter at
HUNTER’S P.O.VVera stayed close, practically glued to my side as I escorted her out of the building. The way the guards tracked our movements set me on edge. I reached out and took her hand, pulling her along to match my hurried pace, remaining completely silent until we were safely inside my jeep, en route back to the penthouse.Vera kept her eyes fixed on me. I purposely avoided her gaze until I was certain my face no longer betrayed my fear.After thirty minutes of suffocating silence, I finally decided to break the ice."Do you want to rest at the penthouse for a bit, or should we just grab our things and head out?"Vera scoffed, forcing me to glance at her briefly."You're acting strange, Hunter.""Those people were strange," I countered, trying to justify my behavior. "That's all it was.""You're acting strange and now you're being defensive.""I'm... I'm not being defensive," I replied deliberately, pacing my words. "I'm simply explaining why I reacted that way.""Now you're s
HUNTER'S P.O.VVERA: Ellie, Hunter and I are back together.ELLIE: Oh my god! When? How? Where are you? How are you feeling? I want to know everything!VERA: I’m out of town at the moment, but we’ll talk tomorrow. I promise.I switched off my phone and slipped it back into my purse. Just then, the vehicle slowed down as we approached the entrance of an exclusive private members’ club.Looking through the tinted window, I took in the imposing stone façade and the tall windows stretching across the upper floors. There were no flashy signs announcing the club’s name, only a discreet brass plaque beside the entrance.Hunter turned the steering wheel, following the driveway beneath a covered portico. Two security guards immediately approached the car, and Hunter lowered his window.“Good evening.”One of the guards glanced inside before stepping back. “Mr. James. They’re expecting you.”Hunter nodded, and the gates closed behind us. I watched them shut through the rear window.“Are you oka
HUNTER’S P.O.V.Just before Vera arrived, I reached under the seat and pulled out the black case McLaren had told me to check before the trip. Carrying it back into the penthouse, I slipped into the nearest bathroom.I opened it, and to no surprise, a gun was staring back at me. It had a silver-iron finish and a solid black grip. I swallowed hard, wrapping my fingers around the handle to test its weight. I set it down on the counter and searched the rest of the box, assuming that was everything—until I spotted the bulletproof armor. There were two vests. One was clearly mine, but the second one posed a massive problem: how could I get Vera to put this on without triggering a million questions? Even more concerning, why was there a vest for her at all if Mr. Haven had promised she would be completely safe?Unbuttoning my shirt, I strapped the vest tightly against my chest and covered it back up. I grabbed the gun, slid it into my inside jacket pocket, and straightened my suit.How am I
HUNTER’S P.O.VI jolted awake in the dead of night, sitting up so fast that Vera, who had been resting against my chest, slipped off.“Hey,” she whispered softly, her fingers brushing lightly against my cheek. “It was just a nightmare,” she reassured me.I nodded quickly, wiping away the beads of sweat forming on my forehead. Vera helped me, fingers wiping too, then propped a pillow behind my back as I sat up. A sharp headache hit me—the very first thing I felt once the initial shock passed. I blinked a few times, trying to recall the nightmare that had shaken me, but my mind was completely blank. It was strange because I never forgot my bad dreams.It wasn’t until Vera placed her hand over mine that I blinked and fully realised she was there.We looked at each other.“Hunter, are you okay?”I cleared my throat. “I’m fine... did you happen to bring my pills with you?”Vera’s face went completely pale. “Oh my god, I didn’t.”She shifted closer, anxiety written all over her face. “I’m
VERA’S P.O.V Hunter thrusted, burying his large cock hilt deep into me pressing me deeper into the bed. He kept it there, gripping the sheets around me. I never let go of the beads. And he never looked away from my face. He barely gave me time to adjust as he stretched my tight cunt to take him. It’s been months since I’d been fucked and each passing day before now, I had gotten tighter and smaller. But that changed now and soon I’d take the perfect size of him, be the perfect fit. He eased out of me fully, before slamming into me again making my lips tremble with a moan. “You’re tight, doll,” he hissed as he transitioned into slow, deep strokes that dragged every thick inch of him through me. Each thrust pressed me deeper into the bed leaving me moaning into his mouth and clenched tightly around him. His hips began to snap a little harder and deeper, the sound of him fucking into me filling the room. “Fuck you're squeezing me good. Is this okay?” he asked softly. I
HUNTER'S P.O.V(SIX MONTHS AGO)Birthdays are supposed to smell like cake and candles, but mine smelled like blood instead. "Ma, I'm home!" It was the day after my twenty-first birthday. My girlfriend, Vera, had planned a huge surprise party for me. Well, it wasn't much of a surprise because s
VERA'S P.O.V Hunter's hands grabbed the sides of my face. He bent to meet me, taking my lips into his. His kiss was soft. It lingered on my lips even after he pulled back. He dipped in again, consuming them once more, this time, our tongues battled for control. His was more dominant as it pushed t
VERA'S P.O.V I couldn't move an inch, let alone "get up". His presence was undeniable as his tall frame cut off what little light our nightstand had to offer. His shadow consumed me. My head was bowed and my hands still cradled my swollen neck. Hunter paused briefly, watching me till he
VERA'S P.O.V Hunter's palm struck my cheek, forcing my head to snap to the side. For a split second, there was nothing, just a ringing white noise flooding my ears—then the sting came hot. "What do you want from me?" My boyfriend questioned. "Hunter," I whispered, my voice inaudible. "I'
