บททั้งหมดของ The Huntress: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

The sound of the elevator rings out as we reach the top floor. The door opens up to a private suite. I usher Mingmei into the suite and make my way to the kitchen. I can feel Mingmei's eyes in the back of my head as her eyes glare at me."What are we doing here?" She asks.I walk over to the fridge and pour myself a glass of water. I raise the glass with a tilt, gesturing to her if she would like some as well. However, she simply rolls her eyes and flips me off. I ignore her antics and take a sip of water as I make my way to the living room. I pause in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over the city. I take another sip of water as my gaze looks to the distance, not focusing on anything in particular."Waiting." I reply."For what?""For your dad to carry out his end of the deal.""And if he doesn't?""We've been over this.""But what happens if my dad goes to the cops instead? You are holding me hostage, after all. What makes you think my dad hasn't already gone to

The flight to the Cayman Islands was nearly twenty hours long, so I wanted to make sure I was prepared before the plane landed. I wanted to have a game plan so the moment we arrived, I would be able to run off the plane and begin my search for whoever withdrew the money. I just hoped this wouldn't be a dead end. Who knows the next time we'll get a lead like this?After spending several hours sifting through footage from earlier in the day, I finally found what I was looking for. I couldn't tell who it was that had taken the money, only that it definitely wasn't Silvio.I managed to find out that it was a woman that withdrew the money, but I had no idea who they were. The moment that I realized that it wasn't Silvio that withdrew the money, I was instantly deflated. Thinking that somehow Silvio managed to find out that I had traced him. But I couldn't let that get me down. I was already partway to the Cayman Islands. I might as well check it out to confirm that the person had no relati

...Sienna POV..."We both know that you're not going to kill me. If you were, you would've already taken the shot. But you need me alive." I choose not to respond knowing that regardless of what I say or don't she's already proved her point. If I were here to kill her, she would've been dead the moment I activated the EMP."If you really think the possibility of being shot and killed with my own gun scares me, then you're in for a world of hurt. I hate to break it to you, but I've had enough guns in my face over the years that I no longer fear them." The woman states as she walks towards the far side of the room to pour herself a drink. She opens the mini fridge and pulls out a tiny bottle of vodka before downing it straight."Ahhh." She remarks as the liquid burns her throat."Do you want one?" She asks, handing me another tiny bottle. However, I remain unmoving, making sure to have the exits covered. She may know my intentions, but I won't let her escape, not when I just found her.

...Maverick POV...I was working in my office when I heard my dad's angry voice emanating from his office. I knew I shouldn't snoop, but I couldn't tame my curiosity. My dad is quite normally calm and collected, especially at the office. The only time he's not is when it has to do with one of us. My sister, particularly, based on what's happened. My sister has always been my father's princess. But with the attack and her kidnapping, his reigns on her have become so tight that I'm surprised she can even breathe. If it weren't for the twins, my dad would've locked her in the house and ensured no one could ever get to her again. But the twins stood by her, knowing how unhappy that would make SIenna, and offered to keep watch over her instead. I know they've been allowing her to have a lot more freedom than my father was aware of, but I wouldn't out her. I may be her overprotective older brother, but even I know when to take a step back. Sienna and the twins are much more alike than any o

After the meeting with my Dad, I went back to my office to continue reviewing the annual report that needed to be finalized before our meeting with the shareholders later in the day. However, for whatever reason, something wasn't sitting well with me. For some reason, I couldn't seem to get the name the Huntress out of my mind. I couldn't explain why. Only that it felt as though I was missing something. By noon, I decided I couldn't continue dwelling on this anymore. I wasn't sure why I felt compelled to talk to the twins, but it was as though something was urging me to see them. I chalked it up to my brotherly need to see them since it had been over a month since the last time we talked. This is why I found myself driving up alongside their apartment less than an hour later. I wasn't even sure if they were even home. But I figured I might as well try considering I was already here.I took the elevator to the top floor penthouse unit and knocked on the door, waiting to hear if my bro
