All Chapters of 'Wanted' By Mr. Storm: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Marcel’s POV Whatever her friend told her, it still wouldn’t change the contract. I knew Helen Reid — daughter of one of my grandfather’s many business partners. At every business party, her father always brought her bratty ass along because she was the last of his daughters yet to find a suitor. And tonight, she was with Kane. River had asked me to excuse them, so I left with that pesky Kane back into the hall, where the party was almost over. Something changed after that sex in the car — having River in my arms, her scent wrapped all over me. It was comforting. The trembles were gone, and I was back to being the grandson of the Storm — the man who hides his emotions perfectly. I held her closely, feeling every rise of her pulse, every strained breath. It was normal to be afraid. It was normal to hate. But none of those things affected me the way they used to before. No matter what I do to please these people, they still see me as that monster, even before Rain happened— “We sho

Ember’s POVIt had been so long since I felt such intense rage toward someone. Marcel was mine — every woman should know that — but more obstacles kept coming every time I got close. I never planned my meeting with him to happen this way… that he would already have a fiancée.I called my parents yesterday, doing what I do best — acting. I told them how he had ditched us, crying over the phone about how he’d taken another woman in, how he was happy with her after what he’d done to my sister.I didn’t care if I had to get my hands soiled again to become Mrs. Storm. I’d been on this since the first time I set eyes on him — the first time Rain brought him home, soaked in his military uniform. I wanted him. I had no idea at first that he was related to the Storms.What wouldn’t I do to make you mine, Marcel Ruiz Storm? I tampered with her brakes for you… I did that to my own sister just to have you, yet you still wouldn’t look at me; you saw me only as Rain’s innocent sister you couldn’t b

River’s POVI stood in front of Storms, the wind pushing back the strands of my hair as memories bustled in. A faint smile tugged at my lips—what I felt was more than excitement. I was back here, back amidst people I knew… and God, I’d missed Mark so much.“Would you like your desk to be brought outside?”I shivered at the quick rush of air on my neck, his cologne lingering a moment longer. My new boss walked ahead of me, and I rushed to follow behind. I had missed this place, missed this gazes… but now it was different. Curiosity rang louder. What was she doing here? Why was she walking behind the boss?Oh, I am back, bitches.A sharp whistle cut through the air, and I didn’t need to turn to know who it came from. Mark. Fucking Mark. I winked at him and waved, not letting my gaze linger long enough to give him the satisfaction of that questioning look. Besides, what an honor—to be the boss’s secretary.“I need you to walk faster, River.”“Oh… I’m sorry.”Why pissed all of a sudden?--

RIVER'S POVI had my glasses on; neither was this me hallucinating, nor had I grown special powers of seeing things... The woman, dressed expensively, sitting next to the Ember girl, was my mother. The shock in her eyes as she stared back at me said it all...What was she doing here? Was she stalking me?"You seem surprised, Mrs. West. That is River Cortez, Marcel's fiancee. You know, he just needed to move on..." the old man introduced, but I was dead to the words being said around me as I stared back at the woman whose gaze never left mine. Was this her new family? The new family she had asked us not to destroy? What role does she play here? She really doesn't look like a nanny or a maid."Are you okay?" Marcel's hand came to my lower back, patting me slightly, and I nodded, bringing my attention back to him... no matter who she turns out to be, we were strangers."She was the one who harassed my daughter in Marcel's office, and he did nothing..." A man in his mid-fifties, who sat n

MARCEL'S POV I couldn't help it… it was like her tears burned into my skin as I held her close in the hospital corridors. I just wanted to comfort her, and I didn't know how to. Her sobs grew harder "She could have died… she could have died! And I swore I would hate myself for it."She had accused Tiara of her grandmother's attempted assassination, and I couldn’t just see it that way. Tiara had always been gentle, so why would she do this? And now that I knew Tiara was also River’s mother… every story felt fucked.And I believed River’s hate for Tiara might have been the one talking for her. “I will bring her down for what she has done; I’ll make everyone know what sort of a bitch and a murderer she is…”She pulled away from me, my shirt now soaked with her tears, but I was past caring.As I stared into her eyes, all I could see was vengeance burning through them, and it felt like the woman who had signed the contract with me was gone.Before she could walk away, I pulled her back, s
