2022-08-24 16:30:11Hunter spent the whole week planning for their wedding; there are a few things left to do since Master Pritt ensured everything would be done smoothly.
Olivia refused to speak with Hunter. She still felt hostile, as always; she was staying in her friend’s condo, which he let; if this was her way to accept the situation, he let her do it; she had a week to prepare herself. He may sound nonchalant, but his heart feels empty, knowing that he have to deal with this feeling for the rest of my life.
“Hey, you, okay?” Liana, Hunter’s best friend, pat him that pushed him out from his reverie, “You look awful, dude, come on, try this; I saw a cute petite girl down there; I’ll just drop my hi,”
Hunter scoff, “Oh come on, Lia, don’t rush, and just insert those five on her; I’ll be patiently waiting for you here, no pressure,”
He heard her laugh before exiting the boutique; she’s a lesbian, and when she said she would drop her hi, it meant she’s going to fuck that woman; it’s always a target lock.
She usually goes back three to four hours after saying she’ll drop; well, at least she’s enjoying her life right now.
Liana accompanied Hunter to choose his shoes since Olivia went to work today; she said she had a lot of paper works to do since she’ll be taking a wedding leave; she just texted Hunter that today was supposed to be their schedule fitting of the clothes, but she said, she’ll do hers on the other day.
A phone call stopped him from thinking, it was from an unknown number, although, it hasn’t had a name on it, Hunter knew who was calling him, after three rings, he finally answered the phone, “Hello,” he said in a flat tone.
“Boss, we need you right now,” a familiar voice, spoke on the other line, “The Silva crane has been keeping their eyes on us, and wants to claim us, as his servant, can you please meet him, for once?”
Hunter’s brow furrowed, “Alfred, you know I’m getting married, I can’t let anyone ruin my plans,”
“Please boss,” a long pause on the other line, until Hunter heard a sigh, “Please boss, just this once, show as the mafia boss we’ve been serving for years,”
Hunter sighed heavy, “Call me tomorrow,” he said, after a long pause, and he ended the call. Hunter came back from choosing, but his mind were long gone, thinking about his people, waiting for him.
“Hi, Mr. Dimitri, have you chosen your shoes?” Amelia, one of the co-owner, approached me; I’ve been here for a couple of hours; I shyly looked at her, and she chuckled, realizing my answer, “May I recommend some designs that will perfectly suit your motif?”
I immediately nod, “Yes, please, thank you. Ms. Amelia,”
“Please come with me,” she guided me to the next room, where I stayed; inside, there were different sets and designs of shoes, “This is our limited-edition pairs; I have these three pairs, you can choose from,” she said, and get the three black shoes with different cuts, and designs, A Diciannoveventitre Derby Shoe, dark burgundy, horse leather, this cost a hundred and seventy thousand sol,”
Hunter looked at it, it’s been a while since he held a luxurious item, “This must be second or third model for this year,” Hunter halt, “This is a good choice,”
She smiled at me, “Mr. Pritt reminded us to go with whatever you choose, and don’t worry about the amount, so you have the freedom to choose,”
“I’ll probably be wearing that at the wedding; then it will live and die on the cabinet,” the manager laugh with his snide remark.
In the end, He chose plain yet elegant brown leather shoes; After the fitting, he went to the hotel where their wedding will hold; Hunter had a long, tiring, yet fulfilling day; he just hoped Olivia was with him in the process.
THIS is the day Hunter has been waiting for, their wedding day. Three days before the wedding, Olivia spoke with Hunter, asking for forgiveness for her rude behavior, and even asked him to see her wedding dress, to which he immediately agreed. He wanted to make everything works out.
God must have heard my prayers and decided to give me a happy ending. He thought. Guests, bride’s maids, and groomsmen were happily chatting with each other, they still had fifteen minutes before the ceremony started, and Hunter is started to feel heavy.
Some of his friends, we’re here; Liana kept on smirking and winking at him; she knows how to annoy his friend Hunter don’t have many guests because he chose not to invite them; he don’t want to cause any trouble on his wedding day, and because of his decision to make a life from scratch, he didn’t have the time to actually make friends, not on his real self.
“Mr. Dimitri, the ceremony is about to start. Would you please stand at the end of the aisle? The wedding car is about to arrive,” Hunter sigh in relief, He was thinking all night that Olivia might have a cold-feet and decide not to appear at their wedding, however, Hunter thought that he won her heart this time, “The bride is arriving!” this time, A voice echoed through the whole hall.
The wide door opens, and light fills the whole room; Mr. Johnson wants their wedding to be like Olivia’s late mom, flowery, like a fairytale, surrounded by people who are genuinely happy about their wedding,
But Hunter’s happiness comes with great heartbreak, for it wasn’t Olivia who entered; it was the crying Nadia—her maid of honor while holding a letter.
“I’m sorry, she was long gone when I saw her letter,”
The whole place was filled with crowds different opinions, about Olivia, not showing to their wedding. Brokenhearted Hunter, was staring blankly, so, this is why I feel odd? My instinct never fail me. He thought to himself.
Hunter’s phone rang, Exasperation starts to fill Hunter’s chest, he did everything he can, to make them work, but this is how Olivia give back, he scoop his phone on his inside pocket, and answer the call.
“Boss,” Hunter heard one of his loyal people, “We are all gathered, and is been waiting for you, are you coming?”
Hunter’s bitterly chuckled, “Looks like, destiny keeps on playing with my life, Alfred,”
“Boss..” Alfred didn’t know what to say, Hunter as a boss don’t usually show his fragile side, he is best known for being nonchalant.
“Pick me now, I think I have to go back home,”

“I’m sorry, Hunter. I’m really sorry,” master Pritt kept on apologizing to Hunter, who’s just silently standing near the aisle.Most of the guests went home an hour ago, and Hunter wasn’t spoken since then, he felt ashamed, and broken hearted, thinking of all the things he had done for Olivia, and yet she still chose to leave him with so much pain.“We can still fix this, I will do everything in my power to reach Olivia, don’t worry, Hunter, the wedding will still happen,”The church’s door suddenly open, and there, Alfred—his right hand, arrived, to pick him up. Master Pritt and Mr. Johnson, looked at Alfred confusingly, “Boss,” Alfred muttered, as he saw the man who he have been serving for year.He immediately walk towards Hunter, “Alfred, it’s nice to see you again,” Hunter’s broken voice greeted Alfred.“Who might be this man, Hunter? You know him?” Mr. Johnson asked, still looking at Alfred, the remaining guests were also looking at the newly arrived Alfred.Alfred stood stra

“Good morning, how may I help you today?” a guy greeted Hunter, while he was picking his order, “If you can’t choose, then, I’d like to offer you some of our best seller,”Hunter’s brow furrowed, then nodded eventually, “Thanks, so, what can you offer for me, with less cream or milk,”“You can have our avocado escape, or reales pocho, it both contains fifteen percent milk, ten percent sugar, and fifty percent coffee,”Hunter handed the cashier his card, “I’ll get that both, thanks,”“Thank you, here’s your card sir, and this,” he handed Hunter a buzzer, “We will let you know once your order is ready, for the meantime, you can sit over there,” Hunter nodded and settle himself to a sofa near the counter.He just went back, after a month of staying home, he came back to the place where he was shamed, and belittled, Hunter’s father let him decide, to whatever he plans to do, and he want to start at the very place where he though, he would start a new.“Omg, is this real?!” Hunter look

“What the hell, that was so cool of you, dude!” Smith couldn’t help but to be amazed, he knew Hunter.He never boast on anything, but he never thought that he can really keep his mouth shut, no matter how people look down on him.“Stop it,” hunter said, with a smirk on his face, “You didn’t have to slap them that hard, you know,”They exchanged looks and laugh. Both of them ordered and had a great time, Olivia and William exited the restaurant, fluster with a sudden revelation. They can’t seem to move on with what happen.“So, when do you plan to start expanding?

“Hunter, you look excellent; how are you holding up?” Master Pritt greeted Hunter as soon as he arrived at the coffee shop, “I’m sorry, are you comfortable meeting here?”Hunter chuckled, “Of course, this is your favorite coffee shop; I wouldn’t miss sipping the coffee here,” he answered and accepted master Pritt’s hands, hanging in the air, waiting for his to meet.“You still remember, huh,” humor was evident in his voice, “I ordered a drink while I was waiting, if you don’t mind,” “Oh, come on! No worries so,” Hunter trailed, “How was business?”Master Pritt laughed with so much humor, “Of course, I followed your advice; you’re a fucking good businessman; you just saved me a million-dollar fee,” he said and followed by a laugh.“Don’t mention it, anyway,” Hunter pulls off a paper from his bag, “Here are the papers I mentioned to you before.

Why are you helping us?” “Like what I said, I’m a man of my word; when I promise to do something, I will, so don’t be surprised,”“Why didn’t you kill me?” Joe looked at the lifeless man behind Hunter, “Instead, you killed him,” Hunter throws a glimpse at the body, “He’s the mole I’ve been looking for; you were just a bait,” Joe blinked twice just to see if Hunter was bluffing or not.It took half a minute before Joe let a loud laugh, “You’re fucking something, man; you’re freaking funny,”“I know, just don’t laugh at me; I tend to shoot anyone who laughs at me,” Joe shook his head, “You have to go now; I’ll deal with those motherfuckers; you sh

“Again!” Hunter exclaimed, looking at the boys while kneeling on the ground with their hands raised in the air.“We will never do it again, sir!” they all said in unison; most of them couldn’t raise their arms properly, “We’re very sorry!”“What will I do next time I see you bullying other kids?” Hunter was walking back and forth.After letting them taste their own medicine, Hunter is making sure he will embroider a core memory to the kids, hoping this will not happen again.

Is that why your little icy heart got broken? Isn’t that a wrong decision, huh?” Hunter shook his head, which made Smith chuckle, “Okay, whatever you decide,” Smith stood up and went to Alamid, “Hey, young man, you seemed not fed for years; are you some kind of beggar?” Alamid’s head tilted upon hearing that, “No, why would I beg for money? I attend school and work at the same time, don’t accuse me for the person I am not,” his voice slightly rose out of annoyance, “Be careful with your words, that might

Epilogue
The early autumn air was crisp and fresh, with the leaves of the trees around the village beginning to show the first signs of turning golden. The days were getting shorter, and the nights cool and still. Lorelei and Hunter had settled into a rhythm, their days filled with work on the community projects, quiet evenings together, and the deep connection that had only grown stronger since their wedding.The village was thriving under Lorelei’s leadership, and Hunter was proud of everything they had accomplished together, but there was something else stirring within her that neither of them had expected—something they didn’t fully understand yet.It began one quiet evening, a few weeks after their wedding, when Lorelei had been feeling unusually tired. She had chalked it up to the long hours spent organizing projects, coordinating with builders for the school, and overseeing the development of the medical clinic. She’d been working relentlessly, pouring every ounce of her energy into the

The morning of the wedding arrived, bathed in golden light, as if the universe itself was eager to celebrate the union of two souls destined to build a future together. The village, though small, was bustling with excitement.Every corner was adorned with vibrant flowers, and colorful ribbons hung from the trees, swaying gently in the early breeze. A long wooden arch, draped in ivy and blooms, stood proudly at the edge of the riverbank near Lorelei’s grandmother’s house, the place where so much of their love had blossomed. Today, the village would witness the beginning of a new chapter for two of its own—the woman who had long been the heart of the community and the man who had, against all odds, found his place among them.The Brotherhood had arrived earlier in the week, their presence a stark reminder of Hunter’s past, but it was a past he had long made peace with. Casper, Ezekiel, Alejandro, and Alamid were all in attendance, the familiar faces of his old comrades offering Hunter a

The village had become a sanctuary, a place where peace and purpose intertwined. The rolling hills that surrounded the small community seemed to cradle it in their embrace, a world away from the complexities of Hunter’s former life.It was here that he had found the stability he had long craved, and in Lorelei, he had found a partner whose heart matched the warmth of the village itself. Together, they had started something new—a future they both wanted to build from the ground up.Lorelei, ever the visionary, had begun taking charge of organizing community projects. The first priority was to address the village’s need for more accessible education and healthcare. The old schoolhouse was small and outdated, and the nearest clinic was miles away, an inconvenient distance for many of the elderly and young children. Lorelei, with her innate sense of purpose, immediately set her sights on transforming these challenges into opportunities for the village to thrive.Hunter supported her whole

The sun was setting over the village, casting a soft golden light that reflected off the surface of the river. The water flowed gently, a calming rhythm that seemed to match the peace Hunter had found in the small town. It was a stark contrast to the chaos and adrenaline of his previous life.Here, he was simply Hunter. Not the former soldier, not the Brotherhood leader—just a man who had found solace in the quiet beauty of this place, and in the woman standing beside him.Lorelei was standing by the riverbank, her silhouette outlined by the fading light. The breeze played with her hair, sending strands of it dancing around her face. She had always been beautiful to him, but it was in moments like this, in the stillness of the world around them, that he found her more breathtaking than ever. Her strength, her quiet determination, her kindness—they were all there, in the way she moved, in the way she looked at him.Hunter took a deep breath, feeling a rush of emotion swell in his chest

The morning sun gleamed through the large windows of Alamid’s sleek, modern office building. He stood in front of a crowd, a mix of reporters, philanthropists, and high-ranking officials, all gathered to witness what would be another milestone in his rapidly growing empire.His success as a businessman had always been a topic of admiration, but his transformation into a philanthropist was what truly set him apart. As the media cameras flashed, Alamid spoke with the same smooth confidence that had propelled him to the top of the corporate world, but his words today were focused on something more meaningful.“I am deeply honored to announce that, through the generosity of my company and its partners, we are launching a new initiative to support the recovery of survivors of human trafficking. This program will provide housing, education, and therapy for those affected, helping them rebuild their lives with the dignity and opportunity they deserve.”The room filled with applause, and Alam

Casper and Alamid stood in front of a high-rise building that loomed over the city, the glass windows reflecting the waning sunlight. It was a symbol of power, wealth, and corruption—a fitting location for the confrontation they were about to have. The corrupt politician, Eduardo Vasquez, had long been suspected of ties to international trafficking rings, but evidence had been scarce, and his influence was immense.Alamid adjusted his cufflinks, his eyes sharp as they scanned the surroundings. “This is it,” he muttered, more to himself than to Casper.“Yeah,” Casper replied, cracking his knuckles. “And I’ve waited a long time for this.”The two of them had gathered intelligence over the past few weeks, digging through Vasquez’s finances, connections, and business dealings. They knew they were walking into a storm. But they had no choice—Vasquez’s influence had kept the trafficking rings running smoothly, unchallenged, for too long. The time to strike was now.They walked into the buil

Hannah stood at the window of the small apartment in a city that was still unfamiliar to her. The skyline outside was vibrant, filled with the promise of a new beginning. She could feel the cool breeze of the evening pushing through the cracks in the window, a stark contrast to the heat of the life she had left behind.She wasn’t the same person she had been when she first came to Hunter’s life, the desperate, obsessive woman who had tried everything to gain his affection. Those days felt like they belonged to someone else. The Hannah of the past was a ghost, buried under layers of regret, mistakes, and unhealed wounds. The Hannah standing here now was different, someone who had fought for a second chance and finally found it.Her phone buzzed on the counter, pulling her from her thoughts. It was a message from Ezekiel.Ezekiel: “How’s the new place? Let me know if you need anything.”She smiled as she typed her response.Hannah: “It’s perfect. Thank you again for everything. I never

Jake sat in the dimly lit interrogation room, his hands cuffed tightly to the cold metal chair. His face was bruised, his clothes torn from the brutal struggle that had led to his capture. The harsh lights above flickered intermittently, casting long shadows across the walls. For the first time in years, Jake felt a sense of vulnerability, a feeling he had never known in his twisted world of crime and manipulation. He was no longer in control. His past had finally caught up with him.Outside the room, Estella paced back and forth in the hallway, her eyes fixed on the door where Jake was being held. The weight of the moment pressed down on her, her chest tight with both anger and relief.It had been years since she had learned the truth about Jake—his involvement in Jonathan’s human trafficking ring, his cruelty, his lies. Their marriage, once built on trust and love, had been nothing more than a facade. She had struggled for so long to piece together the shattered fragments of her lif

The news came early in the morning, just as the first light of dawn began to filter through the curtains. Lorelei sat up in bed, staring at her phone as the message from the local hospital flashed on the screen. She read it twice, unwilling to believe the words that had appeared in front of her.Her grandmother, Agatha, had passed away.It felt like a punch to the gut. Agatha had been a pillar in Lorelei’s life, a steady force who had shaped her into the woman she was today. Despite her age, Agatha had always carried herself with quiet strength, leading their community with a steady hand and a sharp mind. She had been more than a grandmother to Lorelei; she had been a mentor, a confidante, and a guiding light.Hunter, who had been up for an early jog, entered the room moments later. He froze when he saw the look on Lorelei’s face, knowing something was wrong before she even spoke.“What happened?” he asked, his voice soft but filled with concern.Lorelei’s voice cracked as she read th
