2022-09-04 02:16:03“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 straightly and looked into Mr. Johnson’s eyes, that made Olivia’s father taken a back. He haven’t seen anyone who can move him in just one glance.
“Alfred, this is Mr. Johnson and Master Pritt, my ex-fiance’s father and grandfather,” Hunter turn his gaze to the two old men, who is still in shock after hearing Hunter, “Mr. Johnson, Master Pritt, this is Alfred, my friend,”
“What do you mean, Hunter? We will settle this, ri—” Master Pritt, for the first time was being cut by Hunter.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think, any of your plans will work out, Olivia decided for herself, and it neither both of you, nor me, she chose herself, and her well, happiness,” Hunter turned to Alfred, “I called him to pick me up, this will be the last time, I will associate myself to your family,”
“Hunter, I know, you’re hurt by now, but don’t make abrupt decisions, don’t let you emotions overpower your decisions,” Mr. Johnson, he genuinely liked Hunter, since he’s humble and a good learner, ”Let’s talk about it again, just calm down first,”
“This is my decision, thank you for having me on your family,” both old men didn’t have the chance to speak, “With that, we will take our leave,” Hunter bid his goodbye, and starts to exit the hall, behind him, is Alfred, who is excited for Hunter’s comeback—their notorious and savage boss.
“Got home Already?” Hunter’s father—Zafron, greeted him, when he got home. It was already dawn and Hunter didn’t expect his father to be awake, up this earlier.
“Yeah, long time no see, dad,” Hunter mumbled, but enough for Zafron to hear, “How have you been?” he started a conversation.
“Doing good, so, how was the escapade, with your—what was her name again?” Zafron’s humorous voice got into Hunter, that made him rolled his eyes.
“Olivia, you’re acting like you don’t know about it, dad,” Hunter comfortably sat on the sofa, trying to get himself together, in front of his father.
“Did you love her, son?” instead of turning his eyes to Zafron, Hunter looked down, his heart were still shattered, “I’m asking you,”
“I wouldn’t let myself drown with so much humiliation and treatment, if I didn’t love her,” Hunter solemnly answered.
“Get your revenge,” Zafron said in a firm tone, “Get back for all the damage his damages and humiliation her and her family gave you, for all the pain they inflicted on you,”
Hunter looked at him in disbelief, “How could you say that, dad? You’re actually the reason why I got almost married to her, you saved master Pritt, right?”
Zafron chuckled, “Hunter, I’m a businessman, I don’t take everything free, or without interest, you gain nothing from them, yet, they got everything from you, how is that fair?”
Hunter’s brow furrowed, “What do you mean?” Zafron open the drawer near his side, and handed Hunter an envelope.
“See it for yourself,” Zafron said, and motioned him to open the envelope, which Hunter did.
In Hunter’s horror, he saw pictures of master Pritt, with familiar faces, “W-what’s this?”
“That old man was stealing your investors, and biggest business partners, while you’re busy being crazily in love with his granddaughter, he take that time, he knew who you are, and instead of helping you out, he—” Zafron handed another picture to Hunter, “Talk with that man, William, I don’t have to know what they are talking about, I’ll give you that one,”
“How about Olivia’s father?” Hunter was trying to find other reason, not to pursue the thought that his mind keeps on pushing inside his head.
“Well, he’s totally innocent with his father and daughter’s wrong doing, but that doesn’t mean he’s fully acquitted with these crimes in front of you,”
“I can’t believe, I fall for all these lies,” Hunter’s disbelieve is visible in his voice, “I trusted them, and they still thought of doing these to me?” a single drop of tear falls from Hunter’s eye, while still beaming at the photos.
It’s a pictures of different days, and venue, where master Pritt was eating and talking with investors and business partners. Hunter gritted his teeth.
“I told you, son. People are the true evil in this world, you can’t trust anybody of them including me. That’s why I let you figure it out, yourself. I let you see how this world works, before your eyes, and now that you see it, what are your plans now?”
Hunter’s fist clench, enrage with the facts in front of his eyes, “You’re right, I have to get my revenge, to those who inflict pain on me, throughout the couple years, I’ve been out,”
“How do you plan to do it?” Zafron asked, he wanted to know, what life outside their home taught him. He is both excited and curious on how far his son went.
Zafron feels like he’s looking at himself, the posture, the aura, the eyes, he can feel how his son became a man for a span of two years, far from the child like Hunter he let go and let explored the world.
“I’ll give them the taste of their own medicine,”

“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. Would you like to read them and take a look before you sign them?”Master Pritt waved his hand, “No need, that action was for foolish people;

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.

“Are you sure about this kid, bud?” Smith asked for the nth time while giving Alamid a brief look, who was currently eating like he hadn’t fed for weeks, “You can still change your mind, and if you’re really pitying him, I can just open a bank account, and give him a job,”Hunter chuckled while browsing on the internet; for a new and good school, he can transfer to Alamid, “Of course, when did I make mistakes in making decisions, Smith?” Smith scoffed, “You’re really asking me that? 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
