last update Last Updated: 2023-03-20 19:30:24

ALINA'S POV :

I left his room after wearing his goddamn pants. What the hell is going on with me? I never felt this way with anyone. If any man even tries to come near me I would kick them without thinking twice.

But with him, ahhhh I don't even understand why I'm feeling better around him. Why the hell my lips quivered when he said he will kiss me hard? Damn, If I don't drink coffee right now then I don't know what would happen to my freaking brain with all these new feelings.

When I entered the kitchen Omar was already there preparing breakfast and it smelled so nice. I walked towards him to see what he was making and by the smell of it, he was making pancakes, a bagel sandwich, eggs and juice and my guess is right.

"It smells great." I said standing beside him to take a close look, "and looks great too."

"Thank you," he said while arranging the pancakes on a plate and looking at me. "Oh, You already woke up, I thought you'll sleep all day based on your drunken state last night

    SAME DAY AFTERNOON… RUDY'S POV : After a long sleep because of a tired night, I finally decided to wake up, getting off the bed. Don't think much, no girl is laying beside me and also no hangover for the first time after a long time. It's not because I lost my charm or anything but because of the girls' craziness last night. I had to help the guys to get the girls home safely, so I didn't drink last night. After a refreshing shower, I dressed up to go to the docks to check if everything was prepared to send the shipment. But of course, after having lunch though. Shane is busy today having meetings and all, so he assigned me this work and after that, I have to go to my fighting clubs and check if everything is ready for the fights tonight. "Come on just check again, how come it'll get lost, check it again." As I was walking in the Lobby after having lunch in our hotel's restaurant, I saw that a girl is arguing with one of our hotel staff. "Mam, please understand, there is no room

    Meanwhile in Omar's Office… OMAR'S POV : "Excuse me, Sir, the meeting will start in 5 minutes, everyone is waiting for you," Grace said holding a file in her hands while waiting for me. "Coming." I grabbed my phone and left the office walking with Grace aside and telling her some important details about today's meeting. She seems like a hard-working person. Even though she joined just yesterday, she learned so many things, a fast learner if you ask me. "As I already told you, this meeting is not an easy one because of Mr Shaw, he is very hard to please. So, be prepared to face him. I'm not telling this to scare you as this is new for you. You will learn more if you attend meetings like these." She nodded and smiled, "I know sir. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I'll try my best." She said confidently but I know that she is a bit scared of this meeting because she has been fidgeting with her fingers on the file. After all, this is her second day and her first meeting. But

    OMAR'S POV : "Are you f*cking kidding me?" After hearing her voice, we came back to our senses. Helping Grace to stand properly and making sure she is fine, I finally faced and asked her, "What is it, Catherine?" "Are you asking me? I'm the one who should ask you. What the hell is going on here? Why is she always in your arms? Whenever I come here, I'm seeing her in your arms, what is she to you, Omar? Are you cheating on me?" She started shouting and finally asked that one question. 'Cheating' really that question?Who is cheating? She is the one who is cheating and is now trying to put the blame on me just because I'm close to a woman. Wow, Catherine nice gameplay. But I won't reveal anything until I find out everything about you. I just learned a few things but still, there is a lot more going on with her. My guess is, she could be the one who replaced the drive and must have taken the hard disk. And someone is helping her inside the office. I will find out who it is and make s

After making sure that everything is fine at the docks, I directly came here to arrange everything for tonight. "Is everything ready?" I asked him. "Yes, Boss. Everything is prepared and everyone is ready to start the match. We are waiting for your order to start the match." He replied. "Okay, start the match. I'll be there." He nodded and left to announce. I went outside after checking the cameras one last time and walked to my private space on the first floor where I can see the whole ring clearly. I'm in one of my fighting clubs where illegal fights are held at. I'll manage everything here and also the clubs sometimes but mostly I'll be in my fighting clubs as it is my favourite place. As Julian said to start the fight, the commentator started announcing Round one of the match and everyone started shouting and enjoying the show. "LADIE

That's why my whole team and I gathered in my office to discuss about it. "As you all know, tomorrow we have a very important meeting. This meeting will not only give us the chance to extend our businesses in Italy but also give us a chance to make them our potential allies." I announced to my teammates and they listened very carefully. "They are as powerful as we are, so don't make any mistakes and lose this chance. With the Italians on our side, our business and our reputation in the underworld will be unbeatable." Nate continued the importance of the meeting. "Tomorrow, we are going to meet the most powerful Italian mafia leader. He is known for his business and is very respected. People fear him and his family hold half of the business in Italy. Don't get flattered by his charm because he is a devil in disguise. Even the government follows his rules." "A

I took it and dialled Grace while sipping the coffee. "Grace, come to my office." "Sir?" She said opening the door slightly. "Come in," I said taking another sip. It is the best morning coffee I have ever tasted in my office and was made by Grace, itself. "What's today's schedule?" I asked her. "Today, we have three important meetings and one regular meeting with our new project team members. First, with Mr Agartha at 11 ' O clock in our office, next with Ms Lopez at 1:30 Pm in our restaurant while having lunch.

    MEANWHILE IN ALINA'S OFFICE… ALINA'S POV : "We have a meeting with Ms Suarez at 11:40 Am," Jessica said as I was listening to my schedules. Today we have only a few meetings as my schedule is already hectic because of Camilla's wedding plans and some other events which I accepted before. "And we have to go to Camilla's house today to talk about the venue." She said and placed a file on my table. "This is the file that you asked me to prepare yesterday, everything is prepared accordingly as per the client's request." "Great job Jess." I took the file and was impressed by her work. She is the best as always. "As always." She winked at me. That's the Jess I know. I don't want to see her all gloomy, I just want to see her smile and be as cheerful as she is like always. If Nate ignores her and hurts her again, then I'll personally take care of him. No one can hurt my best friend and escape with it. I chuckled, "So there is only ten minutes until the next meeting then, did they tell yo

"Good," I said and ordered my usual drink. And the guys also ordered their drinks. "There you go." Tony handed us our drinks and went to the other side to serve as well. "Did you talk to her?" I asked Nate while taking my glass of whisky. While the others also took their glasses leaving me and Nate alone and going to flirt with girls who have been gawking at us since we entered. "Nope. I didn't get the chance today, she has been busy with the girls. But it seems like she is trying to avoid me." He said, while drinking. "Why do you think like that?" I asked him while placing my glass on the counter and looking at him. "I don't know but she always said that she is b

    SHANE’S POV : She was shivering the whole time she told me about that incident. Panic crept up her skin, but I could not do anything but hold her tightly in my arms. I had never imagined seeing her like this, not even in my wildest dreams. She is the only one capable of challenging and resisting me. And the only one to ask me questions without even a trace of fear in her eyes. Damn, she had the audacity to slap me across the face. She is one of the strongest women I have ever seen. But then again, only those who have gone through the worst grow the hardest and create a rocky exterior for their lives. Tough on the outside and soft on the inside. She has been having nightmares every day. And I hate myself for not being there to comfort her each and every time she screams. Whoever did this to her will face the consequences and I will make sure to make their lives a living hell. "I did not want to be scared." Her words were barely a whisper. For once, she did not shout or yel

Sleeping all the time.Painkillers my ass!I have been sleeping for the whole day except for the time someone woke me up when it was time to eat and then again taking pills and, sleeping. But still, I’m tired even though I have been sleeping like a damn Koala.I almost tried to skip the pills if it was not for Ana who threatened to give me an injection instead of the pills and that too high dosage. I’m not afraid of syringes. At least not as much as the deadly company of Tess who warned me to eat my brain off with her… you know.. the X-rated things that she effortlessly talks about without any break.My virgin brain couldn’t take it. So, yes, I would rather take the pills and sleep instead of frying my brain off.Even now, if my phone isn’t buzzing like there is chaos going on, I wouldn’t be waking up.

    SHANE’S POV : “Lorenzo? What are you doing here?” My eyebrows shot up at the unexpected guest beside my sister.His gaze fixed on Camilla for quite a moment before looking back at me. “Came to watch the sunrise. Heard this balcony has the best view from your mother.”“Mmm. Yeah, it does.” I gave a short nod before looking back at Camilla who seemed to be indescribably nervous. Nervous? My sister? These two don’t match.But as I shift my gaze back at Lorenzo, he looks unreasonably perplexed. His face looks like he was flushed with a lot of questions. I wonder what they might be.My eyes darted back and forth from Lorenzo to Camilla before it settled on Cami. If I didn’t know anything better then I would have thought that something was going on between the two of them.“Cami, Mom was looking for you,” I said, observing their every reaction. Her expression doesn’t change much but Lorenzo’s brows shot up for a second before settling in place.“Okay.” She just nodded and walked past me si

Lied to me every f*cking day! And I believed him like a fool!“Camilla!!!”“Huh?”“Damn! You scared me for a second.”“Rudy?” When did he come? I didn’t even realise him coming. I have been on the balcony for God knows how long, staring into the dark sky full of stars and life in it. But the stars are fading now, which means, I have been lost in my thoughts for hours.I came here for stargazing, to find myself in the sky full of stars. But there would be no meaning if I’m not a star in anyone’s life. And I don’t have a Sun in my life. No stars and no Sun. My life is exactly like the night sky except it doesn’t have any stars other than the utter darkness and the Sun I thought would give lig

    SHANE’S POV : “So…” Vladimir startled for a second but soon composed himself before walking towards me. “How was the dungeon?” I asked while walking towards him with my hands in my pockets.“Nothing I haven’t seen before.” He looked relaxed, more carefree now as he was past all the lies.“Sure you do.” We are now in his bedroom. I released him from the cellar as soon as I knew Alina was fine.I knew it wasn’t him but he was the reason for the whole attack. They used the chance because of him. If it wasn’t for him then no one would dare to enter my house. Which is why he needs to be punished.Putting him in a cell might not be a punishment. But he already got the worst. Years of lies. Living with us, whom he thought as his enemies. He might made quite a lot of mistakes to sabotage us but mostly saved our lives which we are grateful for. Which is why I am still talking to him instead of shredding him into pieces. Yep, I had to deal with my father though after his death. But it would be

    ALINA’S POV : How does he know about my nightmares?“Isn’t it because of the bad dream you were frightened in the plane on our way here?” He asked.“Huh?” So, he doesn’t. For a second I thought he knew. A small part of me felt relieved while a big part of me felt disappointed because I wished he would know miraculously. Because I don’t know where to start. I wanted to tell him so badly. But don’t know how. Not a storyteller! He looked at me, arching his brows, waiting for me to confirm. “Yeah. Right!”He pursed his lips tight, jaw clenched, and looked away for a second before looking back at me, staring right into my eyes, quenching my soul with his. He was about to say something but was cut by the door creaking sound.We shifted our gazes towards the door and saw Jessica coming towards me, well scratch that, running towards me. “I’m dead.” I was mentally prepared.“Wait!” Before Jessica could engulf me and crush me with her hugs until she was satisfied, Shane stood up, shielding me

    GRACE’S POV : “Oh, for god sake!!” Emily shouted impatiently, “You brought us here for what? To help you with this f*cking piece of shit?” She asked, holding the little but nothing cloth in her hands.“Well…” Rudy pursed his lips tight and shrugged, “I just wanted to throw a pool party.”Emily groaned in anger and cursed under her breath. “Are you for real!!” She clutched the tiny cloth tight as if she was imagining it was his throat. Rudy must have understood her thoughts because he visibly gulped down. “Who the f*ck wears this for a pool party?” She threw the cloth at him, which he caught in the air.“Don’t be a party pooper. My ideas are very innovative and I know you are just jealous.” Rudy said with a smirk on his face.“Jealous?” Emily scoffed, “Of what? That empty head? Quit dreaming?”I was looking back and forth between the two of them. They have been doing this for almost an hour. Still not bored.I sat on the foot of the bed, hands on my knees and chin in my palms. Rudy as

    SHANE’S POV : “Who the f*ck tried to kidnap her?” “We don’t know. It was anonymous and couldn’t be traced. Whoever called, must have used a burner phone.” He said, gritting his teeth.A burner phone? This means he was prepared for the kidnap or he has easy access like us all. “Are you saying that you still don’t know who it was and he is still out there enjoying his life after trying to f*cking kidnap her?” I was boiling with rage. My veins are visibility ticking. Who the f*ck wanted to kidnap her? And why? “You think I let him go.” He arched his brows in displeasure. He curled his hands into tight fists, “That f*cker had it all planned. He made sure that no one could find him and covered all his tracks.” He cursed under his breath.He couldn’t track him, even after all these years? Who the f*ck is he? And what would have happened if Enzo wasn’t there on time? God! My pulse pounded at the thought. The mere thought that he could have put his hands on her… My heart swells with rage a

    SHANE’S POV : “Don’t worry,” Charles said after he cleaned up the wound and Band-Aid her. “She was lucky, the poison didn’t spread. Only a bit grazed her body, which might not be enough to kill her but enough to collapse.” He said while taking a vial of her blood in a syringe and storing it in two tiny glass containers that he brought with him. “Don’t look at me like that.” He said when I was staring at him. “I took these…” he showed me the blood containers, “…to run a few tests. To make sure that she is completely fine.” I rolled my eyes at him. But still, something doesn’t make sense. Why does he look tense when he is taking her blood? Is she really okay? Is he hiding something from me? “Will she be okay?” I asked him.“Of course. She will get conscious in an hour or so. And I will inform you if there are any traces of poison in her body once I get the results. But other than that, she is absolutely fine.” Relax flooded through my bones once I heard his words. “I’ll take my leave
