Falling Temptations Chapter 22 : Boss's orders?
MEANWHILE IN OMAR'S OFFICE... OMAR'S POV : I just came to my office and saw that a coffee cup is already placed on my desk. "Grace." A smile formed on my face seeing the coffee cup. 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. And last but not least with Mr Shaw at 5'O clock in the evening, we have to go to their office for the meeting this time." She is saying all the details about my schedule while I'm sipping my coffee and listening to her sweet voice. "That's it for today, sir, do you need anything?" She asked a

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

SHANE'S POV : "Evening Boss." Tony greeted me as we entered the club. We just came here after preparing everything for tomorrow's meeting. "Evening Tony." I greeted him back and asked him, "So, You recruited the security again?" "Yes, Boss. And this time there won't be any unnecessary problems." He said confidently. "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

ALINA'S POV : "TAKE YOUR F*CKING HANDS OFF HER." I was pulled by him hitting his chest. "How dare you touch her?" I heard him shouting at Enzo. His scent hits my nostrils intoxicating me again. I raised my head to see his face.There he is again shouting with his domineering voice. He looked furious like he was going to murder someone. What's wrong with him? Is he drunk? I looked behind him and saw Nate was also there, glaring at Aaron. When Enzo turned to face us, their faces started to turn confused. But still returned to glaring again. Enzo pulled me to his side and pushed me behind him to cover me. "How dare you touch her without her consent?" Enzo asked furiously glaring at them. He knows my insecurities and always protects me as a big brother. Even though I'm strong and can manage, he doesn't let anyone come near me. "Are you okay Little devil?" He asked me and I nodded. And without listening to my further talk he just turned and glared at Shane. Shane tried to look at me bu
Last Updated : 2023-03-20Falling Temptations Chapter 26 : Sleeping kitten!
OMAR'S POV : I grabbed my phone getting off from work and went outside of my office to go home but was stopped in my tracks after seeing Grace sleeping on her desk. It's already midnight then why is she staying till now? She should be off work by now. No one was present outside and the lights were almost off. Only the light in my office is ON because of me and also here at Grace's desk. I had to stay late because of a meeting from overseas. But why is Grace still here and that too on a Friday night? I went to her side and saw that her system is still ON and took a glance at it just to see that she is working on the project. So, that's why she is staying late. But she shouldn't have to, why is she pressuring herself? I turned off the computer and looked at the cute little kitten beside me who is sleeping so peacefully. I pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear which is covering her beautiful face. A small smile curved upon her lips showing her cute dimples. It should be a crime
Last Updated : 2023-03-22Falling Temptations Chapter 27 : Mom?
OMAR'S POV : "What the f*ck do you want now?" "LANGUAGE, OMAR." The person on the other side shouted which startled me. I checked my phone only to realise that I have made a big mistake."MOM..."Sh*t… Without wasting any second I apologized which is very important. And if I don't say it right away, I will be in danger. "Mom… I'm sorry, I didn't see that you were the one calling me." Yeah, it's my mom. "Is everything alright mom?" I asked her. "No OM, everything is not okay, and you have to fix it." She said shouting on the other side. What could have triggered her anger now? "What happened, Mom?" I asked her in concern. "Did you forget that I have already said that you guys have to come to the ball with a companion?" She asked me. Seriously, is this the reason that she has called? Rolling my eyes at her, "Yes, I remember." "I can guess that you are rolling your eyes at me, young man. And you know what would happen if I were there to see you rolling your eyes at me." She said i

NEXT DAY MORNING… SHANE'S POV : "Did you talk to Jessica?" I asked Nate who was busy checking the file. He nodded but didn't say anything. "What did she say?" He sighed, "She wanted me to make it up to her, for avoiding her. Until then she won't talk to me." "Then make it up to her," I said taking the file from his hand. "How can I? when she doesn't even give me a chance to talk to her." He said crossing his arms over his chest sitting on the desk. I chuckled, "You got yourself a hard one." He glared at me. "Okay, okay, she won't talk to you but she never said that she won't meet you right? Then you have a chance to make her talk to you." "Yeah, that's what still makes me sane. I'll make her talk to me." He said confidently. "I know you can do it but this time, don't screw it up," I said walking towards the glass window and seeing that they have just arrived. Nate laughed, "I won't." "Boss, they came," Seth said while entering the office. "Let them in," I told him and he no

RUDY'S POV : After what feels like an eternity, finally, the fights are completed for today. I have been waiting for Lioness to appear all of a sudden but no, there is no sign of her since that night. Maybe she just came to test her strength after a long time. That might be one of the reasons, possible right? But who knows when she will appear again and that's why I have been coming here every day so that I can see her fight again. I just wanted to know who is behind that mask and who trained her so well for becoming one of the strongest fighters in the world. And what could be the reason behind her fierce attitude, It's just my curiosity, always wanting to know everything and wanna solve a mystery. I have been having doubts. Doubts about her being a part of criminal background. Then only she can learn from the strongest fighters just like us. But it's just my thoughts though. It could be true or false. Whatever it is, I just wanted to know about her. I became a fan of her fights

Falling Temptations Chapter 109 : Kiss me!
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
Falling Temptations Chapter 108 : Fear!
ALINA’S POV :Buzz…Buzzzz… **Ufff! Not now!Damn, these pills! These are making my body like a damn jelly as if I have no control over it. Sleeping. 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. But when I tried so hard to rise fr
Falling Temptations Chapter 107 : Suspicious!
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
Falling Temptations Chapter 106 : Heartbreak!
CAMILLA’S POV : Why is this happening to me?Why does everyone that I trust end up betraying me?My love life!Once is a mistake but twice?I’m such stupid to believe that love ever existed in my life.“Cami…”How can I ever trust anyone again after all this?“Cami!!”He f*cking used me for years! 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
Falling Temptations Chapter 105 : Love or Lies?
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
Falling Temptations Chapter 104 : New Target!
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
Falling Temptations Chapter 103 : Finally!
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
Falling Temptations Chapter 102 : She knows?
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
Falling Temptations Chapter 101 : The Past and The Traumas!
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
