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

    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

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

    EMILY'S POV : I jerked up raising from the bed in an instant after hearing the door knock continuously which is irritating me. Ahhhh, my head. Why does it hurt so much? Clutching my head because of this freaking headache and walking towards the door, I finally decided to open it to see the person who is disturbing me. Upon opening the door, I saw a woman standing there holding a tray in her hands. "Good morning Ms Wright. Really sorry, if I'm disturbing you. But here, take this." She handed me the tray. A coffee cup, some pills and breakfast were placed there neatly. "But I haven't ordered anything," I said looking confused. I would have thought she might have come to the wrong room if she didn't say my Last name. "Mr King personally told us to deliver breakfast to your room. And these are hangover pills to reduce your headache." She said pointing towards the pills. "If you need anything you can call us anytime. Good day, Ms. Wright." She said with a smile and left before I proces

    RUDY'S POV : I walked closer to know what was going on there before interrupting them. Alina placed her hand on the other girl who is beside her saying, "I'm her sister."What? She has a sister? Does she have the same attitude as her? I thought to myself while thinking that she might be good for Omar. I chuckled at that thought but that smile faded when… "Another b*tch." She muttered but still, I heard it clearly from my place and that's when I recognised that voice. She is not just someone I know but also someone I don't like. But why is she arguing with them? "What did you just say?" removing her hand from the girl's shoulder, Alina took a step forward towards her angrily. She scoffed, "What? Do you want me to repeat that? Fine by me, b-…" "Finish that word, I dare you." Alina looked so angry, "But I can't promise you that you will have your teeth to say that again." Damn, Alina warned her while taking one step closer which makes her take a step back. "A-are you threatening me

    ALINA'S POV : "Double-faced b*tch." Rudy and I said at the same time and burst out laughing realising that we have the same opinion on her. "Never thought that we would have the same opinion on someone," I said seeing that they have already left our eyesight. He chuckled nodding, "I'm glad that someone has the same opinion on her." "Everyone with eyes can see that," Jessica said and I nodded in agreement. "Yeah, only if they see her b*tch side… You don't even know completely about her, she is such a nice actress. She acts all sweet in front of everyone and plots something behind." "Still I don't understand, what Omar sees in her. I thought Omar is the sanest one of your brothers, then why is he dating her?" I asked him, probably hitting a nerve. He looked at me In disbelief, "By any chance, are you trying to say that Shane and I are insane ones?" "Obviously, do you expect me to deny that?" I said controlling my laugh. He looked at me raising his brows and glaring at me to deny

But still, there is a feeling in my stomach and my heartbeat starts racing whenever I see him.I still couldn't point out what it is and why I am feeling this whenever I see him. It's never happened to me, not even once in my life. Then why now? And most importantly, why him? I was lost staring into his glazing purple eyes until someone cleared his throat. I looked at him and saw Vlad, who is smirking while looking at us and also looking at Nate and Jessica and that's when I noticed Jessica is blushing under Nate's gaze. "You guys know that we are still here right?" "Shut up, Vlad." Shane and Nate said in unison. Vlad and the others around him laughed. I recognised most of them. Greyson, Tyler, Vlad and there is another man also whose name is still unknown to me but I recognised him because I saw him with Shane at the club when we first met. He looks just like Tyler but the only diff

    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

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

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
