SHANE'S POV :

"If you are finished staring at your girlfriend, can you please tell us now about what happened last night?" Omar and I, both of us asked Rudy, covering the smirks on our faces.

"GIRLFRIEND?" Rudy and Emily both said in surprise, "What girlfriend?" Emily was about to sit to argue with us and Rudy helped her to sit before she hurt herself by doing so. He knows that she won't hear now if he asks her to lie down.

"Isn't she your girlfriend?" We asked them again, teasing our little brother.

"NO." Rudy and Emily said loudly.

"Okay, okay, stop. No need to shout. We can hear your voice very clearly." Omar said, laughing along with me.

"Now, tell us about what happened last night and who attacked you?" I asked Emily.

"Actually, a group of guys tried to assault her, luckily I came there on time." Rudy said on behalf of Emily.

"You mean to say, those guys came for her and you came afterward?" I asked him.

"Yeah, that's what happened." Rudy replied. "And when I thought I k

    SHANE'S POV : We all walked outside the cabin after bidding our goodbyes to Emily and went towards my office where everyone was waiting for us to discuss a serious matter. "How is she?" Camilla asked us after we entered the office. "She's fine. Ana, you go and check on her after this meeting." I told her and she nodded. "Okay, Shane." "Now, we have an important thing to discuss. Omar, tell us what happened." I asked him and he came forward to explain what happened. "Is everything okay?" Rudy asked. He doesn't know what happened because he was busy with Emily last night. We haven't discussed anything with others yet, but Omar told me everything last night when everyone went to their rooms as it is already late, and also with Emily's situation. "It's about Catherine," Omar said. "What of her?" Rudy asked in utter hatred. "I broke up with her," Omar said and was about to explain further but… "F*cking finally." Rudy said disturbing him again. "RUDY…" "Okay, okay. Continue." "

    SHANE'S POV : "What do you want to talk about, Shane?" Rudy asked trying to escape from my grip. "Who is she?" I asked him. "Who are you talking about? It's our sister, Camilla." Camilla hits his head, "Ouch, what was that for?" "Idiot. He is not talking about me. He is asking about that brown-haired girl who was with you last night." "Her name is Emily." He said protectively. "Oh, Emily." We all said, smirking and teasing him. He sure is protective of her and I can see that he is catching feelings again. But I need to know who she is before he completely falls for her because I don't want my brother to get hurt again. We can't bear to see it again if someone hurts him again. "Stop it, you guys. Nothing is going on. She is just a customer who is staying in our hotel, that's it." He said trying to avoid eye contact. He knows that we can tell if he likes someone by looking into his eyes, just like he knows when we like someone. We have this bond, which is very strong and irreplac

    MEANWHILE… TESSA’S POV : “Tessa, wait,” Greyson called my name when I was about to leave the office after the meeting. I don’t want to talk with that idiot. How dare he kiss me and then say it was a mistake? The audacity of this man, I don’t want to see him. I increased my walking pace so that I can reach my room without looking at him. If I see him now, I don’t know what I’ll do. But he still followed me trying to catch up with me, “Tess, please. I want to talk to you.” “Go away, Greyson. I don’t want to talk to you.” I shouted but he didn’t listen and blocked the door just before I enter my room. Perks of having long legs, what’s the use of walking fast, if he can still catch up with me, “I said, get lost.” “Tessa, please listen to me once. Just give me one chance to explain.” He said but I don’t want to hurt myself anymore. “Just get lost, Greyson. There is nothing to talk about or to explain anything.” I said trying to push him aside but he didn’t even budge. “Fine, if you

    ALINA'S POV : "Where's everyone?" Jessica asked, looking at the empty penthouse which is extremely silent. "Never thought that I'm gonna say this, but I miss those annoying people who always like to irritate me and not this freaking silence." Jessica let out a small chuckle upon hearing my not-so-sarcastic joke. We just arrived and ever since, we didn't see anyone, not even a single word was heard. Silence, that's what it screams and I'm really telling you this, I don't like this one bit when the whole penthouse looked empty and silent. Ever since I have known them, this is the first time I'm seeing the entire hall empty. And the fact that I'm missing them, reminds me of how close I became with them. Even though they are annoying as hell, still it felt good to be with them. It reminds me of my friends in Italy, yes Enzo's team. They are also like this, even though they are a bunch of criminals and fear nothing, they always behave like teenagers who enjoy their time with friends a

Ever since I met these people my mind is playing games with me and I always feel like I have known those people whoever I meet which in fact I had never met them at all.I should stop overthinking and I'm gonna hit that fighting club again to clear my f*cking mind. If not, it won't stop playing games with me. Jessica shook my shoulder, "Alina…" and called my name breaking the trance of my thoughts. I came back to my senses and realized that Ana is introducing us to her. "Emily, this is Alina and that's Jessica. Our friends and also Camilla's wedding planners." Ana introduced us. "Hey…" I waved my hand giving her a smile and Jessica did the same. "How are you feeling now?" I asked her, going towards her. "Hey… Feeling better now." She replied smiling back at us and then looked at Ana, "By the way, who is Camilla?" She asked her. Doesn't she know about Camilla? Didn't Rudy tell her about his family? "You d

    ALINA'S POV : "Shane?" I muttered in my breath but Camilla heard me and looked at me, perplexed as to why I said her brother's name. "Huh?" She followed my gaze and looked behind her to see if her brother was there but the door was already closed and when she opened it again, no one was there. I know that you will think that I'm going crazy but trust me I can sense his scent, anywhere. And I saw him behind that door looking at me with those intense purple eyes just before she closed the door. For a second our gazes met each other, locking our eyes. His scent hits my nostrils hypnotizing me and making my heart flutter again. I thought he was playing games and would come inside but he didn't. Why? Why do I get all these feelings just by a small glimpse of him and just by his damn cologne? Damn you, Shane, What are you doing to me? And just like every time, his scent is still stuck in my mind. Calm down, Alina, you are overthinking. Damn all these feelings, I'm definitely going t

    ALINA'S POV : "You know what?" Rudy said, getting our attention, "Why don't you move in? I mean you are planning Camilla's wedding and it's pretty tiring to come and leave every time."This guy. Is he trying to get himself killed or what? Scratch that when I said he is a little stupid. He is completely stupid, no brain cells at all. I glared, arching my brows at him, "What did you say?" and asked him menacingly daring him to repeat it again crossing my arms over my chest. He gulped down seeing my angry face and didn't dare to repeat it again. 'That's what I thought.' I smirked seeing his scared face. Enzo isn't kidding when he calls me little devil and his father's favorite one. I got that name because I can scare anyone with just my eyes and one glare is enough just like his father. His father is the scariest one and is called by the name 'The Devil', he isn't someone to mess with. "Actually, Rudy is right. Why don't you guys stay here?" Camilla said when Rudy remained silent.

Before I even realised where I was going, my feet stopped halting my steps, in front of Ana's cabin and I saw Camilla going inside the cabin.And just before the door was about to close, I saw her standing there with her gorgeous smile that shows her cute dimples, as stunning as ever. Even a small glimpse of her is making my heart flutter.My eyes were glued to her and when she saw me looking at her, our gazes met, just for a second which is enough to ignite the fire inside me, and I saw how her lips moved when she said my name.

    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. But when I tried so hard to rise fr

    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
