GRACE'S POV : "Nervous?" Omar asked me when he saw me fidgeting my fingers continuously. Yes, I'm nervous, this is the first time I'm going to his house. Of course, I'm nervous! I nodded before answering, "A little." He smiled while taking my hand into his, and tracing my palm with the pad of his thumb. That gesture relaxed my nerves and eased my tension. He knows how to relax me with just a single gesture. A single touch from him can calm my nerves in a second, I wonder why? I smiled at him and waited for the elevator. The same elevator where Catherine tried to insult me. I wonder where she is now, I haven't seen her for a while now. Maybe she is busy. And when I thought about that incident, I remember how she defended me. Alina, she is the one who saved me from the humiliation which Catherine had planned that day. I wonder where she is now, she is so supportive and very kind. And when I look at her, I just couldn't help but wish to have a sister like her. She is the kind of si
ALINA'S POV : "What?" I gasped in shock. I was surprised to hear that my sister is here. I mean why would Sarina come here? She is still a kid and doesn't even know this place. Before I was going to ask him, Rudy moved slightly away from his spot revealing… "Grace?" I was surprised to see her and a smile played on my lips immediately after seeing her. "Hey Alina…" She waved at me with the same cute smile that I remembered when I first saw her a few days ago, which shows her cute dimples. If something matches between us then that definitely is our dimples. Apart from our physical appearance, our characters are quite different. She is a cute and innocent girl while I am completely the opposite of her. I ran towards her and hugged her tightly not giving her enough space to breathe, but she didn't complain and hugged me back with the same intensity. What can I say, I like her that much and I don't even know why I connected with her so easily just like I connected with Emily. They ar
ALINA'S POV : "You are?" Camilla asked Grace, who was looking at us in confusion as she doesn't know what was going on here. "Cami, this is Grace, my personal assistant, and Grace, that's my sister, Camilla." Omar did the introduction part. Grace smiled saying hello, but Camilla went and hugged Grace so that she wouldn't feel awkward in front of her. That's what Camilla is, always welcomes people with open heart and makes sure that they won't feel uncomfortable around her even though she is one of the scariest assassins in the world. "I heard a lot about you," Camilla said with a smile and then winked at Omar with a smirk on her face. Omar chuckled lightly and shook his head while smiling. "Grace, let's go. We have a lot to catch up on." Camilla said placing her hands on both of her shoulders. Grace looked at Omar who smiled and nodded, "Go, I'll put your bag in your room." She nodded and then shifted her gaze towards me. Taking my hand in hers, "You are coming with me, right?"
SHANE'S POV : "Will you just stop doing that?" I frowned while looking at my little brother, who is hell-bent on glaring at me with a frown formed on his forehead ever since we set foot on the jet. I bet that frown will leave a permanent mark on his face if he does that for one more hour. It's been an hour and a half by now, but he still hasn't stopped giving me those deadly glares as if he can scare me with that exact copy of my eyes. Right now, we all are in my private jet going to L.A. to attend the ball. And everyone is busy with their own company, some of them are sleeping while some of them are passing their time by talking with others. Omar is with his assistant, whose name is Grace, she looks exactly like what he has told me. An innocent little girl who has gotten the interest of the calm yet hard-to-please King. Omar, you may think you know him just by his looks and his calm personality, but trust me when I say there is a lot more. He just doesn't show it, but he is stil
THIRD PERSON'S POV : Alina screamed her lungs out in panic when she realized that she is not in the penthouse anymore. But it's not just that which made her sweat, she is in a freaking plane which she didn't even know where it was going. But then she saw a door and hurriedly walked towards it. Everyone was startled and jumped out of the place from where they are currently sleeping at, when they heard Alina's scream and looked at the persons who were standing in front of the door in confusion. Grace woke up from her sleep and blushed when she realized that she had been sleeping on her boss's shoulder. "I'm sorry…" Grace mumbled, lowering her head as her cheeks turned bright pink. Omar smiled and said, "No problem." Even though, he was the one who made her sleep on his shoulder. Emily clutched Rudy's shirt hard and pulled him towards her when she heard the scream. Rudy looked at her in surprise but stayed like that, looking at the startled beauty snuggling into him closer. And when
ALINA'S POV : I was furious when I heard that I was going to L.A. They are taking me with them and that too without my consent. How could they do it? Most importantly how can my best friend let it happen? She knew everything about me and what I went through, yet she helped them. I was hurt and felt betrayed by all of them. But do you know what hurts me the most? It's the person who did it. Yeah, he didn't know about my insecurities and all but still, how can he just take me like this? Rage filled my eyes as I took every step towards him. My heart felt heavy with every step I took and I lost control. "You f*cking kidnapped me?" I shouted letting my anger out and slapped him hard across the cheek with a sharp blow as it resounded again and again making me come out of my anger realizing what I just did. Utter silence… That's what it is after the resounding effect of my hard slap. All eyes were wide open in shock. I need space, I couldn't breathe in front of all these gazes. All of
SHANE'S POV : Her palm touched my cheek hard enough for me to hear the resounding effect in my ears. I was surprised and shocked to the extent that I didn't move a step and stood there as a statue, looking at her with wide eyes. All eyes were wide opened in utter shock and their mouths went agape, looking at us. It was unbelievable and unexpected. I closed my eyes shut as my hands curbed up into tight fists and my jaw clenched. I'm trying so f*cking hard to control the anger that felt in my veins. That burning sensation on my cheek is starting to irritate me. No one, literally no one has ever raised their hands on me. The Images of her slapping me are flashing in my mind, reminding me continuously, giving me no chance to control myself even if I closed my eyes. And the pain is not helping at all. She f*cking slapped me and that too right in front of my team, insulting me in front of everyone. I couldn't just tolerate it. I opened my eyes and saw that she was running towards the r
SHANE'S POV : We were lost in each other's arms and forgot about everything that happened. But then it hit me, pull yourself together, Shane. You came here to tease her and to punish her. Control yourself. But who am I kidding? I am punishing myself by thinking of punishing her. F*ck! She will be the death of me. This woman, didn't even know what she was doing to me. I have known her just a few days and all I could think of was her being in my arms and her lips on mine. Her lips started becoming my new obsession. And I can't get enough of her. She is the only one that makes me feel like this and it makes no sense. But some things in life make no sense. And we spend our entire lives trying to make sense of it. While we should enjoy those moments. I pulled away from her with the tiny bit of self-control that was left in me. I watched her while taking breaths and chuckled. She opened her eyes and started panting while gasping for air. She looks confused and that's where the game beg
