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
RUDY'S POV : It's been half an hour since Shane went inside the room and locked the door, angrily. We tried to stop him but he didn't listen to any of our protests and went inside the room. And now, we are worried about Alina. I don't know what my brother will do after the humiliation. Even though I'm pretty sure that he won't hurt her, I still couldn't help but worry. Because it's a big issue. Alina slapped him right in front of everyone, insulting him in front of his whole team. This is why I am worried. Knowing Shane, he won't take it lightly, because he is a f*cking leader and has a reputation to keep. But it's not Alina's fault, her anger took control over her, because of the situation she was in. In fact, who wouldn't slap the person that kidnapped her? Only if you have a death wish though. But of course, Alina doesn't care about anything as she is the most dangerous living thing herself. Even though she is not a killer, she definitely behaves like one. "What's going on? He
ALINA'S POV : "Stupid! Idiot!" I was pacing back and forth in the room and cursing myself for raising my voice at Jessica. I shouldn't have shouted at her. She must be hurt seeing me like that. "Why can't you just control your anger issues, Alina? How can you raise your voice at Jessica?" I groaned at my own words. Then I heard a chuckle, stopping me in my tracks. "That's because I messed up." I turned and saw Jessica, standing near the door. "Big time." She said, walking towards me and pulling me into a tight hug. "I am sorry!" "No. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have raised my voice at you. It's not your fault. He is the one who did it. But I shouted at you." I hugged her back, squeezing her with my hands while apologizing for what I did. She chuckled but then heaved a sigh before saying, "It's not him, Alina." "What?" I pulled back from her, looking at her in shock. She sighed deeply, "It was me who gave you the sedative. He didn't even know that." "WHAT?" I was completely shocked t
LOS ANGELES… ALINA'S POV : After a while… We have finally landed in L.A and got picked up by a few men who were waiting for us in luxurious cars. The weather here felt good, as it is still early, and the streets look mostly clear giving us a chance to look at the beautiful city without any interruption because of traffic and the honking sounds.After half an hour of the journey by car, we finally reached, and entered a huge gate. Then I saw a huge mansion through the window. It looks beautiful and elegant with a classy look and the garden area looks so beautiful with different kinds of flowers that give life to it. "Wow…" Jessica squealed when she saw the mansion. I chuckled at her, even though we lived in a mansion when we stayed in Italy, I can't say that I'm not impressed with this one. It really looks awesome.But the interior exceeds the exterior with its beauty. As we entered inside, a lady received us with a smile on her face and took us to our rooms. Grace and Emily went
