Falling Temptations Chapter 93 : Prank!
RUDY'S POV : "Look at you…" My brother pointed his finger at me as his brows knitted and face filled with amusement, "When was the last time that I saw you waiting for a girl?" He asked, with a smirk on his face. I rolled my eyes at him, "When was the last time that you have invited your assistant to our family ball much less asked as your date?" I asked him, "Oh, never, right!" I smirked when he had no answer and glared at me. Right now, we are waiting for the girls just outside their room door while they are getting ready inside. I was leaning on the wall with my eyes closed and arms crossed over my chest when my brother came here for Grace. We haven't even knocked on the door to tell them that we have arrived. Well, to be honest, I told Emily that I will wait for her in the lobby but I don't know why, but my feet just dragged me up here. But then, I decided to surprise her and wanted to see her reaction when she opened the door and saw me. I guess Omar wants to do the same as

ALINA'S POV : F*cking unbelievable! But, I like it. Because, no one will know who is behind the mask. "Well, It was a surprise for me also." Jessica said while wearing her mask. It was a masquerade ball and I only got to know about this now. Shane came in front of me with a designer mask in his hands, that comes up to my nose, which matches my dress, perfectly. "If you don't want to wear it, then that's completely fine. These are for guests not for family." Wh-what? What did he just say? Family? My heart skipped and I felt something inside my stomach. Stupid heart, stop fluttering over everything. And those butterflies need to stop flying over a simple matter. "No, it's fine. I actually liked the theme." I said while taking the mask from his hand but he held it tight which confused me. Jessica and Nate left us alone, walking ahead of us. "Let me do it." He gently placed the mask, and slowly moved towards my back to tie the knot. And when he did, he didn't move, neither did I. And

Meanwhile… THIRD PERSON'S POV : As the soft music started, everyone started pairing with their partners and started dancing slowly, to match the song. Everyone is enjoying the night with their friends or partners. Or that's what they are portraying outside. Who knows? Anything can be detectable, but human thoughts? Well I'm not a mind reader, so I don't have such powers. People may look good and behave well with us as if they are our friends but sometimes the ones who act as friends are the worst enemies that we ever have. So, we need to be careful. But for now, everything looks calm and everyone seems to be enjoying it. But one girl seems to be busy looking at all the items in the dining area. It looks like she is not at all interested in dancing. Her whole concentration is on the food and nothing else. She looks beautiful wearing a baby pink halter neck long gown, with matching mask and heels. But the way she held her dress when she tried to walk says that she is not good at w

ALINA’S POV : “You look stunning, my little devil,” Enzo said as we danced slowly to match the song.“I know.” I just shrugged with a smirk on my lips.He shook his head and chuckled, “You haven’t changed at all.”“Who said I had changed? It’s you, who thought that I have changed.” I said while taking a step forward while he took a step backwards.“Well, that was different. That change is different and I’m happy for it.” He said while swirling me around once before changing the partners.And he passed me to Aaron, as he switched partners with Jessica. “Stop talking nonsense, Enzo,” I said but he just smiled giving me a wink and whispered something in Jessica’s ear that made her laugh.“Is he bothering you, again?” Aaron said, pointing his gaze at Enzo. “His life is just a call away, you know. One call to Gio and he is done, for good.” Aaron smirked.I chuckled at Aaron’s suggestion while Enzo glared at Aaron which he ignored btw. “No need to call Pop. I can handle him.” I smirked, lo

OMAR’S POV : I f*cking couldn’t believe my eyes!“What the f*ck are you doing here?” I asked, trying to keep my cool in the middle of the dance floor where everyone was swaying their bodies to match the music.I was just enjoying the dance with Grace until it was time to switch partners much to my dismay. Do you have any f*cking idea of who I happened to switch partners with?Catherine!Yes, the woman who wanted to mess with me but failed. I didn’t punish her for what she did, because I didn’t need to, as she has experienced a much bigger one by falling in love with an asshole who used her as a pawn in his selfish games and doesn’t care about others' feelings or lives. I pity her for falling into his trap but that doesn’t mean I forgive her for whatever she did. She made a mistake when she tried to play with me, but coming to my family gala which my mother loves, is a big mistake!She placed her hands on my shoulder and I resisted the urge to throw her right away. But I didn’t want
Last Updated : 2023-10-16Falling Temptations Chapter 98 : Vladimir!
SHANE’S POV : I made sure everyone left the room except for the people that I trusted and the people who knew about us.I told Rudy to take the girls with him to a safe place before they came. And he did. He took Emily and Grace with him telling them there was an important thing that he needed help with. But Alina?I didn’t find her anywhere in the room. And it made me furious at myself for letting her leave out of my sight. I just hope Nate convinced Jessica to find Alina and take her to the safe place on time. Because, if something happened to Alina, I would never forgive myself! She is very important to me. And I couldn’t even think of seeing her hurt.“Are you ready?” My train of thoughts broke when I heard a voice beside me.I looked at Lorenzo and nodded, “Always.” I told Lorenzo about what was going on when he insisted on not leaving the ballroom all of a sudden. He is stubborn but yeah, he could be helpful, if things go unplanned. Because sometimes, situations are unpredicta

ALINA’S POV : “Yes, I killed him,” Daniel shouted, leaving us all in utter shock. We stood frozen, unable to utter a word, completely taken aback. Time seemed to stand still as his confession echoed through the room, piercing our hearts with its raw power.“Daniel…”“No, Mia.” Daniel raised his hand to stop his wife coming towards him. “He needs to know. Everyone needs to know. It’s now or never.” He said and then turned his gaze back towards Vladimir who was pointing his gun at him and waiting for him to answer.We were a minimum of thirty feet distance from them but the room was so awkwardly quiet that we could hear the conversation very clearly, even from here.“Yes, I killed him. But do you even know the reason why I did that?” He asked Vladimir.Vladimir scoffed, “Of course! You did it for power. To rule us, what else?”“Power?” Daniel shook his head letting out a small chuckle but there was hurt in his voice. “What power are you talking about, Vladimir? Do you think that I need
Last Updated : 2023-11-06Falling Temptations Chapter 100 : Poisoned!
SHANE’S POV : “Alinaa!!” Horror clipped my heart at the sight of her falling on the hard floor when the bullet hit her.I ran towards her to hold her but she did something that I couldn’t even think of her doing even in my dreams. She picked a knife from her shoe and threw it at the man who shot her, or my eyes were playing tricks on me? Why the f*ck she had a knife in her shoe? And how did she even manage to hide it?Nostalgia hit me hard but that flipped away and replaced with my heart racing with concern and fear the moment her body gave way and she sank to the floor, unconscious. I took her fragile body in my arms and held her head in my lap, patting her cheeks to wake her up. “Alina! Alina! Wake up, dammit!” She didn’t move.Fear dawned over me and gripped me tight enough I couldn’t breathe. I have never been this scared before. What if she was hurt badly? What if something happens to h-… No! I can’t! I can’t think of that. “Alina, please wake up!”“Shane!”“Call Ana!” I screame

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
