Allison's POV.As I entered the fancy restaurant, I couldn't help but be impressed by it. Rajesh had gone all out—he had booked the entire place just for the two of us, and his burly bodyguards stood guard around the perimeter.He had no idea I could take them down within minutes if I had to. He only saw a young, funky girl, completely unaware of who I really was.Rajesh stood up as I approached the table, his eyes lighting up with admiration. "Seraphina, you look stunning," he said, pulling out a chair for me."Thank you, Rajesh," I replied, flashing a smile. Tonight, I had chosen a sleek black dress that hugged my curves just right. My makeup was minimal but elegant, with a bold red lipstick to match. I had styled my hair in loose waves that framed my face perfectly.As we settled down, Rajesh couldn't take his eyes off me. "You really are a vision," he complimented again, his gaze lingering."You're too kind," I replied, my smile never faltering.The waiter brought our appetizers,
Allison's POV.The next day, Rajesh was waiting for me at the entrance of one of the city's most exclusive boutiques. He looked every bit the part of a wealthy, powerful man, surrounded by a small entourage of bodyguards. I approached with a confident stride, dressed in a form-fitting red dress that brought out my figure, paired with designer heels. My hair was elegantly styled, and I wore just enough makeup to highlight my features without appearing overdone."Seraphina," Rajesh greeted me with a broad smile, his eyes lighting up as he saw me. "You look stunning.""Thank you, Rajesh," I replied, giving him a charming smile. "Shall we?"Rajesh led me inside, where the boutique staff immediately sprang into action, bringing us champagne and ushering us into a private section of the store. The next few hours were a whirlwind of luxury. Rajesh spared no expense, buying me designer dresses, shoes, handbags, and jewelry. He seemed to delight in watching me try on different outfits, each
Williams POV.I sat in my office, my phone in hand, staring at Rajesh's number on the screen. I had to call him again. I had to know where we stood with the deal. More importantly, I had to understand why he was still so caught up in spending time with Allison, when there were enough women out there. I pressed the call button and waited, my heart pounding in my chest."Rajesh, it's Williams," I said as soon as he picked up. I tried to keep my voice steady, but the frustration seeped through."Ah, Williams," Rajesh replied, sounding annoyingly cheerful. "How can I help you?""I'm calling about our deal," I said, trying to remain calm. "We need to finalize it. What's the holdup?"There was a brief pause on the other end. "I'm quite busy at the moment, Williams. Let's give it a few more days."I clenched my fist, my knuckles turning white. "A few more days? We've been postponing this for days, Rajesh. What's going on?"Rajesh chuckled lightly. "I have some personal matters to attend to,
Allison's POV.Rajesh had arranged for a helicopter trip to show me around his empire, and I couldn’t help but be impressed by his audacity. The helicopter soared over the lush green landscapes and sparkling blue waters of his island. Through the headset, Rajesh pointed out various landmarks, describing his grand plans with an obvious excitement that almost made me forget why I was here.“That’s Rajesh Towers,” he said, his voice crackling slightly over the intercom. “It’s going to be the tallest building on the island. And over there, we’re developing a luxury resort—top of the line, nothing like it in the world.”I nodded, genuinely interested, which wasn’t hard given the scale of his projects. His passion for his work was contagious, and I allowed myself to be swept up in it, if only for a moment. I glanced at him, catching him staring at me like a lost puppy. His eyes were soft, his gaze unwavering. It was almost endearing.“You look cute like that,” I said with a smile, watchi
Allison's POV.The helicopter trip and dinner had gone perfectly according to plan. Rajesh was charmed, and I had him right where I wanted him. As we exited the restaurant, he took my hand, guiding me to one of his luxury cars with his guards following closely behind. "I want to spend the night with you, Seraphina," Rajesh said, his voice low and filled with intent. I knew exactly what he meant, and I kept my cool. "Lead the way," I replied with a seductive smile.We arrived at one of his top hotels, entering a private elevator that took us to the penthouse suite. I clutched my bag tightly, feeling the weight of the syringe hidden within. This was the moment I had been preparing for.As we stepped into the suite, staff moved around, bringing in refreshments and setting everything up for a perfect evening. The room was lavishly decorated, with plush furniture and a stunning view of the city skyline. Despite the grandeur, I only had one thing on my mind: the mission.I excused myself
Allison's POV.Rajesh and I arrived at TechFuture Innovations, his bodyguards trailing behind us. The building was sleek and modern, with large glass windows reflecting the morning sun. Fresh employees were around, keeping the place in immaculate order. The lobby was impressive, with a minimalist design that showed professionalism and ambition.I led Rajesh and his men through the building, my heels clicking confidently on the polished floor. "This way," I said, gesturing towards the elevator. "Mia and her partner are waiting for us."Rajesh nodded, looking around with an approving expression. "The place looks impressive," he remarked.I smiled, pressing the button for the top floor. "I knew you'd like it."When the elevator doors opened, we stepped into a spacious office with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a breathtaking view of the city. Mia and Viktoh, disguised under their aliases, were already waiting. Mia, now going by the name Elara, stood up with a welcoming smile, her dem
Williams POV.The day had started off rough, and it wasn’t getting any better. I had been trying to reach Rajesh for days now, anxious to finalize our $500 million deal. Today, I was determined to get answers. I dialed his number for what felt like the hundredth time. It rang a few times before a calm, professional voice answered. “Rajesh Patel’s office, how may I help you?”“This is Williams Luther,” I barked. “I need to speak with Rajesh. It’s urgent.”“I’m sorry, Mr. Luther, but Mr. Patel is currently unavailable,” the secretary replied, her tone maddeningly polite.“This is ridiculous! I’ve been trying to reach him for days. Put him on the phone now!”There was a slight pause, and then the secretary continued, “Mr. Luther, I regret to inform you that Mr. Patel is no longer interested in partnering with Montgomery Enterprise.”I felt my blood pressure spike. “What do you mean he’s not interested anymore? We were set to sign the deal!”The secretary remained unfazed. “Mr. Patel has
Allison's POV.Rajesh arrived alone at my apartment early in the evening, carrying several luxurious gift bags and looking genuinely remorseful. I opened the door, pretending to be surprised, and let out a small gasp. “Seraphina, please,” he began, his voice thick with regret. “I am so sorry for what happened. I had no idea my wives would come here, let alone humiliate you like that.”I stepped aside, allowing him to enter, but my expression remained cold. I made sure to keep my eyes slightly red and puffy, as if I had been crying.“Rajesh,” I said, my voice trembling slightly. “You lied to me. You never told me you were married. I had to find out in the worst possible way.”He placed the bags on the coffee table, opening one to reveal a stunning diamond necklace. “I know, and I’m deeply sorry. I brought these as a way to make it up to you. Please, Seraphina, believe me when I say that I care about you.”I glanced at the necklace and then back at him, crossing my arms. “You think gif
