The Scoundrel's Hero Chapter 18
Elena’s POVSo tell me about yourself Elena. He said while eating still and I involuntarily took a deep breath. This is one topic I hate to talk about, and I am not planning to start telling this total stranger anything about me. I smiled at him as I took another bite from my snack.There is nothing interesting about me Damian, I better not bore you with my stupid and boring story. Your story can never be boring, I want to hear it. He smiled flirting. Why don’t you tell me about yourself instead? I said Immediately after with a charming smile which I was sure he couldn’t resist, and yeah he opened up to me. I am Damian Prinkstone, the only son of the Prinkstone's, and the sole heir to the second most riches company in the world, after Vincent’s of course. He said and I gasped in surprise. Your kidding. I said in disbelief and he nodded.Yes I am. He said and we had a good laugh on that. After we were done laughing, he smiled and told me.Ok, I might have over exaggerated, I am jus

Elena’s POVI woke up to the ray of sunlight on my face, and I groaned in discomfort. I thought I had closed those windows before going to bed last night. I thought and with my left hand, I dragged a pillow and covered my face with it, but the pillow was dragged off my face immediately. Wake up sleepy head, you are going to be late for work. I heard someone yell, and I groaned again.Go away! I cried still with my eyes shut tight, and I heard the person sigh. Of course I will leave you to rest, I just wanted to tell you that it’s 6:37 already. She said and probably left, because I heard the door shut, and I turned around to continue my sleep. Her words suddenly began to echo in my head, “You will be late”, “Its 6:37 already”. Why was she telling me all those? I found my self wondering in my sleeping state, and then like a bell, it occurred to me, and I remembered all about my new job, I opened my eyes and jumped off the bed rushing into the bathroom. Fuck, I am going to be late. I

Elena's POVIt certainly is not everyday that your ass of a boss tells you to come closer after you had practically bathed him with hot coffee, so no one should blame me for feeling this scared.I stood there unable to move. I needed to be sure that I heard him correctly, and when he looked up again to look at me, I didn’t need any other person to make me know that he wasn’t joking. Why are my afraid again? I asked myself deeply. This morning, I had planned to return his aggression with one of my own, and now am here practically afraid to take a few steps closer to where he was sitting. Terrific. That’s possibly because you spilled hot coffee on him. My inner mind whispered, and I blotted it out. Taking a deep breath, I took three steps closer to him, and was only few steps away from his table. He looked at me as though I was stupid, before he waved me over with a cold look on his face. Don’t be afraid of him Elena, he can never be as scary as your father, and yet you stoo

Vincent’s POVThe look on her face as she brought in the guests was priceless. I knew how tensed she will be after the experience here in the office. I had just wanted to humiliate her as soon as she entered my office earlier, but being close to her at that point almost made me lose my self control. Her lips looked enticingly beautiful and full up close. It took up my whole self control not to kiss her at that point. I had watched her bite her lips a couple of times, and I am guessing it was becoming a habit, but each time she does that, it sends a shudder through me, and I would always feel the need to claim her lips. As much as I wanted to kiss her so badly, watching her close her eyes tightly as though in anticipation of the kiss, I couldn’t help the smile that spread across my lips. She looked so adorable, and again, it became really hard to fight the urge to kiss her. I almost did kiss her which I wasn’t sure how her reaction will be afterwards, but as I drew closer to now

Elena’s POVYou do know that you are very beautiful right? Betty asked as soon as we got to our table with our food tray well balanced on our hands. Though feeling sad and completely bothered, i let a small smile appear on my lips as we sat down. Really? I asked in forged excitement, and Betty nodded with a broad smile that displayed almost all her teeth set. Yes. When I saw you enter this morning, I couldn’t help but stare stupidly at you. Your beauty is very captivating. She said, and I just didn’t know how to reply them without sounding all cheezy. You have this rare ability which makes you stand out among all others. Maxwell chipped in as he took the next available seat, right beside Betty. Right. Because I managed to fall and spill hot coffee on my boss now makes me practically able to stand out among others. I said with a note of sarcasm that didn’t go unnoticed by them of course, because he narrowed his eyes at me. I never meant it like that. He said calmly, and I

Vincent’s POVShe walked through my door, looking so fucking irresistible and I had to remind myself continuously that I was supposed to be angry at her, and not staring stupidly at her. You sent for me sir? She asked calmly as soon as she was few feet away from my table. My eyes moved to her face, and I noticed a few more traces of tears, and of course her eyes were completely red, making it very obvious that she had been crying. I felt a little pain in my chest after realizing that she had been crying. It’s past lunch break, and yet you are not back at your work space, instead I find you turning my company into a lovers play spot. Care to explain why? I asked her with my hands fixed in my pant’s pockets, as I stared at her, with no hint of amusement on my face. She looked confused briefly, and then something that looked like recognition flashed through her eyes, and she sighed, her face never leaving the sad spot even for once.I’m sorry sir, it wouldn’t happen again. She

Elena's POV I felt someone tapping me and I groaned. Let me sleep Amelia please, my ass of a boss made me work so much and now I am so tired. I wanted to go see mother today, but he refused to let me go. I groaned, and surprisingly she stopped tapping me. Happy that for the first time, she listened to me and left me to sleep, I smuggled closer to my pillow, holding it as though my life depended on it. My pillow smelt nice, it smelled expensive and masculine. Unlike other pillows, this one was a bit too strong for a normal pillow, but surprisingly I felt so comfortable lying on this particular pillow. Slowly, my eyes opened, and I found myself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling. The roof was dark and car like. No, I have to be dreaming. Am in a car or something? Unwilling to sit up yet, I let my eyes sweep the environment, until they settled on him….Ahhhh… I screamed and quickly sat up, moving as far away from him as possible. He was there staring down on my face with an u

Elena's POVI looked in between father and son trying as best as possible to hide the fact that I was surprised at the development. You know you still have a lot to learn as regards to our family business, and I wouldn’t want any form of any misconducts and disgrace. Mister Blackwood said as he continued eating in a dignified manner that displayed so much of his authority. My eyes slowly shifted to my boss who was sitting opposite me just in time to see him clinging his fists from rage, and his face held a great amount of rage, much more bigger than the frown that had appeared on his face when I poured hot coffee on him. I couldn’t help but wonder why he believed that his son was capable of disgracing him in business. In as much as I detest my boss, I always stand for the truth which is that my boss was one of most successful business men in the world. Suddenly enraged by his arrogance, I found myself defending my annoying boss for reasons still unknown to me. With all du

Narrator’s POV The two sat opposite each other chatting as though they had been friends for years. Elena felt strangely comfortable with Eric that she almost forgot that this was a revenge plan. “So tell me Lena, can I call you that?” He asked with a calm smile. Elena nodded in response. “What brings you to Paris?” Elena smiled cutely. “Business, I am on a business trip with my boss.” She responded. His eyes widened in surprise. “Really, does that mean you are not staying, I was hoping to buy you dinner tonight, you can at least make it right?” “She will not be available.” Someone said behind them right before Elena could get the chance to reply him. Elena didn’t need to turn to know it was Vincent and so she didn’t turn, she only stared ahead and then back at Eric who was now looking at her questioningly as Vincent came to stand with them. “Sorry who….?” “He's my boss.” Elena replied shortly, cutting Eric’s intended question to a stop. Again he looked very surprise.
The Scoundrel's Hero Chapter 47
Elena’s POVThe meeting with the Mandel executives had ended well. They signed in with our company, which seemed to be a huge success because even though Vincent refused to show it, he was very glad.I watched him with a little smile as he shook hands with the executives, promising them that they would not regret signing in with the company. His mood seemed to lighten throughout the way as we made our way back to where our car was packed. I was deeply tempted to taunt him about the smile on his face that he kept trying to hide, but I decided against it.He seemed to be in a good mood, and it probably was the best time to question him about how I ended up in his room last night. I wanted to know if it was a dream that he had slept beside me, or was it a reality. The thought itself somehow excited me, but believing me there is no way I am accepting that conclusion. Your mom’s surgery is going to happen today. He said out of the blues, and my eyes widened.I thought it was supposed to
The Scoundrel's Hero Chapter 46
Narrator’s POV Duello opened the door for him and he carried her into the suit with a deep frown on his face. He had achieved completely nothing tonight and it was pissing him off, but somehow having her in his arms helped drive his rage away. He took her to his own room and laid her on the bed while watching her sleep. She was complaining way too much, and suddenly she fell into a faint-like sleep. He knew she must have been scared, and suddenly he felt sorry for leaving the way he did. He watched her calmly with a little smile on his face at how beautiful and cute she looked while sleeping like a baby. He hated himself for how he was slowly feeling for her, but he knew he couldn’t control the feeling because he was already in too deep. Taking a deep breath, he pecked her forehead, and then left the room to meet Duello at the living room where he stood waiting for him. Sir the manager had provided another suit for her. He said immediately as soon as his boss came into view, bu
The Scoundrel's Hero Chapter 45
Narrator’s POV The food was soon delivered to her, and even as she ate she couldn’t help the feeling of guilt that kept crowding her mind, and soon she was brooding, but it never stopped her from enjoying her food at all. Once she was done eating, she found herself staring at his door from time to time, hoping that he would step out and smile at her like he used to, but he never did. She was about to step back into her room when his door suddenly opened, and he stepped out looking so dashingly hot. It took all her will power not to drool at him, and instead she turned away from him almost immediately and headed for her room as though she was not looking out for him some minutes ago. He barely spared her a glance before he walked over to the door and stepped out without talking to her, and that was when she paused. Was he actually ignoring her? She wondered sadly as she glanced after his retreating self, and sighed deeply. Deciding not to think about his actions, she went to wat

Narrator’s POVElena, wake up! She heard a voice call her softly followed by a little tap on her shoulder, and she slowly opened her eyes to see her boss/fake boyfriend staring down at her with an unreadable expression. Are you awake now? He asked and she blinked twice before nodding. He nodded as well and then moved away from her, only to stand up and began to walk away. She sat there confused, trying to understand what exactly was going on until her eyes went outside the window, and only then did she understand that they had arrived. The jerk couldn’t just tell me that, could he? She mused and grumpily stood up and followed his retreating back out of the plane only to see that he wasn’t at the foot of the plane waiting for her. She was getting very annoyed at his recent behavior until she saw a figure coming her way, and a middle aged man dressed in a black suit walked to her and bowed. Bienvenue à Paris madame, j'espère que votre voyage a été agréable. He said while still bowi

Narrator’s POV Then get him to marry you! His words kept echoing in her head, as she found herself unable to make any other movements. Slowly, she turned to face the man who was staring at her with a cold look on his face even though his mouth was pulled into a grin which didn’t quite lighten his face at all. Determined not to let the man ride or intimidate her, she gave him a fake smile which was so obvious that the man’s eye widened a bit at her expression. Well with all due respect sir, I know you mean well, but I had like to remind you that you really have no right over your son’s relationship, and we will decide to get married if we feel like and when we want. She told him in a voice that gave out completely nothing, and the man’s eye narrowed at her slightly. Even though he was troubled by her choice of words, he smiled at her boldness and nerves to talk back at him with no fear at all. Just a little number out of a huge number would even stand before him without shaking,
The Scoundrel's Hero Chapter 42
Narrator’s POVHe walked off without any fore warning, and she quickly went after him while consistently dragging down the shirt as she half ran after him. They made their way through the wide sitting room and out of the mansion which seemed all familiar too her. Butler Ken had immediately got to clean up the table as soon as they left, and she somewhat felt sorry for having the old man clean up her mess. He led her towards the car park where about six of his men were waiting for him, including Mark whose eyes widened in surprise on seeing her wearing his boss's shirt, but he quickly masked the surprise with a look of seriousness. Duello held the door to the choice black car Vincent had picked out of the thousands of other expensive looking cars, and she went in first as directed by him. As soon as she was sitted, he entered the car as well. They sat side by side, while Elena tried her best to focus on her breathing instead of the fact that their shoulders were touching from how c
The Scoundrel's Hero Chapter 41
Narrator's POVShe stared at him as though he had just vomited a load of rubbish, and then she scoffed. Please tell me you are joking. She said with a surprised expression on her face, but he only shrugged. It is either that or your life. He said in a low voice that sent chills through her, and she frowned at him. Was he really threatening her or what? She wondered with a frown directed at him but his face remained static. If I don't stay with her, where else could I possibly stay? She asked him in despair, and he didn't need any thinking process because the desired answer was in his brain. You can stay here until everything is resolved; I have many rooms in this mansion. He told her and even before he could complete the statement, she was already shaking her head in refusal. No, I can't stay with you. She told him firmly and he frowned. Maybe she was refusing because they fought. Hey Elena, this isn't anything we could take for granted. You not staying with me are completel
The Scoundrel's Hero Chapter 40
Narrator's POVVincent had just returned from the company, when he received the news that his 3 cargos of special arms and weapons had been stolen from the port. He was stressed that was for sure, but he wasn't willing to let it show. Duello as usual found his spot standing right in front of him inside his home office where he now was, walking around in deep thoughts and anger. Who leaked the news to them? He asked Duello who sighed before answering. I am still on it sir, I will get the information needed as soon as possible. He said quietly, and Vincent groaned. Could he possibly go a day without troubles of any sort? He wondered as he turned towards the window calmly, and began to think of possible ways to recover the stolen weapons. Whoever took those weapons would still have them in his possession, because there is no way 3 cargos of Italian arms would have left this region in two hours. I need you to track down every truck or any movements of any sort that could be related to
