All Chapters of Alina’s Redemption : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

TRENT POV So this is one of the times I actually ditch my plans of spending the night at Alina's, especially when she sounded a bit down in the dumps over the phone earlier when I told her that I would have to pass concerning the dinner we had planned in the evening.I felt even extra guilty about it and promised to make it up to her and Niguez after.If I wasn't so exhausted after whatever the company party over someone's promotion or another was, then I could even come later on to see the kid Niguez and tuck him in.Maybe even buy him a toy as a peace offering if I had to. Actually, maybe I would go with that.As for Alina, we could have some exquisite dinner or something tomorrow. I would choose the beach if it were up to me. And who knew, I could make the scene all romantic and touching, so maybe if I asked her to be my girlfriend, she would not have much thinking to do about it and just say yes.I mean, it was necessary to always think positive, right?So yes, that may or may no

ALINA'S POVSome days passed, and in the twinkle of an eye, I was standing in front of a huge building on an early Monday morning."This is it," I thought, forcing out a smile that I plastered on my face, and made sure I kept it there all the way through the huge metal gates, even as I walked up to the front door, secretary, and gained access into the main building where all the magic happened.Apparently, everything was already set and in order before my arrival. My only guess was that somehow, our company had spies in their ranks too, making the way crystal clear for me, thus giving me access to the building.Come to think of it, that was only natural. But what I didn't understand was why those so-called spies couldn't do the job themselves. What did they need someone else for since they already had access to pretty much everywhere and could manipulate things in their favor too?“So why did they need someone else, that just so happened to be me?” I muttered, clicking my tongue in di

ALINA'S POV This was my chance.By some miracle, Gomes had agreed to showing me around his company. I didn't know why, but one thing was sure: I was going to utilize it to the fullest advantage.Most likely, he must have thought that since I was the one trying to get a partnership with his labs, then I would make sure I was on my best behavior and not do anything funny.But as it so happened, we didn't want a partnership in the first place, and this was just more of a cover-up so that I could utilize any chance I got to, in fact, do something funny and gather all the information I needed as soon as possible.So when he actually agreed to it, I felt more relieved.But of course, I wasn't foolish enough to believe that my mission here was almost complete. If there was really some dirt on him, then he would not show me that or give me any reason to think that.Instead, I would be shown only the basic, uninteresting parts. So in truth, he had nothing to lose either way.That didn't mean

TRENT'S POVIt was an approximately fifteen minutes drive and we saw ourselves in front of a huge hotel. Of course she chose the best in the whole of Washington. I made a mental note to let Clarence drive on our way back. I wasn't the freaking chaffeur so driving him don't fit well with my job description of “the boss”Guess I was just a bit scared that he would take the liberty to crash my brand new telsa car.What... Why should I trust him?He trailer after him in a highly recommend silence as we made our way towards the front desk. The receptionist was a man...I have to give him that. “how may I help you?” The man asked looking up at the both of us with a without a smile. Good, he didn't even fake it. I was starting to like the guy. “We have reservations,” I said, flashing gik my Identity card as well as a picture of the reservations. His eyes widened in recognition. “CEO Clinton,” He said, bowing slightly. Funny , I thought everyone here were all Americans.“Shh,” I said

TRENT POV“Oh you're such a bore,” Evelyn sighed, a sore look clouding her initial smiles..“I didn't want to do it the hard way. Can't you be sensible gir once Trent?!” she said, glaring all the more at me.I met her galrr with a faint smile. “I'm going to assume that you have a point sister,”“Trent!” my mother shouted from the sidelines. I closed my eyes and tried to let it fall inti the background.I really wasn't ready yet for the takeoff with my own family .Maybe it was because there was still a sixteen years old me somewheres that still thought I could gian their approval of I do things their way, jut another day and they would see me and my worth, and how I was as good a Clinton as any other one of them.I should have known better though, they would never change.Not when when I pretend to hate them to the core, while silently wishing an hoping in my mind that they would finally see how they treated me, egj if it meant that I had to be a fucking mirror and they got back wha
