Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alina’s Redemption : Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

ALINA'S POV I might have been a bit biased in my evaluation of the CEO of Star Frost labs. But then again, considering that it was none other than Gomes Allen, the devil in the making, then I would not even bat an eyelid if I later find out that he was way worse himself .I read through the report I filed out in my tab a couple more times, then after concluding that no other personal secretary could have done a batter job, I saver it and sent it in an email to my Boss, Clarence. After clicking on the send botton, I leaned back on the seat and heaved a sigh of relief.Well, at least now that part of the day was over. I glanced back. The labs were already far away as I had ridden far away from it. However I had a nasty feeling that settled down in my gut. There was a nagging feeling at the back of my mind that said that I just succeeded in reopening that inexperienced university student chapter of my life all over again.“I sure do a stellar job when it came to overthinking,” I mutte

GOMES POV—15 minutes ago—“Mr. Allen,”Priscilla entered the office for the second time, a tablet clutched under one hand and the other folded behind her back.I looked up lazily.This would only mean that she had gathered the information I had told her to find. We had an unspoken rule to not come back unless she had whatever I was looking for.Which in this case, was all the intel I could get on one, Stacy Miller.Since undoubtedly that was the case, I waved her towards the seat that was opposite from me.“It better make sense,” I muttered under my breath.The truth of the matter was, here in the labs might be constantly interesting, as the young scientists that were under me had their minds filled with possibilities of what can and could have been. And I was here to give them the man power to turn those possibilities into the next realities.As interesting and fulfilling as that was, my personal life remained one word short of boring.But this one, Stacy Miller, she was the key to

TRENT'S POV “Hey, come here, tiger,” I bounced on the sofa and patted the space next to me. Alina might have managed to distract me for a fraction of a second in that well-played move of hers, but if she thought that a kiss on the cheek was enough to keep me off her case, then she needed to try harder. Maybe if she captured my lips in hers, then that would keep me from asking any more God damned questions... Just saying, of course. I swatted away the imaginations. I would have better luck trying to get Niguez to tell me what he knew anyway.Niguez grudgingly left his tablet and walked over to meet me. “Sup men?” he demanded as he jumped on the sofa. “Men?” I muttered, the corner of my eyes twitching. What was it with this kid and how he was growing so fast? It was getting alarming, even for me. I was pretty sure that I didn't teach him that one. He grinned up at me, showing off his front teeth. “Yeah, that's what men call themselves, uncle Trent.” he said puffing up his tiny ch

ALINA POV—Why did I have a guy feeling that Trent was behind the sudden day off?“How did you know?” I asked Trent as I got into his car. He shrugged giving me one of his all knowing smiles. “Come on, tell me.” I urged him. The mystery was killing me. For all I knew, he was just a random worker in the tech company and there was no way that the manager would tell him that he was giving me the day off. Unless it was some general treatment but that would mean that everyone got the day off and that didn't even make any sense. It wasn't even worker's day. “I just know Alina,” he said, leaning in as he clicked the seatbelt, trapping me in place. I pouted folding my hands. “Don't give me that. You said we wouldn't jeep things from ourselves anymore,”He went to the other side of the car and slipped unti the driver's seat with a sigh. “I choose to be positive Alina, you should try it too. If you're lucky magic might happen. ”“Besides, a magician never tells his secrets. ” he added wi

ALINA POVOnly then did I truly realize how little I knew about Trent. And I was determined to change that fact. I noticed the way he always behaved, choosing to be a gentleman all the time, choosing to be there for me instead of telling me what was bothering him, choosing to hear and listen instead of speaking himself. So much so that I began to see him as some sort of perfect human without any problems whatsoever. But that was so wrong, wasn't it? He was human, just like every other person, and he had problems too - inner demons that he kept caged.He didn't usually give me this opportunity to see him so raw, so I was going to make the most of it. My mind warned me that I should respect his boundaries and not push him too far. He said he didn't want to talk about his sister, but I didn't even know her name yet. How could I just give up like that?"Come on," I muttered, probing him gently. "You said you were going to answer my question, didn't you? Are you backing out now?"He bi
