Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta

Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta

***** "As long as you can make him pay." I bravely said between my cries. A playful grin appeared on his lips, amused by my pain. He was the devil, but I didn't care. It was a risk I was ready to take. "Anything, including giving yourself to the devil." He chirped That should have been a warning telling me to turn back, but instead, I nodded at him. "Only a devil can handle another devil." His grin grew wider, a laugh escaping his lips. Those evil lips parted, and each word left me more dumbfounded: "For starters, strip right here and now." My mouth fell agape taken back by his request. It was beyond my expectations; I was still lost in a dilemma when the devil spoke again. "I don't have all day, Mrs Romanov." He urged me. ****** A lady's best day was meant to be her wedding day, but that was not the case for Adelina, a Mafia princess.

Chapter: 90 - A call from her husband
ADELINA'S POV The cells slammed shut, the keys jingling as Officer Damien locked them. "Try and get comfortable." He sneered. His footsteps faded as he left. It was official that he didn't like me. My existence probably disgusts him, a fallen Mafia heiress. The daughter of killers. "I wasn't expecting to get a pretty face here." An annoying voice chirped, drawing my attention. Great, I had cellmates in this cramped place. There were two, a huge girl who looked like a transgender or crossdresser or probably something. Well, she was a biological female since the country only recognises biological sex. The other looked like someone who robs local stores for fun. They looked nothing short of dangerous criminals, and a girl like me looked like an easy prey. The huge one approached me, trying to grab my hand, but I evaded her. My eyes went icy cold. They would have to try better to scare me, I grew up among people who would not blink to end someone's life if needed

Chapter: 89 - Who to call
ADELINA'S POV Kimberly could not possibly be working with Viktor. Is it highly unlikely or was Flynn up to something? Had he always had these pictures but never used them until now? Marino Omerta was dead and there was no one to save the standing heiress. "What do you have to say now?" He asked me with a greasy smile, thinking he had me in a corner. It wasn't a lie because, in the right hands, it was enough to corner me, but it wasn't completely hopeless. There were times when I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Moments with my father were like being at a port when an illegal shipment arrived or at a desolate warehouse where a crime was committed. There were times Father was showing me snippets of our world. His words were, "This isn't a place for a sweet girl like you." Things that could incriminate me as an accessory or accomplice to the crime even when I didn't partake in it. "I have nothing to say until I have a lawyer." My resolve was

Chapter: 88- Arrested
ADELINA'S POV The entire ride to the police station they didn't say a thing about why I was being arrested. My things were confiscated making it impossible to contact anyone.At least I would have loved to inform Petra about the development of things. There wasn't much she could do as an outsider and foreigner but she was the only one I could rely on.I kept on wondering if this was Kimberly's doing because it was very possible since her father was the Senate president who was like a prime minister.If Kimberly wanted to lock me up for good, she could do so due to my lack of protection from my family. I might not have been proud of the darkness or blood that covered the Marino family name and legacy, but it was what protected me.The car stopped, and the first thing I noticed was the West Lake police station. I hope I didn't forget it later. "It's time to get out." One of the officers said before opening the door and dragging me out."What am I being arrested for?""You will find out

Chapter: 87 - Warning
ADELINA'S POV I stood by the window watching Asher. He eventually left a few minutes later when Petra got home, and they spoke for a while. The door clicked open as she stepped in. Her eyes fell on me, who had been watching all along. "Did something happen between you and Asher?" She asked. I saw no need to hide things from Petra, so I gave her a summarised version. "Kimberly is blackmailing me. I should keep my distance." I stated then marched up the stairs. ***** My mind was spacey and I could not concentrate much on the class. Mr Simon was next to the board giving his lecture when my phone vibrated with a WhatsApp text notification. It was Petra who was seated next to me. She had a goofy smile on her face. My eyes narrowed at her as I picked up my phone to check the text. Petra: Have you heard what happened to Thomas? I was confused, Thomas was the scumbag that harassed me the night I was drunk. Adel: Haven't heard a thing. After the mes

Chapter: 86 - Same look
ADELINA'S POV The night was calm, and the sounds of moving cars from a distance echoed. I took a bite of the shawarma, the flavours instantly melting in my mouth. Mikhail was still beside me smoking, I hated the smell of cigarettes, but dared not complain, knowing he wouldn't stop. I tried to enjoy the shawarma regardless. It was pretty nice when hit by that cool coke that slid down my throat. It was wonderful. It felt like the best shawarma I had gotten in a long while. "Do you like looking at stars?" I asked him, it was a silly question to ask your boss, but Mikhail wasn't acting like my boss. He was always nonchalant and never really gave a fuck. His eyes were on the night sky, which had a lot of twinkling stars. He took a puff, the smoke danced around his face and then disappeared. I wonder between the stars and their mysterious appeal, which was more eye-catching. How could a man look this good? Thanks to his looks he had a horrible attitude. My

Chapter: 85- Most annoying person I know
ADELINA'S POV. The air felt heavy in my lungs; my eyes could not avert from those blue orbs that had me spellbound. His gaze was clear like pearls, and the clicking sounds of the seat belt echoed as it was clicked open. "What are you doing, Mikhail?" I asked, and my voice came out shaky. He didn't answer me, but his gaze didn't flatter either. My breath hitched when his hand touched my skin, the sparks spreading like a wild virus that weakened my legs. Both of his hands slipped under my skirts, and he didn't do anything, but the feeling of his hands on my bare skin was driving me insane. I bit my lips scared a moan would escape my lips. I could not succumb to his touch or let myself melt so easily. His hands grabbed my waist, and the next thing I knew, I was seated on his lap. His face was so close, so tempting. My heart went out of control without an invitation and my cheeks were the brightest red ever. He smirked at me, that evil smile had me completely u

Escaping my heartless billionaire husband

Escaping my heartless billionaire husband

** "Why did your feelings suddenly change?" Xander asked me looking completely lost. There was no way I could say it was because if I stayed with him, I might die.

Chapter: TRAPPED WITH THE RUTHLESS ALPHA
CHAPTER FOUR - THE ROMANOV BROTHERSADELINA'S POV I was completely blown out of my mind when I heard him. Mikhail Romanov was a mystery to me. A seasoned businessman who suddenly popped out of nowhere and stormed the entire business world. There was very little about him online but there were rumours of how ruthless he was when taking out his competition and how much underground connection he has. When I said I was ready to do anything in my mind, the most degrading thing that crossed my mind was to be his servant at his mercy, but it never crossed my mind he would tell me to strip in a public event. I bit my lower lip in between my teeth, not only because of how nervous I felt in his presence but also thanks to the Bullet wound in my arm. "You must be joking, that can't be a request." I blurted. Thinking he would laugh out, saying it was a joke, but he didn't budge one bit. He stood tall with his hand in his pocket and his eyes keenly observing me. His lips p

Chapter: TRAPPED WITH THE RUTHLESS ALPHA
CHAPTER THREE - TYRANT OF THE BUSINESS WORLD MIKHAIL'S POV I hated crowded places, especially ones filled with humans, but this was what I could not escape if I wanted to make sure I stood at the Pinnacle of the business world. Twirling the wine glass in between my fingers, my eyes glanced around the hall, looking for anything that could pique my interest. "What do you think about the corporation? Mr Romanov." An annoying voice chattered in my ears. I glanced at the middle-aged man who had been trying his best to strike a deal with me, but it was not a profitable venture. "I will think about it." I politely declined, even though we both knew I was not going to give him a second thought. How boring? A sigh left my lips for the hundredth time today. I was bored out of my mind. Maybe I should have attended the wedding even though my beloved brother didn't invite me. It would be fun to see the unfortunate human he tricked into marrying him. The unfortunate soul I would have t

Chapter: TRAPPED WITH THE RUTHLESS ALPHA
CHAPTER TWO - THE BLOODY BRIDE ADELINA'S POV The best day of my life slowly turned into a scene from a nightmare I could not wake up from. Sitting in a white pool lace of my long princess wedding dress, my face was pale, and I froze. "Papa," I said again but it came out like a whimper this time around. The flower bouquet in my hand was on the floor. I grabbed my face with both hands, shaking my head over and over again, thinking it was a nightmare, but it was real. All that was on my mind was to reach my father's side, but Viktor had other plans. He firmly held my arm. "Where are you going, Mrs Romanov ?" He asked me. I did not care about that title. All I wanted was to run to my father's side. Why did Viktor shoot Dad? We were his allies. No matter how I think of it, my head could not think of a reason why. "This is a wedding present from me to you." He grinned at me. Everyone was in shock because of the sudden gunfire. Soon, it sank into my father's men's heads that thei

Chapter: TRAPPED WITH THE RUTHLESS ALPHA
COMING SOON CHAPTER ONE - A BLOODY WEDDING ADELINA'S POV The happiest day of a woman's life was meant to be the day she gets married to the love of her life and I thought it was true. I had never felt this genuinely happy in my life before, despite all the resistance of us being from rival mobs. Finally, I was getting married to Viktor, the Mafia boss of a rival Russian mob today. Although my marriage was not purely based on love, the main goal was to join two of the biggest Mafia underground associations. My fiance, Viktor, owned one of the richest and most dangerous Russian mobs; my father agreed to this marriage to seek his protection as our group, despite its large size, is nothing compared to Viktor's association. The soft organ melody echoed through the large sculptured walls of the old cathedral to the outside, it was loud enough to reach the environs. Stepping down from the car I made my way towards the large doors of the ancient cathedral. The doors swung open

Chapter: 274 - Forever be his little red/ the end
(Xander's pov) The soft sound of running water echoed from the bathroom; I pushed the door open entering the bathroom filled with steam with a thick scent of Lavender oils. It smelled like heaven, my little heaven. I got rid of the towel wrapped around my waist and then brushed my hand through my hair before my eyes drew to the glass walls of the shower. A silly grin graced my lips as I made my way towards the shower, where I could see Karis's figure from the glass taking a shower. I couldn't help but smile wider; I slowly walked towards the shower, the only place where I was sure the children wouldn't disturb us because Xavier sometimes cries to sleep with his mother. My life was pitiful, fighting with my children over my wife's time and attention; maybe we should have stopped with the twins. I stopped in the shower; Karis's back relaxed, sensing my presence. "I thought you weren't coming," she said, rubbing her hair with her back against me. "So you were expecting me." I c

Chapter: 273 - Forgiven myself
(Xander's pov) SIX YEARS LATER The cool spring breeze blew, carrying a little scent on wet soil. It was another spring again and 15 years after Alessia left this world. I placed a bouquet of flowers on her tombstone, along with several others, which have been kept here. A lot has happened these past years, and I have been so busy I barely had time to visit Alessia aside from her death anniversary. Karis and I are hosting a small get-together to celebrate. Mum and Dad loved the idea of getting old friends and family together. "Alessia, it's been a while, and we all miss you, but you are in a better place now..." I started my one-sided dialogue with my sister. I had a feeling she was listening. Honestly, everyone was fine these past years, at least from what they told me. Skyler was getting better. At least he wasn't hallucinating again, but his condition was permanent. Either way, he was doomed; he deserved it. It was crazy, but I think I am ready to forgive
