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.

Chapter: 164 - A losing gameADELINA'S POV Ivan Orlov, one of the most unpredictable people in the world as my father described him. Dad avoided dealing with the Orlov family and, most of the time, completely withdrew once he heard Ivan was involved. "Do you know how that game ended?" He asked me with a smirk playing on his lips. My eyes glanced over to Mikhail for a short moment, trying to see if he had any idea. Even if Mikhail did he would never tell me. I turned back to focus on the game. Ivan gave me a look, it wasn't threatening, just amused. "Will you tell me if I ask?" I threw the question back to him. "You will find out soon." Ever so unpredictable. I was scared, nothing could shake me. My cards were perfect. I already had the game in the bag from the moment I saw those queens. Ivan was watching my every mood, he was trying to read me from the slightest give out, curious what I’d do. I placed my bracelet into the pot and nodded once. “Let’s see it then,” he said. "Of course, it was a fun game

Chapter: 163 - Poker Queen ADELINA'S POV The air felt tense, the tension was crawling over my skin but I could handle it. "Now that everything is done, can we have a lady share the cards?" Benji requested, and Karis agreed to do so. "I can do that." She chimed in accepting the deck of cards. Her hands were swift as she shuffled the cards under everyone's eyes. The maid moved away, sharing some drinks and finger snacks, just to get everyone into the mood, just before the game. Then she started sharing the cards among the players, Benji, Ivan, Mikhail, Casper, Xander, Lucien and me the only girl brave enough to go against the men although from the rules the other Ladies technically had already lost but I was sure whoever was going to win won't give them any crazy dare or truth. Karis dealt the cards with that calm, graceful flick of her wrist, her polished fingers moving like she’d done it a hundred times. Her eyes were teasing, mocking everyone at the table. "I hope you guys are lucky. My

Chapter: 162 - Game of poker ADELINA'S POV I knew the game was going to be twisted but stripping that was beyond me. There were some gasps, especially from the other ladies. They probably didn't expect this twist. Karis's glare said everything. I think she was more upset than Mikhail "Unfortunately I am not good at poker." She said, "That's fine. Xander is an excellent player. If you are uncomfortable with it, you can let this pass, but you are free to observe ." Benji, who turned to the mediator's explanation, kind of made everyone relax a bit. Though I know most of them want to play. "What are the rules?" Mikhail asked, I was expecting him to still oppose the idea because every part of his body said he hated this game. Benji smiled. "I am glad you are coming around the rules are simple. It will be a regular poker game, but instead of chips, we are going to bargain with clothing items from watches down to undies, depending on how crazy you are." He teased, Karis's face twisted hearing his explanation.

Chapter: 161 - Play a game ADELINA'S POV "Wait, Mikhail, you finally have a serious girlfriend." The statement made my stomach churn. The word ' serious girlfriend' explained a lot of things about Mikhail. Did they know he had a fiancée? I glanced around the room, noticing the person who spoke; he was also a looker with caramel brown hair and hazel eyes that glimmered with mischief. Beside him was a lady, she held a sophisticated presence around her and was the second person I had met with striking emerald green eyes like mine. "You are always the loudest in the room, Lucien." Mikhail sneered. "I prefer to be called Killian in public." Lucien chimed in. The room was warm and quiet, lit by the soft glow of the fireplace and a few low lamps. It wasn’t decorated at all, but it didn’t need to be. The light walls, rich leather chairs, and soft rug underfoot gave the space a private, comfortable feel. The kind of place where only a few were allowed in.There were already four inside, all w

Chapter: 160 - Birthday celebration ADELINA'S POV Mikhail didn't say anything and continued driving. His eyes were fixed on the road, and soon we were out of the urban area and entered the suburban area. The car was silent except for the low hum of the engine and the occasional sound of tires rolling over rough patches of road. I sat in the passenger seat, hands folded tightly in my lap, sneaking glances at Mikhail every few seconds. He said it was his birthday, and I had already given him a gift. I wondered what he was talking about.He hadn’t said a word since we got in. His jaw was locked, eyes fixed on the road ahead, and his grip on the steering wheel was tight, too tight. His knuckles were white, and there was something cold about the way his face stayed so still. Not angry. Just... unreadable. And that scared me more.I knew he wouldn’t hurt me. Somewhere deep in my chest, I was sure of that. But whatever switch had flipped inside him back at the bus stop, it was still on. I couldn’t unsee it. I

Chapter: 159 - Same madness ADELINA'S POV The men completely ignored me and charged towards Mikhail. I watched the fight unfold in front of me in disbelief.. How could he move that fast? It even looked like Mikhail was holding back. The remaining 5 were skilled fighters without a doubt, and still, against Mikhail, it looked like children were fighting an adult. He effortlessly evaded their attack and took them down one after the other. It wasn't a fight but a one-sided assault.Their screams tore through the night, mixed with tears, as bones snapped. He was brutal, even too brutal for me, who had seen people being killed in front of me. Was he like this because of his status? Lunaria was indeed a strange country. "Please stop, we can't take it anymore." The only one who had the strength to beg cried out but Mikhail was not done. His eye was still as cold as it was from the start.. "You know I can kill every one of you and get away with it. That is pretty tempting." He drawled. It didn't

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. His cold eyes were piercing through me but it didn't make me fret.
I averted my eyes knowing my next reply was a big lie. "I love someone else now, and I can't stand you anymore. Since we would be together for two months, our parents' promise will be honoured." Then he froze unable to believe my words.

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
