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."

Chapter: 20 - What it takes
ADELINA'S POV Since the funeral, the CCTV hasn't caught sight of the car that is always watching from the dark. It gave a faint sense of security. For the past few days, I have been trying to gather as much information as I could about the family business. This could not be the end of the Marino family. There were records of the Marino business partners both underground and our cover business. On the surface, unbeknownst to the public, my family ran a fashion house; we focused on Italian leather and tailor suits. It wasn't a major success, but it was a perfect cover-up for our actual source of income. To spend the dirt money there has to be a hoax company. It was shocking it got revealed that we were tied to the mob, a part of me knows Viktor had a hand in it. Thinking of that jerk I haven't seen him recently. My family's reputation was in shambles after the leak of information. Although the store was trying its best to keep everything together by denying it,

Chapter: 19 - A brotherly visit
MIKHAIL'S POV Adel never fails to amaze me. She was still keeping up the brave daring front. I never imagined she would be brave enough to kiss me. It was something but that's all. As soon as she fled for her life my smile fell. She was right to run because a second longer it would have turned from teasing games to something else, a line I dared not to cross. I was right for keeping her away because I didn't know how long I could keep my wolf in check. His carnal desires that he wanted us to fulfil badly, but unfortunately, that would never happen. Casper had a knowing smile on his lips, seeing how the scared kitten ran off, leaving the doors open. Thanks to him, the car has her soft, intoxicating scent all over. "Did something happen?" He asked, acting oblivious. I clicked my tongue at him, "Close the door." I instructed and he was nice enough to do so before he got into the driver's seat and started the engine. "Make sure to get the car cleaned before t

Chapter: 18 - Played his game
ADELINA'S POV As a child, my mum always called me the daredevil because I had a strong tendency to do crazy shit just to prove people wrong. I always knew my impulse was a bad characteristic but it was annoying how he belittled me. It felt like, in his eyes, I was a scared little girl. I shouldn't be doing this like hell. Why did I decide to kiss a man who could be described as my brother-in-law? Maybe arguing with Viktor made me lose some brain cells because I shouldn't be doing this after my family's funeral. His brother killed them. I just wanted to tease him because of how annoying and arrogant he seemed. Sparks ignited when our lips touched; I felt him freeze for a second. It was meant to be a short kiss just to tease him as a way of my foolish payback, but why were the sparks addictive pulling me? I wanted to drown myself but my mind kept on telling me no. Luckily I was able to overcome the temptation and listen to my mind. A smile crossed my lips as I

Chapter: 17 - Daring Kitten
MIKHAIL'S POV It wasn't evening yet but the weather was already dark and heavy. The rain kept on pouring heavily, I didn't want to be here. The plan was to stay as far as possible but yet I found myself being exactly where I told myself never to be: close to her. There wasn't a need to attend directly. After all, I had no ties with the Marino family. Casper found a good spot to park, which I stayed at just watching while taking a smoke. The funeral was over and almost all the guests were gone. It was about time I left. "Let's leave," I instructed Casper as I threw the cigarette through the window into the rain. He did not give a verbal reply and started the car. I closed my eyes about resting my head against the headrest when I heard her voice. She seems to be in a fight. My eyes shot subconsciously with my gaze finding her through the window and there she was in a little fight with Viktor, her husband. I found out, she recently filed for divorce, but strangely,

Chapter: 16 - He is here
ADELINA'S POV The cloud rumbled and started to pour wetting the soil. The air smelled like mud, and the pit-pat sounds of the rain echoed. I didn't know what came over me to stand in between Viktor and Vivianna; if I hadn't, blood might have poured today. I was tired of the bloodshed. "Please let's stop. We can just talk like adults." I repeated, my eyes pleading with Vivianna to let go. She sighed, then resigned to my pleading. "Fine, just a simple conversation." She replied. I smiled, grateful she was standing down. Someone grabbed my hand, making me snap my head in Viktor's direction. If looks could kill he would be dead now. "Let go of my hand," I barked at him, trying to pull my arm from his grasp, but his hold only tightened. Vivianna tried to intervene, but before she moved, she was already surrounded by Viktor's men, who dragged her away. "Let go of me you bastards," she barked as she was being pulled away. I tried to fight Viktor, trying to snatch my hand but I

Chapter: 15 - The Funeral
ADELINA'S POV Days passed and I didn't step out of the mansion. I stayed indoors, grieving and ordering takeout with my pocket money. I was scared of stepping out because of the car; from the street cameras, they were still there watching. My guts told me it was Viktor. That aside, after emailing the divorce documents to Viktor, there hasn't been any news from him. I don't know how long I will be able to live alone in this Mansion under these conditions; it was too suffocating. Today, the mansion was lively, and the car finally left. I had guests today. Honestly, it was surprising that many people showed up for the funeral. I Only hoped nothing out of the ordinary happened and I could put my family to rest. My parents and brother were to be buried at the family cemetery within our properties not too far from the mansion. Some of our old business partners and well-wishers showed up. "Lina the priest is here," I heard a soft feminine voice call me. My atten

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
