Chapter 36Stefan’s POVI sat in my chair, legs wide apart, arms resting on both sides. My head throbbed loudly like someone and painstakingly went through the stress of pounding my head continuously with metal. I rubbed my forehead as if doing that alone will make the pains disappear from wherever it came out from. The door swung open fast and I nearly cursed the intruder but it turned out to be Ace…my right hand man. His steps were rather quick for someone who takes time walking like he owns the world and his face was tight for someone who smiles a lot, and always giving off the impression he wasn't connected with the Mafia.He stood in front of me and nodded once. “It’s done.”I blinked hard for a while trying to understand what it was. I had not given Ace any work to do. I didn't even bother to tell instead I raised an eyebrow at him. He smiled knowingly.He continued, “I saw Grayson gathering the boys and questioned him. He told me you ordered him to do it. I joined in to make s
Chapter 35Marek’s POVBefore I could say a word to Elena — to ask her what she meant by ‘fighting my brother ‘ — Kaine ordered his guards to throw me out of the building.I turned to the guards who began approaching me sharply. “Just know your faces have been marked, if anyone of you dare lay your hands on me, even your boss won't be available to save you from the torture I'd melt out to you.” I threatened, my eyes blazing with fury.How dare Kaine? And how dare they act according to the boss's order? To throw me — Marek Blackwood; the most feared and dangerous Mafia in this city — out of his blasted company. The guards paused on their steps and glanced between me and Kaine.Kaine sneered behind me and I turned to watch him nursing the beautiful wound I had given him on his head. “Then, get the hell out of my company." He yelled pointing his fingers to the doorI flashed him a smile. “Gladly. But never in your life order your stupid guards to lay their hands on me, or else be ready t
Chapter 34Elena's POV I stood still in the middle of the room watching everything unfold in front of me. Everything around me felt heavy. Stefan’s eyes burned into mine as his words kept on washing over me to follow him out of the room, but I wouldn't do any of that.I knew that look on his face. He was angry and he wanted to fight.He wanted to destroy Kaine.I didn’t move or even say anything to that. If they wanted to fight, then let them be my guest and get on with it. I'd rate the winner at the end of the fight.The guards behind me were just waiting for Marek to make a move, but I knew the stance he was in, and the inch, that he was going to get to Kaine first before the guards got him. And if he does, the guards would be powerless and won't be able to act anything and their priority now would be to save their boss first.I had no idea Marek was going to be here, I'd have been careful and not come in the first place.Kaine stood close beside me. He looked proud at the hurt fla
Chapter 33Stefan POV I had thought the woman I had seen entering into the company earlier won't turn out to be Elena, even though I wanted to believe it…that everything was similar to it Elena but my subconscious mind which has tricked me into thinking I might be mistaken and judging without knowing who it was. And then I had gotten my hope high and prayed to the goddess to make sure it turned out it wasn't Elena.I whisper again, blinking repeatedly, scratching my eyes with my fingers to make sure I was seeing right. “Elena?”She jerks now, having fully heard her name from my lips again. Her hand lifts to hide her face in shame, but it was too late. I had seen her right from outside the company, and even when I stepped into the office, I had seen her properly and knew she was the one.I see the curve of her cheek, whichever was buried in Kaine rocky palms…I know that cheek…I know every line of it because I had traced it during our private moments. Likewise, I remembered telling her
Chapter 32Marek POVI was going to jump out of the car and go after the woman to be certain I wasn't hallucinating when I remembered I was still parking at the side of the road, and according to the company signboard, I needed to pull into the parking lot.My mind was not calm. I couldn't think straight. I was seeing the face of a woman in another woman, I was seeing the height of Elena, the way she walks and carry herself, the body posture and heading into the company of my rival. I pulled out of the road so fast.“No,” I mumbled to myself. “It’s not possible. It can’t be her. Elena is either in the pack waiting for me to arrive or with her mother as usual. She can't be in the human world and not even here, of all places.”But the way she walked… the way her hair moved… something inside me told me she was the one, and I was going to get my heart broken. I knew Elena was always visiting the human world, but it was to greet and hang out with her friend's. Has she been cheating on me al
Chapter 31Stefan’s POVI sat behind my desk, staring at the screen blankly. My eyes refused to blink. My hand held the phone so tight I thought I’d crush it.“What did you just say?” I asked again, my jaw clenched, as I shot the phone a desperate look even though I knew the receiver on the end couldn't and wouldn't be able to see me.“Sir," The man's voice was sharp with frustration. "The contract with PrimeTech… it’s gone. The business deal was snatched up by your rival. Kaine."My hands gripped my chest in horror as I took in the words thoughtfully. The company was of equal value to me, and now Kaine had taken it away from me.My breath came in hard waves, hard and heavy. My features were contorted in rage and horror. How was this possible? How did it happen right under my nose without anyone informing me so
