Chapter fifty five: The Prince visit Meanwhile, Alissa and Rophine were having a private meeting of their own when Asher joined them. "Am I late?" he asked, a teasing smile playing on his lips. "No. We just started," Alissa replied with a smile. "Is this meeting about the prince's arrival?" "What prince?" Rophine asked, looking between them. "Prince George of Patria, in the East. He has some business to attend to with the president and is looking for a hotel to stay in." "Why doesn't he stay at the hotel he stayed at last time?" Rophine asked. It was common for influential people to remain loyal to a
Chapter Fifty-Seven: Final List "Achoo!" Alissa let out a sharp sneeze in the back of the Bentley. She quickly covered her nose with the tissue in her hand, blinking several times as she recovered from the sudden irritation. "Are you okay, ma'am?" Ruffina, her assistant, asked from the seat beside her. She immediately reached into her handbag and handed Alissa another tissue. "Did you catch a cold?" "No." Alissa dabbed at her nose and shook her head. "I feel perfectly fine." Ruffina studied her suspiciously. "Then why did you sneeze?" Alissa shrugge
Chapter fifty four : My image Every social media platform was buzzing about the scene at the auction. The incident had garnered hundreds of millions of views across the Internet. @loveisstupid: Ever since this girl became COO, I'm less interested in the hotel and more interested in her stunt. @dumbblomde: It's always something with these two. How did they even share the same roof? @maddog: This is assault. Why is no one arresting this bxtch? @Sajaboys: My goodness, this is insane. Someone remind me why she is running a hotel again? Cindy spent the entire morning trying to diffuse the uproar spreading across the Internet, replying to comments and attempting to defend herself. But instead of dying down, the controversy only seemed to get worse. Suddenly, the door flew open, startling her. She jumped to her feet and spun around. "Why are you here?" Shane stepped into the room, his expression hard. He closed the door behind him and stared at her.
Cindy's screams gradually faded as the security doors slammed shut behind her. Inside the hall, an uncomfortable silence settled over the guests. Everyone stared at the doors. Then the whispers began again. Shane remained rooted to the spot, his face pale with embarrassment. He slowly ran a hand over his face. “This is a nightmare,” he muttered. Alissa dabbed at the scratch on her cheek with a handkerchief Asher had given her. “You should probably go after her,” Asher said. Shane looked at him. “For what?” “To stop her from doing something worse.” Shane gave a humorless laugh. “I'm beginning to think there is no stopping Cindy.” Alissa glanced toward the doors. For the briefest moment, guilt flashed across her face. Then it disappeared. “She'll be fine.” Shane's eyes narrowed. “You don't sound very concerned.” “Should I be?” Alissa asked, raising an eyebrow. “She attacked me.” Shane fell silent. Alissa turned
Chapter fifty two “Thirty million dollars!” Cindy raised her paddle, a satisfied smirk tugging at her lips. She deliberately shifted her gaze toward Alissa, silently daring her to counter the bid. “Cindy.” Shane tugged lightly at her dress, trying to get her attention. His eyes widened as he glanced toward the auctioneer. “Don’t you think this is too much for that item?” “We need this investor,” Cindy whispered, keeping her voice low enough that only Shane could hear. Her eyes remained fixed on Alissa. “I can’t let Alissa win over me again.” Shane frowned, his expression growing more incredulous by the second. “Is this still about getting the investor, or winning against Alissa?” “Both can coexist, Shane,” she replied with a weary sigh, as though his question were ridiculous. “Thirty million once,” the auctioneer announced, his voice echoing through the hall. The Japanese investor glanced at Alissa, and Shane did the same. Everyone seemed to be waiting
Chapter Fifty-One Meanwhile, in a darker corner of the club, Edward watched Cindy intently. Beside him sat Spencer, who glanced at the untouched drink in Edward's hand. “I know I forced you to come here,” Spencer said irritably, “but why aren't you drinking?” Edward didn't even look at him. “I don't drink. Remember?” “Then why did you agree to meet me at a club?” Spencer threw his hands up in exasperation. “You act like a saint. You don't sleep around, you don't drink, you don't smoke…” He shook his head in disbelief. “Are you even human?” The corner of Edward's lips curved slightly. “I have no interest in things that kill me slowly.” He lifted his bottled water and took a sip. “I actually like my life.” His eyes drifted back toward Cindy. She was wearing a backless black dress that ended just above her thighs. Her lips were painted a deep blood-red, and her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders. Under the dim lights
Chapter 3: You're a Free Woman Now "Fine, Alissa, hand me a pen," Shane agreed, huffing with anger. A pen. At this moment, Alicia froze - she had forgotten to get a pen from home. Still, she decided to search her purse but could not find one. Shrugging, she told him in a nonchal
Chapter 2: You can have him For the umpteenth time, Alissa reread his messages. She had tried to contact him to no avail. Nothing made sense. Cindy Reynolds, her sister, was awake now. Alissa felt tears of happiness fill her eyes; she had been praying non-stop for Cindy to wake up. With
Chapter forty-three : Are you responsible for the accident that took place five years ago? “To who?” “I don’t see how that is any of your business, Shane,” Alissa clapped back, a little taken aback by his audacity. He was going to marry Cindy, yet here he was questioning who she wanted
Chapter 1: Cindy is awake "Shane, ahhh" Alissa felt her entire body grow hotter with each touch around her curves. His lips melted into hers in an all-consuming kiss that made her toes curl. They both fell onto the king-size bed, pulling at each other's clothes in a frenzy, desperate to r
