Ryan's POV
I stepped into the club and walked over to Roman, who waved at me from afar. He was seated at the front bar. My eyes darted everywhere to detect the mask lady, Lia.
"Hey," Roman said and gave me a pat on the back. "It's been a while since you set your foot here, Don't you think?"
"Yeah," I replied absentmindedly, still trying to figure out where Lia was.
"Still in search of the masked queen?" Roman chuckled. "She's over there."
My head tilted in the direction he pointed at and she was indeed seated right there. It was a private area, so little wonder why I didn't notice her immediately I entered.
She has to be some powerful lady for her to always make use of the VIP section..
"We'd make a wonderful combination." I smiled at the thought of that, but the smile got wiped off when I

Samantha's POVIt's been two days after Christmas. Adrian managed to cheer me up with a lot of things and I was able to break free from the chains of my thoughts but something else kept bothering me. It was nothing else but the fact that Ryan booked a flight and made reservations for two. Who was his company? Was it the lady he was with at the restaurant? I wondered why I ached to know and I guessed the reason wasn't far-fetched. I just couldn't place my hands on it.The loud sound from my phone jerked me out of my thoughts. I held the towel around my body in place with my hands as I stood to my feet to get my phone. I grabbed the phone off the bed and I was surprised to see Uncle Mark's name flashed across the screen before it went blank and black.It's been a while I heard from him. He never contacted since that day Adrian took me away from his place.I unlocked the phone and was about to dial his number whe

Ryan's POV"Thank you!" I smiled at the hotel attendant that led us to our room. The lady smiled politely and left us to sort ourselves out. I pulled in our bags and set them aside, right in front of the wardrobe.I heard Anna heave a sigh as she plopped on the bed."You tired?" I asked, even though it was obvious.She hummed in response and I walked towards the bed."Get some sleep then." I pulled the duvet over her. "We'll go on a walk when you wake up.""Okay, babe." She smiled slightly and I kissed her on her forehead.She shut her eyes and I headed for the couch. I had my seat and went through my phone. There was absolutely nothing I could do apart from that. Few minutes later, I became bored and sleepy.But before I could sleep off, my phone rang. I swiped across the screen to answer the call."Hey," Roman's voice rang through my ears."Ro

Ryan's POV "Are you alright?" I hurriedly asked as I tried to help him up but he pulled me back down. "Lay low for a minute!" "What's going on?" I thought aloud as my eyes scanned the area. Sam stood up and I could hear the blaring sound of the police siren. "I need to go." He said and left in a haste. "Wait! Are..." I couldn't complete my words before he was out of sight. "What just happened?" I thought as I stood to my feet. He doesn't look hurt by the way so I've got little to worry about. I raised my head just in time to see the police vans approaching from afar. "I need to leave this place now. If they catch up with me, I might have to state unnecessary explanations." I muttered under my breath and thankfully, I was able to leave the scene before the police vans pulled up. ~ "Where have you bee

Samantha’s POV“Tick Tock …tick tock…” I clicked my tongue at intervals and tapped my fingers on the bed while I waited for a call. I glanced at my wristwatch to see what the time was. I was close to being late and the damned assistant of mine, who was supposed to be here an hour ago, was nowhere to be seen.The delay had irked the hell out of me. I mean, ought to meet the businessman who wanted me here today. The so-called assistant should have been here an hour before our departure time to brief me about the things I needed to know, yet he wasn’t here.Infuriated, I grabbed my phone. If this was how messy uncle Mark planned his things, it’d be better if I cancel all this now.“Hey,” I said the moment he answered the call.“Lia, what’s up?”“What the hell is wrong with the man you assigned to me? Was it not in your plans for him t

Samantha's POV I smiled at Mr Atkinson while I watched him walk down the stage and headed towards me. He stopped when he got to my front and sat down on the unoccupied seat opposite mine. “Thanks for your presence tonight, Emilia.” He appreciated. “The pleasure is all mine.” “Please, request for anything you need during this party from the waiters.” “Okay.” I nodded and then lifted my wineglass to have a sip when my eyes darted around until they fell on someone familiar. I paused and lowered my glass with my eyes still fixed on him and the lady he sat with. A sudden feeling sprang up in me the moment I saw that lady, and to think they were both sharing a good laugh. Unconsciously, I've transferred the unexplainable feeling to the wineglass in my hand as I intensified my grip. “You should know him.” Atkinson's question snapped me out of my trance, which tore my g

Samantha’s POVThe lights in my room turned on and off at my control, with me staring into the space and focusing on nothing. My mind was hazy and I felt unsettled. I had shut out Uncle Mark for two days straight, and I haven’t spoken to Adrian as well.These two men attempted to reach me, but I wasn’t giving them the chance. I’d lose my resolve if I did.I didn’t want either of them to lecture me on what and what not. They’d both end up telling me I was treading a wrong and dangerous path.Basically, why have I stayed in for days?To think and reconsider my actions. That’s why!I halted my action of turning the light bulbs on and off. Dragging up my pillow, I sat up and rested my back on it.“What if I was actually treading a wrong path? Why have I chosen these unclear feelings of mine over revenge? What would happen to my path of revenge if

Author’s POVStanding from the bed, Samantha heaved a sigh and traipsed over to the closet. She dragged out her box and grabbed some wears from it. She examined the selected wears and chose the ones in black alongside a mask.Samantha returned the box and proceeded to dress up.“I shouldn’t care but here I am.” She mumbled as she fixed the straps of the mask. Ready in her black attire, she went back to her bed to pick up her phone and a revolver. Samantha checked what the time was and she realized it was almost six o’clock in the evening.“It really took me a while to decide.” She let out a sigh as she strolled out of her suite, removing the mask again after a second thought.She knew the mask would draw unnecessary attention to her dressing. She locked the suite’s door and walked over to the elevator. Once she was out of the hotel, she tried to get a cab but found none. Samantha walked down the path and suddenly, someone pulled her from be

Samantha’s POVThe meeting with Mr Atkinson went hitch free. I had promised myself that would be the last meeting with the man, so I made sure I sealed every deal before leaving his place. The moment I entered my suite, I got ready to go back home. Dragging my travelling bag behind me, I dropped it close to the bed and packed some of my things. I threw every bit of my stuff into the box and when I was certain I left nothing behind; I zipped the bag and pulled it up. My phone’s screen lit up, so I reached out to pick it up. It was a message from David. My brows arched as I read.“I’m sorry I cannot escort you back home. I had to leave immediately, Miss. Something urgent came up, and I’ll tell you about it when you get back. My apologies!”I deleted the message and navigated through my phone to get Aaron’s contact.“Hello.” I breathed out the moment he answered, and I simultaneously sat on the bed. “I’m done packing. You can get the cab now.” “Okay, Miss.” He answered with no hesit
