Alina Pov

My mind raced more than it ever did before. The last time I had this feeling was when I fled from my wedding. I can’t believe it’s only been over a week since then, it felt like forever. But that’s not important right now, what I need to do is figure out a way to escape Harris and hopefully make it back to Mikhail somehow.

I wish I could tell him where he’s taking me or something but my first attempt got my phone thrown out the window. I don’t know how to contact him now.

I shifted slightly in my seat and rubbed my wrist which still throbbed from when he grabbed me earlier.

What if I jumped out the car at the first red light?

No. That wouldn’t work.

Even if I was fast enough and made it out in time, he would have his men dragging me back before I took five steps. And plus what if I hurt myself badly? Then I really wouldn’t be able to escape.

I have to wait. Watch and pretend to be the old Alina, the second I see an opening I’ll take it and escape.

The jeep slowed down and I

    Back in the present, the silence in the room was still present. Alina’s father clenched his jaw so hard that a vein pulsed at his temple, his eyes filled with rage was now covered in disbelief and fear?“You are lying. You must be.” He said with a low voice, as if it he raises it again, something bad might happen. I only stared into his eyes without a single emotion before straightening my back to glare at him from my height.“I assure you, I am not.” I replied.The weight of those words seemed to have slammed into the room. Mrs. Etienne gasped softly, her hand instinctively grabbing her chest before gently slapping her husband’s shoulder.“How… how could you not recognize the son of Dmitri Andreev?” she whispered in accusation. I glance at Alina which made my eyes soften a bit, she was just as frightened as her parents. She locked her eyes with mine and I could see the confusion and fear in her expression.Mr. Etienne’s nostrils flared as he looked to the guards. “Why are his hands f

  • The Last Time I Said Yes   Chapter Twenty-One

    Twenty Two Years Ago…I remember the sounds of laughter from my classmates in school. For a moment, I too was one of them, running around and chasing each other with a happy smile on my face. I forgot myself.That soon shattered when I saw my dad’s bodyguard in a distance, watching me with no emotion. He turned to leave and I took it as my sign to follow him. The other children didn’t even notice me walking away. They were too focused on playing and continued to do so as if I had never been there.Each step I took towards the parking lot felt heavier because I knew this would be reported back to my father. And then there he was, standing beside the car with the back seat door open, waiting for me. His eyes were cold as he watched me get into the car before entering himself.I sat quietly beside him. I didn’t need to say anything because he knows. He somehow always knew.“You are the successor to the Andreev Empire, and yet you waste your time running with children who will never matte

    Mikhail PovHer breath came in ragged waves. I watched her chest rise and fall as if she had run for miles. She couldn’t keep her gaze on me and kept darting her eyes everywhere except for mine. I could feel the warmth of her body even through my suit as I hovered over her.I didn’t move, instead, I stayed close to her. Bracing myself on one arm beside her while my knee kept her pinned gently in place. My eyes trailed over her form, she trembled slightly but was not pushing me away. When I shifted she made a cute sound as my knee grazed her core.“You’re trembling,” I murmured lowly, with my lips curved slightly upwards.Her eyes locked unto my for a second, then she looked away and swallowed hard. “I… I’ve never-”“I know,” I said, the shrugged. “I can tell, and I would never take what you’re not ready to give.”Her eyes flicked back to meet mine, and the intensity there made my pulse quicken. I can still taste her when I run my tongue over my lips.I want more.God help me, I want t

    Now we’ve been left alone.The music from the ongoing opera was like a low hum in the distance. Mikhail doesn’t speak right away, he simply stood there staring at the closed door. It takes him a few seconds before he finally turns fully towards me.His gaze made me look away instantly. My hands tighten around the folds of my dress until it creased.“Are you okay?” his question comes softly and unexpectedly. It was gentle, yet it cut through me like a knife. I wasn’t prepared to see him again, not here or ever.I shook my head continuously. “You shouldn’t be here,” I whispered.His reply was instant. “Neither should you.”That makes me turn to him at last, and his gaze soften when he saw my teary eyes. The tears clung stubbornly to my lashes and threatened to spill over. For a heartbeat neither of us made a move. The tension between us was heavy.He shifts his weight from one leg to the other. “I’ve come to take you back,” he said without hesitation. His voice was steady but there was

    Mikhail stood at the far end of the buffet table, examining the large selection of food trays but the expression he wore, wasn’t someone who was there for the food.“Mikhail, this is my friend Alina.” Isabella called and he turned towards us. His gaze landed on me first and he was composed as ever.“Hello Alina,” he said. “It’s good to see you… unhurt.” His eyes swiftly raked over my form before stopping at my mine.My lips parted slightly, but I pressed them back together before I finally spoke.“Thank you.”My gaze darted away from his to the glittering display of champagne glasses. Isabella seemed to have noticed the weird tension between us but she didn’t so much as raise a brow. Instead, she smiled and reached for a chocolate covered strawberry from a golden tray.“By the way Alina, you missed quite the moment earlier,” she said with amusement in her tone. “Mikhail here gave David-” she paused, “the guy I showed up with, an unexpected little demonstration,” She sighed contentedly

    Alina Pov I hate this. I hate everything about this party. I don’t know a single soul in this room, and they were all here for me, or rather, the version of me my father wanted them to see. I was still locked in my room until this morning, when the key turned the lock I thought maybe, just maybe he’d come to speak to me like a father. Instead he stood in the doorway, perfectly composed and informed me of the party as if it was a business transaction. And now here I was, standing beside him in a dress I didn’t pick to wear, wearing jewelry I don’t want, presenting myself in front of people I don’t want to see. My father turned to look at me when he mentioned my name to the audience and I forced a smile on my face. “You will be on your best behavior.” Those were his words to me before he left my room this morning, leaving no room for discussion. “Ladies and gentlemen, friends, family, and all those who’ve supported us… tonight, we raise a glass to the safe return of my daughter, Ali
