Mia’s POVIn as much as that I couldn't let Kraven know what I think about all of this because at this state, he needs more evidence to believe. I knew that I didn't have to just sit, fold my arms and watch him collapse when he felt like he was working on things that were at the edge of falling apart.As soon as Kraven made sure that Sasha was in one of the visitor's rooms, he instructed one of his guards that I never knew lived in with us to stay just behind the door and watch over Sasha.Even at this point, he still believes that trust is a big deal to him and I fully understand that.“I am going out now, Mia. I will see you soon. I need to fix something as you can see. Be cool but don't forget that I have my eyes on you.”As soon as he left, I went back to the sitting room where they had placed the flash drive and logged in his private computer in the bedroom. It was with no password and I could tell for free that he had nothing tangible in there to have left it without a password.
Mia’s POVIt was the worst day in Kraven's life since I got in contact with him because if not, I wouldn't know what or how to explain this.Just at the same time, many things in his name were going down just so fast. The club and his clothing stores.I never knew that the clothing store that I had complimented so well that it spelt luxury was his.The way he did everything codedly was something I couldn't have related to, he gave me his card and asked me to pay like we couldn't come there to pick everything we need and leave. I fully understand it was so I wouldn't suspect anything.To be honest, I never knew that he had any legit business.Aside from the club I knew he had, I wouldn't have known he owns that luxury clothing store too.A growl literally slipped from his throat the moment another call came, that he couldn't even bother to hide the irritation twisting through him. His face was as if one more person called him with another disaster about his business, he might just smas
Kraven’s POVNo.This was personal.The kind of personal that made your gut churn before your mind caught up.I stared at the message on my screen, the backlight painting cold lines across my face as every letter felt like a punch. Whoever this bastard was, they didn’t just want to ruin me—they wanted to humiliate me. Crumble me from the inside out.And they were doing a damn good job so far, I must recommend.I had to forward a message to one of my boys, and went downstairs to the sitting room to sit, hoping that soon he would be here.“Is there any way you think I could be of help, Kraven?”Mia asked as she had followed me to the sitting room too.“No, Mia. I am fine. I think I can handle it.”Deep down, I knew this was gradually eating me up and I wish I could ask for help but then, I don't think that Mia could be in a better position to help me as it stands now.A soft knock on the door came and then after the door creaked open. I didn’t even have to look up. I already knew who it
Kraven’s POVWhile we were still on it, my phone buzzed again.A low growl slipped from my throat. I didn’t even bother to hide the irritation twisting through me. If one more person called me with another disaster, I might just smash the damn phone to pieces.I was almost about to ask myself what offense I had committed today. The calls had been non-stop, like the universe was trying to throw me off balance.With a groan, I looked at my phone and squinted at the screen. It was Daniel—my lead developer, the guy who practically lived inside the AI headquarters.Daniel didn’t call unless he had something tangible to let me know. And the fact that he had called twice in one day? As he had called earlier but I had missed his call and he was calling again a bit earlier on and had wanted to return his call when I saw his call but I forgot. That wasn’t just a red flag—it was a whole damn parade.My thumb hesitated over the green button. Something about his call didn’t feel right.Daniel hardl
Mia's POVJust immediately, I noticed the caller was Greg, I felt so uncomfortable with it all. From the first time I saw him, I feel.just off about him but that wouldn't change anything as he is Kraven's best friend.“Hello, man.”His voice came through over the phone the moment Kraven picked up and switched it to speaker. I didn’t know why he had to do that. Maybe he was trying to prove he had no skeleton in his cupboard. But from the look on his face, I could see how drained he already was. The news from his manager had shaken him. He was hanging on by a thread.“Can you tune in to Channel 7?” Greg asked. “There’s something you need to see for yourself.”Kraven’s eyes shifted to me for a split second, then back to the floor. His shoulders looked like they were carrying a mountain. His voice came out flat. “What could that be? Just say it at once. I’ve had enough for one day. I’m expecting the worst already.”Greg didn’t sound surprised. “I wouldn’t want to devastate you more than I
Kraven’s POVHe kept mute for a moment, and I wouldn't know what was going through his mind. His eyes were on me, then away, like they couldn't decide whether to hold me accountable or protect me.The silence felt loud. The kind that claws at your chest when everything inside you is beginning to clear up and make sense. I tried to read her expression—maybe she already sensed the storm coming.Not long enough, my phone rang. I ignored it the first time. My head was still too full. But then it rang again, louder now, sharper as though the world refused to give me one damn minute of peace.“Excuse me, let me take this call,” I muttered, stepping slightly aside, trying to gather the tension tightening around my spine. I picked up the phone with a breath I didn’t realize I was holding.It was my business manager.“Hello,” I said sharply the moment the call connected.“Good day, boss,” he began, his tone already tight with urgency and no hesitation. He went straight to it. “Boss, the compan
