Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta 11 - They are gone
ADELINA'S POV The entire night I was wide awake, not even a wink of sleep. How could I sleep when I knew by day break I was leaving the little security I felt here. That aside whenever I closed my eyes images after images of the wedding appeared in my mind. Their blank stares haunted me in my dreams. It was my fault, all my fault. I caused their deaths. My eyes shot open, my chest heaving as I struggled to breath. My entire body was drenched with sweat with large dark circles under my eyes. Testament of my sleepless nights. "Hsssss," a sharp hiss left my lips as I struggled to sit up with my back against the head board. The bright sun rays were peaking through the window. The curtains flutter slightly. The sun was already high from my guess it was close to mid day. My eyes darted around the room until it fell on the side drawer at the other side of the bed where there was a set of cleanly folded clothes and a note. I rolled over to the other side. My hand r

ADELINA'S POV It was a threat, and from the way her eyes burned, something in my guts told me she was more than capable of doing that. I nervously gulped, my fist balling. "I don't know where you got that idea from, because my surname is Marino doesn't mean I am associated with the Mafia syndicate. Marino is a popular surname, and besides, I haven't done anything to warrant such threats." I defended myself not letting myself be pushed down by her. She might be powerful but she had no right to push me around. Jessica scoffed, "Do you have any idea who you are talking to? My brother is the present governor, and I don't want to brag about my family connections, but I am more than capable of making one girl disappear. After al, you have no one." My eyes dilated, she was related to the Slade family. Talk about trouble, that explains why she quickly associated me with the Marino family. My family has had some deals with the Slade family in the past and has rigged a cou

ADELINA'S POV I stared at the court for a while, my heart felt heavy. A mix of anger and bitterness. Beep, the honking sounds of the car beside me drew me out of my thoughts. I gave Casper a weak smile, he was a bit impatient. "Here we go," I drew in a breath then marched into the large government building. My steps felt heavy as I climbed up the stairs then finally entered through the revolving doors. As soon as I got in, the loud news report from the TV in the reception area caught my attention. It was not surprising to know my family affair was making headlines. Oddly enough, nothing was mentioned about the bride. It felt like the media was deliberately hiding my identity, or rather, they had no idea I existed. Either way, it was a win for me. I walked up to the receptionist, it was the same lady that assisted when I came with Viktor. She was surprised to see me so soon. "Good morning, I wasn't expecting to see you on this lovely Saturday morning. I hope th

ADELINA'S POV Exhaustion washed over me as I stepped out of the government building. The sun was blazing and hot. I had to shield myself from its rays with the envelope I had in my hand. Even the sun wasn't on my side today. I quickly spotted the silver car Casper drove me in and approached it. He actually waited all this while in the car. Casper sensed me approaching the car from a distance away and glanced in my direction. He was on a call which he hung up on as soon as I opened the door. "Thank you for waiting. I am sorry I took a long time." I chimed while buckling my seat belt. Casper didn't reply or ask what I was doing and just started the car. I had a feeling he didn't like me, not that I cared. Casper quickly changed directions to the direction of the Marino mansion. He didn't even ask me for the way he already knew. The drive was quiet and a bit long, but soon, we approached the familiar gates of my family mansion. The gates were closed so Casper had

ADELINA'S POV The happiest day of a woman's life was meant to be the day she gets married to the love of her life and I thought it was true. I had never felt this genuinely happy in my life before, despite all the resistance of us being from rival mobs. Finally, I was getting married to Viktor, the Mafia boss of a rival Russian mob today. Although my marriage was not purely based on love, the main goal was to join two of the biggest Mafia underground associations. My fiance, Viktor, owned one of the richest and most dangerous Russian mobs; my father agreed to this marriage to seek his protection as our group, despite its large size, is nothing compared to Viktor's association. The soft organ melody echoed through the large sculptured walls of the old cathedral to the outside, it was loud enough to reach the environs. Stepping down from the car I made my way towards the large doors of the ancient cathedral. The doors swung open, and everyone's eyes were dra

ADELINA'S POV The best day of my life slowly turned into a scene from a nightmare I could not wake up from. Sitting in a white pool lace of my long princess wedding dress, my face was pale, and I froze. "Papa," I said again but it came out like a whimper this time around. The flower bouquet in my hand was on the floor. I grabbed my face with both hands, shaking my head over and over again, thinking it was a nightmare, but it was real. All that was on my mind was to reach my father's side, but Viktor had other plans. He firmly held my arm. "Where are you going, Mrs Romanov ?" He asked me. I did not care about that title. All I wanted was to run to my father's side. Why did Viktor shoot Dad? We were his allies. No matter how I think of it, my head could not think of a reason why. "This is a wedding present from me to you." He grinned at me. Everyone was in shock because of the sudden gunfire. Soon, it sank into my father's men's heads that their leader was shot, and

MIKHAIL'S POV I hated crowded places, especially ones filled with humans, but this was what I could not escape if I wanted to make sure I stood at the Pinnacle of the business world. Twirling the wine glass in between my fingers, my eyes glanced around the hall, looking for anything that could pique my interest. "What do you think about the corporation? Mr Romanov." An annoying voice chattered in my ears. I glanced at the middle-aged man who had been trying his best to strike a deal with me, but it was not a profitable venture. "I will think about it." I politely declined, even though we both knew I was not going to give him a second thought. How boring? A sigh left my lips for the hundredth time today. I was bored out of my mind. Maybe I should have attended the wedding even though my beloved brother didn't invite me. It would be fun to see the unfortunate human he tricked into marrying him. The unfortunate soul I would have to kill when I finally get rid of that menace Vi

ADELINA'S POV I was completely blown out of my mind when I heard him. Mikhail Romanov was a mystery to me. A seasoned businessman who suddenly popped out of nowhere and stormed the entire business world. There was very little about him online but there were rumours of how ruthless he was when taking out his competition and how much underground connection he has. When I said I was ready to do anything in my mind, the most degrading thing that crossed my mind was to be his servant at his mercy, but it never crossed my mind he would tell me to strip in a public event. I bit my lower lip in between my teeth, not only because of how nervous I felt in his presence but also thanks to the Bullet wound in my arm. "You must be joking, that can't be a request." I blurted. Thinking he would laugh out, saying it was a joke, but he didn't budge one bit. He stood tall with his hand in his pocket and his eyes keenly observing me. His lips parted, and my heartbeat dropped at his next state

Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta 10 - A curse not a bond
MIKHAIL'S POV She is dangerous, more dangerous than I expected. Today turned out with surprises I could not appreciate; finding out I am mated to a human is the worst thing I could imagine. It was a bond that could not be broken since it was mainly one-sided, and there was no way I was going to take the risk of exposing the existence of the other side hidden from humans to her. The plan was simple to entertain her long enough until I could figure out what to do about the entire situation. I know Viktor was not going to give up that easily but I could not take the risk of her being in the same building with me for long. My wolf was already clawing inside, wanting to come out, wanting to claim her, but he, of all people, knew why that couldn't happen. He knows the catastrophe that would cause if news leaks of the Lycan King having a human mate, having a weakness. She might be feisty and a bit crazy but it will take more than that to survive in my world. She had
Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta 9 - red riding hood and the wolf
ADELINA'S POV I hated to see what I had become; I hated to beg at the mercy of someone, but it seemed I didn't have much of a choice either. Fear and desperation had eaten deep into me. It wasn't just a matter of revenge but of survival. Viktor was going to come after me and this was the only sanctuary I could get. He stared back at me, his gaze dead and unwavering at my desperate cries. "You are ready to give anything." He asked me, his cold gaze fixated on me. My throat suddenly went dry because it felt like the gaze of a predator and not a human. I slowly nodded and a smirk graced his lips His slender fingers slowly reached out and fell on my lips, causing my breath to hitch at the sudden strange sparks, something I hadn't felt before. My throat was going dry. His finger rolled over my lips, and I felt my heartbeat slow down as his eyes slowly went down to my cleavage. He leaned forward, and for a split second, I saw Viktor and a scene I wanted to forget. I
Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta 8 - No one is a saint
ADELINA'S POV The dining room was lavish with the table filled with several delicacies. Mikhail sat at the head of the table with the lady sitting by his right. Mikhail's attention was on his food. He could care less about my presence, and the same could not be said for his lady friend. Her sharp dark eyes were on me as soon as I stepped into the room. "Who is she?" she demanded; Mikhail sighed and then glanced at me before turning back to cut his food on his plate. "She is a guest. Try to accommodate her for now." He answered smoothly. I was still stuck close to the door, I didn't like the way things were heading. "A guest, you didn't tell me you had someone at your house." She sneered at him, his face scrunching up into a scowl. "I am glad you know it is my house, Jessica." Mikhail sneered, not sparing the lady whose name turns out to be Jessica a single glance. "Mikhail," she drawled displeased, from the way she was reacting. My best guess was that she w
Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta 7 - The other woman
ADELINA'S POV A gentle tap on my shoulders jolted me from my slumber. My eyes popped out to meet a set of strange dark eyes. "We have arrived," he said, then gave me his hand, which I accepted. My head was spinning a bit. I was able to recognize him as the man Mikhail handed me over to. He led me out of the car, we were in an estate of a sort. An enormous mansion that screamed wealth stood in the background. It was already evening; the sun was already crossing the horizon, spreading its orange hue around the sky. "Is this Mikhail's place?" I asked as my eyes darted around to admire the spacious environs. The estate was close to the mountains, far from the busy city, with the property spreading over a large expanse of forest. Mikhail must either be very introverted or love nature to enjoy staying in such a place. "It is Mr Romanov for you and we need to get you into something presentable." His eyes darted around my iconic bloody wedding dress that was torn. My heart
Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta 6 - A dare devil
ADELINA'S POV I had lost it; never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine myself having a gun to my head and threatening to kill myself. My family might have been deeply rooted in the Mafia but I was the princess that was covered and protected from it. I was taught basic survival skills and given everything I wanted but never was I put in danger of any sort until today Viktor took it all from me. "If you are that desperate, pull the trigger." My breath hitched, as my eyes snapped to the source of the voice. Standing nonchalantly while twirling a glass of wine in between his fingers Mikhail watched me like a source of amusement. His eyes were taunting. "Do you think I am joking?" I sneered at him, his taunting gaze pushing me to the edge. If I had an inhibition for pulling the trigger it was gone now. His lips curled up to a smirk, "what do you think?" My hand tightened against the gun, it was clear I was lost of hope. "Fine, I hope you join me in hell soon." I
