ADELINA'S POV

The entire night I was wide awake, not even a wink of sleep. How could I sleep when I knew by daybreak 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 breathe. 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 headboard. 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 they 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 reached out

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   176 - Run Mishka

    **** trigger warning skip if you can't handle dark scenes**** ADELINA'S POV My stomach grumbled and I stirred uncomfortably in my sleep. Rolling from one point to another on the bed. My brows furrowed, ' What am I doing on a bed?' I wondered. I clearly remember collapsing in the living room and the driver followed me in. How did I get to the bed? The room felt weird. My eyes slowly opened, and the room was dark. The feeling didn't go away, the strange feeling that made my stomach churn. I sat up, my eyes darted around the room until they fell on my study desk. For a moment I could not breathe with my heart hammering loudly.. "Mikhail," I called out, my voice shaking. A mix of fear and disbelief filled me. He didn't reply, "Who are you?" I asked, almost barking at the man who sat across the room, with a calm expression and his deep blue eyes staring at me like everything else was dust.. His gaze didn't flatter, the room was dimly lit by the night light from the window th

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   175 - He didn't care

    ADELINA'S POV The club pulsed like a living thing loud, hot, and wild. The air was thick with the strong stench of alcohol, cigarettes and that feeling that makes you feel alive. The bass throbbed under my feet, deep and steady, shaking through the floor and up into my chest. Lights flashed in every direction, reds, blues, purples making everything feel like a dream I wasn’t fully inside yet. Jonathan's thick perfume wafted towards me as we danced too close. I could taste the sweetness of my drink still on my tongue and feel the heat clinging to my skin. I didn’t care. I was free. When was the last time I let loose like this? A laugh escaped my lips. "It's my favourite song." I chimed holding onto Jonathan "You love Olivia and heartbreak songs." He commented. What could I say my love life was a complete mess. Jonathan spun me once, and I laughed, loud and real. My hair stuck to my neck, my dress clung to my hips, and my feet barely touched the ground as I moved to the music

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   174 - Hold my waist

    ADELINA'S POV As a reward for securing the deal, the entire team was hosted by Mikhail at one of the best clubhouses in the city. "I can't wait to loosen up after all this tension." Sophia giggled, her eyes sparkling with excitement after hearing the news. "I am not sure I can go, my fiancé already made plans for tonight." Lydia sighed disheartened. It was past closing hours, so we had to work late today in case we were called upon during the signing. "Come on, I can't be the only one going," Sophia whined, then slumped in her seat like her life was over. "Why are you doing this to me?" She continued. Lydia rolled her eyes, then grabbed her bag, ready to leave. Her phone buzzed with a text notification she quickly read. "Jayden is already waiting for me downstairs. Stop being dramatic, Kim and Adel are also going." Lydia said, double-checking if she forgot anything.. I was also getting ready to go home, and I had to call Asher to ask him about the meeting

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   173 - bitchy Kim

    ADELINA'S POV Whispers started to fly around. Kimberly was clearly the one who ruined my outfit, but I was the bad guy for stopping her from making the stain worse. "I wasn't harsh," I argued. Lydia shot me a sharp glare, then Sophia came to console Kimberly, still crying. "I am sorry. I didn't mean to walk into you." She repeated rubbing her eyes. Her act was compelling, without a doubt, but I even got sick of it. "Sorry, Adel didn't mean to be harsh." Sophia chimed. I was sick of watching their drama and stormed away to the restroom. I slammed the door behind me then screamed my guts out. God, I felt like pulling my hair. Kimberly was truly out for me. She knew my appearance was important and ruined my blouse. It was too late to get something else. . "I am sick and tired of this." I groaned. I quickly pulled off the blouse to assess the damage and check if there was any hope of salvaging the situation The stain was pretty large and hard to ignore o

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   172 - Kimberly again

    ADELINA'S POV There was a knock on the door drawing my attention from some notes I was going through. "The door is open," I chimed, dropping the note on the desk. The door was pushed half open, Casper was holding the handle, his eyes darted around the room before they landed on me. "Do you need anything, Casper?" I asked him. My brow was arched at him, waiting for him to say why the hell he was here "Sorry to bother you but I am heading to the office and was wondering if you will need a ride." He asked. It was truly generous of him to offer me a ride. I glanced at my phone screen to check the time. It was already 1 pm. "No, it's fine. Can you give me some time to let me quickly get ready?" I requested. He nodded understanding my request. "Fine, I will be waiting for you in the car then." He politely replied then left. A few minutes later, I walked down the stairs, heading for the door. "I am going to work now," I informed Petra who was still watching h

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   171 - Olivia?!

    ADELINA'S POV The car stopped in front of my home on Ava Street. I could already spot the car Casper left last night and knew he was in. "Thank you for the ride." I chimed at the driver as I got out. I adjust my bag on my shoulders then rush towards the door. It clicked open and I stepped. "Petra," I called out loudly. My eyes were immediately drawn to the living area where the TV was left on. Petra was sitting on the floor watching a movie while munching on some snacks. She didn't hear me at first so I had to call her again. "Petra," I called. My feet quickly made their way towards her. Petra heard this time around and glanced in my direction. "Adelina, you are back. " She chimed with a smile. My eyes darted around her body, noticing just a bandage wrapped around her forehead; aside from that, she looked fine. Petra didn't look like she had just survived a life-threatening accident I got a bit emotional, relief rushed through me and I rushed to pull her
