ADELINA'S POV

There was no way they could get everything ready on time. It was close to impossible. What happened to my system? This felt like a plan just to ruin my credibility in the office and I could think of just one person.

My eyes went to Kimberly, who had finished speaking to the male colleague. Kimberly sensed something was wrong and got up looking concerned.

"Is something wrong, Miss Bernie?" She asked Lydia sounding like the most concerned person in the world. "We lost some parts of the project proposal. It seems her system got infected with a virus." Lydia explained.

Kimberly's face went pale. "The project got sabotaged!!" Her voice was deliberately high to draw the attention of others who started to gather because of how important this was for the team.

"What do you mean by sabotage?" Sophia asked trying to be calm. My hand clenched, Lydia was in too much confusion to answer, so I had to.

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   151 - Disaster struck

    ADELINA'S POV "Welcome, how was school today?" Lydia chimed as soon as she spotted me approaching. "It was endurable," I replied. There were two cups of coffee in my hand. I placed one next to Lydia, then the one on my desk, and started arranging my things. "Doesn't sound that bad. By the way, I need the file you were working on. We are going to have a team meeting in a few minutes." Lydia mentioned, her hands reached out to grab the coffee "Also thanks for the coffee, it's just what I needed." She added, she had absolutely no idea the type of look that was on my face. My lips parted and closed. "The meeting is today." I blurted, and Lydia didn't take her eyes off her work. She was super occupied being the team leader. "Yes, Kimberly was in charge of passing the memo. Everyone got it. There is no way she missed you." A sharp hiss left my lips, and my eyes snapped towards Sophia's cabin, where Kim's desk was. Kim was busy chatting with

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   150 - It was war

    ADELINA'S POV "I have every right to call you whatever Adel. I warned you to stay away from Asher but you used an assignment to throw yourself at him. What were you doing with Asher when you were the only ones left in the room? You had to run out, Adel." My throat went dry. That night was a mistake. I had no intention of kissing Asher, it just happened, but there was no way I was going to admit that to Kimberly. "Petra called me back home for an emergency. If you don't trust me then ask your boyfriend. You should trust him more." I scoffed at her and her expression turned uglier. "You ugly bitch." She cussed, and I scoffed at her. Her insecurities were messing with her and she was determined to make my life hell. Kimberly had no intentions of letting off the hook easily "If I am ugly you won't be worried about Asher. I have told you before. I have no interest in your boyfriend and if you think you can cause trouble here for me. I am not

    ADELINA'S POV "It's fine, by the way, I haven't introduced you. Kimberly, this is Adel. She is also an intern. You should know each other since you are in the same school." Sophia chimed excitedly. . Kimberly, what was she doing here? Why did she even need an internship in the first place? My thoughts screamed out. Kimberly excitedly walked towards me. She was a good actor without a doubt. She knew I was avoiding her, as if I didn't want to accept the fact that she was also here. This was my sanctuary and safe place from Kim.Why was she also taking this from me? She stood directly in front of me, her brown eyes sparkling with her fake dyed blonde hair, which she spent a fortune on. The money was worth it, though. Kimberly was pretty, confident and a wicked brat. "I am glad we are working together, Adel. Let's make sure it will be fun." She gave me her hand. Sophia's eyes were sparkling she was hinting for me to shake her I reluctantly accepte

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   148- back to the office

    ADELINA'S POV The house seemed empty, my footsteps echoing as I made my way up the stairs. The slight creaking sounds of the stairs made it feel eerie. "It's good to be back home," I muttered sluggishly climbing up the stairs. On arriving at my room door, I pushed it open and then stepped in. My eyes zeroed in on the bed, and my legs moved to it like it was remotely controlled before I collapsed on it face down. God, I was exhausted. I rolled around and switched on my phone to check my messages. Petra stayed back in Lunaria; she would be coming back in a few days. My mind was a haze; a lot of things were going on in there. Why did Mikhail stay back? Did it have anything to do with Ophelia? My chest felt tight, and a bitter sense of jealousy and exhaustion mixed in me. I was exhausted from the long flight but my mind did stop thinking about Mikhail and Ophelia. "Maybe I will just sleep on it," I mumbled, I felt so exhausted I couldn't even get off the bed

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   147 - Time to leave

    ADELINA'S POV "Just hear me out. It wasn't in my hand.” Petra started explaining more like making excuses. “it was out of my way to tell you Viktor was an exile prince. I did try to convince you he wasn't a good guy but you didn't listen. What else could I do? It was the same way, I could not tell you my dad is a senior director in Genesis, and my brother actually works with Mikhail. I didn't mention he was a senior staff member." It kind of made sense. Viktor was an exile prince which explained why Mikhail and him were on bad terms. My guts told me Mikhail was the one behind the banishment "Fine, I understand." Petra released a long breath she had been holding in for a while. God, she was nervous. "I am glad you understand. I was wondering if you want to hang out today. Since you don't have any work today." She suggested. I was too lazy to go out today and just wanted to stay in. "I just want to stay in today." After tha
