ADELINA'S POV

I turned around, trying my goddamn best not to pull that fake blonde hair–ripping it from her scalp.

"Incompetency you say. Kim everything was going perfectly fine before you decided to show up and ruin it. Pray I don't find any evidence, or you will be gone, never being able to set foot in Genesis." I threatened.

It felt like I was a joke, Kimberly didn't look scared. She had probably cleaned every evidence and worse stepped up a fake culprit. My fingers curled into a fist

"Point fingers however you want, it doesn't change the fact that lives are at risk, their jobs are threatened because of you. They will hate Lydia for giving you such an important assignment, then you, whose incompetence cost them everything." She spat. Kimberly was the true she-devil; she knew what she was doing, and this was all for Asher.

"If you love Asher so much, try fixing your relationship without ruining lives. How do you sleep without guilt?" I asked her.

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   163 - Poker Queen

    ADELINA'S POV The air felt tense, the tension was crawling over my skin but I could handle it. "Now that everything is done, can we have a lady share the cards?" Benji requested, and Karis agreed to do so. "I can do that." She chimed in accepting the deck of cards. Her hands were swift as she shuffled the cards under everyone's eyes. The maid moved away, sharing some drinks and finger snacks, just to get everyone into the mood, just before the game. Then she started sharing the cards among the players, Benji, Ivan, Mikhail, Casper, Xander, Lucien and me the only girl brave enough to go against the men although from the rules the other Ladies technically had already lost but I was sure whoever was going to win won't give them any crazy dare or truth. Karis dealt the cards with that calm, graceful flick of her wrist, her polished fingers moving like she’d done it a hundred times. Her eyes were teasing, mocking everyone at the table. "I hope you guys are lucky. My

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   162 - Game of poker

    ADELINA'S POV I knew the game was going to be twisted but stripping that was beyond me. There were some gasps, especially from the other ladies. They probably didn't expect this twist. Karis's glare said everything. I think she was more upset than Mikhail "Unfortunately I am not good at poker." She said, "That's fine. Xander is an excellent player. If you are uncomfortable with it, you can let this pass, but you are free to observe ." Benji, who turned to the mediator's explanation, kind of made everyone relax a bit. Though I know most of them want to play. "What are the rules?" Mikhail asked, I was expecting him to still oppose the idea because every part of his body said he hated this game. Benji smiled. "I am glad you are coming around the rules are simple. It will be a regular poker game, but instead of chips, we are going to bargain with clothing items from watches down to undies, depending on how crazy you are." He teased, Karis's face twisted hearing his explanation.

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   161 - Play a game

    ADELINA'S POV "Wait, Mikhail, you finally have a serious girlfriend." The statement made my stomach churn. The word ' serious girlfriend' explained a lot of things about Mikhail. Did they know he had a fiancée? I glanced around the room, noticing the person who spoke; he was also a looker with caramel brown hair and hazel eyes that glimmered with mischief. Beside him was a lady, she held a sophisticated presence around her and was the second person I had met with striking emerald green eyes like mine. "You are always the loudest in the room, Lucien." Mikhail sneered. "I prefer to be called Killian in public." Lucien chimed in. The room was warm and quiet, lit by the soft glow of the fireplace and a few low lamps. It wasn’t decorated at all, but it didn’t need to be. The light walls, rich leather chairs, and soft rug underfoot gave the space a private, comfortable feel. The kind of place where only a few were allowed in.There were already four inside, all w

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   160 - Birthday celebration

    ADELINA'S POV Mikhail didn't say anything and continued driving. His eyes were fixed on the road, and soon we were out of the urban area and entered the suburban area. The car was silent except for the low hum of the engine and the occasional sound of tires rolling over rough patches of road. I sat in the passenger seat, hands folded tightly in my lap, sneaking glances at Mikhail every few seconds. He said it was his birthday, and I had already given him a gift. I wondered what he was talking about.He hadn’t said a word since we got in. His jaw was locked, eyes fixed on the road ahead, and his grip on the steering wheel was tight, too tight. His knuckles were white, and there was something cold about the way his face stayed so still. Not angry. Just... unreadable. And that scared me more.I knew he wouldn’t hurt me. Somewhere deep in my chest, I was sure of that. But whatever switch had flipped inside him back at the bus stop, it was still on. I couldn’t unsee it. I

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   159 - Same madness

    ADELINA'S POV The men completely ignored me and charged towards Mikhail. I watched the fight unfold in front of me in disbelief.. How could he move that fast? It even looked like Mikhail was holding back. The remaining 5 were skilled fighters without a doubt, and still, against Mikhail, it looked like children were fighting an adult. He effortlessly evaded their attack and took them down one after the other. It wasn't a fight but a one-sided assault.Their screams tore through the night, mixed with tears, as bones snapped. He was brutal, even too brutal for me, who had seen people being killed in front of me. Was he like this because of his status? Lunaria was indeed a strange country. "Please stop, we can't take it anymore." The only one who had the strength to beg cried out but Mikhail was not done. His eye was still as cold as it was from the start.. "You know I can kill every one of you and get away with it. That is pretty tempting." He drawled. It didn't

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   158- Then make me

    ADELINA'S POV The group slowly gathered around me. Their disgusting eyes made their intentions obvious. This was why I didn't want to take the night bus. It was dangerous. It was a group of 6, from the build and numerous tattoos I could read they were the type that have gotten into a couple of fights. They were experienced fighters. They all had dark brunette hair and dressed to the teeth in hard leather. Were they bikers? I wondered, noticing they had similar tattoos on their neck. If they were bikers, where were their bikes? I stepped backwards stumbling into something hard; one was behind me. I quickly moved away but the jerk from earlier was already in front of me "Stop being jumpy. We will make it fun. Trust me, gang bang is the dream of many girls. " Bile rose up my throat. "Get off my face." I barked at him and sent a kick towards him. He evaded it. "How sweet, she is a kicker. Come on, let's see what you can do." He chuckled then sent a punch at
