**** Trigger warning ahead****** ADELINA'S POV Casper was his best friend. I knew they were close but didn't know it was that close. That was not important at the moment, but the fact that a man over 200cm tall had me trapped under him was. One I didn't stand the slightest chance against in a fight. I saw how he dealt with those guys like they were nothing. I was scared and shaking to my bones, but a part of me was secretly excited, the same part that was annoyed with the way he was acting. The little daredevil in me. "Why do you care what I do Mikhail? If not for the fact that I got sick, who knows I might have been under him, moaning sweetly as he ground into my pussy. I am sure you know what my moans sound like." I retorted at him and watched that annoying handsome face of his twist with jealousy. Oh boy, it was fun watching him finally lose it. He kept on keeping the cool image. Fuck him because no one tells me how to fuckin live. Mikhail laughed, his hand grabbed m
**** 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
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
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
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
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
