ADELINA'S POV

Shit, shit. What was wrong with me? Seeing Mikhail made me so nervous that I was losing myself. The annoying grin that made him look more handsome was even pissing me off more.

How I wish he was a bit uglier. "I don't miss you. Why the hell would I miss you?" I retort in defence; maybe the reason I freaked out so much at his allegations was that they were not so far from the truth.

I was indeed thinking about him but not because I miss him or anything. Like the hell would I miss this annoying guy who always catches me in my most embarrassing moments? Just remembering last night he found out I was on my period even made me more embarrassed.

Please whoever was behind fate should spare me a bit of embarrassment. Today, I splashed coffee on his assistant, who he seemed to have caught me stealing glances at.

His eyes glimmered with mischief, and he approached me, forcing me to move backwards. One step forward, I took a step back. He took another step

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   49 - Queen of Bad luck

    ADELINA'S POV How was that possible? What was going on? My brain couldn't process everything properly; a part of me didn't want to believe it, but I watched it; every single detail was exactly how I remembered. "Isn't that your presentation?" Petra gasped, her face twisting up in anger. She had helped me work on it so she had an idea what it was about. I didn't answer her but she quickly got a gist of it. Petra jolted on her feet, "that scheming bitch." She cursed, her hands clutched into a tight fist. I didn't need a genius to know that Kimberly had deliberately embarrassed me in front of everyone including Mikhail. I understood why. She did it because of Asher. I was so tired and frustrated about everything. There was no way I could get back at her, she came from an elite family and must have used her connections to tamper with my project. "Are you going to just sit here and let that bitch steal your show?" Petra asked me, her voice was tired and frustrated. Her eyes g

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   48 - Bratty Kim

    ADELINA'S POV The spotlight shone on me, "You can do this!!" I heard Petra scream from the exit, cheering me; Asher stood there also watching. The auditorium was packed to the brim, just like how Venessa described. They were right I can do this, "THE NEXT PARTICIPANT FROM THE FINAL YEAR, ADELINA MARINO." The officiator announced, from the sound system. There was a soft round of applause welcoming me on stage. "Come on Adelina, blow their minds." I heard Mr Simon urge me from the earbuds I had in my ear. I adjusted the mic pinned on my collar then my mouth parted "Good morning, distinguished guests and honourable...." My voice trailed as I started the address; I felt the tension oozing off as I spoke with confidence. After introducing myself and greeting the audience, I moved on to introduce my topic, but the words got lost from my mouth for a bit; a group that seemed pretty important was entering the auditorium unceremoniously. It was someone pretty powerf

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   47 - school seminar

    ADELINA'S POV Asher had insisted on reporting to the police; I rejected the idea, knowing it would only reveal my ties with Grand Ale's nightclub. I didn't want that to ever resurface; it was a memory that I rather forget. I kept on tossing in my sleep, I could not sleep because of the feeling of being watched. Someone was watching me, it was part of my anxiety for a while now. It felt like someone was close and was about to touch me. My eyes shot open, sweat dripping off my skin; I quickly sat up, my eyes darting around the dark room. The bed lamp clicked on, its dim lights illuminating the room. Some corners were dark, and there didn't seem to be anyone there, but I still asked. "Is anyone there?" My voice was barely a whisper. My heart thudded against my chest so hard that every other sound faded. Including fast breathing, I placed my arm on my chest, which was rising rapidly. "Relax, Adel, there is no one here," I told myself but the words were not even

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   46 - A haunting image

    ADELINA'S POV Mikhail left me in a mess as I could not understand why my body reacted the way it did. After leaving the company building, I took a short walk to the nearest bus stop to save on transportation costs. The entire ride, a soft smile hung on my lips and my cheeks as I ran the entire situation in my mind. I didn't know when a giggle left my lips. Something was definitely wrong with my head and it was his fault. I should not be acting like a love-struck teenager when I had a lot going on in my life, but it wasn't that easy to forget how gentle his touch felt. I wondered if we ever did it, would he be gentle or rip me apart? For crying out loud, why were my thoughts straying? There was something about him I could not understand from the day I saw him after running from the party. He was dangerous, he was arrogant, and he never hid that part, yet there was something around him that made me feel safe. I didn't understand why, but his cologne and signatur

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   45 - Powerless

    ADELINA'S POV Why! Why! Why! I almost screamed out. Why do I always find myself in the most embarrassing situations with Mikhail? My brain froze for a moment; I could feel him right under my panties; why didn't I wear trousers today? "Shit!! I am sorry. I didn't mean any of this, " I shrieked, jumping off him and then grabbing my phone that was still on the floor. What just happened now?! In a state of panic, I pressed the elevator button to exit immediately, unable to face the embarrassment. My mind just wanted to flee. The doors immediately slid open on a random floor; before I could sprint off, a large arm circled my waist, pulling me backwards. Mikhail reached out for the elevator button to close the door immediately. I could catch a glimpse of others on the floor, in absolute shock and confusion. I was slammed against the elevator wall, Mikhail's height towering above me as he caged me in between his arms. "Why do you love to run ginger?" He asked me. Ther

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   44 - The Interview

    ADELINA'S POV Genesis, I could not believe my eyes as I stared at the company building. How was Petra able to get connections into Genesis? It was one of the biggest, if not the biggest, companies. To get an internship here was everyone's dream, yet Petra could pull strings with just some calls. It must be great having connections. I clutched my bag as I made my way into the company building. The inside was more breathtaking than the outside. It was beyond words to describe. "Welcome to Genesis, how can I help you today?" The receptionist welcomed me with a bright smile as soon as I approached the counter. She has a friendly demeanour to match her professionalism. "I am Adelina Marino and I am meant to have an interview by 12 for an internship position," I informed her; she narrowed her eyes at me, taking a moment to gauge my appearance before turning her attention to her desktop. I take back my earlier statement about her being professional. Her fingers rapid

    ADELINA'S POV After giving it some thought I decided to go with the flow as Petra suggested. It won't take much effort to get the recommendation for the scholarship grant to apply. The weekend went by quickly and it was Monday. The second week of the semester and the day Adelina Marino was going to make her grand appearance at the faculty to remind everyone that I was still alive. I stood in front of the mirror admiring my outfit, and girl! Petra had better taste than I ever did. It was a dress which was just perfect, it was blue in colour, my favourite colour that was a perfect fit. It was not too revealing, nor was it too boring; it was just perfect. There was a light knock on the door followed by Petra's voice. "Aren't you done? I am about to leave. Is either you coming out now or you might have to walk down to the bus stop." She reminded me. "Coming. I am already done." I raised my voice a bit for her to hear me. There was no way I was going to walk d

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   42 - Watching Her

    MIKHAIL'S POV As expected Nathan eventually found a flimsy excuse to leave on the pretense of an important call to ditch me and Jessica. He was really intent on setting us up. Jessica must have complained about me giving her cold shoulders. "Your people are really doing a great job here," Nathan mentioned before his phone rang. He faked being distressed, his brows pulling together but I could read through his poor acting skills. He checked his phone and then glanced at us. "I have to pick this. It's important; how about you and Jessica hang out while I handle this." He said, before I could mention a thing he was gone, probably scared I would refuse. He has to be kidding me if he thinks that this would work on me. "So it was a date with your girlfriend all along." Casper just had to chirp his annoying voice in my mind. He had a straight face with his hand tucked in his pocket while acting busy like he didn't care what was going on around him. No one could guess

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   41 - A set up date

    MIKHAIL'S POV This morning, the air felt a bit more refreshing than usual. This was why I loved staying at the mountainside, far from the chaos in the city. It also grants me enough privacy from prying eyes. "I thought you had someone keeping an eye on her while I was gone," I asked Casper, my gaze locked on the window, watching the pedestrians as we drove by, trying to get my mind to relax a bit. The anger was yet to reside and my wolf was ignoring me now. He was angrier. "We did but our focus was on Viktor as you instructed. No one expected her aunt to sell her for her selfish reasons." Casper replied, his eyes on the road, trying his best to concentrate. He was oddly too observant today afraid of how I handling the fact my mate spent close to two weeks among sex traffickers "Viktor has been quiet lately. The ignorant girl is just unlucky." I clicked my tongue glancing away from the window. "I will increase the level of security. Do you want me to report dai
