ADELINA'S POV

Jessica wasn't the only one staring at me, Sylvie's eyes were also on me. If looks could kill I would drop dead right now. Mikhail casually glanced at Jessica for a fleeting moment and all the anger disappeared.

She bowed her head pretending to drink from her cup.

"I apologise for my behaviour." I nervously swallowed then got off my seat. It didn't help that everyone's attention was now on me. I was a bit invisible, but his single action made them realise my presence.

The waiter pulled the seat for me, then I sat down, my eyes falling on Nathan, who was directly opposite me.

"Just don't make the same mistake next time," Mikhail stated. I nodded, then averted my eyes from Nathan. My brows furrowed looking at the juice in front of me.

I was a full-grown adult who could handle her alcohol pretty well, but I was in no place to argue with my boss.

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   81 - Sitting position

    ADELINA'S POV My grip on the glass tightened. What did they know about Viktor? The other lady tried to steal a glance at me but was stunned to see I was staring at her The lady was older than Sylvie with a more dignified appeal. I guessed it was the rich wives' gossiping committee; age doesn't matter. She was initially stunned but later scoffed straight back at me as if saying "What are you going to do?" Lawrence said it was a business meeting, but he failed to mention gossiping rich bored ladies. I tried to take another sip of my drink, breaking eye contact with her while acting like I wasn't affected by her gaze. My eyes reluctantly glanced at Mikhail, he was still talking to Nathan but Jessica wasn't holding his arm anymore. Jessica looked pissed at something then stormed off towards Sylvie ' Interesting, but isn't she his date? ' I asked myself that same question. Why was I even interested in the first place? "It's rare to find girls your age avoi

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   80 - Sylvie Ashford

    ADELINA'S POV She had exotic mixed features, wavy black hair, sharp silver doe eyes that looked blue because of her blue dress and a very curvy body. "Is Perez bothering someone again?" The lady chimed with an amused look. She was faking an angry expression. Perez smiled, his hand circled her waist once she was close enough. "I wasn't bothering anyone, Ma Perle, you are the only one I like to annoy. Isn't that right, Mikhail?" He sweetly talked to his wife. "I find it hard to believe, you love pissing people off Perez. You are not a good example for children." Mrs Ashford sneered. Perez was a few years older than Mikhail, he should be at most 30 years old from his online profile, but he looked 25 years old. While his little goddess, I had no idea how old she was. I have learnt not to judge beautiful people by how they look. Mikhail, who looks 24 years old or 25 years old, was definitely older. What made people think Mikhail was not of his age was his matu

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   79- Business Dinner

    ADELINA'S POV The ride to the venue was the longest minutes of my life. It wasn't a long distance, but every second spent close to him and being intoxicated by his cologne was what I called sweet, slow torture. I never knew that I would love the way a man smelled this much. It was powerful and strong but also gentle. Intoxicating yet comforting. He smelled like danger and wild but his false gentle exterior hid it. A scent I could describe as a perfect mix of sandalwood, jasmine and lavender. A scent worth millions. The car slowly stopped in front of the building. From the outside, you know it is the place where only money speaks to you. Mikhail's eyes opened, my gaze that had been lingering on his stealing glances quickly averted. I could feel him staring at me but I dared not look back. "We have arrived. Your boyfriend should be waiting." Mikhail casually mentioned, his sarcastic tone was annoying as he taunted. I wanted to snap at him but remembered

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   78 - Steal Your Breath

    ADELINA'S POV Mishka, there was something about that silly name that felt magnetic. Why was he calling me a bear? "I think you are mistaken, Lawrence and I are not that close, even if we were, it means nothing to you." My tongue rolled off words effortlessly. Mikhail's smirk grew, he seemed amused. God, he had no idea how hard it was for me to stand by his side resisting all this tension. I could feel his presence on my skin and that evil smirk that didn't reflect his eyes was dangerous. Subtle sparks, which could be ignored, ignited on my chin, and his finger pressed my chin as he forced me to meet his gaze. "It has everything to do with me, this is my company and I don't want a mindless fight between my staff for something fleeting...." He leaned in, his lips barely brushing against my ears, but I could feel the faint sparks only his touch could give me. "Love and lust are completely different things, Mishka. Don't get them mixed up all you might be burned b

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   77 - Aren't Dating Yet

    ADELINA'S POV Maybe I panicked, I should not have excused myself immediately, but regardless, I was stuck here. I slowly sat back on my seat, my fingers nervously fidgeting. "Is there anything wrong with the air conditioning?" Mikhail asked, his blue eyes briefly glancing at me "No, I am fine," I instinctively answered, his brows furrowed with his sharp eyes seeming to read through me. "You don't look okay," he stated the obvious. I was tempted to snap back at him saying it was because of his overwhelming presence and damn his cologne. Did he always smell this good? Because he smelled like heaven, it felt like his scent wasn't just the cologne, there was something extra that was intoxicating and drawing me in. Something I didn't use to feel before There was this electric tension between us that I couldn't describe. It made me nervous to stay in his presence, yet I didn't really want to leave. "I am fine Sir, there is no need to be worried. " He nodde
