ADELINA'S POV

Mikhail's footsteps were unhurried, his hands tucked in his pockets as he walked through the dining doors to the elevator. He wasn't in a hurry and he didn't care less about anything.

"Mikhail, please wait up," Perez begged, and Mikhail sighed. He was irritated without a doubt.

His footsteps stopped waiting for Perez to catch up. "Say what you want to, I have plans for the night."Mikhail said lazily.

Perez was crouched down trying to catch his breath. "Come on, Mikhail, we have been doing business for years, you can't just cut off because of a statement Sylvie made. You know how important Genesis is for the success of this project." Perez explained, trying to make sense to Mikhail.

Honestly, Mikhail's actions seemed a bit rash to me, but I also know he was not the type to make rash actions. If not he would not be at the Pinnacle of the business world

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   84 - Hot pursuit

    ADELINA'S POV My eyes caught sight of Lawrence, who had just stepped out of the building. Panic was written in his eyes as he watched Mikhail speed off. He wasn't scared of being pulled over by the police. Mikhail must have raced on the tracks because his drifting skills and wheel control were beyond the comprehension of a common man like me. He quickly drove past other cars, his speed increasing by the second. I wasn't scared of racing normally because my brother Lorenzo participated in a couple of illegal races. I accompanied him in the past, but it wasn't on a freaky busy road with other motorists and pedestrians. He didn't even slow down at a red light and a car almost ran into us. I almost lost my ghost because of how fast he was driving. It felt like we were bank robbers being chased by the police. Maybe he should consider being a getaway driver because he has the talent. My hand was on my chest because it felt like it would jump out any second from

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   82 - Stain on her name

    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. The dinner continued, and the waiters served several expensive dishes on the table. The table was lively with sev

  • 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
