ADELINA'S POV

I stood by the window watching Asher. He eventually left a few minutes later when Petra got home, and they spoke for a while.

The door clicked open as she stepped in. Her eyes fell on me, who had been watching all along. "Did something happen between you and Asher?" She asked.

I saw no need to hide things from Petra, so I gave her a summarised version. "Kimberly is blackmailing me. I should keep my distance." I stated then marched up the stairs.

*****

My mind was spacey and I could not concentrate much on the class. Mr Simon was next to the board giving his lecture when my phone vibrated with a WhatsApp text notification.

It was Petra who was seated next to me. She had a goofy smile on her face. My eyes narrowed at her as I picked up my phone to check the text.

Petra: Have you heard what happened to Thomas?

I was confused, Thomas was the scumbag that harassed me the night I was drunk.

Adel: Haven't heard a thing.

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   90 - A call from her husband

    ADELINA'S POV The cells slammed shut, the keys jingling as Officer Damien locked them. "Try and get comfortable." He sneered. His footsteps faded as he left. It was official that he didn't like me. My existence probably disgusts him, a fallen Mafia heiress. The daughter of killers. "I wasn't expecting to get a pretty face here." An annoying voice chirped, drawing my attention. Great, I had cellmates in this cramped place. There were two, a huge girl who looked like a transgender or crossdresser or probably something. Well, she was a biological female since the country only recognises biological sex. The other looked like someone who robs local stores for fun. They looked nothing short of dangerous criminals, and a girl like me looked like an easy prey. The huge one approached me, trying to grab my hand, but I evaded her. My eyes went icy cold. They would have to try better to scare me, I grew up among people who would not blink to end someone's life if needed

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   89 - Who to call

    ADELINA'S POV Kimberly could not possibly be working with Viktor. Is it highly unlikely or was Flynn up to something? Had he always had these pictures but never used them until now? Marino Omerta was dead and there was no one to save the standing heiress. "What do you have to say now?" He asked me with a greasy smile, thinking he had me in a corner. It wasn't a lie because, in the right hands, it was enough to corner me, but it wasn't completely hopeless. There were times when I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Moments with my father were like being at a port when an illegal shipment arrived or at a desolate warehouse where a crime was committed. There were times Father was showing me snippets of our world. His words were, "This isn't a place for a sweet girl like you." Things that could incriminate me as an accessory or accomplice to the crime even when I didn't partake in it. "I have nothing to say until I have a lawyer." My resolve was

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   88- Arrested

    ADELINA'S POV The entire ride to the police station they didn't say a thing about why I was being arrested. My things were confiscated making it impossible to contact anyone.At least I would have loved to inform Petra about the development of things. There wasn't much she could do as an outsider and foreigner but she was the only one I could rely on.I kept on wondering if this was Kimberly's doing because it was very possible since her father was the Senate president who was like a prime minister.If Kimberly wanted to lock me up for good, she could do so due to my lack of protection from my family. I might not have been proud of the darkness or blood that covered the Marino family name and legacy, but it was what protected me.The car stopped, and the first thing I noticed was the West Lake police station. I hope I didn't forget it later. "It's time to get out." One of the officers said before opening the door and dragging me out."What am I being arrested for?""You will find out

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   86 - Same look

    ADELINA'S POV The night was calm, and the sounds of moving cars from a distance echoed. I took a bite of the shawarma, the flavours instantly melting in my mouth. Mikhail was still beside me smoking, I hated the smell of cigarettes, but dared not complain, knowing he wouldn't stop. I tried to enjoy the shawarma regardless. It was pretty nice when hit by that cool coke that slid down my throat. It was wonderful. It felt like the best shawarma I had gotten in a long while. "Do you like looking at stars?" I asked him, it was a silly question to ask your boss, but Mikhail wasn't acting like my boss. He was always nonchalant and never really gave a fuck. His eyes were on the night sky, which had a lot of twinkling stars. He took a puff, the smoke danced around his face and then disappeared. I wonder between the stars and their mysterious appeal, which was more eye-catching. How could a man look this good? Thanks to his looks he had a horrible attitude. My

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   85- Most annoying person I know

    ADELINA'S POV. The air felt heavy in my lungs; my eyes could not avert from those blue orbs that had me spellbound. His gaze was clear like pearls, and the clicking sounds of the seat belt echoed as it was clicked open. "What are you doing, Mikhail?" I asked, and my voice came out shaky. He didn't answer me, but his gaze didn't flatter either. My breath hitched when his hand touched my skin, the sparks spreading like a wild virus that weakened my legs. Both of his hands slipped under my skirts, and he didn't do anything, but the feeling of his hands on my bare skin was driving me insane. I bit my lips scared a moan would escape my lips. I could not succumb to his touch or let myself melt so easily. His hands grabbed my waist, and the next thing I knew, I was seated on his lap. His face was so close, so tempting. My heart went out of control without an invitation and my cheeks were the brightest red ever. He smirked at me, that evil smile had me completely u
