Ryan's POV"Thank you!" I smiled at the hotel attendant that led us to our room. The lady smiled politely and left us to sort ourselves out. I pulled in our bags and set them aside, right in front of the wardrobe. I heard Anna heave a sigh as she plopped on the bed. "You tired?" I asked, even though it was obvious. She hummed in response and I walked towards the bed.  "Get some sleep then." I pulled the duvet over her. "We'll go on a walk when you wake up.""Okay, babe." She smiled slightly and I kissed her on her forehead. She shut her eyes and I headed for the couch. I had my seat and went through my phone. There was absolutely nothing I could do apart from that. Few minutes later, I became bored and sleepy. But before I could sleep off, my phone rang. I swiped across the screen to answer the call.  "Hey," Roman's voice rang through my ears."Ro

Samantha’s POV“Tick Tock …tick tock…” I clicked my tongue at intervals and tapped my fingers on the bed while I waited for a call. I glanced at my wristwatch to see what the time was. I was close to being late and the damned assistant of mine, who was supposed to be here an hour ago, was nowhere to be seen. The delay had irked the hell out of me. I mean, ought to meet the businessman who wanted me here today. The so-called assistant should have been here an hour before our departure time to brief me about the things I needed to know, yet he wasn’t here. Infuriated, I grabbed my phone. If this was how messy uncle Mark planned his things, it’d be better if I cancel all this now. “Hey,” I said the moment he answered the call. “Lia, what’s up?”“What the hell is wrong with the man you assigned to me? Was it not in your plans for him t

Samantha’s POV The lights in my room turned on and off at my control, with me staring into the space and focusing on nothing. My mind was hazy and I felt unsettled. I had shut out Uncle Mark for two days straight, and I haven’t spoken to Adrian as well. These two men attempted to reach me, but I wasn’t giving them the chance. I’d lose my resolve if I did. I didn’t want either of them to lecture me on what and what not. They’d both end up telling me I was treading a wrong and dangerous path.Basically, why have I stayed in for days?To think and reconsider my actions. That’s why! I halted my action of turning the light bulbs on and off. Dragging up my pillow, I sat up and rested my back on it. “What if I was actually treading a wrong path? Why have I chosen these unclear feelings of mine over revenge? What would happen to my path of revenge if

Samantha’s POVThe meeting with Mr Atkinson went hitch free. I had promised myself that would be the last meeting with the man, so I made sure I sealed every deal before leaving his place. The moment I entered my suite, I got ready to go back home. Dragging my travelling bag behind me, I dropped it close to the bed and packed some of my things. I threw every bit of my stuff into the box and when I was certain I left nothing behind; I zipped the bag and pulled it up. My phone’s screen lit up, so I reached out to pick it up. It was a message from David. My brows arched as I read.“I’m sorry I cannot escort you back home. I had to leave immediately, Miss. Something urgent came up, and I’ll tell you about it when you get back. My apologies!”I deleted the message and navigated through my phone to get Aaron’s contact.“Hello.” I breathed out the moment he answered, and I simultaneously sat on the bed. “I’m done packing. You can get the cab now.” “Okay, Miss.” He answered with no hesit

Samantha’s POVTears trickled down my face while I stared at Nathaniel on the hospital bed. I held his hand in mine and placed a kiss on the back of his hand as different thoughts ran through my mind. “Why would anyone try to kill him? He is not a threat to anyone. I made sure of that because I rarely give him a chance to get involved in anything. All I asked him to do is work at the hotel so why would anyone see him as a threat?”I felt a hand rest on my shoulders and I looked up to see Adrian, staring at me with worry-filled eyes. I didn’t even realize he was back. He took an excuse to do something few minutes ago.“You need to rest, Lia. Nate is out of harm’s way now and I’m here to watch over him.”“No,” I shook my head. “I’ll watch over him till he’s awake.”“But, Emilia…” I cut him off.“I want to be the first person he sees.”Letting out a sigh, he moved away to sit on a couch. I turned back my attention to Nate, who doesn’t look like he’d open his eyes soon. “Would you at le
