SHANE'S POV : "If you are finished staring at your girlfriend, can you please tell us now about what happened last night?" Omar and I, both of us asked Rudy, covering the smirks on our faces. "GIRLFRIEND?" Rudy and Emily both said in surprise, "What girlfriend?" Emily was about to sit to argue with us and Rudy helped her to sit before she hurt herself by doing so. He knows that she won't hear now if he asks her to lie down. "Isn't she your girlfriend?" We asked them again, teasing our little brother. "NO." Rudy and Emily said loudly. "Okay, okay, stop. No need to shout. We can hear your voice very clearly." Omar said, laughing along with me. "Now, tell us about what happened last night and who attacked you?" I asked Emily. "Actually, a group of guys tried to assault her, luckily I came there on time." Rudy said on behalf of Emily. "You mean to say, those guys came for her and you came afterward?" I asked him. "Yeah, that's what happened." Rudy replied. "And when I thought I k

SHANE'S POV : "What do you want to talk about, Shane?" Rudy asked trying to escape from my grip. "Who is she?" I asked him. "Who are you talking about? It's our sister, Camilla." Camilla hits his head, "Ouch, what was that for?" "Idiot. He is not talking about me. He is asking about that brown-haired girl who was with you last night." "Her name is Emily." He said protectively. "Oh, Emily." We all said, smirking and teasing him. He sure is protective of her and I can see that he is catching feelings again. But I need to know who she is before he completely falls for her because I don't want my brother to get hurt again. We can't bear to see it again if someone hurts him again. "Stop it, you guys. Nothing is going on. She is just a customer who is staying in our hotel, that's it." He said trying to avoid eye contact. He knows that we can tell if he likes someone by looking into his eyes, just like he knows when we like someone. We have this bond, which is very strong and irreplac

ALINA'S POV : "Where's everyone?" Jessica asked, looking at the empty penthouse which is extremely silent. "Never thought that I'm gonna say this, but I miss those annoying people who always like to irritate me and not this freaking silence." Jessica let out a small chuckle upon hearing my not-so-sarcastic joke. We just arrived and ever since, we didn't see anyone, not even a single word was heard. Silence, that's what it screams and I'm really telling you this, I don't like this one bit when the whole penthouse looked empty and silent. Ever since I have known them, this is the first time I'm seeing the entire hall empty. And the fact that I'm missing them, reminds me of how close I became with them. Even though they are annoying as hell, still it felt good to be with them. It reminds me of my friends in Italy, yes Enzo's team. They are also like this, even though they are a bunch of criminals and fear nothing, they always behave like teenagers who enjoy their time with friends a

ALINA'S POV : "Shane?" I muttered in my breath but Camilla heard me and looked at me, perplexed as to why I said her brother's name. "Huh?" She followed my gaze and looked behind her to see if her brother was there but the door was already closed and when she opened it again, no one was there. I know that you will think that I'm going crazy but trust me I can sense his scent, anywhere. And I saw him behind that door looking at me with those intense purple eyes just before she closed the door. For a second our gazes met each other, locking our eyes. His scent hits my nostrils hypnotizing me and making my heart flutter again. I thought he was playing games and would come inside but he didn't. Why? Why do I get all these feelings just by a small glimpse of him and just by his damn cologne? Damn you, Shane, What are you doing to me? And just like every time, his scent is still stuck in my mind. Calm down, Alina, you are overthinking. Damn all these feelings, I'm definitely going t

SHANE'S POV :After Omar left the room, I decided to go out and find Nate. But it looks like, my feet have some other plans and decided to take me somewhere else, following that one scent that has occupied my mind ever since we met.That captivating Lavender with a fresh citrusy scent is so intoxicating and hypnotizing. Before I even realised where I was going, my feet stopped halting my steps, in front of Ana's cabin and I saw Camilla going inside the cabin.And just before the door was about to close, I saw her standing there with her gorgeous smile that shows her cute dimples, as stunning as ever. Even a small glimpse of her is making my heart flutter.My eyes were glued to her and when she saw me looking at her, our gazes met, just for a second which is enough to ignite the fire inside me, and I saw how her lips moved when she said my name. Damn, it felt so good when she said my name with those rosy pink lips.And to my disappointment, the door was closed blocking her from my sigh
