ADELINA’S POVI stood outside his office nervously tapping my feet on the marble floor. The documents clutched against my chest like it was what was holding me together. The corridor was quiet, save for the distant sound of the air conditioning system. I stared at the frosted glass of his door, hoping, praying, for even a glimpse of him Maybe if we were alone, he’d answer me. I needed an answer. If he was still upset because of Asher or if I did something again. I didn't want to believe he just lost interest. The pull between us wasn’t something so easy to ignore. Cecilia wasn't at her seat, but I could not go in like I normally did in the past. Her purse was still on her desk with an application still running on her desktop. She was close by and most likely in his office.The door handle clicked, my grip on the document tightened and I held my breath. The door opened, and my anticipation instantly turned to disappointment. It was Cecilia who opened it instead.Her e

ADELINA'S POV I could not believe I gathered the confidence to do this but I was tired. It was better to let go and leave before I completely broke.I almost turned back twice while walking down the hallway, but my legs kept moving like they had a mind of their own. The twelfth floor was quieter than usual. It wasn't a frequent floor; normally, going to the HR department wasn't something most people loved doing.The HR office door loomed ahead, sleek, and a sign hung above the double glass doors. "Human Resources – Genesis Corporation" etched in sterile silver. My reflection in the glass looked pale, uncertain. I sucked in a breath and pushed it open. The cold air conditioning hit me first. Typing sounds echoed in the reception, my eye drew to a young woman with square glasses and a pinched expression who barely glanced at me typing furiously on her desktop. "I would love to see Mrs Gregory," she still didn't answer and just nodded toward the far corner before turning back t

ADELINA'S POV Asher took a sick leave from school. That's what Mr Simon announced to the class, because my group was graded based on our paperwork only. My group wasn't the only one that technically had an easy way out; Kim's group also did. Petra stood in front of the class with two of her group members, including Venessa. The projector kept on changing slides while she confidently explained their ideas to the class. Her voice sounded the same as every other thing. Honestly, I have been spacing out a lot this week. Even after I was determined to forget, he keeps popping into my head at random times. Why was it so goddamn hard to hate a man? I grew up thinking the devil had horns, how wrong I was. He was devastatingly handsome and wore a tailor-made suit and tie. The devil in disguise sent to wreak havoc on my life. The air grew tense and goosebumps crawled on my skin. Something was wrong, I glanced away from my notebook where I was drawing a horribl

MIKHAIL'S POV Have you ever had this bad premonition you couldn't shake off? My wristwatch's slow ticking hands were more interesting than paying attention to what was happening at the table. Soft music played in the background; the room was the definition of opulence, decorated with expensive decor, and everything was done with attention to detail. It was not the kind of restaurant where guests couldn't just walk in; it was the type of restaurant where reservations were made months before the day. Nathan was doing his best to convince me about our failed collaboration. He agreed on my terms initially but wanted to tweak things a bit. I gave him the chance to hear him out although I don't plan on changing a thing. The only reason I was considering the collaboration was because the councils’ eyes were on me. Having a bad relationship with Nathan would make questions arise if Jessica was truly my ' human lover.' I was still investigating the failed assassin

MIKHAIL'S POV Viktor was behind it. I fucking believed it without much evidence because who else could pull something off like that? Adel's family didn't have many enemies who could do something like that. The large iron doors closed behind me. As soon as it shut Kimberly's cries were swallowed with it. I walked down the hallway until I emerged at the stairs, which led to the cellar doors, leaving the basement. Kimberly was being kept blind folded in the basement of the estate. Before bringing her here, we made sure she didn't have any tracking devices on, and even if there was a nano chip hidden on her, the basement had a lot of high-tech equipment that would jam the signal. After leaving the cellar I found myself leaving the mansion, just walking aimlessly towards the woods. My head was clouded, so many things were going on.. There was no sign of Adelina in the entire city. Not even the slightest scent. Her abductors had fled the bridge with a boat, and afte
