21 - Trouble in the store

ADELINA'S POV "I am ready to try my best." My voice was firm, determination shining in them. "Let's see how it goes then Lina." **** As agreed, Vivianna got me involved in the store; it was co-management since I was still a student. According to the will, I was to inherit after I was done with school, she says. Handling the store was not as easy as I imagined it to be; the damage caused by the media was way worse than I imagined, and our sales kept on falling. At this rate, it was obvious we might get into debt or bankruptcy if we were not already in debt. The light-clicking sounds of cutleries echoed; I was having breakfast with Vivianna. There weren't any servants around, and I don't think we might be getting any soon if our financial issues persist. So far, we have been minimal, and Vivianna has been supporting the best she could. It was nice I had at least one family still around. We took turns doing some of the chores but this system won't la

22 - Jessica again!

ADELINA'S POV This was just perfect, a bitter witch out to find trouble. "I heard you are unsatisfied with our services." I buried my grievance and tried to handle the situation with a level head. Jessica, who dressed in expensive brands as always, it wasn't surprising she normally patronised this shop since she was a Slade. She was wearing a purple dress I recognized from a popular fashion line even her purse and shoes were limited edition. She had the money and unfortunately, the customer is always right. "Yes, I do have an issue with my purchase. I bought some clothes a few days ago only to discover they were all fake brands. I came demanding a refund, but the store refused my demands. I am not leaving here until I get my money, or the entire city would know how you sell fake goods, which isn't surprising.." her words were taunting. It felt like Jessica just wanted to cause trouble. She has a lot of free time to be jobless. For whatever reason she had a personal ve

23 - Fishy business

ADELINA'S POV What was Vivianna trying to do? I didn't understand her intentions because it wasn't necessary for her to take the money without informing me. She naturally had shares in the store too. Was this associated with the call? Why did she bother letting me come to the store, knowing it was an empty shell that was probably going to liquidate soon if we didn't sell it off? I knew we were facing financial issues but the accounts should not be empty. From my calculations, the store should be able to stand for a while at the current rate. "Why wasn't I Informed?" I questioned the accountant. "Miss Marino was the one in charge and it was uncertain if you were going to join the group. I was following instructions." I drew in a deep breath to calm myself down before I lost my shit. "That isn't an excuse." My voice drew and he went silent. "You know what, just leave. I will contact Vivianna directly." As soon as the accountant was free to go, the poor sou

24 - Most Unpleasant Dinner

ADELINA'S POV "We are running late, Miss." The chauffeur reminded me. The gentle reminder pulled my head from whatever haze it was trapped in. "Sorry about that." I immediately apologised and then got into the car. Giving the store a last glance before the door was slammed shut. The driver got in and we started to leave. The car rolled off smoothly on the road. I tried to push back all my thoughts and focus on the view from my window. The sun has already started setting, and seconds from now, the orange sky will be pitch black mixed with stars. Maybe I was overthinking things, a sharp breath left through my lips. My phone vibrated, and I glanced over to confirm it was an official email from the school. The semester was about to commence. Would it be a bad thing if I listened to Mum's plea and focused on school? Viktor wasn't going anywhere, and I still had a lot to learn before my revenge was going to be actualised, but It was not that easy.

25 - Be A Good Girl

ADELINA'S POV My head was spinning, my ears ringing. The light was flashing before my face. My consciousness could barely hold with voices speaking in the background, one I was too familiar with. "I can't believe you really had it in you, Vivianna." A masculine voice spoke, one I recognized. It was the man who harassed me. "What has to be done needs to be done." My aunt chimed. My body was weak and exhausted. I could barely see Vivianna, who was seated in the passenger's seat in front with the man while I was tied in the back seat. What was happening? "You are truly heartless. I thought in the Mafia, family was everything," The man chuckled, followed by Vivianna's giggle. "True, it hurts doing this." She said but there was no regret in her tone. "She was too nosy. As long as she is there, she will always be a thorn. Only one person can be Dona, and besides, it is her responsibility to pay for her father's debts." Vivianna chimed. "That's really heartless,"

26 - Won't Give Up

ADELINA'S POV It took a while before I could wrap my head around the fact Vivianna sold me to cover up Dad's debt which I could not understand why. Not because of how she could do such a thing but why it was necessary. Dad might have faced a challenge or two financially, but the Marino family was not broke. We had a couple of holdings in offshore accounts. What happened to those? I guess I might never know unless I was leaving this dumpster which didn't seem possible anytime soon. Why was this happening now of all times? Just when I was in my finals and about to round up school, all my effort just had to be thrown away. "Someone looks pretty tonight," Chelsea chimed from behind me. My hand that was laying lipstick over my lips froze. I was in the dressing room getting prepared for tonight. It was a big night because finally after being tormented in the name of being trained Chelsea decided I was good enough to serve those slimy bastards Chelsea was the true b

27 - In this together

ADELINA'S POV Jacintha was more than furious, her face twisted into a scowl. The minister was displeased but said nothing against Jacintha's actions. He focused on cleaning up the stain on his shirt. No matter how I tried, I wasn't brave enough for this. The room went silent. Even the music paused. Everyone was staring at me. I stared blankly at her. I tried my very best not to return the slap, but my body moved on its own. I slapped Jacintha back, and she fell on the minister. A round of gasps rang in the room. Jacintha was stunned. I had the guts to slap her, but I was more stunned than her. I was foolish enough to return the slap. Her face twisted, anger shining in her eyes."You will pay for that." She barked at me, ready to pounce on me any second. Someone quickly intervened, grabbing my hand. I was pulled out of the room, and as soon as the door was shut, I was met with another harsh slap. "What did I tell you about not causing any trouble?" Chelsea barked at

28 - Blue eyes

ADELINA'S POV Becky and the girls were not lying about making my life hell. Maybe bullying me made them feel better and less insignificant. It was always the pettiest lies. It felt like Chelsea knew they were lying but went along with them. She probably felt I needed more discipline. It's been just a week since I have been here, but it felt like forever. The semester had already resumed, but why did I care about school? I wasn't leaving here anytime soon Chelsea made sure to drill this into my head. Chelsea finally decided I was ready to serve again. This time it wasn't a private room but the VIP area of the club. Grand Ale's Night Club was one of the biggest clubs in the city, popular for its aesthetic, drink and music. It was exclusive, and every weekend, a popular musician performed. Not just anyone could enter. Aside from that, it was also known for having one of the best strippers, waiters and escorts. The prettiest girls were ready to serve as long as

29 - Having Fun

MIKHAIL'S POV My head was resting against the headrest with my eyes closed, trying to relax them for a while. It has been chaotic these last few days, it was expected. Being in my position was never something I expected to be easy. "We will be landing soon," I heard Casper inform me, mind-linked, making my eyes slowly flutter open. Great just when I thought I could rest a bit. Sensing I was up, he approached me with a table, which he passed on to me to go through the open tab. "You have an appointment as soon as we touch. My current guess is that they should be waiting for you." He explained; my eyes were on the screen, scrolling slowly, trying to absorb whatever I could. It was a big manufacturing company one that have been in the steel industry for generations. The deal was beneficial but I wasn't the type to readily accept someone's offer when I was currently monopolizing a majority of mines, the natural resources they wanted. I didn't spend my time obtaining all t

30 - Arrogant CEO

ADELINA'S POV My throat went dry once our gaze met. I didn't know why but a strong sense of shame washed over me. Why did he have to see me in this state? A sad smile crossed my lips and I forced myself to avert my gaze. There was this cold thick air around him. Jessica's words are crossing my mind about how he belonged to a different world, a fallen heiress could not be in. Why did it hurt thinking about it? He meant nothing and he was just someone I had crossed part with. Regardless there was no way anything could work out between us. He was one of the richest men in the world and I was a fucking escort and sex slave. My existence must disgust him. My eyes stung, a slight tear running down, but I quickly wiped it off. Why did I always cry about the smallest things? The boss's hands finally left me. Still, my skin was crawling in disgust. "Mr Romanov, glad you finally arrived. I feared you weren't coming." He chimed, giving his hand to Mikhail for a handshake. I
