DANIEL GREEN POV:
I awoke after what had been the best night's sleep in years. I couldn't believe that a random hookup with a stranger could bring me so much excitement. I got up, ready to either touch her again or continue our escapade.
However, my blood boiled when I found an empty bed beside me. I instantly got up and checked the bathroom, but she was nowhere to be seen. My eyes then fell on a tissue paper with red writing on it.
I picked it up, and a familiar scent wafted into my nostrils – hers. But as I read the note, my anger grew. How dare she treat me like a common stranger? She should have been thrilled to have been with Mr. Green, the city's most prominent figure.
"But she didn't pay you the slightest bit of attention," a mocking voice inside me taunted. No, this wasn't the time to dwell on that. I closed my eyes, trying to sense her presence nearby, but it felt as though she had never been here, or worse, she wasn't my mate. Her scent was the same as that of those who were wolf less, but I distinctly remembered feeling that she was my mate last night. How could this be possible?
An alpha could never have a wolf less mate, so why had I felt that way? I didn't care if she was my mate or not. The moment she had entered my life, she had become mine, and I would figure out the rest when I found her.
"I will find you soon, my little birdie. And when I do, I'll clip your wings and lock you in a cage, so you won't be able to run away next time," I declared, taking out my phone from my coat and lying on the ground. That's when I noticed a shiny object lying beside me. It appeared to be some kind of jewellery, perhaps a bracelet.
I smiled, imagining her soft, smooth wrist adorned with this piece of jewellery. I couldn't wait to get my hands on her again – my little troublemaker.
"Sir, we've finally found you," my secretary said, entering without even knocking, clearly oblivious to the audacity of his actions.
"Clean this area thoroughly, leaving no evidence behind. Catch those bastards who dared to drug me last night. And, last but not least, find that girl who was here last night. But remember, not a single hair on her body should be harmed," I ordered, heading to the restroom to take a shower before going to my workplace.
"Sir, we found those waiters," my PA informed me when I went down to the basement to check on my new guest for the night.
"We weren't aware of Mr. Green's influence. We were only paid to drug the drink. We are innocent. Please spare us," I heard their voices, and I sat in front of them. Watching people get tortured was one of my favourite pastimes.
"We will extract the information about the ones who ordered them, sir. Any other orders?" Parker, one of my top underworld operatives, spoke.
"Have you found her?" I inquired.
"We obtained the footage, but she kept her head down the entire time, sir. We need to review all the footage to identify the girl's face. Please forgive me for this incompetence," he replied. First, they failed to do the job, and now they were apologizing like weaklings.
"Do your incompetent people even know how to do anything correctly? Turn the whole world upside down or burn the entire city if you have to. I want that girl found before I personally kill every single one of you with my own hands," I raged. Deep down, there was an unusual sense of possessiveness. What if I couldn't find her? No, I was Daniel Green, the Mafia king, and I had never failed in my life. I would find her this time as well.
AUTHOR POV:
IN ROOM 507:
Ciara found herself momentarily stunned after Liya left the room. After some time, David returned, his towel still wrapped around his torso. Upon seeing him, she lost control and began throwing anything within her reach in a fit of anger. She didn't care what hit him; her rage was consuming her.
"Calm down, you crazy woman. What's gotten into you now?" David asked, watching her behaviour and realizing that both sisters had a fiery side.
"You're asking me what's happened? I ruined the perfect opportunity to pay off my father's debt and ended up sleeping with a complete loser who was the reason I had to be here instead of Liya in the first place," she replied, her anger palpable. David was now looking at her with confusion, but he had no intention of letting her slip away so easily, knowing that she was somehow related to Liya and could be of use to him in the future.
"What if I could make everything right for you?" he asked, smirking as she looked at him with curiosity. He took out his phone and dialled a number, speaking in his native language.
"Mr. Green of DG Corp, are you sure?" David asked, his shock evident as he quickly ended the call. He then proceeded to explain everything to Ciara, who became equally stunned.
"How dare she get so lucky after putting me in such a bad position? I will destroy that bitch," Ciara seethed with anger.
"Or you can make better use of this situation and get your money from Mr. Green if you use your mind right now," David suggested, his mind already concocting an evil plan.
"Why don't you use your so-called genius mind, then?" Ciara taunted him, still upset with him.
"Mr. Green has already slept with your sister, which means we can use this to extort him for his reputation, just like your father was supposed to do through those loan sharks. He'll even pay us double the price in return, as he is famous for his passion for business and maintaining his high reputation," David explained. Ciara remained silent, not responding to his plan, and began dressing.
"What are you doing?" David asked, puzzled by her sudden actions.
"Going to Daniel Green to ask for money or something else," Ciara replied cryptically. David realized that she was quite similar to him in her determination. After both got dressed, they left their suite and saw Mr. Green leaving the hotel with his guards who kept anyone from approaching him.
"Mr. Green! Mr. Green!" Ciara began shouting, but David quickly covered her mouth to stop her.
"Are you crazy? You'll get yourself killed if you try to approach him like this. We need to approach him professionally," David advised. Ciara stopped and looked at him, eager to hear his further plans. They may not have been able to meet Mr. Green today, but they weren't going to give up so easily.
AUTHOR’S POV:A FEW MONTHS LATER:It was a great day for the new graduates as they prepared in the morning to attend their graduation and celebrate later."Get yourself together. You can overcome anything," Liya said to herself while looking at the mirror for the last time after getting ready. She no longer felt like herself after easily catching her boyfriend cheating on her. Nevertheless, she was a brave young woman ready to face life's challenges, given everything life had thrown her way so far."Congratulations on securing the highest marks in college, Liya," one of Liya’s teachers congratulated her while she stood behind the stage. Liya nodded and smiled, not wanting to disturb anyone else with her personal problems."Liya, there you are. I've been looking for you all these days," David said, spotting her and marching towards her."Leave me alone, David, before I report you to the police for harassing me," Liya replied, feeling disgusted at the sight of him. She began to walk awa
DENIAL POV:I can never understand why people must react like this when nothing is going on to grab their attention like that out of the blue. Then why do they have to act like they never saw something like this happen? But it's quite hard to control yourself when you are someone who comes by surprise specialty someone like me. I know they are never informed of my arrival as I know only in this way, I can find out how everyone is managing their work in my absence as everyone tries to look good in front of the boss for the sake of their reputation. But this time it was nothing work-related as for the past few days only one person is surrounding all my thoughts recently. Never in my wildest dreams, I imagined myself falling for someone that fast, but the desire is something shitty and I don’t know what else I feel now if it is not pure feelings on my side. My inner beast was craving for her all day and night and even after finding out how to find her I still decided to stay calm as I do
AUTHOR'S POV:"I can't believe I'll be late on the very first day of my work," Liya muttered to herself as she rushed to get ready and prepare everything she might need today while joining. However, she was also excited at the same time."I've taken everything. Let's hope nothing like last time happens this time," Liya said, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. She was getting a little nervous, along with her excitement, and she needed to show her professional side, so she had to balance everything today.She drove her car to the company, with multiple thoughts swirling in her mind, while the traffic was getting on her nerves. She wished she could fly directly there."You can ace it. You are the best," she murmured while peeking at herself in the rearview mirror before getting out of the car.She looked up at the ginormous building, knowing that everything was going to be even more challenging. However, she was not someone to give up easily. She was ready to face all the challen
DANIEL'S POV:I never thought I would become this impatient in my life just to observe a girl. I watched her through the security cameras, even though I was the owner of this place. Why was I resorting to such tactics in the first place?"Why is she taking such a long time just to go through a single contract?" I asked myself, my impatience growing. Waiting was something I despised, no matter who made me do it.But all of my anger seemed to vanish when she signed those papers in front of her. After all, no one in their right mind would reject such a great offer, especially for someone new. But what intrigued me more was how she would handle the situation later.I had made sure not to leave a single chance for her to escape the deal, no matter how hard she tried. I knew it wasn't the most ethical thing to do, but I was not one to easily relinquish my profits."Sir, should we send her to you? She signed the contract," my subordinate asked, aware of the situation, but oblivious to my new
AUTHOR’S POV:"Why did you ask me to meet here?" She inquired, her displeasure evident as she glanced at his face, still carrying the residue of their previous incident, though there had been a hint of amusement in it at the time."Why are you acting so differently now, baby? I thought you liked me back then," he responded with a smirk, drawing on his experience in these situations. Her expressions clearly conveyed her inner thoughts regarding him, but he had no intention of letting her off easily."Don't call me baby. I have a boyfriend. And stop trying to act so clever with me; I know you very well," she retorted, growing increasingly irritated. She considered him to be nothing compared to Mr. Green, and to make matters worse, he was the ex-boyfriend of her arch-nemesis, Liya."Come on, don't be so distant, or else I won't be able to discuss everything properly with you," he said, licking his lower lip as a subtle hint that he had bigger plans this time and expected her to play alon
LIYA POV:I do not know why it all has to happen to me. At first, I thought everything was just going to be good, but no. Trouble always comes finding me so easily like it was only meant for me in the very first place. But I am not going to give up that easily so hair I was trying to put myself together in front of all these people because I was very scared from inside as I knew nothing about all this, and I was new to everything. At least everyone I got to know till now was acting quite professionally and lenient toward me.So, it was okay to think that nothing bad was going to happen to me like the first time so I decided to try everything without overthinking because I know it will not bring me anything in the end and it is better to do something even if it is a risk. Just like that, I signed the papers in front of me hoping that one day I will be able to achieve everything by working on myself as I am willing to do everything it takes."Now you will meet sir and he might ask you q
DANIEL POV:These days I feel as if I am suffering from some type of syndrome after getting to know her because all this work is not even able to get my attention properly especially when she is in the same company as I am in right now. I wonder how she would be getting along with everything as I know that his teaching techniques are worse, and she might not be able to manage everything on her own that easily. But there are a lot of challenges waiting for her in the future as the world is a much cruel place than we ever imagined it to be.But why do I have to be thinking about her all the time like this? I looked at my watch as the meeting was not even getting near to end, and I heard nothing useful from anyone till now. sometimes I wonder how they passed the recruiting criteria, or if I am the one having too high standards in work. But this is how things need to go no matter if it is good or bad. I looked at him telling him it is better to end before I lose my patience which I don’t
DENIAL POV:‘’Things are different from before. You know it too.’’ He said and I was underestimating this old man a little. He did make up his mind before coming to me and it was clearly showing from his attitude.‘’I don’t think the same,’’ I replied, no matter what is going on with me I am never going to let them know as they are only finding ways to control me. how dare they even think of doing something like this to their Alpha? Seems like I need to show them who is the one in control as they don’t seem to understand things on their own.‘’Maybe if you let it free then you will start feeling everything. You must understand others are waiting to take you down and we only want our Alpha….’’ He started speaking when I stopped him before he could finish his sentence.‘’To control the one who leads the pack,’’ I replied telling him I was well aware of their wicked schemes, and that I am nothing like my late father who got scammed into their words. I will show them the consequences of m
