EMILY'S POV :

I jerked up raising from the bed in an instant after hearing the door knock continuously which is irritating me. Ahhhh, my head. Why does it hurt so much? Clutching my head because of this freaking headache and walking towards the door, I finally decided to open it to see the person who is disturbing me.

Upon opening the door, I saw a woman standing there holding a tray in her hands. "Good morning Ms Wright. Really sorry, if I'm disturbing you. But here, take this." She handed me the tray. A coffee cup, some pills and breakfast were placed there neatly.

"But I haven't ordered anything," I said looking confused. I would have thought she might have come to the wrong room if she didn't say my Last name.

"Mr King personally told us to deliver breakfast to your room. And these are hangover pills to reduce your headache." She said pointing towards the pills. "If you need anything you can call us anytime. Good day, Ms. Wright." She said with a smile and left before I process what she just told me.

I closed the door, walked towards my bed and placed the tray on the bedside table. Why would he send me breakfast?

After brushing, I came back and looked at the tray again and that's when I noticed a small slip placed under the coffee cup. Taking the cup in one hand and the slip on another hand, I started reading while sipping the hot coffee. Yeah, it's still hot because they send it in a thermos hot coffee mug.

"Good morning, Emily. Sorry for distributing your beauty sleep but by the time you receive it, it will be almost afternoon. So, I hope I haven't disturbed you." I saw the time and yeah he is correct. It's almost noon. "Take those pills after having breakfast, it will ease your headache. Don't forget to smile Ms. Wright, because that sad face doesn't suit you. I guess, you might have questions to ask me. Meet me at the restaurant for lunch. I'll be waiting for you there. Yours, Rudy xoxo…"

I ate the breakfast he sent and took the pills as he said. After some time, my headache started reducing making me feel better.

Then I went to take bath and that's when I remembered that this dress is not what I wear last night. I tried to remember everything and then it hit me, everything played on my mind like a recap. "F*cking stupid, how could you drink so much and behave like a maniac." I scolded myself looking at my reflection in the mirror.

But the last thing I remember was clutching his collar and pulling him towards me. Damn it, Ems, what gotten into you? And what the hell did you do last night? What happened after that? Did he change my dress last night?

That thought enraged me and immediately I got ready after taking a bath and went straight to the restaurant to ask him. Yeah, I know it's too early for him to come there but I can't wait until then. I have to go and ask him what happened last night even if it is dragging him from his freaking penthouse.

RUDY'S POV :

After sending the breakfast to Emily's room, I got a call from Mom. God, please save me from her scoldings. I prayed to god and picked up the call, "Good morning, Mom."

"Well, it will be good if I hear that you are coming with a responsible date and not with some one-night stands or any random girl that you lay your eyes on, Rudy." Shit, how did she know that I'm going to take a random girl with me?

"Well, It's not my fault that you are not allowing your kids to come alone." I said which is a big mistake because I heard my dad chuckling on the other side saying, 'You shouldn't have said that.'

"Yeah, I won't do that if you stop being a man wh*re and get yourself a girlfriend. And when do you think you are going to do that?" she asked me and I don't have an answer for that. I'm searching for words to speak but ended up sighing.

"Mom, you know me well. So, please stop asking me something that I can't do." I said.

"Yes, Rudy. I know you very well and listen when I say this, you will meet the right girl at the right time. And when she comes into your life, she doesn't have to change you, instead you will change yourself for her. And I have trust in you, Rudy. And as a mom, I only wish happiness in your lives and that is why I'm asking you to bring a date with you. I'm not forcing you, I'm just hoping that you guys will find the right partner this time. Call me crazy but It's just mom instincts." She surprised me with all the things she said.

I know that she wanted us to be happy but how can a girl be that change when your friends and family can't change you?

"Let's see mom."

"I know that you are thinking about how a girl can change your life. But don't forget that a girl is the reason for your present behaviour." She said hitting my nerves and reminding me of her. "I know that I hit a nerve there, but you should know that If one girl is the reason for changing you like this then another girl can change you for good. The first one might not be the person for you but when the right girl comes into your life, you will change for good. I'm just waiting for that time to tell you that 'I told you so.'" She said confidently that made me roll my eyes at her.

"Roll your eyes again, Rudy. I dare you." Oops, I forgot that she is a dangerous assassin.

I chuckled, "Who are you talking to, mom? I didn't do anything." I asked innocently.

"Yeah, don't act innocent, Rudy. I know you too well. Don't forget that you are talking to your mom." I chuckled, she got me there.

When I was about to reply, I heard some arguments coming from the private space near the penthouse elevator. I'm just a few meters away from the elevator so I can hear their voices. I saw Alina and Jessica talking to someone, no scratch that, giving a warning to someone.

I cocked my head to see the person but couldn't because her back is facing my side, still something tells me that she is someone I know. What's going on there?

"Rudy? Are you still there?"

"Yeah, mom. Gotta go, I'll call you later."

"Okay. But don't forget what I told you." She reminded me.

"I won't. Bye, mom." I ended the call and went to check on them. But my mind tells me to stop and hear first. So I halted my steps there hearing their voices first.

ALINA'S POV :

Jessica and I just reached the building and walked towards the elevator to go to Camilla's penthouse. Enzo and others left for Italy just this morning. Even though we will miss them, we still had a great time. They are very busy and have an entire Italy to take care of.

I was talking on my phone with a client about a recent event that I have done. She is saying that she was there and was impressed by the event and wanted me to do an event for them.

She wanted to meet me personally to discuss the further details so, I have scheduled her meeting today. I will go and meet her after meeting Camilla.

Camilla said that she wanted to talk to me about the bridesmaid's dresses. So I have asked one of my friends to send some designs to show them to Camilla and others.

I was done talking and ended the call placing my phone in my Jean pocket and walking towards the elevator. Jessica is ahead of me walking faster than me, I guess she is eager to meet Nate. I chuckled at her anxiety. She said that she doesn't want to talk to him but regretted the decision later.

She couldn't even wait for a minute but she can't back out now. So, she is still playing the hard-to-get part. "Ouch." Ah oh, Jessica's anxiety made her bump into someone.

I thought I was the one who always bumps into people. I chuckled but went towards them to help the girl pick up the papers on the floor. Because of Jessica, that girl lost her balance and the file in her hand fell on the floor.

"Sorry, I didn't see you there. Really sorry." Jessica apologized while picking up the papers along with her.

"It's Okay. It's not completely your fault." That girl replied calmly and picked up the papers.

"There." I handed the papers which I picked up from the floor to her.

She smiled taking the papers from my hand. For a second, I thought that I had seen her somewhere. I looked at her in confusion and she gave me the same look blinking her eyes in confusion.

"Once again, I'm really sorry. I was just in a hurry that's why." Jessica's voice made us get back to the situation. She smiled again, that smile, why does it seem so familiar?

"Thank you for helping me pick up the papers." Wow, she is saying thank you instead of being angry.

"Do I know you?" I asked her all of a sudden which makes Jessica look at me raising her brows. "I mean, have we met before?"

That girl looked confused but her expression says that she has the same question as me. "Actually, I was going to ask the sam-…"

"What are you doing here, b*tch?" She couldn't even complete her sentence because of a sudden interruption. But that person who interrupted us made me angry because of her words.

I turned to see the person who said that. She has the same skin tone as us but her face is completely caked up with make-up all over her face. Too much make-up for my liking, it will hurt my eyes to even look at her face.

Her fake eyelashes don't even suit her, why does she wear this much makeup? She might look good with a neat and simple look. But her composure and attitude made it obvious that she is nothing but a trouble. Her aura is too negative which makes me cringe.

She walked towards us and stopped in front of the girl, "You b*tch, what are you doing here?" she asked that girl with so much hatred.

It made my blood boil, what does that cute girl even do to her to make this woman call her like that? Poor girl, she looked uncomfortable in front of her gaze.

"I- I came here t-…"

"Shut the f*ck up. Your voice is making me cringe, I don't even want to see your face, let alone hear your voice." She said making the girl flinch her eyes because of fear.

I couldn't stand there watching all the shit. She is making her uncomfortable raising her voice and calling her names. I don't know why but I can't see that girl being scared like this. Maybe, I saw my little sister, Sarina in her place. So I stood in front of her blocking the other woman.

"Look Ms fake eyelashes, I don't know what made you talk to her like that. But remember one thing, don't ever call her that again. You are making her uncomfortable with your words." I said calmly controlling my anger not to make a scene.

"Who are you to tell me what to do?" she asked me, raising her brows.

"I'm her sister," I said placing one of my hands around the girl's shoulder which makes her look at me in confusion blinking her eyes. I don't even know why I said that, it just popped up in my mind and just did.

That woman looked at me and the girl for 2 seconds and then frowned. "Another b*tch." She muttered under her breath but loud enough to be heard. My fist balled up automatically itching to punch her face.

"What did you just say?" I removed the hand from the girl's shoulder stepping forward towards that woman angrily.

She scoffed, "Do you want me to repeat that? Fine by me, b-…"

"Finish that word, I dare you. But I can't promise you that you will have your teeth to say that again." I warned her while taking one step forward again which makes her take a step back in fear.

"A-are you threatening me?" she asked me while composing herself and standing properly.

I chuckled, "You can take that as whatever you want but mind your words when you are speaking to others."

"How dare you threaten me?" she said raising her hand to slap me but I caught her hand in the air twisting a little making her wince in pain. "Stop, you are hurting me." She screamed in pain.

I loosened my grip and swatted her hand back. She clutched her hand wincing in pain. "Look, I warned you once. But I guess your stupid brain doesn't get that." I said tapping her head and she looked at me furiously. "Don't ever raise your voice at me but you dared to raise your hand. You are lucky that I'm not in the mood to break some bones. Otherwise, you would have already lost your hand by now."

"You are a psycho." She said gritting her teeth.

I chuckled, "What did I just say about minding your words? Control your mouth otherwise you'll have to say goodbye to your teeth." She was taken aback, taking a step back. "Now listen carefully, next time you are talking to someone, give some respect to them. And listen to them when they are talking before interrupting them. I'm leaving you this time, but if I saw you calling names and hurting someone again…" I took a step forward going close to her face. She looks so small, I had to bend down a little to match her height. "…trust me, you don't want to know what I'll do."

I gave her a warning and walked back towards the girl. She looked so confused about what I just did. "That's my best friend." Jessica gave me a hi-fi and laughed.

"Do you know who I am?" That woman again. Whoever she is, do I look like I care? I turned to face her in irritation and was about to speak but…

"Yeah, a f*cking bitch." I tilted my head a little to see the speaker of that voice and my brows narrowed in confusion after seeing him behind her.
