Alina’s Redemption unboxing
Alina's POVI hurried Vanessa inside and headed off to find Niguez. Goodness knew what he was up to now. Not that I didn't trust him, but I wouldn't want him to turn my friend's house into a circus.I was about to head into the room when I looked back at Vanessa.She stared at me, giving me a weird look, then shook her head with a small smile.“What?” I asked, cocking back my head with a frown.“Nothing,” came her default reply.Why did she look like she was desperately trying to hide a smirk?“Good,” I said, refusing to dwell on it.“If I didn't know better, I would think that you didn't want me near Trent,” she called after me.God, no... She wasn't going to bring this up.I felt grateful that Trent's car had already pulled out of the lawn and he was probably halfway back to his house by now.I looked back at her and sighed. The truth was, I didn't even know why I did that in the first place.It just came naturally, I guess... And I wasn't even going to think of the implications beh
Alina’s Redemption only Person
ALINA'S POVNiguez finally managed to unbox the gift Vanessa had given him. I was certain she had made it difficult for him to open on purpose. She was the only person I knew who strangely believed in the “work for it” concept.Which was even weirder since she took the time to carefully go against her strong principles to spoil Niguez silly.That's why she gave him a brand new pair of headphones even though he was barely four. I was certain that none of the kids around walked around with headphones hanging around their necks anyway.But apparently, Niguez knew just what they were and wasted no time in connecting them to his tablet, or rather, kicking up a fuss until I connected them to his tablet and put on his favorite songs for him to listen to.Vanessa came back after a while with a bowl of chips in one hand and a bigger bowl of popcorn in another.“So fast,” I commented as she settled down beside Niguez, so that he was between both of us.“Aw, I was kind of looking forward to the
Alina’s Redemption unread messages
ALINA'S POVI woke up... Or rather, the noise of incoming messages as they dropped into my phone woke me up the next morning.“Urgh..” I muttered slightly annoyed.Like who the hell would text someone this early in the morning?Someone who didn't bother sleeping last night obviously. And why the hell didn't I put the damn phone on silent anyway?Just my luck. Somehow I didn't even have to wait for nature to wake me up. There was already someone waiting patiently to do it.Then I reminded myself that Niguez had to go to school and I had to be awake early to get him ready.We slept over at Vanessa's so I still had to get back home and clean up a bit myself before going to work. So, maybe this was a not so bad idea to begin with.I groaned as I rolled to the side and pulled down my phone from the headrest to see who was texting me.I stiffened as a name appeared on the screen the moment I swiped open the phone.Trent —There were five unread messages from him.What happened? I thought, f
Alina’s Redemption pushed
TRENT POV Alina pushed open the door and beamed at me. I smiled back, waving at her.I would do anything to see her smiling like that every single day. And what's more, I would be the cause of that smile.My fondness for this woman was really turning into something serious. Well, maybe it was time we got serious ourselves, I thought as she opened the door and stepped aside, letting me in.“Hey tiger,” I strolled over to Niguez first and ruffled his hair.“Don't do that,” He swatted my hand away, his lips pulled up in a cute pout.“Mummy spent extra time combing it down and I stayed because she said it would make all the girls in class go 'aww!'” He completed, doing the 'aww' part complete with a dreamy expression.“See, you're ruining our handiwork,”My head snapped in Alina's direction,“You told him that?” I asked incredulously, failing to hide the smile that was forming on my face.“Well, I had to bait him with something,” she shrugged with a half grin.“Mum was just kidding,” I s
Alina’s Redemption All Depended
TRENT'S POV“Clarence,” I said in greeting the moment he picked up.“Yes, sir?” His voice replied.I imagined he was really surprised that I would be calling him this early in the morning. I didn't usually call him at all unless there was an emergency.And recently, I avoided it altogether, especially when I was at the company myself. Anyone could easily overhear us, and with the kind of respect Clarence was obliged to regard me with, anyone with brains could easily put one and two together.I imagined how it would look.The CEO disappears from the earth for months on a never-ending trip to goodness knows where, and around the same time, a young worker named Trent, whom the manager himself regards with respect, is employed.I had no doubt that the story would make the headlines, and a lot of investors would be forced to pull out, seeing that I was making a fool out of them.“Are you at the company?” came Clarence's voice. “Did you finally get whatever you were looking for and finally
Alina’s Redemption Goodnews
ALINA'S POVI quickened my pace as I walked into the company and approached the front desk, where I worked as a security personnel.I greeted a couple of my coworkers as I entered the office."Well, guess who's just been promoted!" The office door swung open as Gloria rushed in, yelling at the top of her voice, resembling someone who had won a lottery.All heads in the office turned in her direction, and I sincerely hoped she wasn't heading towards me."Yeah, baby!" She sauntered toward me with a wide grin, placing both hands on my table and leaning in."No," I thought. "She just had to come here."Great! Unwanted attention from half of my coworkers directed solely at me, thanks to Gloria's theatrics in front of my desk.Just what I needed!I inched away as far as I could while managing a polite smile. But truthfully, I wished I could sink into the chair and disappear from the room altogether."Congratulations," I said, smiling at her.I genuinely felt happy for her. This was her drea
Alina’s Redemption outside the building
TITAN'S POVIt worked.I smirked to myself. It felt good to see Alina all happy and hugging me tight, her eyes filled with tears of joy because by some miracle, the manager called her in and decided to promote her, even though she had been absent from work for nearly a week.I never could have thought that a job would give someone such a sense of purpose, and I was glad that I was able to make her even happier. She was in my company now, and it was my sole aim to tweak things in her favor at every chance I got, and again, just because I could.Clarence's words, not mine.Maybe I should consider giving him a raise for always complying, no matter what my requests were.“Listen,” I turned to a smiling Alina.We had just finished sharing a hug, and she looked up at me with that coy smile and slightly parted lips that were so distracting, it was impossible to look away.“I know the best place where we can celebrate,” I said, pulling her down the remaining stairs as we headed towards my blu
Alina’s Redemption Stem Voice
ALINA'S POV I snuck glances at Trent, watching his expression.Was he going to pick up the call?But every time, he let the phone ring until it ended by itself, and then he let the whole cycle repeat.His expression grew darker with every call.Pick up your call... I pleaded in my mind. This was way scarier. I had never seen Trent act like this. Come to think of it, he had never gotten angry in my presence. Surely he wasn't always this scary when he was in a mood, was he?Whoever it was, the person was equally persistent and unrelenting, calling again even though it was obvious that no one was going to pick up.It was like there was a silent battle between both parties, and I could literally taste the tension in the air.“Trent...” I muttered softly.I reached for his hand and linked his fingers with mine.“It's okay, pick up the call,” I said in a soothing yet stern voice.His blue eyes met mine, seeming like they were trying to find some kind of anchor.He blinked a couple of times
