I was safe to say after the whole incident, I had run out as fast as could Papa didn't do anything to stop me either. They were probably surprised at my impromptu action. I was surprised, too. Most of the people were staring at us. They were whispering about how a woman had lost her mind-they were probably even whispering because he was already married. What if he was someone's husband? I was literally crawling into my own. grave now.

couldn't forget the intensity of his stare. It was mesmerizing to say the least. The man possessed beautiful brown eyes. Some might say brown eyes were boring but last night, it was nowhere near boring. His eyes were light and dark at the same time, somehow it got darker after he kept looking down at my lips. Was he tempted for more?

Why would he? I was a nobody.

Except for the fact that my father was the Pakhan, I barely had any reputation. I wasn't one of the socialites. I had kept my life as normal as I could, trying to stay away from being known. I enjoyed my life at the hospital, and I didn't mind spending hours at work because I

"What the hell do you want, Alexei?!" I replied, completely annoyed by his presence.

I needed space. A A whole lot of them.

"I want to talk to you.

"Leave me the***k alone!"

"Let me in. I'll explain everything!" I could imagine his frustration, but I didn't care anymore. He could lose his head to Papal or lose his life, for all 1 cared.

My phone kept ringing and the banging wasn't stopping anytime soon. He wasn't going to give up and I wasn't going to blame him either. We were raised to get whatever we wanted. So, it came with the package of being stubborn. I guess it kind of backhanded back to our parents. They raised persistent children.
