The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress

Her cellphone rang and startled Tatiana who jumped in her place. She hurriedly picked up the call and saw that Altair had called her. Apparently, their connection was lost when Tatiana dropped her cellphone.

"He—hello ...?" Tatiana's voice sounded weak and unsure when she received the call from Altair. She felt like dreaming, and none of this was real. Could it be that she was still sleeping?

"Tatiana ... my father wants to talk to you. He knows that you recorded Vega in your videos while we were in Paris and Bordeaux. He wants to examine all of your videos to find out if the kidnappers were captured in them while they were spying on my sister," Altair said quickly. "We have sent staff to the Amarylis Hotel to pick you up. They will arrive in ten minutes. Please get ready now. Bring all the video recording equipment you used."

"Eh ... what? Ouch ... I—I, yes ... Wait a minute."

Realization finally dawned on Tatiana's mind. She hurriedly threw her cellphone to bed, washed her face, brushed her teeth, and then changed her clothes.

Ten minutes later, when she had just buttoned up her shirt, the telephone rang very loudly in her room. She quickly picked it up and heard the hotel receptionist say hello.

"Good morning, Miss Petrova. You have some guests looking for you. They are waiting in the lobby."

"Ah, alright. I'll go down soon." Tatiana hurriedly put all her cellphones, cameras, and wallet in her backpack and hurried out of the room. Her mind was still overcome by panic, but her feet had automatically walked towards the elevator and pressed the button to go down to the lobby.

"Jeez ... this is a nightmare ..." hissed the girl. "Vega .. where are you?"

***

After she got out of the elevator, Tatiana was greeted by several men in formal attire and sunglasses, and taken to a luxury car with dark tinted windows.

Tatiana felt as if she were inside a movie or adventure novel. This was really unreal.

Inwardly, she kept wondering who Vega really was and why the girl lived like an ordinary person so far. She and Altair were quite popular in school because they were very good looking and smart, but other than that, there seemed to be nothing strange or too special about them.

Tatiana remembered when Vega first introduced herself as Altair's twin sister. She shared how they lived with their father, a single dad. Tatiana never dared to ask where Vega's mother was because she was afraid of making Vega sad or offended.

Gosh .. all this time she just thought that Altair and Vega's biological mother had died.

Tatiana felt ashamed. She clutched her bag tightly as she cast her glance through the car window. She recognized the route taken because last week she had followed Altair and Vega to the Nobel Hotel.

Were these men going to take her there? Ahh .. Tatiana was very curious.

Tatiana's conjecture was correct. The car entered the Nobel Hotel's courtyard and stopped in front of the lobby. The driver came out and opened the door for the girl respectfully.

"Good morning, Miss. Your presence is expected at the penthouse. My friend will take you there," said the driver.

Penthouse? Tatiana could only swallow. In her entire life, she had never been in a penthouse. Let alone this penthouse in a five-star hotel as luxurious as this Nobel Hotel...

Gosh, if they weren't going through a crisis like now, of course, she would have persuaded Altair or Vega to let her do coverage from inside the penthouse. Her followers would be very impressed.

Tatiana kept those thoughts to herself when the elevator door opened and she was brought inside by two bodyguards who had accompanied her in the car. One of them pressed the 40th-floor button and the elevator immediately went up.

The girl was still stunned when they got out of the elevator and one of the guards knocked on the only door on that floor. A female staff opened the door and invited them in.

Tatiana slowly stepped inside and as soon as she arrived in the living room ... her body instantly froze. She did not dare to enter further. Her eyes fell on an extremely handsome and imposing man who sat on a large sofa, like it was a royal throne, beside Altair.

The man had a unique appearance. His hair was platinum with a hint of purple, and he had a pair of brilliant purple eyes. Tatiana had never met anyone with purple eyes before.

For a moment, she stood transfixed in her place.
