Sold To An Alpha

Everyone awoke the next day, and after they took a shower and slipped back into their clothing, they ambled to the living room and sat on the round white sofa, facing each other.

A deep breath escaped Leia's nose as she stared at Victor's laptop, situated on the white mini table in front of her.

Kiesha, who was sitting beside her, placed her hand on her shoulder, and when Leia turned to look at her, she smiled at her. 

Leia smiled back and pulled the USB out of her pocket. She plugged it into the laptop and the media within the USB popped up on her screen.

James stood up from his chair and took a seat in the space beside her. Leia opened the media and began to browse through the files.

Many profiles of different patients popped up, and patiently, she began to scroll down, her eyes darting from one profile to another.

Finally, when she was about to scroll to the end, her mother's profile came into view, and she hurriedly halted. She took a low breath and clicked on it.

Files of information appeared on the screen, and slowly, she began to go through them.

Just like before, every single piece of information she saw in the files she checked out with Victor was also present here. However, those were not what she was looking for. Right now, what she wants to find out is exactly what drugs were injected into her mother's body when she was still in the hospital.

Surely they all must be stored within her mother's profile.

A low breath left her nose, and she continued to scroll down. Her eyes began to narrow when it seemed like she was about to find what she was looking for.

DRUG INJECTION:

 -Lethal Injection-

 (Empty)

Leia's eyes fell on this, and it couldn't help but flutter vigorously. "Lethal injection? Empty? " She mumbled, and Victor, who was using his phone, immediately raised his eyes to look at her. 

"Lethal injection." He repeated and stood up from the one-man sofa to walk over and stand beside her.

He leaned down and gazed intently at the laptop. "Hold on a minute... lethal injection...." His eyes blinked furiously in disbelief as his voice trailed off, and he glanced at the screen once again.

"Is that a drug or something?" Leia's brow creased in confusion, and she stared intently at him.

Victor's jaw fell as he straightened up and turned to gaze at Leia. He parted his lips to say something, but not a single word came out.

"Victor! Say something." Leia's face puckered and she pleaded in a nervous tone.

Kiesha and James also turned to stare at Victor with anticipation in their eyes. Victor was the only one who would know, as his father is the hospital's owner.

A deep, anxious breath escaped Victor's nose, and he awkwardly lowered his eyes to stare at Leia. "Leia-" He bit his lower lip and pushed James out of the sofa, then took a seat beside Leia. "-Please do not freak out or lose your temper once you hear what I am about to tell you."

"Um... okay." Leia's eyes flickered, and she gazed at him in anticipation. Just what exactly is Victor about to tell her? Why is he hesitating? How bad could it be? These questions whirled in her mind, and she bit her lower lip while anxiously waiting for him to speak.

Victor inhaled and exhaled deeply, then took her hand and stroked it gently. "Leia... lethal injection is not a drug, but... it's um... a method of injecting one or more drugs into a person to cause rapid death, and its..." His voice trailed off when he saw Leia slowly standing up from the sofa with no emotion apparent on her face.

"Leia!" The three said it at the same time and turned to glance at each other. They could see the anxiousness within each other's eyes as they had witnessed how Leia was when she went into her raged mode, and it was absolutely not a good sight.

Leia's eyes began to twitch and her hands began to tremble. "Lethal injection." She repeated it behind a deadly chuckle, and an image of a man emerged in her mind.

"She is my wife, and I will take responsibility for every treatment she receives!!"

"Why do you suddenly care about her?!"

"Kid, she is my wife, and I'm sure you're not too dumb not to know that if my wife dies, people will talk, and I do not want that."

"You didn't care when she got sick in the first place! You allowed it to develop further, and now that it has worsened, you want to care for her! You want to care about your stupid reputation! What kind of human being are you?! "

"I will let you off today because you're sober. However, next time you speak to me like that...."

A wicked chuckle echoed in Leia's mind, and with her body trembling uncontrollably, she grabbed Victor's laptop that was on the mini table and threw it to the floor, smashing it into pieces. "Ahhh!!!! I hate you!!!! " She yelled and furiously began to stomp the laptop. "You despicable man!!! I hate you!!!! " 

Victor hurriedly rushed up to her and grabbed her by the belly, trying to stop her from doing what she was doing. "Leia, stop it!!"

"Take your fucking hands off me!" She slapped him across the face and pushed him off her. "If any of you come close to me, I will-" She hadn't finished saying her threatening words when Kiesha and James rushed up to her and pulled her into a warm hug. They tightly wrapped their arms around her and gently stroked her back. "It's okay... we are here for you."

Leia's throbbing body became motionless and her eyes fluttered slowly. Drops of tears began to fall from her eyes, and she drew away from the embrace, creating a distance between her and them. 

She glanced at the smashed laptop on the floor and Victor, and an unknown glint flashed in her eyes.

Without uttering a single word, she turned around and ran out of the apartment, not even bothering to slam it shut.

Her mind being completely crowded, she forgot to take the elevator, but instead ran down the stairs and sauntered out of the building.

She unlocked her car and pulled the door open. When she proceeded to step in, the voices of her best friend yelling her name to stop her sounded, but she ignored them and slammed the door shut.

She started the car's engine and drove out of the compound. She punched the steering wheel of the car in a rage and increased the speed of the car.. Her destination was home.
