Sold To An Alpha

Leia sat on the cold floor of the attic, caressing a bat stick in her hand with her gaze focused on the outside world. Were things going to continue this way? locked in the attic, brought out every day to receive bashes of whipping. A deep sigh escaped her lips, and she glanced at the bat in her hand.

The door to the attic slammed open, startling her out of her unfocused state. She turned her head and saw her father walking towards her with a broad smile on his face. Her eyes narrowed viciously, and she vigilantly stared at him.

Mr. Adolpho heartily chuckled when he got close to her. He squatted down to her level and reached out his hand to gently caress her hair with a warm smile on his lips. "Guess what, honey?" He continued caressing her hair while waiting for her reply.

Leia's eyes flickered and a grin formed on her lips. "Father, you know that I am not good at guessing." She raised her eyebrows and slightly shook her head. "Please satisfy my curiosity." She smiled widely, with her eyes hatefully staring at him.

Mr. Adolpho nodded his head with his brow slightly raised and a subtle breath escaped from his nose. "Alright, I won't keep you guessing then." He cleared his throat and rubbed his two hands together. "I am marrying you off to the richest man in the world." He gazed intently at Leia, and a grin formed on his lips. He doesn't want to miss any expression on her face.

Leia drew her head back in surprise and her eyes fluttered. "Oh?" A smile formed on her lips, and her eyes narrowed into a thin line. "I believe this rich man you speak of is Mr. Avanlanzo." She smirked viciously, and her hands secretly balled into fists.

"Indeed, my dear daughter, You're such a smart girl, " He reached out his hand and patted her on the head. "I told you, I don't hate you, but you don't want to believe me." A pessimistic expression formed on his face, and he let out a soft sigh as though sad.

If I hated you, I would never have chosen you to be his bride. I mean, he's the richest man in the whole world and he can give you anything you desire. " He brought Leia's forehead to his lips and left a kiss. "The marriage will be held in five days, and as your beloved father, I will order the most expensive wedding dress for you."

Leia stared at him for a while, and a wide smile formed on her lips. "Thank you, father. I am so grateful." Her eyes narrowed, and she slightly bowed her head to him.

Mr. Adolpho smiled and waved his hand at her. "No need, you're my lovely daughter after all," He patted her on the shoulder and stood up on his feet. He stared down at her and a wide grin made its way to his lips. "Take care of yourself till that day." He chuckled softly and left in large strides.

Leia's hands clenched and unclenched in fury. She dangerously stared at his disappearing silhouette, and a deep rage rippled within her. She stood up when the door slammed shut and shoved the things on the table to the ground. Her chest rose and fell in anger, and an outraged scream escaped her mouth. She punched and kicked the wall till the blood from her knuckles began to taint it.

Her face turned shades of red and her hands tightly balled into fists. She shut her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself down. She won't give him the satisfaction! She will not! "Ahhh!!" She punched the wall once again, and tiny drops of tears fell from her eyes. A soft chuckle escaped her mouth and her ashen face returned to normal. She walked to her bat stick and picked it up from the floor. Her hands gently caressed it, and she sat down on the cold floor, resuming staring out the window.

Amy sauntered into the kitchen with a cheerful smile on her face. She happily ambled to one of the maids and ordered for a meal to be prepared. She was going to take it to Leia and force her to eat something. Such a stubborn girl. Amy chuckled as she thought.

She proceeded to walk to the other side of the kitchen to patiently wait for the meal. However, she had just stepped in when her jovial face instantly turned ashen. She stomped towards the maids that were murmuring in a group and harshly grabbed one of them by the arm. "What did you just say?" Her breathing became unsteady and she viciously glared at the maids.

"Yo-young miss, please forgive us," They all bowed, and their bodies trembled nervously. Amy took a deep breath and dangerously gazed at them. "What I heard from you, is it true?" She stared at them in a questioning manner.

"Ye-yes, young miss," they answered without lifting their lowered heads.

Amy's body rapidly trembled when she heard their response. She took deep breaths to calm herself down and furiously roared, "Father!!!" She turned around and left the kitchen with her hands balled into a tight fist.

She walked upstairs, not bothering to use the elevator, and made her way to her father's office. She shoved the door open without even caring to knock, and her chest rose and fell in rage as she stared at her father, who was seated with his eyes focused on a document in his hands.

"Since when did you learn to barge into my office without knocking?" Mr. Adolpho asked, without sparing a glance at his furious daughter.

"Is it true?" Amy asked, ignoring his question.

Mr. Adolpho halted reading the documents and raised his eyes to stare at his daughter. He placed the documents on the table and interlocked his fingers.. "Yes, it is true," He leaned back on his chair and stared at Army with a half-smile on his lips.
