Sold To An Alpha

"Um, good to see you too." James cleared his throat and averted his gaze to return his attention to his phone. Well, that was quite a welcome.

Shawn ignored him and turned to stare at Victor, who was still busy on the laptop on his lap.

Victor's eyes twitched when he felt the intent gaze on him, and he couldn't help but raise his head to glance at Shawn. "Hey, so sorry I didn't say hi. This website is giving me a tough ti-"

"Why?" Shawn cut him off before he could finish his sentence, and confused, he raised his head to stare at Shawn.

"Huh? What do you mean? " He asked, deep confusion evident in his tone.

"Why didn't you tell me that Leia was married when I came to talk to you a few days back?" He asked with displeasure and pain, clearly visible in his voice.

Kiesha and Jame's eyes flickered, and they turned to glance at each other. "I thought he knew." James lip-synced at her, and she lip-synced back at him. "I thought the same too." 

Their faces became awkward and they turned their heads to gaze at both Shawn and Victor.

A deep breath escaped Victor's nose, and he carefully dropped his laptop on the table, then stood up from the chair to stand in front of Shawn. "Look, I am sorry that I didn't let you know, but it was not my place nor was it my right to do so. It's Leia who should let you know. I mean, I could have caused a big mess if I had told you." He shrugged and stepped back to sit on the one-man sofa. "I can see that you guys have settled things." He glanced at Shawn then picked up his laptop from the table.

Shawn's brow creased deeply, and he fixed his gaze on Victor. "What do you mean by "settle"?" He asked, with displeasure in his tone.

Victor's eyes blinked in skepticism, and he arched his brow at him. "Are you joking with me?" 

"Do you think I have the time to joke with you?" His face darkened and his hands, which were inside his pockets, clenched.

"Hold on a minute." Victor dropped the laptop back on the table and stood up to face Shawn. "You're trying to tell me that you have yet to see Leia." 

"If I had seen her, do you think I would be here?" Shawn's eyes narrowed in fury.

"So you are trying to tell me that you didn't meet Leia downstairs while coming up here." Victor inquired, utter disbelief apparent in his tone.

Shawn's eyes fluttered in confusion, and he turned to glance at James and Kiesha, who were also gazing at him with skeptical expressions on their faces. "Wh-what are you talking about?" He asked, clearly showing he had no idea what Victor was saying.

"Tell me you're joking!" Victor shook his head in shock and took deep breaths. Then he cupped his hands together and turned to stare at him. "Leia was here minutes ago and she left the minute you stepped through that gate, so I am hundred percent sure that you guys must have bumped into each other." 

Shawn's eyes flickered in dumbstruck and before Victor could utter another word, he dashed out of the apartment and rushed down using the stairs, then hurriedly ran out of the building.

He ran towards the gate and out to the road, but when he glanced around, he couldn't find Leia or the SUV, and that alone already told him that Leia was the one in the SUV that he had passed behind when he was making his way towards the building.

"Fuck!!! Fuck!!!! " He yelled in anger and breathed heavily, with his eyes still fixed on the road.

Hurried footsteps resounded, and he turned around to see Victor, James, and Kiesha halted with their gazes on him.

Fury burned strongly within him and he walked towards Victor, grabbing him by the collar of his white shirt. "How could you?! How could you not tell me she was married and allow me to go to the Adolpho mansion?! Just how could you?!" Deep hatred simmered in his eyes, and Victor grabbed him by the wrist to release himself from his grip. "Take your hands off me!" 

"I thought we were all friends, but you..." He let go of Victor, pushing him back in the process. "You all fucked me up!! Leia fucked me up! She fucked up my feelings and threw me in the trash like I was nothing!!"

"What do you mean? Leia never did any of that!" Victor adjusted his clothing and stuffed his hands into his pockets.

"Really?" Mocking laughter escaped from Shawn's mouth, and he shook his head at the travesty of himself. "What was I even thinking? That after a whole four years, she would wait for me as she promised. " He laughed bitterly and shoved his hands into his pockets.

"I thought she was different and that she would never hurt me, but it turns out I was a fool. She turned out to be the type who would run to rich men and cling to them. She fucking threw my feelings into the trash for that over-rich dandy. She forgot about our moments, the promises we made to each other, she forgot about it all, just to be with that scarred rich dick!!" His body trembled in anger, and his breathing became unsteady.

Keisha, James, and Victor's eyes fluttered in confusion, and they turned to glance at each other. 

Kiesha's face darkened, and with her arms akimbo, she walked towards Shawn and turned him around, having him look at her. "Mr.. man, what the fuck are you spewing about? Why the hell are you talking about Leia like that? And what do you mean by that she threw your feelings away?" The ashen expression on her face deepened, and she stared at Shawn, demanding an answer from him. Who the hell does he think he is?
