Sold To An Alpha

Mr. Adolpho had the driver start the car and, slowly, they drove out of the compound and onto the road.

Rita took a low breath and turned her head to gaze out at the dark sky, which had few to no stars in it. 

"You're safe now, alright," Mr. Adolph said with a smile on his lips, and she nodded at him. "Thank you." She smiled charmingly at him, then returned her attention to the sky.

A low breath left Leia's nose, and she stuffed her hand into her pocket to grab her phone. She had set it on silent mode to avoid any mishap.

She turned it on, and the moment her eyes fell on the screen, she almost dropped the phone. 'Thirty-five missed calls!!!!' She couldn't help but scream internally. Adrik called her thirty-five times! Fuck!!

Alex, who noticed the disturbed look on her face, parted his lips to ask what was wrong, but she abruptly grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him towards the car. "We need to get home now, else... both of us will be dead meat."

His eyes fluttered in confusion, and he proceeded to get into the car, but as though he felt the one presence, he knew very well, he halted, then glanced around. "Um, Mrs. Leia, could you go home by yourself? I have something important I need to deal with."

Leia raised her head to gaze at him, and her brows furrowed deeply. "Something like what?" She inquired, with a questioning expression on her face.

Alex blinked and abruptly cleared his throat. "Well... it's a personal reason, so forgive me, but I really can't say." He smiled apologetically at her, and she nodded at him before stepping into the car. She turned the key to the ignition point, swiftly reversed, and drove out of the compound.

Alex stared at the disappearing back of the car, and without any more hesitation, he began to make his way off the compound and walk down the road. Deep inside, he could feel that voice calling him. Knowing that no one was watching him, he took off at an extraordinary speed, rushing towards an unknown destination.

Leia's hands tapped on the steering wheel as she saw the mansion come into view. She slowed down the car and swiftly drove into the compound after the bodyguards pulled the gate open for her.

She parked it in the parking lot, then stepped down, shut the door, and locked it. She stuffed her hands into her pocket and began to make her way into the mansion.

The moment she stepped into the living room, the first person her eyes fell on was Adrik, who was seated with his legs crossed and a displeased look on his face as he stared at the screen of his phone. He was currently clad in a white robe and his hair was let down, scattering on the couch where he was seated.

Leia's expression became awkward, and she slowly walked towards him with a smile on her face. The moment she was about to get near him, he abruptly raised his hands, telling her to stop right there.

Leia halted on her step and awkwardly gazed at him.

Adrik turned his phone off and dropped it on the mini table, then turned his head to stare at her, his green eyes wielding complete displeasure.

"I am so-"

"You know how angry this will make me, right?" He raised his brow at her and she lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eyes.

"Not only did you stay out late, you even ignored my calls for thirty-five fucking times." His tone had become a little harsher, and Leia raised her head to look at him. "I didn't igno-"

"I'm talking to you, lady! You're in the wrong here, so keep quiet! " His green eyes glared at her, and her lashes fluttered as she drew her head back in shock. 'Is he really angry?' Her eye couldn't help but twitch as she questioned herself.

She bit her lower lips and lifted her gazes to stare at him.

Adrik helplessly pinched between his brows and, without bothering to say anything else, he grabbed his phone from the table and turned around to proceed towards their room.

A low sigh left Leia's lips, and she hurried after him. She stepped into the room and shut the door, then parted her lips to say something. However, the abrupt rise of the hand from Adrik had her swallow her words.

As though he had just recalled something, Adrik slowly turned around and scrutinized her from head to toe. "Hold on... is that my clothes?" He raised his orifices to stare at her in a questioning manner, and Leia slowly nodded her head.

"Why... are you wearing my polo and my favorite jacket?" He asked, with a bewildered look on his face.

Leia cleared her throat and smiled, revealing her thirty-two teeth to him. "You see, I had to look like a man for my plan to work, so..."

Adrik slightly nodded and walked toward her, then pulled off the cap of the hoodie that was covering her head. The instant his eyes fell on her hair, his jaw couldn't help but fall. "What have you done?" 

"Um, doesn't it look good?" She inquired, with an expectant smile on her face.

Adrik's expression altered to one of amusement, and his eyes couldn't help but examine her from head to toe again. "Firstly, you look like a chicken in my clothes. I am bigger than you. What made you think you would look good in my clothes?" He pinched his brow as a low laugh escaped his mouth, then he raised his eyes to stare at her darkened face.

"Your hair... hmm... I used to love how short it was, but now that it's too short, I can't help but think you're a man." He shrugged, and before he could anticipate what would happen next, a violent kick from Leia landed in his stomach, causing an ouch to exit his mouth. "What's that for?!"

"Fuck you! Fuck your dumb mouth! And fuck your damn, nonsense, big clothes." Her face boiled red in anger, and she stormed towards the closet, pushing him in the process.

Adrik gaped at her and raised his brows when she slammed the door to the dressing room shut, creating a loud noise.

"So she can be mean to me and I can't.." He rolled his eyes and turned around, then walked to sit down on the sofa.
