Sold To An Alpha

Mr. Adolpho's brow raised at Mr. Fynn's words, and he shifted his gaze to Rita. "What about my daughter?" His eyes dwindled into a thin line.

"Well, it's nothing much, just that I have fallen for your daughter, and I-"

"What do you mean by "you have fallen for her?" He cut him off before he could finish his sentence and asked in a bit of a displeased tone.

Mr. Adolpho's brow raised in irritation, and he stared at Mr. Fynn with eyes that would kill if it could.

Mr. Fynn cleared his throat and adjusted his seating. "I am sorry if I was disrespectful a moment ago, but... you can't fall in love with my daughter." He stated this with complete seriousness in his tone.

"And why is that?" Mr. Adolpho interlocked his hands, then fixed his gaze on him.

"She is engaged." Mr. Fynn blurted out and shifted his stare to Rita. "I can already guess she didn't tell you she is." His manner became threatening as he said the last sentence.

Rita's body shuddered, and she subconsciously grabbed Mr. Adolpho's hands. Mr. Adolpho's eyes fluttered and he lowered his head to glance at her shaking hand that was holding onto his. His lashes blinked in disbelief, and he turned to gaze at Mr. Fynn. 'Is she really afraid of him to this extent?' He couldn't help but ask himself. As though this situation reminded him of a particular memory, a certain image of a trembling young girl emerged in his mind, and he hurriedly shook his head.

He took a deep breath and raised his eyes to stare at Mr. Fynn. "She did tell me, and that's why I'm here. Could you please cancel the engagement?" He requested, but Mr. Fynn shook his head at him. "I'm sorry, Mr. Adolpho, but I can't." It's not like he was going to get anything from Mr. Adolpho, so why agree?

"What do you mean by you can't?" Mr. Adolpho's face darkened, and he asked with a little bit of rage evident in his tone. What sort of thing was this? He was never the type to beg, and this lowly man had the guts to reject him that way.

Mr. Fynn took a deep breath, then interlocked his hands. "Mr. Adolpho, she is already engaged to another man, and not just that, I currently have a deal with him, so breaking the engagement is a very impossible feat."

Mr. Adolpho's hands morphed into fists, and he stood up from the couch, then shoved his hand into his pocket. "I do hope that if I can get him to break off the engagement, you will allow me to have your beautiful daughter."

"Yes, yes. She will be all yours." Mr. Fynn smiled mysteriously and Mr. Adolpho nodded at him before grabbing Rita by the wrist and pulling her along with him.

"You can't leave with he-" Mr. Fynn's expression altered into one of displeasure, and he shook his head as he stared at their disappearing backs. "This seems like fun." He chuckled softly, then grabbed the newspaper from the mini table.

Adrik, who was finished with his work for that day, stood up from his office seat and adjusted his suit. He tucked a few strands of his hair behind his ear, then proceeded to leave the building.

The bodyguards that were following behind him pushed the glass door of the company open for him and he majestically walked out with his left hand shoved into his pocket and his right hand holding onto his phone.

The moment he arrived near the SUV, Alex pulled the door open for him and he stepped inside. He crossed his legs and returned his attention to his phone.

Alex took his seat in the driver's chair, then inserted the key and turned it to the ignition point. He swiftly drove out of the compound and sped off down the road.

It took a maximum of one hour and a half for him to arrive back at the mansion.

Alex parked the car, quickly got down, and hurried to pull the door open for him. Adrik stuffed his phone into his pocket, then stepped down from the car. 

"Did you get what I asked you to get?" This was his first question, and Alex nodded. He pulled out a USB from his suit pocket and handed it over to him.

Adrik received it with a satisfied expression on his face, then began to walk into the mansion. He made his way to their room and pushed the door open, then stepped in and shut it behind him.

The moment he turned around, his gaze fell on Leia, who was lying on her back on the bed. He walked towards her and leaned down, placing a soft kiss on her forehead. "Little wife." He called her name, but Leia just whined and changed her position on the bed. Adrik chuckled as he gently lifted her and laid her further into the bed.

He covered her with the bedsheet, then walked to the sofa to sit down. He grabbed his laptop and turned it on, then unlocked it. He inserted the USB and his earphones, then plugged them into his ears.

He browsed through the laptop and clicked on the first video that popped up on the screen. A low breath left his nose, and he relaxed back to watch it.

[A young woman who was Leia walked into a ward and strode to the seat near the hospital bed that her friend Shawn was seated on. 

"You came."

A low breath left Leia's nose, and she interlocked her hands, "Why wouldn't I come?" She inquired in a bit of a disappointed tone.

Shawn bit his lower lip then turned to stare at her. "Well, after what I did at the restaurant, I believe you must be really mad at me."

Leia pinched between her brows and took a deep breath. "Well, I would be lying if I said I was not. What you did back there was outrageous, but I won't blame you much anyway." She smiled at him and examined him. "How do you feel?" 

"Leia, do you not love me anymore?" He inquired, and Leia's lashes fluttered and rubbed her forehead. "Shawn, please-."

"Answer me, Leia." His voice cracked a bit, and a low breath left Leia's mouth. She bit her lower lip, then began to fiddle with her finger. "Shawn, I am sorry... but I love you only as a friend now. Yes, I was sold to him, but... things changed. I fell in love with him and realized that I could never live without him. He is like a part of me that I need to keep living with. That is how much I love him. He is me and I am him... we are one. " She took a deep breath and raised her eyes to stare at him. However, she drew back on seeing the deep scowl on his face.]
