REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Victoria’s POV

“How was your day ?”. Sonia asked the moment I entered the apartment.

“Terrible”. I murmured and lay down on the bed, “What happened? Is your aunt okay ?”. She asked in a worried tone.

“She is fine”. I murmured and stood up from bed. I walked to the fridge and took out a bottle of water.

“Then what’s the problem.” she asked,

I exhaled and poured the water in a cup. “There is a machine that can help bring my aunt out of a coma and permanently heal me.” I whispered and took a sip of the water.

“That’s good news.” Sonia exclaimed excitedly.

“Indeed.” I hummed,

“You don’t look happy. What’s wrong?” She demanded,Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I sighed and returned to bed. “What’s wrong.” she begged while glaring at me with curiosity.

” Machines and drugs are really expensive.” I murmured. “Expensive? How much are we talking about here?” she asked.

“Fifty thousand dollars,” I grumbled to myself. “Jesus Christ!.” she blurted out and stared at me with wild eyes.

“Where will you get such an amount of money?”she asked, worried. “I dunno.” I grumbled and lay down on the bed. “This is bad.” she murmured.

I sighed heavily while all the doctor said came buzzing in my head. “She is gradually dying as the day goes bye.” I murmured in pain.

Sonia sighed and sat beside me. “It’s okay Vicky, heaven knows you did your best. The drugs and treatment have been taking your savings, and everyone knows you have been trying your best.”she said those words while she placed her hand on my shoulder.

I shook my head and closed my eyes.

“I can’t let her die, not when I’m the cause of her lying lifeless, and here I am full of life.”I murmured in pain.

“That’s not true, you are not full of life, you are also suffering, but you don’t show it. And it wasn’t your fault, it’s an accident, anyone can have an accident.” she tried consoling me, but it wasn’t working.

I stood on my feet and wandered in the room. “What are you thinking, Vicky?” Sonia asked.

“I need to look for a way, Sonia. I can’t let my aunt die. Not when I can do something.”I grumbled. “What are you planning on doing?” Sonia asked while staring at me with concern.

I kept silent and did not say a word.

“Hope it’s not what I’m thinking,” Sonia charged with curiosity. I knew what she meant, and she might be right.

“This is bad.” she grumbled. I was about to say something when my phone started ringing. I checked the caller and saw the call was from a strange number,

“Hello .”

“Hello Vicky.”

“Sorry, who is this?” I asked,

He chuckled before speaking up.

“It’s me, Kelvin.” he muttered.

“Master Kelvin?”. I asked in shock.

“Just call me Kelvin.” he demanded in a friendly manner.

I stared at Sonia, who was staring at me with curious eyes.

“How did you get my number?”

“That’s an easy task. Where are you.”he asked,

“I’m home.” I grumbled.

“Alright, I’ll come pick you up in an hour.” he expressed those words as a command, “Why? Where are we going ?”

“Don’t worry, just dress simple and wait for me.” he said those words and ended the call.

“Who was that?” Sonia asked,

“It’s Kelvin.” I mumbled while staring at my phone.

“As in Master Kelvin ?”she asked.

“Yeah, he wants to take me out.” I murmured. ”That’s good, you should start preparing.” Sonia spoke excitedly. “Can you listen to yourself?” I murmured in annoyance.

“My aunt is dying and here you are, asking me to go out with Kelvin and do what exactly.”I spoke, annoyed.

She scoffed and rolled her eyes at me before speaking up. “You are going through a lot and I think it will be better if you go out and clear your head.” “I don’t want to.” I murmured, took off my clothes and lay on the bed.

I was about sleeping off when I remembered I hadn’t switched off my phone. Quickly, I went for my phone and turned it off.

“Vicky!” Sonia called out to me, but I ignored her and closed my eyes.

I have a lot of things going on in my head, and I can’t go out enjoying myself, pretending like all was well.

“Vicky, wake up.” I heard Sonia’s voice in my sleep,

“Leave me alone.” I murmured in annoyance. “Master Kelvin is here.”she whispered, “I don’t care, you can go out with him.” I murmured and turned to the other side of the bed.

“Vicky.” She murmured and shook my legs, I grumbled in anger and opened my eyes.

“What the fuck is your problem.” I grumbled in anger. “He has been standing outside for a while now.” She whispered.

I groaned and stood on my feet before I went to the door. I picked up my clothes and put them on.

I opened the door and saw Kelvin smartly dressed in jeans and a black T-shirt.

“Hey Vicky.” he waved his hand and smiled widely at me. “What do you want?” I asked, irritated.

He stared directly into my eyes like he was piercing through my soul and for strange reasons I couldn’t look away, it felt like I was being intoxicated by his gaze.

“What is bothering you ?”. He asked like he was so sure of it. I blinked my eyes and moved my gaze from him.

“What makes you think I’m going through trouble”? I asked.

He smiled and tried to hold my gaze, but quickly I looked away.

”It involves money.” he expressed those words not as a question. ”Who is telling you all this? Did Sonia say anything to you?” I asked angrily.

“No one did, and I can actually read through you.” he said those words confidently while I scoffed and avoided his gaze.

“Come, let me take you out.”

“Sorry, I can’t “. I murmured,

“It’s not an option”. He said those words in a rough, dominant voice that made me gulp nervously. “I’ll be waiting in my car.” He flashed me a big grin and walked away.

I closed the door and could still feel my body submitting to his words, which I find really strange.
