ALPHA DERON
“Where is the woman that says she’s going to be the face of the show? ” I asked no one but the TV before me.
I watched the program and witnessed how Brielle captivated the crowds with her body, winning the title of a Queen.
This kind of things shouldn’t concern me, since I’m a man of business and have other better things to do with my life, but since my selfish daughter claimed she was going to be on the runway as well, I decided to watch and see with my own eyes.
But what am I seeing exactly? Instead of Estelle, it’s Brielle of all people!
How? When? Where?… I should be asking all these questions when I saw her revealing her identity, taking the crown, and becoming the Universal Queen. But no, I stayed shut when I spotted Argon with my daughter’s boss, applauding Brielle from behind.
That was enough to show that Argon brought that woman to take part in the event, ignoring that my daughter models for those people.
Why won’t he? My daughter is a shameless wolf. She placed her own needs before others, creating enemies upon enemies on her own head.
“Such a disappointment. And she was talking about the show with so much zeal, acting as if the organizers kept a special seat for her. What a shame!” I swayed ny head at this failure.
Who knows what other people at the show must have said about that stupid girl?
Just then, I heard the sound of footsteps creeping through the Hall in my home. I immediately recognized the scent and got to my feet to confront this sneaky creature.
When I stepped out of the living room… “Where are you coming from?” I questioned Estelle, who had her shoes in her hands, with one foot on the first step.
She froze when she heard my voice, slowly turning her head around to look at me.
What was written on that face was nothing but shame, shock, and terror.
I hummed, repeating my question, “Where are you coming from, Estelle? Could it be that you went out to see a man and get yourself pregnant, so you can lie to Argon that the child belongs to him? ” I mocked her.
Her face came swollen in anger on hearing my words. She came off the stairs and said, pointing at me, “I didn’t go out to do such nonsense! Just because things with Argon didn’t work out, doesn’t mean your daughter has become so loose to give her body out! I only went out for something important!”
“Like what? You left since morning, at around six. This is eight in the night. What’s that important thing you went out to do? Is it going to favor me, your father? Or is it going to bring more shame? ” I questioned, glaring at her.
Estelle didn’t want to speak. She just claimed to be tired and made an attempt to head up to her room. But I wasn’t done with her. “You think I don’t know you went to that show? I know everything that occurred, Estelle!” Her eyes came popping. She gazed hard, unable to speak.
“I know what went down at the show. Your boss called, reporting and threatening to get you arrested for attacking a fellow model out of jealousy! He has officially fired you and promised to publicly humiliate you, if you ever show your face at the organization!”
“What?!” She gasped, frozen by the news.
“Yes, you heard that correctly. You are no longer a model. And isn’t this the main reason why you killed that baby? You wanted to be the star of the show! But that orphan with no talent, just climbed the stage and became the queen! You have no job and she does! Are you happy?! Have you gotten what you want?!” I yelled at Estelle, venting my anger at her.
My daughter suddenly broke down in tears, racing up the stairs. I want to feel for her, but her stubbornness has blocked that part of me from showing her any care.
“Now I’m the one who’s going to solve the problem. She can’t do anything!” I groaned, returning to the living room to see more of that woman and Argon, taking pictures together.
That’s when it hit me.
“If I want to get back in Argon’s good book, I need to show my support in his relationship with Brielle. Yes, maybe that would make an opening for me! ” I planned, grinning at my own idea.
I immediately took out my phone to call Argon’s line, but it wasn’t available. I tried five more times, and the result was the same.
“Seems he’s busy celebrating. No problem, I’ve already said tomorrow. So, I’ll pay him a visit at the company and express my delight to the news,” I concluded, dropping my phone aside.
“I know that young man would agree to me. After all, he’s still holding the documents to my throne. If he has no interest in working with me any more, he would have sent the papers back. This is a sign from the goddess, ” I viewed.
.
The following morning, I left my company with four of my workers, heading down to Argon’s location with nice gifts in our hold.
When we arrived at the entrance of his company, a security guard stopped us, asking if we have an appointment with his boss.
Since when did Argon make this rule?
“Have you forgotten the man before you? I am Alpha Deron!” I said to the security guard, who just hummed and took out his phone, calling someone from inside the company.
I assumed it was Argon he was speaking to, not until I spotted someone I least expected. “Jerome?” My heart skipped, astonished to see that idiot again.
When did he return? I remember clearly that Argon threw him out from his home and company! How is he back?!
“What seems to be the problem?” Jerome asked the guard, pretending not to recognize me.
The fellow told him everything and Jerome said, with pride all over his body, ” If you don’t have an appointment with the Alpha, then you cannot see him! ”
“What nonsense are you saying, Jerome?! I am Alpha Deron of Red wood! Go in there and tell Alpha Argon that I have come to see him, or you step aside and let me in! ” I ordered, getting frustrated.
But Jerome still stood his ground, refusing to let me in. I can see what he’s doing. The bastard is trying to get back at me for what happened. I’m going to make him regret this real soon.
As we kept on arguing outside the building, our voice attracted Argon, who came out with a guard, asking loudly, “What’s the matter here?! ”
“Argon! Oh my son, how have you been?” I asked, smiling at him so he’d notice my presence.
His eyes fell at my point, looking displeased. “What are you doing here, Deron? ” He questioned, standing next to Jerome.
I could see how Jerome smirked with pride, telling Argon my mission here, but in the wrong way. “He has come to trouble your peace by bringing his minions along. I clearly told him to leave, unless he has an appointment with you he can come in. But he has refused.”
“And you call yourself a beta, but the words that comes out of your mouth is like that of a dullard,” I fired expressing my anger.
But it only made Argon provoked, as he demanded to know what my mission was at his company. “I thought I made it clear to you that I no longer want to see your face or have anything to do with you?!”
“Argon…” I called, attempting to draw near. But his guard came forward to stop me from getting closer. How disrespectful! “Son, I know a lot of things has happened in the past, but we can’t allow it to affect our business,” I said.
“Anyways, I brought this gifts for you and your Luna. I saw the show last night and couldn’t express my joy over her success. I felt proud to see her making a name for herself.” I signalled my workers to step forward with the gift.
They moved front a bit, showing the items I bought. “This is for you and Brielle. My way of expressing my delight in your happiness,” I said, smiling at Argon.
I saw how he glanced at each gift, before asking, “Should we call this Bribery and Corruption?”
“Haha! So funny! Don’t take my gifts the wrong way, son.”
“Oh, I already did, Deron. You can’t just come over here and say these gifts are meant for Brielle and I, when I know quite well that you hate my Luna deeply, ” Argon accused.
I immediately gasped out and said, trying to win his trust, ” That was in the past, but not anymore! I’m a changed man!”
“Says the man who helped his daughter in accusing my Luna over her own actions, ” He smirked, pointing at Estelle’s devious act.
Jerome chuckled at this, adding more to what Argon had said. “I bet Estelle was the one who sent him over to deceive you, Alpha. Like father like daughter,” He mocked.
And out of anger… “THAT’S ENOUGH!” I sparked at them, slamming one of the hifts to the ground in fury. “I wasted my time coming down here to make peace with you, thinking you will use your head as an Alpha, and do what is right!”
“My head wasn’t in its place when you and your daughter where around me. But the head has found the neck at last, if you know what I mean.” He smirked, symbolizing Brielle as his neck.
This attitude of his made me annoyed. Since he wasn’t ready to listen to me, I decided to take action. “Alright then, since you think you’re better than me, how about you return the documents I gifted you, Argon! ” I demanded, extending my hand out.
His eyes came wide a bit, leaving me pleased and believing that he was going to change his mind, now that I want my papers back.
But to my surprise… “Thank goddess you reminded me of that nonsense!” He said, looking at Jerome. “Please, head to my office immediately and get those papers I pinned on the unwanted board.”
“You mean the one that has Red Wood written on it? I was going to ask why you had such papers in our pack.”
“It was never meant to be in this pack, Beta. Someone begged me to take it, ” Argon said, directing his eyes at me.
My boldness mellowed in an instant. This isn’t what I want! I don’t want Argon to return the papers to me! If he does, what excuse will I use in returning to him?
