Contracted to the wrong Alpha
Chapter 32
Lilia’s Pov.
He walked out on me without saying a word and that same moment I saw Lex walked in, grinning mischievously as if he was already aware of what happened and felt like he won a trophy.
My heart twisted in pain, my tongue burned in fury to lash out every penny of emotions that’s piling from the depths of my heart. I wanted to go back into that room with him and drag him out to tell and shout him.
Nothing hurts more than his assumptions that I almost slept with his brother and was also dragging his beta down in between my thighs.
Hot tears rushed down and my teeth clattered in fury. Why are people so quick to judge when it has to do with me? My Pack castigated me because they thought I had willingly lost my dignity when I was there in pain and darkness, writhing and yelling for anyone to come to my rescue.
Right now, I’m seen as a public slut which isn’t supposed to hurt.
I mean, I’m already used to harsh names practically all my life, but this one hurt me to the last core of my soul.
I don’t even have a say with my own company that was sold!
Why then did I succumb to this goddamn Marriage if my most precious place is being taken away from me.
Raven left without saying a word and I felt so bitter, his only crime was to save me but he was going to get punished for doing that. Felix still lingered around the house and I saw things and pictured the world as a place where monsters dwell.
Lex didn’t make an attempt to come out any more and it killed me because I was dying to know the state of my company. I just want my fashion house back and anything else can go to hell.
For a moment, I thought he was just here to pick something and leave but then, it striked me that Lex has no intentions of leaving this mansion which made things worse.
He would go out to work looking like some sinful runway fashion model and come back at night, going straight to his room without giving a care in the world.
The days went on like that, I tried reaching my dad to talk to him about my fashion house but he wasn’t reachable.
I even spoke to Jax who said he would be in the city soon. Melody’s birthday was next week and she literally begged me to try and be there even when she knew it’s against the rules, especially when staying with a monster.
Lex had bought my fashion house according to my father when I finally asked him and I yelled in fury because he gave him the consent to do so.
I understand that he was the sole foundation of the place but don’t I deserve respect? My opinion matters too in times like this!
But it’s all useless now, I can’t do anything until Lex does something and I knew he had his motives for doing that.
Felix avoided the mansion for days and it was a soothing relief but it didn’t stop or change anything and I went from being sad, sulking, bored to a total shrink of myself.
“We need to talk about my fashion house.”
I told Lex one evening, his scent swirled directly into my nose and when he cocked his head to give me that arrogant look, my heart skipped stupidly.
Was it that I wasn’t noticing him all this while?
He looked even more beautiful and sexy in a green shirt and his hair fell to one side to cover a part of his golden eyes.
“Talk!” He said curtly and I swallowed, Lee whined at the tone of authority and scoffed.
“Why did you buy it without my consent?”
“Because I love it and I could make good use of it for the next six months.” He replied nonchalantly, his eyes staring everywhere except me and I bit my lip in pain. He must detest me so much not to even look at me in the eyes while speaking.
“That’s my property! You had no right!” My tone rose and my fingers balled into a fist, my nose flared and my breathing was now hard.
“It’s mine now, besides I was given full rights to purchase it instead of letting it waste away its value till then.”
He replied, feeling really bored as if I was already too annoying and my presence was really shitty.
“That’s not a feeble excuse!” I yelled.
“It’s my company, my rights and I have the managerial team to keep the place moving! Why on earth are you doing this to me?”
I was beginning to shake as I knew I would cry, the hate from him is too much. We had an agreement to be on our separate paths till six months is over so why was he making my life already difficult.
“Flower?” He called out that annoying name and I hated the way my body shivered or was it the way he called it?
“Those clowns won’t be able to manage that company without an expert! And you were not going to step a foot out of this house the moment you became mine!” He stared and I swallowed, my jaw twitching tightly at his response.
“Am I going to be a housewife or something? This wasn’t our agreement Lex! I need my company back, you get to leave the house as you like and come back in the evening while I rot my way in this house?” I shook, the feeling of loneliness falling heavily on me at the moment. All I did was stare at the ceiling, watch some soap operas, listen and sing along to my favourite K-pop songs and fall back into depression.
It’s hard because I’m not used to this, I’m not a lazy person and staying indoors is the worst punishment ever. I felt the tears again and I wiped it off angrily as I stared at him.
“At Least I won’t get to act so slutty, try to seduce women or become the next city celebrity by having a sex tape released.” He said and his words hit me like a ton of bricks.
“You really think you can continue like that with such a scandal I’m trying so hard to erase? It’s also having an effect on my company too and instead of you being grateful by doing the needful and hiring experts to take over, you’re winning like a child.”
He continued and Lee growled within, I felt my eyes glow and sheen with tears at his words. All morale to talk vanished instantly as reality hit me hard.
I’m still going to suffer for that tape and Felix is out there walking freely, he was so smart to crop himself out and display me before the world to see.
Tessy did me dirty too and I felt so pained, angered and frustrated that I can’t do anything at this point.
As much as I hate to admit it, Lex is right.
I already lost two important proposals and projects and God knows how many more I had already lost.
I hate my life right now and I wish to vanish into thin air completely, away from everything and everyone, just me and Maybe my mum. She’s the only one that understands and loves me as I am. My Dad gets greedy at times but I won’t still blame him. I just want to be alone.
Feeling defeated with words, I still pressed on. I’m really tired of staying indoors, I just want to get out. Felix might come around and take over the atmosphere with his beastly presence and I would be accused again.
“C.. can I Atleast work for the company? It’s really not healthy staying indoors without doing anything.” I asked him, my voice now totally calm and pleading and I saw something glint in his eyes. These stupid beautiful eyes, no matter how much I hate him; Lex was an icing on a cake. It’s as if he was born perfect and doesn’t need anything to add to his perfectness. He was so sexy and I wouldn’t lie to myself if I didn’t think about that night I first met him. If I had known that he would turn out to be a total jackass then I would have run so far without looking back.
Because memories of that night leave me wet. A mere look at him might send waves of anger but deep down I know what I want. I want to see the same look and eyes he gave to me while thrusting into me.
He looked at me, his eyes darkened but that glint was still there.
“Please, just let me work even if it’s in your company before I can get mine.” My voice was low, barely a whisper and he released a shaky breath.
I hated what he did to me and I still hate him but my perverted side won’t deny the fact that I still wished to feel what had transpired between us that night.
God! Was I really becoming a slut?
And why was I feeling this all of a sudden when it was not yet time for the full moon?
I want him again and his cocky attitude and stare is a turn on, I want him inside me again as I know he won’t be rough since he wasn’t during our first night.
“Shit! Flower! Get the hell out of my sight!” He growled and I wondered what I said wrong.
“Lex please, I just need to”
“NO!!” He roared, his eyes sparkled with what I can’t describe but I knew he was struggling for something.
“Stay away from me!” He told me again before exiting the living room leaving me in another bolts of fresh pain.
