Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 43

Leia smirked and ignored his glaring green eyes. They continued to dance with each other and didn’t even notice when everyone stopped dancing and fixed their gazes on them.

Leia smiled and drew back from Adrik. He caught her by the waist and pulled her back into his embrace, then they moved back and forth in rhythm. They placed their palms together and moved from side to side, with their gazes fixed on each other. Leia swayed her hips in cadence to the music, and Adrik smirked slyly. With her back facing him, he placed his left hand on her belly and interlocked his right hand with hers, then they slowly swayed their bodies in inflection with each other.

The pacing of the music changed suddenly, and he grabbed her by the hand and twirled her around, then caught her by the waist and bent her down.

Leia blinked her eyes in confusion at the sudden move and stared at Adrik with a questioning gaze. What was he doing? He knows she can’t walk on heels, and he’s making her dance in such style. Before she could even say anything to him, Adrik pulled her up and twirled her away, then abruptly pulled her back by the wrist and slid her in between his legs.

“Ahh!!” Leia exhaled and inhaled sharply, but before she could breathe properly. He pulled her back up and threw her a little bit up, then caught her by the waist and vigorously twirled her around. Leia shook her head as she was feeling dizzy and swallowed hard. He turned her around so she had her back facing him and nuzzled her neck. The pacing of the music became slow once again, and they returned to moving in slow motion. Leia breathed in and out, and her eyes viciously glared at him.

Amy, who stood by the counter with a glass of wine in her hand, narrowed her eyes as her heel tapped continuously on the floor. She viciously stared at them, and an unknown glint flashed in her eyes. She let out a low groan and abruptly dropped the glass of wine on the counter, then stomped away with clenched hands. She walked to Jenny, who also had her eyes fixed on Leia and Adrik, and her eyes rolled in annoyance.

The music stopped and Adrik led Leia out of the dance floor by the hand. “What if something had happened?” Leia abruptly whispered, so only he and she could hear her, and her brow creased in displeasure. Adrik glanced at her and chuckled softly with an amused face.

They proceeded to walk to the counter, but a familiar female voice resounded, causing them to let out a low, annoyed groan and turn to face Lady Cathryn, who had a face full of a friendly smile. “Mr. Avalanzo.” Lady Cathryn smiled sheepishly and glanced at a young blonde-haired girl with gray eyes, draped in a short purple dress, standing beside her.

“Anything?” Adrik asked with an expressionless face.

“I want to introduce you to my lovely daughter. She recently came back from school, so I thought it would be nice to introduce her to you.” Lady Cathryn turned to her daughter, who was smiling widely with her eyes fixed on Adrik. “Her name is Amanda, but she’s mostly called Ama.” She gestured at her daughter, then to Adrik. “He is Mr. Avalanzo.” Amanda smiled and slightly waved her hand at Adrik. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Avalanzo.”

Adrik nodded at her and proceeded to say something to Lady Cathryn. However, his face suddenly grimaced when he felt a wicked pinch on his hand, and he hurriedly turned to Leia only to see her gazing at Lady Cathryn with a vicious eye and a devilish smirk on her lips. His eyes couldn’t help but blink in confusion. What was going on with his little wife?

“So Mr. Avalanzo-” Adrik averted her gaze from Leia to stare at Lady Cathryn, who stood with crossed arms. “-When was your marriage held?” She raised her eyebrows and asked, with a smirk on her lips.

Adrik’s brow arched at her question, and his face puckered in displeasure.

“Oh, don’t get me wrong. It’s for the obvious reason that we are all surprised.” Lady Cathryn snickered and smiled at the surrounding guests, whose eyes were now fixed on them, with a sharp expression on her face.

“I agree.” Amanda curled her lips and glanced at Leia. “She probably married him for his money and not for love-” She peeked at the surrounding guests and sarcastically blurted out. “-No doubt it’s an arranged marriage.” Amanda chuckled mockingly along with her mother and turned to stare at Adrik. However, an unexpected hot slap that gave her a huge headache landed on her pretty face, and she fell to the floor with her hand clutching onto her now red cheek.

Both the surrounding guests, Lady Cathryn, Mr. Adolpho, and his two daughters gasped and lowered their eyes to stare at Amanda, then at Leia, who stood with a darkened face and clenched hands. Their eyes blinked furiously in disbelief, and they covered their mouths.

“How dare you!!” Lady Cathryn exclaimed, and in a rage, she pointed her finger at Leia and stepped forward to slap her. Adrik proceeded to react, but Leia abruptly stepped forward and grabbed Lady Cathryn by the neck of her dress, and stared deep into her eyes with threat apparent in her pitch-black pupils. “If you don’t learn to mind your business and sew up those artificial lips of yours, I might be the one to help you and sew them up.” She released her dress and stepped a bit back, giving only an inch of distance between the two of them. “And one more piece of advice: teach your obnoxious daughter some manners, or she’ll be in a lot of trouble in the future.” She grinned dangerously and glanced at Amanda, who was still clutching her red cheek with an ashen face.

Leia narrowed her eyes and squatted down to her level. She grabbed her by the chin, and a mysterious smirk emerged on her lips. “Do you, by any chance, know what I hate?” She pouted with a smile on her face. “It’s girls like you who throw themselves away and stoop too low for insignificant gains.” She clicked her tongue and shook her head in a disappointed manner. “You know, since your mother can’t seem to teach you some manners, you can teach her, or if both of you can’t teach each other, I will be happy to help. It’s not that hard.” Leia chuckled crazily and threw her head back with one hand, clutching onto her belly.

Amanda’s face darkened, and she proceeded to say something. However, her body suddenly reacted and flinched back in fear when Leia abruptly raised her head and glared at her with menacing eyes. “Awww… Don’t worry, I’m not going to slap you again.” She laughed softly and shook her head in mockery.. She clicked her tongue and slowly stood up from the floor, then glanced at Lady Cathryn, who stood motionless with disbelief written all over her face.
