Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 73

Leia’s eyes fluttered in utmost happiness, and she smiled as she nodded her head in approval. She placed her hand on his, and Adrik helped her up.

He walked her out of the canopy and, under the full moon and thousands of stars in the sky, Adrik wrapped both her hands around his neck and then placed his hands on her waist. With that being done, they both began to move in rhythm with the classical music.

Leia gazed into his green eyes just like he was also gazing into hers, and Adrik placed his forehead on hers.

She shut her eyes and inhaled deeply before exhaling. She laid her head on his chest and hugged him. Adrik smiled at her action and wrapped his arms around her.

They danced this way till Adrik pulled away and kissed her on the forehead. He interlocked his hand with hers and stared up at the dark sky. “I want to take you somewhere.”

“Huh?” Leia blinked her eyes in confusion and gazed at him.

“Come with me.” He kissed her on the forehead and placed his mask on his face, then proceeded to walk her out of the garden.

“Adrik your jacket.” Leia glanced back at the canopy and reminded him.

“Don’t worry about it.” He opened the front door of the car for her and she stepped in, then he walked over to the driver’s seat and took his seat. “It’s going to be just you and me.”

He started the car engine, reversed it, and sped off down the road.

The shortest it took them, was thirty minutes to arrive at their destination, and when Leia’s eyes fell on where they were, she couldn’t help but flutter her eyes in confusion.

In front of her was a tall, huge fountain that had beautiful sculptures on it, spraying water, and around that fountain was something like pipes attached to the ground, also squirting water.

Not just that, there were lights within a little gap between those pipes and the fountain, making the water look beautiful. The lights were purple and sometimes changed to white and then to blue.

“Oh my God!” Leia slowly shook her head in disbelief and turned to look at Adrik.

Adrik stepped down from the car and opened the door for her. He smiled at her and wrapped his arm around her waist. Then, together, they walked towards the water fountain.

He helped her walk through, so they could have themselves standing in the gap, keeping the fountain and the pipes attached to the ground a bit away from each other.

Leia stared up at the water spraying over her head to clash with the ones squirting out of the pipes, and her eyes couldn’t help but twinkle in amazement.

She cupped her hands together and adored the beauty she was witnessing.

While they were watching the water, the people who were also near them, admiring the fountain, noticed them, and they couldn’t help but cover their mouths with their hands while pointing at them.

“Isn’t that Mr. Avalanzo?” One of them asked, and those near her nodded their heads.

“Who is the girl beside him?” They all fluttered their eyes as they were at a bit of loss and fixed their gazes on them.

While the surrounding crowd was staring at them, Leia, who was unaware, kept watching the fountain and admiring its beauty and had no idea when Adrik stepped back to stand behind her.

He pulled out a small black box from the pocket of his pants and stared at Leia’s back for a while, then, with a deep breath escaping his nose, Adrik slowly got down on one knee and opened the box, revealing a diamond ring that sparkled under the bright moon and stars in the sky.

He took his mask off, disclosing his whole face, and gestured the ring to Leia, then patiently waited for her to turn around.

The crowd dilated their eyes in shock, and they gaped at Adrik with their jaws fallen. Right now, his revealed face was not even the main thing that had them dumbstruck.

But, he was proposing to someone in front of so many people!!! Who was Mr. Avalanzo? The richest man in the world, who is hardly seen by just anyone, is here today, in front of them, proposing to a girl they have no idea of or ever heard of.

Are they dreaming or hallucinating? Some of them pinched themselves and hurriedly pulled out their phones from their pockets.

This must be recorded! It has to go on the internet!! The world has to see this!!! They can’t be the only ones witnessing this!!

They put their phone on recording and began to tape Adrik and Leia, who still had no idea of what was going on.

“Guys, the reporters are here!!” One of them screamed, causing everyone to turn their heads and see reporters walking towards them with their cameras in hand.

Leia’s eyes fluttered when she heard the scream and murmurs from the surrounding people, and her face puckered deeply. Could it be that they were being like this because of Adrik? ‘Stupid people!’ She thought and turned her head to glance at Adrik, but didn’t see him beside her.

“Where is he?” She turned around and the minute her eyes fell on Adrik, who was kneeling on one knee while gesturing a diamond ring at her, her brain exploded and she became motionless. Her eyes dilated like saucers and she just stared down at him unmoving.

What is going on? What in the fucking world is happening? Is she dreaming or what? Is this an apparition or what?

Her heartbeat became unsteady and it raced faster within her. Many questions whirled in her mind, and she suddenly felt faint-headed.

Is all this real? Is he actually proposing to her?

Bubbles of tears welled up in her eyes, and the moment she blinked, they streamed down, falling to the floor. More tears trailed down her cheeks, and she shuddered slightly.

She began to laugh crazily behind tears, and uncontrollably, they fell from her eyes.
