Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 74

“Leia-” A deep breath escaped Adrik’s mouth and he fixed his gaze on her “-On that day, I found you about to commit suicide. I felt very pained and hurt that I couldn’t hold it anymore, but had to run up to you and catch you before you jumped off.”

Leia’s mind went blank the moment she heard that, and the scenes of that day replayed in her mind. That hand that held onto her, that was… Adrik. The person that stopped her from killing herself was Adrik. She could vividly recall that person’s face. She could now vividly recall Adrik’s face from that day.

“I requested your hand in marriage even though you were sold to me, but I want to tell you right now that I do not regret having you sold to me because if it were not for it, I would not have you standing in front of me right now.”

“Every day, my heart raced every second for you, but my brain couldn’t agree with me that I was in love with you. I tried to convince myself that I didn’t love you and that I only cared for you, but my heart didn’t agree with me. Both my heart And my brain were at war.”

“I will not deceive myself anymore, because I realized that I didn’t fall in love with you recently, Leia; I fell in love with you the first time I laid eyes on you, and I knew I’d never stop loving you because you’ll be the only woman that will ever exist in my life and my heart.”

“And that’s why, in front of all these people, in front of the whole world, in front of any possible human that could see, I want to let them know that you are my woman, my beloved wife, everything that I could ever ask for. This I want the whole world to know.”

“I am not putting on a mask today to cover myself, because I want to use my real self, all of me, to ask you, Leia, if you will marry me again.”

He stared at her with anticipation in his green eyes and patiently waited for her response.

Leia’s body trembled, her wet lashes fluttered uncontrollably as tears fell from her eyes, and she abruptly fell on her knees in front of Adrik.

She reached out her shaking hands and cupped his cheek. Her fingers trailed on his face, and more and more tears fell from her eyes. “I… love you so much and yes, I will marry you. Again, thousands of times. You’re the only man I will ever love. And only you will own my heart.” She chuckled softly behind tears and reached out her hand for him, and Adrik placed the diamond ring on her slender finger.

He raised his eyes to Flare at her, but Leia’s lips unexpectedly slammed into his, causing him to become motionless.

She kissed him tenderly and affectionately, and the rain of tears that kept falling from her eyes mixed with their kiss, and she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Adrik smiled against her lips and caressed her cheek with his thumb. “I love you so much, Leia.” He shut his eyes, and tiny drops of tears he had no idea of welled up in his eyes, fell, and mixed with Leia’s.

She broke the kiss and gazed at his face. A smile formed on her lips when she saw the tears in his eyes, and she wiped them off and kissed him tenderly on the forehead. “I love you so mu-.”

A sound from a helicopter reverberated, and both Leia and Adrik looked up, and what they saw was Alex on it.

Before, they could anticipate what would happen. They noticed something like a net open at its bottom and the next thing they saw was hundreds of white objects they couldn’t yet glimpse, pouring out of the net and beginning to fall on the entire place.

Leia stared up at the sky and the minute it fell before her, she glanced at the one that fell on her hand only to realize that it was all white lilies.

Everyone stared at the raining lilies, and their eyes couldn’t help but dilate in shock.

Leia’s eyes fluttered, and she slowly turned around to face Adrik with tears about to fall off her gazes. “How di-”

“I observed you like lilies a lot, and I wanted to make one rain on you, so I did.” He smiled at her and before he could utter another word, Leia jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly, showering kisses all over his face. “I love you so much.”

“I love you too.” He embraced her tightly and planted a kiss on her red lips.

From within the crowd that was staring, a petite young woman began to clap her hands with a wide smile on her lips. “This is… This is the best scene I have witnessed in my entire life. This is real love.” She began to clap her hands vigorously with a wide smile on her lips, and the other crowds who agreed with her also began to clap their hands, including the reporters.

Right now, Adrik was a different man in their eyes. This was the real him, who only knew his wife. They no longer even cared about his face, but what they had just witnessed.

At the Adolpho mansion, Amy, who was watching it live on TV with Jenny and Mr. Adolpho, inhaled and exhaled in a rage. “Ahhhh!!!” She yelled loudly and threw away the remote of the TV onto the floor, breaking it into pieces. “This was supposed to be my place. I was supposed to be the one he was proposing to, not her! She’s just trash, fucking trash!” She fumed in anger, and her hands balled into a tight fist.

“Are you okay?” Jeny’s face puckered in irritation, and she couldn’t resist asking her sister who was acting like an insane person. “You clearly would have never accepted the marriage then, so why are you enraged?” She shook her head and glanced at their father, then at Amy.

Amy’s face turned darker, and she turned to face her father. “This was all your fucking fault!!!” With that being said, she stormed out of the living room.

Mr. Adolpho, who was seated beside Jenny, uttered not a single word, but silently watched the TV.

Leia kissed Adrik one more time and smiled as she turned to face the crowd who were videotaping and applauding them.

They all kept cheering “Congratulations!” to them, and Leia wrapped her arms around Adrik. “This is the best day of my life.” She cupped his cheek with her palm and placed a tender, soft, affectionate kiss on his lips.

“And so is mine..” Adrik smiled and kissed her back with closed eyes.
