Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 96

The moment Adrik stepped out of the mansion, he halted and took a deep breath. “Tighten the security around Leia. If anything happens to her… ” He turned his head to stare at Alex, and a deadly glint flashed in his eyes. Without bothering to elaborate further, he proceeded to walk towards the car.

Alex swallowed hard, and a deep breath escaped his nose. He hurried to the car and opened the door for him.

Adrik stepped in and relaxed in the chair. He shut his eyes and exhaled deeply. An image of a girl appeared in his mind, and a smile crept onto his lips behind the mask. “Little wife.” He whispered to himself, a sigh of relief leaving his mouth.

Alex, who had taken his seat in the driver’s chair, started the car’s engine and drove them out of the compound and onto the road.

It took them a maximum of 4 hours to arrive back at the mansion. From his estate, it only takes three hours, but from the mansion, it takes up to four or five hours.

Parking the car in the parking lot, Alex got down from the car and opened the door for Adrik.

Adrik stepped down and a deep breath exited his nose. He stuffed his hands into the pockets of his pants and began to stroll into the mansion.

He walked to the elevator, which took him up to the second floor, and he stepped out when the door opened. He strolled to their room and pushed the door open.

His body instantly stilled as the first thing his eyes fell on was Leia, who was draped in blue pyjamas and had Airpods plugged into her ears. She was moving from left to right, twisting her body in different ways in the form of dancing with her eyes tightly shut.

His eyes fluttered in surprise, and he stood there staring at her with a smile creeping up his lips behind the mask latched onto his face.

Leia’s head bobbed in rhythm to the music she was listening to and she swirled around. However, as though catching a glimpse of someone standing by the door, she hurriedly stopped and turned to stare at Adrik, who was watching her. It would be a lie if she said she didn’t notice he was smiling.

Her eyes blinked as her face turned awkward. She coughed, and her lips slowly curled up in an awkward half-smile. “Ahh. You’re back. I thought you were going to come back by six.” She said and immediately unplugged the Airpods from her ears.

Adrik slightly shook his head and walked to her. He cupped her cheeks with his hands and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. “Little wife.” He drew back to stare at her face, and his brow creased a bit when his eyes trailed to her hair.

“Did you cut your hair again?” He asked and gazed intently at her.

Leia’s lashes blinked vigorously, and she folded her arms. “You don’t like it?” Her face puckered and she clicked her tongue in a bit of displeasure. “But you said, It was beautiful before and that you liked it.”

She turned around and strolled to the bed to sit down.

Adrik chuckled softly and ambled to sit down beside her on the bed. He patted her on the head and turned her face so he could place a soft kiss on her lips. “Little wife, I do love it this way. I was just surprised that you cut it again. I mean, I thought you would leave it after it grew longer. ”

Leia took a deep breath and unfolded her arms. “I do like it long, but I prefer it short.” A smile formed on her lips, and she laid down, leaving her back to press against the bed.

“Well, let me take a shower.” Adrik smiled at her and stood up from the bed. He walked to the bathroom and stepped in, then shut the door behind him.

Leia sat up on the bed and her gaze became distant. Should she let Adrik know about Shawn? I mean, she’d be lying if she said she didn’t wish Shawn would never return and stay wherever he is, marry, and start his own family.

She could have taken his number from Victor, but she was skeptical about it. What would she tell him? How would they even converse? It’s been so long, and it’s no longer the same as before. Things have changed.

Hopefully, if ever he returns, he’ll return with a wife and kids, so there won’t be any problems. A deep sigh left her mouth, and she was startled when she heard Adrik’s voice echo in her head.

“Little wife, what are you thinking about?” She turned around to see Adrik dressed up in a white robe, with his hair messily tied up in a bun.

She shook her head at him and took a low breath. “It’s nothing, just a bit lost.” She smiled at him and dragged him down to lie on the bed.

She laid down too, and wrapped her leg around his waist, then kept her hand on his chest.

“Adrik, can I ask you something?” She asked, and he nodded his head at her.

“Do you, by any chance, know a brown-skinned girl by the name of Kiesha?” She raised her head, supporting it with her other hand, and stared at his face.

Adrik’s brow creased a bit in thought, and he slowly nodded his head. “Yes, I did meet one by that name last week, before I took you on a date.” He raised his brow and turned his head to look at Leia. “Why do you ask?”

“Well, she’s my best friend… and my classmate in high school.” Leia shrugged, and a half-smile formed on her lips.

Adrik stared at her for a moment, and his eyes fluttered in disbelief. “Your best friend?”

“Yes, my best friend..” Leia nodded at him and laid back on the bed, leaving her back to rest on the bed.
