FALLING FOR A HEARTLESS BETA

CHAPTER 26



=-Amber’s POV=-

Once again, it was just me and Dale in the house. Jacob already went home because something came up with his Luna. I heard from Dale’s phone conversation one time that Luna has committed suicide at Jacob’s workplace in Claybourne.

I am sure that the issue would make a great scandal but Dale has prohibited me to watch the news or even checked my phone lately. He even confiscated it from me.

Then, my mood was totally ruined when Dale gave me a piece of paper pertaining to my wedding to Jacob’s brother. As my master, he has the right to refuse it, but I learned, he was the one who insisted on the wedding. Meaning to say, he really didn’t want to have me in his house.

For the nth time, I read the written agreement that he forced me to sign earlier. It was stipulated in the agreement that even if I would be married to Jacob’s brother, Dale would have every right to see me whenever he wanted to.

I believed the terms were ridiculous but it was Dale who drafted the agreement. Everything was favorable to him. After everything I have been through, I didn’t want to be married. Dealing with Alpha Marcus or even Dale was enough. I had enough of the men’s domineering attitude. They liked to control women as if women came with remote control!

Since Alpha Jacob was gone, Dale constantly went out and he would be back so late. Then, he would always be on the phone, smiling at the person he was talking to on the other line, and watching him like that was disheartening on my part.

I saw the signs that he was in love…with someone else!

In fact, he rarely paid attention to me. He wouldn’t even bother to check on me or raise his voice whenever I did something wrong. He just didn’t care and it felt like I was living in hell!

Should I just be glad about the wedding?

Anyway, there’s no point in staying with him. He was so heartless and insensitive about my feelings. How could he allow the marriage while knowing that I am pregnant with his child?

He said that Jacob’s brother was naïve and kind, but I didn’t buy that. I believed that all men were created equal. They loved to dominate the women, and I knew what was in store for me after the wedding.

A deep sigh escaped from my mouth while I made his dinner. While cooking, I clearly remembered how he looked at me earlier. It was a look from someone who had no interest in me.

I was done cooking and he wasn’t home yet. Then, I chastised myself for always waiting for him. He already made it obvious to me that he wasn’t interested, and yet, I couldn’t stop myself from thinking so much about him.

So, I had my dinner alone… as usual. Then after cleaning the mess in the kitchen, I returned to my room and went to bed early. My legs were really tired from doing all the house works.

I was so sleepy that I didn’t bother to have a quick shower before going to bed, but later on, someone came and disturbed me from sleeping soundly. His hands were warm as he groped my breasts under my clothes. I moaned at the sensation, but then I forced myself to get up.

It was too dark in the room! I couldn’t see anything at the moment!

“W-who are you?” I asked because the way he touched my skin was different from Dale’s, but he had a different plan instead of responding to my inquiry. He pushed me!

I grimaced in pain, and I tried to scream but he immediately covered my mouth. I struggle to get away from him until he punched me in the stomach.  It was so painful, and then a sickening pain made me crouch on the floor.

“Amber! What’s wrong with you?”

When I heard his voice, I immediately looked up, and then I blinked my eyes several times as soon as I recognized him. Then, I discovered I was just dreaming. A sigh of relief escaped from my lips because I really thought that something bad has happened to my baby.

“Dale! When did you come?” I inquired. “How long have you been standing there?”

“So, who was the man in your dreams, Amber? I heard you moan so hard as if he did something good to your body,” he guessed.

I wanted to tell him that it was him in my dream but he got furious without a valid reason. Then, he suddenly grabbed my arm, and then he pushed me back into the bed.

At that moment, I thought he would force himself into me, but he didn’t. He just kept on standing in front of me, glaring at me, and he seemed so bothered.

“I don’t know what you are talking about, Dale, but I could be dreaming about my future husband. After all, I have been thinking about the wedding since morning,” I told him.

“You seemed to be happy about the wedding, Amber!”

“What else should I feel? You convinced me that it’s the best for me! You said I should be happy to become a mistress of my own home, and not just your servant. Anyway, I just realized that living with a stranger would probably be better than being here. I just hope that he’s also good in bed,” I informed Dale but then he suddenly clenched his fist as if he wanted to smack me.

“Shut up!” he screamed at me. “You’re mine, remember that! Only mine, Amber!”

“Yes, for now. I belong to you as a servant but once I get married to Jacob’s brother, I would be free from you,” I provoked him even more.

For a moment, he was so silent and just stared at me. I didn’t back down though. I remained to stare at him, and he seemed to dislike it.

“I’m hungry. Kindly set the table now,” he ordered.

I frowned because I was confused why his tone suddenly changed. Then, he strolled toward the door and left me alone. Earlier, when he pushed me into the bed, I really thought he would force himself but he didn’t.  Did he really become a different person? Dale wasn’t like that!

As ordered, I got up and fixed my messy hair before heading to the dining room where he would be possibly waiting. I prepared his favorite grilled fish.

As a dutiful servant, I did everything he asked of me, except for moving my clothes into his room and sleeping with him every night before the wedding. When he came, my eyes widened to see him topless. It wasn’t like him to be topless at home. He was always presentable!

“Why are you naked?” I asked in disbelief.

“I’m not naked, Amber,” he replied in a monotone.

“Not naked? You are topless, Dale!”

“Then, what’s wrong with being topless? It’s just the two of us here, and you already saw every inch of my body. If you want, you can do the same,” he suggested something lewd.

“You looked hideous with all those hard muscles, Dale,” I lied, of course.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“Oh really? Hmmm,” he mumbled, and before I could get away, he imprisoned me in his tight embrace. “Feel them, Amber. Feel my hard muscles, pressing on your soft flesh,” he whispered into my ear.

I really tried to push him away but he hugged me too tight, and because he was taller than me, my face was pressed against his muscular chest. My goodness, how could he smell so good?

“I told you so. You won’t find me hideous, Amber. You love my body, all the time,” he mumbled, and I rolled my eyes at him. He was really nuts! “Let’s eat,” said the man suddenly. “Are you disappointed that I didn’t bang you on the table?”

“Where?” I asked.

“On the table. You were horny, Amber, and no matter how much you will try to control your lust for me, you couldn’t. You want me. I can see it in your eyes,” he continued to tease me.

“Wrong,” I replied.
