REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Victoria’s POV

“Hello.” the voice repeated.

Confused, I took the phone off my ear to check if I was actually calling Eric before responding. “Hello.” I responded.

“Yes, how may I help you.” She said in an irritated tone. By the tone of her voice I knew she was Eric’s girlfriend, but I wasn’t bothered about it, “Can I speak to Eric.”? “No!” She replied, angered. ” And why.” I asked. “Because we had hot sex throughout the night, and he is too tired to talk to anyone right now, especially you.” She announced In a mockery tone.

Hearing those words from her, I felt my heart clenched in pain and for strange reasons, I was jealous.

I mean, this man just had sex with me few days ago, and I still haven’t recovered from it, and he is already having hot sex throughout the night with his girlfriend, like the sex we had was nothing to him.

I took a deep breath and said, “Tell him I called.”

“I won’t do that.” She responded quickly, “You should stay away from him, aren’t you aware that he has a girlfriend before you met him? Just because you are his mate doesn’t mean you should cling to him like a pest, you can never be his type of woman, so get a life and stop all this.” She uttered those words in anger.

I felt anger run through my blood, hearing those words from her. What makes her think I was clinging onto Eric.

I held gaze with the account manager who had been staring at me with curiosity and I knew I just couldn’t say what I wanted to say in front of him, so I ended the call.

Furiously, I thumped the table with my fingers, ignoring I was at the bank. “Is everything okay, ma’am.” The account manager asked while staring at me with inquisitiveness.

Not knowing what to say, I took a deep breath and stood on my feet. “I’ll go and come back some other time.” I said while getting my bag. “Alright, we will be expecting you.” He said with a smile, which I ignored and walked away.

I grumbled as I left the bank. I was furious, but I couldn’t tell why I was furious. I didn’t know if I was angry because I couldn’t make back the transfer to Eric. Or if I was angry because of what his girlfriend said, or the fact that I didn’t speak back to her.

” Fuck!” I groaned and made my way to the hospital. Few minutes later, I got to the hospital and went to my aunt’s room.

A painful smile appeared on my face as I took a seat beside her while so many thoughts went through my head.

I took hold of her hands and felt it was too cold, too cold for my liking. I tried rubbing my hands together with her hands, but it wasn’t working.

Quickly, I stood up from the chair and ran up to the nurse on duty,

“Any doctor around?” I asked,

“Is something wrong ?” The nurse asked, “Yeah, my aunt’s hands are too cold, and she isn’t responding to my touch.” I spoke in fear and panic. “Calm down, let me call the doctor.” “Thank you.” I hurried back to the room and fixed my gaze on her.

Within a minute, the door opened, and a doctor walked in. He looked new to me because I knew almost all the doctors here since my aunt have been here for three years now. “Good day doctor, please check her pulse, she is not responding to my touch.” I uttered in fear.

He closed the door and stood before me like he was trying to pierce through my soul. I stared back at him, but he didn’t blink, rather he glared at me with so much curiosity in his eyes.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Is everything okay?” I asked as I moved away, he was indeed acting strangely. Who knows, he might also be a werewolf or even a vampire because I believe if there are werewolves, then vampires are real.

“Sorry, you just look like someone I know.” he muttered those words and flashed me a big smile before going to my aunt’s side.

He checked her pulses and the machine she was connected to for a while before he covered her properly and locked eyes with me. I stared at him and realized he had a worried look on his face, then and there I knew something was wrong.

“Just tell me what’s wrong.” I spoke in a strong, firm voice, hiding the panic in my voice.

He moved closer to me and stood before me, ”She is still responding to the machine but very slowly and that is very bad.” He announced those words while staring at me with a worried look.

Hearing those words from him, I felt my body numb, and I couldn’t move an inch. “Are you okay?” he asked, moving closer to me. I didn’t give him a response. Rather, I stared at my aunt, who was fighting for her life because of me.

“Please sit.” I felt hands on my arms, pulling me to a chair.

Quickly, I snapped out of my thoughts and realized I was sitting on the chair with the doctor in front of me.

“Take it easy.” He spoke with so much care in his voice. “Do you need water?” He asked, “No, thanks.” I shook my head and stared at the machine connected to my Aunt.

Aunt was in this condition because of my recklessness, but here I am sitting beside her looking healthy and full of life.

I felt a sharp pain pierce through my heart at the thought of losing my aunt, all because of my mistake and carelessness.

Hastily, I stood to my feet while the doctor gave me a quizzical look as I ran my fingers through my hair, frustrated at the situation.

“How long does she have left?”

“I don’t know yet, but my doctors can check it for you.” He replied, still giving me a look filled with concern.

Hearing those words, I realized he owned the hospital, the neurologist specialist the other doctors talked about.

I nodded my head at his words and stared at my aunt. I had the money with me, but what about my pride? Taking that money felt like I was an expensive slut, and I knew my heart would never be at rest. But on the other hand, this was my aunt lying on the bed, someone who took care of me since I was a teen until I was able to work things out myself. This was a woman who was like a mother to me, and she is lying on this bed because of me, because of my recklessness. I can’t let her go like this. If anything happens to her, I knew I would never forgive myself for it.

“Are you okay?” The doctor’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts. “Yeah, I want to make a payment.” Those words did not finish from my mouth when I noticed my phone ringing. I went for my phone in my pocket, checked the call and realized it was Eric.

I stared at the phone as it rang until it ended.

“What were you talking about?” The doctor asked, “I want to…” my words were cut off by the ringing of my phone. “Please excuse me, I have to take this call.” I moved over to the window and stood by it.

“Hello.” I spoke up the moment I picked up the call. “I noticed you called.” His deep husky voice spoke up. “Yeah, but not to worry, I won’t be needing your help any longer, goodbye.” I ended the call and put the phone back in my pocket.

I went back to the doctor, whose curious eyes were on me. I took in a deep and thought of my decision before speaking up, “I want to make some payment for the machines my Aunt will be needing for her treatment.” hearing those words from me, He raised his eyebrows and gave me a curious look, “You mean the machine that cost over fifty thousand dollars.” he asked, “Yes, where can I make the payment.” I responded with a deep sigh.

He stared at me for a while before speaking, “Let’s go, I’ll direct you.”

I sucked in a deep breath and stared at her one more time before leaving the room with the doctor. I knew my heart wouldn’t be at rest for a long time. I knew it would feel like I sold my body for money, but as long as my aunt will wake up and be healthy, all that wouldn’t matter.
