REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Victoria’s POV

I heard him right, I wasn’t imagining things or constructing his words. I lifted my head and locked eyes with him and realized he was being sincere with his words.

”What did you say ?” I asked again with excitement running all over my body.

”I said I love you Vicky.”he muttered those words with so much ease while smiling widely at me.

I felt excitement and cold shivers run down my spine when I heard him say those words to me, but then I remembered, I remembered he was married.

Quickly, I moved away from him while I stared at him with irritation and anger boiling in Me, ” Why didn’t you tell me you were married.” I muttered those words, heartbroken and in pain, as the thought of that drew a sharp pain in my heart.

”I never told you I was married.” he spoke firmly and moved closer to me. ”I’m not married, neither do I have a family, but I have a good reason for keeping my identity away from you, a very good reason.” he said those words and tried taking hold of me, but I took a step away from him.

”Stay away from me, Tim, if that is even your name.” I murmured and picked up my bag, ”I need to go, I can’t keep doing this.” I declared angrily and tried moving away, but he grabbed me tightly on my waist and pulled me closer to himself with so much ease, and I wondered what manner of strength he has.

”Let go of me.” I grumbled and tried moving away, but he tightened his grip on me.

”Listen.” his voice came out with so much authority and power that I felt my body become numb, and I couldn’t do a thing.

He took a deep breath before he spoke up, ”Two weeks, I’ll show my face to you in the next two weeks, but until then, can we just be together.” he expressed those words almost like a plea.

I gazed at him and noticed the sincerity in his eyes and how much he loved and wanted us to be together and for that reason, I couldn’t reject him.

”Fine, only for two weeks.” I murmured,

”yeah, Just two weeks and I will show you my face and tell you my identity.” He pleaded.

Hearing those words from him, I felt a great deal of joy and I couldn’t hold it anymore. With love, I wrapped my two hands around his neck and sealed my lips with his.

At first, he let me kiss him at my pace before he groaned and deepened the kiss while he grabbed my waist and lifted me to him, making me wrap my legs around his waist.

His lips were so soft and warm despite the cold weather. Coming from his body was a warm and cozy heat that I wondered how someone could have such a temperature in weathers like this.

I felt him kiss me slowly before he pulled away from me while he still carried me so comfortably like a little kid.

”You are beautiful.” he whispered those words almost to himself, but I could hear it. ”I would have said that to you, if only I could have seen your face.” I flashed him a big smile before placing kisses on his forehead.

Gently, he kept me down with his gaze still on me.

”Let’s walk around.”

I nodded my head as a response and walked beside him as we walked around the garden.

”This place is beautiful.” I whispered with a smile while I rubbed my hands on my arms to warm myself up.

Strangely, I felt cold once I left Tim’s arms.

”You are cold.” he did not let those words finish from his mouth before he pulled me closer to himself and made me rest my head on his chest.

”Warmth.” I murmured comfortably as I felt his warmth heat on me.

We walked in silence around the garden for a bit and I wished this moment never ended, but it had to end.

”Let me take you home.” he kissed my forehead and smiled warmly at me before leading me to the car.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

”The food and mat.” I asked, when I noticed the food and mat were still there. ”Don’t worry about it, let’s go.” he smiled warmly and opened the car for me.

I got in while he went over to the driver’s seat and sat on it.

He flickered a happy smile at me before driving off.

Few minutes into the drive he spoke up, ”How is your health?” he asked with his gaze still on the road.

”My health”? I asked, confused, ”How did you know I wasn’t okay.” I asked while staring at him with a questioning look.

I can’t remember telling him I was sick or something was wrong with me, then how did he know.

”You told me you were in the hospital for months, so I just wanted to know if you are okay now.” he muttered those words nervously, and I wondered why he was nervous.

”I’m fine now, you don’t need to worry.” I responded, while he smiled and continued driving.

In few minutes, we were in front of my apartment. We both got out of the car and stood by the car without saying a word.

”I think I should go in.” I broke the silence.

He nodded his head, moved closer to me and kissed my lips softly before pulling away.

”Goodnight.” he said with a grin and moved away from me.

”Night.” I beamed at him and slowly walked away, but I could still feel his gaze on me, and I found it enticing.

I got to the door and was about to enter the room when I curiously turned and saw him still standing there with his hands in his pockets. I locked eyes with him and noticed he reminded me so much of Eric, and I hated it. Nervously, I smiled at him and went inside my apartment.

I got in and met Sonia at home, watching a movie.

”Hi.” I waved my hands at her,

She nodded her head but did not say a word, it was obvious she was still mad at me.

I checked the time and saw it was 10 pm already. Luckily for me, I was on afternoon duties.

I released a sigh of relief and took off my clothes. I went to the bathroom, took a quick bath and went back to the room.

I wore a short and a big shirt before climbing onto the bed.

I sat on the bed and fixed my gaze on the movie Sonia was watching.

”Did he show his face to you?” Sonia asked, after several minutes of silence.

”No, he said he had his reason.” I tried defending him.

Sonia clapped both her hands and laughed loudly at me with mockery all over her face. ”I can’t believe you could be this stupid.” she muttered angrily.

I lay on the bed but didn’t say a word.

”A man you claim you love can’t even show his face to you, and you are so comfortable with it.” she scoffed and shook her head in disappointment before getting up from the bed. ”Pray he isn’t married or has a dark secret somewhere.” she hollered those words and left the room.

I sighed and closed my eyes to get some sleep, but Sonia’s words kept echoing in my head.

What if she was right?

What if he has a family somewhere and has a dark secret that might be dangerous to me.

Anxiously, I sat on the bed and thought for a while before picking up my phone and dialed his number.

It rang a few times before it was picked.

”I was going to call you.”he spoke up as soon as the call was picked.

I sighed in relief when I realized he might not be married because a married man wouldn’t be talking to me so comfortably in his home.

”Where are you.” I asked in curiosity.

”Home.” he replied easily, which made me smile at myself before speaking up. ”I just wanted to check on you.”

He chuckled over the phone for a while before speaking, ”I know why you called, don’t worry, I’ll call you tomorrow, okay.”

I nervously nibbled my lips but didn’t say a word. ”Go to bed, it’s already late.”

”Alright, goodnight.” I whispered and ended the call.

I smiled at myself and kept back the phone.

Maybe he was telling the truth, maybe I just have to believe him.

I was woken up by the smell of frying pancakes. I opened my eyes and saw Sonia frying some pancakes in the kitchen.

I yawed and slowly stood up from the bed, I walked to the bathroom, relieved myself, washed my face and went back to the room.

”Good morning Sonia.” I greeted.

”Morning.” she murmured like she was being forced to respond.

Lazily, I went back to the room and collapsed on it. I was too weak, too weak to do anything.

Sighing heavily, I picked up my phone and noticed I had a missed call from the hospital, and quickly I dialed back the number.

It rang a few times before it was picked,

”Good morning.” I greeted

” Good morning, miss Victoria, right?” the voice was the voice of a nurse.

”Yes, that’s me.”

”Alright, I was calling to inform you about the test we did yesterday.” she explained.

”Alright, when are we starting my treatment?” I asked while lying on the bed.

”I’m sorry, miss Victoria, but we can’t conduct treatment on you.” she replied.

”Why.” I asked, confused.

The line went silent for a while before she spoke up, ”You are two weeks pregnant, and we can’t conduct such treatment on a pregnant woman.”

Her words made my body numb and my palms became sweaty. ”What did you say.” I asked again, to be sure I heard her right.

”Miss Victoria, you are pregnant.” she announced those words to me.

”No!” Hearing those words from her the second time, made me scream and let the phone fall on the floor.

Hearing my scream, Sonia rushed to me and stood before me with her curious eyes on me. ”What’s wrong?” she asked while sitting beside me.

I wanted to speak, scream and shout, but I noticed I’d lost my voice, my feet were cold, and my body became numb.

”What happened.” Sonia asked in panic when she noticed I wasn’t saying a word.

I felt hot tears tumbling on my cheek and I couldn’t hold them back.

”Is your aunt okay, what is wrong?” Sonia asked in panic as she moved closer to me. ”Please talk to me.” she begged.

I stared at her and tried to speak, but the words weren’t coming out of my mouth.

I’m pregnant, I’m fucking pregnant, and the worst part was that I don’t know who the father of my child is.

”Vicky.” she called out my name in panic and fear. ”Please tell me what it is, I beg you.” she pleaded.

”I’m two weeks pregnant.” I whispered with tears falling down my cheek, ”What ?” Sonia exclaimed in shock and stood up from the bed.

”Shit.” she muttered in anger.

I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration as I felt more hot tears falling down my cheek. I couldn’t breathe, I was finding it difficult to breathe.

”It’s okay.” Sonia sat beside me and gently tapped my shoulder. ”You just have to call Eric and let him know of the situation.” she said with a relieved smile.

I stared at her and slowly shook my head in regret before getting up from the bed.

”What is it?” she stood up from the bed and stood before me,

I took in a deep breath and wiped off the tears falling on my cheek.

”I don’t know yet if Eric is the father.” I sobbed in tears, ”What are you even saying ?” Sonia asked, confused.

I shook my head and sobbed loudly.

”Oh my goodness.” Sonia exclaimed in shock. It was obvious she understood now.

”Don’t tell me you slept with DOM Tim without using a condom.” she yelled angrily, while I just sighed in tears but couldn’t say a word. ”How could you be this stupid and careless.” she scolded in anger.

”It happened so fast.” I murmured in tears and sat on the floor while I dragged my two knees to my chest and wept profusely.

How would I know the father of my child, when I had sex with DOM Tim two days after having sex with Eric.

How can I get pregnant for a man who hated me and only wanted me for sex, or get pregnant for a man who I haven’t seen his face or even know his identity.

How can I walk up to Eric and tell him that I might be pregnant for him, but I’m not sure about it because I had sex with another man two days after having sex with him.

Or how can I walk up to DOM Tim and tell him I might be pregnant for him, but I’m not sure because I had sex with another man two days ago before having sex with him.

”Shit!” I screamed and rested my head on my knees while I cried profusely.

Sonia stood there and stared at me for a while before she sat on the floor beside me. We both sat there in silence except from the noise coming from my silent tears.

”What are you going to do ?” she whispered those words in a calm voice, but I knew she was angry at me. She was angry that I slept with DOM Tim, a man I knew nothing about, without a condom.

I sobbed silently but didn’t say a word.

”Vicky now is not the time to sit here and cry, you have to do something.” she muttered angrily.

”Let’s think of what to do.” she murmured.

”I don’t know what to do, Sonia, I’m confused, I don’t even know the father of this child.” I mumbled in tears.

”Then flush it.” she muttered those words coldly.

I turned my head sideways and stared at her with startled eyes.

” What are you saying”? I asked in disbelief, ”You don’t know the father of the baby, so why don’t you flush it and save yourself from all this drama and headache.” she declared firmly.

”How can you ask me to abort my baby ?” I asked in disbelief, but she chuckled softly and clapped her both hands before speaking, ”You are just two weeks pregnant, and you don’t even know which of the men you slept with is responsible for the pregnancy. Flush out this baby and save yourself from the problem and trouble you are about to face, or you keep this baby and face the consequences that come with it.” she muttered those words and stood up from the floor.

”Think about it Vicky, now it’s still early.” She advised and walked away, leaving me alone with my misery.
