BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA

Chapter 50

*** Sienna P.O.V *** I have prepared all of William’s favourite dishes that I remember. It was such a hard thing to do but I did it. I have made all these painstakingly with the help of a few maids. I don’t know if he is still angry but I hope he won’t turn down these foods. I hope he won’t reject my hard work. I just hope he will like it. I breathed in deeply and then raised my hand to press the doorbell again. But just then, someone opened the door. I beamed with a smile when I saw Stephanie. She had a huge frown on her face. What? Isn’t she happy to see me? I ignored her and held the box gently, moving closer to hug her. Her words made me pause my action, “What are you doing here?” I was stunned for a while. What’s up with the cold reception? Why is my best friend treating me this way? Wait… Is it because of that bitch? My insides twisted with anger as I thought of the fact that Stephanie is treating me this way because of that bitch that William brought here. I put on a sad look and asked, “What is wrong Stephanie? Why are you treating me this way? Did I offend you in any way?” I bombarded her with questions. I want to see if she will confirm that my suspicions are actually correct. That she is acting this way because of that bitch. Her frown deepened when she saw me acting so pitiful. “Why are you here?” she asked again, completely ignoring my question. I was now feeling pissed off by her silly attitude. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

We have been together for so many years yet a bitch just shows up one day and steals all their attention from me. Even if William wasn’t particularly affectionate with me, he wasn’t distant either. He still treated me fondly like his younger sister. But I want more… I need more. I have been pinning for more attention and affection from him. So I carried the box up so she can see it. She looked at the box curiously. “What is that?” she asked me. I smiled again and told her, “I prepared William’sfavourite dishes and I want to give them to him. I also…” Before I could finish my statement, Stephanie’s laugh cut me off. I peered at her annoyed already. Why is she laughing? What did I say that is funny? I don’t get why she is laughing so hard. I just kept quiet and watched her laugh to her heart's content. With each passing minute, I felt like I was going to explode with anger. I couldn’t take it anymore so I said, “I will just go in and give him then 'cause I seriously don’t know what I said that is making you laugh like this.” I tried to walk past her but she held my hand stopping me from gaining access to the house. I looked down at our hands. What does this mean? What is she trying to do? How dare she hold me like this? At that moment, I really wish she wasn’t my Luna and best friend or I would have seriously taught her a lesson.

“You can’t go in there,” she answered. Her facial expression now looks serious. The complete opposite of the one that was laughing just now. “Why? What would you do if I go in?” I challenged her angrily. She smirked and said, “Nothing.” I looked at her confused. What is she saying? She saw the confused look on my face so she said, “I won’t do anything 'cause you would just be wasting your time. William isn’t even here. He already went back to his pack with his mate yesterday.” I was dumbstruck instantly. I didn’t even hear the way she emphasized the word ‘mate.’ I shook terribly with anger, sadness and grief. He already left! How do I accomplish my plan now that he is gone? I didn’t even know that he was going to be gone so soon. He usually spent months here whenever he came for a visit in the past. What changed now? The box in my hand fell but luckily or shall I say unluckily, Stephanie caught it and gave it back to me. “I can’t risk the box falling and spilling all those precious foods you have prepared with great hope.” I glared at her cause I could sense the sarcasm in her voice. From today onwards, Stephanie has been promoted from the position of my best friend to my arch-enemy. “Sorry to burst your bubble honey but William already left with his love,” she said, poking the bitter truth in my face. I couldn’t roll my hands into fists angrily but my face turned red displaying the immense anger I am feeling right now.

“So leave now and take your box with you. Since William isn’t here, that thing is useless,” she spat out. I was filled with total resentment. Why do I feel like I have been faced slapped? No! I won’t take this embarrassment and humiliation this way. But I need to know… I need to know why. “Why?” I asked her. “Why what?” she replied with a puzzled look on her face. “Why are you doing all this? Is it because of that bitch? I thought you have always supported my every decision in pursuing your cousin-in-law?” I asked her and she smiled. “I supported you but I also warned you many times not to pin your hope on William. There is something called fated mates. I wanted you two to be together but the moon goddess clearly has other plans. And now that he has found his fated mate, I can’t support outsiders on this. I only stand with the family,” she mumbled. I gasped in pain. I feel so hurt and heartbroken. All my plans were just in vain. Stephanie moved closer and tried to touch me but I moved away. I raised my hand to stop her from coming close to me and said in a quiet voice, “No need. I’ll leave.” With that, I turned around. . . . ….....
