One Night Stand With My Arranged Alpha

Sever Ties

I sat down on the couch without minding his pissed look or angry remarks, “relax honey, Wyatt must be angry that we sent him to the military against his wish. You should be more gentle with him” Bianca Hayes uttered. My eyes flashed with a dangerous glint but I still held my composure, dad's eyes softened as she recalled the past where I curled up to his feet, screaming and crying. He sighed deeply and shoved the thought aside, “you don’t have to bring this up, we did all this for him. If we hadn’t sent him away to the military, could he have become a strong man ready to face the word? He can easily conquer the world if he takes over Nate's cooperation” dad said proudly with no remorse in his eyes. I was still sitting quietly watching as the couple discussed like I was invisible, I clenched my fist and looked away.

“Wyatt, you should remember that I’m your father. You should know that all I did is for your greater good, so don’t speak to me with no manners” I was without a word as I listened to what he said while hoping for their warm welcome. Apparently, that didn’t come. I was only giving myself false hope, “dear, you know how strict your father is? Don’t take all these things to heart. We love you and won’t do anything to hurt you” mum muttered with complexity. I sneered with disgust, recalling how I got bitten by a werewolf while scouting. ‘Is this how to care for me? Leaving me alone in the military to be tortured to death. How ironic’ I shot the two a glare as I’ve already lost my cool from waiting for them to recognize me as their son and family. “Are you both done!” I uttered with a wave of authority, the couple flinched and was intimidated by my aura and the strong voice that carried power.

‘Is this really Wyatt that used to curl up to me childishly?’ Bianca Hayes was with wide eyes as he stared at me bewildered. Dad checked me out after he had recovered from the shock and pushed the matter aside, ‘I’ll talk about this later, now I’ll have to discuss the engagement with Wyatt’ he thought to himself.

“Mrs. Hayes, the lunch is served” the chef muttered. Mom clapped her hands excitedly and turned to us, “let’s continue this talk at the dining table” dad asserted and got up from the sofa, he strode towards the dining hall, pulled out the head seat, and sat down.

“I made your favorite food and Cheetos, come and have a bite” mum gestured for me to join them. I only had a handful of meals but soon felt a grip on my throat. Just as I recognized the food, I spat out the food and placed the cutlery back on the table. “You can start talking now! I don’t have enough time with me” although dad was dissatisfied with me, he stopped eating and looked up to me.

“You remember Adrian Princeton, you have had an engagement since childhood with his daughter. You both had become grownups and we thought it’s best for you both to get married, so, after lunch, we’re going over to finalize the engagement with the Princeton family” Bianca Nate explained. I sat in silence for some moments, startled. Seems I’ve got it all wrong, here I am thinking that there would be changes since dad asked me to come back and inherit the business, however it turns out that they were planning to use me as a pawn in their game. With my face red with anger, I slammed my hand on the table, shattering all the glasses and plates as I sprang up from the seat.

“You both disgust me! After spending years in the military without hearing from my sweet parents. Suddenly this was why they called me back, so pathetic” my eyes were rooted in them, gazing at them with disgust. Mum tried to speak up but swallowed her word, “I was really overthinking it, with hopes that there would be changes I came back to spend time with family but it is clear that I’ve no family.” I mockingly said, how ironic to think that this would be a reunion, ‘they’re indeed Nate Hayes and Bianca Hayes, a heartless couple that doesn’t care about anyone. Not even their only son’ my face was filled with a sarcastic smile. “Today, I, Wyatt Hayes sever ties with the Hayes family. I won’t have anything to do with them starting from today” I uttered with an expressionless face with my hoarse voice echoing through the dining hall, Bianca Hayes' stomach tied a knot when she heard my words, “that is ridiculous Wyatt, you’re our only child. How can you sever ties with us”

“Yes, that is absurd. When you’re done with your tantrums you get ready to pay a visit to the Princeton mansion.” Without saying a word, I swirled and stepped out of the dining room and out of the house. I got into the black Rolls Royce Phantom parked in front of the mansion. Grayson went to the hotel to pick up my car and drove it back to Hayes villa when we were inside. He glanced at me through the rearview mirror and sighed deeply before firing the ignition and sped off from the district.

Nate Hayes and Bianca Hayes were still sitting in the dining hall with stunned expressions, ‘did he really sever ties with us!’ Mrs. Hayes was lost in thought as she couldn’t possibly believe what had happened. The whole house became dead silent as the couple gaped into space with different thoughts running through their mind.

In the parking lot of Crystal hotel, Grayson stepped out of the Rolls Royce Phantom and opened the back door for me. I followed the back elevator and made my way to the thirtieth floor where there is only one presidential suite. I verified my card and walked into the room, I took out the pack of cigarettes on the table. Lit it and dragged the smoke, puffing it out slowly. With dark eyes, I stared at the sky with a murderous glint and huffed, “this is what you get for overthinking things” I said to myself as I dragged the second smoke and puffed it in the air.
