ONE NIGHT WITH THE ALPHA

5

Gown checked, make-up checked, money in my purse checked and shoes checked, I was hot and on fire tonight and nothing can stop me from getting to my goals tonight.

Checking my reflection in the mirror, I smiled before heading out, locking the door behind me.

Crossing the busy street while focusing on the casino that was right in front of me, getting to the entrance, and showing my ID card that I was old enough, the bouncer opened the door for me to go in. Taking a deep breath and saying a little prayer I walked in.

I scanned through the room to check if I could see him but tonight was busier than the first time I came here, guess the popularity of this place must have spiked up since I last visited.

‘This is going to be a difficult task for me but for now, let’s just play around the casino. Hopefully, our luck will spark tonight and we get to see him, your father' I said to myself while rubbing my stomach.

I head straight to the game table where I lost all my money last time hoping to get a little bit of hope this time around.

“I am in,” I told them as I sat on the seat and gave the game guy to change three thousand dollars to the game coins and the game began.

I was losing badly and the mystery Mr. Kyle wasn’t here or did he lie to me about being a regular here.

“Lady in black are you in or not,” said one of the men in a suit while tapping my shoulders.

“Yeah I am in, I am putting all my coins on this one,” I told them betting all my coins and pushing them to the middle where other coins were placed, I was getting bored and if I keep stalling here I won’t be able to find him, next place to check would be at the bar, I have a huge feeling the bartender might know him and have information about him since he was the one that delivered the drink to my table.

I was lost in thoughts for a moment until I heard congratulations ma and checking the game board, I was shocked I won, the lucky number I called out to the game man was having the dice on it.

“Congratulations, he said pushing all the coins to me

“Can I get something to pack them in?” I asked him and he nodded as he pointed to a lady who was wearing a black bikini and she rushed to the table and he whispered something to her before she held over to me.

“This way ma'am, I will show you where you can cash the coins,” she said while smiling at me, revealing her perfect set of white teeth.

“Thank you very much,” I told her, standing up from my seat while she helped me with the coin and leading the way I followed suit until we got to the cashier at the far end of the casino. She handed the coins over to him and bidding me farewell she excused herself and I was left alone with the cashier.

“You need the money in cash or transferred to your account?” asked the cashier

“Hmm, sorry to ask but how much is the money?” I asked him

“1.5 million dollars,” said the cashier, and I screamed out in excitement, wow I know it’s not much to some people but to me, It’s much and I felt rich, this can help me start a business while I take care of my kids that’s if my purpose of coming back wasn’t fulfilled.

I don’t have to rent an apartment since I would be kicking Zack out of my apartment soon.

“Ma’am which would you prefer, cash or bank?” asked the cashier, who was now raising his eyebrows at me wondering where I spaced out too.

“Bank please,” I told her

“Your details,” she asked, giving her everything she needed to make the transfer easy to work on. After a few minutes, I got the alert on my phone.

‘This calls for celebration tonight, I got something even if I couldn’t get the other thing’ I said to myself as I headed towards the bar.

I saw the same bartender who Mr. Kyle gave the drinks to give to me, tonight must be my lucky night because everything was working out well in my favor.

“I need the regular,” I told him and I watched him as he mixed the drinks together.

“Here you go ma'am,” he said, handing me the drink. I was about to take a sip from the alcohol when I remembered I was pregnant.

Scratch that, I am going to miss my fun wildlife thanks to the baby growing in my womb.

“I am sorry but I can't drink this but I will pay for it,” I told him

“Why do you want to return the best drink, you don’t like it?” he asked me.

“I love it trust me but some foreseen circumstances can’t make me drink it,” I told him, “I will have to go for water or something nonalcoholic,” I told him and he smiled probably he would have figured out my situation

“Aright, here you go, this one is on the house,” he said with a smile on his face.

“Thank you, please can I ask you a question or rather I am looking for someone and I don’t know if you know his whereabouts,” I told him

“Who is he and does he come to the casino often?” he asked me.

“Yeah he does, he told me he is a regular at the casino and at your bar”

“If he is a regular here then trust me, honey, I got you covered. What’s his name?”

“Kyle,” I told him

“There are many boys or men in here that bear the name Kyle, any last name or other names,” he asked and I shook my head, and I could see his facial expression dropping to an ‘I am sorry I can't help you' he was about to say something when I cut in.

“No last name but he did say something, something like wolf, beastly bad wolf,” I told him and he froze, not saying anything as he kept staring at me.

“Well!!!!”

“How did you know that name and who are you?” he asked me with a stern husky voice, replacing the once lovely cheerful voice.

“You do know him, well you see there is a little bit of a situation and I would love to see him because this is important,” I told the bartender.

“What’s so important that you need to see him?” he asked me

“I can’t say it out in the open,” I told him and he took a moment to search around the casino before looking back at me.

“Fine come with me,” he said leading the way, “James take over,” he said to the other bartender

“Yes, boss” came James' voice as he took over, while he led the way to a VIP lounge above the casino.

“Speak,” he said the moment we were inside the lounge and I cleared my throat before explaining things to him and then without saying a word he brought out his phone and he went out to make a call.

I was alone in the lounge for how long I didn’t know, I had to keep myself busy by taking a look around the lounge and then I heard the door open with a loud bang and there he was, the man who I couldn’t stop dreaming about and the father of my unborn child.

He is still the same from last time, just that his hair got longer but the built and everything was still intact and I couldn’t help but stare at him as he walked towards me and he stopped right in front of me.

I couldn’t help but notice how handsome and how built he is, he must be an angel or a model because no human can be handsome like him and I couldn’t help but gulp down my saliva and for a bit of a moment I felt suffocated by this man.

“H – h - h” I stammered, I couldn’t find my voice and I decided to clear my throat and decided to try again a second time “hello, nice to see you again,” I told him, alas finding my voice back again.

“What is it you want, I heard you are looking for me,” he said, raising one of his eyebrows as he gave me the stern look and I knew I was in deep s**t and I should face the reality that he wasn’t going to be friendly and calm like he was before.

“A little hello back won’t hurt,” I told him

“If you have nothing to say then I better take my leave, I am busy and have work to do,” he said as turned his back on me as he headed towards the door.

“I am pregnant, I am carrying your child” I yelled after him and he stopped, his hand on the handle of the door.

He turned around to face me and he took a step closer to me

“You expect me to believe a thief, who stole from me that you are carrying my child. Are you here to try and rob from me again or find a way to make money from me after knowing that I am wealthy? You are just a fraudster and a liar” he spat out.

I knew he wasn’t going to believe me, after all, I did steal from him but hearing him call me a fraudster and a liar spiked something in me, without thinking for a minute, I raised my hand and slapped him.

“How dare you” I yelled at him and then I realized what I did, I just slapped a stranger, the father of my baby and I gasped out, “I am sorry, it wasn’t intentional I was angry you said something harsh and wrong about me, I didn’t mean to hit you” I apologized to him.

“Are you angry because I know your secret?” he said with a smirk on his face, he wasn’t affected by the slap I gave him but rather he was insisting that he was right.

“Yes I am angry and no you don’t know my secret. Yes I stole from you because I needed money to start something up and I am deeply sorry but I am not lying about the pregnancy stuff, I am carrying your child” I told him.

“How do you expect me to believe that you are pregnant and even if you are pregnant, do you expect me to believe that, that thing growing inside of you is my child,” he said pointing to my stomach, “You left for a month and for what I know you might have been having your way with different boys and now you want to hold me responsible because I am ri--” I didn’t wait for him to finish his statement before giving him a blow on his face.

“Fvuck you Kyle and fvck your riches or whatever you meant by that, I won’t stand here and have you insult me by calling me a w***e. Just because I had a one-night stand with you doesn’t me I am like that, guess what that night with you was indeed my worst night ever and I regretted ever having s*x with you. All thanks to you and my stupid mistake I am stuck with your baby growing inside of me, do you think I will take a flight from Canada to Los Angeles because I want to tie you down with some pregnancy or take your money. You must be an asshole for that” I told him, hitting him hard on his chest.

“I made a mistake coming here and looking for you, burn to ashes,” I told him, picking my purse up from the cushion, rolling my eyes at him, I headed straight to the door and when I opened it I saw two men in suits blocking the door.

“Can you guys get the fvck out of my way?” I yelled at them, trying to hide the tears that were building up in my eyes.

“I am sorry lady but we weren’t given permission to let you leave,” one of them said.

“Please get out of my way please,” I said trying to push them off but they were stronger than I am and then I turned to face him but he was a few inches away from me.

“Can you tell your maniacs to let me through?” I told him and he smiled closing up the gap between us as he places his right hand on my stomach, I was shocked when he did it, I didn’t understand the reason and I wasn’t planning on letting him touch my body again even if his touch sent hot shivers all through my body and my legs were getting weaker when his hand moved a little to my left.

Gathering the last strength in me I pushed him far away from me and wrapped my hands around my stomach.

“W – w – what do you think you are doing?” I asked him

“How many weeks or months is your pregnancy?” he asked me

“Four weeks and why are you asking? I thought you didn’t believe that I was pregnant so what’s the sudden change in your assumption?” I asked him.

“I never said I didn’t believe that you are pregnant, all I said is that I don’t believe the baby is mine,” he said.

“If it wasn’t yours I wouldn't be coming to Los Angeles. I have someone who was ready to father the baby but I wanted the real father to get to see his child before leaving but seeing how ungrateful you are, I guess I will go meet him anyway. Now tell them to get their asses away from the door” I told him pointing to the two men on the four.

“You are coming with me,” he said, adjusting his suit.

“What? Coming with you to where?” I asked him, taking a step backward.

“Until the baby is born and a test is done to prove the child is mine, I won’t allow you out of my sight and you will bear your child in my kingdom until the test I carried out is brought to me, till then shall I give you your freedom,” he said.

“I ain’t following you to your house, kingdom, or whatever it is.”

“You have no choice,” he said whispering to me before looking up to the two men who were standing at the door, “Bring her along,” he said before storming out of the room.
