37. All over the internet

Vera's point of view:

It was a tiring day, doing the charity work wasn't easy but I enjoyed it. It was actually fun to do.

When I arrived home, it was past nine. Mr. Green eyes is not yet back.

Mr. Green eyes?

I think I should be calling him Alpha instead. I love the sound.

After freshening up, I took the elevator down to the ground floor to have my dinner. I wanted to wait for Alpha to come home so that we could eat together but I couldn't. I was excited today and didn't eat when Nina and her aunt tried to make me eat… now I'm feeling the effects of it, I'm damn hungry.

I sat on the table while Ruth and Ava served me.

”Where's Bella?" I asked.

“Uhm… she was having a running stomach, it was critical and drained all her energy," Ava replied.

“Running stomach? What did she eat? Has she seen a doctor? Is she okay now?" I asked all the questions in my mind at once.

Ava smiled and took her time in replying to me. “I don't know if it's what she ate that caused it but she has already seen a doctor. Sir Angus called the doctor over. The doctor has given her medications and said that she will be fine after taking some rest."

I was relieved after listening to her. Thank goodness Bella is now okay.

After eating, I went to see Bella. She was sleeping when I went to her room. I left because I didn't want to wake her up. Like Ava said, she needed rest. I will see her tomorrow.

Returning to Alpha's bedroom, I slumped on the bed. I need a good rest. I haven't slept for long when I felt something soft on my forehead. I opened my eyes and they fell on Alpha.

I smiled. I thought I would fall deeply asleep without seeing him. But I'm glad he came back before I did.

“Are you happy to see me?" He asked in his always deep sexy voice. Nina told me that voices which sound like this are sexy and I think she's right.

I nod my head to his question, smiling and blushing. I'm actually happy to see him.

“I'm happy to see you too," he said and kissed my lips softly.

I blushed harder and that was it, all the sleepiness and tiredness vanished from me. I sat up from the bed with glistening eyes, showing that I have a lot to talk about.

As if sensing what I wanted to do, Alpha said. “Little bunny, I know that you have a lot to say, I can see it in your eyes but you should wait, let me take my bath first and join you in bed."

I nodded in agreement. He kissed my lips softly once again before walking into the bathroom.

After a few minutes, he was done and joined me in bed. He drew me close to himself like always which I love staying in that position with him.

I excitedly narrated how my day went today, especially the charity work I did with Nina and her aunts.

“Wow! You did charity work. I'm so proud of you little bunny," he kissed my forehead. I blush slightly. I'm happy that he's proud of what I did.

“Thank you Alpha." I saw a bit of surprise on his face.

“Alpha?"

“Yes," I replied with a huge grin.

“Why not Dominic. Why Alpha?"

“I like Alpha. That's what I will call you from now on."

He didn't say anything. Then something came to my head. I need to tell him about my sister's pre-wedding ceremony.

“Ehm, my grandma called. She wants me to come to my family house tomorrow, it's my sister's pre-wedding ceremony. In my family, we do a pre-wedding ceremony ritual before the main wedding. Grandma said it has been a custom formed by our family years ago."

“Do you want me to come with you?"

“No, you don't need to bother. I know that you have lots of work to do. I will be fine. Besides, you have already assigned four guards to go with me anywhere that I desire to go," I replied.

“Okay, if you say so." He kissed my hair. He has been kissing and kissing me since tonight. It makes me blush.

…

Tomorrow morning, I woke up with a bright smile on my face but the moment I realized that Alpha is not in the room, I felt sad. He should have woken me up so that I will see him before he leaves for work.

I pouted and climbed the bed as I walked inside the bathroom. After taking my bath. I got dressed. I wore the red dress Nina forced me to buy the day we went shopping. We also got a silver heel to match the dress.

After dressing up, I styled my hair in a simple style, applied a little make and walked out of the room.

I went to Bella's room. She's already awake and I'm glad to see her healthy.

“Good Morning ma'am," she greets.

I smiled. “Morning Bella, how are you feeling now?"

“I'm fine ma'am, thank you for caring about my health," she replied.

“You are my friend Bella, of course I should. Take a day off today and rest. You can start work tomorrow."

“Ma'am you are so generous but I'm fine. I can start work today."

“No Bella, I insist."

After making sure that Bella will take a rest today. I left the mansion after having a simple breakfast.

I felt a bit nervous. I don't know if I'm ready to meet my mother and sisters. I just hope that they won't ruin my day as they always do.

If not for Grandma, I won't go to this pre-wedding ceremony. Is not as if Winfred will be happy to see me in her pre-wedding ceremony.

The pre-wedding ceremony is just a small ritual where a priest will be invited to pray for the couples so that nothing bad will happen on the day of their wedding.

After an hour's drive, the driver finally parked the black luxurious car in my family's house parking lot as I instructed him.

The other black car also drove in, the bodyguards took the other car. That's how it has been. It's tiring but what can I do? Alpha won't listen to me. He insisted we move this way. I suggested that the guards should ride in the same car with me because I don't like the idea of going anywhere that I want to go with two cars but he said no.

“Vera!" Lyn screamed my name the moment I entered the living room with my bodyguards. She quickly came to hug me.

Okay, what's going on here? Is this Lyn or her duplicate?

“I'm so happy you made it Vera," she added after disengaging from the hug. “Oh! My God Vera, you look so beautiful. This dress looks expensive."

This is getting me confused. Am I dreaming or what? I raised my brows towards grandma who's also in the living room but she just shrugged her shoulders. I'm sure she's confused as I am. Lyn has never been happy to see me so what's going on?

“Vera, you are here already." That's Winfred. The bright smile on her face also got me muddled. “Thank you for making it to my pre-wedding ceremony. I wanted to invite you but grandma said that she had already invited you. So I waited for you to grace the invitation and I'm glad you did."

Wait… I think that I'm definitely dreaming. What has come over my sisters?

“Are these your bodyguards?" Lyn asked.

“Yes," I replied. They didn't seem shocked about it as I expected because I believe that they know that I can't afford a bodyguard.

“Vera honey," grandma calls gently. Winfred gave her the way to hug me. I hugged her warmly, I really miss grandma.

“Thanks for coming honey, you changed so much my dear. Is it because you now have a boyfriend?"

I chuckled. The boyfriend grandma is probably talking about is Stephen. He was the one that Alpha asked to come with me to grandma's birthday party.

“How is Stephen?" She asked.

“Grandma Stephen is no longer her boyfriend." Lyn quickly said before I could open my mouth and reply to grandma's question. But what does Lyn mean? Did she know anything that she shouldn't have known?

“Her boyfriend is Dominic Rodriguez, the richest business man in America," she added.

Dominic Rodriguez? Does she mean Alpha but how did she know that he's my boyfriend? Well, fake boyfriend. I think they don't know about that part and it's fortunate that they don't know.

Wait…. I think they are treating me nice because Dominic Rodriguez is my boyfriend. How can I forget how much my sisters loves money? But I'm yet to understand how they find out that Alpha is my boyfriend.

“What do you mean Lyn?" Grandma.

“Grandma, Lyn is right. It's all over the internet," Winifred said.

All Over the internet?!
