REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Victoria’s POV

“Where did you say you were going again”? Sonia asked with a sleepy voice. “I’ve told you countless times, I’m going to the hospital. Doctor Francis called and said I should come to the hospital.” I said those words and picked up my bag.

“Is everything okay?” she asked, sounding worried.

“I think so. See you later.”

I left the apartment and took a taxi to the hospital. Within Few minutes I was already at the hospital waiting for doctor Francis.

“Doctor Francis is busy right now, but you can go in and see your aunt.” A nurse announced to me.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“Thank you.” I stood on my feet and walked to my aunt’s room. Before opening the door, I took a deep breath and composed myself.

I stepped into the room and saw my aunt lying on the bed, the same way I saw her a week ago.

I sighed in pain and sat on the chair beside her.

“Hello aunt Olivia.” I held her hand and noticed it was cold and lifeless.

I stared around the room and saw series of wires connected to her, which made me gulp in pain and glared back at her.

“It’s been three years, aunt Oli, and I’m still waiting for you to wake up.” I whispered in tears, and just then the door opened, and doctor Francis walked in with a smile on his face.

“How are you, Vicky?”

“Very well doctor.”I responded.

He smiled at me before sitting at the other side of the bed.

“I know you are anxious and eager to hear what I’m about to say.”

“Yes, doctor.”I responded tensely

He nodded his head and stared at my aunt before staring at me.

“There is a machine and some pills that can wake her up and permanently cure you.” he announced with a big smile on his face.

“Really.” I asked, excited.

“Yeah, the machine, and drugs have been proven and tested few months ago.” He added.

“Thank you, gracious Lord.” I whispered in relief.

“Yeah, it’s good news, but…” he paused and stared at me with pity.

“What’s the matter?” I asked and uncomfortably moved in my seat.

“It’s very expensive,” he muttered and shook his head.

“Very expensive, like how much are we talking about here”. I asked,

He glared at me, then back to my aunt before replying. “Fifty thousand dollars.” he whispered.

“What!.”I exclaimed in shock, “That’s fucking expensive.”I grumbled.

“Yeah, it’s a new machine. That’s why it’s this expensive, Vicky. You know your aunt is dying gradually as the day goes by.” He uttered those words with pity.

Hearing those words from him made me close my eyes, trying to suppress the tears threatening to run down my cheek.

“If we don’t use this machine and drugs on her within the next three months, then we are going to actually lose her”. He spoke firmly.

Hearing those words from him, I couldn’t hold the tears any longer.

How on Earth will I be able to raise fifty thousand dollars in three months.

“Vicky.”he calls out my name,

I opened my eyes and met his worried face.

“You’ve done your best, and I know your aunt will be proud of you even if she doesn’t make it.”he stood on his feet, came closer to me and tapped my shoulder. ”If she doesn’t make it, never blame yourself.” he added those words and was about leaving when I called him back.

I stood on my feet and wiped off the tears from my eyes.

“You said three months, right ?”. I asked, While He stared at me confused before replying

“Yes,”

“I will get you the money in three months.” I said those words to him.

He stared at me with disbelief, but did not say a word.

“I’ll take my leave now.” I said those words and left the room.

I left the hospital and took a taxi back home, but I stopped at a coffee shop to clear my head.

I went to the coffee shop and ordered a cup of coffee, and within few minutes it was brought to me.

A young man took the seat in front of me as I was about to take a sip of my coffee.

He has a set of sea blue eyes that I noticed when I stared at him. Green eyes and brown eyes were common among people, but sea-blue eyes were very rare to see anyone having.

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”, he spoke in a familiar voice. I knew I’d heard.

”It can’t be him.” I whispered to myself, while he chuckled softly, and I realized he must have heard me.

“DOM Eli?”. I asked in shocked. “In the outside world, my real name is Elliot.” he spoke calmly.

I stared at him and realized he was indeed DOM Eli, his kind of eyes were too rare to be seen.

“Aren’t you supposed to be hiding your identity from me?” I murmured. “I don’t hide it from everyone.” He talked sharply,

I nodded my head and took a sip of my coffee and was about to say something when a man dressed in black jeans and a black jacket came over and whispered something into his ear.

He glared at me for a while before nodding his head to the man.

“I’ll be out in a few minutes.” He said those words as an order to the man, who nodded his head and walked away.

“Is everything okay.” I asked as soon as the man left.

“Yeah, that was one of my men. He came to inform me that I have a meeting in less than an hour.” he explained, while I hummed and looked away.

“Normally, when I saw you step into the coffee shop, I would have avoided you like I do to other submissive and workers at the bar. But when I noticed you looked sad and lost in thought, I just couldn’t ignore you.” he said those words while peering into my eyes like he was trying to pierce into my soul.

I swallowed nervously and took a sip of my coffee. “Are you okay?” he asked while staring at me with so much curiosity.

“I’m fine.” I mumbled and looked away.

He stared at me for a second before standing on his feet. “You would make a good submissive, but unfortunately, I don’t do newbies.” he flashed me a big grin and walked away,

“Fuck you!”. I murmured to myself, but he turned around and glared at me with a bigger grin on his face. “I know you wish to fuck me, but it won’t be that easy.” he said those words with a devilish smile on his face and walked out of the coffee shop.

I froze in my seat in disbelief.

How on earth could he hear me from such a distance.
