I stared at Stacy. “Like what?” “Well, kiss or touch you?” I looked away and bit my lower lip. “Yes, Constantine kissed me once, and I withdrew since I didn’t feel it was the right thing to do.” Stacy patted her chin with her finger. “If you must choose between Ethan and Constantine, which one will you pick?” “Ethan, for sure. Should you ask?” I giggled and rolled my eyes. “With him, I feel safe and comfortable. They are handsome and sexy, but Ethan is more protective.” I smiled and let out a sigh. “Besides, I love him.” “Ah, it’s hard to beat. But if Constantine keeps pursuing you, will you give him a chance?” I shook my head. “No, unless something happens between Ethan and me.” “But he is a generous gifter. May I see the box?” I handed over the box. Stacy opened the lid and whistled as she touched the fabric. “Silk! Whoa! He is wealthy and generous.” “I have already had Ethan.” I reminded Stacy. “I’ll return the gift to him.” “But how about if you try it just once? I want
The Alpha King and I Chapter 53: Constantine vs Ethan
~ Freya ~ I was torn. On one side, I liked Ethan more than Constantine. It was clear he loved Helena and she loved him too. However, on the other hand, Constantine was a royalty, and he could give Helena a more stable life. It was true Ethan was wealthy too, but considering Ethan was away on business, who would know if Helena would be frequently alone in the future? I took a deep breath. “My daughter is a special one indeed. She is kind and sweet.” “I can’t agree more. Helena told me you were her adoptive mother.” “It’s true.” “Ah, I see. So may I know what happened with Helena’s parents?” I took a deep breath. “Helena’s parents have passed away. So I raised Helena as my daughter.” “It is a great sacrifice to raise someone else’s child as yours, isn’t it?” I shook my head. “No, it isn’t. Though Helena isn’t my flesh and blood, I feel she is my daughter. I love her, and raising her is not a sacrifice.” “Even you cannot marry?” I gasped because of the question. “It’s not your
The Alpha King and I Chapter 54: A Blackmail
I was busy since it was Monday. I had forgotten about the flower and the gift from Constantine. Yet Stacy called me again at 5 p.m. to come to the front table while I was at the side of the library, returning the books to the shelves. After finishing my work, I finally walked to the front table. When she saw me, Stacy said, “Hey, guess what?” “What?” “You have more presents coming.” “Oh?” Stacy pointed at two boxes on the table. “Open them! I’m curious to see what the gifts and who the senders are.” I took the cards from two boxes. After flipping it, I smiled. One of them was from Ethan. The note said, ‘My darling, I ordered this for you. I hope the bracelet will remind you of me. Take care. Ethan.’ I immediately opened the box and grinned as I saw a beautiful bracelet. Stacy took a peek and smiled. “Constantine again?” “Not this time. It’s from Ethan! Oh, I’m so happy!” “Wow, let me see!” I showed the box to Stacy while wondering if the second box was from Ethan too. “W
The Alpha King and I Chapter 55: I Want You Badly
“That’s the problem. When we had dinner, Constantine sat in front of me. So it’s impossible for him to drug me without me seeing him. I don’t know how he did it.” “Do you want me to go with you?” I shook my head. “No, I told the girl to tell him I would choose the place. So if he did it the first time, drugging me, he can’t do it now.” “Be careful, Helena. Be careful.” “I know.” When we left the library by the end of the working hour, I decided to return the dress and the shoes to Constantine. Both were beautiful, but accepting the gifts felt like cheating on Ethan already. Since he was far away, I shouldn’t make him worry. Constantine waited in a red Ferrari. Later, he got out of his car and approached me. He said, “My darling, why haven’t you worn the dress and the shoes I sent you?” He tilted his head. “Are they not suitable for your taste?” “Can we talk in your car?” Constantine smiled and nodded. “Sure. Sorry for my manner.” We walked to his car, and he opened the door
The Alpha King and I Chapter 56: Half-Brother
Constantine smiled smugly. “What if I say he shared it with me?” “No way!” I shook my head. “ I don’t believe you.” “It is up to you to believe me or not. However, I know you haven’t shared Ethan’s bed. Otherwise, you won’t be here. Unless ....” He stared at me with gleaming in his eyes. “Unless what?” “Nothing.” Constantine ran his fingers to my cheek. “You are beautiful.” His eyes stared at my eyes, then at my lips. His finger followed later. “If you choose me, I can promise you the world. Wealth and power will be yours.” “Choose you?” I wrinkled my forehead. “What do you mean?” “Didn’t your mother tell you anything?” I frowned. “About what?” Constantine touched my chin. “I met your mother to ask for your hand in marriage.” “What?!” “Please, listen to me first.” He rubbed my hair. “I know you and Ethan are lovers, yet I offer you to be my wife. You will be a royalty too. Being my wife means you no longer need to work, and everyone will respect you.” Constantine smiled as
The Alpha King and I Chapter 57: Makeover Plan
“So how was your day?” Constantine asked. “It’s good, I guess. Why?” Constantine was not the type of person who loved the small talk. I concluded it from our first dinner. So, it was weird to receive a daily question from him. “Nothing. I just tried to chat with you. Have you thought of my offer?” Constantine raised his hand. The server immediately came. “Yes, sir?” “The drink, where is the drink?” “Right away, sir.” Then the server left in a hurry, maybe because of Constantine’s impressive appearance or intimidating aura. In a few minutes, the server served us red wine. “Enjoy, sir, madam.” We sipped the wine, and I had to admit the wine was excellent. Why had the servers never served this wine every time I visit here? It was annoying to know appearance was important here. “Helena? What do you think? You are frowning,” Constantine said. “It’s weird that they have a great wine like this. Before, I regularly visited this place, and they have never served me the same wine.” He
The Alpha King and I Chapter 58: Friends?
“Thank you, Stan. It’s flattering. But as we both know, I have already had a boyfriend.” I smiled and patted his hand. “Friends?” Constantine sighed, but he finally nodded. “If it is what you can offer me, I will take it for now.” I was relieved and confused at the same time. Constantine blackmailed me into having dinner with him, but gave up so quickly when I asked to be friends with him. Also regarding the makeover offer, was I wrong to judge him? Maybe he wasn’t so bad after all. After finishing the main dish, the server finally came with the dessert. I enjoyed my ice cream. “Is it good?” I nodded. “Want to try it?” “Sure!” I moved my ice cream bowl in front of Constantine. But then he shook his head. “Spoon it, please?” I giggled. “What are you? A five-year-old?” “Come on. It is not hard to spoon the ice.” I finally spooned him, and he smiled, so similar to Ethan. Maybe my longing for Ethan created the illusion, but I missed him badly now. “Helena?” I blinked. “Yes
The Alpha King and I Chapter 59: The Makeover
The following day, Constantine did as he said. He picked me up by 6 a.m. and dropped me at a famous beauty salon in Moon City half hour later. The hairdresser bowed to Constantine. “Good morning. Lord Constantine, right? You come with a new beauty. Let me handle her, and you will be surprised when I have done with her.” Constantine nodded. “I want her to look the best but as elegant as possible.” The hairdresser clicked his tongue. “Naughty! You pick sexy for one and elegant for another. I guess this one is for the lady, huh?” “Said no more.” Constantine glanced at me. “All said, he is the best. So, I will leave you in his hand. I will pick you up—” Constantine asked the hairdresser, “—when will you finish?” “By noon is the best. No need to hurry so I can give the best result.” Constantine nodded. “Okay, I leave now.” Then he patted my shoulder and left. The hairdresser smiled at me. “Okay, sweetie, what’s your name?” “Helena, and you?” “Johnny. Come here. Sit and let me look
