The Alpha's Trapped Mate

My world comes crashing down and my heart feels heavy as I stare at the man I once called father. 'Once' because he doesn't deserve to be one anymore. I used to think he would change but no, he is proving me wrong this moment. I can only cry. “You can't just marry me off. I'm not a commodity!” I scream but my voice is just croaky. “It's for the best Amelia. I have so many enemies. Marrying you off is one of the best, easiest way to ensure your safety and—mine as well,” my father says as he grabs a bottle of wine from the table. “The local police, the FBI, you can hire them. You have the money. Am I only worth one week surveillance to you?” “You are my asset! All women are assets to their fathers!” My father's raging voice resounds through the whole room but he chokes from the wine in the cup he was drinking. He coughs and takes a seat. I search the room for my mother to at least intervene and speak up for me but that woman who is always dominated by my father is somewhere in the m

When I saw him at home few minutes ago, I felt incredibly nervous and frightened. He's extremely tall and muscular.The expensive cloth mum made me wear makes me feel like a rich prostitute. Some fancy cloth that push my breast upwards, enough to make a man drool.And now, what just happened in the car? Was he actually going to do it in the car?I clench my fist as he leads me into his house that looks ravishing with porcelain tiles. Everything in the room is so white and a little touch of blue. I can't believe his dark self would want to be surrounded by so much purity and innocence.I want to throw up. The nauseating feeling in the pit of my stomach from having him kiss me so deep hasn't subsided. I never felt so defeated. My life is no longer my own as I will be a slave to Lorenzo, just like my mother is a slave to my father, the mafia boss' associate.Lorenzo bends to my level as soon as we were standing in the centre of the room to whisper something to my ear. “Your personal maid

Leo halts the car in the company's garage and I quickly step down. I watch him adjust his suit while waiting for me to lead the way.“Keep your distance,” I warn as I take one last look at my outfit. The idea of putting on such a long jacket over such pretty dress just to obey Lorenzo force my fists to clench.I step into the large lobby with white marble flooring and approach a brunette at the other side.“Hi, welcome to Berg oil company. How may I help you?" the brunette asks with a smile.“I'm here for an interview. I got a mail this morning,” I say hesitantly.“Your name, please."“Amelia Clayton."The brunette punches some keys on the keyboard and looks up after few seconds. “Take the elevator to floor sixteen, room ten. The CEO is there already."CEO? I made to ask but bite back the question. “And good luck Ms Amelia." I smile at her, then I notice her ogle at Leo. I want to keep quiet to know if Leo would be thrown out but its of no use, its either I end up not coming back to B

I know Leo must have seen and misinterpreted the complicating position I was in with Neil and he is definitely going to tell Lorenzo and then, I’ll be in trouble. I might not secure this job then.I walk behind Leo in thoughts. He holds the car door open for me and I slip in, making sure to look peripherally at his impassive face. I swallow hard. How do I start to explain things to him?He slips into the car and starts the engine. After few minutes of driving on the road, I clear my throat. Better to say whatever I have to say before we get home. “Look Leo, I almost fell to the floor...”He jerks the car to a stop in the middle of the road and sharply turns to me. My heart begin to pound roughly against my chest. “Did he push you?”“No... I mean, I tripped and I almost fell but he, the CEO saved me.”“I thought as much. You’d never cheat on Lorenzo unless you want to die,” Leo says and steer the car. I exhale partly in relief and partly because of nervousness and anxiety; he might sti

"Watch where you're going," the man shouts and continue on his way.Lily helps me up and in a blink, I sight Leo grabbing the man by his jacket and shoving him next to the wall of the nearest building."Who sent you?" He asks through gritted teeth. The man's eyes widens, his chest begin to rise and fall in fear and shock. "Do you have any idea who you just knocked to the ground?""N-n-no," the man stutters. I can clearly hear his ragged breaths and I feel he must have wet his pants. "I'm so sorry. I should have watched where I was going. It's my fault.""You just disrespected the capo of Chicago." Leo's grip on the man gets tighter. "What's your name?"The man begins to sweat. I feel for him. He didn't do any heavy crime. He only bumped into me."G-Gaith Keller.""Where do you live?""Thompson street, f-few blocks away."Leo lets Gaith go and he runs so fast that we are unable to see him anymore within seconds."Are you alright?" Leo asks and holds up my arms to see if there's any in
