BOUND TO THE RUTHLESS ALPHA のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Soraya's POVDarius stood there with one hand in his pocket, that same cold aura around him.“Why were the two of you chasing her around like a pair of lunatics?” he asked calmly but in a dangerous way.The guards exchanged nervous glances. “S-sir, she just managed to slip past us,” one of them stammered. “We didn’t let her in, we swear. We just tried to catch her—”Darius’ gaze turned to me, his voice softening. “You okay?”I nodded. “Yeah… I’m fine.”His eyes turned back to the guards. “Why didn’t you let her inside?”“Boss, you stated the rules,” one of them replied nervously. “No one without an ID or permission card is allowed in. We were just following orders.”Darius paused. “If she was so insistent about seeing me, then why didn’t one of you come to my office to inform me she was here?”The men went silent. They didn't say a word, just blank, guilty faces.“I get that you’re doing your job,” Darius said slowly, “but the fact that you didn’t let her in pisses me off.”The guard

Soraya's POVThe moment Darius and Sam walked out, I was left alone in the office. I turned to the laptop on the desk, pressing the power button gently. It blinked on thankfully, it wasn’t locked, just in sleep mode.I didn’t know much about computers, but I did know how to find my way around a few things. So, I opened the start menu, scrolling through until I saw a few games. Motor Kombat? Asphalt? Chess? There were so many.“Does he even play all these?” I muttered under my breath, smiling faintly.Just then, there was a knock on the door. I froze. Should I even answer? Darius wasn’t here. “Come in?”The door swung open, and a woman stepped in. She was tall, wearing a light-brown hair, blue fitted dress, and heels. Her makeup was perfect, subtle yet noticeable. She looked pretty.“Oh,” she said, glancing around. “Mr. Dovenia isn’t here?”I shook my head.“No, he’s in a meeting.”“I see.” She walked in further, holding a file against her chest. “You must be Soraya.”I blinked. “I am

Darius’ POV“But what happened that got you so riled up?” I asked softly, gazing at her.She looked away slowly. I didn’t understand how she even found out about Stella. Not that I was hiding anything but my ex was not important to me, so I never spoke about it. I had been with Soraya before I went for the meeting, came back and suddenly she was upset.The curtains, the comments she made about me loving someone else. Where did it all that even come from?I rubbed the back of my neck, trying to make sense of it. I hadn’t spoken to Stella in months. Whatever Soraya had seen or heard must’ve twisted things in her mind.Seeing her looking hurt, broke my heart. I hated that she cried so much. I hated even more that I was the reason. Still, a small part of me couldn’t deny the strange warmth in my chest. Her tears meant she cared deeply about our relationship. It meant she knew her place in my heart and she didn’t want to share it with anyone else.“Soraya,” I called softly. “Tell me.”“Um,

Soraya's POVI felt when he pulled me towards him last night but I didn't open my eyes, it felt really good. Now it was morning and I just stayed there, refusing to move. Gosh, I was going to be late for school. But then again, he was still lying down too. Maybe he was asleep, at least that’s what I told myself until I felt him press a soft kiss into my hair.“You’re going to be late for school, you know?”My cheeks burned immediately. I knew it. He just had to be awake. He always got up on time and never once overslept. I bit my lip and snuggled closer instead.“What time is it?” I mumbled.He shifted a little, probably checking the clock. “It’s 6:20 a.m.”“I still have some time,” I whispered. “I’d make it way before 8.”He chuckled softly against my ear. “So, you’re enjoying this?”I nodded shyly. “Mm-hmm.”“You came into my room last night,” I said quietly, finally looking up at him.Darius’ lips curved into a faint smile. “Well I was having trouble sleeping,” he said. “And I kne

Soraya's POV“Shit, I can’t believe I forgot,” I muttered, pacing back and forth in my bedroom. My heart was pounding so hard in my ears. Forgetting the book was really bad. That notebook had everything, from my notes, my group’s ideas, all the points we had jotted down for tomorrow’s presentation.If I didn’t have it, I was done for. I’d flop at the presentation, and not just that, I’d fail myself, fail my group, and probably mess up my grades. I have been doing so much to keep up, trying to get good grades and make Darius proud.I ran a hand through my hair, breathing hard. “Okay, think, Soraya, think,” I muttered. But all that came to mind was that stupid empty bench where I must’ve left it. I dashed out of my room, nearly missing a step as I hurried downstairs. My heart was pounding in my chest, and my mind was a mess. How could I forget it? Of all things, how could I forget that book?“Miss, are you okay? What happened? Why are you running?” Irene asked, stepping out from the ha
