Chapter 5 CH:4

Aveline's POV

'Was this a sign from the moon goddess to reject this offer,' I thought staring at the door, waiting for the person behind.

Soon two servants walked inside, wrapped in each other's arms, kissing passionately, they were lost in each other's arms as they couldn't notice that there were people in the room.

I turned immediately confused and looked at Natasha waiting for her too blow up because I knew she would.

Her eyes widened in shock, her face reddening with rage, "what the..., You have the audacity to do this in the Alpha's office, how dare you," she said pointing a finger at the pair, her voice rising to a furious crescendo.

The servers looked like they had just seen death, but who would blame them, anyone who wrong the alpha family is as good as dead.

"We beg for your mercy, we have committed a grave sin," they said bowing their heads on the floor.

"An apology won't cut it, you think you could walked in here and commit all sorts of indecencies and then walk away with just an apology, that's the heights of disrespect," Natasha said breathing heavily, one would think she was the owner of the office.

As Johan looked at the the servants, his eyes darkened with rage, but what caught my attention was the flicker of emotion in his eyes, it wasn't the regular rage, he was struggling to compose himself next to Natasha.

What could get him ruled up like this.

"How many times have you done this," he said his voice coated with fury.

The servants trembled, sweats gathering on their foreheads, looks like they did this all the time as they couldn't provide an answer.

"I'm sorry, this won't happen ever again," the lady said with pleading eyes

"How many times have you done this," Johan said again this time in a louder voice taking out a dagger from his pockets and putting it on her neck.

Why was he so focus on the lady and not the man.

"We do this whenever you're not around, but it won't happen again, I promise," she said with a hint of familiarity in her tone while the man had been quiet.

Natasha's face contorted in anger, she paced back and forth probably thinking of ways she could tear their skin.

"So you've been doing this for a longtime, you dare to sully the honor of this office with your filthy affections, you will pay dearly for your audacity," Natasha said signalling to one of the guards to take them away.

"Please, forgive me," the lady said tears gathering up in her eyes. "Johan, you can't let her do this to me, leave me alone," she said struggling to get out of the grip of the guards.

Johan? She dared to call the next alpha by his name?

"What disrespect, they should know their place," she said then slumped into one of the office chairs, I knew she was directing the last statement to me but I didn't care, she could say anything she wants.

"So back to where we stopped, are you going to take our proposal," Johan said with a smirk on his face, I needed him and he knew.

"What other choice does she have than to accept, that shouldn't even be a question," Natasha sneered.

"I have other choices," I said to myself, I searched for every other choice I had but I couldn't find any, I was stuck and this was my only saving grace.

"Say something, you fool, we're doing you a favour here," Natasha yelled out suddenly trying to make me feel inferior, so typical of her.

"I'll...," I opened my mouth to speak but the words got caught in my throat, I needed it, that was the only way out but I couldn't bring myself to say it.

"Make a decision already, you're wasting everyone's time, you know you have no other choice," Natasha said standing up and taking her bag.

I summoned the courage and said "I'll do it," my voice was almost inaudible but was loud enough for everyone one to hear.

"You'll do what?" Natasha asked with a silly smile on her face, she was enjoying this, she enjoyed seeing me broken.

"I will carry your child for you as a surrogate," I said swallowing all the curses I wanted to rain on them.

"Good, that's the best option for you, oh I forgot you didn't have any," Johan said they both erupted with laughter.

"Sign the papers," Natasha said throwing a file to my direction.

I scan it with my eyes before signing it, after seeing that there was no clause saying otherwise, I signed it and returned it back to her.

I felt like I had just sold my soul, my pride, my dignity but those won't pay my debts I had to let them go.

"Good, we'll be seeing you then, shall we?" Natasha said gesturing to Johan to hold her hands.

"Of course," he replied , they left hand in hand making soft giggles.

I fell to the ground holding my chest, it felt hard to breathe, as I gasped for air the guards raised me up and threw me out of the office.

I stumbled, gasping for air but the guards didn't care, they left.

I staggered to the exit avoiding all the eyes staring at me and piercing into my soul, some gave me a pitiful look while some sneered at me but I didn't care, not like they could help me.

"Oh shit," I hissed, remembering I had no money to take a carriage, I walked towards a bench and sat on it wondering why my life had to be like this.

After siting for some time, I gathered the courage and strength to walk to my parent's house, even if they hated me, I am going to help their daughter secure her place so they would at least let me live.

I walked for what seemed like hours, maybe it was, the scorching heat was slowly evaporating every moisture in my skin leaving it dry and cracked.

I looked ahead and day my parents house, a temporary joy filled my heart but it quickly faded away as soon as I reached their doorstep.

'knock knock'

A maid came out to open the door for me, she didn't greet me nor showed any form of respect, but I don't blame her we are of the same level, she is even far off better than me.

As I entered I saw my step dad siting at the dinning table, beside him was my step mom but what caught my attention was the man siting next to then with a smug smile on his face.
