In search for my alpha mate

Mary POV

Stepping out of my black Mercedes-Benz, my heels clicked on the marble floor as I walked into the office building. My eyes landed on my personal assistant Rachel, who greeted me with a smile on her face.

"Good morning ma'am, permit me to say you look absolutely beautiful today." I find myself giving her a quick smile, while my eyes looked around the building.

"Thank you very much for the compliment Rachel. I have a meeting with the marketing team in 15 minutes." I looked at my wrist watch. "So, let's go and work." I said with a shrug.

While we walked to the elevator, my eyes landed on a young man who was standing at the receptionist desk, he was filling out a job application and I could not help but notice his attractive features.

He had a dark messy hair, and wore a faded T-shirt, which brings his muscles out to the public for full display.

Never had anyone made me stopped to look at them for another minute, but there was something amazing about this man that I find it hard to point out.

What was he doing in my company all dressed up in a rugged mMary r.?

When he turned around to look at me, I turned to the other side, where the elevator has been fully opened and Rachel stepped aside to allow me inside. We stepped into the elevator, with my attention still on the strange man across the lobby. Our eyes were locked in and he did not seem to break away, before the elevator door would close.

The memory of his piercing blue eyes sticked in my brain, and as the elevator opened ushering us into the hallway, my curiosity to meet him again increased. No one has ever given me this excitement in a very long time.

By the time we arrived at the office, Rachel handed over to me a cup of coffee she had made. I grabbed the coffee and took down the content, before stepping inside the board room.

When we arrived at the board room, the marketing team were all seated waiting for me, like I wanted it.

"Ma'am, the company has seen a significant drop in the areas of. advertisment. We cannot be sure if the audience like the new product, but there is need to make chamges to that." The marketing team leader revealed.

"Fix the media team, bring in a whole new staff that are ready to work under your department. We need to see the sales of these products rise in the coming week." I responded.

The rest of the meeting was simply about us discussing several marketing strategies to put in place for the coming week. During the discussion, my mind kept bugging me about the image of the stranger I had seen.

Once the meeting was slowly winding up, I checked my wrist watch and rose to my feet seeing it was time for my next schedule. "Very well everyone, I think the most important things have been covered and we can all call it a day."

While the marketing team all trooped out of the office, my eyes landed on the same stranger outside the board room speaking to Rachel.

For some reason, I find my heart beating very fast the moment out eyes landed on each other and this time. How can anyone have so much effect on me?

Rachel and the strange stepped into the office. "Ma'am, this is Mr. Smith." She revealed while turning to be young man. "He is here to apply for the post of Janitor."

"Nice to see you Smith." I commented.

"The pleasure is mine madam." His voice and the smile on his lips begins to make my heart melt down.

"Show Mr. Smith the HR department, they will take care of the application process." I instructed Rachel, who complied and turned to leave with Smith.

As they moved out of the room, I glanced at his direction and believe there was something about him that wants me to know more.

For the rest of the day, I find myself being distracted by the thoughts of Smih and what he stood out for. There was little or no explanation about the way he made me feel.

During lunch time, I chose to walk around the company to clear off my head from his image, when I find Smith pushing the Janitor's cart and his attention fixed on the door.

There is the suddenly urge I felt to walk up to him and engage him in a conversation. However, something held me back and it was unexplainable.

I could not tell if it was the fact that he is a mere employee or the fact that I was his boss, but whatever the reason, I chose to leave him for now.

As the day begins to draw to a close, I heard commotions outside my company and choose to go and find out what is happening, when I see Smith beating up one of the staffs.

"That is enough!" I ordered, and he let go. "Can someone tell me what is going on here before I take decision?" I asked, looking at everyone's face but they all looked away, except for Smith.

"Why are you beating a colleague of yours?" I questioned him, as the staff he had just laid out, slowly got back up to his feet, trying to dust his body off the dirt.

"He interrupted my work by making fun of me and I let the anger take control of me and took it out on him." His explanation seemed genuinely true because no one stopped him, neither did they complained about his activity.

"Come to my office immediately." I ordered him and turned to the rest of the staffs. "What are you all looking at? Back to work everybody!" I yelled and they all scramble across the place.

When we both arrived at my office, I walked back to my seat making myself comfortable with yet another cup of coffee.

We slept off while cuddling each other after the whole Mary 's shenenigas, I still can't believe that she could try to do such a thing to me, the only thing that's still baffling me is why I'm earth will she try to make me lose her memory. Who's the mastermind behind her actions? Why did the person wants me to lose my memory? Could that person be someone close to me? I was scared and worried but I don't even want to talk about this issue with anyone not even my friends cause I don't know who the mastermind is.

So, Smith told me to keep it a secret between us, since the mastermind can be anyone. I don't know why but the only suspect on my mind is my dad but Smith assured me that he'll never go as far as trying to hurt me, I was tempted to tell him about how he raped me countless times but I kept shut.

The other maids excluding Ruby were fired cause he said that they might also be her accomplices.

"You look so beautiful, madam. And I'm sure that your husband won't be able take his eyes off you or let you leave his gaze at the party" one of the hair stylists and make up artists that I called to come prep me up for the party complimented me.

"Awwn, I'm blushing" I giggled as I laughed while posing for the pics Ruby is taking of me. I can't wait to see Smith 's expression when he sees me in the business meeting, I just hope that he won't take his secretary along like I suggested.

"Thanks for your patronage and generous tip, Mrs Anthony. We'll leave now, please don't forget to contact us next time you need someone to prep you up. You know that we're always here for you, a real definition of queen and more" another lady said while I just blushed as they walked out of my room with Ruby.

"Madam! The business meeting has started already, I saw boss on the television, it seems like he's hoping that you'll show up cause he's alone" Ruby told me as she entered my room and I smiled before walking out of my room.

It's time to show them who the wife of Smith Anthony is! I know that I've always looked breathtaking but I intentionally made myself look more than breathtaking today. In short, I look so drop dead gorgeous like a goddess! The white long gown on me was giving the vibe of a saint but there's nothing saint about the dress, I looked like a good sin in the dress!

The white long gown is sleeveless, backless and it has a slit from my thigh region downward. It was showing my back, arm, leg and the shape of my body cause it was fucking tight to the extent that Ruby was scared that I might not be able to breathe well but it was not restricting my air flow, and I loved the way it was showing so much flesh but I'm not sure that Smith will like it.

The dress looked like it's my second skin, due to the way it fitted me so perfectly and at the right angles. I stared at my reflection for the last time on my phone and I smiled feeling pleased with what I saw, before entering the car.

Mary .

I sat down in front of my television, on the floor with my eyes glued to the television and my hand and mouth was working. I was eating spaghetti sauce and pineapple, it tasted so yummy that I was rushing it as if someone will steal it from me if I don't eat it hurriedly.

"Or should I just go? I can't dissapoint him by standing him up in the party after assuring him that I'll be there but won't that make him think that I'm cheap. After all, all we had was just a one night stand. Gosh! I'm so confused, I don't know what to do" she groaned as she stared at James , who kept on checking his wristwatch and the door countless times while trying to call someone. She stared at her phone that was ringing on the couch and she knew that he's the one who's calling her but she just kept on watching the program woke stuffing her mouth with more food.

"Guess what I got for you?" She suddenly heard Susan's voice as she opened her door and stepped in.

"Susan, you came. What of your date?" I asked staring at her with a confused but happy gaze

"I was unable to stop thinking about you, so he told me to go meet you and schedule our date for another day, and have you forgotten that I said that I'll come over here today" she explained while I jumped on her.

"Geez! You're so heavy. It seems like that guy cummed in the right spot for you to be pregnant so soon. Thought you were always on pills" she said as we sat down on the floor while I pushed my food aside and started unpacking the junks she got for me.

"Yeah, that's one of the reasons I'm still baffled, I don't think I'm ready to be a mom tho. It's just..." I muttered as I digged in to the pizza.

"So you wanna abort the Innocent child?" She cuts in staring at me while I kept on eating my pizza not sparing her a glance.

"I can't! I tried to do so secretly when I found out about the baby but I can't do that without the consent of the father, but now I don't think that I'll ever be able to forgive myself if I lose this child. This is my first child and I have decided to keep this child whether he wants the baby or not. I won't abort this child" I replied with a smile as I caressed my flat tummy.

"That's such a nice decision. I still can't believe that there's a baby growing in you already. What are you gonna name the child?" She asked as she stared at my tummy closely, probably trying to see if she'll be able to see my child or something.

"I don't know yet but I won't be the one to name my child, he'll do it" I said.

" His wife is with..." She trailed off as we stared at him walking around to greet some people with his wife trailing behind him innocently while operating her phone.

"He has been calling me since last night but I didn't pick up the call, I guess that he finally decided to call her after I refused to pick his calls" I said with a sad smile.

" Geez! Does this girl wanna kill us? Damn! The body is on fire!!!!" I suddenly screamed as I saw Becky steeping out of the mercedes benz at the entrance of the party, it seems like all the cameras zoomed in to her.

"Oremi is badder than bad!" Sasha screamed and I laughed as I stared at Becky on the television feeling like a proud mother who's staring at her daughter who finally became happy and successful after so much hardship.

"I just hope that this happiness on her face will be forever cause I have a strange feeling that something bad is about to happen to her anytime soon" I muttered and Sasha stared at me.

"I'm sure tht you're just overthinking. Nothing can stop this happiness in her heart" she assured me.

" Why are you not saying anything again?" She asked only to face me and find me sleeping soundly beside her.

"Gosh! Pregnancy hormones has started acting up" she muttered as she helped me to lie down properly.

"Thought you said that you won't be able to come here?" Smith asked as he held my hand, kissing it before he twirled me and shaked his head gently.

"It's seems like you were expecting me to come, considering the fact that you came here alone" I teased while he chuckled as he pulled off his blazer.

"Something in me just told me that you'll come here" he shrugged as he wore his blazer for me.

"Smith , I'm not cold" I said with an eye roll.

" I'm not blind but I can't have you walking around this place in this lingerie you call a dress. Your body should be seen by me alone, I don't like it when people look at things that belong me, it makes me feel some how" he groaned as he ruffled his hair, he placed his hand on my back and helped me to our sit with his hand still on my back. I smiled at how he glared at other men staring at me.

"There's nothing wrong with this dress, you're just been skeptical. You don't expect me to dress in a sack bag here right" I snorted.

" With this body of yours, I think that's what you'll later start wearing whenever we're going to an event" he answered with a serious gaze and i threw my head backward laughing.

"For real, I hate the way they're staring at you. Don't ever wear this type of dress again except we're just chilling at home" he said and I chuckled at how jealous he is.

"This place is so nice, everyone here look so rich and beautiful" I said.

" They're wealthy" he corrected.

"I'm sorry for ruining the atmosphere of our date yesterday" i apologized suddenly and he smiled gently.

"It's fine, I'm just happy that you changed your mind and came here for me. I was feeling so bad seeing everyone with their partner while I'm alone" he muttered.

" I'm sorry" I apologized with a innocent but flirtatious voice while blinking my eye lashes in a slow mode.

"It's fine, your father asked about you earlier" he said as he showed me my father who was staring at us with a smirk and I felt uncomfortable but I ignored it feeling like I was overthinking things because of how our last meeting ended.

"He might have thought that we're still having issues or something but it's weird that my father talked to you" I said with a shrug.

" I was as surprised as you're when he walked to my table with his wife" he replied, " forget about that and enjoy the party" he said as he poured wine in to a glass and handed it over to me with a playful bow.

"Thanks, my prince in shining armor" I giggled as I collected it from him.

"That sounds so odd, give me a sweet name" he said with a cute puppy eye.

" Erm... I don't know, give me one first" I said.

" Erm, what about Lolita?" He asked with a smile.

" I like it. What about my Romeo?" I asked with a shrug.

" You don't like Jericho" he said sarcastically and I laughed.

"What about Xav?" I asked

"That's not quite romantic but we can actually start from there" he muttered with a smile as he stared at me with so much emotions and affection in his eyes. He suddenly started moving his hand around my back drawing some stuff on it while I just sat there enjoying the burning sensation his touch left on my skin, I was enjoying it so much and I felt my inner chrun in pleasure and I almost moaned out as my pussy throb. I rubbed my thighs together feeling hot in my lower region while he stared at me with a smirk as if he knows the effects he has on me

"Smith ! Good morning" a lady walked to our table greeting Smith with a wink and flirtatious voice while she ignored me, she was on a short tight gown that was threatening to rip off her body, I was surprised when Smith didn't spare her a glance, he just continued with his sweet assault.

"Mrs Sa.., sorry what's your name again?" He asked with a serious gaze as he kept on drawing different pattern on my back with his second hand on my laps.

"I'm Lydia" she said as she tried to touch his arm but he moved away gently.

"I asked for your husband's surname not your name, and yeah let this be the last time I'll tell you to stop addressing me by my first name, we ain't that close. I'm Mr Anthony to you" he said.

" Pardon my manners then, is this one of your fling? Heard that your marriage ain't going that well" she shrugged as she eyed me.

" Meet.." he trailed off when he saw a man smiling at him with open arms, " Don't tell me that this is my man!" He suddenly yelled in excitement as he released me and stood up to shake the man but the man pulled him in to a bone crushing hug and i smiled.

"It's been a long time I saw you! Geez, that little Smith is now big and..." He trailed as he stared at me.

" Gideon, meet my wife, Mrs Anthony Mary " he introduced as he winked at me.

" It's nice to meet you" the guy he called Gideon said smiling at me in respect before facing Smith and they sat down talking about their university days while Smith just placed his hand on my laps while I was operating my phone.

"You suddenly became the touchy type, you hate physical contacts with women then" Gideon muttered stating at his hand on my laps.

"I still hate physical contacts with women but I'm addicted to touching her" he replied as he squeezed my thigh gently.

"Geez! That's new to what from you, I actually thought that you'll die as a virgin. I mean who the hell yell at a girl cause she mistakenly bumped in to him?" He chuckled and I stared at Smith who was smiling sadly.

"Lol. How's your girlfriend? I hope you've stopped that your promiscuous ways?" Smith asked trying to change the topic.

"Smith , I'm also married. It's an arranged marriage but it seems like we'll divorce each other anytime soon. She's a dog and..." He trailed off as Richard walked to our table with a beautiful young girl beside him.

"Richie, you're still single. I think it's high time you stop taking your younger sister to parties as your date" the guy said with a mocking smirk.

" Bastardo! What have you been discussing with Smith ?" He asked as he hugged Smith whispering stuff to him before he disengaged from the hug and exchanged pleasantries with me before settling down on our table with his supposed sister.

"Sierra, how have you been?" Smith asked the young girl who looked like the shy one.

"I've been good, I heard that you got married. I'm sorry that I was unable to attend your wedding, your wife is beautiful" she replied innocently while avoiding Smith 's eye contact.

"She's still as timid as always" Smith replied.

" I'll catch you guys around" the Gideon guy said before he walked away and Richard snorted in annoyance.

"It's been ages, richard. Why can't you just settle the beef between the both of you?"

" You know how much i hate traitors, so please" he said before sipping his wine while I just stared around with a bored look.

"Good day beautiful ladies and gentlemen" the MC said as he stared at everyone.

"As we all know that this event is not just a business meeting but a grand party for awards presentation to great companies that deserves it and there's a price for the company with the highest number of awards, I'll start by calling the name of the nominations while our prestigious event organizer will present the awards to them" claps filled the air after he was through with the speech.

"Which company do you think will win the highest number of awards today?" I heard Smith ask me.

" Yours!" I said with a hopeful smile as I stared at my dad who looked so prepared to collect all the awards that'll be presented today.

"I feel like the De Luca's family will be the one with the highest number of awards" Richard said as he stared around the room.

"The award for the company with the best sell of the year goes to, wow! This is so surprising. This man needs to tell us how he did this cause how will a new company win the highest sale for the year, I mean a business that's not up to a year. But sadly, his profile is anonymous but the award will be given to his manager. The company's name is..." He trailed off as stared at everyone before he laughed.

"It seems like everyone is impatient to know this company, this company name is Mary automobiles indutry" he said and my father stared at me in surprise while I just sat there wondering if it's a coincidence or something, since the company is not mine.

He kept on giving awards to a lot of companies, I was happy beyond words when Smith received the highest number of awards. It was like a dream come true as he walked to the stage with me beside me smiling.

"I'm grateful to y'all especially my employees and stakeholders, they stood by me through thick and thin, I'm happy that the bad days are finally over. I just hope that we'll all put in more effort to move the company forward. And yeah, I'll dedicate all these awards to my wife, my surest person, my employees, my stakeholders and to everyone who supported my industry in one way or the other" he said and loud applaud of clap filled the air, while my father scoffed and walked away angrily with his new found love.

"Thanks to..." He was interrupted by a gunshot and....
