67

Just then, the bartender comes back with a tray of cocktails... different kinds of cocktails!

He places it in front of Ray and bows slightly, then he walks away.

"Alpha, your cocktails!" Karl said and picks a glass.

He was taking it to his mouth when Ray snatches it from him.

"Alpha, that's mine!"

"You're gonna stay sober and take me home!"

Was Ray's reply before he starts downing the cocktails.

He drinks until he's getting drunk slowly, he stares at the glass in his hand and laughs.

"Impressive! Very impressive!" He said.

"Alpha, what's wrong? Why did you decide to get yourself drunk today?" Karl asked.

Ray slams the glass on the table and clasp his hands together...he stares at Karl drunkenly.

"She lied to me! She lied to my face!"

Karl frowns in confusion.

"She? Who's she?"

Ray laughs and picks another glass of cocktail.. he finishes it in one gulp.

"She fooled me! She told me she loves me..." He scoffs. "It's just a bluff! She f$*king lied!" He bangs on the table.

He throws his head back on his chair.

"I thought she's finally fallen in love with me! It's just my wishful thinking!"

Karl thinks about it and came to a conclusion that he's talking about Stacey.

"She doesn't loves me at all, why?! Am I not good enough?! Am I so bad that she can't love me?!"

Ray wipes his face and blinks his eyes.

He holds his face in his palms and rests his elbows on the table.. anyone that sees him will know instantly that he's sad and hurt.

Karl sighs, this is the first time in his nineteen years on earth he's seeing Ray this way.

"Alpha, forgive my boldness but I'm afraid, you're being too possessive with her!" Karl said cautiously.

Ray didn't react then he clears his throat and continue.

"Yeah, girls do like it when their men are possessive but you're being overly possessive... Any girl will get tired of your possessiveness"

Ray raised his head.

"Possessiveness? I'm being too possessive?" He mutters quietly.

He chuckles dryly.

"B-but, that's the only way I know how to show her my love!"

"How about you limit your possessiveness a tiny bit?" Karl suggested.

He looks at Karl with a slight frown.

"Is that gonna make her love me?"

"Yes!"

Ray stays silent, just staring at the glasses of cocktails remaining.

He quickly gulps them down, one after the other... until he's finished everything.

He gets up and staggers back a bit but holds himself from falling... Karl rushes to him and supports him.

Karl place a few dollars on the table and leads Ray towards the exit.

"Where's your car key, Alpha?"

Ray doesn't answer his question.

"Getting drunk is fun!" He said and laughs loudly.

Stacey's POV

I yawn tiredly and stretch my body... I massage my fingers.

"Tired?" Aunt ask.

"Yes, aunt!"

Aunt packs the invitations together and count them, it's 67 in total.

"I'm sorry, honey, I didn't mean for us to finish this today... It's just I wanted us to write a few invitations until your event planner arrives..." She trails off with a guilty expression.

"Aunt, it's not your fault, she didn't show up... at least, we're done with the invitations!"

She smiles and nod.

"Yes!"

Just then my stomach growls loudly... My hands unconsciously move to my stomach and I lets out a shy laugh.

"I'm sorry for keeping you here since morning" aunt apologised.

"It's fine, aunt!"

"How about you stay for dinner?"

I'm really very hungry and I would like to stay for dinner..but then again, my mate is at home waiting for me.

Who knows if he's cooked something awaiting my arrival.

"Aunt, I'll just go back home instead!" I said politely.

"Wait a little while, dinner will be ready soon" she tries to persuade me.

"Ray must be waiting for me to come home for dinner"

She smiles brightly and nods.

"I understand, you can go dear!"

I get up and picked an apple from a tray on the table.

"Don't forget about tomorrow... we're going to get your wedding dress!"

"Yes, aunt!" The I rushes off.

I can feel aunt's stare on me as I runs out.

Disappointment greets me when I got home. Ray's not back yet from wherever he went.

I tried to mind-link him but couldn't, his mind-link is blocked.

I guess, I'll cook dinner then. I tossed my phone randomly on a sofa and strolls into the kitchen.

Putting my hair in a messy bun, I got into action.

Writer's POV

Dylan's apartment...! 6:00pm...!

Dylan dust his hands and smile in satisfaction... He look around the dining table and nod.

"Perfect!" He said.

He takes off the apron and rushes to his room to take a bath.

He comes out of his room, dressed in a well tailored suit.. he sits on a couch in the living.

He picks a small remote control from the table and presses a button... All the lights in the house switches off.

A_few_minutes_later.....

The door opens and Olivia steps in, she gasp when she sees it's dark everywhere!

"Why is it so dark here?" She questions herself.

Then, the lights suddenly turns on.

"Wow!" She awed with a smile as she looks around.

"Beautiful" she said. "It's just like a fairy tale paradise!"

It's shining and sparkling everywhere... cool country music plays in the background.

"Olivia!"

She hears her name and turn. She sees Dylan kneeling, holding out a box... He opens it and there's a ring.

Olivia gasps quietly. Dylan smiles.

"What are you doing?" She asks.

"Sweetheart, is this enough?" He asked.

"What are you talking about?"

"I read your diary.. you want your husband to propose to you in a wonderland, right?"

Olivia couldn't speak, she simply nods with a smile.

"This is all I could come up with, I'm sorry if it's not up to your requirements!"

She shakes her head frantically.

"This is wonderful, it's magical" she said.

Dylan laughs lightly.

"Sweetheart, I know I'm not a perfect man, people say I'm a playboy and not serious in life.. they're right... "

He trails off and watches her expression, she gives him an encouraging nod.

"I'm not serious in life, I mean, why should I be serious when my bro spoils me... He pays me monthly without me doing anything... He provides and takes care of all my every needs.. he doesn't let me suffer!"

He took a brief pause.

"Heck, he bought this house with his own money and gifts it to me... I'm really not serious in life but I have only one serious thing in my life"

He pause and stares directly in her eyes.

"You... Olivia Mckindreal.. is the only serious thing I've got in my life. And I don't mind giving everything I have to you.. I don't mind giving my life to you!"

Olivia bites her tongue as she feels herself blushing.

"Just give me a chance to love you, care for you and be your slave... Be my woman! Be my wife, please!"

Olivia couldn't hold it in anymore..she let down the tears she's being trying to hold in.

No one has ever pleaded with her before, no one has ever taken her serious, she has always being a slave to everyone.

But now someone is pleading with her... taking her serious... And willing to be her slave.

"Please, Olivia!" Dylan said.

She quickly nods her head and reach out her hand.. Dylan slips the ring in her ring finger and gets up.

Olivia jumps in his arms and took a big step, she did something she never thought she'd do.

She crashes her lips on his.. Dylan is very fast in reciprocating her kiss.
