Sold To The Alpha Billionaire

Chapter 2

The next morning, when Samantha noticed that the door was open, she immediately got up and went to her room to dress up. Tomorrow is the day her father’s attorney will visit the Carpenters Company to make a selection for who deserves to be the next CEO of the company, so she needs to make sure that her designs are all prepared.

Seizing the opportunity to start her name in the industry of fashion designing, Samantha applied for the selection immediately. She is now eager to follow her dreams and make her mate proud of her remembering how Lucas’ looked at Lacey last night.

Later on, Mrs Lindsay and Lacey entered her room, causing Samantha to stop and turn to them. She noticed the distress in their eyes. Their faces seemed embarrassed as if they didn’t know who would speak first.

“Samantha,” Mrs Lindsay decided to call her, calmly, as if nothing happened last night.

The mother and daughter walked closer to her.

“I called the Press Lord of the GrandFord Pack,” Mrs Lindsay said with composure. “They said, the Alpha wants to take Lacey but instead of your sister... you are the one I sold to him.”

Samantha blinked twice, trying to sync what on earth she just heard.

The Alpha of the GrandFord Pack, Maximus Ford. She heard, he is an old man Alpha tycoon. He created successful business empires in his term, including the GoldNova Group which is the biggest rival of the Carpenters Company in the business industry.

“If you don’t cooperate, your sister’s life will be ruined. Don’t be stubborn and sign this at once,” Mrs Lindsay exhorted as she reached the contract paper with Samantha.

‘After they locked us last night?’ Samira rebuked in anger.

“Mrs Lindsay,” Samantha stammered. “You know that my father’s attorney will come tomorrow to select a new CEO for the company. And I already sketched lots of new designs—” Samantha couldn’t finish what she was saying when the old lady suddenly pushed her hard.

Samantha groaned as she fell to the floor.

“You have no mercy for your sister! Look at her! Her life will be ruined because of your heartlessness!” Mrs Lindsay yelled in anger.

Samantha looked at Lacey who glanced at her with tearful eyes in despair.

Meanwhile, Mrs Lindsay took a folder from her purse and Samantha recognized it. It was her designs she was planning to submit to her father’s attorney!

Samantha’s eyes widened as she saw how Mrs Lindsay took a lighter and placed it near to the edge of the folder!

“I knew this would happen,” her stepmother said in a blunt tone. “Now, you choose. Sign the contract or I will burn this to ashes?”

Samantha didn’t know what to do. If she won’t sign the contract, her designs she worked hard on sleepless nights will turn to void.

A strike of pain lashed across her heart as tears started to blur her eyes. She can’t believe her stepmother will completely turn into this monstrous woman.

Samantha brushed her own tears away as she stood up properly, her face was pale. It was the moment she found herself no choice but to take the contract paper and sign it.

“Good girl.” Mrs Lindsay immediately grabbed the contract from Samantha’s hand after she signed it and then quickly put it back on her purse. “Fix yourself, the Alpha of the GrandFord Pack will arrive tonight to take you with him.”

Mrs Lindsay threw the designs in Samantha’s face and left with Lacey.

It was night already when Samantha arrives at the Sylvania Pack’s Capital City. Despite of losing hope, Samantha still thought of going to Lucas, to ask for help. Lucas’ beta doesn’t want to give her any information so she spent the day searching for him alone. So, her feet brought her here.

She stopped looking at a hotel. There are many lights inside and noise of people partying, she knows there is fun going on. She doesn’t know where to find Lucas in this huge city but she was hopeful to see him here.

There, Samantha walked into the hotel and when she finally got inside the hall, she stopped as her lips parted, stunned by what she saw afar.

Samantha could clearly see Lucas kneeling in front of Lacey, while she still had her mouth covered with her sparkling eyes in full of joy.

“Yes, I will marry you, Alpha Lucas!” When her stepsister nodded excitedly, Lucas pulled out a ring from the small box he was holding and then as he slowly put the ring on her finger, the crowd started cheering.

Lucas stood up, he kissed Lacey, so gently in front of everyone that the loud cheering became intense... in front of Samantha's eyes.

Samantha's breath hitched, her eyes blurring. She did not know what pain she felt at that moment. She remembers how Lacey's mother forcefully made her sign a contract. A contract she knows would be the tragedy of her life. A contract that would sell her to an old man Alpha she never met.

Samantha tried to find him, to tell him his mate's life was in danger. She ran away from death, to search for him, only to find out he would propose to her stepsister.

Samantha watched them, her breath shaking as her eyes welled up. She saw how Lucas pressed his lips harder on Lacey's. Something she never received, something he never made her feel.

Now, she gets it, Lucas has been all after the reputation. He proposed to Lacey who was famous enough to be his Luna than her. To someone like her who was unfortunate enough to be marked as the slave in this pack. From the Evans' Pack.

Not long after, Mrs Lindsay appeared in front of her. She was Lacey's mother. Her stepmother. “Look at how desperate you are to ruin my daughter’s engagement party.” Mrs Lindsay stared angrily at her. “Get this woman!”

Shock and fear run all over Samantha’s body when two bodyguards grab both of her arms.

The old lady signalled to the two bodyguards to drag her out and take her to the undetermined place, the darkest part of the parking lot. There Samantha saw an old man getting out from a luxurious car.

Then, her stepmother immediately handed the contract paper to the old man and smiled as she gestured her hand to Samantha. “This woman is now all yours, Alpha Maximus.”

The old man was silent but his face was serious. He looked at Samantha from head to toe, causing her to tremble more in fear. He is indeed the Alpha of the GrandFord Pack that she often hears about in the rumours.

Soon the limousine black car parked in front of them. It has an unexplainable aura that for Samantha is quite odd.

‘Samira, are you there? I need your help, we need to get out of here!’ Samantha called her wolf, but she received no response.

Samantha gaped, realizing something is not right. ‘Are you... with our mate?’

Samira replied, but its tone and voice turned vague. ‘Well, I am with...’

‘It isn’t Lucas’ wolf. Tell me who was that?’ Samantha questioned her but it didn’t respond anymore, leaving her jaw dropped.

Following the old man, his personal bodyguards forced Samantha into the limousine car and they closed the door immediately.

There, Samantha accidentally catches eyes with a mysterious man who was sitting on the sofa.

He is wearing a black suit with his masculine figure. The corner of his lips quirked up as he poured a whiskey into the glass, embodying a musk full of intimidation.

Samantha gulped. Who is he? Was he related to that old man Alpha?

Then, Samantha's gaze turned back to the old man who walked near to the mysterious man. And then, he bowed, “Alpha Maximus,” he called him, making Samantha froze on her spot.

“From…?” A deep, cold baritone voice of the man dominated.

“The renowned Carpenters Family,” the old man answered.
