“See?” the clerk chuckles. “I told you you’re perfect. You should wait here. I will go attend to other customers.”
I am too dazed to reply so I just nod. My heart is racing faster than I think possible. From a ridiculed pauper to a beautiful goddess, the transformation is mind-boggling.
“Tanya,” Marco calls as he enters the store, looking for me and I turn towards him. His eyes light up when he finds me and he drags his gaze up and down my body. A soft smile plays at the corner of his eyes but it never gets the chance to grow before it suddenly disappears and Marco’s face returns back to its default placid state.
“You’re pretty,” he murmurs and shows me a colorfully wrapped box. “Let’s do this the right way,” he chuckles slightly.
I am shocked when he goes down on one knee, opens the box to show me a very beautiful ring and asks me to marry him.
“Yes,” I mumble, unable to believe the windfall of good luck that befalls me. I am dressed in very beautiful clothes and engaged to an incredibly handsome man. At that moment, my life seems perfect.
“You should save the dress for the auction,” Marco says. “It’s in a few days. In the meantime, I’ll show you around.”
The next few days zip past in a blur and it is soon time to go for the auction. I dress up in the beautiful dress that I got from the store and Marco drives me to the venue. My hands are wrapped around his as we walk towards the front door and I am incredibly happy. We are just about to climb the staircase that leads to the front door when Marco receives a mind link.
“I’m sorry, Tanya,” he says apologetically. “I would have to leave you for a few moments. I’ve got an urgent contract to deal with. I’ll tell one of the staff to show you inside.”
“What about the invitation?” I hurriedly ask before he walks away.
Marco seems to be amused by me, “We don’t need an invitation.”
He doesn’t allow me to protest before he walks away and I am left to myself. I don’t know why, but I suddenly have a bad feeling that something terrible is going to happen as I look at his back. The peace and comfort that I felt earlier when he was with me suddenly disappear and I panic. Nevertheless, I continue towards the front door with my heart beating faster with every step I take.
Alina’s POV
“This auction is strictly by invitation,” I tell Brandon as I wrap my arms around him. “Only a very select few of nobles and royalties are invited. If you had stuck with Tanya, then you would never have been able to attend a function like this.”
“You already mentioned that,” Brandon smiles.
He looks very handsome in his black suit and I am very happy that I have gotten rid of Tanya. Though I’m not satisfied that she has slept with a rich, handsome man instead of Rick like I planned, still, I feel good about getting rid of her.
“Aren’t you worried that the man she slept with had a cheque with ‘Royal Bank’ written on it?” Brandon asks. “What if he’s royalty?”
“What? Royalty?” I laugh. “Which member of the royal family would be interested in Tanya? I’m very sure that the man she slept with is probably a rich man in the capital. And I’m very certain that no matter how rich he is, he can’t buy his way into this function. This function is strictly for Alphas, Royalties and Nobles. We’re only here because I’m representing my dad as the Alpha of our pack. If you play your card very well and network properly, you can gain the popularity you need to succeed my dad.”
“I know,” Brandon laughs. “Thank you Alina, this wouldn’t have been possible without you.”
“Of course it wouldn’t,” I laugh and hug him. “There’s no way we could run into Tanya in such a prestigious event.”
Then I immediately sense something is wrong with the way Brandon suddenly goes rigid and I follow his gaze.
“Impossible,” I exclaim. There is Tanya, dressed in the fabled Treasure of the Store, waiting by the front door. She is so beautiful that Brandon is staring at her lvstfully. Intense anger, fueled by jealousy, burns within me and I march towards her.
“You wretch?” I snarl at her. “How did you steal that clothes and sneak in here without being detected? Why are you here? To seduce Brandon?”
“No,” she stutters as she is very surprised to see me. “I’m here with…”
“Here with who? The fool that saved you from Rick?” I smirk. “You want me to believe he got invited? He might be some rich merchant in the capital but he’s no Alpha and he’s definitely not Royalty.”
“But…”
“How dare you try to sneak in here and steal my boyfriend?”
“I’m not, I…”
“Show me your invitation then,” I snigger at her confidently that she doesn’t have one. “If you were truly invited you would have your invitation.”
“I…I don’t have one.”
“I knew it,” I laugh. “No matter what you do you will always a slave, a surrogate’s daughter that would never amount to anything. Brandon dear,” I turn to Brandon. “Let’s go inside while this wrench rots in the cold.”
