Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

Chapter Two

Growing up, there are so many stories I hear about rejections, the pain that comes with it, and then the sense of loss, like something was missing. I knew what was coming, and I was prepared, even as I said the words.

“I, Riley Kaidon, accept your rejection,” I respond, and that gave him a pause.

“Oh no, Riley. I want you here, by my side.”

“Zara had taken up that duty.”

“I want you to be something quite different.”

“I won’t be your toy anymore,” I spat. There really was no boundaries to his cruelty.

“Others would be proud to even have such a position, but you ungrateful girl.”
