Three ( Alpha Wane )

Roseline Malansala

Been laying on my bed days after day watching each day pass by like a blur, still cannot believe what happened to me weeks ago, my bed become my comfort zone as my mind, body, and soul have been distorted

I refuse going to work knowing I'm going to see the wolf that took my life away from me, she took my joy, she was stabbing me in the back and same time pretending to be my best friend, 

I don't know if I will ever heal from this pain cause every day, I wake up with hopes of healing and moving on, but all that kept on coming back is the horrible experience I had at the altar

I couldn't even come out of the neighborhood cause people has been gossiping about me, I feel suffocated like the world itself is against my existence and happiness

I never know outside world could treat me so cruel, I thought making friends and seeing what the world looks like is good but then, its never like I thought

I loved John and Chloe with all my heart, I did nothing but love both of them but all I got in return was lessons, 

Don't I deserve to be loved?

"Everything happens for a reason," My conscience said, 

''So you mean it's good for me to get hurt?" 

"It's not but maybe something better than John and Chloe will happen to you"

"I doubt that" I muttered pulling the duct over my head to stop listening to my conscience

I have to find a new job, my rent will so expire and I'm running out of groceries, if continue to spend every day under this duvet then I'm definitely going broke

"You don't need work at this point in your life" My conscience spoke up

"And why?"

"Because it's useless, all that will be in your head is John you can't even concentrate on work"

"I doubt that.." 

"What you need now is to heal…"

"It's not that easy…"

"It can be if you give it a chance" 

"And by chance you mean?"

"A sweet Rebound is what you need for your broken heart"

I thought about it for a while and my eyes snapped open in excitement, throwing the duvet away, I sat up on the bed feeling happy

"You're the best" I thank my conscience 

"Wait……" I muttered

"What is it?" My conscience asked

"I don't ever want to fall for another man, I will simply make him fall in love with me, break his heart and file for a divorce, I don't ever want to be deceived again"

"Poor Rosee, what if you fall for your rebound husband…." 

"That can never happen not when John hurt me so badly that my heart is locked away from loving any man"

"We'll see about that.."

"Ehhhhh…..fuck you're so frustrating'' I groan blocking my conscience

I stood up from the bed and started pacing around the whole room, I need to think about where do I get a rebound

"Think Rose, think" I muttered repeatedly spanking my head, 

Suddenly an idea crept into my head and I smile clapping my hands 

"Jackpot Rose, Jackpot" I screamed in happiness

I walked to my mirror and looked at myself, I have a slim figure with a tiny waist and rounded butt which is okay for my size, I have beautiful long black hair, brown eyes, and no….I'm five feet tall, 

All I see is a beautiful lady and definitely, no man can resist me

"If no man can resist you, why did John leave you?" My conscience knocked but I won't allow it to see

"Well John's leaving is his loss and not mine" I snapped

I look at the time to see it's 8 pm already, I need to go shower, but first, I need to pick out cloth for tonight's clubbing

This would be the first day I would be stepping my feet into the club, I need to dress out of this world

I walked towards my closet and pulled it open, since John never took me to parties and clubbing I never attended any, I'm not the party type of person, I started ransacking through my closet trying to find a nice outfit, 

It's been more than thirty minutes and I couldn't find anything, I was about to give up when I saw the red gown I bought last Valentine's day when I planned to go out with John but he called and said he wouldn't make, so I didn't go

I don't want to remember the past or anything about John, I shook my head and 

I pulled out the dress and laid it perfectly on the bed, it's the best outfit for this clubbing, 

I brought down my red bottom heels from the wardrobe and took one of my black purses and lay on the bed as well, looking at them I smile, 

"Are you about to seduce someone tonight?" My conscience asked

"Nope…but some motherfucker is about to be a rebound" I smirked and started matching into the bathroom with different plans hatching in my head

I came out of the bathroom ten minutes later, I dried my body and applied my cream, I wore matching underwear before wearing my gown, I wore my heels and applied a little makeup, I stuff my phones and stuff into my purse, taking one last glance in the mirror, I can only say I'm beautiful

I walk out of my apartment and lock it, shoving the key into my purse, I walk down the street and luckily an order stopped before me

"Clubhouse" I muttered and entered, my palms were sweaty, this is the first time I will be stepping into the club

"There's always a first time for everything," My conscience said trying to calm me down

I look out of the window admiring the beautiful city of Los Angeles

"We here mam," The uber driver said 

I stepped out of the uber and paid him before walking into the club

I saw some security standing outside, but I mustered courage and continue walking, different kinds of expensive cars were lined up outside, my jaw dropped knowing this club is definitely for the rich ones

"I'm already here, so there's no going back," I said to myself, I walked past the security men and immediately entered inside, the wrecking smell of whiskey and smoke covered my nose, but I didn't scrunch my face in disgust

I'm here for a mission, I don't want to act like a novice, 

I can feel the eyes of men ogle over me as I walked in, the light was dim and it makes it hard for me to see, strippers were dancing and tweaking on the pole, some girls were giving some guys a lap dance and some were even making out

I walked to the bartender and took a seat by the counter, looking around the whole club

"This is more than I expected" I whispered to myself

"What do I offer you ma?" I turned to see the bartender asking

"Do you want to get drunk?" My conscience asked

"Definitely not, I might be heartbroken but I want to walk out of this club in one piece" I replied inwardly and turned to the bar guy

"Something that's not alcohol" I muttered with smiles

"Okay " He replied 

I took my eyes back to the club as I continue looking at the girls dancing on the pole, suddenly I felt a lingering gaze on my back, 

I turned to the direction but saw nothing, 

"Here ma" The bartender placed my drink on the counter

"Thank you," I said to him and started sipping on my drink

I felt the gaze again and this time, I turned around and saw a man in the dark, he was the most handsome devil I have ever seen, yes devil, his gray eyes sparkle through the dark and illuminated like stars

His gaze was focused on me, I thought he would look away when he saw me looking at him but no! 

He kept on looking at me not looking away

"This is your chance Rose….go.." My conscience insisted

"But……"

"Go Rose go…."

"Fine… " I groan standing up from my seat, I took my purse and my drink 

I walk towards his table, since he sat in a dark corner, it was a little hard locating him

I stood before him looking at him, but all he did was smirk and look at me with excitement

I sat beside him sipping my drink not saying anything, 

I was busy forming the right words to use, and damn it seems like I suddenly ran out of ideas, and my damn conscience has suddenly flew away like a bed leaving me to face this strange man alone

"Hi.." I suddenly muttered looking at him, but he said nothing and continue sipping his drink

I wondered if he's not the man staring at me some minutes ago like I'm some fascinating idol 

"Hi I have an offer for you," I said but yet he said nothing than to sip on his drink

"I want you to get married to me, but don't worry, no strings attached…." I blurted out all at once

I waited for him to talk but he said nothing, I concluded that he's only but a handsome psycho, I made to stand up

"Is that how you go around asking strangers to marry you?" He spoke in deep husky voice, 

his question got my butt seating back down on the couch, 

"No…no…..I have my reasons…." I stuttered crossing my fingers for him to agree

He stood up, with his hands tucked in his pants pocket, it's obvious he's leaving, I sighed in disappointment, but then I heard

"Louise court, 9 am" He muttered and dropped his card on the table before walking out

My mouth hung open…..in surprise, 

I picked the card and had a close look to see his name 

"Whatttt!!!!" I screamed, thank goodness it's a club nobody heard me

How can this be?

Did I just meet the ruthless billionaire, I use to hear of him but I never saw him, John talks about him even Chloe

"Noooo….somebody should wake me up" I muttered fanning myself

"Did I just propose to the ruthless billionaire mogul"
