CHAPTER-3

"Fucking hell."

"Shit."

It just happened in seconds. As I was going to place his cup, someone bumped into me from behind and at the same time 'Alpha king' stood out with his phone and I abruptly knocked into his hard and brick form.

My cup slipped from my hand and a little amount of coffee spilt over the back of my hand and the rest was all over his expensive Armani suit. Not only this, but the clatter of something hit the ground next to me also caught my attention. That was his iPhone XS MAX.

I was horrified as my eyes widened. Oh my god!! I have done double shit. Both of his items are expensive. I don't think I can go home safely tonight. Oh, momma! What should I do now?

"I am extremely sorry sir, I am."

Ignoring my half-burned hand, I said nervously as I picked up his phone and carefully held out his cracked screen phone to him in my palm.

I quickly glanced up at him and then his expensive suit jacket for which I felt sorry literally. Eyebrows were furrowed in deep aggregation as he stared down at his iPhone, then slowly his gaze shifted upon me. To say, he was angry would be an understatement. His ocean-blue eyes gleamed with a burning gaze. I gulped slowly.

"You bloody.." He growled slowly. "What the fuck have you done..huh..?"

My heart was beating so fast as it would burst out at any moment. Without unlocking his blazing gaze from me he knocked the phone out of my palm and threw it away like some paper ball.

I gasped and retreated as I heard the clattering of the phone particles falling to the ground again.

This is going too much!

"I apologised, sir. It was a pure accident as someone pushed me from behind, I think. I am so sorry. I...." I looked at the phone particles scattered on the ground "....am sorry." My palms were getting sweaty, I was hoping he won't drag this matter into furthermore as it was unintentional.

why would someone push me...who was it?

Still having a lethal look on his face He regarded me and folded his arms across his broad chest. Why does he have to look so intimidating and superior?

"Now now, It is as useless as you are, you little vermin. Or You wished that it would have been in your pocket rather than scattered on the ground. Is it?" He said rudely, gesturing to his phone. His voice was still malicious and low.

What??

I was dumbfounded. What the hell did he mean by that? Why would he say that even if it's in anger? Does he consider me as some cheap person?

"I..what......what are you saying?" I asked, stuttering." I took a harsh breath, composed myself and said "I just told you it was a mistake, Sir. It's one thing to rebuke me for my mistake. You might be richi-rich but you have no right to abuse me with your unpleasant words."

Without changing his smug and stony expressions, he walked forward and stood close to me. His intense ocean-eyed gaze was so strong and fiery that I felt a wave of apprehension and accelerated heartbeat.

"Fake fairy innocent face, greedy heart and cunning mind, you must have won numerous Richi-rich hearts. Ain't you?"

"Why yo.....

Without giving me the chance to speak, he continued his rude remarks.

"I have seen a lot of disguised kinds of you, wearing the two-timer mask, fucking low peasant. Whose name itself is money, you can tell her nature and indulgence for it." He taunted.  "....done playing your chance? Little Dove." And asked tightly.

I stared at him in disbelief at his false accusation. I didn't know how to respond to him. I felt a strange prickling in my eyes, realizing tears were forming in them. I glanced around, noticing almost all the customer's attention was on us. I took one step back. This is a huge humiliation. This man is bloody insane. What did he think of himself? Arrogant jerk!

I swallowed down the stupid knot in my throat. Noticing my reaction of hurt, his eyes gleamed with utmost triumph as his lips curved into a smirk.

"I think that's enough, Daniel." The source of another male voice made me look behind the jerk. It was an older man, Gabriel came for my rescue.

Without breaking his steel-like gaze and smirk, that jerk again remarked, "No, Gabriel. These low ranked people need to recognize their status and stop their wicked sense of humour." He remarked fiercely.

"You never got the character to insult women, D. Just because of destroying a mere phone or jacket which was unintentionally done. She is innocent." Kind Gabriel said.

"Innocent? Is it lil dove? Even doves need a lot of attention, many treats and toys and. and. and a big cage." He replied mockingly.

Anger flowed through my veins like lava. What is his problem with me? Enough is enough. I mustered up the courage to object to such spiteful remarks.

"What the hell are you huh? What do you think of yourself? I'm not saying anything rudely in return, it doesn't mean you can say whatever you want to me. I already apologised for my mistake. You cannot abuse me in that humiliating way, I have done nothing to earn such."

"Don't you fucking dare to utter another word from your filthy mouth." He snarled lowly.

"Or what?" I snapped, unable to control the shakiness in my voice. 

"What will you do? Huh?" I bravely asked. In a split second a small cruel smile formed at the corner of his lips, which sent shivers of fear down my spine.

"You don't know who I am, little dove. I would suggest you keep your filthy mouth shut."

I swallowed down a lump in my throat. The kings... Who are they?

I glanced at Tristen who was enjoying his latte without any care around him but had secret amusement in his eyes and Mr Noah was regarding us with a still stoned face.

"Alright..." Gabriel gently gave the jerk a push away from me.

"Daniel.. Don't you remember about the business meeting with your lovely Valina this evening? you are wasting time on such unimportant happenings. Are these important?"

"You are comparing my Valina to this silly creature?" Alpha jerk kings declared eyeing me with much disgust.

"So, I suggest we need to leave now if you don't want to delay the meeting time," Gabriel said, gesturing to the other two for their leave.

At the same time, Tristen stood up and walked toward us. He stopped near the jerk and whispered something in his ear. With a tight jaw, the jerk-face glared at me intensely. He approached me and said in a very icy cold voice.

"Consider it your lucky day, little Dove. You can cross my path but never get caught by my eyes."

He again took a look at his ruined jacket suit and threw a very mean look my way.

"Fucking nuisance!"

He pulled out a new phone from his jacket pocket, giving me the last angry glance he stormed away with the phone attached to his ear. Gabriel and a stone face Noah followed him outside. Tristan walked my way and said,

"Pretty lady, don't worry about his things. As you can see they are easily replaceable. But I suggest that you take care of yourself around him, I mean if you ever come across him in future. And thanks for my latte, I enjoyed it. And yes, the "someone" bumped into you was dressed in something like yours but in a more revealing way. You guess it. I gotta go now." He winked and walked away.

I blankly stood there watching their retreating figures.

What the hell just happened?
