The Alpha’s Dionesa The truth
From her coat pocket, River retrieved a coin and slid it into the console, initiating the game. She played round after round, but each time, she fell short, running out of coins in less than a minute."Um, excuse me. Do you happen to have any spare coins lying around?" River inquired, addressing the young man who sat at his desk, engrossed in his laptop. He glanced up, chuckling."I'll never underestimate a woman again. They can handle that themselves." He teased, retrieving his wallet from his pants pocket and approaching her. "Let me show you." He offered, sliding a coin into the console and proceeding to give her instructions.While Aiden was giving her directions, River took the opportunity to ask. "I didn't catch your name earlier.""It's Aiden, Aiden Pearce." He replied, glancing up at her."Nice name." River complimented."Thanks. So, why did you get into a fight with your dad?" Aiden inquired."Well, technically, I haven't been on good terms with my dad for years. It's been fi

A loud slap echoed through the kitchen as Regina slapped River. "Don't you dare speak to your father in that manner.""Father, my father died the day he said that he wished I died in that fire instead of Jayden.” River stated before walking away.River sat on the queen-sized bed in her room when her mom walked in."We need to talk, okay?" Her mom began."There's nothing to talk about, Mom.” River replied tersely."Your dad tried, he really did. He attempted to warn Paul to back off, but he wouldn't listen. He also made efforts to search for Jayden, but he didn't do it publicly to avoid unnecessary attention. And as for Grandpa Dave's store, he tried to save it, but he was no match for the government.” Regina explained."That doesn't change the fact that he hates me.” River insisted."Let's cut the guy some slack, okay? We're not all perfect parents. He's desperately trying to make a change." Regina urged."By setting me up on a blind date with some rich momma's boy?" River retorted."

After waiting for thirty minutes, River grew increasingly frustrated and decided to dial Aiden's number. Earlier, while at the mall with her mom, she had mentioned that she was going on a blind date and wouldn't be able to make it to the arcade. Now, she wanted to vent about her date's tardiness to him.Aiden picked up the call. "Why are you calling, did your date bail on you?" He joked, and River chuckled."It's funny because it's true." River replied."He really did that? That's crazy. For what it's worth, I will never keep a pretty girl like you waiting.” Aiden flitted."Stop flirting with me, Aiden.” River said, although she couldn't shake the image of Aiden saying those words from her mind.Just then, a gentleman approached her table. He was dressed in a well-tailored black suit with a white shirt, paired up with white sneakers. His brown hair was neatly trimmed along with his beard."Hi, I'm Derek. You must be River. Forgive me for arriving late, my car broke down on my way here

That was the last straw for River. She felt a surge of frustration and anger bubbling up inside her. She knew if she stayed a moment longer listening to this self-obsessed bastard, she'd explode.She banged her hands on the table, drawing everyone's attention, including Derek's stunned gaze. Without a word, she grabbed her purse and stormed out, dialing Aiden's number as she went.But there was no answer. Frustrated, she hailed a taxi and instructed the driver. "Willow Street." As the taxi pulled away, River couldn't stop feeling annoyed at how the evening had turned out.Once again, River found herself standing outside Aiden's Arcade. She knocked repeatedly, but there was no answer, her attempts to call him failed. Annoyed and upset, she sank to the ground, her legs folded beneath her as tears streamed down her face.Feeling utterly alone, she sobbed uncontrollably. Suddenly, she heard the roar of a motorbike as it came close, its headlights blinding her for a while. The bike came to

River and Aiden sat at the edge of the riverbank."Have you always been in California?" River inquired, her gaze fixed on Aiden."I was born in Beverly Hills. When I was ten, my family moved to Italy, I only returned after my parents passed away. It was a way to distract myself from all the tension.” Aiden responded."I'm sorry about your parents." River said, genuinely concerned."It's okay. What about you? Have you always lived your whole life in California?" Aiden asked in return."No, actually. I left for England when I was nine and have been there ever since." River explained."Why did you go alone to England?" Aiden pressed gently."Something happened fifteen years ago which made my parents send me to England. After I found out what happened, I didn't want to come back home anymore, so I didn't.” She replied."What happened fifteen years ago?" Aiden asked, his curiosity piqued."It's a long story, which cannot be cut short. I need to head home.” She said, avoiding the topic.Riv

"I got a call from Derek a while ago. He said that you walked away halfway through dinner. Is that true?" her father asked."He was so insulting and uncaring, that's why.” River explained."You are so ungrateful, River. I took out a loan to send you to Harvard. I even put up my company as collateral. When I couldn't get the money to pay it back, I met some hooligans who helped. Now they are coming for the company. The only thing I asked of you was to try and make something work with Derek, so his family can help us sort out the loan. But no, River has to rebel over and over again.” Her father lamented."I had no idea, Dad. I'm sorry. I promise that I will make things work between Derek and me. Trust me.” She said, kneeling down in front of her dad.River stood in front of a gaming console in Aiden's Arcade, lost in thought. She couldn't shake off the weight of the promise she made to her dad."What's got you all worked up?" Aiden asked, handing her a cup of coffee."Thank you.” She sa

Aiden was cruising on his motorbike down the road when his phone rang. He pulled over to the side, grabbed his phone, and answered the call."What's up, Player? Any news?" Aiden asked, eagerly."No news yet, but I've got something on the Midnight Brothers. They recently posted a picture on the Dark Web, looking for George. I don't know what he did, but you should reach out to him.” Player reported."He's been avoiding my calls for weeks, probably still upset about the club incident.” Aiden mused."He might be, but that's no excuse. Get in touch with him and find out why the Midnight Brothers are after him." Player advised."Got it. And Player, I need you to dig up everything you can on Derek Milton. I'll send you some details I have at the mean time .” Aiden instructed."Bye, Jay." Player replied before ending the call.Aiden started up his motorbike and sped off.In a dimly lit room, William Brooke sat across from an unknown man."How's everything going with your daughter?"

River entered the house to the sound of chatter emanating from the living room. Stepping in, she found her maternal uncle George seated with her parents."Uncle George, when did you arrive?" she inquired."A while ago. Your mom mentioned you were taking a stroll around the city. We should go together next time; it's been too long," George replied warmly."Sure. Um, Mom, I need to rest. I'm feeling tired," River said, signaling her intention to leave."You don't seem happy to see your uncle. How disrespectful," William interjected sharply, causing River to pause."Maybe because I don't miss him," River retorted. "Uncle George called me every single day for the past fifteen years while I was in England. He never missed a day, no matter how busy he was. He always celebrated Christmas with me. So, I guess that's why I don't look ecstatic." With that, she turned and ascended the stairs to her room."River!" Regina called out, starting to follow her daughter, but she was intercepted by her

The Alpha’s Dionesa Four course meal
River's POV:The black dress my dad bought for me to wear to the dinner was strapless, above the knee, and a bit too tight. I could barely breathe in it, and I had no idea what material it's made of, but it felt almost as strong as plastic. It really cinched my waist and accentuated my curves perfectly.I paired it up with ankle strap heels, a pearl necklace, earrings and bangles. I made sure I put on light makeup. I didn't want to come out as desperate.After glancing at myself at the mirror for a third time I took a deep breath, picked up my phone and made my way downstairs.The dining table was already set, my dad was seated on the head of the table as usual, my mom was nowhere to be seen. I looked around and realized that the Milton's were yet to arrive.I glanced at the time on the top of my phone screen and I saw that it was forty minutes past nine. The agreed time for the dinner was nine so they were forty minutes late.Suddenly, Lola ran into the dining hall, “The Milton's are

The whole house has been busy from installing new house decorations to brewing crazy recipes in the kitchen. Mom and Lola have been in the kitchen all day supervising the chefs. I can't believe they paid chefs to prepare dinner for The Milton's.Dad has been on the phone placing calls to different wine brands to get the latest and most expensive wine.Then there is me, the trophy of the event.

In a rusty apartment in a less glamorous part of town. Li Ping stood before an apartment’s door and knocked on it impatiently. He didn't care about the noise he made or the possibility of the door falling apart, he just kept on knocking.Until the door was pushed open revealing George standing not too far from him.“Are you insane, were you trying to break down my door?” George asked rhetorically.“Are you not going to invite me to Georgie?” Li Ping asked not caring about the angry look on George's face.George took a deep breath in an attempt to control his anger. “Did Aiden send you here?”“Let me in and I will tell you who sent me.” Li Ping said with a sheepish smile.George stared daggers at him then moved aside, gesturing for Li Ping to Walk in.George's apartment was filled with high-tech gadgets, maps, and surveillance equipment.Li Ping stared around for a while before sitting down on the couch.“Do you really live here?” Li Ping asked while staring at a pile of take outs at t

"Hey." River said as she made her way to Derek.Derek turned to face her with a weird look in his eyes."Is there a problem? You look annoyed." River asked."Well, that's because I am annoyed." Derek answered."What got you annoyed, is the arcade not to your liking? Should we go somewhere else?" River inquired."You know I don't understand what your problem is, you're the one who wanted us to come here when we got here you were acting all weird and suddenly you're all happy." Derek said."Is your problem the fact that I'm happy or is there something else?""My problem is that you ran off to meet some dude all upset and annoyed, and now you are all happy. If you had a man in your life, why insist on making things work.""I only said that he looked like someone I knew. I don't recall mentioning that he was once a man in my life. Tell me what's your problem exactly?""My problem is that the young man walked up to me saying that you had denied ever knowing me." Derek answered.River: “...

Aiden sat in front of the television in his modest apartment, where a female newscaster reported the latest business news."On business news tonight, AD Innovations has acquired yet another enterprise," the newscaster announced. "Yesterday, it was reported that Twilight Incorporated had suddenly gone bankrupt. A few hours ago, it was confirmed that AD Innovations successfully negotiated the purchase of Twilight Incorporated. The company will soon proceed with rebranding."Aiden smirked mischievously as he switched off the TV. He dialed a private number on his cell phone, which surprisingly went through. "Good work," he said before ending the call.Putting on his jacket and grabbing his helmet, he made his way to the Arcade for its grand opening.River stood in front of Aiden's bustling arcade, a sign proclaiming "Grand Opening" greeted visitors at the entrance. Customers bustled about, attendants diligently catered to their needs.Suddenly, the roar of an approaching motorbike caught

"Oh, trust me, it is," August countered."So what are we talking about here, millions or billions?" She continued"He hails from a wealthy family and is affluent himself, perhaps boasting billions. Trust me, I couldn't care less," River replied"So, is this gamer guy some kind of legendary gamer or does he own a gaming company?""He owns an arcade downtown," River replied."Seriously?" August sounded incredulous. "Your problem is choosing a scooter over a Bentley. Honey, you need relationship therapy ASAP.""I don't know why I thought you could be useful. Goodnight," River said, ending the call abruptly and switching off her phone to avoid any further disruptions. She lay back, staring at the ceiling for a moment before closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep.It was past 11:00 in the morning, and River was just getting up. She quickly brushed her teeth and took a shower before slipping into a pair of shorts and a white top. Rushing downstairs on her way to the kitchen, she noticed

River nodded, feeling awkward. "Yeah, it was urgent, that's why.""I've noticed this before, it's like you always have something urgent going on. On our first date, you were on a call when I approached you and you couldn't stop looking at your phone all through the little time we spent together. It was as though you were expecting a call or something. And today at the cinema, you seemed lost in your thoughts. It's like you have a lot of calculations going on in your head," Derek observed.River felt a surge of frustration. "Goodnight, Derek. I would have invited you in, but it's too late now. My parents must be asleep. Goodbye," she said abruptly, opening the car door and stepping out, already feeling upset.River quietly ascended the stairs on her way to her room. As she passed her parents' room, the door suddenly swung open, revealing her father's curious expression as he emerged."How was the movie date with Derek?" he inquired, still holding onto the door handle."It went really w
