CALISTA'S POV
I watch as he makes his way to the wardrobe and he hangs his clothes on it. He walked over to the socket and he was about to switch the light on but as if he has a second thought he paused and stared back at me and I was lucky to have quickly closed my eyes before he catches me. He didn’t switch the light on instead, he opened the curtains on the window, to allow a bit of moonlight to enter the room. He dropped his phone on the table and he stare at an empty bottle of champagne.
“She must have been bored to have drank a whole bottle of Champagne on her own.” I heard him say to himself. For the first time to hear him speak, my hearts a bit. I don't know if it's because of fear or something else that I can't fathom.
Quietly, I watched as the man changed into loose trousers. Seeing him walk towards the bed, he started to walk towards the bed and my heart beat increase as my instinct kicked in and I started to move backward on the bed in so much fear. I thought I was prepared for this but turns out I wasn't.
I thought my heart was strong enough but not in a situation like this.
“Who are you?” I asked with so much dizziness in my eyes. as I struggled to fight the sleep that still raged through my eyes. I shook my head, trying to push off the dizziness that was starting to seep through me. A tall figure walked through me, and despite my dizziness, I could see the figure of the man.
His physique holds so much authority.
The sharp moonlight passed through the window, and the breeze blew the curtains away, letting the sharp light fall on his face. Thick black and silver hair, curly, pink luscious lips, and eyes that seemed to hold so much authority and power in them. He was shirtless, and my eyes roamed through them in fear. My eyes moved down to his torso and seeing that he was still clothed down there, I sighed in relief. I noticed the thick bulge that lay beneath the pants and instantly I knew I was in trouble.
Was he supposed to be this big? Even down there.
I gulped hard as I knew not was sex was like, and that if my first time with a man was going to be this huge, it would be extremely painful. I shifted farther into the bed as he climbed into the bed his huge figure dominating everywhere and sending heat to my body.
“Stay…away…from…me,” I said and struggled to close my skin that seemed exposed but he was quick to behold the exposed skin and I could see his eyes glittering with so much admiration as he focuses his attention on me.
Just the two of us alone in this room made my heart beat faster than expected. I could literally hear the loud pounding of my heartbeat that wasn't slow or steady, rather it seems as if I just ran a hundred meters race.
I look frigtenen like a little girl watching an horror movie.
“What are you doing?” I heard his thick but sultry voice, and in horror, I knew that I was before the Alpha king himself. I gulped, as I realized that we had been lied to and that the man who would test if my sister was still clean was no ordinary slave, cook, or gardener, but Alpha Greyson himself. I gulped as I remembered how I got here in the first place as a substitute for my sister.
This must not go wrong. I remember my mum and sister's warning.
“I see that you are awake.” He said and I froze. That voice. I recognized that voice from the TV. He stepped into the light and my fears were confirmed. It was indeed Alpha Greyson. It was no ordinary slave or gardener, it was the Alpha himself. But of course, he was the one who was doing the marrying, so it made total sense that he was the one doing the checking.
“Alpha Greyson,” I muttered and he raised his eyebrows. He was extremely handsome in real life. He moved even closer to bed and I shifted back in fear. Should he find out that I was not Bella, there would be hell to pay.
“What are you doing? Are you not aware of the reason for which you are here?” He said and sat on the bed. I sat straight and curled my legs.
“I…I….am... But I am a virgin and the thought of all of this is what scares me.” I said and Greyson gave me an evil smirk that send more fear to my spine.
My voice wasn't supposed to sound this weak and pathetic but I can't hide my emotions.
“You have nothing to fear. I am the man who would be marrying you. Think of this as our marriage consummation.” He said and my eyes brimmed with tears.
If only you knew that I am not the woman you would be marrying. I am simply her substitute. I thought to myself. Greyson reached out to my legs and dragged his fingers on them, and pulled me by the legs to himself. He frowned when he saw that I still wore a nose mask and suspicion took over him.
Oh no hope it is not what I am thinking. Literally anyone could hear the sound of my heart beat and see the fear through me.
“Remove your face Mask, Bella. There is no need to hide your face from me.” He said and I shook my head. Greyson tilted his Ihead, and his eyes became cold as if he was giving me a last warning to follow his command.
“Remove the face mask, Isabella Walters.” He said Authoritatively and I gasped. This was trouble.
CALISTA’S POV.“Remove your mask, Isabella Walters.” Alpha Greyson said again, anger and suspicion flashing through his eyes, and hell, I knew I was in big trouble."I…I…""Do it now, don't keep me waiting." He warnedAlpha Greyson was known for his Sensitivity and sharp eyes, so even if this light remains off, he would realize that I am still not Bella. Slowly, I took off the mask and bent my head. “Raise your head, Calista Walters.” He said and I raised my head in shock and looked at him. “How... How did you know?” I asked in surprise. He shrugged and looked at me again."Oh come on now. You think because I reside in the castle, I do not have ideas of what goes on outside?” He said and I tilted my head in confusion. “What goes on Outside? I do not understand.” I said and he smirked. “Everyone knows that Isabella Walters is no Virgin. Even my parents are aware of it.” He said, his eyes glaring all over me."Excuse me?!” I said, even more surprised. If the Royal family was aware o
CALISTA POVGreyson leaned in and kissed me on the lips gently. The feeling is strange and exciting, since I had never been kissed before, loved the feeling of it and I shut my eyes. Greyson kissed my lips, urging me to open up more for him. I obeyed, opening my lips. Greyson groaned in satisfaction, and let his hands roam to my body parts. Grabbing one of my boobs, Greyson fondled them gently, his lips still locked in mine. I moaned at the feel of Greyson’s hand on my boobs, and knowing that I loved it, he searched for my bra hook, desperately urging it to come off. Finally, it came off, and my bare chest came into sight. Greyson left my lips and stared at my breasts. Quickly I covered them with my bare hands, my face red with shyness. Greyson removed my hands from them. “Why hide them? They are beautiful.” He said gently and went with his mouth on one of my nipples. I gasped as Greyson suckled on them, his hand fondling the other nipple. I moaned gently. Greyson continued with a
CALISTA’S POV.“Calista? You need to hurry up. Father says he is starving.” Bella screamed my name. I wiped my eyes and changed into clothes suitable for doing chores. I walked out of the bedroom into the kitchen, and hurriedly made Breakfast, consisting of Eggs and Bacon, while asking Freddie, another maidservant to help me share it. After serving breakfast, I went back to doing the dishes and then went into my room. “Where are you going, Calista?” Father called out and I turned back to answer him, with my head bowed. “To my bedroom, Father,” I answered slowly. “Calista, there is so much salt inside the eggs.” Mother complained. “I’m sorry Mother. That was a mistake on my part. Should I have the eggs redone to your taste?” I asked hurriedly, hoping that she would not punish me, as I still felt sore between my legs. “Hurry up and get another one done.” Mother said and I started to go back to the kitchen when I heard Father’s voice.“Stop, Calista.” He said authoritatively. I tur
GREYSON’S POV. “Mother. What a surprise to see you.” I said as I reached to kiss the back of her palm. “I have no time to waste, son. So, is Calista still a virgin?” Mother asked hurriedly and I smiled. “Yes Mother, it is as you had suspected. The Walters had their adopted daughter sent to replace their delinquent first daughter, and Calista is clean.” I said and Mother smiled. “She tried to drug me, tried to make me think that it was Isabella I slept with, but those kinds of things don’t work on me, and for it to work, it has to be excessive doses. I made her believe that I thought it was Bella I had slept with, that was the only way that the whole thing could go smoothly for her, with the Walters. If they found out that I discovered their trickery, it would spell doom for her.” I said and Mother nodded. “Did you give her a date when we would be coming for the marriage arrangement?” Mother asked. “I said two days,” I said simply. “We would increase it by two more days, making i
CALISTA’S POV.“How dare you hit me in the face? Do not hit me again, FOR FUCK’S SAKE!” I yelled in anger and Mrs. Walters and Bella’s mouth went wide with shock. I was too angry to control myself and I had to make it clear that I wasn’t going to take their bullying any longer. My life was tough enough, having to sacrifice myself for someone who doesn’t deserve it, having to think about if my birth parents were alive somewhere, I didn’t want to have to put up with their maltreatment. “Calista!” Mrs. Walters called my name in surprise and I glared at her. My glare must have been piercing that she staggered back in fear. “What is going on here?” Father said as he entered the room…“Did you not hear what I asked? What did you put in my husband's food?” Mrs. Walters said angrily, snapping me out of my wishful thinking. I definitely could never yell at her, I was not raised to be disrespectful. And despite the fact that I wanted to at this point, I couldn’t do anything, but hope that Fat
CALISTA’S POV“Now answer me honestly, Calista. Did Alpha Greyson find your identity out?” Father asked and I looked at him. “No.” I lied. “Please tell me the truth, Calista. I will not hurt you in any way.” He said and I shook my head. “No. He didn’t find my identity out in any way.” I said and he nodded. “Okay. You have a suitor. He’s a Doctor from the UK, and he has an interest in marrying you. What do you say? He is handsome, he’s nice and he is rich. I already explained your virginity situation to him, and he said he had no problem with it. He is someone you know also.” Father said and I stared at Father blankly. “Someone I know?” I asked. I didn’t know many men, or boys, except… I stared at Father with a face that recognized who he was talking about and Father confirmed my thoughts. “Yes, your thinking is right. The son of the Elamor Family, Leon Elamor.” He said and I stood transfixed. Leon was the only male friend I have ever had ever since I was little. He left Florida
CALISTA POVFather took a spoon of the food, and the look on his face said it all. He picked a tissue paper on the table and spat the spoonful of food he had taken into the tissue paper. “What in the world of food is this, Isabella Walters?” Father asked sternly. I took a spoon of the food placed in front of me and put it in my mouth and “Yuck.” I said immediately, dumping it inside a tissue paper on the table beside me. Bella and Mrs. Flora looked like they could kill me, but I had decided that I wasn’t going to look at their faces any longer. “Calista, what did you taste in this dish?” Father asked and I stared. “This is a yam dish, and so there shouldn’t be too much salt. The salt and spices were put in excessively, which is why the yam tasted weird. The tomatoes and Pepper are not properly chopped, so the eggs cannot blend well with them. My rating of the dish? A massive failure. A minus five.” I said and Bella banged her hands on the table.”You are not meant to bang your h
GREYSON’S POV.I opened my eyes and looked around my surroundings. This was my room, but I didn’t remember coming home myself, so how did I get here? I wondered. Drips were connected to me, and my head was banging hard as fuck as I tried to remember what the incident had been, that I was laying down in bed, receiving medical attention. I turned my head to look at the time and I saw that the time was 8 am. I sat up on my bed and attempted to move around, but I was still connected to the drip, so I couldn’t move around much. I saw my phone on the table so I reached out for it and picked It up. I opened it and dialed mom’s number. She picked on the first ring.”Greyson, are you awake?” She asked, her voice laced with Worry. “Yes, Mother. I’m awake. And I’m starving right now.” I said, chuckling a bit.”Okay hold on then. I’ll be in your room with the doctor and chicken soup in an hour, okay?” She said and ended the call without letting me confirm that I had indeed heard her voice. I dr
Epilogue Calista pov "Kids don't get so close to the water!" "Don't worry Mom, we aren't that close!" I eased my back into my reclining chair with a groan. "Gosh, they can be so stubborn at times... I wonder who they take it from," I said looking at my husband and he smiled back at me his eyes sparkling through his sunglasses. "Come on, sweetheart, you know they take it from the both of us." "Actually..." I was about to deny it and then just resigned to my fate trying to enjoy the sun at the beach, my eyes straight over to the beach as I saw my three children friends playing together and the sight alone was enough to make my heart immediately bubble-up with joy. When I was much younger I remembered Bella and her parents getting ready for the beach but I was never allowed to come with them on the rare occasion that I was actually allowed to come along. It was just to be their maid. I honestly thought that I would never have a family of my own. I sighed, this was going to mak
Calista povI was really planning to wait for the police but that was until I heard the cry of my children coming from inside the warehouse that I had traced Bella's phone to. Unable to hold myself back anymore I decided to enter inside of the warehouse through a back entrance. I had actually been familiar with this place before when I had first married my husband, however the business here had eventually collapsed and it was abandoned so I knew a secret entrance in the back way.The place was now so abandoned that trees were even going around it and it looked like a miniature wood, this proves to be in my advantage eventually because when I went to the back I was able to pick up a dead branch and then when I saw some thugs that wear circulating around the place probably as good as I was able to knock both of them cold with the branch that I had the second one proved to be a bit of a problem so I had to hit him a couple of times but when I checked out he was still breathing.My throat
Grey povAt my very last breath I told my brother to leave because I was not going to tolerate any of his nonsense anymore however instead of shutting up right there I'm turning around while he stroke his head what he just said to is something I could not bring out of my head he then said that there was no need for me to be in denial that Calista had never been satisfied by me and so she went over to see a real man that could do it.And that was indeed the last straw that broke the camel's back the next thing that happened was that I instantly zoomed over my office until I was standing right in front of him and before he could even blink his eyes I grabbed him and pulled it up squeeze his neck so tight that he could barely even breathe and he was kicking his legs about but I just kept on squeezing him my mind was telling me that if I just put in a little more effort his oxygen supply will be completely cut off and then he will just die.Revenge that had been driving me for what felt l
Grey's pov Even when I was keeping an expressionless face everything inside of me was telling me to brush this woman's head against the side of the wall but it's that I was somehow able to keep myself and I remembered everything that Calista had told me about how I was always losing my temper but this was a lot for a man to bare and when she finally said that the children beautiful twins that Calista were not actually mine. I was ready to squash her skull at this point then Calista came forward with her hands planted on her hips and then she asked Bella what was the source of that horrible accusation that was when she presented the contents of the envelope stating that it was a DNA result between me and the children and then she said that it was more than enough proof to show that I was not the father of them. I took the envelope and I looked at the contents then after I was done doing so I really began to shred the paper up as if it was nothing and so it this woman was nothing mo
Calista povThe fury that was coming out of him right now could be felt from a mile away and I thought that I was going to suffocate by just looking at him I have seen my husband angry before ulcer of many of the times does anger was directed at me but I had never seen him this furious this bloodthirsty and I knew that stiff look in his eyes he wasn't joking at all when he said that he was going to kill both his twin brother and Bella. But I just couldn't let that happen because nobody would even care about the crimes that have been committed behind the closed door if he killed them rather the only thing that will be advertised on was the murder that everyone was going to witness because I seriously doubt it when he said that he was going to murder them even if they were in a public place or not with the way his eyes were burning with fury which was exactly why I could not let him go.I tried to tell him that they were definitely going to get what's coming to them and then we began t
Calista pov The drive back to the palace was not as quiet as the one into my father's house because as soon as we were far enough from my father's house Gray asked me what my plan was after we had gotten all the information we needed on Bella, and she eventually got the punishment that she deserved.I was looking out the window screen at that moment when he asked the question trying to ignore him but I decided that if I didn't answer him he was just going to keep talking about it throughout the entire ride back to the palace so admitted to him that I was going to have a simple life with my kids and raise them alone he almost packed abruptly if it wasn't for observation that we were in a busy road then his eyes were over to me as he asked me what I meant by that. I looked at him straight in the eyes and told him that I meant every single word that I said and I seriously doubted that it needed any kind of explanation.His voice suddenly rose not in anger but it was definitely rising, h
Calista povI really miss to the days that I see my children all the time at least I didn't have to wait for literally weeks before I could look at them it could be a handful at times but when I didn't see them like this always feel anxious it was only the fact that they were under the care of their grandfather that made me able to sleep at night if not I would have been so troubled if they were actually in this Palace with Bella next door.After realizing that this woman was actually capable of poisoning her own son it would be no surprise to me at all if she attempted the same thing on my children and I was not going to let her get the chance to do something so horrible.While we were leaving the palace Grey said that we should take one of his less more conspicuous cars and that he was going to drive I really didn't care who drove as long as we got to see my children then when we8 approaching the car he went ahead of me and open the door to the front seat I just passed him by and we
Calista pov "I'm going to see my children today," I told Grey. He responded by his face contouring up with confusion though I don't understand what was so perplexing about what I just said. I had come to his room with the intention of taking his laundry to wash while I was actually there to tell him that I was going to see my children that very day. There was also another reason why I came here but this was one I was telling him about for now.He have been looking at me so expectantly the moment I walked in as if he was expecting me to jump right into the bed with him I could even see how he was intentionally closing on the way to attract me so I intentionally kept my eyes away from him but the time I was actually looking at him he seemed so frustrated but I was ignoring him."Don't you think it will be better if we visit the kids together?" He said suggestively and I mused on his idea then after a couple of seconds I shook my head negatively showing that I was not interested in tha
Calista pov The next day did not go exactly how as we planned it it was almost as if we have forgotten that the nanny was supposed to take care of the son because that was the worst timing possible the child fell sick, meaning that she was not allowed to leave his side for the entire day as he was not going to school so she would have to cater for his needs the whole day.The night before I had actually given her my number in the living room so that we will be able to communicate without meeting each other physically and avoiding the situation where I have to hide in the wardrobe from Bella she called me and it seemed as if she was about to burst into tears when she confessed that the child had suddenly fallen ill and she had to take care of him for the whole day.Just like that the time that I have been relying on since last night after she was shouted at by Bella but then I asked her to explain exactly what Bella did as usual she was a little hesitant but this time it was easier fo
