Chapter 2 – He Can’t Give Luther What He Wants

RUBY

I just went along with it and got into his black Bentley. We didn’t talk much during the ride. He took me to his private mansion. As soon as the car passed the gate, I knew this step would lead me to the abyss, but I didn’t care anymore.

“I’m sorry, sir, when will the medicine be marketed?” I was still awkward talking to him, especially damn he was so handsome, and it beat Toby’s handsomeness.

Honestly, my heart is still pounding. Was it just a joke because Alpha Luther asked me to sleep with him? But I’m sure he has a woman in his heart. Shouldn’t he have met his destined mate?

Unconsciously, I followed Luther’s steps into the room. He took a set of clothes and handed them to me. “Take a shower and change,” he said.

“No!”

“Why not?” he asked, making me bite my lower lip momentarily. He looked at me again. “Are you and Toby dating?”

“We haven't even started that yet,” I replied.

“Clean yourself!” he ordered once more.

I followed his instructions, cleaning myself from the smell of sweat. The clothes I was wearing were so minimal that even when I sat down, the hair underneath would lift up to reveal my inner thighs. Once I got out, Luther was wearing a white bathrobe and sitting on the couch enjoying his wine.

“Sit down,” he ordered.

I just obeyed, the short hair of my dress rolled up, and I reluctantly sat down while clutching my thighs.

“Is your sister’s heart disease severe?” he asked again.

“Yes, sir!”

“Selling yourself, to save your sister, that’s admirable.”

“Selling myself?” My brow furrowed when I heard his words.

What the hell did this bastard say? Before I could protest further because of his words, Luther pushed my body to lean on the sofa. He immediately landed an intense kiss on my lips, so moist, and the aroma of wine was strong. Shit, what is this feeling?

My consciousness pulled me away, so he was serious about fucking me?

“You don’t want me to touch you? Shit, forcing you will only be boring! Get out!” he said coldly.

“N-no!” I replied, confused; this was too sudden.

“Get out!” he shouted.

I touched my lips, my hands shook, and my body temperature rose quickly. A normal girl like me would also feel a desire for the opposite sex. My mind was so confused, but I didn’t want this chance to end just like that.

“Sir, your goal in developing a new drug is to save other people’s lives, right? My sister can’t even undergo surgery, she could die at any moment,” I said.

“Is it my fault?” he replied; no wonder he was nicknamed the cold-hearted Alpha.

I was at a loss for words, but my body reflexively moved closer to Luther, standing on tiptoes to close the distance between us. My breath hitched as Luther touched my lips with his thumb. “Open your lips for me, let me kiss it deeply,” he said.

I still doubted my actions and removed his hand from me on that night a year ago. I don’t have any experience with sex. Luther took my virginity.

“Sell yourself to me, then you will be able to save your sister, I will give you everything you need.”

I’m not a fool; he wants me to be a woman to warm Alpha’s bed. Using me as a human.

“But you and Toby are good friends,” I replied.

“It's not against me playing around with his woman. We're just like that!”

“But, this won't work.”

“Didn’t you get in my car willingly?”

“I thought you would change your mind about the medicine,” I said, taking a deep breath. “You’ll save a lot of lives with that, right?” I said, playing on his morals.

“Get out of my sight now,” he replied.

Luther was persistent with his words, and I knew that pleading with someone like this would be useless. I slowly backed away, approaching the door. Before I could leave the room, Luther stopped me for a moment.

“Ruby, you consider it yourself,” he said.

I ran with my coat wrapped around me, the panic making tears flow down my cheeks. There had to be another way. I knew subconsciously that Luther wanted my body. It would only be my body.

As soon as I returned home, my sister’s hoarse voice greeted me. “Ruby?” she said.

“Hazel? Are you alone? Is mom on the night shift?”

“Yes”

“Have you taken your medicine?” I asked, embracing her increasingly thin body and pale lips.

“I don’t want to take that medicine anymore, it tastes so bitter, and it won’t work!” she shook her head sadly.

Our family savings are running low. There are only a few left to keep us going this month. “Do you want something to eat?”

“Steak! I want to go to Domino Steak tomorrow, can you take me there?”

It was a restaurant not far from the Alpha Luther company. “Okay, let’s go there,” I replied.

The next day, I kept my promise to Hazel. She was so cheerful, enjoying her steak. What on earth? Suddenly, I saw Luther sitting at the table next to us with his noble, cold expression. Did he realize I was here? I hope he doesn’t think I’m following him.

“Rub-Ruby?” Hazel gripped the back of my hand.

“Hazel? What’s wrong?” I asked worriedly.

Hazel couldn’t speak and fell to the ground hard. She clutched her chest tightly; she was in great pain with her body convulsing.

I’m sure Luther realized this, too, because all the other visitors’ attention was already focused on us.

“Hazel? Oh my god, please call an ambulance, someone, please help!” I whimpered in my anxiety. I was desperate, and my eyes reflexively turned to look at Luther. “Sir? Please, give me the medicine, please damn it give me the medicine!”

With the last of my courage, I shouted at Alpha Luther. He stood up from his chair. Would he help me?
