The Alpha King and I novel Chapter 2

I frowned when I heard an unrecognizable voice. “I’m Helena, Kenneth’s girlfriend. Who are you? Why are you answering Kenneth’s call?”

“Kenneth’s girlfriend?” The woman gave a long sigh. “Are you sure? Since Keneth and I have just shared our intimate moment.”

“What?!”

“Are you deaf? Oh, right! No wonder Kenneth told me that you were so naive. A virgin!” The woman laughed. “Well, Helena, for your information, Kenneth and I have just had a mind-blowing sex moment.” Then she laughed again. “Do you know what mind-blowing sex is?”

I gasped. “Y-you!” She had the nerve to taunt me like that.

“Kenneth is in the bathroom now. He’ll go to meet you soon. I guess he’ll break the relationship with you.” She sighed. “Poor Helena. But hey, if you don’t want to satisfy his appetite, don’t blame him for finding someone else who can.”

“Kenneth told you that?” My tears started trickling down my cheeks. It was hard to believe that Kenneth was so mean.

“Uh-huh. Kenneth also says that your body is too skinny. He wants a woman with big boobies, you know.” The woman sighed again. “I guess a quick farewell is better than prolonging a hopeless relationship.”

“But … but ….”

“Helena, please, don’t embarrass yourself further. Please take my advice and dump him. It will help you more than to cry over him.” Then the woman stopped for a while. “Ah, Kenneth has finished showering. Bye for now.” She ended the call.

I stared at my phone, and my sight was blank. Then I shook my head and wiped my tears. “No, the woman must lie to me. Why does Kenneth betray me? He’s always so sweet with me.”

But then, immediately, my mind recalled a few events where I refused to have sex with him. We almost broke up at that time. Then I remembered when we made out heavily, and he almost touched my private parts, but I said no immediately. Kenneth didn’t force me, but he was cold suddenly toward me.

I later sat on a bench nearby and closed my face with my hands. Did Kenneth honestly want me only to fulfill his lust? If he did, then what the woman said on the phone made sense. If what he was looking for with me was only sex, no wonder he was so disappointed when I said no. I bit my lower lip since tears threatened to flow to my face again. I raised my head and looked to the sky to help me not cry. After taking a deep breath, I shook my head. I should be strong.

Five minutes passed, and then my phone was ringing. Next, I took my phone from my purse and stared at the screen. It was Kenneth. I thought about whether or not I should pick up the phone. Finally, I picked up the phone. “Yes?”

“Helena, where are you?”

I gulped and took a deep breath before saying, “Moon Bridge.”

“Where exactly are you now? I’m at the bridge too.”

Then I looked around to see whatever I could say as the direction for Kenneth. “I see a mark of the Moon Bridge here. Also, there are a lot of street food sellers around me.”

“Okay, I’ll go there. Wait for me.”

I returned the phone to my bag and took a deep breath. Maybe the woman was wrong. Perhaps she liked Kenneth and wanted him for herself. That was why she made up an evil story to separate Kenneth and me. I smiled again after thinking about it. Yes, she lied to me. I should trust Kenneth more.

When I saw Kenneth approaching, I waved fast. “Over here!”

Kenneth walked toward me and then kissed my cheek. “Have you been here for long?”

I shook my head. “No, not long. So, where are we going?”
