The Alpha King s Slave

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch-a titan of industry and my best friend's father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

She was sleeping peacefully inside her bedroom, one of those deep sleeps she loves. But suddenly, in the middle of her sleep, she heard a loud bang coming from outside her room. It wasn't a firework or a car crash, but a gunshot.

A loud and disturbing gunshot sound rang through her ears, giving shivers down her spine. "What's going on?" she asked no one in particular. Just then a more disturbing gunshot rang through her ear followed by a scream. "Fucksh*t!!!" she exclaimed and jumped off her bed instantly and laid flat on the cold tiles. She closed her eyes, shivering in fear. She has never been this scared in her entire life.

"Mom!!" she whispered as tears slipped from her closed eyes and slid down her cheeks.

She was feeling so scared. "Baby!! baby!!" her mom whispered as she crawled into Lisa's room. "Mummy!! Mummy!!" Lisa cried out helplessly. "Shhh baby, don't cry!" her mom whispered as she got closer to her and hugged her tightly. Gunshots were still heard from the outside. "Everything is going to be fine baby!" her mom said, trying to calm her down.

She moved closer to her mom and hugged her tightly feeling the warmth. She felt safe in her mother's arms. After the death of her father her mother has always been her protector, she has always been there for her and now here she is trying to console her daughter who was scared, telling her everything was going to be fine when she knew deep down nothing was going to be fine.

Before the death of her husband, his last wish was for her to take Lisa to a faraway place once she's 18 and in a few days from now Lisa would be 18. "Mummy, I love you," Lisa whispered as she held her mom tightly.

Rebecca felt her heart melt instantly. She stared at her baby who was holding unto her and the tears she's been holding for long, she finally let go. "I promise you, Lisa, I won't let any harm come your way. I'll protect you as long as I live, " Rebecca thought and sniffed.

"I love you too baby," she whispered as sadness swept over her. Suddenly, the door to the room burst open revealing a strange man in black, putting on a face mask making them unable to see his face. "Mummy!!!!" Lisa screams in fear immediately the strange man barged in but then her mom held her so tight.

At that moment Lisa felt like disappearing. "Please don't harm my daughter! please!" Rebecca, Lisa's mother, cried out as the strange man took Lisa away from her.

"Tell that to your husband when you get to hell!!" the strange man said and shot Rebecca on her forehead. "Mommy!!" Lisa yelled as she saw blood gushing out of her mother's forehead. She became numb instantly, she felt the whole world came crashing on her but immediately she regained herself she screamed at once.

"Mom!!" She cried in agony as she saw her mom dying slowly, bit by bit in front of her eyes and she couldn't do anything.

Lisa turned to the strange man who was holding her and bit his hands then ran to her mom who was laying flat on the ground. "Mommy please stay with me! please, mom!" Lisa cried out as her mother closed her eyes slowly.

"I'm sorry!" was the last word Rebecca said to her daughter before she finally Blackout. "No! no! mom! You promised to stay with me. You promised never to leave me, mom, you said you were gonna protect me," Lisa screamed in tears as the man dragged her away.

She felt her whole world come crashing down on her at that moment. She felt this was the end of the world. The only person she had in this world. The only person that gave her hope and joy was gone.

She has nothing left, she has lost everything. "No, please help my mommy!" she cried out as sadness filled her heart but the strange man paid no attention to her cries. "Please! I'll do whatever you want just to save my mommy!" she kept yelling nonstop.

"Fu*kshit!! you talk too much! just shut up already!" the strange man said in his cold voice and smacked her hard on her left cheek making her fall to the ground. "This voice sounds familiar!" Lisa thought as pain seared through her. Lisa sniffed in tears and placed her hands on her left cheeks which were hurting like hell.

"Any more words from you, I'm going to kill you!" the man who just smacked her said and she nodded, tears sliding down her cheeks. "Now stand up!" he yelled and pulled her hair making her yelp in pain.
