Hiding the Alpha’s Baby (Layla and Alexander’s)

AYLA

“Because she is already married, Mr. Alvarez. She is Ayla Rossi now.”

Goosebumps rise on my arms as I freeze on my spot.

花

What are you doing here?” Dad rises to his height, his eyes narrowed on the man behind me.

“I came to take my wife with me.” Massimo replies smugly.

B

Get out, Rossi.” Aaron snarls. Unlike Dad who is usually cool-headed and calm, Aaron is reactive and explosive.

“Ayla, my Kitty. “Massimo addresses me.

“I don’t think you f**g heard what is being said to you. “I hear C s s i a n hiss, his voice pulling me out of the trance.

”

What are you on about?” Mom asks Massimo. She is the only one who actually listens to what he is saying instead of trying to throw him out of the house right away.

“Ayla and I registered our marriage today. She is my wife. “Massimo reveals.

A heavy silence falls in the sitting area. All eyes fall on me, questions and disbelief swirling in them.

“Ayla Baby. ” Mom approaches me on small steps and grabs my shoulders. ” is everything alright with you?”

The unexpected question catches me off guard.

Dad comes forth, standing beside Mom. The anger is masked behind concern but I can tell it’s there.

“What is he saying?” Dad questions, his glare moving towards Massimo.

Yes, Ayla. Tell your parents that you are in love with me.

Massimo chuckles, the sound sending shivers down my back.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She is my fiancé, Massimo. Be careful about what you say. ” C a s i n says, an edge to his voice.

Fiance? How f **g hilarious. “Massimo scoffs darkly. I feel his presence behind me before he lifts his hand and pushes something toward Mom and Dad.” here is the proof.

Aaron rushes forth and s a t c e s the document from his hand. Even without looking at it, I know what it is.

Marriage certificate?!” Aaron yells, shocking everyone around me. “Ayla, what is this?” He turns it to me so

I can see it.

Seeing Massimo and my name on the marriage certificate doesn’t even shock me. But how he managed to do it without having my legal identity documents is irking me out.

As I stare at the certificate, my mind slips into an abyss. I find myself unable to hear anything Aaron is saying. It’s like an invisible hand is clenching my heart.

If I refuse to do as he says, will Massimo show everyone that video right here?

But, Dad and Mome–they will understand. It was a mistake. I never intended for this to happen.

However, once they know I don’t have anyone I love or someone I want to be with, they will do everything in their power to convince me so marry C a s s i n. My hands ball at my sides,

How will I convince them against it? They will ask the reason and I can’t give them one. I will never talk about it with anyone

“Ayla.” Dad calls out.

My eyes shoot up to meet his eyes. He has rarely ever called me by my name. I am always his Princess, even when he is deciding everything for me and doesn’t get what I am trying to tell him.

“Baby, answer your Daddy. Did Massimo do anything to you? Tell us. We are worried. Please speak up. ” Mom shakes my shoulders gently, making me sigh.

“Mom. “I whisper, trying to stop myself from shaking.

“Whatever f**d up scheme you came up with, I don’t care. I can always get rid of this certificate or get my daughter her divorce. She is not your wife and she will never be. She will marry C a s s i a n. “Dad hisses, throwing the certificate back in Massimo’s face.

C as s i a n. The name echoes in my ears.

“I don’t want to marry him. “I murmur, hate rising to the surface.

“Princess, he is an enemy! You can not marry this man. What do you think you are doing? Have you lost your mind?” Dad’s voice rises, making me jump.

Instantly, my ears start to ring as I look at my Dad’s enraged face. He has never raised his voice at me before or looked at me with so much anger.

Alex. “Mom leaps for him, grabbing his arm. “You know our Baby never does anything to hurt us. We can talk about her marriage to C a s s i a n later. We need to know what happened to her right now.

You will talk about my marriage to C a s i a n later?” My blood boils in my veins.

“Ayla Baby—

“I don’t want to marry him. Why don’t you understand?! I don’t want to marry him. I don’t want this! I don’t!” I yell, cutting her off.

*He is the man you will marry, Princess, whether you want or not.” Dad announces, his eyes turning cold.

I have never hit this low with my parents before. While I want to go cry in the corner, I know, if I relent today, Dad’s stubborness will win. But I can’t let that happen.

I will die before marrying C a s s i a n.

“No, Dad.” I whisper, shaking my head hysterically.

They don’t understand anything. They think they will always make the right decision for me which will make me happy but they don’t care if I want it or

not.

“Ayla, are you doing this because of him?” Aaron whispers, his brows lifting in disbelief.

‘Of course, she is doing this for me.” I feel Massimo’s arm sneak over my waist and instantly step away.

He is not my enemy. “I say, raising my head and directing my gaze towards my parents.

The decision I am making today—I can never undo it.

Dad starts,” Princess-

He is your enemy, Dad. “My throat feels heavy, and my eyes burn with unshed tears,” Just like the people who took me when I was a child were your

enemies.

Mom’s eyes widen. Dad closes his mouth, a streak of hurt spreading in his eyes.

“I have never had any enemies.” I whisper. “I didn’t want to. Yet, I had to get hurt because you had enemies, and now you are telling me that mig husband is your enemy?

Seeing them like this, lost in confusion and agony, hurts me. But I can not let them force me hito a marriage with C a s s i a n.

“He is not my enemy Dad. And I— “I breathe, lies spilling out of my mouth smoothly. “I love him, and I want to be with him.”

Impossible!” Dad’s face turns red in anger.

Come on, my Kitten. Let’s go home. ” Massimo muses, disregarding Dad’s displeasure.

My heart s k i p s a beat as I take a look at the shocked faces in the sitting area before announcing.

“I am leaving Dad. I am going with my husband. ”

Do you think I will let you go with him, Princess? I will not let my enemy take my daughter!” Dad snarls, his face contorting in anger.

Dad charges at Massimo at an inhumane speed. Feeling the threat, I step into his path, trying to block Dad. He collides with me, sending me crashing into

the floor.

“Ayla!” Mom shouts.

My head spins as warm liquid trails down the side of my head. I don’t know where I hit it or what happened, but I can see the horror painted across Dad’s face as I touch my head and blood coats my fingers.
