BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA novel Chapter 28

   “Honey, are you alright?” William asked looking even more worried now. This time, Bridget just nodded but she also said, “Yes, I’m alright.”
 
  William looked relieved. Bridget looked around and smiled at the others. Stephanie smiled back in return and walked to her. “You were awake so late that you woke up late today,” Stephanie said.
 
  Todd tried to stop her from saying that but she had already spoken and everyone was now looking at her curiously. They looked at Bridget and William with suspicious eyes, “What were you doing up so late?”
 
  William narrowed his eyes at them. He knows what the corrupt-minded people are thinking about. He just smirked and didn’t say anything.
 
   Let them think whatever they want. He stared at Todd with knowing eyes. He isn’t sure if Todd has told anyone else yet. When they saw that William wouldn’t say anything and Bridget is a no-go area, they turned to Todd cause they know they won’t get any useful information from Stephanie.
 
  “Tell us what you all were doing up so late,” they chorused. Sienna looked at him. She is dying of curiosity. What was going on between these two last night? Don’t they realize how improper it is to talk about the mate's love life?
 
   Todd gulped when he saw so many curious eyes focused on him. He glared at William not even caring if he was alpha or not. How dare he put his subject in this tight situation?
 
   “Todd, don’t keep us waiting for long,” Liam complained. Todd gulped and finally spilt out the beans. When he finished, Liam pounced on him.
 
  “How dare you!? You didn’t even bother to tell anyone of us. Do you love William that much!” Liam shouted playfully. William shook his head at his childish acts.
 
   No one will believe he is even a beta if they see the way he is behaving now. Sienna looked uninterested in what was happening. Bridget noticed this and couldn’t help but think that since Sienna is Stephanie’s good friend, she should at least look happy for her friend.
 
   “You don’t look alright to me. We were planning to go to the pool before but let’s go back to our room and when you feel better, we can go to the pool,” William suggested. He doesn’t like the way she has just been frowning since she came out of the room.
 
   Sienna was close by so she heard what he said. She frowned at William’ssuggestion. He was never worried for her like this in the past. Why is he acting this way now? She thought of the pool he mentioned, she was already thinking of the newest sexy bikini to wear for him.
 
  “No, I am tired of sleeping,” Bridget’s response made Sienna frown. Someone is still showing her small affection and she is acting stupidly.
 
  William tried to touch Bridget but she dodged and shifted away from him. He looked surprised and looked at her wondering what wrong he did.
 
  “Bridget, are you mad at me?” he asked her and still she didn’t reply. She stared at Sienna who quickly looked away pretending like she hasn’t been eavesdropping.
 
  William looked at what or who she was glancing at. He finally noticed Sienna and smiled. He even said, “Bridget, have you met Sienna? She is a sister to an old friend of mine.”
 
  Sienna didn’t like he introduced her cause she looked very displeased. Maybe she was expecting William to say my best friend or my good friend.
 
  “Yes, Daniella introduced her to me earlier,” Bridget replied nonchalantly and William could perceive the strong smell of… Is she jealous?
 
  His smile widened when he realized that Bridget is jealous of Sienna. Bridget looked down cause she knew that William already knows that she is feeling a little bit jealous. She was a little bit worried that he might be angry.
 
  She internally cursed herself for being so weak that everyone can read her so easily. William didn’t even know what she was thinking cause he was too overwhelmed with the thought that since she was jealous, that means she has started feeling something for him too right?
 
   I’m sure that if he knows what she is thinking right now, he won’t be happy. He walked to her and held her hands pulling her out of the room. They ascended the stairs. Bridget could feel Sienna’s intense hateful glare boring a hole into their departing figures.
 
  “Are you jealous?” William asked suddenly and Bridget tried to lie, “No, I’m not…” William immediately interrupted her, “No need to lie. You know I can smell the lies so easy on you.”
 
  Bridget shut her mouth in embarrassment and refused to utter a word after that. William thought her reaction was so cute so he couldn’t resist reaching over to plant a kiss on her forehead.
 
  Of course, they haven’t left the stairs cause Sienna saw everything. She groaned hatefully and left the room. Everyone was surprised at her reaction. But they soon returned their focus to Todd and Stephanie.
 
  Bridget smiled cause she knew that Sienna probably saw them. It would be better like that. William carried her in his arms once again and took her to the room. Seems like he likes that position.
 
   When they got to the room, Bridget was expecting William to drop her on the bed but he just kept on going toward the bathroom. “Why… Why are you taking me there?” Bridget quickly asked.
 
  “To take our bath,” William replied curtly and Bridget looked at him. He is talking like that is the most natural thing to do on earth. “I can bath by myself. Let me go,” she struggled.
 
  William glared at her and she quickly stopped struggling. His glare is so cold and terrifying. She looked down fearfully and William tried to hide a smirk.
 
  She fell for it. Is she this easy to scare? He only had to look at her once and she stopped struggling instantly. He walked into the bathroom and Bridget began to panic. Are they really gonna bathe together?
 
 ‘Why are you panicking?’ Deli suddenly asked.
