BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA novel Chapter 88

 
 
  His shoulders trembled as he silently cried on her shoulder. Others couldn’t hear the sound of his cry but they could see that he was crying with the way his shoulders were trembling.
 
  So they quietly exit the room one by one. As soon as they got outside, they almost pounced on Alan.
 
  Daniella of course was the first person to speak, “From what I heard in the room… Bridget has been awake for a while now, right?”
 
  Everyone looked at Alan curiously and almost gobbled him up with their eyes as he slowly nodded. It was even Sienna that walked forward and held the collar of his shirt like she wanted to choke him.
 
  “You know how worried everyone was and you still hid that piece of joyful news,” She retorted and Alan tried to calm her down.
 
  “Honey… Calm down. Calm down. I didn’t mean to do it. She asked me to do it,” Alan answered immediately as he tried to pry her hands from the collar of his shirt. She really has the strength to hold the collar of his shirt tightly like she wanted to choke him.
 
 “And you did it,” That was the reply.
 
  “What do you expect? I can’t possibly refuse my sister-in-law so of course, I agreed and it’s not like I knew about it for too long. I only just found out yesterday that she was awake. It was only me that was in the room with her. William had gone to get her soup,” He explained.
 
  Jace rubbed his face and looked at Alan then at the angry mob… Hahaha… I mean angry people around him. He doesn’t get why his twin brother has been like this since they were little.
 
  Back then too he was always doing things that would end up getting him into trouble. So he swooped in to save Alan as usual, “Alan, we get what you are trying to say but you really shouldn’t hide things like this from us. You know how all of us have been worried about Bridget so this joke you played this time is really cruel. Just apologize.”
 
  Before Alan could say a word, Sienna stepped in and told him, “No need for apology… You deserve a punishment.” She turn to wink at Daniella who chuckled when she saw this.
 
   Alan missed the mischievous look on Sienna’s face so he really thought they wanted to punish him. So he just lost it and muttered, “You don’t know why cousin-in-law asked me to do this and none of you even cared to ask. All you are concerned about is punishing me.”
 
  “Okay… Why? Why did Bridget ask you to keep this away from us?” Liam asked. He just spoke for the first time since they got there.
 
  “She was still too weak to even talk when she woke up and I know if you all were to hear the news, you will overwhelm her. That’s why I decided to hide it from you guys and…” Alan was saying until Alan cut him off.
 
  “See… My brother doesn’t mean any harm so can we just leave this behind us and let bygones be bygones… Let’s go and watch our movie,” Jace interrupted.
 
  They sighed and nodded, finally agreeing with what Jace suggested. Then they headed to the cinema room.
 
  Alan and Sienna were lagging behind. Sienna turned to Alan with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. “Now thinking of what you did makes me remember what you said to me in the basement that day. I still haven’t forgotten or forgiven you,” She told him.
 
  Alan smiled and held her hand. She gasped as he pulled her closer. He bent low and whispered into her ears,” I thought we already settled that on the bed. I make sure to show you every night how sorry I am.”
 
  Sienna involuntarily shivered as she remembered the dirty things the twins did to her on the bed last night. She blushed and tried to release herself from his tight grasp.
 
  When he refused to let go, she hit his chest lightly and whisper-yelled at him, “Let me go… That doesn’t mean I have forgiven you. I am still going to punish you for what you said and your punishment is not touching me for a whole week.”
 
  Alan laughed as he looked down at their bodies that were pressed up against each other like they wanted to become one.
 
  “I hope you will say the same tonight when I do wicked things to you in the bed tonight… Hmm… I have got a few ideas I want to try implementing on the bed tonight,” He answered her and she gulped.
 
  She could feel herself getting wet just from what he said. “Alan! Sienna!,” Someone called them from the sitting room and they immediately disentangled.
 
  Alan smirked at her as he walked off. Sienna followed wobbling… Her legs were a little bit shaky to walk properly.
 
  Bridget stroked William's hair as he continued crying. The upper part of her dress gradually turned wet with his tears. He kissed the exposed part of her shoulders, sending shivers down her spine.
 
   “I have missed you,” He said as he kissed her hair. “I thought I almost lost you. I am so glad that you are safe. Please don’t do that to me again. I can take it. Bridget, if you leave me here, I’ll follow you to wherever you are going not minding the destination,” He continued.
 
  Bridget smiled when she heard his words. She pulled him to look at her and cleaned his face gently with her hands. His eyes were already red and tears were still brimming in them.
 
  “I won’t do it again but I really enjoyed it when you took care of me like your favourite pampered egg,” She remarked.
 
  William smiled out of tears. It’s happy tears this time around.
 
  “You are more than an egg,” He answered her and she smiled again. She pulled him down and kissed his right cheek.
