The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 1025

Chapter 1025: SIDE STORY (LETTO): A GREAT LIFE

That little boy was hugging himself, sitting at the empty alley, where trash scattered on the ground, the smell of this corner of the city was horrifying and everyone, who walked by would scrunch their noses because of the smell.

It was Greazly city in Karam continent, where people only cared for their own business and not some dirty, orphaned little boy, who was on the verge of dying.

The boy was hugging his little kitten, who just died yesterday, because a carriage run it over and the owner scolded him because his little kitten’s blood dirtied their expensive carriage.

Meanwhile, he was standing there, hugging his only companion, as the kitten’s blood seeped through his ragged shirt.

After the owner was satisfied scolding him, he left. There was not an ounce of pity for the poor little boy.

And now, he was still sitting in the same place, where no one would bother him and his dead little kitten.

He thought, he was going to die too, because he was starving. He was willing to kill for a piece of hard bread, so his stomach could stop hurting.

However, no one wanted to look at his direction or give him even their remaining food.

He was so hungry to the point, his vision started to get blurry. The kitten in his arms had smelled as bad as his surroundings and its little body had turned very cold.

He wanted to let go, he wanted to die, because life was nothing, but very cruel to him, but at the same time, he wanted to live and have a bite of a meat. He had never tried one before.

That was when someone came to him.

That man had this stern look on his face and he approached him. He saw this little boy in the midst of trash.

"Do you want to eat?" he asked.

With his last strength, the little boy pulled a smile and chanted the same sentence that he had said countless time to the people, who walked past.

"I can clean your house, I can lift heavy things, you can tell me what I have to do and I will get it done in no time," his voice was so small, but he put so much effort to look cheerful, because this man could be his piece of bread. "I don’t need too much and I can sleep everywhere. I can work and I am very diligent."

The man didn’t say anything for a while, thus the boy started to speak again, afraid that he was going to lose this opportunity to fill his empty stomach.

"I may look small and weak, but I am strong enough to lift heavy things and I..."

"Follow me."

That was the only thing that the man said and since then that little boy had been following him. He saw him as his savior when the whole world turned blind eyes on his misery, he was the only one, who reached to him and offered him help.

The little boy remembered the warm bread that he ate and the warm soup that made his mouth watering, or the first meat he ate that night.

That man was very quiet, he didn’t say anything and only give him one line order, but in the boy’s eyes, he was like an angel.

"I can eat all of this?" he asked when this man took him to a fancy inn, where people dress very nicely and all of them looked at him as if he was shit on the tip of their shoes.

"Yes. Eat them all and clean yourself." _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}

"What job should I do?" He asked, but the man didn’t answer, thus he started to eat. It felt like a dream when the fluffy bread entered his mouth or when the hot and savory soup warmed his stomach. The meat was very soft, it was like a butter, though he had never tried a butter before, since it was considered as an expensive food.

That man didn’t answer the question again. "What’s your name?"

The boy immediately swallowed down the bread so he could answer him quickly. "Letto. People called me Letto. But, if sir wanted to call me with something else, that will be my name from now on."

The man didn’t say anything about it, but later on, Letto learned that his name was Dexter.

After Letto finished with his meal, he had a room prepared for him and a warm water to take a bath. He scrubbed his skin from dirt and spent two hours doing so, because he wanted to look presentable for his new master.

Moreover, he had new pair of clothes and pants. He didn’t want to dirty them.
