CALISTA'S POV.

"Remove your mask, Isabella Walters." Alpha Greyson said again, anger and suspicion flashing through his eyes, and hell, I knew I was in big trouble.

"I...I..."

"Do it now, don't keep me waiting." He warned

Alpha Greyson was known for his Sensitivity and sharp eyes, so even if this light remains off, he would realize that I am still not Bella. Slowly, I took off the mask and bent my head.

"Raise your head, Calista Walters." He said and I raised my head in shock and looked at him.

"How... How did you know?" I asked in surprise. He shrugged and looked at me again.

"Oh come on now. You think because I reside in the castle, I do not have ideas of what goes on outside?" He said and I tilted my head in confusion.

"What goes on Outside? I do not understand." I said and he smirked.

"Everyone knows that Isabella Walters is no Virgin. Even my parents are aware of it." He said, his eyes glaring all over me.

"Excuse me?!" I said, even more surprised. If the Royal family was aware of the fact that Isabella was no virgin, then why did they select the Walters for a Marriage Proposal?

"Then why select her for marriage? It is common knowledge that the Ferdinand family never marries their children, especially the male Children to someone who is not clean. And there are many candidates who fit that Criteria.

"Then why? To make a mockery out of my sister?" I asked, feeling anger stir up inside of me. Bella was not my real sister and even though the whole family treated me like trash, I couldn't stand the thought of her being made fun of.

"She's not even your real sister." He said, pouting his lips and putting his face down which made him look cute in every way. My heart jumped at the infinite cuteness and I almost diverted from our discussion.

"Well, it was not to make fun of her. That was not our intention. However, Mom and Dad felt that the Walters was looking for something from us, and that's why they decided to choose them. Mom expected that they would say the truth about the whole Virginity thing. But then, they said Bella was a virgin, taking Mom and Dad for fools, so Mom came up with a trick of hers to fool them. There would be a virginity test, but it would be done by an ordinary Gardener or cook, just some random male slave, and they fell right into that trap." Greyson said and I looked at him wide-eyed.

"You knew they would send me, didn't you?" I asked and he shrugged again.

"More or Less." He said. "Mother's had this lingering suspicion that the Walters family, even though they adopted you, don't see you as a daughter. More like a slave, who should feel happy that she was worthy enough to be rescued by them. So Mother was going to use this medium to confirm it. You look like Bella, though a more beautiful and sexier version of her, so Mom almost knew that you would be used as a scapegoat. Mom is smarter than you think she is." He said and I sighed.

"I'm going to be in trouble for this, you know. If Mother and Father find out that I was discovered, I would be blamed." I said and he laughed.

"They wouldn't be able to touch you. I would have married you by then" He said simply and I looked at him again like he was crazy.

"Marry me? You would be getting married to me?" I asked.

"I would be taking your virginity. Is the right thing not marriage afterward?" He said and my heart began to beat hard.

"Is.. the sex still happening tonight?" I asked, my anxiety returning back in full force.

"I have to take back proof to Mother. Else, I would have to go through the stress of looking for another bride. You're perfect. You've got the eyes, a little fierce, humble, and Virgin. What more could they want? I didn't want to get married, and they insisted. If I don't do that, they would put me through another hassle of looking for another wife. And I do not want that. I want to get this done and over with so that I can go back to handling the company, in peace." He said and my heart sank.

He is not looking for love. He is just getting married because his parents are insisting. Lightning struck and I shuddered in fear. If there was any day I hated, it had to be a rainy day. It reminded me of the day I was abandoned, and tears flooded my eyes.

"Are you alright?" He asked and I nodded. He said nothing and stood up to go to the refrigerator and brought out a bottle of Champagne.

"I have had enough alcohol for one day. I can't take any more of those." I said and he smirked.

"Alcohol helps to ease tension in a room. And you are feeling Awkward already, so I figured it would help." He said, pouring it into two glass cups. I said nothing and he handed over a glass of the champagne. Silently, I collected the wine from his hand and clinked the glass with his. I turned to the window and closed my eyes as the cool breeze hit my skin. I felt Greyson come beside me and I shifted.

"Hey, I'm going to be your husband, you should act comfortably around me." He said and I raised my eyebrows. Annoying, but Goofy as hell.

I gulped down the contents on my glass and dropped it on the table. I stood up and staggered, and Greyson held me by the waist. I stared at his handsome face and stared at his lips, my line of sight hazy as hell. The alcohol was already getting to me.

Gently, Greyson dropped his cup on the table and lifted me to the bed. He laid me down and cleared my hair from my face.

"You really are beautiful, Calista Walters." He whispered sultrily, and he leaned in and kissed me.
