Alpha King’s Tequila

”That gold-digging bitch! ” Snapped Andre, pacing, his left hand in his trouser pocket. He paced back from the window to stop in front of his desk. ”After everything she put me through during our stupid relationship, still, she had the guts to lie to the press about me? ” He clenched and clenched his jaw, bringing out his hand from his pocket as he leaned back against his desk, crossing one of his legs over the other. He pinned his look at Simeon, his assistant who looked about the place, unable to meet the dark look of his boss.

”Maybe we should sue the newspaper company…They had no right to release such an atrocious story knowing the impact it would have on the companys name. ” Suggested the nervous assistant.

”Sue them? Of what use would it be, huh? Of what use? This story has already spread to every nook of this country. Do you even understand the implication of what is happening? My father will kill me! ” he slammed his hand on the table and pushed off it, bringing out his phone that just beeped.

It was a notification from one of the most popular blog sites in New York City. It read…

Son of the infamous CEO of DLukas dynasty has been accused by his ex-girlfriend, Madeline Andrew to have raped her following her refusal to sleep with him during the course of their relationship

”Shit! ” he plunged the phone into the chair close to him. ”Simeon we have to do something about this and fast, ” he hastily said, picking up his phone again. He dialed Madelines phone which rang for some time and stopped. He tried severally but still, she wouldn pick.

”Vedi, non risponderebbe a quella dannata chiamata. Figlia di Jezebel! Giuro su Dio che quando poggerò i miei occhi su di lei non le piacerà lesito di quello che sarebbe successo! ” He bellowed in fluent Italian.

Simeon flinched squeezing his face in worry. He hated when his boss was in a fit like this it usually don bore well for anyone around him at that moment. He knew that Madeline girl and how much she clamored for the limelight. This wouldn be past her quest for attention and revenge, he knows.

”Lets try to be rational about this, boss. We could keep trying her line or probably drop a voicemail for her. Lets find out what she wants so we can just reach an acceptable agreement with her, ” he tried again, earning a glare from Andre.

”May God curse your mouth, Simeon, for spilling such balderdash. ” Andre barreled at Simeon. ” I pay you to be rational, fast, to always come up with something reasonable in moments like this, not to talk nonsense. Posso mai abbassarmi per contrattare con una puttana bugiarda~ ” he said hitting his chest with a fierce look on his face. He swirled around and went back to sit on his desk. He intertwined his hands drifting away in deep thought.

His phone started ringing, jerking him back to the present. He looked at it. His father.

The **! He swore.

”Dad, ” he picked up

”Home, now! ” his father bellowed, cutting off the call. He slammed back his phone on the desk and stood up. He knew this was going to happen. His father doesn take lightly anything that would in any way ruin the perfect image of his company which according to him he has fought hard over the years to preserve.

”Start making calls across all the publishing houses. Call anyone. Anything. We have to do something and very fast. ” he shrugged on his Armenia pleated black tuxedo and picked up his briefcase striding to the door.

”Thats Lukas. I have to go face his wrath. Make sure you give me good news before dawn, ” he ordered and closed the door behind him. He ambled down the hall of his office to the elevator and punched in the last floor number, waiting patiently as the machine flitted downstairs.

The moment he walked out of the office, Meggie, one of his strategic managers approached him.

”Andre, I was about to come up to your office. Whats going on with the news? Is it true?… I_ ”

”Not now, Meg, ” he cut her off with his hand raised at her. She paused, her mouth slightly open from whatever she was about to say.

”But… ”

”Don you understand when I say not now? I am not in the mood for your meaningless tattles…back off! ” he barked at the girl who flinched with her eyes widened. Andre has never used that tone on her before.

She watched as he passed through the double sliding doors that automatically closed behind him. She turned around to check if anyone had witnessed the exchange and nearly fainted as the curious eyes of the other workers quickly averted back to their computers the instant she caught them staring.

”You losers should learn to mind your **ing business! ” she screeched at the top of her lungs at them.

”Language, Meg! ” came the voice of the HR from his cubicle.

”Whatever you say, James. ” she rolled her eyes and sauntered off towards her cubicle. Everyone knew how much effort she has been putting into getting the attention of their boss which had proven futile over time.

Andre drove through the gate of his fathers different-shaped flower-decorated alleyway down to the garage.

Exiting the car, he made his way up the porch, ignoring the greetings of the bodyguards. He pushed through the transparent Greecian doors, entering the living room.

His mother who was climbing down the stairs ran to him with worry etched on her beautiful visage.

”Andre il Mio bambino, tell me the news is not true. ” she let out, grabbing his two hands. He exhaled, feeling a nut tighten in
