Rise of an Alpha Male

Silvio drives his super expensive Bugatti along the road, leaving all the other cars far behind him. He returns to Beverly Island and parks in front of the mansion before going inside and falling asleep. 

The next day, he gets up early as Julia makes breakfast. When he walks out of the mansion, he is surprised to see Karen Swift standing at his compound. He hasn't seen her for nearly two weeks, but she is still as beautiful as he remembers. 

She hesitantly paces back and forth on the large compound, muttering to herself. When she sees Silvio, she is shocked and stops moving. 

"How did you even find my house?" Silvio asks indifferently. He has no intention to invite her in. 

"I.. I.." Karen stutters, unable to speak. After their threesome two weeks ago, Silvio never contacted her since then. Silvio and Julia didn't answer her phone calls. She was very scared that Silvio would abandon her. 

"Please forgive me. I stole your information from the Top G Bank database." She answers nervously.

This woman is hopeless, he thinks.

Karen has arrived at the mansion very early in the morning, and she had found a cool Bugatti parked on the compound. She had been so excited that she had almost fainted.

She had been practicing what to say to Silvio when he steps out of the door. The moment she had seen him, she had forgotten what she had planned to say.

"Well, if you have nothing to say, then please don't loiter in front of my house." Silvio says, trying to walk away.

Unlike Julia, Karen is an intelligent woman. She knows Silvio has no problem abandoning her and although Julia is a gold digger like her, he keeps her. Julia probably is living with him in this castle like mansion.

"Please, Silvio. I approached you to make Alan gives up on me. I expected Alan would give up on me after seeing me with you but he is now even more determined."

"I am desperate. Alan just got more persistent. His visits have become more and frequent, and he even turned up at my house, trying to use my parents to get to me!"

He sighs, " So what do you want me to do? I can just reveal my real identity to them so that he gives up, then we break up."

She then became panic, "No, you don't want to reveal your identity.", dismissing his idea desperately with a wave of her hand. "You're still a student. It will cause you a lot of trouble. Please don't do that!" 

If Silvio reveals his identity, Karen would have a lot of competition for him. Her cousin, Sara would be the first to snatch him up. "Let's just go back to the way it was before, when you pretended to be my boyfriend."

" Fine." He says reluctantly.

Karen smiles happily as she looks at the fancy mansion and the Bugatti sports car outside. 

"Mmm. This place is beautiful and the Bugatti really looks cool. I've never been in one of those before."

" If you like it that much, then why don't you try sitting inside it." Silvio suggests it. He actually doesn't want to throw her away, he was just busy with his university assignment for the last 2 weeks.

"Really?" She asks, her eyes shining with excitement. "I'd really like to know how it feels to sit in a Bugatti." She tries to open the car's door, but no matter how hard she tries, it doesn't budge. She is afraid that she would break something, so she awkwardly smiles at Silvio, "Why won't the door open?" 

"Because I haven't unlock it yet." He says, pressing a button, then the door opens. "Wow." Karen shouts in appreciation, and gets inside. She wants to take out her cell phone and snap photos of herself sitting in the Bugatti but she is worried about looking bad in front of Silvio. She waves at him, and says, "Silvio, you should get in too." 

"Fine." He agrees, noticing how at home Karen looked sitting in his car. 

"I called in sick to come here." She tells him. "If my manager finds out I am not sick, I'll be in a lot of trouble. Could you take me to a shopping complex to buy some clothes. I am usually too busy to shop, and I don't have anyone to take me."

"Fine." Silvio doesn't feel like he could refuse if she asks nicely. "Put your seatbelt on and we will go." 

He drives the Bugatti through several areas, speeding by other cars on the road. The other drivers stay out of his way, wanting to avoid any accidents. 

Karen relaxes into the comfortable seat. She leans her elbow against the window, and looks at the passing scenery. This is exhilarating, she feels like someone important. 

As Karen seems to be enjoying the ride, Silvio doesn't go to the city, instead he drives further away from the city, and even passes the outskirts of New York. 

For Karen, she is already accepting the reality that she won't be Silvio's girlfriend but she just wants to stay beside him like forever.

"Mm. Silvio, can I ask you something?" 

"What?" 

"Is your ex-girlfriend, Julia living in that mansion with you?"

" Yes. But she is not my girlfriend although I have sex with her frequently." He says it in a matter of fact tone. 

Karen closes her eyes for a while as she is deciding something important. 

"I don't want you to make me your girlfriend... but can you let me live there like Julia? You can treat me like Julia."

He glances at her, "Are you out of your mind?"

"Just throw me away. I can live like your slave, like Julia."

He sighs, " You can't be like Julia. She betrayed me for another man. And you have a good brain."

"But.. "

"Tomorrow pack your things and move into my house. But you still need to go to work at the Top G Bank."

She stares at him in disbelief.
