Sold To the Grizzly Don (Alcee and Bruno) novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167

Alcee wished she had a bag of popcorn for the show. It wasn’t that she didn’t like Kylen. He was her boss but the things he’d done to Genevra over the last little while definitely lowered him on the list of people she respected.

“What is going on here?” Kylen asked curiously.

“We’re arranging my marriage,” Genevra didn’t even glance at him.

Alcee considered this woman was channeling the same boss bitch energy she’d done the first night she met her and while back then she wasn’t a fan, in this moment, it was everything. She nearly clapped.

“Your marriage? Thought you were selling your virginity online.” Kylen casually walked towards Torq with the file with a snort.

“Bypassing the auction,” Genevra commented. “I’m being practical. What was it you said to me, Kylen, before you left today? I need to grow up and nobody likes a brat?”

“I like a brat,” Karolos commented dryly leaning his head sideways, “though I must ask about this leaving today thing. Were you in a relationship?”

“No. I was staying with my brother Bastiano but with some of the things going on, for my safety and security I was relocated to Kylen’s home. He has a spare bedroom he keeps there for his six–year–old niece. It’s got a pink canopy bed and everything. He thinks he’s too old for me and I think his way of making sure he doesn’t cross lines with a woman far too young for him is to belittle and berate me and relegate me to child status. I admit i felt a crush on him,” she waved at him, “I mean look at him, but nobody wants to be with someone who they know makes them uncomfortable.”

“She makes you uncomfortable, Kylen?” Alcee couldn’t help but taunt him.

Torq turned his head away, hiding his laugh with a cough.

“I am quite possibly older than Kylen,” Karolos spoke to Genevra. “Will this bother you?”

“Are you richer than him?”

“Definitely,” a smile tugged the corners of Karolos‘ mouth.

–“Then no, it won’t bother me. You’re not hiding anything from me though? There’s not a mistress somewhere with a bunch of kids or a gay lover somewhere?”

“No. In fact, I came to America because someone wanted to discuss an arranged marriage with their family’s princess, but it seems she’s already

taken.”

“Sounds like it was fate!” Genevra exclaimed with a clap of her hands.

“To the Greeks, fate is important.” Karolos chuckled. He looked to his brother. “Have the lawyer send the contract over.” He wound his arm around Genevra’s waist, his hand possessively on her hip, “I will tell you; I am a jealous man. Once you sign on the dotted line, you do not ever, be alone with him ever again,” his eyes flicked warningly to Kylen.

“Torq, what the fuck?” Kylen hissed at him angrily.

Torq turned his head slowly to look at his CEO, “you want to ask your question again in a different tone with different words?”

Alcee pulled her head back, her eyes wide and her lips tucked between her teeth as Torq scathingly rebuked the way his underling addressed him in a room where reputation mattered. Torq drew himself to his full height and stared at Kylen coldly.

“Sorry,” Kylen gave a single shake of his head. “I apologize. I just don’t understand what is happening?”

“What is happening, Kylen,” Alcee spoke up, “is you refused to acknowledge the woman for everything she is and someone else will appreciate her. Before you get your panties bunched over it, I suggest you remember you have a date tonight with some supermodel and reminded Genevra not to wait up for you. She’s already packed up, moved out, and now,” she waved, “moved on.”

“You know nothing about him.” Kylen looked back to Genevra in disbelief.

“It’s the way with most families like ours, Kylen,” Genevra shrugged. “Here in America, everyone needs to fall in love first and pretends to be virtuous, yet they all cheat on each other and lie about their intentions. I want money and security and to not live on my mother’s farm.” She looked back at Karolos, “you don’t have a farm do you?”

“I do have an orange grove,” he shrugged, “but it’s behind my fifteen–bedroom villa which sits on a cliff with access to a beach. I like to swim every day in the sea. I have a helicopter landing pad to take us into the city whenever you feel the need to buy pretty things.”

Genevra looked at Alcee wide–eyed, “I might give him three kids.”

Alcee needed to hand it to her. Genevra knew what she wanted and wasn’t shy about it. She respected her all the more for it.

“Do you hear yourself?” Kylen grunted out. “Genevra, seriously?”
