His captive bride (Roman Godfrey/Hemlock Grove fanfiction) book 2

Chapter 2

It has been two months since Alyse had started working alongside with the two brothers Miko and Micah at their hotel, Hakala. In the beginning Alyse kept looking over her shoulder, seeing if she was being followed or if Roman had someone keeping tabs on her, while waiting for the right time to show up at the hotel and chase her down again. After a month of doing so, Micah had finally managed to get Alyse to calm down, telling her that if she kept it up, then someone would say something about how she was acting jumpy all the time. Alyse thought about Micah's words before trying to give being at ease a shot.

Alyse is now working the bar alongside Micah who was mixing a drink for another customer, when a man in a business suit approached the bar, waving her down. Alyse approached the man with a smile before greeting him. "Greetings sir. Can I interest you in a strong beverage today? You look like you could use it."

"No thank you ma'am. As tempting as it is to have one drink, I'm going to have to decline. Can't drink while on the job. I just took a bit of a stroll out here to enjoy a bit of sun before I have to head back in the hotel for the rest of the business meeting. Would you mind being a dear though and grabbing me a bottle of sparkling water, that is if you have it here. I don't want to be a burden on you if you don't. Most places that we usually have these damn meetings in don't carry it," The man explained.

"No worries here sir. My employers are always listening to their customers and are always trying every day to serve best to returning and new customers," Alyse said before making her way over to the fridge to grab a bottle of sparkling water for the customer. While Alyse had her back turned the man quickly pulled his phone out and sent a quick text to his boss before putting the phone back in his pocket, as Alyse was turning around to bring his water back to him. "Here you go sir."

"Thank you so much. I hope to see more of you around here again," The man said placing a ten on the counter.

Alyse looked down before looking up at the man as he was walking away. "Sir! You paid too much!"

"Keep it. That should cover the cost of the water and a nice tip for such a lovely lady such as yourself," the man said before walking back into the hotel. Alyse shook her head at he strange man. Such a strange man. But I won't argue with it, Alyse thought to herself while picking up the ten and placing it in the register, before taking a five out and placing it in the jar.

Micah walked over as Alyse placed the money in the jar. "How is it that you manage to get such high tips in the damn tip jar? I'm the one serving the alcoholic beverages, but the big tips are always being left to you? Are you flirting with the customers? Because if you are, keep it up. You're helping me make a lot of money tonight."

Alyse rolled her eyes at Micah. "Not my fault that people like me better. Enough fooling around though boss man. We don't want your brother getting mad at us if we're slacking off."

Roman was in the middle of a meeting when his phone went off, interrupting Dr. Pryce. "Excuse me for a moment I have to check this."

"Is your text more important than the meeting that we are having right now," Pryce asked annoyed, causing Roman to get up from his seat while glaring at him, causing Pryce to slowly sit down in his seat.

"Anything is more important than what you have to say. But if you must know, this could be a text from my guy, who is keeping his eyes open for my bride to be. You know the one who ran away for the last time? Because once I get my hands on her, she will be learning a few things. Obedience being one of them, seeing as she likes to disappear on me without my approval. Have anything else you want to mouth off about, or are we all good here on this situation," Roman snapped at Pryce.
