JARED'S POV I patted my belly with satisfaction written across my face. Mother Juliana had spent a whole hour feeding me, placing different dishes on my plate until I had no means to swallow the food anymore. Father Leo wasn't any different either. He practically gave me all the meat from his plate. His smile grew bigger as I ate everything he gave, and to not disappoint him, I made sure to eat almost everything he sent to my plate. I drew in a deep breath, trying to hide my excitement. Across the table, Sterly's face was all red from Drake's endless pestering. "I want to give Jared that sunset paint. Which do you want?" Drake chirped. Sterly chewed silently, ignoring Drake. But Drake wasn't depressed. He laughed and held Sterly's arm. "My darling little brother, won't you make big brother happy? Just a word. Say anything you want, and I'd paint it for you." He pleaded. I watched with great interest.

JARED'S POV"Don't mind your mother. She just wouldn't stop being wicked.""Does it hurt? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told Mum about your new apartment.""Idiot. Can you ever keep your mouth shut? I'm going to pinch your ear until you bleed!"Their voices trailed behind me as I followed his mother inside. I couldn't turn around to see them as the mother occupied my attention, but their words played in my ears constantly, and my lips couldn't help but twitch.I saw the ear earlier, though red, it had no mark, and it looked like something that would return to normal after a few minutes. Anyone could tell the mother hadn't used any strength, and the redness was seemingly from Sterly's sensitive skin.I could tell___ so surely his family could too.I didn't even know how she got the house key, but she opened the door anyway.She pulled me to the sitting room, and I gasped when I saw the num

JARED'S POV I stared at the bright faces before me. The sparkle in their eyes caught me unaware and made me wonder what was going on. We stepped out of the car, hoping to enter the new house Sterly said he bought for our fake marriage, but instead, we met four strangers standing at the entrance with radiant smiles on their faces. An older scentless woman, an older Alpha man, and two younger Alphas... a man and a woman. The middle-aged couple looked really good. The man looked handsome, and so was the woman, but the younger ones weren't left behind either. Especially the female, she looked more like a doll, and if I were still a beta, I would have thought she was a strong omega. I stared dumbfoundedly, waiting for them to say anything. But my eyes lingered on the younger female more because I couldn't stop thinking she looked familiar. I stared more intently, and my eyes slowly widened. I turned around swiftly, my eyes fell on Sterly's exquisitely handsome face, and then I glance

STERLY'S POVThe ink on the marriage certificate hadn't dried, yet the weight on my chest felt decades old. This had never been my plan. I had always wanted to wait. When my parents discussed my marriage with me, explaining to me how frustrating the marriage alliances they received from various families, intending to match their children with me was, and made me promise them to bring home a partner, I had thought things would go awry. I intensified my search, hoping to find Nate as soon as possible, but things never worked the way I wanted. Even with my power and status, Nate was still nowhere to be found. It had been six years since he left... and he never returned. Nate was a thorn in my heart, pricking and persistent. I could never let go of him. Six years of yearning had turned hope into a ritual until fate played a cruel joke and sent me a man that looked like him... Jared. He had stood by the roadside, eyes fixed on the road, and sweat damped his body in an uncomfortable

JARED'S POVI watched as the door closed behind Stephen, and I sighed deeply. Even though it had been five days since I learned about my new secondary gender, it was still too difficult to accept. Suddenly changing from Beta to omega, it was like the universe was playing a game with me... and sincerely, it was baffling. Just a few days ago, I was still lamenting about how Kane left me for an omega...Funny how things changed so fast. I rubbed my forehead and weakly fell back in bed. The room was filled with my pheromone, which was extremely relaxing even to me. The orchid scent seemed to have the ability to calm the mind... even the doctor said it was extremely rare and was a sensitive pheromone that could easily attract Alphas___, thank goodness Stephen was a beta. The door creaked open, and someone walked in. I lazily opened my eyes, knowing it was the omega doctor coming for his usual check-up. "Good morning." I greeted and turned around to look at him. However, I froze when

JARED'S POV I yawned lazily and opened my eyes, taking in the classic decor of the hotel room. I sat up in bed and yawned again while rubbing my sore back. The man seemed to have left. Even his space beside me had turned cold. Well, it was better not to see him again. Especially after the shameful sounds I made last night...I rubbed my temple and forced myself up the bed. I quickly put on my clothes and walked to the bedside stand to pick up my phone, and my eyes fell on a paper behind it. I picked it up and read it out, *Sorry, I had to leave. Call me when you wake up.* then followed by a string of numbers. I stared at the letter for a moment and sneered. Call him? For what reason? I rolled my eyes, squeezed the paper, and threw it aside. Picking up my phone, I strolled out of the room without looking back. A night that would only stay a memory. A man who would never show up in my life... again. And a comfort I might never experience again. I boarded a cab at the entrance o

Brewster wiped his mouth and patted his belly lazily. "Thanks, bro Jimmy." He appreciated. Jim laughed awkwardly and waved his hand. "I've promised you that I'd cover your meals whenever I can. You call me brother, so give me the chance to act like one." Brewster flashed an innocent smile and blinked. "Yes. Brother Jimmy is the best." He stood up and walked toward the bed. "Today is the first day of acting, right?" He asked. Jim nodded. "Director William called earlier. You don't have a scene throughout this week. You can rest at home and go over next week." He explained. Brewster raised a brow, and his heart slightly flushed. "Then, I can pack today." He initially thought he would have to wait until the drama production was over before he could pack his things to Ace's house, but listening to Jim's explanation, he felt relieved in his heart. "Um." Jim nodded, then his eyes widened. "Pack? Pack to where?" He sounded confused. Brewster pursed his lips, and embarrassment flashed

Morning came, but Brewster continued turning and rolling in bed. He couldn't catch a wisp of sleep all through the night. The call kept ringing in his head. The conversation with the deep-voiced man scared him more than he'd love to admit. He could tell Jim was in danger. But how could he help? What if the man was much more powerful than Ace? Would Ace still help him then?Brewster groaned painfully. His thoughts were chaotic. He scrambled for his phone with his hand, his eyes closed from exhaustion, and his fingers caught hold of the old phone. He pulled the phone closer to himself and forced his eyes open. "No call." He mumbled to himself. He had hoped Jim would call. He hadn't said anything to Jim during the call, but he desperately hoped all through the night that Jim would call and give him an explanation. While he did not want to confront Jim, he also couldn't let it go. He felt troubled. His temples pulsed. He closed his eyes weakly and hissed, but the sudden knock fr

Brewster stepped out of the office still in a daze. He walked forward with a silly expression on his face, but his nails wouldn't stop piercing his palm. "Live in his home." He mumbled. His lips slowly curled up, and his ears turned beet red. He hastened his steps and clutched his chest to steady his rapidly beating heart. His head tilted, and his expression turned a little serious. "I might have to see a doctor soon. My heart is beating too fast these days." He complained. He rummaged in his pocket and brought out his phone. "Brother Jimmy..." He called softly as he dialed the line on his screen. The phone rang for a while and ended unanswered. Brewster frowned and called again, but the result was the same. "What's going on?" He mumbled worriedly. Jimmy was always with his phone. There was no way the man would ignore Brewster's call, especially after he dropped him at the hotel before he left. Brewster knew Jim would have been deadly worried and would have stayed alert with h

Brewster stepped into the office with his head lowered. The card was held tightly in his hand, weighing thousands of kilos. He bit his lower lip and tried his best to raise his head. "Mr Ace." He called weakly and swallowed. How was he supposed to start? Mr Ace must have received the alert, right?Brewster felt troubled. He glanced at Ace and realized Ace was staring at him. It was like the man wanted him to say something... anything at all. Brewster felt his heart race slightly. He dragged his feet forward and carefully dropped the heavy card on the desk. His back bent, and he swooped low. "I'm sorry!" He shouted and shut his eyes tight. Will he be beaten? His heart wouldn't stop beating!Brewster waited anxiously for Ace's reactions, but even after a few minutes, he heard and felt nothing. He was confused. He forcefully opened his eyes and sneakily glanced at Ace, only to see the man calmly working away!Brewster frowned slightly and stood right. "Mr Ace." He called again. He

DING!An alert popped up on Ace's phone, and he squinted his eyes lazily. He pushed back the document before him and raised a brow at his assistant, who was busy typing away on a laptop. "I'm done with this. Make sure it's submitted to them tomorrow." He ordered and checked his time, realizing it was past midnight already. He yawned and picked up his phone to check what the alert was all about, but his brows furrowed slightly when he saw the amount withdrawn from his account. It wasn't the amount that surprised him. With his wealth, he could afford to spend a thousand times more daily, but what surprised him was the person who used the money. The little star. Thinking about the naivety of the little star, Ace couldn't help but wonder what he could have used so much money for. Could it be that the little star was indeed deceiving him?Ace's eyes narrowed as the little star's face flashed before his eyes. "Mr Ace, should I investigate how he spent the money?" Ryan, Ace's assistant,

Brewster waited patiently for the doctor's return. Considering Ace's wealth, Brewster was certain that his monthly allowance wouldn't be exactly small, and Ace even promised to send money monthly. With that, he knew it would only be a matter of time before he would be able to pay all his debts. With this thought in mind, Brewster found himself at peace, and the earlier heaviness slowly loosened. He tapped the table calmly, his eyes fixated on the messy reports on the desk. Soon, the door opened, and the doctor returned with an awkward expression on his face. He looked at Brewster's seemingly innocent face and sighed in despair. "Brewster," He called. Brewster blinked and stood up. His heart couldn't help but race slightly at the expression on the doctor's face. Was the money not enough for even a deposit? That was expected, though. Considering his relationship with Ace wasn't particularly great. It was normal for Ace not to give him much. He scratched his head and forced a small

JULIAN'S POV TWO WEEKS LATER...Abel drove me to the movie set with great enthusiasm. He wasn't the only one excited, I was, too. The past two weeks had been extremely boring with nothing to do and Xavier on a business trip. Who would have thought he wouldn't return home that day? He didn't even reply to my messages, and it was his grandmother who explained to me that he was on a business trip. It was annoying to say the least. I pushed open the door and stepped down. Anger washed through my veins with the thought of Xavier again but I pressed it down and flashed a small smile. "Let's go," I said to Abel. We strode toward the set and saw many stars already there. The producer, Mr Alex, was also there, and he was busy directing the leading actress as she acted her roles. The beginning scene was being acted and the leading actress was crying frantically as she stared at the corpse before her. She was unable to believe she had killed someone. "Cut!" The director shouted. "What's

JULIAN'S POV Samantha glared at Fred, her disciplined, matronly glare bore down on him, and he quickly walked away. "Don't mind him, Julian. You know how Fred is." She said apologetically. Her eyes expressed her guilt. She must have regretted asking me the question in the first place. If she hadn't asked, Fred wouldn't have butted in, and things wouldn't have turned so awkward. I stared at his retreat and silently cursed that I wasn't able to beat him up at the moment. Well... I wouldn't want to cause trouble at the script reading. Abel held my hand and whispered: "Let's go back to our seats. We will deal with slag Fred later." I nodded in agreement. I had already let the bastard go once, but that didn't mean I had no temper. I would make sure he regrets everything he did. I would let him know what he had lost when he betrayed me. What? He wouldn't want to be with a guy?Funny, I presented as an omega!Who cared about primary gender when the secondary gender already declared au

JULIAN'S POV "Oh, it's Mr Xavier.""It really is, Mr Xavier?""Is he the investor?""He is so handsome!""I heard he is an Alpha? I really want to be his omega!"I listened patiently as the seemingly high celebrities praised and flattered Xavier. They all rushed to their feet, competing to be the first. Even the director James wasn't any differentAnd only then did I notice that director James was actually an omega... too. Wait, could he be interested in Xavier?My thoughts swirled, and my eyes settled on Xavier, who coldly replied to the greetings of the various celebrities. His face held no emotions as he replied to their words and questions. He seemed to be unbothered by anyone before him...I shook my head slightly. Xavier wouldn't fall for someone so easily. He didn't seem like it. Having arrived at a plausible conclusion, I picked up my phone to continue gaming, but a light tap on my shoulder made me freeze for a moment. Regaining my composure, I realized my phone had been

JULIAN'S POV I stepped out of the car with a small smile on my face. Abel stroked my hair slightly, arranging the messy strands. "Let's go." He said and led the way. The script felt heavier in my hand. I couldn't stop blaming myself for making the stupid decision to accept the script, especially when I knew Fred was the male lead. If only I could go back in time, I'd never call Director James or even try to sponsor the drama. Talking about sponsorship... "Abel, has my dad reviewed the sponsorship contract I sent to him?" I asked curiously. Abel shook his head and raised a brow. "Mr Xavier didn't tell you?" Confused, I paused and faced him. "What? Did Xavier do something?" Xavier was my lover, but we weren't exactly close. We hardly share things about our personal lives, and like he said before our marriage, we were both free to live our lives the way we want. We just needed to avoid scandals. Abel smiled, "Mr Xavier sponsored the drama already. Director James called me last w

JULIAN'S POV I silently turned around and tiptoed back to my room. I couldn't let the grannies see me, or I would really want to disappear. I gently held the doorknob and twisted it. I tried my best to suppress the noise. "Julian?" A call. "Isn't that Julian?" My grandmother's familiar voice rang again, and my expression crumbled. I froze, knuckles whitening as I tried not to turn around. "Grand. Grandmother..." I called softly. I heard a cheerful clap. "He's indeed the one." Xavier's grandmother exclaimed. "That stinky boy refused to answer his calls. We had to risk it here, hoping one of you would be at home." She explained, and I heard footsteps. It seemed they were getting closer. My fingers trembled, and I immediately opened the door, intending to rush in. "Julian!" My grandmother yelled. My body tensed. I felt like crying. Turning around, I saw the two grandmothers staring at me with confusion in their eyes. "What's going on with you? You won't even greet us?" My stern

JULIAN'S POV I watched as Xavier left the room with a small pout on my face. I covered my face with the pillow, squeezed the duvet, and screamed. The muffled scream seemed not to be enough, so I screamed again. Damn it!Damn oestrus. I kicked my legs in the air but stopped with a sharp wince when the movement sent pain to my sore waist. I turned my belly in bed and gently closed my eyes. The beast had left, and I was left alone at home. I had nothing to do for the day anyway...I had just closed my eyes, ready to sleep when my phone rang out. Begrudgingly, I opened my eyes and pulled the phone closer to take a look at the caller___ Abel. I frowned slightly and answered the call. Lazily placed it on loudspeaker and closed my eyes. "Hm?" "Julian, what's up? I've been calling for a week already!" Abel sounded like he was crying!Unconcerned, I pulled the phone closer to my mouth and sneered. "Say whatever you want to say, or I will end the call." I felt too lazy for his tactics.
