JARED"So?" The question came out of my mouth before I found it ridiculous. Nate was bold enough to hurt me when Sterly still kept him around, which I knew was probably because he had a twisted sense of love. Now that he had escaped, he would probably stop at nothing to make sure I would never be able to stay with Sterly. My life was in danger. I hadn't thought about this before and would have never expected that Nate could become such a menace. My heart ached for Sterly. How painful was it to know that the person you loved for years and even waited for returned to be someone entirely different and was even creating troubles for you? He must feel downcast. I stood on my toes and planted a kiss on Sterly's chin. "Okay," I agreed. The bodyguards could protect me. Relief flashed through Sterly's eyes as he nodded. He packed the used plates and went to the kitchen to wash them while I waited for him in the dining room. We'd spent more than thirty minutes in the dining room,

JAREDSterly carried me toward the dining room and helped me sit down. A groan escaped my lips when my butt touched the seat, and I stood up abruptly. Sterly held my waist. "I'm sorry, I forgot." He said apologetically. With me in one arm, he picked up the soft pillow with the other and placed it on the dining seat. After that, he sat me down on it gently. "Is this better?" He asked. "Yes, it is," I replied with a small smile on my face. My fingers trembled slightly as I tried to adjust myself on the seat to lessen my pain. I couldn't help but give Sterly a hard glare. He smiled, ruffled my hair, and had his seat. "I will have to go to the office after we are done eating. Are you okay alone at home or would you like to go with me?" Sterly asked as he served my food. My eyes widened. Eagerness bloomed in my chest as I rejoiced inwardly. Could I go with him to his office? How sweet was that?But the happiness dwindled as fast as it came. I'd promised Stephen to meet up at ho

JAREDListening to Sterly recount the things that happened after he left me that day, I felt both relieved and sad. Relieved that Sterly finally realized Nate's true nature and stopped indulging him. Relieved that Sterly wasn't hurt too much. Relieved that he was able to cut ties with Nate without losing himself. Relieved that he punished Nate without considering the love he once had for him. However, I was also sad. Sad that Sterly had to go through so much for the sake of love.Sad that I blamed him for something without asking for his opinion. I should have trusted him. I should have known the man I fell for and understood what he could do and wouldn't do. I was guilty...I forced my body up from the bed and hugged Sterly tightly. "It must have been tough on you," I whispered, feeling emotional. Sterly rubbed my back and rested his head on mine. "No, I saw you the moment I got home." He responded. My heart trembled. I wanted to raise my head, but Sterly wouldn't budge.

JAREDI glanced at the hanger that was about to hit my head but was swiftly flung away by Sterly, and I blinked rapidly, light showing within my eyes. A grin appeared on my face as I jumped on Sterly, curling my legs around his waist while my arms hugged his neck. "You're back," I mumbled, pressing toward his neck to perceive his scent. Sterly, held my butt and walked toward the bed. He sat down, making me sit on his lap, straddling him.He held my cheeks, and his eyes searched mine. "You're in heat?" He asked. My lips pursed as a confirmation slipped through my tongue. "The drug probably worked too hard, pushing me toward my heat." I lamented, blinking innocently. I knew the mention of the drug would make Sterly sad, so I volunteered to act cute. Fortunately, it worked. Sterly's dim eyes turned slightly bright as he let out a small smile. "I'm sorry," He whispered. "No, you shouldn't," I replied and caught his lips in mine. "You have to work hard, Sterly. Who knows how lo

JAREDI walked out of the bathroom, feeling even more uncomfortable than I was before I went in. I picked up my phone to dial Sterly's line, but the sound of a phone ringing under the pillow stopped me. Raising the pillow, I realized it was Sterly's phone. He had left his phone behind. A frown formed on my face. The heat was painful. It was scary, and it made me uncomfortable. But where was Sterly?Why wouldn't he leave with his phone?I slumped in bed, wrapped the duvet around myself, and buried my head deeper into the pillow. Sterly's cedarwood scent wafted into my nose from the pillow, but it wasn't enough. It was too little. Groans left my throat as my eyes turned misty. The air had long become thick with orchid pheromone, and my body wouldn't stop twitching. I scrambled out of bed and began searching for my suit. Maybe Sterly kept some prohibitor in it? He used to do that ever since I had my estrus at the last banquet...I searched around the room and soon found the

STERLYI pushed open the door and stepped in. Sitting at the edge of the bed with his finger in his mouth was Nate. His eyes drooped, and his shoulders hung low, making him look pitiful. For a moment, I felt like he had returned to the innocent Nate I knew more than seven years ago. The Nate who would hold my hand anywhere he went. The Nate who wouldn't stop telling me how amazing I was. For a 15-year-old young alpha who built a company of his own, the pressure was high, and I had no one to rely on. I couldn't tell my family as I was certain they would stop me instead. My parents would make me return home to play like a child that I was, and my siblings would make trouble. They would all advise me to stop. All I had back then was an omega classmate. He was beautiful and kind. Everyone in the class loved him. He was like a bright star, stunning, close yet untouchable. His presence healed me. And when he demanded to be my friend, I couldn't be any happier. It was like my dr

EPILOGUEJULIAN Grandmother Alice and my grandmother both held one boy and one girl while the remaining boy was being held by my husband, Xavier. The room was filled with guests as it was our children's year birthday. The babies: Finn, Leo, and Mia all had a smile on their faces as they were held behind the grand cake that was made for them. Looking around the room, I saw Abel, Director James, and a few people working in Xavier's company. They all gave their gifts and wished the children well. Xavier held my hand, squeezing gently as a hearty smile bloomed on his face. The ceremony continued for a while before Xavier handed the baby over to my mother. I followed him to my mother and poked the baby's cheeks. His round cheek pulled as he opened his small mouth and laughed. The baby looked cute... He was the only one who looked exactly like me. Taking after both my eyes and tender face. I knew without even conducting a test that he was an omega. The rest, Finn and Mia, were bo

JULIANXavier and I sat at grandmother Alice's bedside, listening to her weak voice as she told us stories about her past. I rubbed my cheeks that were starting to ache after laughing for a whole afternoon. "Grandmother, so what made you leave the military?" I asked with eager eyes. Grandmother Alice chuckled and feigned a pitiful expression. "Of course, I got pregnant." She revealed I exhaled, showing shock. "Really?" "Yes. I had to follow my husband after that." Xavier shook his head. "I bet that was the main reason."Grandmother Alice's cheeks burned red as she raised her hand to knock Xavier's shoulder. We all laughed at her action. Right then, the door creaked, and turning around, I saw a doctor walk in. He approached with a smile and greeted Grandmother Alice. "The surgery was successful, Grandma, but you know you still need a lot of rest, right?" He asked in a kind voice. Grandmother Alice's face grew tense at the doctor's words, and she glanced at my belly. "But doct

JULIANI watched as Xavier dropped the call and began typing on his phone. I had a bad premonition. "What's the issue? Did something happen at work?" I asked curiously. Xavier shook his head. He looked into my eyes and his lips pressed into a thin line. "It's about you." He mumbled "About me?" I was surprised. What could it be?"Tell me," I said. Xavier's eyes flickered with anger. His soft expression turned into coldness, and his jaw clenched. "Someone revealed that you got pregnant without marriage." He mumbled.His tone was low and filled with worry. He held my hand and squeezed gently. "I told you this because I know you are strong." He said. Looking into his eyes, I could see the immense sincerity in them, which surprisingly distracted my thoughts from the reveal online. The corners of my lips pulled up in a soft smile, and I patted the hand that held mine. "Hm. I'm fine." I nodded. This was true. I had always feared being exposed and even once wished this day would ne

JULIAN"Some fun?" I asked, feigning ignorance. Xavier's smile deepened. His fingers trailed along the lines of my legs, and he winked. "Something that will make you feel good." He said, his voice being low and seductive.My throat parched and heat formed within me. "Pervert." My tongue let out. Xavier let out a chuckle as he pulled my legs, making me lie flat on the couch, and he pressed a kiss on my lips. The warmth covered me whole, pushing back every distracting thought in my heart. Wait... thoughts?Xavier, you bastard!He actually changed my topic!!!I stretched out my hands, ready to give him a punch, but I... ended up hugging him instead, and the kiss deepened. Um... I guess I've been charmed. *************A message popped up on my phone, waking me up from my short nap, and checking my phone, I realized it was a message from Abel. "Check the FESTERING HEART Crew group." I read the message, and my brows creased. Festering heart? What happened?But I still clicked on

JULIAN"Who else knows about this?" I asked through difficult breathing. Fred shook his head. "No one else did. I've been trying my best to keep the secret from you." He explained. But that only scared me more. Fred was a scum and no word from his tongue could be trusted. I stared into his eyes, trying to see if he was deceiving me, but this thought was quickly forgotten by me as Fred wasn't someone I could easily read into. If that was possible, I'd have found out he was deceiving me when we were dating back then. I'd have found out he never loved me...But he was cunning. He'd never let out his real feelings. I clenched my fist and tried to control my breathing as I was starting to feel weak from within. "Don't ever tell anyone," I said hoarsely. Fred shook his head. "I will never tell anyone." He said solemnly. But it was hard to put my mind at rest... I braced myself, stood right, and glared at him. I tried my best to look menacing as my lips parted: "If I hear this fro

JULIAN I stared at the silver drink inside the cup, and my heart thumped. What if the alcohol harmed my babies? "I don't want to," I said in a low voice, pushing the cup back to the actress. Her expression changed as blush crept to her cheeks. "Ah, Mr Julian, can't you give me a little face?" She asked, blinking. I could tell she was embarrassed. My eyes glinted with hidden resentment as I looked at the female actress. Her words had attracted the attention of the rest, and everyone was looking at us with questions in their eyes.Not taking the drink from her would make them think I was arrogant. But taking it from her... what would happen to my babies?I secretly glanced at my belly, and my heart felt heavy. What was I supposed to do?The thoughts crossed my mind, and my eyes slowly stilled. Annoying the people here wouldn't matter much anyway. I might never see them again after the drama aired...I stretched my hand forward, ready to take the cup and drop it aside, but a slen

Brewster listened to the man speak and tears welled up in his eyes. After everything that had happened in the past two weeks, he had come to terms with many things and knew that many impossible things were happening in his life. Mr Ace... was begging him?Ace stepped forward and knelt before Brewster. He really didn't know what to do... "I've broken things up with Ian. I love you, Brewster. I..." He trailed off. What was he supposed to say next?He could only bow his head as he silently wished Brewster would see how sincere his heart was and forgive him for everything. He knew he had really gone too far in the past... He wished he could return to those days and remind himself of now. Maybe things would have been different?Brewster could not say a word. His tears dropped as he watched the man who knelt before him. His fingers flickered. He wanted to hold the man up and hug him back. He wanted to confess his love to the man, but was this really right? After everything the man had

Brewster couldn't believe his ears. He staggered toward the door and opened it wide to see his parents standing at the entrance. The two stared at each other with warm smiles on their faces and conversed happily.Brewster pinched his neck harshly, trying to see if this was one of his numerous dreams about his parents, but only the pain was felt. The scene remained the same. Brewster opened his mouth to talk, but only a whimper escaped his lips as tears rolled down his face. He opened his arms and hugged the couple outside the door. The two were slightly surprised at the sudden weight, but how could they not know it was their son? They opened their arms and hugged him tightly, steadying him and protecting him from falling back. Jim watched the family of three for a while, and he nodded with red eyes. He was really happy for Brewster. At least, the departure of Ace wouldn't sadden him too much, right? He suddenly felt the urge to call his lover, too...Brewster and his family hug

Brewster stayed in the hospital for two weeks. Jim came over several times to convince him to return to the company, but after hearing the little man's explanation, Jim no longer had a word to say. It was his biggest wish for Brewster to escape Ace's clutch, and if this was the only way, then he would support it. "I'm also planning to resign." He told Brewster. Brewster raised a brow, shocked at his brother Jimmy's words. "Didn't you tell me your lover is the chairman of our industry? Why do you want to resign?" He couldn't understand. Jim smiled and shook his head. "If it isn't you, then I don't want to be anyone's agent, Brewster. Now that you no longer want to return, I also don't want to return." He said. "We will work together and pay back all the money you owed Mr Ace. After that, we can pursue your singing talent. Or even better, we can start pursuing your singing talent now." Though he didn't have much trust in Brewster's singing talent, he was still very interested in he

Brewster, who hadn't seen his mother in more than four months, had to compose himself as he entered his mother's ward. But to his surprise, his mother was no longer there. His heart trembled as he rushed out of the room and made his way to the doctor's office. He knocked on the door and was soon permitted to step in. "Brewster," the doctor called kindly when he saw Brewster. Brewster panted as he held the door. "Doctor, where's my mum?" He asked, breathing hard. The doctor pushed up his glasses and stood up. He poured a cup of water, which he handed over to Brewster. "Your mother is fine. She went out with her doctor for a seminar." He explained. Brewster took a step back in shock. His mother went to a seminar? A seminar?"How could..." "The surgery has been done, and it was successful." The doctor interrupted. Brewster's eyes widened. His lips parted into a round O. The doctor saw his expression and chuckled. "Mr Ace invited a lot of specialists to take care of your mother

"What did you say?" Brewster asked in a low voice. He couldn't believe his ears, and for some reason, he didn't want to believe it. His heart raced really fast. It was so fast that it ached terribly, and he felt like screaming his lungs out. Ace's expression was grave as he looked at the young man in front of him. His chest felt uncomfortable for some reason. Ace pinched his brows, feeling conflicted within him, which confused him a lot. But he still opened his mouth to repeat his words. "I've found Ian." He mumbled in a low voice. Honestly, he had no idea why he was telling the little star this. He had even lesser idea why he felt so terrible within him. Ian had been the person he'd been searching for for a few years, and this had even caused him countless sleepless nights, giving him both headaches and heartaches. So, why wasn't he feeling the expected happiness when he found the young man again?He was supposed to stay with Ian in the hospital today as the man had an accide

Jim's lips twitched. With the smile on Brewster's face, he could tell the young man had already done something toward the direction of being a singer even before he asked any questions. He helplessly nodded his head. Though, he had no idea if Brewster truly had a talent for singing or not. Anyway, Brewster was still so young, and it was only right for him to have a bit of fun. Especially when he wasn't yet popular. Everything he did before fame could be swept under the rug when he became popular. Jim made a decision. Brewster was overjoyed. He cheered in the car, and subsequently, the remaining distance to the castle was breached. Jim and Brewster were driven to the main castle where Brewster's things were packed with the help of the guards. Jim escorted Brewster into his room, but his expression showed his urgency as he looked around with no intention of sitting. "What's it, brother Jimmy?" Brewster asked, feeling curious about what made Jim look so impatient. Jim rubbed hi
