บททั้งหมดของ The Dominant Alpha's Perfect Obsession with his Janitor: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 78

The ER smells sterile, sharp and familiar.Why the hell do I always end up in the hospital?My mind swirls, from one panic-attached thought to another, until finally, finally, I notice it.The flimsy trail that my anger made me blind to. The real and unabashed reality.I can’t win; I can never win against Niklaus.So why… why would I risk the life growing inside of me to fight him?Marrying him means living in fear of reliving my mother’s life. One day, he will bring a child into the house, one he has fathered during his rut, in the name of ‘only a dominant omega is able to handle him during said time’. Of course, after last ni-, was it even last night? How many days did he spend fucking me?There is no calendar in the room, but I know it was not one.Hah… I actually can't handle his rut. The fact that I'm here, at the hospital, proves that.What other truths do I have to swallow now? Oh, right…that we are married… that killing my child’s father is no more merciful than preventing a

The next morning smells like weak hospital coffee and delightful hospital banter.“I can't believe he let you stay.”Nicole finally says in the awkward silence that had filled the morning consultation session.“Ugh, don’t say it like that.”I groan.“You make it sound as if I have to ask his permission for basic health care.”“Don’t you?”Nicole, the doctor answers with a shrug. The other nurse snorts as she fluffs my pillow with unnecessary finesse.“But still, I never thought a ‘Heinrich’ would ever marry a beta. I mean… he’s an asshole.”“Professional assessment?”I ask.“A clinical one.” She replies.“I mean, he is less of an ass than his family, they are downright cruel, him, on the other hand, his cruelty lies in ‘indifference’.”“Isn't that the worst of them?”“Yeah… but, I didn’t expect much from him, so I always thought he was the kindest one. Do you know that he first spoke to me ten years ago? Guess what he asked?”“What?”“‘Why aren’t you attending the gatherings anymore

"So you caved?"Dr Nicole asks as she changes the bandages on my neck in my bedroom.Her voice sounds too cheerful for someone peeling off gauze. "I prefer the term strategic retreat."I mutter.My gaze turns to the door, where two of Niklaus’s men stand to watch for ‘potential flirting’, of which offering hydration is one of them, as exhibited by their disapproval when I offered water to the nurse Dr Nicole sent in her place yesterday.I guess that’s considered foreplay in his world."You are healing well. Tomorrow I will bring some alpha pheromone samples with me. Ideally, being pregnant, the only scent you should pick up is that of your baby’s father, but the test is important nonetheless.”She says as she pulls off her gloves and steps back from my frame."Sounds-"Before I can answer, the bell rings."You have guests?""I do not. Rather, the only ones who would come to see me would have called first.”I mutter with a frown.As far as everyone knows, I should still be at the hosp

“Move that console table to the west wall.”I instruct, scanning the foyer, then looking at the furniture catalogue.“No, not there. It looks like clutter.”I say to the maid handling the wall clock.Hiring new staff came easy, fitting the house to my taste because I am bored by the hospital-mandated ‘house rest’, however, is something else.I have never been a hoarder, but a few days ago, Mia’s wedding gift, which was all the things I left in her house, arrived.“Yes, sir.”The maid agrees and moves busily.Considering Mia hasn’t responded to my phone calls, I’d take this to mean that she isn’t ready to make peace with me.“The lilies have been moved to go to guest room three, Mrs Heinr- Lucien.”The maid corrects herself readily; all the ‘properly trained’ house helps have a difficult time with my title, perhaps because it has always been accepted that whoever marries a dominant alpha becomes a ‘madam’.Urgh… rich people need to use their time better.“White only.
