CHAPTER 171: CINDY

JAREDI stared at the message with disbelief in my eyes. Marriage? Cindy?How?How could Cindy get married?She had never mentioned having a partner, and neither had she shown any signs of going out with someone. How could she suddenly have a partner?It sounded ridiculous even to my ears. Stephen walked closer and stood beside me. "What's it?" "Your parents?"I shook my head. "It's Shawn," I mumbled. "He said Cindy is getting married." Stephen's eyes widened. "To whom? It can't be for Shawn, right?" My lips twitched. I suddenly felt the urge to hit Stephen's head. If Shawn were the one getting married to Cindy, he wouldn't have said Cindy was getting married. Instead, it would have been 'we are getting married.' But that wasn't the real point. The main point was that Stephen really believed Cindy loved Shawn...I shook my head and dialed Shawn's line. It was picked only after the first ring. "Shawn," "Jared, you got the message, right?" Shawn's clear and calm voice ran

CHAPTER 172: SEDUCED

JAREDStephen and I no longer had the heart to enter the Rage Room, and after eating at a restaurant, we went our separate ways. I called Sterly, who came to take me home while Stephen drove home by himself. "Why is your face so dull?" "Did something happen today?" Sterly asked when I entered the car. He held my chin and placed a soft kiss on my lips. "Tell me, did anyone bully you?" A smile involuntarily formed on my face, and my lips pursed. "It's Cindy," I mumbled. Sterly's brows raised. "Cindy? Isn't that your friend?" My eyes lit up slightly. Sterly remembered my friends?Considering his work and how busy he was, I didn't expect him to remember Cindy. Or maybe I was only thinking too much. "I didn't tell you, but she disappeared during Stephen's wedding..." I explained everything to him, and when I was done, Sterly sighed and sat back in his seat. "Do you need my help?" He asked calmly. Seeing the calmness in his eyes, I was reminded of the immense power he possesse

CHAPTER 173: FEVER

JAREDSterly had only driven away when someone tapped my shoulder. When I turned around, I saw Stephen grinning at me. He took my backpack off my shoulder and threw it on his. "Let's go to class." "The professor should already be in class." I checked the time and shook my head. "No, we are early." I intentionally came earlier, planning to have a full discussion with my friends about Cindy before the class started. If that didn't happen, I wouldn't be able to understand anything in the class, and that would be brutal. I would be in my final year in a few months, and I needed every credit I could get at this point. Stephen held my hand and smiled. "I was only teasing you." "Let's go. Shawn must be waiting for us." "Hm," I agreed with him, and we left for the class. Our entrance into the class attracted the attention of some of our classmates who stood up and approached us. "Congratulations, Stephen.""I saw the videos of our wedding online. They were so beautiful.""I'm so ha

CHAPTER 174: JARED'S FEAR

JAREDMy lips parted, but I was left speechless. I had no idea what to think or say. I even thought I heard him wrong. Shawn loved me?My stomach fluttered. With his coldness and usual indifference, I'd always thought he didn't trust me enough and didn't want to be my friend. He was someone I admired so much. An omega who evoked respect from other omegas and someone I would love to be friends with for a long time. But if he didn't want me, there would be nothing I could do. I'd always thought our friendship would end after university, but with this confession, I could tell Shawn loved me as much as I loved him. He saw me as a friend and would never regret being my friend. A smile formed on my face, and I patted his lap. "I love you more." "Let's be close friends forever, okay?" Shawn groaned with his eyes closed but said nothing. He must have fallen asleep. I sighed deeply. I wondered which stupid alpha hadn't appreciated this omega gem and didn't reciprocate his love.

CHAPTER 175: SHAWN'S STORY

JARED"I'm sorry, Jared,"Shawn mumbled after a while. I raised my head, and our eyes met. His eyes flickered with pain and something I couldn't understand. "I will no longer hurt myself." "I will no longer do something that can cause me harm." He said slowly. I sniffed and stared at him without a word. Shawn stretched his hand and placed it on mine. "From now on, I will no longer think negatively of myself." "I will protect myself." My eyelashes trembled, dropping tears that hung on them. "Are you sure?" It was hard to believe. He agreed so easily. Was it because he wanted to make me stop crying and then continue using the repressant?No, Shawn mustn't do that. The doctor said he would lose his life if he continued!"Shawn, if you use any more repressants, I will hate you," I said firmly. Shawn's expression froze. His eyes met mine, but I couldn't decipher what his thoughts were. That didn't matter anyway. I only needed to let him know my stand. Shawn had to stop. The

CHAPTER 176: A PLAN?

JARED I picked up the phone and answered the call. "Hello?" I asked in a low voice, fearful of being mistaken. "Jared? Is that you?" Cindy's small voice came through the phone. My eyes lit up. It was really Cindy. She had called! "Cindy, are you okay?" I asked hurriedly. Shawn raised a brow, seemingly waiting for her reply, too. Cindy was silent for a while, and my heart raced in anticipation of the silence. Judging from how fast her words were uttered, I could tell she was using someone else's phone as usual, and she didn't want to be caught. So, why was she quiet? "Jared," she called. My ears perked up. "I'm getting married." "The man is a ruthless old man. He has many omegas already..." She trailed off. It seemed she was crying. I exhaled shakily. "Can you rescue me, please? I don't want this wedding." "But I've prepared everything. I only need to escape, and I can live away from my stepmother." "Can you help me?" Her voice grew s

CHAPTER 177: THE PLAN

JARED Shawn and Stephen looked at me with their jaw wide open. After a few seconds, Stephen picked up my spoon and silently wiped it clean with a wipe. He took my hand and placed the spoon back in it. "Eat, okay?" His voice was low. It was more like he was coaxing a child. My brows creased. What was Stephen thinking about? Why would he coax me like I was a little child? The plan... wasn't it great? Would we crash the wedding and take Cindy away... wouldn't that be right? But then... they would see us as criminals and even arrest us. Also, the alpha might be a powerful one with lots of alphas working under him. What if they suppressed us with their pheromones? We would be like sheep ready to be slaughtered. That would be too brutal. I bit my lower lip as I started thinking again. We needed a more feasible plan. "How about this..." I mumbled, staring into Stephen's eyes. "We can create a scandal for the man and threaten him with the scandal t

CHAPTER 178: LUNCH

JARED Stephen, Shawn, and I got to the apartment and met the man already standing outside the door. A radiant smile appeared on his face when he saw us, and he rushed over, taking my hand in his. "Son, you are here." He mumbled. I nodded, returning a smile. "Hello, uncle," "Hello, Uncle," Stephen and Shawn greeted him. The man looked even more excited. He patted both Shawn's and Stephen's shoulders. "Good boys." "Thank you for taking good care of my son." He appreciated. "Are you Stephen?" He asked, looking at Stephen. Stephen nodded. "I'm Stephen, and this is Shawn," He introduced. The man glanced at me, and his eyes softened considerably. "Jared told me a lot about you, Stephen." "Thanks for being there with him when he needed someone the most." "His mum and I had always wished to see you," He said solemnly. Stephen's eyes shifted, and he lowered his head. Tints of red could be seen on his cheeks. I laughed. It was rare to see Stephen bein

CHAPTER 179: JARED'S FEAR

JARED I patted Stephen's back while he drank the water handed over to him by Sterly. Amongst everyone in the table, only Sterly still looked as composed as ever, and his eyes were fixed on my parents as if asking for their reply. Stephen wouldn't stop cursing. Shawn looked like he was in a daze as he stared dazedly at me. My father had his lips wide open, and the beef was about to fall from his mouth. My mother's eyes widened in shock. And I, I looked on, wondering why Sterly had to speak at a time like this. However, I was excited. Due to Cindy's matter, I hadn't been able to think about the wedding ever since Sterly proposed to me, and I hadn't even told my parents. Hearing Sterly mention it again brought me immeasurable joy, and I couldn't wait for it to happen. I took Sterly's hand and showed our clasped hand to everyone. "Sterly and I already made up our minds to have our wedding." "But we want to give everyone the right to choose the date for it.

CHAPTER 180: "I'M TIRED"

JAREDHearing what the woman said, I was stunned for a few seconds and had no idea what to say or even think about. She wanted me to stay with her until the wedding day. Didn't that mean I wouldn't have to postpone the wedding?But also, I wouldn't be sharing bed with Sterly until the wedding night...I glanced at Sterly, who smiled softly at me. Even if he didn't say a word, I knew he would support whatever decision I made. But my eyes also settled on the couple, and when I saw the sadness within their eyes, I felt miserable. I bit my lower lip and slowly nodded my head. "The wedding will take place on December 24th," I mumbled, looking at the couple. December 24th was far away, but it should also be enough to satisfy the couple and make them let go of any lingering reluctance in their heart. December 24th... it was more than two weeks away, but it was exactly enough. The couple's eyes lit up, and the two broke into a pleasant smile. "This is good. This is so good." The woma
