All Chapters of His Elusive Omega, His Resolute Alpha: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

I thought that my first meeting with Maya after her wedding would be tense and awkward.We didn’t part on the best terms after the wedding. August had been pissed at the way I talked to Victory and demanded that I leave the wedding right then and there, and Maya thought I did it on purpose to ruin her wedding day.While I had done it on purpose, the way she accused me pissed me off because at the time, all I could think of was how she had dared to act like a saint after keeping such a big secret from me. So, when she said that I ruined her wedding, I told her that I may have ruined her big day, but she had ruined my entire life.Of course, she knew what I was talking about, and she’d instantly burst into tears. This set off the elder Graces, and I nearly walked out of the wedding then and there. But Maya managed to calm everyone down, and the reception went on; after she cut the cake, I slipped out quietly without even telling her.At the time, I had been so angry and hurt. It was the

My head was pounding with this new information, and my heart raced. There it was. There was my opening.“You’re telling me that Mom and Dad were aware of this sex club thing before yesterday?” I asked with the appropriate amount of horror.“I don’t know if they were aware of the that,” Maya fidgeted with her fingers. “But they definitely knew that Victory and August were in love and Victory’s parents would never let them be together unless of course, either Victory or August had a buffer to cover for them.”“Like a wife.”Maya gritted her teeth and nodded.“So, you were lied to as well.”My fake adoptive sister let out a bitter laugh at that.“This is my karma, isn’t it? I thought they would neve do that to me, only you, but in the end, they treated me the same way I treated you. How ironic.”My stomach turned at those words, because something told me she didn’t quite mean the hiding my supposed ‘transition’ when she talked about lying to me.I didn’t know what to do with her guilt, so

“I…I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Maya stuttered. “Why would we have any business with the Hawthornes?! I wasn’t even aware of their existence until their daughter decided to fuck my husband.”“You said the Hawthornes had never done us wrong,” I pointed out. “And you’re acting awfully fishy right now. In case you have forgotten, I’ve been trained to interrogate people who blew shit up for a living.”“I thought you were in the army! Why the hell would you-nevermind, I don’t want to know. And I meant to say that before this, the Hawthornes had not been any of our concern, because we’ve never had any contact with them.”I sighed. “Are you really going to make me do this?”“Do what?”I looked her in the eye and watched the blood drain from her face as I said, “I know.”Maya’s mouth fell open, and her eyes widened to the size of saucers. Jesus Christ, how did she manage to hide about real Colton for so long? She was a horrible actress.“…know what?” she asked, and that proved tha

“Wait, wait, wait, hold up,” I cut in before she could go on. “You mean to tell me that we—me and you—have met the Hawthornes before?”Maya nodded.“Multiple times. We kept going to their galas at least once a year. But after you started acting out, you refused to go. After that, it was only me.”“So that means you’ve met her before,” I said. “Victory.”Maya cracked a sardonic smile. “I don’t think she remembers me all that well. I only talked with her a handful of times. But yeah, I did. Not just her. The son…I’ve met him too, but I don’t think I’ve ever talked to him.”“Why?” I asked faintly, like I wasn’t trying to mine all the information I could. “Too big-headed for the likes of us?”“Victory, totally, but I just think Revon was just an introvert. He looked so nervous all the time back then, and then he stopped attending altogether, so…anyways, I attended the parties until the Hawthornes stopped having them.”She trailed off after that as if she was lost in thought, and I blinked,

“Adam!” I gasp into the phone as soon as the call connects. “Adam, I need you!”“Revon?!” Adam’s voice goes from zero to panicked in the matter of seconds, instantly alert. “Are you hurt? Where are you? I’m going to send someone right now; better yet, I’m going to call the police!”“Not hurt,” I manage to breathe out, my heart racing in my chest. “I need to hear your voice. Talk!”“…what?”“Just talk,” I commanded, feeling more desperate with each passing minute. “I’m behind some sketchy alley in New York, about to lose my shit, and you’re the only person who's capable of grounding me at a time like this, but you’re halfway across the world in Africa, and all I have is your voice, so please, just talk!”“Alright, alright, please calm down,” Adam replied hastily. “Um, we’re here in Nayala; it’s the capital city of Oyolle, but you know that, right? Mom’s here too. We made it here safely, and right now, we’re at the Grand Ritz Hotel. Funny that, huh? It’s like you can go anywhere in the w
