All Chapters of His Elusive Omega, His Resolute Alpha: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

When I finally found time to call Adam back, he had been blasting my phone for a good hour. By then, I had managed to get myself into the hotel I’d booked and started packing my things with military efficiency.Only once the group call with my squad on a secure line ended could I check my normal phone, only to see evidence of Adam panicking on the other side.Well, shit. I knew this day was coming, and I had been transparent with Adam from the start about the situation of my employment by the United States Army. Adam, for his part, had been pretty accepting of the situation, but recently, I realized how much the knowledge had been feeding his anxieties.The situation was frustrating. I wished that I could get out of the whole thing completely, but apparently, command was reluctant to let go of one of their best teams. It would’ve been fine if it was one or two squad members, but half of our team wanted to quit, and they just weren’t having it.If Command had their way, we would still

Take over.Take over as the CEO.Be the new Mr. Kennedy, just like my father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, and countless others.Be the spearhead of a billion-dollar empire, which, if the projections work out, will be a trillion-dollar empire in the matter of months once Neurogen is developed to its full potential and hits the market.The company, and really, half the corporate world, considered my father to be the best Kennedy to ever lead the company. Before him, we were only multi-millionaires, and we were as global as we became.And as his son, people expected more from me. Had been doing so since the day I was born. I had more advantages than my father did, what with the technological and scientific developments of the current age. I had more reach available to me, and I was already established in the company hierarchy. Also, I was already older than my father when he took over the company, and with age came experience and perspective.No wonder people expected more.But

“Adam, please, how is that relevant to this?” Mom asked, genuinely confused.“Because it’s the only thing I know for a fact that you’re keeping a secret from me,” I replied. “And it’s the biggest thing you and Dad and the entire family have tried to hide my whole life.”Mom stared at me for a moment and took a deep breath.“Do you not think that the reason we’re not telling you about it is because it’s not relevant to you?”The way she asked that question made me angry. It was such a foreign emotion, because I had never been angry with my mother for anything, not even when she invited Annalise Westley into our house right after she killed our baby.But at the way she phrased that question, my anger flared.“She was my Nana,” I pointed out, trying to keep my voice calm. “When you and Dad were away, she raised me. Why would her sudden exit from my life be irrelevant to me?”“Nana leaving was not your fault.”“I never implied that,” I pointed out. “So, it’s strange that’s the first place

There was an entire traditional ceremony ready to welcome us in the village of Gigan, and suffice to say, it was a colorful affair. I wasn’t quite certain what the entire thing was, but there were dances, some sort of an opening ritual, and quite a number of speeches.After the ceremony, we were shown to the sanitation plant and given a tour by the Head Engineer. Obviously, the village was situated at the foot of two mountains, and it was one of the few villages that survived the building of the Gigan reservoir, which sparkled blue right next to the village.It was a smaller, newer reservoir built as part of a larger hydroelectric power plant project, but we had nothing to do with that. However, the water from the reservoir was used in the sanitation plant, and it was predicted to provide enough drinkable water for almost all the villages in the mountain range as well as the nearby valley.It was an ambitious project, especially considering it was a charity project, and I really hoped

John had rented out a room in a nearby house. It was a tiny room, jam-packed even though everything John seemed to own could be stashed in the trunk of a jeep. But John had kept it quite tidy, everything stashed meticulously on every available surface.Most of them were books. There were all sorts of books written in both English and the native language of Oyolle, and from the first glance I could tell the subject matter varied. Some looked like they were autobiographies and historical accounts, while some were fantasy and romances. There were also exercise books in between, and a stack of files with clearly written paper.“Please make yourself comfortable,” he said, gesturing at the only chair in the room, and turned on the little electric fan on the table. “If you’d like to use the bathroom, it’s just around the corner, and it’s relatively clean.”He stood at the door, wringing his hands nervously.“I can get you a beverage, if you’d like? You will have to wait until they bring your
