Aside from the omega pheromones, I also noticed a distinct odour emanating from the house.Kevin's powerful champagne scent.I wasn't expecting such a fiery flavour from him, an introverted and sensible man.I only got a tiny whiff of it, and it was as if I'd already gotten drunk.“Why are you saying that you will regret it?”Because I'm filthy?Because I'm not the ideal bed partner for you?Or,You don't want to get into any trouble?He simply looked at me and said, "Because it'll hurt you."The door slammed open immediately after he said that, and Adam broke in with two guards in tow."Brother Kevin!""What the hell is this smell? Are you okay, sigh?"As he spoke, Adam rushed in to open all the windows in the living room, then noticed Kevin was caught off guard, so he asked uncertainly, "You're...in susceptible period?"Kevin gave a nod.Adam froze for a moment before finally saying, "...that's awesome.""In the bedroom, I knocked that person out. Please remove him from my sight." K
Kevin's sigh brushed against my neck."I'd like to know what I want as well. I'm curious what led you to believe that there is only a paid relationship between people.""I'm not interested in your money...""I don't want you to pay me back." He took a deep breath and buried his head on my shoulder. "If you do it again, I will do something I will regret.I gradually calmed down after being held by Kevin for a long time.Kevin persevered despite the fact that the house still had pheromones left by Zen. He couldn't go on like this, so we returned to Deep Meadow.The Alphas and Omegas consciously vanished within Kevin's perceptible range, leaving only the Butler, a beta, at the door.Kevin took my hand as we exited the car. I was embarrassed to flee, and the kind old gentlemen noticed and teased me, saying, "The little young master really couldn't leave sir for a moment.""Indeed," Kevin said calmly, one step ahead of me.His hands were big, his palms were hot and comfortable, and his lit
We saw the parade on the road after riding the merry-go-round. The kids ran after the bouncing sail. Kevin led me to the roadside, grabbed the helium balloon in my hand, and then held my hand."There are too many people, and it's easy to become separated." He casually mentioned ignoring my red-faced face.“Mm…”The sun was shining brightly, and my face was scorching.'It's the sun... it's the sun...'I didn't tell him it was my first visit to an amusement park.Kevin went ice cream shopping, while I sat on the seat outside the castle and waited.I didn't notice the jewel-eyed, plump little girl next to me, who was staring at me with great anticipation.I followed her gaze and looked down to see the Doll I was holding.It was a princess doll, and the little girl was dressed similarly.The little girl appeared to be four to five years old, dressed in a fuzzy princess gown made of pink cotton.Very cute.“Little sister.” I gave her a friendly wave. "Where are your parents?"She blinked h
I was dubious. “Really?”"I swear." He retracted his smile and stated solemnly, "I had never considered interfering in this matter because I know you can do it."He drew me into his arms and hugged me tightly. "You are the most beautiful little flower in the world."I felt a lump in my throat and almost burst into tears. For the first time in my life, I was crying for another reason other than being sad.I got the satisfaction of being needed and a positive sense of accomplishment from Kevin that I had never felt before."We'll go meet Mr. Efrin once your body is in better shape." He took the tip of my nose. "To be honest, I wish I could be selfish and keep you, but I can't."Kevin's attitude toward my playing instruments seemed to have always been complicated. He said that most heavenly musicians died young because they burned their lives away in music, and he wanted me to live until I was old and grey.I wanted to tell him that I'd rather die than live a long life doing what I love
I lived with my nanny before I was five, and I had no idea who my parents were. I used to believe that all kids slept alone at night with the lamps on, just like me.He took me to the Neal Family when I was six years old. He couldn't stand the sight of my unkempt appearance, so he enrolled me in a private tutoring program and forced me to learn the violin. The teacher was extremely strict. He'd hit my palm if I played a wrong note, and he wouldn't let me cry.I was given the cold shoulder by the Neal family because I was an illegitimate son with an ambiguous status. Neal never showed me any concern or affection.He only provided me with food and clothing out of familial inclination.At the age of 14, my mother's lawyer approached me and handed me my mother's suicide note and inheritance.I left the Neal family for an entire 8 years and haven't seen Neal since.Later, in my mother's inheritance, I discovered a cello and a letter. He said it was his favourite thing and that he hoped I
"Um," I said as I nodded.The box contained only a few items, all of which were given by Kevin. Books, brooches, a music box, pillows, and the Princess doll he bought for me after I gave the original to the little girl.I didn't bring my instrument on purpose, giving myself a glimmer of hope, and the privilege of coming back.“Jill.” He called out my name. "I understand your decision because you're still young, but you should know that I'm not so young anymore."He approached me and stroked my hair one last time. "I'm willing to wait for you, but not for long."The doorbell then rang.Seeing Alvin after all this time felt like it had been a century.I used to look forward to him picking me up after class or college and driving me home countless times, but when the time came, I was filled with sadness.We seemed to have always lagged one step behind each other.Kevin handed Alvin my suitcase and said, "The medicines he usually takes are here, and each bottle is labelled. If you're too
"I despise you."Alvin's entire body shook for a split second. "What did you say?" he asked, staring at me blankly as if he'd found that unbelievable."I said, I despise you. I will always truly hate you."I pushed him away and ran away after saying that. I noticed his absent-minded expression as if he were in a daze.I collided with a maid at the top of the stairs, knocking cups and dishes over and breaking them all over the floor. I didn't care what she said at that point, and I continued to run.The courtyard was far too large. I hunkered down on the ground for a long time before discovering the pendant by the pool.The small glass cover had been shattered, and the ash inside had been scattered on the ground, blown away by the wind and unable to be recovered.Perhaps I'd cried too much. Surprisingly, there was only emptiness in my heart at this time.In the end, I couldn't keep him...Regardless of what I did.I knelt and carefully gathered the fragments, burying them beneath the
Considering having an affair sounded similarly bad.Before I left, I removed the necklace he had given me and placed it on the desk. He noticed it but said nothing.Currently, as well. I didn't put it back on, but he wasn't upset about it.Something seemed to have changed about him, but I had no desire to investigate further.Each dress set was tried on one by one. It wasn't even my choice in the end. Alvin had decided for me, claiming that the first set was the best.The fever's lingering effects made me tired easily. I sat on the couch, watching as the store manager advised him to slim down his thighs a little more. I didn't bother interrupting.As I sat there dazed, the store's glass door squeaked open, and a tall and slender man waltzed in.My eyes widened unconsciously as I saw him approaching, and I stretched my sitting posture."Senior Nora..."Nora was dressed in a white woollen shit, with half of his hair casually falling on the front and the other half tucked behind his ear
The evening before our departure, I was preparing in my room. The baggage had been pre-checked and consisted of small souvenirs.Kevin bought a little duplex flat there with a view of the Great River when you opened the window.I don't like living in a big house. He joked that I didn't live a rich life since I married into a privileged family and didn't know how to enjoy it.I told him to enjoy himself and that he didn't have to pry into my small quilt if he didn't want to.He bullied me, yanked me up, and threw me on the bed, stating that the kitten was becoming bad.I purposefully tugged his shirt with my toes. "Would you like to give it a shot?""I have sharp teeth but my body is soft..."His gaze was fierce, and it lingered a few times on my waist, telling me to behave appropriately.Why should I be proper if the night would be long?"Sir..." I squatted and walked over to him, nibbling his chin and holding to his neck. " You're not capable? Are you sterile?""Sir" was fantastic.I
I was anticipating him to pounce on me... and praying he would.I knew deep down how much I craved his touch, but I was reluctant to show it for fear of upsetting him.But he responded calmly. "Because you will feel uneasy. And it's not good for your health," he held me desperately."I would like to break you, but I'm not ready. Good things are most beautiful when they're broken."I didn't exactly understand what he said. I'm too tired.But that's fine. I didn't hear it, so I'm going to interpret it as "I love you."…Summer has come and gone. A few droplets of rain fell and then the air became suddenly frigid.Adam's exhibition took place at the beginning of November. Before leaving, Kevin gave me a pair of knitted gloves to wear. When I put on my clothes, I noticed that the brooch was a pair and that his tie and my bow tie were the same colour."I'm powerless to stop myself. My little rose is too charming," He remarked as he kissed the back of my ear. "There will be a lot of young,
I was still surprised by Adam's feelings for Nora, so I didn't hesitate to tell Kevin about it before heading to bed."I don't think it's unexpected," he said as he encircled me from behind to blow dry my hair."Why?""What happened isn't uncommon since fate is irrational."He talked as if he hadn't said anything. "At first glance, Nora appears to be difficult to pursue." I raised my head and rubbed his face with my half-wet hair."You're also difficult to catch." Kevin bowed his head and kissed my brow. "It's also hard to raise.""At one point, something always goes wrong, as if somebody is worried I'll be too healthy." I exhaled a sigh.Kevin sighed as well, helpless. "At my age, I watch you in anxiousness every day, and if I continue to do so, either good or bad things will startle me sooner or later."I was filled with remorse. "You can't hold it against me...""I don't blame you." He put me into the quilt after blow-drying my hair. "I'm sorry, I discovered myself a little teenage
Kevin did not respond right away. After a while, he looked down at me and said, "It wasn't that I don't want to, it is indeed that I am frightened.""I am worried you will realize that he actually loves you and is willing to abandon his old personality in order to become a better individual for you."His hand caressed my cheeks."I said I wouldn't let you go again, and I won't give you freedom again, but if..."He didn't seem to be able to speak further, so I completed the remainder of the lines for him in my head.—If you really want to start over with him, I'll allow you."Liar." I took his hand with my uninjured hand, grasped his hand fiercely, and nipped it hard."Saying this after saying you will love me forever and never leave me again. Liar."Kevin was unexpectedly bitten. He didn't say anything, but his countenance was clearly perplexed.After biting, I started to regret it again. I appeared to have used too much force. My teeth left such a significant mark.Will he mistake me
"There is one thing I didn't mention to you. In truth, your cooking isn't particularly appetizing."Alvin suddenly shifted the subject, even laughing.But I have always let you cook since I prefer looking at your scuffed hands."I understand Kevin isn't like me. He would love and care for you, whilst I am a jackass who only wants to watch you weep.""You made the correct decision by leaving me."I had no idea why he would be telling me this."I'm well aware that my cooking isn't particularly tasty. I'm always disappointed when you eat so little every time."Now that I was talking about the past, it felt like a dream."I've tried countless times, but I just can't seem to get it right. I'm using the same ingredients and processes, but I just can't get it to taste well."After talking, he stated, "Leave it... when you like someone, you can't wait to show him the entire universe. It's because I didn't quite understand it earlier and felt you didn't really love me enough.""It's amusing t
He asked if I was alright and that the stairs had been blown up and the only route was now lost, which I vaguely remembered hearing from my hazy consciousness.As the fire became hotter and the smoke thicker, Alvin claimed he sought a helicopter, but the structure was too small and tight for it to land."First, wait by the window." He gave instructions.As a result of the fire, roof tiles fell from time to time. Kevin's arms protected me. They both moved slowly since they needed to avoid falling rubble on their heads and keep a close eye out for unforeseen fires.When the hollow shaft collapsed to the floor, I instinctively reached out to shield Kevin.A single stroke should be enough for the scorching metal to scorch the skin of my palm into a blackened pulp, and the agony caused me to sob.It hurts ten times as much as a cigarette burn...Kevin and Alvin both exclaimed, "Jill!" at the same time. I'd never heard them yell at me with such intensity.I tried to act normal, but all I co
"How foolish that Alvin deserted his marriage and wealth just because of a beta.""What was even more ludicrous was that he didn't keep you when he took this step. He lost both his lover and his money.""Do you know what I was thinking that day when I saw you in Kevin's apartment? I actually laughed out loud. Alvin had been cold-hearted for more than 20 years. The only gentleness he had was used on you, but you didn't give a damn.""He didn't have the heart to harass you during his susceptibility phase, however, you went with some other alpha during his susceptibility period. HAHAHA!Zen erupted in laughter. His charming features turned vicious and contorted, and his eyes darkened and became icy.I could now confidently state that he was not in his right mind."You have no clue how frightening Alvin was during his susceptible time. It was too much for even an omega. He might have killed you during sex if it had been you."He scowled. "Do you believe he was harsh to you? No, because
I couldn't be stopped.My hands continued to turn the page of the journal without hesitating."Don't interfere with his life.Don't meddle with his decisions.Don't do anything that you shouldn't.The most critical thing is Jillian's happiness.Don't act rashly.Put aside all of your crazy ideas.Never, ever, ever hurt him.If anyone is going to be trapped, it'll be me.He should be freed.'Time stood still four years ago. Kevin penned the final sentence before departing abroad.‘Goodbye.’There were numerous photographs in the diary. He had never missed a period in my life, from childhood to adulthood.I should have been terrified, but instead, I was relieved.It gave me the confidence to pick up the phone and call Kevin.The call was immediately connected, and there were a few rummaging sounds on the other end before Kevin's exhausted voice came through. "Jill?""Sir..." I didn't want to look anxious, so I didn't turn on the video. "Are you finished? When will you be back?""I..."H
Before inserting the disc into the projector, I waited for a moment. It would have been way too embarrassing if it had contained Kevin's adult collection.Thankfully, it wasn't.After a few seconds, the screen turned black, and a little stage appeared. I paid attention to what the presenter stated."Now, please welcome Jillian from class F. He will perform 'The Snow Prince' as a solo. Please have fun!"Class F?Oh, yes, this was my high school graduation recital.The curtain parted to expose my 16-year-old face, considerably younger than it was now, with a sombre expression and an indescribably funny tinge of baby fat.My eyes sparkled. I wasn't always as ugly as I am now... Maybe Kevin fell in love with the old and lovely me?The footage, which the school kept for archive purposes, was in high definition. I recognized a familiar face as the camera went across the audience.I returned to pause the footage. It was Kevin.In his twenties, he looked much different, with bright eyes and
