"Good morning everyone!" I greeted
everyone
"Morning" I heard some dispassionate
greetings back.
"Hey, good morning!" I heard a voice right behind me. It was a more lively
greeting than the others. I turned to see a woman in her late twenties with pretty oval face, dazzling smile, a little overweight and brown hair
which were tied in bun. She was Tanya.
"Tanya I smiled. She was my first friend after joined the hotel and after
3 years of job we have become quite close. She is one bright ray of
sunshine
"Have you decided to starve yourself?" she asked looking at my unhealthy colour, "I am sure you missed your breakfast to make it in time. Here have this" she said handing me a plate of Butter bread toast, egg
sunny side up and some sausages..
"You really are busybody"I couldn't help smiling. She was a caring lady. I wish I could get a nanny as caring as her, then I wouldn't have to worry about Twen,
I worked in The Grandé' restaurant of the hotel which was multi cuisine
restaurant and was extremely busy during breakfast and dinner time
when the guest normally come back or leave.
I quickly put on the apron and shoe and covered my long hair in plastic head cover. I, being the incharge of the Grandé restaurant has to start
with the briefing. I could already tell, it would be a busy day.
It was almost after midnight when my shift ended. Seriously, what
people do toiling around so late in the restaurant! As I was packing my
stuff, my executive chef approached me. He was an overweight man with
round face, little goatee, black kind eyes and neatly cut hair. "Good evening, Chef Samuel® I greeted
with a smile
He rubbed his nose with an awkward smile. "Good evening Tony. How's
everything going"
"Brilliant I flashed another broad
smile "Good good" he smiled. "Ahhh Tony I have
a news"
"What's it Chet?"
"You know about the recent launch of Exquisite Hotel Chain's new Resort, Elegance?" he asked speaking in a slightly awkward tone
"Yes" I said
cautiously
"The General Manager wants to transfer some of the experienced Chef there and well, I recommended you" he said it fast as if to make it sound
less unpleasant
"What? Chef? I only have three years experience"
said surprised
"Yes but you have experience in other restaurants and also you are very
dedicated and hardworking. How many chefs make it to Sous Chef in just
3 years? You have what it takes to be in a start up
"Chef, That's not the problem. The distance is the factor. You know that resort is pretty much out of city for the tourist to enjoy a good time at
beach. I have a son" I said sounding a little frantic.
"I know I know. They have said that they will arrange your accomodation.
As for his school, I can drop and pick him" Chef Samuel spoke in a
convincing tone Thit my forehead with my palm, Just when I was starting to settle down
"Do I have a choice?" I asked already sensing
the answer
"Ugh Uhm NO" Chef Samuel said apologetically.
What a trouble! I shouldn't have been all excited in the morning. I jinxed my own peace. I looked at Chef Samuel and gave a slightly bitter smille,
"When is the transfer?"
"Its next month. Pack all things you need, if you want. Twen can stay with
me" Chef said looking genuinely concerned Well, it's fine. Just a change of location what's the big deal. Since. 11 sta
changed cities, location shouldn't be a big deal "No, Twen will stay with me, but regarding his dropping and picking, I leave it to you. I don't understand this rich people, why open a resort.
there are already 32 hotels all around the city"
"Oh this was not the Chairman's decision. I heard his son, who is the current CEO, suggested the Elegance Resort project seeing the prospect of profit from the main attraction of our city, the Boaches. I heard a rumor
that, the Chairman wanted to test his son's capability, so he handed him the entire project and given him the deadline of 2 years to make it a successful one" o one I once heard mum say this to me, rich people are more greedy than commoners. So true. They are already swimming in money but they still want more. Anyway, I'll be taking my leave now" "Yes, take care! Tony. And give my greetings to Twen" Samuel smiled and waved me goodbye.
He is a nice man. He was the one who took care of me after I changed cities, So, I can't even say no to him.
Transfer! Haaah...No problem. I can handle it" I thought to myself confidently after sitting behind the wheels.
After that terrible encounter with Robbie, I was so lost that I didn't even know what to do, where to go. I was studying with the Omega welfare centre's help. It was established as several male and female Omegas were abandoned like me. I got abandoned when I was 12, right after the sub gender examination. The result showed, I was Omega and dad and mum simply left me in the Welfare Centre. It took me a whole year to believe I was abandoned. The Centre helped me out with education, shelter, food and most importantly, heat suppressant medicines. Thanks to them, I made it till the high school. I just had a month before the exam when all this disaster befall. I gave my high school exam with a four months pregnancy. I passed with flying colours. The centre helped me with my pregnancy too and I gave birth to Twen. OA lot of Omegas gets raped and abused as those so called Great Alphas have no control over their urges. So, my pregnancy was no surprise.. They were in fac
I had shifted to my new residence, it was a little surprise because it turned that it was near to Twen's school. I can easily drop him there and leave for my work. The shifting was quite hectic and haven't yet gotten. to open all the things. I have take things slow, it is tiring. Tanya said she will come to help me on her day off. Bless her, I was almost losing my mind as to what to do.Tomorrow I'll be going to my new work place Resort Elegance. What a name! Hope it is as elegant as it's name. The Chairman, Mr. Walker, unbelievably handed over a project of billion in hands of an amateur. From what I know he is just 25 years old, same as me. But then again, just like Mr. Walker, he too is an Alpha.. The Alphas are said to be born brilliant and are natural leaders so maybe he can succeed. I shouldn't underestimate anyone. But then again, I have not got anything to do with it as long as I get my salary at the end of the month.The accommodatio
I couldn't believe what bad luck I have. I raised my face to see the veryface, I never ever wanted to see. It was Robbie. He too seem to have recognised me as his grey eyes widen and he staredat me like he was looking at a ghost. My mind went blank. I couldn't process anything. Why? Why is this guy of all the guy in the world has to appear in front of me? This is a f**king nightmare. ⒸMy mouth stopped working. I kept staring at him like staring would change this reality. He turned and walked towards me."Are you..." he was about to say something but I didn't wanna hear. I don't want him to recognise me but it was just my damn luck that t that very moment, Tanya came running in front of me and said hurriedly Ⓒ"Sir Walker. Please forgive Chef Tony. It is his first day. Trust me he is very dedicated" eRobbie moved his eyes to her. His eyes was full ofastonishment."Did you just say, Chef Tony?"Tanya looked confused a
"I am resigning" I said to ChefSamuelI was sitting on the couch in Chef Samuel's drawing room. Twen was in the other room playing a video game. Chef Samuel's wife was not home yet after work. I didn't want to return to my place. I was still in shock and have too many things to ponder about. I wanted to talk to Chef Samuel so after picking up Twen, I went straight to Samuel's house.He looked at me with eyes so wide open that it could have been at size of a coaster"What did you say?RESIGN??""Yes" I could just saythat"Wha- What happened? Why so suddenly?" he asked looking at me with concern.I didn't know how to answer.. Though, Chef knew about my past, I never said who the father of Twen was. Even if I did, nobody would have thought that such a twist of fate could take place. I simply remain
Twen's voice made Robbie stunned. I felt like someone has kicked me in the gut. Why was everything going so wrong? Was Robbie reappearing in my life not enough? Am I cursed by Devil or something?I pushed Robbie out and slammed the door shut. I turned to look at the surprised face of Twen."Twen, why are you out ofbed?" I asked"I thought I heard the door bell" he answered innocently"Th-that's just" I couldn't even complete my sentencewhen there was a knock on the door.Oh for God sake, get the damn message and leave. Whyis he hell bent on making my life miserable? "That's just Mommy's guest ok? You should go back tobed" I said forcing a smile at himTwen looked at me doubtfully. There was another knock on the door.Goddamnit! I wanna murder this guy!

Robbie'sPOVBeing born as the son of Chairman of the Exquisite Hotel and Resorts Pvt Ltd, with natural good looks and being tested as Alpha at 12, sky was the limit for me. I was what people referred to as Elite. I thought there was nothing that I couldn't get and I wasn't mistaken. Girls and guys would flock up to me. I was naturally good with studies and basketball. I had never known desperation or need. I always thought, I deserved the best.It was until I was sixteen. Due to recession, the flow of tourists were affected. There was political turmoil going on, on top of that. This all led to decline in flow of tourists. Our business depends on several types of tourist, with the fall in their number, our company fell into hard times. I had to leave my esteemed high profile school and join a downgraded one. It couldn't have been worse. Transferring to this school, I wanted to have nothing to do with all this low class p
Robbie's POVI looked at the letter that Tony placed on the table. He was standing quietly, looking at me with those firm beautiful eyes Though, he looked non chalant I could see that he was nervous. Tory easily gets scared so many used to call him coward or gutless but I knew that it was not true.The true coward was me I was scared of taking responsibility of a kid. I kept thinking that will ruin my future and about the bad reputation. I faamd my father's reaction. He despised Omegas and found them to be cheap gold diggers. I was scared that he will be furious with me and disown me. I was so scared that I didn't think twicewhat my rejection would do to Tony. I was being pure selfish. After the kind of treatment t gave him, many Omegas would have fallen into depression, commit suicide, abortthe child or beg to be accepted or at least support them financially but he did none of the above. He actual
(A short summary on the lives of all)( 5 months after the events of chap 98)Tony and Robbie happily married with the blessing of Ashley and his well-wishers. Tony sent the wedding invitation to his parents too against Robbie's wishes. Tony simply said,"They are the reason, I am in this world, they are the reason I met you, so no matter how much they despise me, I still want them to be part of my happiness"Robbie acknowledged that he could never win Tony with words! Tony was even prepared to forgive Mr. Walker's horrid deed, as he didn't want Robbie to be deprived of his father, however, Robbie straight off refused it."He had never been much of a father to me. He treated Roger more dearly than me" Robbie said with a slight tinge of despair.Tony never raised the topic again. He didn't want to see Robbie hurting. Twen and Robbie finally got time to bond. Twen, though very reserved in the beginning, slowly started opening up to Robbie's constant trying. Robbie made a fixed time for
Fred's POVNot even a month back in La Costa and I received a marriage invitation from Tony! Do you call it fate? I looked at the invitation feeling an odd sensation running through me. I can't pinpoint what feeling it was but I can describe it through an example. It was like seeing off your parents at the train station when you leave the house for the first time. As the train slowly picks up speed, you see your parents slowly disappearing from your view and an odd sensation settles in your heart. It was the very same sensation that was passing through me.I was due to return in a few days but now somehow, I just didn't feel like returning. I put the invitation beside me and looked at my half-filled restaurant, towards the customers who were enjoying their snacks, laughing cheerfully with their friends and family. I don't know why, the scenario, though beautiful, made me unhappy, so, I settled at staring outside the restaurant towards the sandy beach.A lot of thoughts were running th
Robbie's POVTanya had been inside Tony's room for quite sometime. I wonder what's going on. Hopefully, she can talk him out of his miserable state of mind. I had been quite useless in that regard. Twen was sitting on mum's lap reading a book. He had been getting very impatient waiting to see Tony,"Granny Ash, why can't I see mommy?" Twen asked in an upset voiceMum patted his head, "Honey, your mum is a little busy. His friend had come to visit him"Twen blinked innocently, "Friend? Is it Uncle Fred?"Mum laughed breezily, "No it's Tanya. Do you wanna meet her too?" mum asked to see Twen's upset expression replaced with a bright look.Mum just mentioned it and I heard a click on the door. Tanya came out along with Tony who looked extremely nervous. Before I could react, Twen bounced down my mum's lap and cried excitedly,"Mommy!!"Tony's anxious expression cleared on seeing Twen. Twen went running to him followed by my mum and wrapped his little arms round his waist. I saw Tony smil
Robbie's POVNext DayAs Mr. Olsen said, there was nothing found in the ruins of the house of Emaulsen, neither in Tony's blood-stream nor Twen. Though chloroform (it was banned in our country, and so, was illegal) was applied on Twen, its quantity was just enough for anesthetic purposes and because of its property of not staying in body for long, no trace was found. It was the same with Tony. The only medicine detected was NSAIDs drugs or in other words, just simple ibuprofen usually used for ridding of hangovers and was legal. The trace of the very same drug was also found in the glass that was collected from ruins. There was nothing whatsoever to prove Mr. Olsen's guilt or association with illegal drugs. It was so frustrating that I ended up wall punching and injuring my already injured hands (because of rashly breaking a wine glass) and ended up being scolded by mum.Fred who too came to meet Tony along with Sam, who was in the same hospital as Jenny, were all as frustrated as I w
Robbie's POVI don't know why the idea of being unclean had lodged in Tony's head. Why would he think that just because of what happened I would look down on him or not see him as fitting to be my partner? I am not one of those outdated person who thinks only virgin guy and girls are pure and clean. But most unfortunately, our society had always promoted such inferior ideas. And many of the men have even gobbled down that idea without once thinking how demeaning and downgraded the thought was. But maybe Tony's case was different. It might be the shock of what happened rather than the society's regressive ideologies. But I won't let him wallow in self hatred and disgust.1I calmed him a bit, though, he was still looking disturbed. I made him close his eyes and lean on the seat for rest. Closing the SUV's door of backseat, I took long strides to where Fred was. He looked extremely mad about something. I have to stop him before he ends up doing something and landing himself in jail. I h
Warning: Mention of physical, emotional and mental abuse; Strong LanguageRobbie's POV"What the hell are you doing here?" Fred grumbled the moment I slammed the door to his SUV, "And why did y-""Start driving. We don't have time to chit chat!" I said, hmphing irritably"You're one to talk! You wasted fifteen damn minutes dragging me and the cops here," Fred complained, giving a furtive look at the cops."There is a reason for that! So, where is that jacka*s?" I asked in a low growl, also eyeing the two cop cars behind in the rear-view mirror."Here," Fred said, placing his cell phone under my nose and stamping on the accelerator at the same time.I looked at the location. My eyes widened. No wonder Mr. Olsen is confident that no one will be able to locate him. I grumbled agitatedly,"The ruined mansion of Emaulsen!""What? What's that?" Fred asked while quickly taking his cell phone back to navigate the route and gesturing to the cops to follow his car."That's Olsen's paternal hous
Robbie's POVI stood there bewildered at dad's reply. How could he just lie like that? If he doesn't know anything, then why did the kidnapper make a stop in front of our villa? To admire it? Mum felt suspicious too. She asked in a firm tone,"Ric, a child's life is in danger, and he also happens to be your grandson-""I have no grandson," Dad interrupted mum, eyeing her with cold fury."I don't care whether you see him as your grandson or not, but he is my son! I won't let you harm him," I said, gritting my teeth and stepping forward, looking at dad with rage.Dad raised an eyebrow, speaking each word with the chilliness of the north pole, "You think I would do such lowly things like harming a boy!""If you did not make my son disappear, then why the hell did the kidnapper stop here?" I asked in an equally cold voice."What nonsense!!" Dad burst out, slamming the desk and glaring at me."It's not nonsense, dad. The kidnapper's car was caught on traffic surveillance and shown to make
Warning: Mention of drugs, hints of sexual abuse, Kidnapping, & strong languageI felt like someone kicked me in the guts. I looked at him wide-eyed in disbelief. This guy, a member of the congress, a well-known television face, a politician, and a friend of Robbie's dad, he ordered my son's abduction?? Why?? Just because I fell on him!?"I can see a lot of questions on your face," he chuckled again, "I am sure rather than answers to those questions, this is what you want to see," he said, pulling out his cell phone, tapping something on it quickly, and turning the screen towards me.From this distance, I could see nothing. I left the headboard and dragged my feet to the end of the bed. As I reached close, I saw Twen on the screen."TWEN!!" I screamed and staggered towards the armchair, falling face forward on the floor.I heard a creak as Mr. Olsen got up from the chair and walked towards me. I looked up, sitting on my knees. He held out the cell phone to my face, where I saw Twen sl
It was only an hour-long flight, but it felt like an eternity. Once I landed in Warham, I quickly proceeded to take a cab. Since my return was sudden, my car was not prepared ahead of time. I wanted to go meet Tony first. But at the moment, my mind was so absorbed in my suspicions over dad that I first wanted to run and confirm whether it was him. If it were him, then I would get Twen back. I just couldn't bring myself to believe that dad could have fallen so low. Today's altercation between us might as well be the end of our relationship as well as my mum's too. I feel unbearably guilty of pulling mum into this as well, but there is no other choice. Mum tried her best to maintain the happy family image before me so that I don't feel sad or isolated. Yet, today many people have suffered because of my choices. Tony, Twen, Mom...how am I ever going to forgive myself for bringing such a disaster on them all? I clenched my fist in anger.My guilty reflection got interrupted by a call. It
