Perfect Fit

Chapter 6

I drove home mad and confused all at the same time. Is all this normal? He just said it like it was nothing.

He stumbled into my room, and then what? Saw and opportunity and pounced on it? Ridiculous.

I really wanted the contract at Y Hotel, and because of that, I really worked extra hard to get it. Now I want nothing to do with that family. Including Yibo.

I sent an email to retract my contract. The ink isn't even dry yet, and I am done with them.

I have a ton of other work lined up, I know this might cost me lots of money, but I am willing to pay to never have to cross paths with them ever again.

"Hi son, it's been a while since I heard from you. What's do I owe this wonderful surprise to?"

"Hi mom, remember after dad passed. I said I would work until my brand was stable and I would take a break and come home for a year or 2?"

"Of course I do, and I have been waiting for the call from you to tell me that you are coming home. You get so busy that we hardly ever see you. And you know how I hate traveling long distance because my feet swell and cause me pains."

"I think it's time for me to take a break from this fast life and come stay with you for a while. I am certain Zhoucheng will enjoy the freedom of having me at home so he can go out more."

"I think he will not only enjoy that but your black card as well."

We both shared a laugh just picturing my brother living his best life. He really has done a great job looking after mom, and because of that, I was able to chase my dreams and make them a reality.

"So when are you coming?"

"Tomorrow."

"Great, don't change your mind then. See you tomorrow, son."

"Bye, mom."

Call it running. Call it resetting. Whatever. I do think that going home will help me think better and get my head into what I want to do. I am a goal oriented person, so all I need is a new start.

I packed everything I needed and sent  Yuchen everything he needed to run things here in Shanghai. And I finally booked my ticket.

........

This past week was hell for me. I have never felt more helpless when it comes to dealing with my rut. It was so bad that I even considered getting omega services.

I really thought if I didn't die, I was gonna lose my mind. Everything I touched felt like it was going to burn my skin off. Even sleep didn't bring much relief.

What changed this time? Even after it was done, my body still felt painful.

I clearly need to take my health seriously and seek medical help. I can't keep this up for any longer, I feel like my body will just give up one day. The omega solution is one that I won't explore at all.

My parents showed me the brutal truth of what it looks like to be controlled by pheromones. My mother being a beta was never enough for my dad, and because of that, my brothers and I are all born from 3 different omegas. He never wanted to take inhibitors because he claimed that they were unnatural. I guess being a man whore and being a serial cheater was a more natural way to deal with his rut.

My mother was just expected to understand the laws of nature. I feel sorry for the omegas that were just used to birth us and hand us over to our mom. For a woman who had to deal with my father's crap, she did well raising us with so much love. The only reason anyone could tell that we are not hers is that we don't look like her or our dad. We all look like our omega mothers. It's sad really that fate never gave my mother a break, living with 3 faces that constantly reminded her of my father's infidelity.
