Vegas' POV

"You're back?" I hesitated before reluctantly approaching my father, choosing to sit at a distance.

"Hmph, you used to say you hated omegas. Now you've gone and taken a bodyguard from the main family as your wife. You bypassed good, well-bred options that could help with business. You're as stupid as your mother."

"What do you want, pa?" I clenched my fists so tightly my nails dug into my skin, my good mood completely gone.

I had to try to control my anger.

"I'm going to find you another wife."

I gritted my teeth, trying to suppress the growing rage.

"And you think that's smart? Acting like the second option is a joke. Should I just agree to the first option right now?"

"Shut up! I didn't mean now. I'll find someone who can support you, with a strong business background. Nothing stops you from having another wife. As for the child, just have the wife I choose take the child in."

Everything was exactly like Pete had said.

And what kind of person would agree to be a second wife? Someone like Pim, my pa's mistress? Just the thought made me want to vomit.

"The main family must think using these dirty tricks will bring us down. Hmph, they probably sent an omega in heat for you to screw. That bodyguard must be well-trained in these matters."

"If you have nothing else, I'll take my leave. I have business at the main family's house tomorrow." I didn't listen to anything else. The insults toward Pete made me walk away, ignoring the calls and curses following me.

Pa is just struggling, but I know he can only plan for now. He can't order me to act out of line.

I walked away but didn't return to my room. I went to see Macau, whom I hadn't had a chance to talk to since we were in the car.

"Hey, bro. I've been waiting for you." Macau put away his headphones, which he must have been wearing since we left the main family's house.

I sat down, trying to push away the anger from my father's words.

"That face. Pa said something, didn't he? Hmph, he complained the whole way. I thought he'd have stopped by now." Macau moved to sit next to me, pouting and showing his feelings clearly.

"So, is this the one? Your happiness, the one you said you love?" Macau asked, smiling so wide that I couldn't help but smile back, forgetting my talk with pa entirely.

"The only one."

"I knew it!!! I saw you two holding hands in the house that day. Didn't even need to see the documents," I burst out laughing.

"So, what's the story? Can you tell me?" I shook my head and sighed, even as I smiled. I never thought I'd have a day where I'd be telling the story of me and Pete.

"He snuck into my room to steal information. Ruined all my plans."

"So you punished him by making him your wife? That doesn't sound like you at all."
