Emmiel
Marriage?. What was Lopen talking about?. Rather than that hold on just a second, did he call the man infront of him "father"?. Does that mean these people were his family?.
Before I could process what was happening next, Lopen's father had walked over to us pulling me out of Lopen's lap as he smacked Lopen hard across the cheeks.
"You've always been nothing but a disgrace to the king family" His father snarled. "Whatever. Do as you please but make sure this infidelity of yours never leaks out to the public"
Brushing past me, Lopen's father stroms out of the house along with the people that came with him.
I was scared to move or say anything at all due to the tension in the air as Lopen touched his swollen cheeks.
Springing up from his chair, Lopen bursts into laughter hysterically but I could tell he was not okay. "Father handled that well"
"You must be starving, Emmiel" He continues, striding out of the dining. "Eat the food on the table and make sure it doesn't go to waste. I have no appetite"
Was that all he had to say to me?. I at least deserved an explanation, right?. But I was afraid to ask for one.
"I'm going to my office and do not want to be disturbed" Lopen says and then he was gone.
Sinking down to the chair, my eyes gazed across the brown envelope on the dining table.
Curiosity got the best of me as I grabbed it revealing it's content as I read through for a better understanding.
"So, she's Jacqueline Hayes" I state. "The only female omega daughter of Richard Hayes. I guess Lopen's father wants Lopen to marry her"
"I can see why though. She has more qualifications for me and is a perfect fit for someone like Lopen. I, on the other hand had nothing appealing about myself"
Nibbling on my finger, I muttered. "Had Lopen brought up us getting married to spite his father or had he really meant it?"
If he meant it, this spelt trouble. Why the bond between Lopen and I could be broken if Lopen dies. If we get married, it would be a different story entirely.
Because even after Lopen's death, our bond would never be broken and I couldn't be claimed either by another. It would be like being labelled a permanent widow.
"Whatever the case my be, our wedding must never happen" I conclude. "What must I do?"
My thoughts were interrupted by the doorbell ring. "Delivery!"
I wait for a while for Marie to get the door but she didn't come out. "Maybe she's sleeping. I'll go get it"
Turning on the door knob, I received the package.
"Here, give it to m-" I froze at the delivery man staring back at me. It was no other than Jan, my closest friend back at the omega facility. "Jan?"
"Shit, Emmiel. Is that you?" Jan and I engulfed ourselves in a warm embrace. "I'm so glad you made it out"
"I'm glad you made it out as well. You work now?"
"I do a part-time gig"
My eyes widened with surprise to hear that. "Your alpha allows you to work?"
"Doesn't yours?"
I shake my head. "Alpha Lopen is quite cautious"
I hoped Jan would buy my lie. I couldn't possibly tell him of the awful ways alpha Lopen treats me when we'd just met for the first time outside the facility.
"Figures. Alpha Lopen does have alot of enemies out there" Jan agrees. "But you should try to get alpha Lopen wrapped around your finger as well"
I furrowed my brow, confused. "What do you mean?"
"You need to do whatever you can to make sure you remain in the Lopen's mansion" Jan clarifies. "If by chance, you are returned back to the omega facility by alpha Lopen, you're as good as being labelled a 'damaged good'. No other Alpha would want to claim you"
I didn't think of it this way. Hearing Jan say it made me scared of being returned back to the facility.
Did I have no other choice but to stay with alpha Lopen?. "Is that so?. What do you suggest I do then to stay in the Lopen's mansion?"
Jan glances around, checking if there was anyone around earshot before spilling it out. "Seduce him"
I choked on my spit. "What?"
"That's the only way I can think of"
"Alpha Lopen wouldn't budge"
"Have you tried it before?"
No and I'm not even supposed to try it because the mere thought of imagining the angry face of alpha Lopen when he realizes that I'm seducing him sent shiver down my spine.
"I may have come onto him strongly once but it was only because I was in heat" I defend. "I can't seduce him in my right state of mind"
"You don't have to seduce him with actions or words"
"Then how?"
Jan groans, pulling out a small box. "I had actually bought this for myself to use but since you're more desperate than I am, I'll let you have it"
"What is this?"
Jan smirked. "Open it if you're curious"
Opening the box, I gasped in shock shutting it close immediately.
What in the world is this?. Did Jan expect me to wear something so provocative?. "I-I can't wear this"
"You can and you will"
"Why do you have something like this on you in the first place, Jan"
He shrugs. "I wanted to try something different with my alpha"
"Then take it back"
"Nah-uh. No back-takes. It's yours to keep and use. I'll give you a start up on how to use it" Jan says. "You can wear it underneath your garment and walk up to alpha Lopen with a 'can you please help me unhook this' plot"
I couldn't believe I was having this conversation with Jan. "What if he doesn't like it?"
"If he doesn't like it, you're free to hit me when next meet me" Jan smirks. "But if he does, feel free to leave a 5-star review on it for me"
"All you have to do is be confident in your sexiness, Emmiel" Jan concludes. "Because as far as my research goes, no alpha can resist their omega in a sexy female lingerine"
