Chapter 103 - 100
MARK'S POINT OF VIEW:
The sight of Sir Lee hugging Justin so tightly, as if he's protecting him with everything he has, made me feel so amazed.
The indifferent and terrifying CEO of the Lee Group is acting like an affectionate and protective alpha in front of all the employees.
However, despite this feeling arising within me, I still felt scared for Justin.
No matter what kind of act Sir Lee is showing right now, it won't matter once he gets taken over by his alpha instincts.
I'm a beta, so there's no way I'd know how difficult it is to control an alpha's instincts, but just from reading articles and watching the news about alphas and even betas raping omegas, I could already tell how this situation might turn out if it's not handled well.
What he's showing right now may only be a facade and nothing more to let our guard down.
Plus, he's interested in Hannah, right? There's a very high possibility that he's just acting like this because Justin is in heat.
After a while, Hannah came with a tranquilizer on her hand.
I always have a tranquilizer inside my bag and drawer in case something like this happens.
Seeing how an alpha could easily overpower a beta like me, bringing one will come in hand when things like this happen.
"Here you go, sir," she said as she handed me the glass container where the tranquilizer was. "Thank you," I said as I took it from her hand.
I slowly stepped closer and closer towards them, and before I could even go nearer, Sir Lee glared at me sharply as if he's ready to beat me to death if I got any closer.
I slowly took the tranquilizer from the container as I breathed steadily, trying not to show that I was scared of him.
He was panting heavily as he glared at me while holding Justin in his arms.
The sight of him holding the person I like didn't sit well with me.
It made me upset.
"Take another step and you might not be able to see the sun rise again," he threatened with a warning tone in his voice.
In his current state, I knew that he meant every word he just said. However, I can't just let myself get eaten by fear and allow him to do whatever he wants with the helpless omega, knowing that I can do something to prevent the worst from happening. What's more is that I didn't want him acting like that because I like Justin.
"It's alright, sir. I won't do anything bad," I said as I slowly slid my foot on the floor, trying to move closer to them.
Before he could even speak again, I sprinted towards them and injected him with the tranquilizer.
"Fucking b... bastard..." he whispered as he held the part on his back where the tranquilizer was.
Realizing that it has not taken effect yet, my body started trembling as I took a step backward.
I looked at Justin and Sir Lee back and forth, and that was when it hit me that he wouldn't be able to stand up because he didn't want to let go of Justin.
Why is he being so protective of an omega that he barely even knows?
After a few more seconds of watching him get weaker and weaker, his arms around Justin's body slowly got looser.
His eyes started getting droopy and his breathing became more stable than earlier. Before falling unconscious, the words that left his mouth made me realize something.
"Please... take care of him... He's... very important to... me..." he whispered as be blinked his eyes slowly and finally fell unconsious.
The only thought that remained in my mind after hearing that was...
'What if it wasn't Hannah, but Justin?'
TRISTAN'S POINT OF VIEW:
I opened my eyes slowly as they adjusted to the light, and the first thing I looked for was Justin.
"Justin... Where's Justin?" I said as I turned my head around, looking for him.
"A woman named Hannah brought him home after you got injected with a tranquilizer."
I was too busy looking for Justin that I didn't realize that somebody else was with me.
It was my brother, sitting on a chair on the corner of the room with crossed legs. He was holding his phone as he as he looked at me with a blank face.
"What are you doing here?" I asked as I scrunched my brows. "Nobody else was free to check on you, so I came here instead. Plus, I wanted to talk to you about something, too," he said as he put his phone inside his pocket and stood up.
"You don't have to worry about him. He's already in a better state and his suppressants have already started working on him again. I also had my driver drive them to make sure they'd get there safely," he said as he walked closer and closer to me.
I let out a breath of relief as I covered my face with my palms when I heard what he said.
"Did I do something bad to him? I don't have any memory of what happened earlier," I said as I lowered my hands.
"As far as I can remember, you did nothing of the sort. There were many witnesses there and they all said that you caused a ruckus, but you didn't do anything bad to him," he said as he sat on the chair next to my bed.
"Thank goodness..." I mumbled, feeling thankful that I didn't do anything that might have hurt him in any way.
"So, what did you want to to about, Terrence?" I asked as I looked at him.
A smile formed on his lips as he looked at me.
"Dad found out about Justin. What you did earlier has shaken the entire company and obviously, the news about it has reached him," he explained, still smiling at me.
As I listened to what he said, I felt the the color of my face draining as my body turned cold.
Anxiousness.
My body was filled with anxiousness.
"However," he said as he shot his eyes up at me. "... he didn't seem to be mad about it. When I saw his expression earlier, it seemed like he was quite... Hmm... How do you say this? Interested, I guess?" Terrence continued.
"Why the hell would he be interested?" I said a manner that slightly showed my anger.
"Who knows what's going on inside his head? Nobody does," he shrugged. "Well, that was one of the things I wanted to talk to you about, but there's another one," he continued speaking as he crossed his arms and lifted his chin a little.
"I don't know if you're aware of this, but apparently, Theodore has been whining about wanting to hang out with you," he said as he chuckled, the dimples on his cheeks showing up in the process.
"Theodore? Why? We just met the other day, didn't we?" I said as I scrunched my brows, curious as to why he's acting up again.
"Come on, just do it. Do Troy a favor and spend some time with his son. It's not like spending a bit of time with him would kill you, you know?" Terrence rolled his eyes at me.
Theodore is Troy and Xander's son. He's currently four years old and is turning five in a few months.
After Justin and I broke up, Troy was one of the people who took care of me the most. It was later on when I found out that he was pregnant with Xander's baby, which I found quite shocking at the time. It even makes me wonder how they ended up like that.
I didn't even know that they had something between them back when they were still in high school until then. It seemed like they just reunited recently at the time, and Troy suddenly got pregnant because they had sexual intercourse once.
I mean, it's not very unlikely for that to happen because back then, Troy started getting his heat cycle again because of him. Of course, his fertility rate was higher than normal since maybe they did it while he was in heat.
Long story short, my brother got pregnant with that guy's baby and that baby is Theodore. After getting impregnated, Troy eventually held a press conference and told the mass that he was an omega, shaking up the entertainment industry and even the entire country. That was expected since Troy was the most popular rookie at the time.
After that, my father gave them his approval for their marriage. Truthfully, I did not expect that to happen, knowing that he didn't even approve of my relationship with Justin. However, after knowing that Xander was a dominant alpha, it became clear to me why my father allowed them to get married and why he wanted me to break up with Justin.
It had nothing to do with me being a painter before, nor did it have anything to do with inheriting the company.
It was because Justin did not live up to his standards.
He's a recessive omega, while Xander is a dominant alpha.
Since Xander and Troy are both dominant, that would only mean that their child would also inherit their genes and also be dominant just like them, whether Theodore is an alpha or omega. That would mean that there won't be any chance of him becoming a beta.
Meanwhile, if I married Justin and had kids with him, the possibility of our child being a beta would be high since his family is comprised of betas except for himself.
According to my father, having a beta in the family would leave a stain on the Lee surname, and he didn't want that.
Until now, whenever I think back about how petty his reason was for making things diffucult for us still makes my blood boil.
"Alright. I'll do it. I'll ask my secretary to adjust my schedule so I could make some time for him," I said and sighed.
Even though the subject of our conversation was different now, thoughts of Justin still occupied my mind.
Right now, I'm still wondering how he's doing. I'm still wondering if he has already eaten, if he's currently asleep, if he's already all better, and if he's also thinking about me.
I hope you're well, my darling.
