Chapter 102.1

‘What am I doing? I’m…….’ Hae-won asked herself, staring blankly at the stream of water pouring into the sink.

The fiance she believed to be an Omega was actually an Alpha. She found out about the huge fact, and it was strange for her to act as usual, let alone question.

Why did you come back? What the hell do you want me from me?

It was like walking into the cave where the beast lived and asking for food. But she couldn’t think of any other way. To be exact, she did not have the courage to confront the truth. If she doesn’t expose this, Adam will continue to live as an omega. He’ll be kind to her like he does now.

It’s a cowardly act that suits a cowardly man.

‘Until when?’ Hae-won raised her head. And she continued to think, looking at her pale tired face in the mirror. ‘How long did Adam intend to live as an Omega?’

If he really is Alpha, if he is the one who visited Korea years ago and secretly purchased a building in Seoul, and if he accepted a political marriage pretending to be an omega…….

There would be an end to her false life.

The end, in other words, would be the end.

“When did your mother die?”

“When I was very young.”

Not long ago, the conversation she had with Adam one day and the JS family brothers who ignored him came to mind one after another. Without digging deep, it was obvious how the JS Group would treat him as an illegitimate child. Chairman Seo also tried to take advantage of Adam’s situation.

“It’s not complicated. It’s just that you have to figure out who your real family is.”

“I have never considered the people of JS as family. I wasn’t treated like a human being in that house.”

In fact, this answer was Adam’s real intention.

“Revenge…” Hae-won, who was muttering, bit her lower lip tightly. Even the pain spreading faintly felt numb in front of this huge shock.

“No way.”

An illegitimate child who came into the house hiding his trait for revenge. It was an incredible story. It was questionable whether that was possible in the first place. However, Hae-won, who saw her face in the mirror, soon thought that it would not be complete nonsense.

‘I’ve been hiding my traits.’

However, what is spreading in Hae-won’s heart now was a sense of distance, not a sense of homogeneity. More and more she didn’t know Adam.

Living as an omega for revenge. It was an act that Hae-won couldn’t understand.

“Hae-won.” At the voice calling me from outside, Hae-won turned her head toward the door. And she quickly wiped her red eyes.

“May I come in?”

“…….”

“You’re not sick? I’m worried.” Adam asked first in consideration of Hae-won, which is different from usual. Normally, he would have opened the door first.

“I-I’ll be out in a minute.”

“Yes.” Hae-won began to wash up in a hurry only after hearing Adam’s steps away.

“Are you done washing up?” Adam asked with a smile. He was still sitting on the couch in the living room, still awake. No, he didn’t seem to want to sleep.

Hae-won hesitated and sat next to him. There was such an awkward silence.

“Hae-won, you’re weird today.” It was Adam who spoke first.

Hae-won looked at Adam instead of answering. Adam also continued, leaning his head toward Hae-won.

“You’re different than usual.”

“W-what do you mean different? About what?”

Hae-won stammered back. Unlike Adam, she couldn’t afford it, so she was expressing tension with her whole body.

“You look at me like a stranger.”

Hae-won clenched her hands tightly on her lap.

Did I get caught?

The fact that he found out who I was?

In the end, Hae-won had to be honest.

“……Yes, it’s strange.” The answering voice trembled terribly. Adam’s eyes drooped when he saw Hae-won.

“Did I do something wrong?” When the child-like expression was added to it, Hae-won felt like she had made a big mistake.

Hae-won turned her head to the other side before she became weaker.

“No, someone sent me a picture.”

“Picture?”

“It’s a picture of two men standing in front of an old building,” Hae-won glanced at Adam.

Adam still looked innocent and ignorant. So, Hae-won had false hopes. In fact, isn’t everything an illusion that comes from her own grand delusion? But as she continued, hope faded like a match. Only the terrible reality that she didn’t want to admit was waiting for her.
