Chapter 102.2

“i’ve met an alpha in that building before.”

“alpha?” adam’s eyes narrowed.

“when i zoomed in on the picture, one of them was li yuyen. i can’t recognize anyone else because it was his back, but…….” hae-won blurted out the end of his words with creeping fear. she clasped her hands in prayer.

even though she knows that there is no god to save her.

“i don’t know why you two were there…….”

“didn’t you say the other one had his back pictured?”

adam, who was listening to hae-won silently, asked implicitly. it was a tone of how she was sure it was him.

that’s exactly what adam said.

the man in the picture could not have been adam.

furthermore, there is a possibility that the alpha and adam are separate people, and that li yuyen has a connection with the two.

however, hae-won had to admit that this reasoning was just a terrible delusion.

“no, you’re right.”

hae-won jumped up from her seat. her eyes looking down at adam were moist before she knew it. her feelings now are not anger or betrayal, but despondency.

and it was helplessness.

the relationship built on falsehood ends in truth, and the emptiness that comes from the reality that all the hearts that were once considered sincere were fake.

“that alpha must be you, too, right?”

“…….”

“you had no choice but to pretend to have accepted a political marriage, but in fact, you’ve been preparing for it for a long time, right?”

“…….”

adam, who was looking up at hae-won, straightened his head. there was a deep shade on his face.

in time, “that’s right.” adam readily admitted.

he was not as relaxed as he usually was when dealing with others. his eyes fixed on the ground, his strong clenched fist, and his trembling voice for some reason. his anxiety seemed to be transmitted through the air.

“as hae-won guessed. the reason why i hid my character and entered the js family is to avenge my mother.” adam answered quietly.

“i didn’t feel guilty about deceiving my fiance. i didn’t care how many people were sacrificed by my personal revenge.” at that moment, hae-won had a throbbing pain in her chest. it was confirmed through his mouth that she was a victim.

“but it’s different.” then adam raised his head toward hae-won.

“after i met hae-won, i didn’t care about revenge.” he added in a clear voice.

hae-won was shaken by adam’s sincere confession. in fact, she didn’t think he’d tell the truth straight away.

adam rose from the sofa and cautiously approached hae-won. “there will be no one but hae-won who loves me like this in the future. i can’t live without hae-won. what about you, hae-won?

adam’s eyes were more serious than ever. “can’t you? because you’re also an alpha?”

adam asked with particular strength at the word alpha. but hae-won couldn’t say anything.

how many women can blame a man for giving up revenge because he loves her terribly? at least it wasn’t her.

“please answer, hae-won.”

“………no.”

“what?”

“n-not the same.” hae-won’s shoulders shook finely.

there was a sound that she didn’t know if it was sobbing or laughing through the cracks in her lips. and transparent tears fell down.

“hae-won?” adam was embarrassed by hae-won’s tears. hae-won quickly stepped back and rubbed her eyes.

“d-do you remember when you met me and said you felt weird?”

“yes, i remember.”

“it’s not an illusion. adam wasn’t the only one who hid your trait.”

hae-won couldn’t even see properly because she was wiping away her tears.

what kind of expression does adam have? how does he feel? she’s sure he’s flustered. maybe he’s happy that she’s an omega.

but one thing was certain. she cannot give the ending he wants.

seo hae-won was one of the weak people who ran away cowardly all her life. moreover, she was a cowardly woman who had forgotten, no, given up on how to live as herself.

“……hiding traits? hae-won, too?

adam’s voice trembled slightly. he was taken aback, too.

“yes, that’s right. when i was young, i almost got into a dangerous situation while waking up as an omega. the person who saved me was chairman seo. and she helped me live as an alpha.”
