Laotian left the company early wanting to see Daniel. The Alpha was glad to know that he could finally find retaliation for what had happened Daniel and their daughter but for an unknown reason, he was feeling restless.
He went straight to the mansion expecting to see his beloved wife's smiling face, but instead, the Omega was squeezed into a corner with their son on his arms, his pinkish cheeks were tainted with tears and he was slightly shaking. Laotian rushed towards Daniel with his heart pounding.
" What happened!? " Laotian asked worriedly checking both Luangmin and Daniel.
" L-Laotian. . . " When Daniel realized that Laotian was there, he immediately burst in tears falling into the Alpha's chest. Laotian hugged him tight, he could feel how terrified Daniel was right now. No wonder he wasn't feeling good the whole afternoon even though it was good news that he could finally avenge his family.
It turns out Daniel was like this, Laotian kissed Daniel's forehead whispering his assurance as his thoughts went darker and darker. He wouldnever ever forgive who did this to Daniel, and Laotian already knows who the culprit was.
"Shhh, it's okay. It's okay. I'm here now." Laotian whispered.
'that vermin' Laotian growled in his mind, at times like this he regretted not having to kidnapped Daniella Sullen and torture her to death himself.
" I-I'm scared Laotian. " Daniel burst causing Luangmin to also cry.
"I'm always here to protect you and Luangmin," Laotian cooed, unfortunately, Daniel's mind was too occupied to even comprehend what the Alpha was talking at the moment. He was just glad that he was finally by his side.

"Isn't that the woman in the sex video? I can't believe she still has the face to show in public." One customer whispered the second she recognized Daniella walking inside the coffee shop. She was not from the same university as her but the video was shared to her by a friend so she immediately recognized her.
" Wow, I can't believe a woman like her could be such a slut and scheming. She looks so delicate and weak. " another one said, she took her phone and started recording Daniella as she found her way the counter to order.
" Yeah, I wonder who she's meeting here. A different man!? She's so disgusting. "
" Hmm, I wonder how her fiance reacted to her video!? I guess not all Alphas get to be successful when it comes to relationships. "
" So shameless. It's so disgusting just seeing her. " One customer said again. It had only been a couple of minutes before Daniella arrived at the cafe and people who recognized her already started whispering to their friends or partners how shameless she was.
Even the employee at the counter looked at her in disgust and almost refused to serve her when it was her turn to order.
Fortunately, if there is one thing Daniella is good at aside from pretending, she is also very good at enduring. She believes that when she endures everything, good things will happen to her when the time comes, but of course in this lifetime, no good things will ever come to her again.
Ignoring the whispers, Daniella regarded the people around her as irrelevant as she silently found herself a table and waited for Daniel to come. She was confident that Daniel won't risk Mo Laotian knowing his past, that there was no mistake that the Omega would come and rush to meet her. But a couple of hours passed, no Daniel had come.
Daniella continued to patiently wait but another hour had passed again but Daniel never came. She started getting impatient, Daniella tried to contact the Omega's phone but it didn't go through. Daniella was already restraining her anger, she tightened her grip on her phone as she thought of the things she wanted to do to Daniel.
" That damn Omega is really trying his luck. " Daniella viciously grit. Her pitiful appearance instantly faded and transmuted into a murderous one.
" Ms. Daniella Sullen, we have a warrant of arrest. Will you please come with us to the police station. " While Daniella was still trying to call Daniel and of how she will make him pay for making her for long, five police officers approached her table and spoke these words making her incoherent and surprise.
"For what? Officer, you must have mistaken, I have not committed any crime." Daniella questioned confused, totally forgotten that she had just killed someone yesterday. She honestly believes no one would know what she did.
" You are reported for the murder of Mr. Rafael Alonso and an unborn child for the attempted murder of Mr. Daniel Sullen, and acquaintance rape. " As soon as the police stated this, Daniella found herself being held by one of the police pushing her body against the table. Daniella was completely shocked, she couldn't say anything until she felt the cold metal against her skin. She struggled in a deep panic.
'H-how did they know? Daniel! Daniel! Daniel you again! I'm going to kill you. I'm gonna kill you someday.' Daniella screamed inside her head.
" This is a mistake! That slut is accusing me. You must believe me. I didn't kill anyone! " Daniella shrieked. Even though she thought she was a strong-minded woman. Daniella is still afraid of going to prison. Who wouldn't be!? She was just a fragile woman.
" You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present during any questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided for you at government expense but I believe you can afford one. " the police who held Daniella smirked as he recites her rights while locking the handcuffs. He had already seen different kinds of murderers after working as a police officer for so many years, and among them, the scariest ones were those who looked like they can't even hurt a fly.
Daniella screamed, she continued to plead innocence not even realizing the onlookers were filming the scene from the very moment the police walked inside the cafe. All were very shocked at what they heard and immediately uploaded it on social media.
This video once again shocked the country, not just because of Daniella Sullen but because the police officer who arrested her wasn't just a normal police officer. The ones who recognized the group instantly knew this is Daniella Sullen's end. This is because not just anyone could make such force to move in order to arrest one helpless woman.

Laotian held Daniel's body against his arms. Thankfully the Omega finally got tired and slept. Earlier, the Alpha had never seen that side of Daniel before, even when he told him the death of their daughter, Daniel didn't act as he did earlier.
He was in such a mess, he was crying and wouldn't stop trembling. He didn't want to let go of their son as well. If it was not because Laotian forced him to give Luangmin to him, the little baby would have still be trapped in his mother's arms, crying.
Fortunately, he managed to snatch the baby away before anything happens as Daniel was also burning hot in fever, but even so, he refused to sleep and kept on struggling to hold their son again. Laotian hated seeing Daniel like this.
" Laotian, What happened!? " Laura Mo asked his son who's worriedly holding the Omega. Earlier when Daniel had a panic attack, Laotian didn't have a choice and called for help, now Family members gathered in the room after the doctor had injected sedatives to Daniel.
Laotian didn't respond, he didn't know himself what happened although he had speculations on his mind. Silence invaded the room again after Luara Mo didn't ask further.
" Brother, I think mom and dad needed to know. " Hanlu suggested in serious tune after a while. When he saw earlier what had happened to Daniel, he also doesn't want to see it again. He never wanted anything to happen to Daniel nor wanted to see his elder brother's worried and helpless face. Elder Mo and Mrs. Mo looked at Hanlu in confusion and concern.
" . . . " Laotian continued to observe Daniel's sleeping features and he could not help his heart from aching so much for his beloved before he looked at Hanlu and nodded. Seeing this, Mo Hanlu also nodded and looked at his parents. Mo Tain Zi also stood at the far side of the room crossing his arms with a serious expression. The situation had become like this, their parents needed to know.
