Adam carefully carried the unconscious Damián out of the hotel, feeling the weight of the omega's body in his arms. The rays of the setting sun bathed the scene, creating a golden aura around them. Adam gently placed Damián on the back seat of the car, feeling the soft leather beneath his hands. He brushed a strand of hair from Damián's forehead, noting the smoothness of the strands between his fingers.
As the car began to move, Adam couldn't help but steal glances at the young omega in his arms. The sight of Damián's peaceful face, now devoid of the previous passion and intensity, stirred a protective instinct in Adam. He vowed to do whatever it took to ensure Damián's safety and well-being.
Dr. Jacob sighed, choosing his words carefully. "Based on my observations and the information you've shared, it appears that Damián may be your true soulmate, a rare and deep connection between two individuals in the ABO world."
Adam's eyes widened in disbelief. True soulmates? The concept seemed almost too fantastical to grasp. Yet deep down, he couldn't deny the inexplicable attraction he felt for Damián, the way the chemistry between them ignited like a blazing fire.
Preserving his honor and good intentions in front of his omega became a matter that required reflection. He was determined to express his genuine remorse for not being present when Damián woke up.
However, he had his reasons for his absence. The incident at the Grand Kadman Hotel had significant repercussions, leading to a police investigation that demanded considerable effort, time, and money.
Three days ago ...
Adam strode into his office with firm and determined steps. The luxurious and imposing environment reflected his position as the President of International Kadman. The glass walls offered a panoramic view of the city, while the sleek and modern furniture conveyed power and sophistication.
Taylor followed closely behind, wearing a mix of curiosity and concern on her face. She knew something extraordinary had happened, but she didn't yet have all the pieces of the puzzle.
As Adam made his way to his imposing mahogany desk, his gaze swept across the room, capturing every detail of the surroundings. His meticulously curated art collection adorned the walls, evoking a sense of culture and refinement.
He sat in his plush leather chair and adjusted his posture, exuding confidence and authority. His fingers glided smoothly over the polished surface of the desk, revealing a hint of nervousness amidst his determination.
Taylor stood patiently, awaiting instructions, her eyes scanning the room with admiration and a hint of unease. She pondered how Adam would handle the delicate situation involving the Omega and the scandal that had unfolded at the hotel.
Finally, Adam turned his gaze towards Taylor, his eyes filled with a complex blend of emotions. He let out a deep sigh before speaking, his words carrying sincerity and concern.
"Taylor, I want you to coordinate a trustworthy team to contain any discussion regarding the incident at the hotel. Spare no effort; I want concrete answers as quickly as possible and any reports silenced."
Adam's determined expression reflected his resolve to protect his reputation and uncover the truth behind the incident. Taylor knew that as Alpha Prime, he would not allow his image to be tarnished.
With a nod, Taylor demonstrated her professional dedication with her eyes. She had always stood by Adam's side, supporting his decisions and safeguarding his interests. Now, she felt even more motivated to ensure that everything would be resolved.
As Taylor left the office to carry out her mission, Adam directed his attention to the computer on his desk. His nimble fingers typed with precision, accessing confidential information and influential contacts.
However, beneath his facade of strength and control, a subtle restlessness persisted. He wondered what had happened to Damián and if he was safe and recovering. A mix of guilt and shame weighed heavily on him.
Leaving Adam alone in the presidential room, Taylor, as his assistant, experienced a blend of pride for the work she had done during the unexpected crisis along with a sense of discontent, wishing she could escape and hide. While checking her calls, her device vibrated incessantly, alerting her to a deluge of information.
Each notification felt like a flame igniting her world and causing it to crumble, especially considering that Adam had been involved with someone else during the incident. Despite things moving towards a resolution, Taylor had never experienced such turbulence before. She could sense a shift in Adam's demeanor, as if something significant had occurred.
When the clock struck at 7:00 PM, Adam asked Taylor to inform the driver and prepare the car. He was heading to Kadman's official residence. This request caught Taylor by surprise. She had imagined that Adam would be working all night, being the workaholic he was, with an endless list of overdue commitments.
Taylor also yearned for an update on the progress of the investigation. Who was the Omega responsible for drugging Adam, and why? She believed that if Adam discovered the truth, he would be furious and ready to shatter lives.
However, to her surprise and disappointment, Adam appeared calm, and there was no mention or speculation about an ongoing investigation. This left Taylor with a series of doubts. Who would dare harm Adam, or had he already uncovered the whole scheme on his own?
The idea of an omega drugging an alpha to sleep with him was an outdated and outlandish crime, especially when it came to an Alpha Prime like Adam. Such a notion seemed absurd and unworthy, fueling Taylor's indignation towards the incident.
Nevertheless, seeing him heading toward the hospital raised suspicions. Was he genuinely concerned about the omega?
Omegas and their sweet pheromones and seductive necks were all contemptible trash to her, Taylor thought with disdain, feeling a wave of repugnance toward them. She was well aware of the capabilities of omegas, and due to painful experiences in her own life, she harbored a deep hatred for them, unable to bear their presence. The memory of her mother being replaced by an omega and her father abandoning their family only intensified her aversion.
While these thoughts simmered in her mind, Taylor found solace in being an alpha. She felt grateful for possessing superior abilities and belonging to those who ruled the world. The sense of power and superiority enveloped her, reinforcing her conviction that she was better than any omega.
However, a sense of unease suddenly took hold of Taylor. Why was Adam so calm? Why couldn't she read or interpret his emotions as usual? The uncertainty bothered her, awakening an instinct of mistrust toward Adam's intentions.
As she tried to decipher Adam's behavior, one question persisted in her mind: was he going back to his parent's house? The possibility of Adam seeking refuge or support from his family in difficult times intrigued Taylor and made her even more restless.
With her rise to the position of Adam's personal assistant, Taylor had devoted herself intensely to gaining and maintaining the job. She knew it was a unique opportunity to be close to Adam and the Kadmans, a family she had always admired since childhood.
Over the years, her admiration for Adam had only grown, becoming something much deeper than mere professionalism.
Every blind date arranged by her family, "Her Mother, Elisabeth Kadman," was a silent torture for Taylor. She secretly wished for all these encounters to fail, nurturing a hidden hope that Adam might see her beyond the professional relationship they shared.
Taylor couldn't pinpoint the exact moment her unrequited platonic love for Adam formed; or if it had always existed within her since she was young. In the past few months—she had felt a glimmer of hope regarding Adam.
He had protected and taken care of her, but she knew it wasn't romantic love. However, she was willing to accept any feelings he offered, even if they didn't align with her true desires.
Taylor tried to maintain a positive attitude, although she acknowledged that her thoughts were somewhat absurd. It was hard to ignore the number of people Adam had rejected over time. However, she convinced herself that a criminal omega who had drugged him would never be admitted by him.
Determined to be the woman who would conquer Adam Kadman, Taylor saw herself as the perfect alpha for him. All the efforts she had dedicated over the years would not be in vain. She would be the only one to reach the heart of the powerful billionaire.
After the incident in his apartment, Adam discussed with his parents the persecution Taylor and Clarice were facing. Lady Elisabeth Kadman, his mother, concerned about the situation, invited Taylor to spend some time at their residence.
Throughout the journey there, Adam remained silent, as if absorbed in his own thoughts. Taylor had contacted Lady Elisabeth Kadman and informed her of some facts, but she knew that Adam would provide the necessary clarifications personally.
While they were engrossed in these thoughts, Taylor heard Adam talking on the phone in the car. He seemed to be asking someone about the condition of someone named "him." Curious, Taylor tried to find an opportunity to question Adam, but before she could ask anything, he abruptly ended the call. The expression on Adam's face was tense and distant, leaving Taylor intrigued and concerned.
The atmosphere in the car became even stranger and tenser after the call. Taylor squeezed her hands tightly, feeling the anxiety grow within her. Some concern seemed to be consuming Adam, but he didn't share his thoughts with her. This lack of communication made her restless and uncertain about what was happening.
She and Clarice had endured three hellish days. Clarice had cried continuously for two days, while Callum acted as if he didn't care about their relationship. Clarice's life seemed to revolve around Callum, and Taylor questioned how long she would endure this situation. Both Callum and Adam were ambitious and desired to change the world.
Recalling the image of Clarice crying, a deep anger seized Taylor. Despite the social differences, she and Clarice had become good friends. However, Taylor was not willing to forgive those two omegas, nor would she let this situation go unnoticed. She was determined to gain the power necessary for revenge, even if she had to wait for it. Taylor swore to herself that she would seek justice.
