Adam's vehicle glided through the wide, impeccably paved streets of the luxurious Galway Valley. This exclusive residential area housed only 14 majestic mansions that rose with grandeur amidst a sophisticated and secluded environment. The air exuded refinement and opulence, revealing itself as a true haven for the privileged. The magnificence of these palace-like mansions surpassed the beauty of classic tales from ancient ABO world stories.
Each mansion had its private street, and the streets of Galway Valley were an undeniable symbol of exclusivity. Taylor marveled at the breathtaking landscape, allowing herself to be captivated by the elevated perspective on the ultrarich lifestyle. It was a distant reality that now unfolded before her eyes. Galway Valley was a place of tradition, nobility, and luxury, where money alone was not enough to guarantee entry. One had to be among the elite to gain access to this architectural gem.
Upon arriving at their destination, the car finally came to a stop in front of the imposing Kadman Mansion. With the engine turned off and silence enveloping them, Taylor felt a shiver run down her spine. Stepping out of the vehicle, her feet touched the cobblestone pavement, providing a tangible sense of solidity and quality. It was as if each stone held centuries of history and tradition.
The mansion's ballroom stretched before her like a fairy tale castle, a visual spectacle that took her breath away. At night, the lighting shimmered, bathing everything around in a sparkling glow, as if the sun were permanently present in the night sky. Every detail screamed elegance, sophistication, and, above all, an abundance of wealth. It was an environment where luxury was palpable in every square inch.
As Adam and his parents distanced themselves, forming a small, distant group, Taylor suddenly felt excluded. Tension hung in the air, filling the space that once radiated elegance and luxury. The young woman realized that something was happening beyond her understanding, something that left her on the outside. The mixture of subtle fragrances, an olfactory symphony composed of scented candles and fresh flowers, enveloped her, adding a sensory touch to her experience as her heart raced.
The scene before her was like a living painting, filled with visual and sensory details that heightened her senses. She could see the richly ornamented red velvet curtains gently flowing with the night breeze. Crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceiling, casting bright light and reflecting infinite particles of light throughout the hall. The sound of footsteps echoed through the marble-clad walls, creating a soft and reverberating melody.
As Taylor observed the growing distance between her and Adam, a subtle shadow of despair mingled with her feelings. She was not willing to lose the status and benefits that a connection with the Kadmans could bring. Her love for Adam was not only romantic; there was a burning ambition for wealth and power underlying every beat of her heart.
As her gaze swept across the opulent mansion, her thoughts turned to the financial resources and social position that this family represented. She knew that joining Adam would mean gaining access to a world of unimaginable privileges and opportunities. It was a chance to escape her current reality and plunge into a sea of wealth, where all her desires could be fulfilled.
Her thoughts became calculating, searching for ways to ensure she stayed by Adam's side, not just out of love but out of financial interest as well. She knew she would have to play the game, using her manipulation and seduction skills to earn the trust of the Kadmans and secure her place in that prestigious family.
As she walked through the mansion's corridors, Taylor allowed herself to dream of the possibilities that a union with Adam could bring. She envisioned herself surrounded by luxury, influence, and power, enjoying every privilege that money could offer. For her, love and ambition intertwined dangerously, and she was willing to do anything to keep this world of dreams within her reach.
During a private family gathering...
Lord Malcolm: Adam, please have a seat. We need to have a serious conversation about what has happened. I am perplexed by this entire situation and would like to better understand what led to these events.
Adam: Of course, father. I understand your concern, and I'm willing to explain everything as clearly as possible.
Adam sat in the chair, feeling the weight of responsibility and the tension in the air. The room was filled with heavy silence as the two men prepared for a crucial conversation.
Lord Malcolm: Adam, how is this possible? Two dominants and two Alpha Primes in the same place? This coincidence is extraordinary. Now, the most important question tonight, my son: did you mark him?
Adam: Yes, father. I marked him.
A deadly silence settled in the room, interrupted only by the nervous sighs escaping from Lord Malcolm's lips. His gaze sought answers as he tried to grasp the magnitude of the situation.
Lord Malcolm: I am not here to condemn you, Adam. But it is essential that we know how to deal with the consequences of this bond. We need to act strategically to minimize the damage and protect the Kadman name.
With composure, Malcolm continued: How did all this happen, and what about Callum? Adam explained that there was an intense explosion of pheromones from both him and Callum simultaneously. A rare and powerful phenomenon that caused the people around them to faint, unable to resist the overwhelming impact of the connection between the two.
Lady Elisabeth—was emotionally shaken. After all, even though she was Adam's personal assistant, she had developed a deep affection for Taylor. As she listened to Adam's explanation, she felt a tightening in her heart, worrying not only; about her son's future but also about Taylor. She wondered what would happen to Taylor when she discovered the truth.
With tears in her eyes, Lady Elisabeth searched for answers, questioning whether the presence of this omega in her son's life was part of a malicious plan. Doubts and uncertainties consumed her; her mind was filled with fears and contemplation.
Lord Malcolm: What's done is done. We need to find a way to deal with this situation and minimize the incidents that are occurring. Let's devise a careful strategy to protect our family and keep the Kadman reputation intact.
Lady Elisabeth interrupted determinedly, "I want to proceed with the plans for your wedding, Adam. Your wedding to Taylor." Her voice was firm, but her expression revealed a mixture of hope and apprehension.
Adam poured himself a glass of whiskey, sliding the glass along the mahogany counter with a faint clinking sound. His father, Lord Malcolm, picked up a similar glass and joined him in the drink, the ice cubes softly clinking.
With calm gestures and a carefully maintained serenity on his face, Adam tried to convey reassurance to his mother as he responded, "I marked the omega of my own free will, mother, not out of convenience." He brought the glass to his lips, feeling the smooth warmth of the whiskey glide down his throat while maintaining eye contact with her.
He continued, choosing his words carefully. "There is another point to consider: the orders of the AO world are not rigid structures; they are constantly changing." Adam leaned slightly forward, his voice becoming softer and laden with a certain melancholy.
"In the AO connection, there is a small amount of value that few can comprehend, so familiar constellations may differ. 'True or false,' 'right or wrong, nothing is absolute truth." There is a person who fits perfectly with me, and I am not allowed to let go of this new reality at any moment.
Adam continued: "I was willing to marry Taylor, even if it wasn't a romantic relationship. I was willing to give up my bachelor life for the sake of the family." His eyes gleamed with emotional intensity. "But now, everything has changed. I have found someone who is 100% compatible with me, someone who has sparked an intense and unique connection." He sighed, sensing the woody scent of the whiskey permeating the air around him. "This is something special, Mother, something I cannot simply ignore."
Malcolm echoed Adam's sentiments and added, his voice filled with paternal pride, "It's hard for an Alpha to bond and nearly impossible for a Prime. But above all, your father wants you to be happy, Adam." He placed his hand on his son's shoulder, conveying support and understanding.
Looking at his wife, he continued, "Elisabeth, you just need some time to get used to this idea. And if he has such high compatibility, then he must be as good as our son." Lord Malcolm gently placed his hand over Lady Elisabeth's, offering a reassuring gesture. "Adam, arrange a meeting so that he can be properly introduced. I want to meet this omega who has captured our son's heart."
Lady Elisabeth nodded slowly, still processing all the information. She felt Malcolm's comforting touch on her hand and looked at him with tenderness. "You're right, Malcolm. I need some time to digest all of this, but I hope you understand that it won't be easy."
