Chapter 321: No power over me

Seoha’s POV

"One."

Huff.

"Two."

Taesan’s heavy grunts wake me up and I sit up with a hand rubbing against my eyes.

I’m still stark naked and in the middle of the beautiful nest my alpha made last night.

Kang Taesan is doing a round of push-ups, and I can’t help but stare.

The noises he’s making are so raw. His hair is hiding his face, yet my alpha looks like every omega’s desire.

There are sweat beads dripping from his forehead to the floor, and his big arm muscles are really tense.

Forgetting what we did last night, I start to slick up and blush. Just looking at this man makes me feel shy.

"Why so good looking?" I ask myself and he lifts his head to look at me mid-pushup.

"You’re awake? I made breakfast" he says and I smile at the thought of breakfast.

’That’s right, you greedy omega. Think of food, do not...that thing’ I scold myself.

"What did you make?" I ask with excitement to calm the other hunger.

"Ramyeon and some shrimps" he says, and the thought of a bowl of ramyeon with delicious shrimps makes me hungry.

"Thank you for taking care of us" I purr softly.

I’m so excited to eat what my alpha made for me. Taesan does one more pushup before he falls to the floor with a huff.

My eyes trace his legs in the sweatpants he’s wearing.

"How is your leg?" I ask.

"Better than yesterday" he replies, still lying flat on the floor. Taesan spreads his arms and legs out to look like a starfish, and I know it’s not intentional, but he looks adorable.

"You’re cute" I giggle and he gives me a stern glare.

"Do I look cute to you?" he asks with that same serious face and I nod, still giggling at his starfish position.

"Being cute is not a bad thing" I say and he grunts in disapproval.

"Stop calling me cute, I’m not cute" the alpha says with an eyeroll, and I wrap a blanket around my body.

"Let’s eat?" I ask and he groans, holding a one-sided grudge with me for calling him cute.

I watch my ’not cute’ husband as he gets up and picks up his phone. There’s a scowl on his face as he scrolls through the device.

"Are you looking for something?" I ask and he pockets the phone.

"Come on" he says, holding his hand out and leading me to the home’s small kitchen.

I take my seat on the high stool, and he passes the bowl of ramyeon to me.

"You made this?" I whisper in awe at the delicious meal as I dig in.

"Yes, it’s all for you, baby" Taesan says and I shut my eyes to savor every delicious flavor the meal has to offer.

It tastes really good. I guess I can say my husband is a ramyeon expert and I’ll brag to Minjae about it.

Minnie would be so jealous because he loves ramyeon. I know he’ll try to make a silly joke, and then manipulate me into inviting him over for lunch.

It would be so funny.

Lost in my imagination, I chuckle and slurp too hard, only to end up sending ramyeon soup to the wrong pipe.

"Oh goddess" I cough and Taesan passes a cup of water to me.

"Slow down, baby. Why are you eating so fast?" the alpha asks with worry, patting my back to help me.

He’s trying to save me from choking while I continue to cough and eat at the same time.

The meal is really good.

"Are you okay?" he asks, taking my chopsticks to make me stop eating and I pout at him before responding.

"I’m okay. Give me my chopsticks please" I wheeze.

"You should be careful, baby" he mutters as he wipes my mouth for me. I feel silly for choking over an imagination, but Taesan doesn’t seem my mind silliness.

"Last night, you said there was something you planned" I say when the sting in my throat is gone.

"Ah...that" he says plainly and checks his phone once more.

"Can you exercise patience?" he asks and I slouch in the seat, focusing on my round belly to complain.

"Boys, your father is always hiding things from us" I say and Taesan snorts, leaning forward to talk to the babies too.

"Boys, your mom is the most handsome omega in the world" my alpha says and I forget all about the reason for my sulking.

How can I be sulky when Taesan is like this?

His phone dings and he checks the screen with a satisfied look on his face.

"It’s here" he says and I lift my bowl to gulp down the soup before getting out of my seat. I run after the alpha with a smile on my face and a blanket covering my naked body.

I wonder what he prepared for us today.

"Are you ready?" he asks and opens the door.

My happy smile drops when I see my aunt with her sons on their knees in front of the house.

They look like they didn’t sleep through the night. Jiwoo and Riwoo have been beaten up badly, and my aunt looks absolutely shaken up.

"That’s him, mom, that’s Seoha! Beg him for mercy" Riwoo cries out and I move closer to Taesan’s side.

I suddenly remember how Riwoo used to beat me up as a kid.

"Seoha, my little nephew! Have mercy on us" my aunt calls out, and I stare at them with horror.

"Taesan...what’s going on?" I ask and he looks at me with an evil glint in his eyes.

"I can have them killed if you want, baby. I’ll get them killed and no one will ever remember they existed" he says and I look at them again.

They were the only ones I had left in the city after my parents died. They’re my family, but they proved to be monsters.

"You decide what happens to them, baby. Your wish becomes their life sentence" Taesan says, leaning down to press a kiss to my lips.

I know what he wants to hear.

He wants them dead and I also feel the need to ask for their death...but what’s the point in it?

Shouldn’t I make them live and see me fulfill every dream they mocked me for having? Shouldn’t I let them wait and see what I’m becoming?

"I think we should let them go" I say softly and Taesan’s expression hardens.

"I want them dead" he says plainly in a cold voice.

"I want them dead too, but she’s still my grandma’s child...and they no longer have power over me" I whisper and he wraps his arms around my waist over the blanket.

"Fuck, baby why do you have to be so...good?" he asks.

"It’s just who I am" I say and he kisses the top of my head.

"They’re lucky" he murmurs even though he’s clearly displeased. "Do you have any questions for them?" he asks and I nod.

I have two questions.

"Aunt?" I call and she looks up. She looks pathetic as she cries for mercy from the hands of a kid she used to bully.

"Why did you do all that to me? Why did you treat me so badly?" I ask and Taesan growls.

"If you dare to lie, I’ll take one of your sons’ left eyes" Taesan says and she screams in fear.

"There was no reason! I swear! You just made me sick of your existence" she says, bowing her head to the floor.

"Sick of my existence? I did nothing to you. I was a child" I say and she starts to sob pitifully.

"I know, I know, I’m sorry" she says and I look at Taesan’s face, I feel like crying.

They did all that to me for nothing.

"Do you change your mind?" my alpha asks and I shake my head in refusal, sniffling to hold my tears back.

"What happened to my inheritance?" I ask and Riwoo starts to blabber.

"That lawyer betrayed us. He came for us and took everything back; we don’t even have a home to sleep in anymore" he says and Jiwoo starts to sob.

"Forgive me! It’s my mom’s fault" Jiwoo points at his mother.

"I didn’t ask you to ever hit him" my aunt defends herself and they start to attack each other in an attempt to clear their names.

The full-grown men and women who used to hurt me for sport, are all crying for my forgiveness.

"Should I get my gun?" Taesan asks and I give him a wobbly smile.

"Let them be, they’re already punishing themselves on my behalf" I say, watching the way the mother and sons fight over nothing.

"Is the lawyer the one you..." I trail off to stop myself from saying the word ’murdered’.

"Yes. I killed him and everyone in his firm, but don’t worry, everything that’s yours will be delivered to you by Junho" he says.

"I don’t even want anything from Shin Yechan’s wealth" I say as I sneak my hand out of the blanket and take his bigger hand.

"Let’s go in and enjoy our honeymoon" I whisper and he picks me up bridal style, kissing the tip of my nose as he takes me into the house.

My alpha chuckles and shuts the door like the madness taking place in front of the house is none of our business.
