Free Web NovelChapter 189: Stolen from me?
Seoha’s POV
"Seoha?"
A firm voice calls my name from the outside of the bubble I’m trapped in.
I don’t want to be here, but I’m in a bubble that is starting to suffocate me.
I can’t breathe in this place, and the worst part is that it’s closing in on me...it’s going to kill me.
Why would Taesan pull a prank on me like this? Is that way he has been dark all noon? Is this his method of getting rid of me?
"Seoha did you hear what I said?" Taesan asks.
The bare-chested alpha keeping his distance from me and I suddenly become too aware of everything around us.
The rustling of the grasses and tree leaves, the buzzing of night insects that are flying around, the singing fishermen in the distance, and the noise of night crawlers coming out of hiding.
"Seoha..." Taesan reaches out me, and I step out of his reach, looking at him with pure disbelief.
"You k-know what she means to me" I say in a voice that doesn’t sound like mine; I sound broken and wasted.
And really, to me that’s all I am...broken and wasted.
"You know what that little girl means to me; how can you say something that cruel?" I ask.
My voice is getting smaller with each word I say.
"Cruel? Seoha...you think I’m pranking you?" he asks and as he comes forward, I step backwards.
I don’t want him to touch me when he’s being this way...he knows how attached I am to Sooin.
"Do you think I’m happy to make this fucking painful announcement to you?" Taesan asks through his bared teeth.
"How can she be mine?" I yell and his chest rumbles with a growl, making me look at the tattoo right above his heart.
It’s Sooin’s name; bold and clear.
It doesn’t make sense.
Yes, she calls me daddy...but it’s only because she’s a lonely child who misses her mother.
I was a virgin before Taesan came into my life.
It doesn’t make any sense at all, and I’m breaking apart too fast for my own liking.
"How can she- how can she be mine when you took my virginity just months ago?" I ask, legs shaking as I squat right there in the middle of the dark forest.
My legs can’t hold me up any longer, the pain is overwhelming.
"She’s yours because she was stolen from your body" Taesan says calmly and I lose it.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? YOU SOUND CRAZY!"
The alpha doesn’t respond to my hysteric yells; he just lifts my body from the floor and slams me into a hard tree in one go.
"Shut up" he sneers and I refuse.
"LET ME GO!" I shout, fighting uselessly against the alpha as he pulls up the shirt on my body and press his finger against the surgery scar on my belly.
"Let me...go" I give up my shouting as he pokes the scar like he hates me, finger digging into that painful part of me.
"How long ago was this?" he asks, and I start to breathe with difficulty.
"Let me go, please!" I beg.
"Huh? Don’t answer then, do the fucking math!" he says in my face, and I shut my eyes to fight it off.
Memory
I wake up in an unfamiliar place, sighing as I look around.
It looks and almost smells like a hospital, but it’s not quite one...it’s too...cheap.
Goddess, I hate hospitals, why am I here? Did my cousin beat me up again?
My body aches.
I should be in heat but I can’t feel anything...I try to move my big toe, but it’s impossible.
"Hey Seoha" Daeshin comes in with a smile on his face, eyes scanning me as he sits on the chair next to my bed.
He’s the new guy I met, we are ’friends’ right now, but we live together and he takes good care of me.
I think he might like me and will ask me out soon.
"Where am I?" I ask, but my speech comes out slurred.
I feel heavily drugged...is this normal with heat? Is it because I presented too early?
"Daeshin...?" I call.
"You had an issue with your appendix, but don’t worry now...you’re fine" he says, brushing his palm over my head.
I trust him, he understands me...he takes care of me...I might be in love with him.
"Thank you" I say, but it comes out wrong.
"Huh?"
"Thank you for being here for me" I say and he gives me a smile.
"Of course, I said I’ll be your trustworthy friend, didn’t I?" he asks, and I smile back, falling asleep again.
Present.
Taesan shakes me back to reality as I start to sob.
He pulls the shirt down and stares at me with an intensity that chokes me up...I feel helpless, stupid, used.
If only I had just stayed with my parents.
"Crying?" Taesan asks, and I give him a weak push, "how long have you known?" I ask through the sobs. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"I just found out" he says, breathing out slowly as I keep shaking and hyperventilating.
He doesn’t have to explain further; the lines are falling into place; she knew she was mine even before I did.
That was why my omega risked our life to stay during that first night at the hotel.
That’s why she looks so much like me.
That’s why she could smell me.
My legs give out again, but before I would drop to the floor, Taesan catches me.
"I was underage" I say with realization. Daeshin stole from me when I was not even eighteen yet.
And then as I grew older, he stole my nudes...what sin have I done to deserve all these?
My body has never been mine from the beginning.
"I can’t breathe" I say and Taesan hugs me to his body, pressing my nose to his neck and keeping his hand on my nape.
"I can’t breathe...I feel like dying" I say, staining Taesan with my tears and snot.
"I killed him" Taesan says and I shut my eyes, "it was his blood on my body last night, Seoha...I stabbed him and left his body on the floor for you" Taesan says.
Is that supposed to comfort me? It doesn’t!
"I want to kill him myself, I want to...I want to make him pay" I cry into his neck.
"We have plenty more people to ruin, baby...I’ll stand with you and end them all...for now, sleep" he says. freewebnovel.cσ๓
I don’t know what he did to me, but I pass out in his arms with only one thought on my mind.
Kang Sooin is my biological daughter.
