Warning: Scene of attempted forced sex
Robbie POV
I accelerated to catch up with Tony. The road was not as packed as it normally is. I had two glasses of wine during the meeting, so it was good that it was not packed. To top it off, all the work and drama that took place made me feel tired, sleepy, and dizzy. My mind was racing with several questions and emotions as I was driving.
Why was this happening?
All I wanted was to be with Tony. I even gave up the idea of wanting him as my mate and just hoped that we could at least be friends and I could support him but…
Ever since we met, it has been a roller coaster of a ride. I was never able to speak to Tony without it escalating into a dispute.
I truly did not lie to you, Tony… I really did not...
I noticed my hands have turned cold. My vision was turning slightly blurry. My headache almost caused me to crash into another car as I held my head.
Forcing myself to ignore the throbbing pain in my head, I concentrated on the road. Fifteen minutes later, I reached the staff quarter where Tony stayed. After parking the car, I jumped down from it and ran up two steps at a time. Reaching outside Tony's door, I swayed a little as my vision got hazy again. I exhaled internally, trying to calm myself. I have to explain everything. I won't let this misunderstanding break us apart. I stretched my hand to rang the bell when,
"Don't! You will wake Twen up" I heard Tony's voice behind me say.
I quickly turned around to see Tony sitting on the stairs looking at me. He looked miserable. His hair was disheveled, his pretty eyes were puffy with dark circles, and his shirt was half out of his jeans. He got up slowly and came face to face with me.
"I thought you might come so I waited outside. You were faster than I thought" Tony said in a hollow voice.
"Tony" I started but found myself at a loss for words. I didn't know how to start explaining. He walked past me and unlocked the door.
"I did not think that you will leave your fiancee standing. Then again, you abandoned someone you got pregnant, I guess this gesture isn't that big of a deal" Tony said with a touch of sarcasm
These words triggered me. I wanted him to know that I have no relation with Sarah. There was no one in my life other than him. I stretched my hand and turned him around. It was difficult for me to see his face clearly but his scent was unmistakable. Somehow, his smell was too tempting today. Not only it escalated my headache but it was also arousing me. I left him and stepped back. I have come to tell him the truth and clear the misunderstanding. The last thing I wanted is for him to think I am a horny brat trying to take advantage of him to make him believe my words. I ended up holding my forehead. I was a lightweight but I never got drunk in two glasses of wine. This was not good.
"What is wrong with you? Is it some stupid ploy to gain my sympathy?" Tony asked.
Though his words sounded critical, I could still hear the concern underneath them. He is too soft. He could have easily got inside the house and slammed the door on my face. However, he noticed that I was not feeling well and got concerned. How could he stay so pure and affectionate after everything he had gone through?
"I had two glasses of wine. I guess the wine was too strong so I am a little dizzy" I explained.
"Come inside, I will get you a soup to heal your hangover"
I got inside behind him and sat on the couch. I leaned back and closed my eyes. My headache was killing me, but what pained me more was that Tony was upset because of me again. Yet, he cares about my headache enough to invite me in. He should have left me to suffer as I did with him!! What an idiot!!
I opened one eye to see what Tony was doing. I saw him coming out of the washroom after getting refreshed. He tip-toed to the door of Twen's bedroom and peeked in. Looking satisfied, he closed the door very softly. Then he walked back out and went inside the kitchen. I closed my eyes again until I heard a 'clink' of a china bowl being placed on the table in front of me. I sat up to see Tony standing before me and saying very formally,
"Drink it hot. It will help you with your headache."
I picked a spoonful and gulped it down. It was too hot, it burnt my tongue. Tony had a coffee mug in his hand and was sipping on it quietly. I placed the spoon back in the bowl and mumbled,
"She is not my fiancee. We never even formally got engaged. As soon as it was proposed, I canceled it."
Tony looked at me with a mocking smile and said sourly,
"Is it just me or have you gotten better at lying?"
"I am telling you the truth," I said feeling more helpless than ever.
"Have your soup, boss. You must be very tired of living a dual life and telling so many lies." Tony mocked, sipping on his coffee.
I have never seen Tony act this way. His every word was like a burning arrow piercing my chest. I clutched my fist tightly. Though we were sitting so close, I felt we were miles apart. All my efforts to close in the distance went down the gutter. Tony no longer believes me.
I lost all interest in drinking the soup letting my headache throb its way to my whole body. I tried again speaking in a hushed voice, afraid I will wake Twen up.
"Please believe me" I almost pleaded
"Robbie, just tell me what you want instead of beating around the bush. What are you trying to achieve by all this?" Tony asked looking at me.
"I just want to be with you and Twen," I mumbled.
Tony closed his eyes and sighed. He looked at me and then the soup bowl. He spoke in a dull tone,
"Since you are not interested to disclose your motive, just have the soup and leave. I don't have the strength to participate in your games"
I looked at him with a sinking feeling. His voice sounded so distant, there was not a tinge of the old familiarity. He appeared to have given up on me. I felt a strong wave of hopelessness wash over me. Is it really going to be over like this?
I held his hand as he was about to go to the kitchen and looked straight into his almond eyes.
"Ever since we met again, I did not lie to you. Not even once" I spoke seriously and truthfully.
Silence greeted my words. I saw Tony look at me for a while before wordlessly pulling his hand away. I saw him go to the kitchen and then to his room. I remained sitting there for a long time staring at the soup. I bowed my head and picked up the spoon again gulping down few more spoonfuls. It had gotten cold. I got up, feeling defeated. I decided to see him once before I leave because I did not know if he will ever meet me again. The moment I got up a wave of nausea took over. I forced it down and walked to Tony's room. I saw him kneeling down in front of a shelf, with a drawer open and him searching something frantically. He had changed into an oversized T-shirt and loose pants. He didn't hear me enter until I was right beside him. Fear filled his wide eyes as he stared at me.
Since my head was so full of miserable thoughts that I didn't immediately register his expression. I blinked to see him clearly. He looked strange. Though his eyes were full of fear, his face and neck were red, his breath was coming in gushes and there was a bit of sweat on his forehead.
I was just wondering what was going on when I caught a whiff of a smell that turned my mind blank immediately. It was a smell I can never forget. It was this that led to all the in-moment decisions that I took. It was Tony's heat pheromones. With my headache and slight drunkenness, I got completely overwhelmed by the overpowering desire taking over my mind. I felt all my reasoning and senses leaving my head and losing control.
Before I knew what I was doing, I caught hold of Tony's oversize t-shirt and started kissing him aggressively. One of my hands crept beneath his t-shirt exploring his chest while the other held his wrist. I felt Tony's hand on my chest and face, resisting but just barely. Pulling Tony by the waist, I pushed him down on the floor. I held his wrist above his head with one hand and with the other pulled his t-shirt up...
Are both of us doomed to always meet such a sad fate?
Was it again going to end with me hurting Tony?

Robbie's Dad's POV
"I see, and where is he now?" I asked, playing with the photo in my hand.
"Right now, he is with that 'colleague' and has yet to leave his place" the woman on the other end replied.
"He might end up crashing there but wait for another hour. If he doesn't leave, you are relieved of your duty" I said, sighing, as my eyes fixed on the man in the photo
"What if he leaves?" the woman asked
"Amanda, do you need me to give you instructions word by word?" I asked with irritation, then hung up on her.
Amanda was Stephen's assistant. She was, however, an ambitious lady. She sneakily made a deal with me too. Now working for both of us and earning twice her compensation. She is generally very smart but today she was acting stupid. I leaned back on my office chair, and looked at the picture of the man my son is chasing again. It made me wonder what exactly he saw in him, or if he was always so bad at choosing. This Tony was so bland that I felt Rogers was more attractive. He had nothing whatsoever that can attract a person's attention. It seemed as though his only skill was cooking, he only had a few close friends, he had no lover, and the only thing he seemed to be passionate about was his son. Even his looks were very average except for his almond eyes. What could my son possibly see in him?
After all the researches done by Rogers, we know that he came here long back as a teen with his son and worked several part times before entering our hotel chain. His Alpha and the father of the child is unknown. Did he get r*ped by a classmate but still kept the child? It is very uncommon among Omegas but sometimes when their partners leave them, they find solace in the company of their kids and especially in the case of r*pe where they got bonded by mistake. Though there was no certainty of his bonding. Even so, it does not explain why my son would find an attraction to such a bland Omega guy with a kid.
"Uncle!!" I heard a girl's voice from the doorway
I was sitting at my work table facing the wall. On hearing her, I turned and saw it was Sarah. She looked furious. She was glaring at me. I wonder how she entered my study room straight off? What were the servants doing? No one even informed me of her arrival
"Welcome, Sarah! It looks like you had quite a rough encounter with my son?" I greeted her casually.
She stomped to my table and banged both her hands on it. Locks of her messy hair fell on her face. Her pretty face was twisted in anger and pain. There were tear tracks made from her mascara. I was quite shocked to see her in such a disheveled state.
"What did Robbie told you to make you so upset?" I asked her in a colorless voice.
"Please stop! How long are you going to lie? Robbie told me everything!" she almost yelled.
My surprise wasn't even registered when I heard a set of quick steps approaching my door and just a second later saw Rogers' face emerge in the doorway. He came in front of the table with hurried steps,
"I am extremely sorry sir! I went for dinner and didn't see Miss Sarah coming. I apologize for my dereliction of duty" he said bowing to me apologetically, "Should I escort Miss out of the door?" he asked, formally
"I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE TILL I GET MY ANSWERS" Sarah suddenly burst out.
"Rogers it's ok. You may leave. I and Sarah have something to talk about" I said dismissing Rogers who bowed formally and walked out of the door.
Once he left and closed the door behind, I looked at Sarah. I saw her huffing and an angry tear flowing out of her eyes,
"Have a seat dear-"
"NO! First, answer me, why did you deceive me? WHY??" she interjected furiously
I entwined my fingers and looked at her calmly, "I will talk to you once you take your seat"
She remained standing glaring at me. This girl was definitely raised in a pampered atmosphere. It is not unusual for her to order people around and see them follow heedlessly. However, I have been in business for 30 years already and have commanded large numbers under me. I don't take orders, and especially not from this naive little girl.
After a long while, he begrudgingly took her seat. I handed her a glass of water, which she downed in one go despite her reluctance to take it. I smiled. That's more like it. I don't like disobedience but some rebellions are 'cute'.
"Now tell me what happened!"
Her breath got fast again. She swallowed down her saliva twice before speaking,
"Robbie, I went to meet Robbie, and just as usual he was trying to get rid of me" she paused, as tears leaked out of her eyes and she again gulped down her saliva, " We had hardly finished talking when a car went out of the parking and Robbie turned pale. He almost ran behind the car and then went to take his car to chase after it. When I stopped him to not leave me, he told me he-he-" more tears leaked out as she spits out, " that he loved that guy. A GUY!!!"
I frowned as her tears dropped on my table. I gave her a tissue which she took and dried her face. I patiently waited for her to stop crying. After around ten minutes, I forwarded her water again which she drank and looked a little calm. Then, I spoke to her slowly,
"Robbie is bi. Being in the 'Elite' society, you should be aware that it is not uncommon. He had recently developed an interest in his man and is chasing after-"
"Lies again" Sarah interjected bulging up in fury like a bullfrog, "He told me that he loved this man for eight years! EIGHT YEARS!!! You were definitely aware of it and were using my feelings for him to force our marriage to hide this truth isn't it?"
This was totally new information to me. He knew this guy for eight years? How is that even possible? Robbie was not even in this city back then! No, wait....eight years! Didn't Rogers say that this Tony guy came to Warham? Could it be that Tony and Robbie were in the same city eight years back? Did he meet him in college? No, he was not even a college student then? Where did he meet him?
High school?!!
Wait! No way!!
Could it be?
I quickly opened the side drawer and searched my notes of Guyana City and the high school Robbie studied in. Yes, it was that year when the recession hit, and our company suffered financially. I put Robbie in a public school. Did they meet there?
I put the notes aside and looked at Sarah who was still crying and throwing angry looks at me at the same time. I picked up the picture of Tony and turned it towards her.
"Is this the man he chased after?" I asked
"I didn't see the man's-" she started but stopped suddenly looking at the picture. She took it from my hand and scrutinized it thoroughly, "I-I have seen this man somewhere! I am sure I have but where?" she murmured to herself
I saw her analyzing the picture thoroughly and then slowly comprehension dawned on her eyes, "Yes-yes! I saw his picture on Robbie's cell phone. He was with another man and a kid"
"Yes. He is the one Robbie claims to be in love with. He works in our hotel. His name is Tony Hawker. He is an Omega but has hidden it-"
"He had hidden his identity?" Sarah asked, eyeing me from her mascara-filled teary eyes.
"Yes. Many Omegas do that in order to get a stable job. It looks like I have been neglecting my son's life a lot to not have known his love interest for this many years. Don't worry I will try to find a solution to it. You should now go and take a rest. You look exhausted"
"Omega? Omega...don-don't tell me Robbie is bonded to him...it can't be right?"
I did think of that possibility when Sarah mentioned that he had known Tony for so long but that had only complicated the matter.
"We'll talk about it later," I told her, sternly.
Sarah was not in the mood to just quietly take my words and leave. She jumped up, red-faced, make-up completely destroyed, looking like a demon.
"I AM NOT LEAVING TILL I-"
I had, nevertheless, lost all interest to argue with her. I interrupted her with a sharp cutting tone, "Silence"
Sarah abruptly stopped mid-sentence, puzzled by my tone. I continued with a cold glare, "I agreed for you to be my daughter-in-law but I have not given you permission to defame our family name to make your ends meet"
"I am not-" Sarah started, with a much-tamed voice.
"Did you think I would not know about your deeds behind my back?" I asked in an icy tone.
Sarah immediately cowed down, looking at me with slight fear, "I don't know what you are talking about"
"You don't?" I asked, amused, raising my eyebrow, "Should I spell it out for you?"
Sarah didn't respond, looking anywhere but towards me. I continued in the same cold tone, "I did tell you to try and change Robbie's mind, but I never gave you permission to spike his drink and stake Walker family reputation"
"I would not-"
"Quiet" I hissed
She held her tongue looking a little fearful. I spoke in a menacing voice, "I know that your dad is an expert in getting around the law with the loopholes in the legal system but if you cross me, I will get you looped in the legal system so tight that even your dad's tricks won't work. Your dad and I go back a long time, which is the only reason, I have not yet thrown you behind bars. If you want to marry Robbie, you better not resort to such cheap tricks"
Sarah lost all her gusto. Wordlessly, she stood there looking a little lost. She turned around and mechanically walked out of the door. I saw her leaving, thinking,
You are still too young to one-up me!
Leaving that aside, the picture of the situation is definitely more clear. If Robbie really is that Omega's bonded Alpha then he is also the father of that kid, it all makes sense now. The kid is making Robbie all soft and emotional!
I quickly took out all the pictures Rogers gathered for me of that Omega and looked for the picture of the kid. There were some of them with the kid but mostly his back was on the camera. After looking through for some time, I finally found a picture where the kid's side face was showing. For a brief moment when my mind went blank. The kid was almost an exact copy of Robbie. There is no doubt, he is Robbie's son. No wonder Robbie was so persistent about this matter and chasing after him. Blood relations often make people weak.
l leaned back on my chair with my eyes closed and a smile.
'Did you really think I wouldn't find out about it Robbie?
'Were you hiding this in fear that I might do something to your kid?'
Ha! I am not that ruthless! You really don't know how to play your cards; getting all emotional over a kid. If you had just spoken to me, you wouldn't have to go through such an arduous process. If that kid is the price for you to leave that Omega, then you will have it.
