Chapter 49
49–Begged Everyone But Nobody Cared
Graham:
“Why did you call me home?” I asked my father, irritated.
He had not only told me that he was going to marry Penny but also that Madeline knew and kept it from me.
Still, it wasn’t enough for me to hate her, no matter what he believed.
I knew he disapproved of our friendship, and that was why he said those things.
“I know what you’ve been doing lately,” my father remarked with a grin.
Penny stood beside him, as always, pretending she wasn’t paying attention.
If she was so important, why had she stayed with a married man for so long?
“I wanted to show you something,” my father said, scrolling through his phone.
“Was it that important that you had to call me this early in the morning?” I hissed, shaking my head in disbelief.
I had left the most comfortable place I’d ever slept, Madeline’s arms, just to come here and deal with him.
It was frustrating.
I wanted to stay there and start something new with her when she woke up.
We had made a deal, the three of us. And with that deal, I was planning to tell them that I wanted her, that I wanted her for myself.
I didn’t care if she had lost her virginity to someone else; it didn’t matter to me. I wanted her to be with me.
Then we would be exclusive. There would be no one else. That was the plan.
My father ruined it when he started blowing up my phone and sending me things. clips, pictures, videos.
There were images of Madeline in one of his offices. I didn’t understand what they meant. Then there was a short clip of her sneaking out of his office.
I knew right away my father was up to something. So I had to leave.
But I planned to go back, fix everything, and apologize for leaving like that by telling her I wanted to be exclusive, that I had always had feelings for her.
“Look at this,” my father said, snapping me out of my thoughts,
The world had become such a toxic place. The only peace I found was with Madeline.
But my father always knew how to ruin things for me.
The moment he played the video, my heart began pounding in my temples.
“What is this?” I asked, trying to grab the phone. My father pulled his hand back, laughing,
“There are copies of it, so don’t even think about deleting it from my phone. It’ll never be gone forever,” he said. “ Do you know your little Omega friend went into an Alpha’s office and tried to steal some files,” My father’s words sent chills through me.

“ I’m afraid the council might think she was stealing the files for the enemy,” Penny uttered. “That poor girl will face so much now. My heart aches for her p>
Penny spoke up for the first time, making me clench my jaw and glare at her.
“Nobody will talk about this video. I’m sure she had a reason for doing this,” I said, defending her, angry that my father had sent me the video and spoken about it so harshly.
They didn’t know, maybe she was searching for something. It’s not like Madeline had ever done anything like that.
She must have had a good reason.
I tried to stand up for her, but I noticed my father shaking his head.
“ Well, too late for that. You shouldn’t have kept hanging around her. If you had stopped, I might have even discarded the video,” my father muttered, pouting as if it were my fault.
His words still managed to shake me.
“ What are you suggesting?” I asked, my face tightening.
My father met my eyes, nodding slowly as if gathering his thoughts before murmuring, “Stay away from her p>
The next few minutes were chaotic. My father told me everything was ready against Madeline, that if I didn’t stay away from her, he would not only have her arrested but also pay the council to give her the harshest punishment. 1
I hadn’t even been declared an Alpha yet, and I was terrified for her. That day was the worst of my life.
I went through every emotion, even missing my mother, because if she had been alive, she would never have let my father take my happiness away.
But she wasn’t there. No one was. I was completely alone.
Warriors stood outside the mansion and outside my room, making sure I couldn’t leave, even if I wanted to.
Even if I decided I wouldn’t stay away from her, I still couldn’t escape.
Then the documents were brought to me.
“What is this?” I asked my father, glaring at him.
“Sign these papers if you don’t want her to go to jail,” my father said, throwing them onto my lap.
I grabbed the papers immediately and began to read them. I had to stay away from her for five years.
I had to marry the woman my father chose and live with her for five years and give him an heir, or at least try to.
But if after five years I couldn’t give him one, I’d be free to leave her and find another woman to give my father a grandson.
I was kept locked in the room, and my father took my phone. The first glass of water I had drunk when I entered had been drugged.
I slept most of the day and woke again to the same threats. I was scared for Madeline.
Then I remembered my best friends. Even though it hurt me to do this, I had to step back and let them protect her.
I knew one of them would, at least Baxter would.

Or maybe she would move on, find happiness elsewhere, and live a normal life instead of suffering with me, because my father was so vindictive and hated her with everything he had.
I tried to reach out to Kaylee to request her to not marry me, but nothing worked in my favor.
In the end, I sat across from my father, pen in hand, and signed away my freedom, my happiness, for Madeline’s
life.
