Chapter 24: Breathe With Relief
A few days later, the Wyne family finally charged Noah Oliver for what he had done to Daren a few days earlier. Noah denied it at first, saying that they were just making up a story.
However, videos spread of Noah taking Daren into the hotel, and even a video of him in the hotel room. No one knows where the video was taken or who shared it, but it was strong evidence of Noah's actions.
"It must be an edit! I'm sure they're just trying to ruin my reputation," Noah told the media.
However, one by one, the victims finally had the courage to open their mouths and appear in the media because the first to sue was the Wyne Family. The family was wealthy and could fight Noah and his connections.
"I was one of his victims, he bit me and then a few days later took me to a place to do surgery on our bond!" She showed me the surgical scar on the nape of her back neck which she now covered with a plaster scent blocker.
A plaster to cover her scent or pheromones that had started to fall apart. Usually, scent blockers were used to cover pheromones so that they would not smell so strong.
Not only two or three Omegas, but more than eight Omegas gave their evidence and stories.
The fans who initially supported Noah, did not believe all the news and even thought the Wyne Family was paying them. Now they were starting to believe it and one by one they attacked Noah.
"And I heard that no one wants to sign a contract with him anymore. Movies, commercials and others have even terminated existing contracts because the fans don't like him anymore," Mike explained after the news broke.
"Social punishment, he won't be hired anywhere because he's a criminal. I'm sure he'll go to jail for a long time. But if he's out using his money, no one will accept him," Axel commented on the news.
Daren nodded in understanding when he heard all that. Moreover, he was the one who was considered a 'savior' because he had helped stop what Noah was doing so that no more victims would fall.
"But I still feel confused, where did the video of us fighting in the hotel room come from. That means there were cameras in there, right?" asked Daren.
The butler had no idea where the video had come from and who had spread it, but it was strong evidence to put the Omega predator in jail.
They had checked the room, but found no CCTV in there. It was possible that it was an extra camera that had been placed on purpose. A portable camera that could be placed in the corner of the room without being seen.
"Whoever he is, he really did me a favor." Daren drank the juice in his hand while breathing a sigh of relief that Noah had been arrested.
"But this is the first time I've seen Master take Mistress at her word to report this."
"Mom asked him to?" asked Daren in surprise.
Mike nodded his head, telling him that a few days ago Viona had walked into her husband's study and scolded him. There was an argument between them but Mike was sure that it was all at the request of their mistress.
"Mom used to keep quiet about everything that happened. Now she's assertive and starting to open her mouth to dad. What's wrong with her?" he asked with a grunt of annoyance.
All this time all the decisions kept being made by his father, even though Daren hated it, but his father kept insisting on his wishes. And his mother kept quiet without doing or saying anything other than asking Daren to obey.
'Daren... He must still be worried about what happened recently,' thought Mike who felt he couldn't help his employer much.
*****
After all that had happened, Daren finally got another offer to play a role in a short movie that was only four to five minutes long. Of course Daren was happy to get the offer.
He felt that it could be the beginning of him playing in a much longer movie later.
"So I got the role of an Omega cast member who was hurt. Hmn... So my Alpha boyfriend had an affair with another Omega. Then because I didn't accept that, I scolded him and a fight broke out between us. Okay, that's easy..."
Daren read the script in his hand and began to memorize all the text he would be acting out. He walked back and forth from left to right and then back again while acting out what was in the script.
Mike and Axel who were watching this exchanged glances at how their master was trying to memorize it.
"Young master, do you need help? I can play as the Alpha," Mike offered.
"Oh you want to? That's fine." Daren handed the script to Mike as the butler needed to see the content. "Are you ready?"
"Yes, I'm ready!"
Slowly Daren began his role by scolding Mike, he let out all sorts of emotions. Disappointment, sadness and betrayal. Daren even shed a few tears.
"You're so mean, why did you choose that Omega over me? I've always been there for you, supported your career so far and every time you were tired, sick and everything, I was there!" He tugged on the lapel of Mike's butler suit which made the ginger Alpha flinch in surprise.
"Tell me, why!"
"I-it's... It's because I... I..." Mike stuttered as he read it. He couldn't bear to look at Daren and his line sounded cruel.
Daren immediately wrinkled his forehead. "Hey, can you actually help me or not?" he asked while wiping away his tears.
"S-sorry, I was just nervous and couldn't bear to see you cry, young master. The male lead is so bad for betraying you!" he said.
Of course the young master sighed and massaged the bridge of his nose. He forgot that Mike is not the type of Alpha who can be assertive, especially when it comes to him.
He then told Mike to just get the smootie for him, he would continue on his own. The ginger-haired man nodded in agreement and went inside the mansion.
Leaving Daren with Axel. He glanced at his bodyguard, thinking that the man was much better suited for this role.
"Hey, help me do it. I know you're better suited!" he said as he handed over the script.
Axel took it and read the lines. "I don't care, it's all your own fault because you're a stupid Omega who can't do anything. You're weak and can only crawl under the feet of the Alphas," he said with a cold tone and a sharp gaze.
Slowly Daren was able to get back into his role and they practiced with each other. Until the scene where the Omega had to slap the Alpha. Daren, on a whim, didn't slap Axel's face to get into the role but kicked him in the crotch.
THUD!
When his foot hit the Alpha's manhood, Axel didn't react.
'Huh?! Why is he silent? That's strange. It should be--'
Axel suddenly grabbed Daren's hand and twisted it behind his body. Making Daren whimper in pain.
"Let go of me, what the hell are you doing?"
"You should think about what you just did." Axel approached Daren's ear from behind and whispered.
"One more time you do that, I'll make you choke on it."
