Chapter 103: Trying To Stop Ivan

Barney immediately welcomed the guests. He said that it was a very important day because he was about to announce something that everyone should know about.

Of course, this was something related to Ivan and his company. Ivan climbed the stage and began to speak, like a good, innocent and hardworking man.

Meanwhile, Daren stood quite a distance away from the stage, looking at the Beta man with his hands clenched tightly into fists.

’Ivan... I don’t care if you just want back your father’s company that my father took by fraud. But... Using me and even hiring someone to kill me, I can’t forgive you... You’re just as bad as that person...’ he thought irritably while staring intently at his former best friend up there.

"We’d better leave now before anyone realizes where we are," said Axel who embraced his Omega to go with him.

At first Daren complied and walked away, even though he held a grudge against Ivan.

However, when he heard the sound of his father about to sign a statement that Ivan would become part of the Wyne family, Daren didn’t want to let that happen.

The man turned around and ran towards the stage to stop it. Axel was shocked and reflexively chased after him, he didn’t want Daren to do something reckless by getting on stage and stopping them without any preparation.

Luckily, before Daren got too far, Axel caught his arm and stopped him in his tracks.

"Are you out of your mind?! You want him to know you came to this party and then find out that you took your mom away?" Axel scolded Daren in a hushed voice.

"But I can’t let him win, Vic. He’ll be so powerful if he can get his hands on everything! He’s...".

"Enough, you come with me to home now and stop thinking about exposing his crimes here. You want to ruin your reputation too?"

He was silent when he heard it, what Axel said was true. However, him resentment at Ivan for betraying him was hard to control when he saw him.

They argued amidst the crowd of guests who were focused on Barney and Ivan on stage. Until finally one of the guests realized and recognized Daren’s face. Especially after the news of his disappearance in the media.

"You’re Daren, right? The son of Mr. Barney who disappeared, right?" a woman asked him.

Several of the guests turned their heads at the mention of Daren’s name. They saw the blond Omega right there in their midst.

Because of Daren’s appearance after his rumored disappearance, it became a crowd of its own. Several people immediately focused on him until his name kept being called until it was heard by Barney and Ivan.

"What, Daren is here?" asked Ivan, unable to believe what he had just heard.

Because the man should have died a long time ago. But how could the people who were there say his name for no apparent reason.

He looked around the room from the stage, looking for the figure of ’Daren’ who was said to be there. The man didn’t want the moment everyone was supposed to be talking about to turn into a nightmare. Especially after Daren was said to be back.

’Damn, if he reveals everything, my plans could fall apart. I’ve been putting everything together for years and I don’t want it to be ruined just because of one useless Omega!’ Ivan thought with annoyance.

"Heh, is that kid here? I thought he was dead and eaten by stray dogs," said Barney, which made Ivan turn to him. "You don’t need to care, he won’t be getting any inheritance from me anyway."

Knowing that, Ivan felt more relieved. Although he still couldn’t accept that Daren was still alive. Even though he himself witnessed that Axel killed the blond man.

Axel led Daren away from the party room after successfully avoiding the guests surrounding them. He grabbed Daren’s wrist and pushed him into one of the stalls in the bathroom.

"See? You’ve made such a ruckus, haven’t you thought about the consequences of your actions?" Axel asked with an annoyed face at his Omega.

"I just don’t want Ivan to win! I want him to fall for betraying me! Am I wrong for wanting that?" he asked the man in front of him.

He looked away, saying that it was very painful after all the years he had done things with Ivan and thought that he was very sincere with him, but everything was just a lie.

"I don’t care if something happens again, I just want him not to be able to get what he wants! I just want..."

Axel suddenly slapped Daren across the face although not very hard. He was wide-eyed in shock as the Alpha, his own lover, slapped his cheek just like that.

"Are you stupid? Don’t let your anger get the better of you. Think also about your safety being threatened. Do you think if something happens to you, you’re the only one who has to endure it? Don’t you think about the feelings of your mom, Mike and even me who would be very worried if something happened to you!" Axel snapped.

He didn’t really want to slap Daren, but he did it to wake the Omega up. He knew it was very rude to do to his own Omega, but Daren continued to be so consumed by his anger that the Alpha was forced to do it.

"You can stop him, but don’t be so rash without a plan."

He pulled Daren’s jaw closer to his and looked into Daren’s blue eyes with his brown ones. Axel then kissed his lips aggressively but slowly softened to make the atmosphere melt into so much warmth.

"Do you understand now? Don’t be selfish by thinking of revenge. Don’t get yourself trapped in an endless vicious circle. Think of the people around you too," he said firmly.

Slowly tears welled up in Daren’s eyes, he hugged Axel tightly and cried in his arms. He wrapped his arms around his body while rubbing his head.

"Hiks hiks... He was so mean to me. I trusted him so much, I did everything I could to keep him away and remain my friend. But... But he turned out to be..."

"I know, it must have been very painful," said Axel who instantly remembered a shadow of his past.

Where he was badly injured in his mission, betrayed by his old partner before he met Wilfred. He remembered the cold and sharp gaze of his former partner who left him dying and left him alone.

Axel tightened his embrace on Daren.

"It’s okay, I won’t let this happen to you again."
