Khael's POV
I got to work earlier than usual, so I decided to do a double shift. I won't be able to stay relaxed or calm at home. I need to get Rowan away from that man.
"Wow, you are early today". Hailey, the other girl that we worked together asked.
I ignored her question, I do not have what to say to her.
"Why do you look so sad?
Your rich Alpha didn't come again?" She taunted.
"Can you shut the fuck up?" I yelled losing it.
She flinched back, not expecting me to yell like that.
I looked away from her, I look bad and feel worse, all I want now is how to get more money. No Alpha or anything is my priority.
She left me alone after that and I was able to think in peace.
When it was getting very late into the night, we had a larger crowd tonight than usual and it was getting difficult keeping the drunk Alphas in place.
"Hey, you look so pretty and smell nice. Wanna spend a night with me?" An Alpha whispered while leaning close to me as I gave them their drinks.
His breath was mixed with the smell of whiskey and other stuff, that it stank so bad and the urge to grimace was high but I remained unmoved by his advances.
"You don't want to talk? I have money. How much do you charge to spend a night with me?" He asked again and my fist clenched.
I finally met his gaze, he was smiling but looked very unappealing with his fat cheeks and greasy lips.
Money, of course I needed money but I slowly moved away from him.
Disgusted by the idea of doing anything with him.
The Alpha crossed my mind again. He had been willing to give me so much money, but where was he?
The rest of the time till I finished with my shift passed in a blur, I haven't eaten at all throughout the day. My body ached in different places, and a blinding headache that seemed to have intensified also added to my problem.
The thought of returning to that torn down apartment made me sad and restless.
No one was waiting in there, there was no reason to go back home.
"Hello there". A voice called suddenly, I paused and turned slowly to the direction of the voice.
At the same spot Han had always parked his car, he was standing with one hand in his pocket. Hair neatly brushed to the back and a neat tie at the junction of his neck. He looked proper like he was coming from an office, a great difference from this place.
Rundown, loud, lousy and full of immoral things.
"Can you spare me a minute?" He asked, a smile on his face.
I turned away and walked towards the road. Who the hell is he? What does he want with me?
I heard him walk closer, his footsteps audible but I pretended not to hear.
"I am Zach, I work for The Edge Modelling agency. Can you spare me a minute to explain something to you?" He said and I frowned slightly.
What the fuck do I want to do with a modelling agency?
I looked at him with disinterest but the smile on his face didn't diminish which wasn't unusual from a lewd Alpha but he doesn't look like one.
"I want to offer you a job out of this place, the pay is really good too". He continued eagerly and brought out a card
"Do I look like I want to work as a model? I need money. Not this!". I almost yelled, but I replied calmly.
"Yes, I know. Just tell me how much you need". He replied, persistent. I frowned at his words and finally turned towards him.
If I can do something different for once and get money, why not?
"Where is your company?" I asked and slowly took the card from him.
That made him smile widely.
"It's several hours of drive away from here". He said, gesturing to the rundown city atmosphere.
As one of the poorest cities in the country, it's the only place I can afford to live in for now.
"I need to get my brother away from someone and I need money". I said suddenly. The desperation I have spent the whole suppressing all came rushing back.
I cannot imagine how scared he would have been since yesterday with that monster that we call father.
When someone that was supposed to protect you turned around and did the exact opposite, the effect and damage is always too deep and that's why at nineteen I was willing to do anything it takes to prevent him from experiencing the harsh side of life.
I had plunged myself deep into this life and tried my best to provide for him.
All the three adults he knows shouldn't fail him. I have to live differently from my father.
"I can arrange that, I think we need to talk better. How about tomorrow morning, let's meet somewhere for breakfast and we could talk better". He said and for a weird reason that I cannot state, I trusted his words. For the first time ever, I am meeting someone that I am not sceptical about.
"Okay" I replied and nodded to his suggestions. He can help me get my brother back, I might look naive for believing him but I'm left with no other choices than to believe him.
"Let me drop you at your destination". He offered and I accepted.
"What brought you all the way to a place like this to hire someone to work for you?" I asked when he started his car.
He mustn't have been expecting my question because he paused briefly before responding.
"Our agency only uses Omegas, and with lesser unique faces over thereI had to travel far. And I do not regret it. You look exceptional". He explained with a wide smile.
In just a few minutes of meeting him, I was about to change my life forever even if I didn't notice at this point.
The goddess has a way of messing one up that all reasonings would fail no matter how strong they are and still send solutions.That is diabolical.
