Serena received evidence that proved her brother-in-law, Asher, killed her adoptive sister, Lariette, a year ago. When she received the evidence, Asher invited her to drink at a bar. However, they accidentally kissed when Serena was bullied by a woman who wanted to match her with Asher. When they kissed, Serena suddenly had the ability to see a piece of Lariette's memory. At first, Serena still couldn't believe that this miracle really happened to her just because she kissed her brother-in-law. Did Lariette give this special ability to her adoptive sister indirectly so that she could reveal the truth behind her death? At the same time, Asher was also demanded by his parents to marry a rich woman and have a child. Asher really objected to his parents' request, especially since his wife had just died a year ago. However, since kissing Serena, he had a crazy idea. He wanted to make Serena his wife so that his parents wouldn't bother him anymore. At first, Serena didn't want to accept the crazy offer. Moreover, marrying a murderer would make her life restless. However, as time went by, after thinking about it, marrying Asher actually brought her luck so she could see Lariette's memory just by kissing him. Finally Serena agreed to marry Asher, but it was not that easy to achieve her wish. The condition given by Asher was that they were not allowed to kiss each other or have sex even though her parents demanded that they have a child soon. This made Serena even crazier. How could she tempt Asher who was very cold and mysterious, to want to kiss her?

This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

[Female Alpha× Male omega] .................................................

And then, she spoke, her eyes obsessively wandering around his lips now, making Arthur feel like he might burn away from just the gaze of those eyes alone. "So, you agreed to marry me?" "Mm." "I want words, love." "Y-yeah." Arthur couldn't help but stutter out of nowhere. "That's more like it. Use that sweet voice of yours more, sweetheart. Understood?" "Y-yeah." He stuttered again. "And it should be louder in bed, got it love?" "Th-Hic!" Arthur suddenly hiccupped and covered his mouth hurriedly, secretly glancing at her but locking eyes accidently, making him feel even more miserable now. God he can't really blush any more than this. He was exhausted just being at her gaze already. Why was she so perfect and hot and sexy and breathtakingly beautiful and intimidating? 'God, this woman...' "You know what, my love? Blushing and looking at me like that...I don't know how I am holding back from just throwing you into a wall and fucking your brains out and making you a complete breathless mess." Her beath was heavy and Arthur knew. She meant it all. She was serious. And he was into it...very much. His eyes must have sparkled with the excitement as she then smirked, leaning close to him. And then she whispered. "You are going to be the death of me Arthur. I swear to god I am going to make you the happiest omega alive." * * * Note: Omegaverse Female Alpha × Male Omega And, yes, that alpha here has a cock. (If you are not a fan of this trope, then please don't move further. I already warned you, so don't complain later. Thank you.) (I don't own the cover art.)
