Chapter Text
"...and if you want him to abort, you'll need to pay me I would say about a million of Yuan..."
"No." Just one word, not a plea, not a beg. His tone was calm, but cutting into the sentence like a knife. Gao Tu raises his eyes from the table and looks straight into the face of a man who has been terrifying him his whole life.
"He doesn't know what..."
"No, there won't be any abortion" Gao Tu gets up from his chair. "I've let you gamble my money, letting the fear rule my life. I've let blackmail me, abuse me, hit me, because I've thought better me than Gao Qing, but no more. No my child" Gao Ming's face laces with fury, as Gao Tu's icy words slips into his mind. Sage fights with peppermint pheromones, but this time Gao Tu's disorder hasn't kicked in. His Omega goes straight into fight and protect mode, not being able to focus on anything but making Gao Ming disappear and no longer being a threat to the little life that was growing inside his womb.
"You ungrateful brat! You'll do exactly what I say or..." Gao Tu makes a step back, when his father lurches for him, his body landing into the solid mass of muscles that appears out of nowhere behind him.
Iris. Safe. Later.
"Or what? You'll hurt Gao Qing?" Gao Tu snaps back, still riding on fury ignited by his father's threat. "She is in the hospital under 24 hour supervision, you have no documents to prove that you are family, cause you'd need to let the whole city know that you are back. And trust me, there are some people, who would love to know that you are back"
"You whore! You Omegas know no family, no obligations, only how to spread your legs before every willing Alpha, you..." Gao Tu felt a move behind him, but before Shen Wenlang could do anything, Gao Tu caught a fork from a table, anticipating the attack and moved to block his father's hand as the older was trying to hit him with his fist. Gao Tu blinks, not sure how he was able to do it, but his "weapon" has to hit the mark, cause Gao Ming howled with pain, blood seeping from the open gash on his forearm.
But it wasn't over, not for Gao Tu. He was scared of his father his whole life. He's changed his documents, hides his subgender in a fear that he would be sold or hurt on his father's behalf, but his parental instinct - something that GaoMing lacks of - makes him fearless.
"If you ever try to contact me again, I will publish your face, every alias you've been using through the years, every number and address I know. Your face will be on papers, online, everywhere. You won't be able to hide. And this time I'm reporting this to the police as Omega's abuse, blackmail and attempting to force an abortion. It's a good thing that you chose the public place, father. I'm sure that these lovely people would be happy to report that" Gao Tu watched as a horror seeps on his father's face as he looks around and finds all the people, that were witnessing their fight looking at him, their phones in hands snapping pictures and as well as security's cameras in every corner of the cafe's room. Red faced and reeking of burnt peppermint, Gao Ming fled from the cafe like he was being chased by demons.
"You can let go of me, president Shen" Gao Tu stated without turning to face the Alpha, whose fingers were still clutched over Omega's shoulders. "And if you don't want to make the first page in tomorrow's newspapers, I would suggest that you let me leave quietly. I won't ever bother you again" rotten iris scent floods around, making Gao Tu gag. Now that the threat is gone, his body gets back to being sick with all the pheromones that Alpha was emanating. Exhausted, Gao Tu tried to free himself from Shen Wanlang's hold, but he only succeeded in getting closer.
"Won't bother me again? Are you mad? You are not going anywhere, Omega. Even if I need to mark you here, in front of everyone. You. Are. Staying. With. Me." Gao Tu blinks, before losing his balance as his knees go weak. The last thing he noticed, that he was being caught in strong arms and lifted up, then the darkness.
