The Omega For Sale

Even in the darkness of the room, I could still see every inch of the man that laid beside me. It was surreal, being back at the mansion and sharing a bed with the man that I loved once more.

I ran a finger across his cheeks and smiled when he shivered from my movements. It was so peaceful watching him sleep like this. He looked so young and innocent and it was difficult to not love him more in this moment.

True to his words, Greyson had been a complete sweetheart since I got here. Which wasn’t very difficult for the Alpha since sweetness was kind of his forte.

Everything felt different but it was still the same. That was conflicting, even for myself.

But some things changed upon my return. Like my position in the household. I was no longer a maid here and no matter what I said or did, Greyson had made it clear that it would remain that way.

As much as that changed, some things remained the same way, like Jessy and Greyson’s love for each other which only grew more and more beautiful each day as father and daughter bonded even more.

Hearing Jessy scream ‘Daddy’ across the mansion when I was trying to get her to behave never failed to warm my heart and melt my insides. I finally had a family. A very beautiful one at that and it was even more wonderful than I hoped for.

Our relationship wasn’t exactly defined or perfect yet but I was satisfied with where we were at the moment and I was prepared to take it easy this time. Not worry too much about a future that I knew I had absolutely no control over.

Clara’s words remained with me since I got back to the mansion and I couldn’t tell what it was with that woman but she brought me hope and some days I just felt like speaking to her more but I didn’t attempt to reach out to her.

She had a lot of work to do anyway, I didn’t want to bother her at all. But it just always felt like the woman knew more than she let on. It felt like she might have certain answers.

Another thing that had failed to change was my friendship with Christie. I had feared that coming back to the mansion, especially with the way that I left and the fact that everyone knew that Greyson was Jessy’s father, I feared that there might be certain changes to the way that the other maids perceived me and even acted towards me.

But that wasn’t the case. The maids all welcomed me back and I felt comfortable amongst all of them. It felt like I never left, they didn’t suddenly start treating me differently because I wasn’t a maid here anymore and I was grateful for that.

Well, the only maid that sort of changed was Zoe. It wasn’t a bad type of change, especially since the maid wasn’t the most receptive person in the world in the first place but there was just something that was different about her and I couldn’t quite place my finger on it.

Greyson groaned by my side and I returned my attention towards him. He sighed in his sleep and I wondered what he could be dreaming about. I didn’t have to wonder for long because in the next second he whispered my name.

I didn’t respond to him because I could still see his closed lids which meant he was still very much asleep. I smiled, dipping my head to place a kiss on his forehead before moving out of the bed.

For some reason, sleep had decided to desert me for the night so maybe I needed a glass of water to help me settle in once more.

As I moved, the sheets moved with me and exposed more of Greyson’s bare chest. I knew that he had his lower half covered but the view of his perfectly toned abs and chiseled body was enough to send a fire spreading all over my body.

It had been too long since we had tangled in the sheets and no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t deny the fact that I missed having the Alpha in that way so much.

There was nothing that was stopping us from having sex, but since I got back, we just haven’t been able to get through with it. I wasn’t sure how much longer it would continue but from the little pool that was currently forming in my panties, I knew that it had to be soon.

I sighed heavily before moving out of the door, pulling my robe closer on my body. I stopped at Jessy’s new room which was three doors away from ours and then I peeped inside.

The night light beside her bed, casted the room in a soft, warm glow and I smiled at all the bunny paintings on the wall that she had insisted on having all looked to be alive.

Greyson had painted the room himself and even till now, I still couldn’t get over how good he was when it came to drawings or paintings.

Jessy had shared the passion since she could hold a pencil, she always loved to draw and although she was still too young to be at any level of perfection, it was still pretty impressive her passion for the art and now it wasn’t hard to see why.

The said girl was sleeping like the princess she was, with her bunny in her grasp and a smile on her lips. It brought me so much joy to see my daughter this happy.

I pulled the door shut and walked down the grand stairs in the direction of the kitchen and but then I paused when I noticed that the light in the kitchen had been turned on.

My heart began racing in my chest. I couldn’t get it out of my head that Emilia was still on the loose and there were people who were trying to harm my baby and maybe myself.

Seeing the kitchen light turned on reminded me of the many occasions that I had found Emilia walking out of the kitchen at odd hours.

I walked carefully in the direction and when I peeped into the kitchen it was to find Zoe standing by the island with a glass of water in her hands and tears streaming down her face.

I didn’t know what the problem with the girl was but the way she was crying made me feel terrible. It made me want to do anything to make her feel better and so I walked into the kitchen completely.

“Are you okay?”

I didn’t think that I spoke that loud because I was sure to be careful of the tone of my voice since the entire house was so quiet, plus I didn’t want to startle the already distraught girl.

But the moment I spoke, she startled and the glass of water that had been in her hands was coming in contact with the floor, smashing the glass in the process.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t think I spoke so loud, I didn’t mean to startle you.” I offered, but Zoe was shaking her head already.

“No, no, it’s not your fault. It’s me who should be sorry. You didn’t speak loudly at all, I just wasn’t expecting anyone to be up at this time.” She said, moving to start picking up the pieces of glass from the ground.

“Stop Zoe.” I called out and she did as said.

I went through the other side of the island so I could be face to face with her, without having to go through glass and Zoe turned around to face me.

I stood as close to her as I could without being uncomfortable and the other girl looked away in what looked like shame.

“What’s the problem? Why are you crying? Why are you not sleeping?” I asked and the girl only shook her head.

“I couldn’t sleep so I came down for a glass of water.” She responded, still refusing to make eye contact with me.

“Zoe look at me.” I said and the head maid did as told. There was so much sadness in her eyes, it broke my heart.

“What’s the problem?” I asked again and this seemed to break her even more as she began full on sobbing again.

I wrapped my arms around her frame immediately and the other girl just cried into my shoulders.

“I’m so sorry Freya. I’ve been such a horrible person. I don’t know what came over me, please forgive me, please I beg you. I’m so sorry.” She said but I didn’t understand her words and I let her know that.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“I don’t understand Zoe. What are you sorry for? You didn’t do anything. I don’t think you have anything to be sorry for.” I said but she was shaking her head already.

“You’re wrong. I can’t tell you what it is but I’m sorry.” She said and for a moment my mind went to the night of Jessy’s birthday.

Was Zoe the one who poison Jessy? She spoke again before I could ask that question.

“I know what you’re thinking, but no, I didn’t poison Jessy. I could never do something like that. It’s hard to explain, I-I just thought you were gone and I don’t know what gave me the courage to do it but now I just feel like a horrible person. I feel like I betrayed my friend.”

My head was starting to ache from lack of understanding and maybe because of my lack of sleep but I wasn’t really in the best mood to try and decipher her words.

“Maybe you should go to bed Zoe. You must be tired, I’ll clear this up before getting a glass of water and heading to bed myself.” I said, pulling out of the hug.

“Thank you Freya. You’re a very nice person and you have a good heart. It’s one of the things I admire the most about you.” Zoe said, offering me a small smile before exiting the room.

Once she was gone I sighed heavily and moved towards the shattered glass on the floor to begin picking them up.

But then I paused in my tracks when I noticed something. I didn’t have the time to think about it because Greyson appeared in the doorway.

“Freya? What are you doing?” He asked and I looked up at him from my position on the floor.

“Hi! Umm Zoe was having a glass of water when I walked in and I kind of startled her so she dropped the glass on accident, but I offered to clean it.” I said and Greyson frowned.

“Well you shouldn’t be using your bare hands to clean that up you could wound yourself. Come on, sit here I’ll clean it myself.” He said, moving towards the supply room to no doubt bring some cleaning supplies.

I did as told and sat on the island, watching him sweep was more fun than I anticipated so I was pretty satisfied on my position.

“You shouldn’t have left the bed like that, I was worried.” He said, after some seconds of silence.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t sleep so I just came down for a glass of water.” I explained and he nodded his head.

“Next time, just wake me up. I’ll be able to help.”

I didn’t realize how much me running away would affect Greyson but every time that I wasn’t within his eye sight, I noticed how he got anxious. Whenever I had to leave the room, or do something else away from him then the Alpha just always got uncomfortable and it didn’t make me very happy that he thought I was going to run away again.

I had good reason to do it the first time but it didn’t mean I was going to do it again. But I understood him. If the situation had been turned around and I had been the one to be left with no knowledge of where he was for a while then I might be overprotective of him.

“Are you saying you missed me in bed?” I teased and when the Alpha smiled, it made me smile too.

“Yeah I’m not admitting that. You’re head is huge as it is. Let’s not worsen that.” He said.

“Come on, let’s go to bed.” Greyson held out a hand for me and I jumped down from the counter and took it.

“Wait. You said Zoe was drinking a glass of water right?” Greyson asked and I nodded my head.

“Why is there no spill of water on the floor?”

That was the question that had crossed my mind when I bent down to pick up the pieces of glass. There was glass everywhere but not a single drop of water could be found on the floor.
