The Honest Man Was Targeted by His Ex-Boyfriend’s Alpha Brother

“You could not get any money out of my brother, and now that you are in debt, you want cash? If you are going to be used by someone, why not me? Look at me. What do you think?”

After his ex-boyfriend became engaged, Chen Wang watched his mother’s illness worsen while his father racked up astronomical gambling debts. Consequently, he personally signed a sponsorship contract and sold himself to this cynical, playboy socialite.

In the eyes of outsiders, he was a greedy, money-grubbing villain, and Hua Yunlian viewed him the same way. Their relationship was strictly a transaction.

The Beta, who was once praised by everyone as having a limitless future, was now reduced to being his ex-boyfriend’s brother’s lover just for money. As a Beta, he even became pregnant with the man’s child. Chen Wang resigned himself to his fate, thinking perhaps this transaction could take a turn for the better. He hoped that perhaps Hua Yunlian felt a spark of true affection for him, or that with the arrival of the child, he could finally have a home.

However, when he arrived with the pregnancy test results to share the news, he overheard Hua Yunlian joking with friends at the door. “He is just my brother’s leftovers. Once I am bored, I will give him to you. He is just a Beta. He is a heartless stray dog who can never be marked anyway.”

Chen Wang had believed Hua Yunlian imprisoned and controlled him because of a sliver of love. It turned out it was only because he was cheap and entertaining enough to play with.

Chen Wang left forever with his mother’s ashes, never expecting that the Alpha who once despised and toyed with him would lose his mind. When the man finally caught him, he let out an uncontrollable roar. “I am telling you, you will never leave me! You will never escape!”

The Beta held a knife to his own throat and smiled with a sense of immense relief. “What if I die?”

The Antagonist’s Perspective

Hua Yunlian played his game too hard and lost. To the outside world, he was the powerful second young master of the Hua family, a rising star in the business world of Central City, and the perfect lover desired by every Omega.

No one knew that as a child, he was subjected to genetic experiments by his biological father. He was turned into a half-human, half-leopard monster and tossed into a failing slum zoo to die. Back then, a youth had picked up the delirious leopard cub and said gently, “I will take care of you.”

From that moment, Hua Yunlian vowed to keep that pampering and indulgence for a lifetime. However, when they met again, the Beta did not recognize him. The Beta was even involved with the brother he hated most.

He was determined to keep his Beta, no matter the method. He gave him money, gave him love, and gave him everything. Yet, Chen Wang’s eyes remained hollow as he murmured only for freedom. The wicked, violent young master experienced heartbreak for the first time.

“Do not go. Please do not go. Let us start over. There is no one else. Let us just start over.”

“I am not fun anymore.”

The Beta he once looked down upon only wanted to leave, and the Alpha could not even mark him. The superior man, who once claimed he would never love a lowly Beta, went mad. He humbled himself to the dust and begged over and over again.

“Please, love me. Brother, I beg you, please love me.”
