Chapter 158: Netizens Support Me
I was sad—deep sad, the kind that sat heavy in my chest like wet stone.
My life felt sad too, not just back then but right now, dragging me down. Why do I have to feel so sad? Can my life even improve? The male leads are after me, who I don’t want to get involved with... are after me. It’s because of Lily. If she hadn’t been an alpha, I would have been fine. Second-handed goods are bad.
Not at all necessary.
I sat on the living room couch, legs stretched out weak and wobbly still recovering from the paralysis—moving them slow side to side for exercise, tiny flexes that burned but did little to lift my mood.
Felix.
I hated Felix with every bit of me, that pathetic bastard who’d hurt me. No way did I want to marry him, contract or not.
"Emily, you worried about him still?" Hellen asked soft, settling beside me massive and warm, her honey-citrus scent wrapping gentle as she watched my legs tremble faint.
I nodded small, emerald eyes downcast, short bob curtaining my pout. "Yeah... worried sick. Don’t wanna be married to that jerk ever."
"You won’t be—promise that firm," she said steady, big hand rubbing my knee soothing circles over the muscle ache.
"But the contract... it’s got me trapped," I whispered, voice cracking tiny.
She pulled me close effortless into her lap side-sit, arms enveloping secure—my petite frame dwarfed safe against her chest. "Emily, don’t waste worry on him one second. We handle Felix full, okay? Let us carry it."
I sniffled, leaning into her warmth omega-purr starting faint. "Fine... won’t think on it anymore. Trust you all alphas."
"Good jitten—that’s my girl." Her rumble vibrated through me calming, lips brushing my temple feather-soft. "Now let’s eat—dinner’s ready hot, get some strength back in those legs."
She shifted me comfy in her hold, reaching for the tray on the coffee table loaded simple-homey—steaming bowl of creamy tomato basil soup swirled thick with herbs, golden grilled cheese sandwiches cut triangle-crisp edges oozing melty cheddar, side of sliced apples crisp-tart drizzled honey faint, tall glass iced tea lemon-wedge bobbing chill.
"Open up, little one—first bite mine to feed."
I blushed light but parted lips shy—Hellen scooped a spoon heaping tomato-rich soup, blowing gentle fuff-fuff cool before sliding past my teeth slow, broth bursting savory-warm on tongue with basil tang and hidden cream swirl.
"Mmm—so good," I mumbled around swallow, cheeks puffing happy.
"More?" She grinned tender, dipping again precise—next spoonful double-loaded with soft potato chunks bobbing, feeding steady as I hummed content, her free thumb wiping a stray drip from my chin doting.
Switched to grilled cheese—pinching a gooey corner crisp, tearing bite-sized warm stretchy-cheese pull, popping it in playful "ahh"—cheddar salt-melt flooding mouth perfect crunch-contrast, my moan soft embarrassing as she chuckled low.
"Greedy kitten loves it—apple next, okay? We have to balance it sweetly." Sliced a honey-drizzle wedge thin, holding it hovering tease before letting me nibble edges crisp crinch, juice spurting tart-fresh down chin which she lapped quick affectionate slurp.
Iced tea sip through straw next—her hand steadying glass tilt, lemon-zip cool quenching as I gulped eagerly, ice clinking pretty.
Bite after bite she fed devoted—soup spoon-clinks rhythmic, sandwich tears gooey-stretch, apple munches juicy-crisp—till bowl emptied shiny, plate cleared crumbs, glass drained ice-melt.
Full-warm belly humming, legs forgotten-ache, I nuzzled her neck grateful. "Thank you, Hellen... feels better already."

It was deep night now, moonlight spilling silver through the bedroom window as I sat propped against pillows on my bed, phone screen glowing harsh in the dark. ..My short bob tickled my neck idle as I scrolled comments—endless feed about the kidnapping scandal and that cursed contract, people sympathizing heavy since Viktor’s villain reveal hit headlines.
Some hated him raw, others pitied my ’trapped’ omega fate with Felix. Legs still weak, I hugged knees close, reading till eyes blurred.
