RIVALRY

HIS SANCTUARY

Cullen arrived at his personal penthouse and was welcomed by his dogs, this is the place he usually comes whenever he wants to cool his head, he has a very fierce Cane Corso and a Bullmastiff. These dogs are both dangerous but they always become docile around Cullen.

"Jill and Roman, you guys should come later, I reek of the hospital, I want to freshen up and rest, I will play with you guys later" He called out to the two dogs and they had to go back to guarding the door.

Cullen was undressing when his phone started ringing

"You should really have something important to report to Marcus or I would be angry" He answered the call with a voice filled with irritation.

"Don It's really very important, One of the Omegas is pregnant and has suicidal thoughts, he slit his wrist with a broken vase" Marcus explained in one breath.

Cullen sighed and pulled on his hair

"Contact the team psychologist Marcus, We have issues like this often and therapy always works for them. So why did you call me Marcus, Is there another thing you aren't telling me now?" Cullen asked, his voice filled with frustration and impending anger.

"He requested your presence Don, he wants to see only you and has refused to meet anyone else" Marcus explained over the phone.

"I'm not in the perfect condition to see anyone at the moment, Just switch over to video call and put the Omega on the screen"

"Okay Don"

Marcus switched over to video call and a young man of about twenty-five years old appeared on the screen.

"Good morning Don Cullen, My name is Dennis and I'm currently twenty-three years old and your men must have told you about my condition, I don't want to be kept in some shelter I just want the Alpha bastard that did this to me to die" The young man said as tears started pouring down from his eyes. He was rescued weeks before the auction operation by Cullen's men from a brothel, his dad used him to settle his debts and sold him to a brothel where he met Alpha Adrian who took a liking to him and always requested for him whenever he came to visit the brothel.

Dennis fell in love with Adrian and would do everything that he was asked to do by Adrian but he just discovered that everything Adrian was doing were all fake because Adrian was the one that bought him from his father and kept him in the brothel so that his wife and kids would not discover the boy. He discovered that Adrian saw him as a toy with no value and only wanted to have fun with him and was even planning to impregnate him to sell the child. And now that he is pregnant he wants Adrian to die and not succeed.

"I have heard everything you said and I have started making plans about Adrian from the moment I heard that he is involved in the trafficking of Children." Cullen said to Dennis in a calm tone. Adrian's assassination was something that he wanted to do after the Auction rescue and now he will hasten up the plan now that someone has personally made the request.

"Thank you Don Cullen, you are the only Alpha in the whole of Xforza who cares about the wellbeing of us Omegas" Dennis thanked as tears started streaming down his eyes, He felt so relieved to hear what Cullen said, he might love Adrian but he is not willing to trade the life of his unborn child.

BRUCE WALTERS VILLA

Bruce is seen giving instructions to his Secretary when someone walked in to inform him that he had a visitor. He paused everything and dismissed his secretary. He wasn't expecting anyone but he really wanted to know the person that had the guts to come to his personal villa.

Alpha Adrian was ushered in by the villa's butler and shivered when he saw Bruce sitting down and sipping his drink.

"What is the purpose of today's surprise visit,Adrian?" Bruce asked in an annoyed tone, he was not really a fan of having visitors come to his private villa unannounced, but he was willing to listen to Adrian because they are business partners.

"Cullen Sinclair is about out for my head Don Bruce" Adrian answered looking down on the floor.

The mere mention of Cullen instantly piqued Bruce's attention, he immediately remembered the sweet s*x they had in the hotel and wasn't even listening to Adrian till Adrian called back his attention.

"What did you do to Cullen Sinclair?"

"Someone is framing me that I traffic children, you know I can never do that, you know how much I love kids and I can never do anything that will hurt kids" Adrian replied as sweats covered his face and back.

Bruce looked at Adrian and laughed loudly, the laugh made Adrian tremble in fear

"Do you really think you covered your tracks well Adrian, everyone knows that you are involved in child trafficking. Everyone in Xforza is not blind, you might deceive yourself with your fake love for children but it's an open secret that you are involved in p********a and you know my rule about children not used in adult fun but you didn't listen to me. If Cullen fails to end you I will personally do that. I advise you to run and hide because Cullen never misses his target, I will make sure to buy the largest bouquet of flowers at your funeral" Bruce said in a serious tone while looking down on Adrian. He always hates grown men that toy with kids and when he discovered that Adrian was one of the people that broke his best rules he was very angry and wanted to kill him but he is now glad that his Cullen is about to act again after many years. He smiled to himself before walking upstairs to his room.

Adrian slumped on the floor as tears started falling from his eyes. He really regrets everything but it was too late for regrets because he has done terrible things that could not be reversed even if he decides to turn back the hand of the clock. He came to Bruce to seek help but he was left disappointed. He vowed that even if he would die he won't do so without putting up a fight. He gritted his teeth and left the villa.

CULLEN'S PENTHOUSE

Cullen was seen having a bath in his bathtub, this is his personal sanctuary, he gets to be the Omega Cullen in his penthouse without any restraint because the penthouse holds the memory of his late mother. She bought the penthouse behind her husband's back and Cullen inherited it after her death, his dad didn't have access to the penthouse and that was why it was not sold.

"I really wish that everything goes according to plan, I can't afford to cover any misconduct from anyone" Cullen murmured as he closed his eyes, clearly enjoying his bath and not letting his mind wander further. He has built an empire from scratch and he has never encountered any failure from any mission and that's the reason why his subordinates trust him but his sudden heat cycle might bring issues for him in the future.
