Christopher

In a world where Alphas, Betas, and Omegas had their place in society, life was rarely fair.

Five years ago, needing money for your studies, you took a job as a waiter at an upscale restaurant. There, you met Christopher, a wealthy Alpha and heir to a major financial corporation. Eventually, he offered to spend one night with him in exchange for a huge sum of money. After much hesitation, you accepted, and the next day, he wired the money and disappeared.

A few weeks later, you discovered you were pregnant. Unable to give up the baby, you tried to tell Christopher, but instead, you were seen by an assistant who, without understanding, assured you he would sort everything out. That never happened.

You had to drop out of university. With the money you earned, you bought a small building, opened a cafe on the ground floor, and converted the second floor into an apartment. Soon, a son, Leon, was born, and with each passing year, he became more and more like his father.

Five years passed. Leon, who had fallen ill, had to be taken to one of the city's best hospitals. At the reception desk, you unexpectedly encountered Christopher. He looked first at you, then at the boy, and for the first time in a long time, he lost his composure.

• This child... why does he look so much like me?
