Hold My Hand Before the Snow Falls

[This novel is free]

The Gu family, a rising power in business, and the Jiang family, an old and prestigious clan, formed an alliance through marriage. The whole city of Xingcheng was abuzz over the union of an outstanding Alpha and a high-genetic-match Omega.

No one expected that just a few years later, the media would report that the Omega, Jiang Xu, was promiscuous and had close ties with multiple Alphas. Even the mark on his body, they claimed, had not been left by his legal husband.

His husband, Gu Jianli, was famous for his excellence and kindness. He often helped the poor, and the public was soon rallying to his defense. When people heard that Jiang Xu had been confined and was no longer involved in the Jiang family's affairs, they applauded.

From then on, members of the Jiang family died or disappeared, and the Jiang Group fell into Gu Jianli's hands. The Gu Group rose to even greater heights, ushering in an era of monopoly.

*

Jiang Xu, his reputation in ruins, died that winter.

Then he opened his eyes again.

This time, his father and younger brother were both alive, the Jiang family still ruled the chip industry, and he had not been marked by anyone or married Gu Jianli.

He was still the dazzling Omega he had always been, but he would never again be the lovesick fool he once was. He would never sacrifice himself and his whole family for one person again.

Yet the Alpha who had marked him and then run off was now the one pursuing him.

When Jiang Xu ate, he brought him a bowl and chopsticks.

When Jiang Xu went out, he fussed over him.

When Jiang Xu sought revenge, he lent a hand and passed him the knife.

Jiang Xu couldn't help laughing. "What are you after, Guan Rui?"

"Obviously... you."

Guan Rui had always considered himself the most heartless Alpha in the world. He could kill his half-brother without batting an eye, but one person made him taste the pain of losing someone forever.

"You're still alive. I couldn't be happier."

A stress-relief writing exercise. A melodramatic story full of outrageous twists. There are too many potential land mines to list, so proceed at your own risk.

(Faux) sister-in-law romance. The love interest is set and won't change. Happy ending.
