The Wongravee Mansion was unusually quiet that evening.
Rain tapped gently against the tall windows as the family gathered around the long dining table.
Expensive dishes filled the table, yet the atmosphere felt colder than the weather outside.
At the head of the table sat Wongravee, the chairman of Wongravee Automobiles.
His sharp eyes swept across his two sons.
“Tay.”
“Yes, Father.”
“The engagement ceremony with Prim Lily’s family will be held next month.”
The room fell silent.
Sky looked up from his plate and glanced at his older brother.
Tay’s hand tightened around his fork.
“I have something to tell you, Father.”
Wongravee raised an eyebrow.
“What is it?”
Taking a deep breath, Tay met his father’s gaze.
“I can’t marry Prim.”
The words echoed through the dining room.
Wongravee’s expression darkened.
“…Explain.”
“There is someone I love.”
Sky froze.
He had never heard his brother speak with such determination.
“I’ve loved him since university.”
Wongravee slammed his hand onto the table.
“I don’t care!”
“This marriage is important for our family’s reputation and our business.”
“It isn’t just business to me,” Tay replied calmly.
“I won’t spend the rest of my life with someone I don’t love.”
The chairman stood up, his voice filled with anger. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
“Who is this person?”
Tay remained silent for a few seconds.
Then he answered.
“His name is New.”
“He works as a designer now.”
“And…”
“…he’s an omega.”
The silence that followed felt suffocating.
Sky watched everything unfold without saying a word.
He knew his father well enough to understand what would come next.
“You dare embarrass this family?” Wongravee roared.
“I gave you everything!”
“I never asked for your money,” Tay replied quietly.
“I only want the freedom to choose the person I love.”
Without another word, Wongravee pointed toward the door.
“Get out.”
“If you walk away today…”
“…don’t call yourself my son again.”
Sky immediately stood.
“Father—”
“Stay out of this, Sky!”
The younger alpha clenched his fists.
He wanted to defend his brother.
But years of living under his father’s strict control rooted him to the floor.
Tay picked up his coat.
Before leaving, he walked over to Sky.
“It’s alright.”
Sky looked at him with worry.
“…Brother.”
Tay placed a hand on his shoulder.
“You don’t have to carry mine too.”
A gentle smile appeared on Tay’s face.
“Take care of yourself.”
Then he walked out into the rain.
The heavy wooden doors closed behind him.
Sky stood motionless.
For the first time, the mansion felt unbearably empty.
Across the city…
A modest apartment glowed warmly against the rainy night.
New Thitipoom was preparing dinner while his younger siblings sat at the small dining table.
“Nani,” New called with a smile.
“Can you help Ching Ching with her homework?”
“Of course.”
Nani sat beside his little sister, patiently explaining a math problem.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
New opened it.
Standing outside, soaked by the rain, was Tay.
For a heartbeat, neither of them spoke.
Then New stepped forward and gently cupped Tay’s face.
“You told him… didn’t you?”
Tay nodded silently.
Without another word, New wrapped him in a warm embrace.
“You don’t have to carry this alone anymore.”
Watching from the living room, Nani finally understood.
The mysterious person his brother had loved for years…
…was none other than Tay Wongravee.
Fate had quietly connected the Wongravee and Hirunkit families long before Sky and Nani ever met.
And neither family knew that this secret was only the beginning of a storm that would soon change all of their lives forever.
