Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha Chapter 17: ILLUSION OF CHOICE

GARAM hated to admit this, but Song Sihyuk was seriously handso.

He couldn’t help but steal glances from the Alpha while eating his fried chicken.

Song Sihyuk, on the other hand, was busy arranging the necessary docunts that they needed to register their marriage.

Hyung looks good in glasses.

Yep, Song Sihyuk was wearing chic glasses that made him look like a proper businessman instead of a gangster this ti.

The duality of this man is insane.

"Do you like the view, Garam-ah?"

"Huh?"

Song Sihyuk lifted his head and gave Garam a teasing smile. "You like my face, don’t you?"

Ahem.

Garam avoided the Alpha’s eyes and focused on his fried chicken instead. "Betas have eyes, too, you know? We can appreciate good-looking people, whether they’re Alphas or Ogas."

"Suuure."

Tsk.

He knows I like his face!

"I heard what happened from Jung Han. So, your stepmother and stepbrother left the country after selling your house."

"Yes, Hyung. Minwoo Hyung probably didn’t want to face Lee Taeho’s wrath."

"You’re wrong, kid."

"Huh?"

"You can’t sell a house in just a few days," Song Sihyuk said. "So, I believe your stepmother has sold your house for quite so ti now— you just didn’t know."

Oh.

Oh.

It’s possible since my father entrusted his assets to my stepmother before he died...

Plus, Kang Byungho didn’t take their house as collateral.

"I can’t take the house that my childhood friends built for their only son."

That was what Kang Byungho said when Garam’s stepmother tried to use their house as collateral.

But those bastards still sold the house to soone else, and yet didn’t pay off their debts...

"Your stepbrother sold you to Lee Taeho because he needs a huge amount of money to start anew in a different country with his mother," Song Sihyuk said indifferently. "They abandoned you, Lim Garam— they left you to pay off their debts all by yourself."

All of a sudden, Garam couldn’t taste the fried chicken that he was enjoying just a few monts ago.

He was disappointed.

Angry.

However, he was also tired.

He didn’t know how to react anymore because his stepmother and stepbrother had already exhausted all his emotions.

I just want them... gone, out of my life.

Maybe this was for the best, then.

"Lim Garam, don’t cry. You’re gonna turn on."

Garam lifted his head and glared at Song Sihyuk. "I’m not crying, Hyung."

"You better not be," Song Sihyuk said, grinning. "I have no intention of consummating our marriage, after all."

"Huh? Why not?"

"Lim Garam, what’s with that reaction? If you want to hold you, then you can easily change my mind."

"I don’t an it that way, Hyung," Garam said, irritated that this hyung kept flirting every chance he got. "You’re a horny dog, so I figured you wouldn’t miss this opportunity to take my virginity. You made it clear that you wanted from the very first ti we t."

"You’re a virgin?"

"That’s your takeaway from everything I said, Hyung?"

"So, my bride is a virgin," Song Sihyuk said, grinning. "It doesn’t really matter to , but it surprisingly made happy hearing that I’d be your first."

Tsk.

So, he’s still planning to embrace .

Well, Garam had already prepared himself for that.

The mont he agreed to marry Song Sihyuk, he knew that sex would be included in their contract.

My body is the only thing I can offer him, after all.

"Garam-ah," Song Sihyuk called Garam’s na affectionately while removing his glasses. "I’ll give you a reward for making happy."

Garam almost scread ’no’ when Song Sihyuk removed his glasses.

Thankfully, he managed to stop himself.

But it was a sha that the Alpha took off his glasses when they looked so good on him.

"I’ll buy back your house by any ans," Song Sihyuk said. "As a bonus, I’ll also find your stepmother and stepbrother for you. Tell how you want to punish them, and I’ll do it worse."

Oh.

Garam suddenly felt refreshed.

Is this the taste of money and power?

After all, he knew that Song Sihyuk could deliver all his promises.

However, a part of him was hesitating.

Is it really okay for to accept everything this man is giving ?

"You should use to the fullest, Garam-ah," Song Sihyuk said, raising an eyebrow. "In exchange for this marriage and everything that cos with it, you agreed to join my little experint. It’s risky, and it will change your body forever. That’s not a small thing, kid. So, you should be squeezing to get every single drop of what I could offer you as my spouse."

Ah, that made sense.

Suddenly, Garam felt that he had the right to use Song Sihyuk for his revenge.

Revenge, huh?

It was sothing that he had always wanted to get, but had to give up because he was powerless.

But not anymore.

"Hyung, I don’t want to see my stepmother and stepbrother anymore."

"That’s la."

"I’m not yet done talking, am I?"

Song Sihyuk laughed when Garam snapped. "My bad. Go ahead. Finish what you’re saying."

"I don’t want to see them anymore, but I want you to make them suffer wherever they are," Garam said in an indifferent voice. He didn’t have the strength to be angry, after all. "Make them work hard labor to pay off their debts. Hyung said you’re going to clear off my debts, didn’t you? But it wasn’t mine to begin with. So, just remove my na as the debtor."

"Ah, I see. You want the debts to be under those bastards’ nas?"

"Yes— because it’s theirs in the first place."

"Consider it done," Song Sihyuk said casually. "I’ll find them and drag them back here. But don’t worry, you’ll never see them again. They’ll be too busy doing hard labor anyway."

Oh.

Song Sihyuk’s sinister smile sent a chill down Garam’s spine.

I’m glad Hyung isn’t my enemy.

And that reminded him...

"Hyung, I saw Lee Taeho’s mother’s viral video," Garam said awkwardly. "It’s hard for to believe that so random high school girls could beat her up when she has bodyguards with her."

"What are you trying to say, Garam-ah?"

"Were those ’high school girls’ your subordinates in disguise?"

"Do you have proof?"

"..."

"Lim Garam, you can’t accuse soone casually whether you have proof or not. The defamation law in our country is shitty, after all," Song Sihyuk said casually, and then he changed the topic. "Anyway, I bought your crappy entertainnt company."

"Already? But I just agreed to marry you..."

"Well, I have ways to make you say ’yes’ to in the three days I’ve given you as an ultimatum. So, I’ve already prepared all the necessary docunts for our marriage and deal. And I bought the company the day you did your cute PowerPoint presentation."

Wow.

Once again, Garam got chills when the realization hit him.

Illusion of choice.

Dammit.

Song Sihyuk made it look like he was giving Garam the freedom to choose whether to marry him or not.

But, in reality, the outco was already predetermined.

This hyung wouldn’t have taken ’no’ as an answer.

"Aren’t you glad, Garam-ah?" Song Sihyuk asked, smiling as if he could read Garam’s thought at the mont. "I didn’t have to use force just to make you marry ."

Ah.

Garam clenched his hands when another realization hit him.

My soon-to-be husband is a psycho.
