The Unfortunate Omega and the Arrogant Alpha’s Forced Marriage (Completed)

When Yoichiro closed his eyes, a spreading warmth brought tears that coated his tired eyeballs. Feeling the strain in his eyes, he pressed his fingers against his temples, urging the tears to flow for some relief.

This was the top floor of the Ono Electric Industries headquarters, located near Tokyo Station. The minimalist office held only two desks and a rack of files. Behind the imposing desk, a large window provided a panoramic view of Tokyo Bay. But with the night’s darkness settled, the view was a dazzling array of lights from the clustered buildings, glittering like scattered jewels.

At this time of year, the twinkling holiday illuminations below made the comparison to jewels all the more apt.

However, Yoichiro paid no attention to the view. His eyes were far too weary to even consider it.

“You must be exhausted, President. Why don’t you call it an early night today?”

The voice of his secretary, who was older than his parents, came from nearby.

“No, I’m fine. It’s December, and everyone’s busy. It wouldn’t feel right for me to leave early while others are working hard,” Yoichiro replied firmly.

“What are you saying? You’ve been coming home late for an entire week now. Kusunoki must be worried about you.”

(Kusunoki? Who’s that?)

For a brief moment, Yoichiro’s face froze, and he glanced at his secretary. The man, whose hair had thinned significantly since they first met, maintained his usual unchanging smile.

(A relative, perhaps? The name sounds familiar, but I can’t place it.)

The honorific attached to the name suggested someone close to him. However, unable to recall, Yoichiro forced a faint smile, knowing it would suffice to keep the conversation moving.

“You’re newlyweds, after all. I imagine they must be feeling quite lonely with you being so busy.”

“Ah… yes, that’s probably true,” Yoichiro said, deepening his wry smile.

“If the president doesn’t lead by example and take heat leave, how can you encourage the employees to do so?”

“I’ve only just taken office. Now’s not the time for that. There’s too much to do to ensure we succeed in the year-end market battles.”

“Taking on marriage and becoming president within six months… it’s been quite the whirlwind,” the secretary said empathetically.

While the words were meant to console, they only added weight to the already heavy burden Yoichiro carried.

Ono Electric Industries was one of the top three home appliance companies in the industry. Founded by his grandfather and later managed by his father, Yoichiro had assumed the role of president in June. As the third-generation leader, he faced immense pressure to improve the company’s performance.

His father, who had stepped down as president, now observed from the sidelines as chairman, closely scrutinizing Yoichiro’s every move. Even the secretary, who had served since his father’s era, remained under the pretense of supporting Yoichiro. In reality, his primary role was to report back to the chairman.

This relentless scrutiny left Yoichiro with no room to let his guard down.

“I’ll take heat leave once the company is stable. Kusunoki understands that.”

Implying that there was mutual understanding, Yoichiro’s words prompted a knowing smile from his perceptive secretary.

“Of course, sir. My apologies for overstepping. Still, the chairman and your wife seem eager to hear news of a grandchild.”

“So it seems. I’ve been receiving messages about that… quite the nuisance.”

“It’s the only joy for the elderly, I suppose. I have grandchildren myself, and they’re so precious I can hardly describe it.”

“Is that so? Well, it’s still too soon for me. Right now, I need to focus on turning this fiscal year’s profits around.”

With the year-end rush leading into the fiscal year-end, there was no room for rest. The secretary surely understood this, but his persistence felt unusually insistent.

A chill ran through Yoichiro, and his previously exhausted mind suddenly snapped into sharp focus.

The primary expectation placed upon him after his marriage and appointment as president was to produce an heir.

A year ago, his father had made marriage a condition for promotion. As the company’s performance began to decline, Yoichiro voiced his criticisms. In response, his father, amused, said, “If you’re so determined to prove yourself, at least get married first.”

Yoichiro had no intention of watching the company his grandfather built turn into a sinking ship. He immediately began searching for a spouse.

Alpha women were quickly ruled out.

Pregnancy between Alphas was notoriously difficult, often requiring multiple IVF attempts to conceive. Moreover, Alphas often resisted introducing other bloodlines into their lineage.

Yoichiro also had a deep dislike for the assertive nature of Alpha women. They were intrusive, meddling in his work, and overly eager to assert their capabilities.

Just like his mother.

She had used her children as tools to fuel her own ego but had never cared for the family. Growing up in such an environment, Yoichiro had no interest in an Alpha spouse.

Beta women were also excluded.

The reason was simple: he resented the idea of being used to validate their success.

Betas, who made up the majority of the population, varied greatly in status. For many, marriage to an Alpha was a coveted symbol of prestige. Choosing a Beta simply to oust his father from power felt too risky.

This marriage wasn’t meant to last.
Once Yoichiro proved his capabilities and removed his father from the chairman’s seat, he planned to divorce.

Ultimately, he chose Kusunoki, the second son of Kikuchi Manufacturing, a subcontractor for Ono Electric Industries.

Kusunoki was a rare male Omega.

Yoichiro believed that a male Omega would cause fewer complications. When he approached Kikuchi’s CEO, the man handed over his son without hesitation, clearly hoping to strengthen ties with the Ono family.

Yoichiro didn’t care about their motives. Kusunoki was the ideal choice—aside from one glaring issue.

Yoichiro despised Omegas.

In truth, he loathed even speaking to or seeing them.

(How can anyone expect me to trust creatures who would spread their legs for anyone?)

Omegas, driven by their biology, would willingly open themselves to Alphas, the so-called “ultimate beings.” Yoichiro detested them for it and had even once wished for their eradication.

Marrying an Omega was purely a strategic decision.

(They’re probably out gallivanting right now. Even if I don’t go home, it won’t matter to them.)

If Yoichiro ignored Kusunoki, he assumed his spouse would simply find someone else to provide comfort. Choosing someone from a business affiliate minimized the effort required.

He hid his disdain to avoid arousing his father’s suspicions. If his father caught wind of his plans, he would likely use his absolute authority to crush them.

That was the kind of man his father was.

Though his father had married for love, he was betrayed and cheated on during his relentless pursuit of work, which led to divorce.

For Yoichiro’s plans to work, his spouse had to be an Omega. No matter how much he despised them, their biology ensured that they would fulfill their role in his strategy.
