Sebatas Istri Yang Dibeli

Seth Lacklord, the country's richest Omega. His beauty transcends a thousand deities, his smile can melt a ton of gold in an instant. He can buy your loyalty, he can buy your love, he can even buy your soul but... this richest omega only wanted one thing, his Alpha's love.

His friends only stayed for money, all these Alphas lining up only wants his beauty, stupid Alphas who only knew how to use their dick and not their hearts. His eyes were already set on that one specific Alpha who never, even for a second, tried to talk to him or look at him. The only Alpha who never chased him. 

"Good morning, Mr. Salvians!"

A man in a full white tuxedo was walking full of confidence and overbearing, behind him were five sets of tall and buff men all wearing black Americana. Mr. Salvians was the owner of the largest shopping mall in Scotland with three more branches in other countries.

The Alpha was considered the second richest person next to the omega. A pride being hit by a rank lower than him.

Ah! He's here... what should I do?

The only Alpha he approved of was treating him as an enemy, a rival in power, a hurdle he needed to surpass. How can he persuade him? How will that Alpha notice him and look at him without hatred in his eyes?

"Little Seth, are you done shopping?" his assistant asks. He was dazed after seeing his Alpha, zoning out while thinking of how great it would be if Mr. Salvians would...

"I need an Alpha who can love me at my worst..." he responds, too far from the question thrown at him.

"What?"

"No, I know I’m not impeccable... but I hope he sees my worth," he sighed while his eyes follow his Alpha.

"What the hell are you saying?!"

"Sigh… it's only him, nobody knew, that I put him first. Why am I in love with him?"

They were schoolmates in elementary and high school, and all those times, his eyes were set on him. Only for him. In his eyes, there was only Cade Salvians.

"And for him, my Alpha, I swear I'll do the worst. Am I crazy?" he asks while still looking at the fading shadow of Mr. Salvians.

"En. You are. There is a lot of Alpha lining up for you but you choose that one who isn't interested in you at all."

"Should I chase him?" he turned to look at his assistant who was clearly nauseous by what he was saying. Eagerness was shown on his face, seeming to say that whatever the assistant says he will go and chase him.

"Do you even know how to chase?" the Assistant asks half-mockingly.

"I'll just go run after him." Without wasting any moment, he runs after Mr. Salvians who was now entering the parking lot. 

"Mr. Salvians!" 

Seth was wearing a pink top with a white blazer partnered with white trousers and white shoes. If he stands side by side with Mr. Salvians, they will be confused as newlyweds or a couple wearing a couple's outfit. Sadly…

Mr. Salvians stopped on his track, with his back facing Seth, he answered, "What?" with a cold and flat tone, evident that the speaker doesn't want to waste his energy on the hearer. 

"I have a proposal for you." Inside, Seth was trembling. He was so nervous to talk to Mr. Salvians - his first love. They were in the same school before but he can never use that as an excuse to talk to him, a total regret of his youthful self. 

"Proposal?" he asks.

Damn it! He only speaks with one word. You stupid Alpha, you didn't know that I...

"En. Proposal. I work in the fashion industry; you have your mall. We can collaborate, all my designs will be exclusive to you."

Please! agree... Please! agree...Please! agree...

"Condition?" still not looking at Seth while speaking, giving a boastful aura.

"You will be my muse..." he smiled and slowly walk near Mr. Salvians bringing with him his elegance and confidence. "Everything else, you can decide."

Before he could reach him, Mr. Salvians walk to his car, "My secretary will contact you." he went inside and drove away. 

Seth was left dumbfounded. His eyes were blinking rapidly, frozen in his place, "Did... did he just leave me??!!!!" 

"Yes, obviously." said his assistant, adding salt to the wound.

"Damn it! Just because he's sexy, hot, and gorgeous doesn't mean he can do that." 

"You praised him again."

"I know!" he turned around with pouty lips and march to his car.

He returned to his house after sulking at what happened. Seth’s house was adorned with gold, black and white colors. He was living separately from his parents for almost fourteen years now so he didn't buy a big house. It has only three rooms, a kitchen as wide as a basketball court, and a double size living room with an Olympic-sized pool. Enough for one person to live alone. 

Outside his house was his studio where dresses and clothing were made. He deemed it practical to make his house and studio in one place so he can just laze around when he was not in the mood to draw or work. With him was his dog named Yff, a French bulldog who was tired of his daddy's bullying every day. 

It has been five days since he talked to Mr. Salvians yet he received no phone calls from the secretary or Mr. Salvians himself. He waited day and night, always anticipating that when the phone rang it will be from his Alpha's company.

"I guess, I'm not considered worthy to be his business partner." he sips his tea while standing at the floor-to-ceiling window. It was a long-time admiration, a long-time love maybe it's time to stop it. A heavy pain suddenly creeps into his heart. Just thinking of stopping makes him hurt this much. 

How much love does he have for Cade Salvians? His brain can’t even fathom. All he knew was he was crazy to love and only have eyes for that alpha. The alpha did not even spare him a glance when talking to him.

Kring... Kring... Kring...

An unregistered number was displayed on the phone and Seth didn't think much of it. "Hello?"

"Hello! Is this Mr. Lacklored of SeCa Fashion?" a female voice spoke on the other line.

"Yes, and who is on the line?"

"Good day Mr. Lacklored, I'm from S Company. Mr. Salvians would like to set an appointment to discuss your proposal, are you available on Monday?" the person on the other line enunciated each word professionally and unhurriedly.

"Yes. Tell him that I'll go to his office," he answered with a business-like tone but, in his voice, a hint of happiness can’t be hidden. 

"That's actually what I wanted to say next Mr. Lacklored..." the female secretary paused for a while then continued, "The President wants to visit your studio on Monday."

"Visit my studio?!" he was surprised by what he heard, that almighty Alpha wanted to visit his studio, "Okay."

I take back what I said about me stopping my love for that arrogant Alpha... Cade Salvians will come... I should clean my studio. 

Wait! I need to calm down... calm down Seth, calm down... 

I can't calm down... 

Even if it was work-related matters, he was still happily giggling that the man he loved will come to visit him. Is this heaven's way of telling him not to give up?

Whatever will happen from now on he will make sure not to regret a thing.

"I should probably buy new clothes."
