His Omega of Domination

"Congratulations!"

Ivan sat beside Jeremiah, continuously glancing over at him and his dejected expression. He looked away as he smiled at one of his father's colleagues.

"Thank you. It was after not having him this whole time that made me realize how much I need him. I feel horrible for having embarrassed my father the way I did. I hope this makes up for any troubles I've caused."

"I believe it has. Now the people see that rules apply to everyone, that there aren't those who don't apply or get special treatment. It looks quite honorable, because that means he stands by his word, to have everyone abide by the rules." The man nodded proudly.

Except despite Ivan saying what he knew others wanted to hear, he was mainly concerned about Jeremiah. The one who wasn't happy or even remotely excited.

He was just...quiet and hasn't broken one smile.

Jeremiah was disappointed in himself. He was disappointed that he let his instinct sway his actions.

Made him look easy...and he couldn't even fight against it. Before he could fight it so much better than that, but that time, it was impossible.

Now, in just a span of seeing Ivan again, he has already been roped and wrapped around his finger. Set to marry him once again when he hasn't forgiven him in any way.

If anything, this made him resent him more.

Because he felt like Ivan wouldn't and couldn't change.

"What about you?"

Ivan flinched when the man moved his attentions onto Jeremiah. He looked at him anxiously because he had no idea what Jeremiah would say. It was a gamble what would come out of his mouth.

"What about me?"

"How are you feeling about this exciting news, for the both of you? I heard that you two grew up together and that this one day was going to come."

"Did you now?" Jeremiah mumbles, Ivan looking forward as his face began to become hotter. "You don't need to congratulate us, we've been through the beginning stages of this debacle before. I doubt it should be any different than it was last time."

Ivan leaned back against his chair, holding himself back from any anger. He could see the confused expression on the man's face only for him to chuckle awkwardly.

"Okay, good luck to the both of you."

As he walked away, Ivan began to remember when they both were congratulated. When he shot down the congrats and brought up clubbing instead.

"You don't have to congratulate us. I just want to know what are the nearest fun things to do?"

He brought his hand onto his lap, beginning to pick the skin anxiously. This wasn't working well whatsoever.

This wasn't even a part of his plan. Not once did he even plan for them to get married under these kind of circumstances, but Tate made this happen.

He could tell that just in being beside him and the words 'you are getting married' keep getting shoved down their throats, the more it seemed to upset Jeremiah. His anger and resentment was more obvious than ever.

Except instead of being more angry, he was more resentful and that left him unable to act properly. He didn't know what to say or what to do.

Because he just felt like they were repeating history all over again.
