Heart's in love

Almost

Author's pov:

It was morning, a radiating heat from sun, overpowering the sky view with eye blinding rays, yet there was no shine, as a sculptor of shadows, Zee a master architect of illusion, a mind, a labyrinth of intricate calculations, was a fortress of intellect, impregnable to the casual observer, but in the arena of business, he was the winner of all business aspects and attributes made his way through his one of the largest conference he owned in his building.

The project, a behemoth of ambition and capital, was the crown jewel of the industry. A profitable project that countless titans were contending for. Yet, Zee saw it not as a prize to be won, but as a canvas upon which to paint his masterpiece of manipulation.

His approach was as meticulous as a surgeon's. Every interaction was a calculated step, a deliberate chess move. He studied his client, an industry titan, with the intensity of a hawk eyeing its prey, learning his fears, his desires, his vulnerabilities. Then, with the precision of a diamond cutter, Zee began to shape the narrative, striking deadly with jolt, too impactful for his enemy to even counter attack.

He painted a picture of himself as a visionary, a man who could see beyond the horizon, a titan-killer. But he did it subtly, with a deft touch. No grandstanding, no bravado. Just carefully placed words, insinuations, and half-truths. He made the client believe that Zee was not merely capable, but destined to lead the project to unprecedented heights.

He preyed on the client's insecurities, whispering doubts about the competition. He flattered the client's ego, suggesting that only a man of his caliber could appreciate Zee's genius. He offered glimpses of a future so dazzling, so intoxicating, that the client couldn't resist.

In the end, when the client handed Zee the project, it was not merely a business decision. It was an act of surrender, a desperate grasp at the extraordinary future Zee had promised. And as Zee stood victorious, a cold, predatory glint flickered in his eyes. The game had just begun.

Knock knock*

There was few knocks at door, l had no visitors to attend, so who might be knocking, a burglar? A thief? Yet, the apartment he stayed at, was under high security guarded area, so it wasn't possible, so the-- his slight consciousness was interrupted once again, this time with but harsher knocks, with prior alert, he quickly rose from his bed, slowly approaching his way towards door, he questioned,
'who' not within second his guard was off, hearing his best friend groan at him for not recognizing.

'jellyyy~~' nat whined, as a small pout formed on his face, his hair disheveled making it look like bird nest, eyes puffed, 'khotot(sorry) l was literally imaging yk' Nunew smiled, smiling at his own absurdity. As he pulled his friend towards him for a hug, he patted Nat's head, asking him about his headache after getting drunk to oblivious the night earlier.

As beta and omega, had their breakfast, Nunew said, something that was on his mind, surfacing him, making him question many scenarios about his mate, as nat listened carefully, he felt himself getting excited and anticipating for his dear friend. As they shared thoughts, Nunew was reminded it wasn't olden days, not a affectionated world, where two fated mates sacrifice for each other against world, and all the odds, rather the world wrapped in lust and greed, where the mates means no such great value than just a partner to fulfill desire of one, with disappointment engraved in Nhu's head, he was mad sure to how his mate was, before he shared his life together...

As the night, began to darken, the night started to shimmer with skyscape lights, city was fully dense with people around world, traffics jammed every corners, street bustling with different populations trying out and exploring the place, in the center there stood a vast expanse of building, tall and big, all the brand logos located, a perfect spot for business.

Underneath the mall, there was gym alongside on opposite there was cafe, where Nunew had made a visit to try out one of the famous deserts, at the international shopping centre, as he scrolled through his phone, after being done with ordering his preference and waiting for the food, there was loud noises slightly bussling outside the cafe, as he wandered his eyes around the cafe, once again being content with cozy and welcoming vibe of the cafe, he looked at other customers who didn't seem to bother about such weird noise.

After brief 10 minutes of wait, his order was finally served to him, he was awestruck at the food presentation and after getting a few shots of food infront of him, he quickly dived in to taste, he hummed and closed his eyes, as his mouth chewed on macarons, it was sweet texture of fresh ground berries, with it's softness, glazed with vanilla and butter scotch filling, it was already damn good, he couldn't wait to try on his others, his mix fruit flooda, mango parfait and chocolate- mint cookie mouse cake. To talk about food, it was topnotch from his very first bite to his last one, it was illustratingly wholesome. As he paid for his bills, he made sure to spare some good tips, and took a business card with him so he could ask for deliveries.

A smile played on his face, he stepped out off mouth watering coffee and bakes smelling place, his nostril caught a smell, a smell he knew who it belonged to, at the same time he didn't... As, the smell slowly begin to faint in atmosphere, he quickly followed the smell, wanting to know his mate, wanting to claim his mate, his alpha.

As the boy made his way out of the building, he was caught with a back profile of a guy, who was already inside a black limousine, just waiting for door to be closed, 'hey!' Nhu desperately rasped, cursing his whispered tone, as he pant in for air. Now, as he regained his breathe, he could only stare at the road, where his mate is long set off. It was so close, it was almost gut wrenching at the short distance, oh how he wished he didn't made extra take outs of desert, which made it impossible to meet his mate now... just how close he was from... meeting his mate..

With sigh, he called halted a cab and went off...
