No matter how many times Pete looked at himself in the mirror he couldn't fathom that the reflection was his own. Dressed in the finest of silk and hair set to perfection. Even his body was adorned with jewels. A choker on his neck made of platinum and a cufflink of gold. These were a few of the gifts Vegas has arranged for him. Vegas was so happy when he discovered the pregnancy. Every day he was showered with trinkets and promises of a future.
Even the wooden cane given to him was plated with silver on the handle.
He turned his head the omega maid was standing while holding a plate with different watches on display.
"You can leave...."
"Khun....Mr. Macau wants you to choose one of them for today's event."
'Wants' It's not a suggestion it's a command. Macau was the other party who keep sending him things. Maybe trying to score brownie points for his brother.
Pete gripped his fist tightly.
"I don't want to wear any.."
Maid didn't even move an inch. Pete sighed. It's like Macau now knew Pete's weakness but he is not using it to harm him. He makes him do weird things. Like assigning a new maid or giving him way too much expensive stuff to wear.
"You can go now...." Pete told the maid sternly. Feeling very annoyed with the situation.
Pete stood again on the balcony. This was as far as he could go and enjoy fresh air in privacy.
Macau pushed the door open with a loud bang.
Pete looked back at Macau stunned.
"Why would you reject the things I send you..."
Macau internally thought. Pete obviously like expensive things. He accepted whatever Vegas has given him. Why would he reject what is given by me?
"I don't want them..." Pete hardened his resolve.
"You don't like them...?"
"No, I don't want your things.."
"Why? Maybe you don't want this because you don't know how valuable these things are."
"I just don't want them...these are not mine to have or wear..."
Clenching the watch tightly in his hand Macau looked back at Pete. Who stood barefoot on the balcony.
"I am saying this for your own good...Now you represent the minor family. You need to behave like the mistress of the house."
Pete felt like exploding in anger. Did he ask to be the so-called brand ambassador of the mafia house?
"....."
Looking at the frown on Pete's face. Cheeks turned red. Puffy eyes with a tint of red underneath.
Macau sighed. He walked up to Pete taking his hand in his own.
"Don't think too much... You can have everything here. Why does an omega like you need to hustle and work when you can just stay here and live lavishly?.... Be obedient and listen. If you are good you can have anything you want."
He placed the watch on his wrist.
Pete listened to his words while biting his inner cheek so as not to explode. Everything will end today. He is finally able to step out of the house today. He can't ruin the day and be locked inside. After all the planning he did.
Macau holds Pete's hand a bit longer. Measuring how thin they have turned.
"Now leave me alone...If you are satisfied now." Macau broke away from the trans state.
