CHAPTER 27: THE INSANE OFFER!

Elias ran to his room and shut the door behind him. He leaned against the door with his hand over his tight pants. It sure was very light as he remembered Viktor’s words about him wearing it on purpose to seduce him.

Even if Viktor wasn’t here with him, thinking about him alone made his cock twitch and he covered his reddened face as he slid down and sat on the floor.

"God! I’m a pervert! How can I be feeling this way towards a man who doesn’t love men? Wait! If he doesn’t do men, then why is he always..." Elias furrowed his brows and when his knuckles ached, he remembered he had punched Viktor.

He grabbed his hair and pulled it.

’I guess I should start packing in case I’m given a sack letter tomorrow. But before that... I have to change out of this...’

.

.

The next morning, the twins woke up to find their father lying beside them on the massive bed, his arm draped over the blankets. Elias was nowhere in sight.

Dante yawned, rubbing his eyes, and nudged Dario.

"Wake up! Dad’s here," he whispered, grinning. "Where’s Nanny?"

Dario sat up, looking around.

"Dunno. Maybe he’s getting breakfast?"

Viktor stirred, his eyes opening slowly. He sat up, stretching, a faint bruise on his left cheek catching the twins’ attention.

"Morning, you two," he said, his voice rough from sleep.

"Dad!" Dante said, scooting closer. "You slept with us! That was so cool!"

"Yeah," Dario added, grinning. "Your bed’s awesome. Can we sleep here again?"

Viktor chuckled, ruffling their hair. "Maybe. If you behave." His hand brushed his cheek, and he winced slightly.

Dario’s eyes widened.

"Whoa, Dad, what happened to your face? It’s all red and swollen!"

"My face?" Viktor grinned, touching the bruise. "It’s fine. I only got punched by a fierce little weak cat," he said, his voice teasing.

Dante tilted his head. "A cat? Did it hurt?"

"Nah," Viktor said, leaning back. "It’s nothing. Now, get up. It’s Saturday, and you’ve got body care today. You have a lot on your list... massages, haircuts, all that stuff for the engagement party."

Dario pouted.

"Do we have to? I hate getting my hair cut."

"You’re going," Viktor said, his tone firm but warm. "And I’m joining you since I got nothing else to do today."

Dante’s eyes lit up. "Really? You’re coming with us?"

Viktor nodded, checking his phone. "Yeah. I did clear my schedule for the engagement prep."

"What about Nanny? Can he come?" Dario asked, bouncing on the bed. "It’d be fun!"

Viktor’s smirk returned, his mind flashing to the bathroom, Elias’s flushed face, his trembling hands.

"Why don’t you ask him first," he said, his voice low. "See if he’s up for it."

The twins nodded, scrambling off the bed and running out in their matching pyjamas, shouting for Elias. Viktor leaned back, biting his lip, his hand lifting to his nose. He sniffed his fingers, the ones that had touched Elias last night, and muttered,

"It’s sweeter than I thought. Too sweet for a beta. Is Elias perhaps..."

.

In the laundry room, Elias was folding clothes, his hands moving fast to keep his mind off last night. The memory of Viktor’s touch... his lips, his voice, his hand that grabbed him... made his cheeks burn. He shoved the wet pants into the washing machine when he heard the twins’ footsteps. "Nanny!" Dante shouted, bursting in with Dario.

Elias slammed the machine shut, forcing a smile. "Hey, you two. What’s up? Did you sleep well?"

"We slept well! Come to body care day!" Dario said, tugging at Elias’s sleeve. "It’s massages and haircuts and stuff like daddy said!"

Elias scratched the back of his head, his heart racing. The marks Viktor had left on his skin were faint but still there, flashed in his mind.

"Uh, what’s body care day?" he asked, stalling.

Dante grinned. "It’s fun! Those females wearing white dresses and masks rub your back, cut your hair, and do your nails. Even Dad’s coming with us!"

Elias’s stomach dropped.

’Viktor’s going? That was the last thing he needed and a lot more reason why he can’t attend,’

"I... I’ve got assignments," he said, biting his lip. "I’m so sorry, guys."

The twins pouted, their shoulders slumping.

"Aw, come on!" Dante said. "But it’s gonna be awesome with you with us!"

"Yeah," Dario added. "You never hang out with us again because of school!"

Elias’s chest ached, guilt hitting him hard.

"I’ll hang out with you two soon, promise," he said, grabbing the laundry basket. "I’m just... busy today."

The twins sighed, turning to each other as Elias hurried out.

"What’s up with Nanny?" Dante whispered. "He’s acting weird."

"Yeah," Dario said, frowning. "What happened last night? We fell asleep because Dad’s bed was so comfy."

Dante’s eyes lit up.

"Maybe something happened with Dad! We should sneak into his room again. That bed’s the best."

"Totally," Dario said, grinning. "And we’ll figure out what’s going on with Nanny."

.

Elias avoided body care day, staying in his room while the rest of the mansion buzzed with activity. He could hear laughter and chatter from down the hall; the twins were probably giggling through their massages, Gerald overseeing everything, while Milo cracked jokes. But Elias couldn’t face Viktor... not after last night. He sat at his desk, staring at his phone, his mind on his escape plan.

’Two days left,’ he thought. ’Then I get my pay, grab Lila, and leave. Even if Viktor finds out that I’m an Omega and decides to find me to kill, I would have left,’

But leaving meant starting over, and money would be tight. He remembered Milo mentioning a matching app where one could get quick cash for... certain services. The idea scared him; he’d never done anything like that. But curiosity got the better of him. He downloaded the app, his thumb aching as he scrolled through the terms.

’Oh! You can decide not to put your real names and also wear masks or turn off the lights for privacy. That’s good!’

He relaxed slightly, signing up with a fake name... "SpicyBite"... and a profile picture of a steaming plate of pasta.

He hesitated at the gender options: alpha, beta, omega. His finger hovered over "beta," but he chose "omega" instead, then selected "dominant omega" for rarity.

’No one will know it’s me anyway,’ he thought. He filled out the description: Looking for someone wealthy with long hands, broad shoulders, strong... His mind flashed to Viktor, and he dropped his phone, his face burning.

"Why him?" he muttered, rubbing his eyes. "Fuck!"

He immediately picked up the phone and completed his registration. He stared at his new profile and sighed.

"Since I’m new, it could take days or weeks for me to find someone, right?" He asked himself but he had no answer. He couldn’t ask Milo either since he wanted to hide his identity.

He left the phone on the table and walked to his bed to start packing his washed clothes. He shoved them into his bag, instead of the wardrobe. All of his things were ready just in case he was ready to run away.

He needed to find a place to run to but he was worried about his sister.

’If Lila is still in a critical condition, it would be difficult for me to move with her. Do I ask Jace for help?’ he thought to himself and got distracted when his phone dinged.

He turned to look at it on the table and walked towards it. He picked up the phone and froze when he saw the notification. Five of them... Five alphas wanting to match.

His jaw dropped, his heart racing.

’Already?’ He opened the app, scrolling through the messages and profiles.

Some of them had fake pictures on their profile, while some had pictures of their dicks like they were trying to show them off. He saw their messages...

~Hello there, spicy bites. Are you really a dominant Omega? Come on! Let’s match.

~New to this app, Spicy bites. It’s super rare to find a dominant Omega. I have enough money for three nights and a huge cock. I’ll make you scream my name.

Elias paused and checked his name. His brow furrowed.

"Uh... No, thank you. I’m not sure I’d like to scream your name... Cucumber king,"

He went to the other three messages.

~ Pick the time and date, Spicy bites. I’m always available

~ Two thousand per night. Let’s go for three nights.

Elias gawked when he saw two thousand. He wasn’t sure he could last for thirty minutes since he hadn’t had anything called sex before. He wanted to ignore the last message since it was going to be similar to the other four but out of curiosity, he clicked on it.

~Good day, spicy bites. Seems like heaven’s on my side to bring you my way. I’ll tell you who I am, but you’d have to agree with my terms. The pay is more than enough... A million dollars... all I want is for you to concieve my heir. I’ll wait till you’re ready.

Elias couldn’t react to the message. His heart just thumped harder in his chest as he read the message over and over again. One million dollars? That was a hundred times his current pay.

’With that, I can be able to take Lila to a better hospital, complete her treatment and save the rest for her school and clothes. I can’t make Lila suffer but... conceiving an heir? Heir? That means, this person isn’t ordinary. How did I get myself into this?’
