Sarah Campbell didn't consider any alternative when she made her housing offer to Aster. She never imagined that the young Omega could reject her proposal without hesitation.
Her feelings couldn't believe that Aster was sincere. Sarah always believed that she could judge something or someone within minutes. How could he be so skilled? No one is entirely good, and those who pretend to be are liars and sick. She's sure that, getting to know him up close, he won't be able to maintain his false appearances.
It's evident that Aster doesn't possess only love and good feelings. Sarah is determined to get close to him, to see how far this act goes, and she won't allow him to push her away!
She even asked private questions and conducted research on Aster, questioning how he could be so perfect in the eyes of dreamers: "Omega, orphan, talented, beautiful, sensitive, starting a love story with a Multibillionaire Alpha. She is determined to investigate thoroughly."
The Next day...
Is it official? Does he have a boyfriend? ''He was no longer sure if it was a supposed boyfriend or a real boyfriend.''
At the Gallery, Aster was giving a nearly detailed report, "omitting some intimate facts" about the dinner with the Campbell's family. Damián was attentively listening.
Aster looked at Damian with a serious expression. "And you? What do you think about all of this?"
Damián then asked playfully in his voice:
"How can you use me as an excuse to reject Sarah Campbell's invitation?"
Damián responded, visibly surprised: "Why didn't Callum's mother offer you money? Offering money is not a classic? It would be something like: 'How much do you want? Or I'll give you a few million to disappear and never come back!"
"But your mother-in-law wants to educate or train you. She wants you around. I can't deny that, in a way, I liked your boldness. It's like she's saying: 'I don't like you, and I'm going to end you without spending a dime for it."
Aster, did you know that for some writers, one of the rules of romantic movies is that the first encounters are always harsh? *
Damián chuckled lightly, recognizing the sarcasm in the situation.
Aster: "It's all so surreal. I feel like I'm living in one of those family dramas, full of intrigues and power games". You... Can you feel it? Anything is possible? (Though sometimes I feel like it's an end to a means).
Damián: "Now... forget all that, let's get to work"!
At the gallery, the air was filled with anticipation as the team worked tirelessly to set up the virtual exhibition of Finley McDermott, the renowned artist whose masterpieces were known to evoke emotions and captivate souls. The chosen dancer was a young omega named Alex.
However, the scene Alex had to film would not be in the luxurious and modern space of the gallery, but rather in a dark and decadent setting, representing the inner conflict and despair of a person. The door he opened contrasted sharply with the interior scene, being beautiful and inviting, while the gloomy atmosphere inside the apartment reflected the emotional weight that this recording represented.
Alex stepped into the space, and a feeling of sadness overwhelmed him. The air was heavy and dusty, with strong signs of mold on the walls. The furniture was old and worn, the walls were peeling and stained. The only light came from a small, dirty window, creating a gloomy and claustrophobic atmosphere.
Disappointed, he sighed and began to unpack his bags, feeling the weight of the emotions he was supposed to express in his dance. Each step he took represented the sadness and desperation of someone who felt trapped within their own self, struggling against their inner demons.
He put his clothes in the wardrobe and, as, he looked at the paintings on the walls. He started a deeply emotional and coordinated interpretation. His dance movements were full of emotion, expressing the pain and agony of the soul imprisoned within that dark place.
As Alex danced, he could feel the energy of the paintings flowing through him, connecting with the essence of the artist, but at the same time, he conveyed the anguish and sorrow of the setting he was in. It was a touching and powerful dance, capable of touching the souls of the audience.
The camera captured every step, every movement, and every emotion, transmitting the intensity of the performance to the future viewers of the virtual exhibition. Every detail mattered as it was an emotional journey that Alex was portraying through his dance.
As the recording progressed, the team gathered in respectful silence, recognizing the depth and authenticity of Alex's performance. He was diving into the emotions, but he was also revealing his own inner turmoil and conflicts through dance.
At the end of the recording, Alex stopped, breathless and emotional. Damián and Emeline approached him, their eyes shining with admiration. "You managed to convey all the pain and beauty of Finley's work. It was a truly breathtaking and touching interpretation."
After the intense recording, the team prepared to start the photo shoot. Damián was talking to the producer, Lin Wei, to ensure that everything was ready for the presentation of Finley McDermontt's works. Alex would also participate in the photo shoot, adding his unique expressiveness to the images.
The whole team was in sync and working hard to make the photo shoot as impactful as the recording. The deadline and the development of the work were going well, but some bad news arrived: one of the photographers had not shown up.
This absence caused concern, as they did not want to blow the production deadline. Damián and Aster, as active members of the production team, knew they needed to find a quick solution.
United, decided to take on some of the responsibility for the photography so that the shoot could continue without interruption. With determination, they took their positions alongside the other photographers and worked tirelessly to capture the essence of Finley McDermontt's works in every image.
While Damián was actively conversing with Lin Wei, the atmosphere was filled with energy and anticipation. Suddenly, a magnetic aura took over the space as an elegant and imposing figure entered the scene.
Adam Kadman was dressed in an impeccable suit that accentuated his striking presence. The suit was dark-colored, with a perfect cut, fitting his athletic body flawlessly. The refined details of the outfit, such as golden buttons and impeccable stitching, exuded sophistication and power.
As Adam walked, people around him instantly recognized him, and a wave of murmurs and admiring glances spread throughout the venue. After all, Adam Kadman's presence was always synonymous with importance and grandeur.
Automatically, people around him made way, giving him space to move freely. The air was charged with respect and reverence, as everyone knew the influence and relevance that Adam possessed in that world.
As he approached Damián, some people observed with expressions of surprise and enchantment, admiring the scene of Adam Kadman's triumphant arrival at the simple recording and photo session. It was as if the world bowed before his presence, recognizing him as a prominent figure.
While Damián continued talking with Lin Wei, without realizing, Adam silently approached from behind and embraced Damian, planting a gentle kiss on his neck, eliciting a subtle reaction of surprise.
Damián stepped back a few feet with Adam, visibly annoyed by Adam's intrusion into his work. He moved away a bit and, with a touch of sarcasm, asked, "What are you doing here? I'm working! And you should be working too, don't forget, Adam, the first place."
Adam, with his natural and inherent arrogance, replied without holding back his pride, "I am already number one..."
Damián arched his eyebrows with a touch of theatrical admiration. "Wow, really?" he questioned, leaving a slight tone of irony in the air.
"Yes, number one!" Adam asserted, reaffirming his position with inherent self-confidence.
"Damn..." Damián exclaimed.
"What?" Adam asked suspiciously.
"I... I'm not cursing you, but it's surprising!" Damián said, shaking his head.
Adam furrowed his brow. "What are you saying? Don't you read the news about me?"
Damián masked his false intentions, assuming an expression of admiration and sweetness. He tiptoed and brought his hands to Adam's face, pinched his cheeks, and said, "You're so good, it's making me blush!" But he couldn't hold back living that moment and burst into genuine laughter.
Damian's laughter infected Adam, who realized the ridiculousness of asking his omega about reading the news. He smiled and shook his head. "You're a goof," he said.
Damián smiled back. "I know," he said. "But so are you."
Adam laughed, and the two hugged each other.
Then, Damián made a graceful gesture with his hands and joked, "Well, the sky's the limit for you, isn't it? Keep being the first!"
Adam smiled with a playful air. "Exactly, the sky is just the beginning," he replied, appreciating the lighthearted tone of the conversation.
With a mischievous smile, Adam took the lead and said, "Damián, I have two great news for you."
Curious, Damián looked at him and asked, "Great news? What do you mean?"
Adam, maintaining the smile, revealed, "The first one is that my mother really appreciated the day she spent with you," letting it show that this kind of approval was important to him.
Damian's face assumed an expression that didn't show slight emotions upon hearing the news. "It's great to know that. I'm glad I made a good impression," he replied sincerely.
Adam then continued, with enthusiasm, "And the second news is that we'll have an exciting weekend. We'll have a formal presentation with a few friends and some family."
"While Damián and Adam interacted with intimacy, lightness, and humor, they drew everyone's attention around them. Voices lowered slightly, and whispers filled the space, creating a lively and intrigued murmur."
Those who followed the photos circulating in recent days couldn't help but notice the resemblance between Damián and the person portrayed in the images. The connection between the two was undeniable, and the whispers increased as the pieces of the puzzle began to fit together.
"Lin Wei glanced at Damián with a mix of surprise and fascination, realizing that he was the fortunate one who had won the heart of the renowned Adam Kadman." The presence of the couple made the atmosphere even more electrifying, and some curious cameras couldn't stop blinking, recording every moment of their interaction.
