Doting In A World That Wasn't Mine
Where am I?
Author/kiyu
Hello Everyone 👋
Kael Vaelaris wake ups in a luxury mansion bedroom, soft chandelier light glowing on polished wood floors. Large windows frame a modern city’s tall buildings, their lights twinkling. Silk sheets brush his skin, alien to his old life’s rough cotton. A faint lavender scent—soothing yet sharp—tickles his nose, stirring strange instincts. His past as a stressed secretary in a cramped apartment feels like a dream, replaced by this grand, warm home.
Kael Vaelaris
* Open eyes*
* Looks around *
* Confused *
Kael Vaelaris
(where am I? )
Kael Vaelaris
(Didn't I die?)
Kael Vaelaris
(what's this place)
Kael Vaelaris
(Hell? No way?
Hell can't be this luxurious!)
Kael Vaelaris
(Then maybe heaven? Maybe God decided to compensate me for my Pitiful life?)
Kael Vaelaris
(If that's the case, that would make sense! As one of the most pitiful person, working under an awful boss, I deserve a big compensation for my pitiful life! )
Kael Vaelaris
(So what If my boss was the heir to a big company and inherited it? I had to do all the work instead of my good-for-nothing boss! Not only that everyone praised him, when i was the one who worked his ass off 🥲 )
Kael Vaelaris
(If I didn't sign that unfair contract because of my inexperience, this wouldn't have happened. I didn't even get a good wage for all that work!😡)
Kael Vaelaris
(Now that I have died from overwork, i really wanna see that bastard right now!. He must be panicking right now 😌. After all his only capable slave, ahem 🤧, I mean secretary is gone now!)
Kael Vaelaris
(What's this scent? Lavender? It smells good! It doesn't seems to be a perfume. Maybe there is a garden? )
Kael Vaelaris
(Now, I think about it, if it's heaven shouldn't there be angels? 🤔* confused *
But I didn't even see one! )
Kael Vaelaris
(And there seems to be something different about my build too!💪)
Kael Vaelaris
(Something's wrong! Where am I for real 😵💫.
Maybe I didn't die! Maybe someone kidnapped me! It doesn't seem far off! If someone found out my skill and the fact I am the one who kept the stability of the company instead of my boss and plans to use me like him, there is a chance for that too!😱)
Kael Vaelaris
* Heart races, grips the bedpost *
Kael stumbles to a mirror, seeing a stranger: 6’2”, lean yet muscular, jet-black hair framing piercing emerald eyes, a sharp jawline and faint brow scar exuding strength. His tailored shirt smells of fresh laundry, a luxury his old self never knew. The room’s warmth—wood floors, plush rugs—contrasts his old, stale office.
Kael Vaelaris
Aaahh!
* Shocked *
Kael Vaelaris
(What the hell?)
* Rubs his eyes *
* Pinch himself *
Ouch!
(Doesn't seem to be a dream)
Kael Vaelaris
(This guy's me? No way! Too handsome! I was a good-looking guy but not this much! This is another level! 😶)

Kael Vaelaris
(Aah! That novel i just skimmed past during lunch break! The villain had the same name as me! Does that mean I am a villain now?)

* pop up *
Its Liora!
Kael Vaelaris
(yes Liora!
And this is an ABO genre, so male can get pregnant, that's how the villain's omega husband got pregnant and had a child.
And Pheromones too.
Now, I think about it, didn't i smell a lavender scent that doesn't seem to be a perfume, I think that's the villain's husband's scent since one can't smell one's own scent. )
Kael Vaelaris
(But how am I gonna survive here? 😵
This is an ABO world, and I am fucking clueless about this world! Family? Responsibility for them? Heat? Rut? Pheromones? Scents?
I don't know anything! I am utterly clueless!🥲)
Kael Vaelaris
*Knuckles tighten on the bedpost*
Kael Vaelaris
(I’m just a loner secretary! 😵
I never had a family and never been in a relationship! How am i gonna act around them? And even if I haven't been in a relationship, I know I am straight! But male husband? Is that correct or should I say male wife? aaah! I don't know!😭😫 )

(please think of a little softer version for Auren )

Kael Vaelaris
I actually don't remember everything well! My memory seems to be little out of it!
Auren Caelis
What? * Startled, suspicious*
Kael Vaelaris
I mean, I remember... most of it,
*he said, his voice coming out a little too light, almost like a joke*
Not like I’ve forgotten everything, just—some things are a bit blurry, you know? Like trying to recall a dream after you wake up. Some parts stick, but the rest is just... gone.
Auren Caelis
*His gaze was sharp, but there was hesitation in it. He looked away quickly, his posture stiff *
I see
* he said, his voice soft but laced with something harder beneath. He shifted uncomfortably, fidgeting with the hem of his sleeve*
Just... don’t forget.....what you have done 🙂
Kael Vaelaris
* Flinch *
(nope, it's not me!🥲)
Kael Vaelaris
Did I do anything bad? * acting like Someone who don't know anything *
Kael Vaelaris
So I did!
And it's related to you, Right?
Auren Caelis
* slowly nod his head *
Kael Vaelaris
Can you tell me what I did?😕
(I know it will hard for him to answer, but I don't know anything other than he neglected them)
Auren Caelis
*Hesitate *
* nod after a few seconds *
You.......
Second Chance
Auren Caelis
* Hesitate *
* Nods after a few seconds *
You are my husband! you remember that much at least, right?
Kael Vaelaris
* Nods *
yes
Auren Caelis
How much do you remember?
Kael Vaelaris
I know that I neglected you guys! Also that I was busy chasing after someone else!
By the way, they are talking in a small voice, almost like a whisper as Calix is also there!
Auren Caelis
That's right!
Her name was Liora. She is a famous Actress tied to your company! She is the face of the LX group's entertainment branch!
Kael Vaelaris
Oh!
Then should I terminate her contract? 🤔
* serious *
Auren Caelis
What?
No! Are you crazy! Hup*covers his mouth with his hands *
I mean, are you serious?
Even if you chased after her, it's not her fault! She didn't know about our marriage after all!
Even if she did, it's not like she is the one chasing you! You are the one doing it!😕
Kael Vaelaris
Right! Okay!
Is there anything more I should know?
Auren Caelis
Yes! You never cared for calix either!
Never went to kindergarten with him, never picked him up, never celebrated his bday, never brought him a present, never went to his kindergarten parent's meeting, never took him outside, and more
Kael Vaelaris
🙂
I will pay attention from now on.
By the way, you said liora didn't know about our marriage, why?
Auren Caelis
Because you kept it a secret!
You didn't want to let her know!
Only a few people know, Family members, direct subordinates, close friends, etc.
Kael Vaelaris
(that bastard!😡!
He kept it from the public just for chasing after her? )
Kael Vaelaris
* suddenly get up from the chair and kneel beside Auren and take his hand carefully *
I am sorry 😟
I will do anything you want from now on!
Can you give me a second chance?
Auren Caelis
* shocked *
* tries to get him up but fails *
(he will do anything I want from now on? And he is asking for a second chance? Should I give him?)
Auren Caelis
But won't you change your mind if your memory comes back? 🙂
Kael Vaelaris
No, I won't. I will even sign a contract with you if you want, that too with my assets. And I am also going to announce our marriage
Auren Caelis
(he's gonna do what? )
(why is everything that's been difficult to get coming back this easily?)
Auren Caelis
You don't have to sign a contract with me with your Assets on the line or anything! Just keep your words! That's enough!🙂
Kael Vaelaris
Hmm.
Thank you for giving me another chance! * smiles * ☺️
