This is the story of an omega boy named Ciel D'Armont.While his entire family loves him, that affection is rooted in an old-fashioned mindset that binds him to the societal norms.As an omega,he has been taught to conduct himself with propriety and to speak gently.
Ciel is a gentle, beautiful and shy omega from a wealthy family.He speaks hesitantly,is afraid of loud voice, and remains constantly obedient reflecting the old-fashioned upbringing instilled in him by his family, which holds that an omega should always remain submissive.
Ciel:"I-I'm ready". Terrified, he clutched his shirt and listened silently to the talk of his marriage his family had arranged.
His father said:"Don't worry,we've known the Valmont family for years they will take good care of you."
Ciel:"Hmm", he simply lowered his head and murmured.
Everyone was delighted by his consent to the marriage. However the moment, no one noticed the tiny changed in ciel expression,his demeanor shifted completely from innocent to dark , his fear vanished for only a second.Then his lips curved into sweetest innocent smile again.
His stuttering was an act.
His fear was an act.
Even his innocent personality was an act.
Behind his spectacles and innocent smile hides a completely different person.
Outside the D'Armont Residence:-
A black car stopped near the gate.
Silas Reed stepped out. Ciel childhood bestie, an omega.
He wore a perfectly tailored suit and carried a folder under his arm.
He entered the house.
"Good morning, everyone",Silas smiled and said politely.
Ciel's omega father replied: "Morning Silas."
Ciel immediately looked up.
Their eyes met.
For a half second, Ciel's innocent expression disappeared.
Only Silas noticed.
Silas almost smiled.
Almost.
"Cilli",Silas said with bright smile.
Ciel blinked innocently.
Ciel:Y-Yes?
Silas (internally):"This fucking drama queen".
But loud:"your father asked me to bring these documents."
Ciel nodded.
"T-Thank you,S-illi."
Silas placed the folder down.
And beneath the table,Ciel quietly kicked his ankle.
Silas glanced at him.
Ciel smiled sweetly.
Silas understood immediately.
Silas:Later, he whispered.
Valmont Estate:-
Hundreds of Kilometres away, the atmosphere couldn't have been more different.
No warmth.
No Casual laughter.
No innocent conversation.
The Valmont mansion stood behind enormous iron gates.
Security guards surrounded the property.
Black Vehicles lined the driveway.
Inside, several men in suits stood silently around the enormous dining hall.
The Valmont family was gathered.
A powerful mafia dynasty.
Caelan Valmont, Xavier's father sat on the head of the table.
Behind him sat Aiden, Xavier's mom.
Xavier's brothers, Ethan and Drake were nearby.
The two grandfathers, Seizal and Zephyr watch everything with quiet authority.
Then,
Footsteps.
Everyone looked towards the entrance.
Xavier Valmont entered.
Tall
Broad-shouldered.
Perfectly dressed in a black suit.
His expression was cold and confident.
He walked toward the table without saying a word.
Zeke Maxwell, his assistant and right-hand man followed behind him.
"You're late,Xavier", Caelan's voice was calm but commanding.
Xavier pulled out his chair and said:
"I was handling something."
Drake smirked:"something?"
Xavier glanced at him and said:"Something important."
Ethan laughed:"you always say that."
Xavier ignored him.
Caelan placed a file on the table.
"Enough!"
The room became silent.
Caelan looked directly at Xavier.
"We received a marriage proposal."
Xavier's eyebrow lifted:"No!"
Caelan hadn't even finished.
" It's not a choice,it's an order, you don't have any options."
Xavier leaned back and said:"I'm not getting married."
Caelan calmly opened the file
"You're."
Xavier's expression darkened
"To whom?"
Caelan slide a photograph across the table.
Xavier glanced at it.
A young man wearing spectacles with soft expression and gentle eyes.
Almost painfully innocent.
Ciel D'ARMONT
Xavier stared at the photograph and said.
...Him?
Caelan nodded and said:Ciel D'ARMONT
Xavier looked unimpressed and muttered: "he looks fragile."
Zeke glanced at the photograph.
"He does"
Xavier pushed the photograph away .
"Not my type"
Caelan's voice remained firm.
"It's an alliance between two families.
The marriage will happen.A king doesn't look right without a queen; you will have to get married."
Xavier sighed.
"Fine"
He stood.
But don't expect me to fall in love with him.He said and walked away.Zeke followed him out.
Once they reached the hallway, Zeke looked him and said : "Boss you look pissed?"
Xavier adjusted his cuff:"I am "
Zeke:"Because you're getting married?"
Xavier:"Because everyone thinks they can decide my life for me."
Zeke smiled and said:"Maybe your future husband will surprise you."
Xavier scoffed and said:" That timid looking omega?"
He glanced once more at Ciel's photograph.
" I doubt it."
D'Armont Residence:-
The mansion was quiet that night.Ceil sat on the balcony,his glasses lying beside him.He stared at the city lights while holding the marriage proposal in his hand.
Silas walked onto the balcony with two cups of coffee.
Silas:"You look like you're planning someone's murder."
Ciel:"I'm thinking about marriage."
Silas nearly dropped his coffee.
Silas:"What the fuck?"
Ciel glanced at him calmly while looking at the photo.
Ciel:"Interesting! I'm going to marry Xavier Valmont."
Silas stared at him for several seconds and raised an eyebrow.
Silas:"You like him?"
Ciel immediately looked at him.
Ciel:"Don't be stupid."
Silas:"Then, You've officially lost your damn mind."
Ciel:"Probably"
Silas:"Cilli, we're talking about Xavier Valmont."
The mafia heir.The cold bastard Enigma who apparently scares half the underworld just by looking at them."
Ciel:"I know who he is."
Silas:"And you're just casually saying , yeah I'll marry him?"
Ciel shrugged.
Ciel:"Why not?"
Silas:"Because he's dangerous!"
Ciel:"so am I."
Silas went silent.
Ciel picked up his glasses and slowly put them on.
His innocent expression returned instantly.
Ciel:"I-I hope he-he's n-nice..."
Silas stared at him.
Ciel smiled and asked:"what?"
Silas replied:"You're fucking drama queen."
Ciel laughed softly and said:"And you're my favourite idiot bestie."
Ciel then, calmly said:"The Valmont family trusts mine, nobody will suspect me."
Silas:"that's your reason?"
Ciel:"partly, I am curious about him "
Silas:"You're marrying a Mafia heir because you're fucking curious?"
Ciel:"When you say it like that,it sounds stupid."
Silas:"Because it is!"
Ciel laughed.
Ciel:"Relax,Silli. I'll be fine ."
Silas:"That's what people say before everything goes to hell."
Ciel stood then glanced back with a mischievous smile.
"Imagine their faces if they discovered the innocent omega they welcomed into the Valmont family was actually-
Silas immediately covered his mouth.
"Shut the fuck up , someone will hear.."
Ciel:"I know, I'll play the innocent omega perfectly."
Silas sighed.
Silas:"you're really doing this?"
Ciel: I'm really doing this."
Silas:"Fine,but don't fall for him."
Ciel rolled his eyes.
"Please, I have better things to do, okay!"
Neither of them know how badly those words would come back to haunt them.
THE First Meeting:-
Xavier Valmont wasn't pleased about the marriage.Ciel was not his type.He was the heir of the Valmont Mafia family so he wanted his wife to match his personality.But he knew that arguing with his family will do nothing.
When he finally met his future husband -
However, he was surprised.
Ciel stood beside his parents wearing fully covered clothes and an elegant spectacles.
He looked nervous exactly like the photograph. Soft,timid and beautiful.
Ciel: "H-hello..."
He bows slightly.
Ciel:" it's nice to meet you."
Xavier looks at him.
Xavier introduced himself.
"Hello, Xavier Valmont", in cold voice.
Ciel:" C-Ciel D'A-Armont."
Xavier:"I know"
Ciel's fingers nervously tightened around his sweater.
"O-oh..."
Xavier noticed his nervousness
"You don't have to be nervous."
Ciel:" I'm not..." , said in trembling voice.
Xavier:"You clearly are"
Ciel looks down.
"S-sorry!"
Xavier's eyebrow twitched.
"Why does he apologise so much?"
Ethan:"Xavier, you're scaring him."
Xavier:"I'm standing here."
Drake:"Your face is enough."
Xavier:"Fuck off!"
Everyone goes silent.
Caelan:"xavier"
Xavier:"... sorry"
Ethan tries not to laugh.
💍The Marriage:-
A week later, Xavier and Ciel got married and moved to Xavier's apartment.
Observing Ciel's behaviour, Xavier often felt that this omega constantly needed someone's protection; he was actually annoyed by this fragility as he disliked overly emotional people.But he don't know that his timid wife was acting.Ciel kept up the character continuously apologizing loud voice, and hiding behind Xavier whenever a stranger approached him.
And slowly, Xavier began to care about him. He started to like his nervous face when he get close to him , he started to tease Ciel, started buying things that Ciel liked.
He unknowingly started to began possesive towards Ciel.
He even began protecting him whenever they went outside.
Ciel secretly found the entire situation amusing.
One evening, Ciel accidentally cut his finger while helping in the kitchen.
Xavier asked:"What happened?"
Ciel:"It's nothing."
Xavier took his hand and examined the small injury.
Xavier:"Be more careful."
Ciel blinked.
He hadn't expected Xavier to care so much.
Another day, someone spoke rudely to Ciel at family gathering.
Before Ciel could respond, Xavier stepped between them.
" Choose your words carefully", said in demanding and cold voice.
The person immediately backed away.
Ciel stared at Xavier.
Inside, he was confused and amused.
"So,the terrifying mafia heir actually care and protects people."
Later, Xavier noticed Ciel wasn't wearing coat without saying anything he simply placed his own coat over Ciel's shoulders.
Ciel looked at him then thanked him.
Xavier simply nodded.
Neither realised how quickly they were becoming important to each other.
Ciel always thought:" If only you knew!"
The Night Everything Changed:-
Several weeks later, Xavier received information about a dangerous drug dealer.
He needed to investigate personally.
To avoid being recognised, Xavier disguised himself as an innocent omega.
Xavier entered the nightclub dressed as an innocent omega.His usual dark suit was gone. His hair was styled differently, his appearance softened with a prepared disguise and even his posture had changed.
Nobody would thought that he is mafia by looking at him.
Not even Ciel.
Ciel had also came to investigate about that drug dealer . Yes, Ciel was also a Mafia leader. He was confident, cunning, fearless and incredibly dangerous.
Together with his best friend, assistant and right-hand man Silas Reed, whom he affectionately calls Silli, Ciel secretly lives a dangerous double life.
The D'Armont family knows nothing about it. To them, Ciel is simply their precious little son, bounded by their rules.
Back to the story:-
Xavier scanned the crowded club, searching for drug dealer.
Then his eyes suddenly stopped.
Someone was dancing beneath the lights.
A beautiful man in a short-stylish bold outfit who was singing along with the music, completely carefree.
Xavier stared.
It was Ciel.
His innocent wife.
Yet Ciel didn't recognised him.
Of course he didn't.
Xavier was disguised as completely different person.
Zeke slowly looked from Xavier to the dance floor.
Zeke:" Boss ..."
Xavier didn't answer.
Zeke :" Isn't that your wife?"
Xavier's eyes narrowed.
".... That's Ciel"
For the first time, Xavier saw the real Ciel.
No spectacles
No nervous smile
Just confidence, mischievous and an almost dangerous charm.
Xavier couldn't look away.
"So this is what my innocent husband looks like when he thinks nobody is watching."
Before Xavier could approach Ciel-
Bang!
A gunshot echoed through the club.
People screamed.
The drug dealer had recognised Xavier plan.
He fled through the back exit, leaving his men behind to attack him.
Dozens of armed men surrounded Xavier.
Xavier reached for his gun.
Then someone stepped in front of him.
Ciel.
His playful smiled had disappeared.
His eyes were cold .
Ciel:"you picked the wrong person to threatened."
Xavier froze.
That voice
There was no stutter.
No hesitation.
Ciel moved before the first attacker could reach.
He was fast.
Precise.
Completely fearless.
One attacker fell.
Then, another.
Xavier could barely believe what he was witnessing.
That's Ciel.
The same man who had been hiding behind him this morning?
The same man who apologised whenever someone raised their voice?
Ciel wasn't helpless.
He had never been helpless.
When the last attacker fell, silence filled the club.
Ciel turned toward xavier.
For one brief moment, his expression softened.
"Are you hurt?"
Xavier couldn't answer.
He was staring at his husband as he was seeing him for first time, he was trying to digest the things that just happened.
The cold eyes.
The terrifying calmness.
Yet Ciel has no idea who he is.
"You should leave, it's not safe here."
Xavier almost smiled.
"He doesn't recognised me, interesting!"
Ciel helps him up and walk away.
Xavier watches him disappeared into the crowd.
Later that night Ciel return home.
He removed his shoes, changed his outfit, puts his glasses and walks into the living room.
Then he freezes
Xavier was sitting on the sofa.
Ciel's expression immediately becomes nervous.
"X-Xavier? You're back?"
Xavier slowly raises his eyes towards him.
For a few seconds, he says nothing.
Then-
"Where were you until so late at night?"
Ciel's heart skipped.
"I-I was s-sleeping in m-my room."
Xavier's lips curved into a faint smile.
He stood and walks towards him.
"Is that so?"
Ciel nodded quickly.
"Y-Yes!"
Xavier stopped directly in front of him.
Then he leans closer and whispered in his ears.
"That's strange."
Ciel's smile freezes.
Xavier's eyes remained fixed on him.
"Because I met someone tonight who looked exactly like my wife."
After saying this , xavier walked away.
Ciel's blood runs cold.
Ciel swallowed.
"What did he mean? Did he found something?"
