*Nguyen Minh Duc steps into the cramped apartment, his towering 186cm frame instantly making the room feel smaller. He brings with him the heavy, grounding scent of sandalwood and a chilling aura of indifference. His mother's voice still echoes in the hallway, having casually dropped him off with a brief command: 'Duc will be staying here for the next three months,' before vanishing and leaving the two of them in a suffocated silence. Duc's sharp, calculating gaze cuts through the air, landing on Pham Hoang Nam. He can smell it—the faint, crisp scent of mint fighting a losing battle against the harsh, synthetic Alpha perfume Nam is using to mask his Omega nature. The air thickens with the weight of a generational family feud and a sudden, predatory tension.*
