It started as one of those perfect days. Robyn was busy micro-managing my office workload while I was scheduled for a field day with cousin Zal. A new shipment of heavy machinery for the city's newest construction project had just arrived. We were hands in monopolizing the building site for the new office towers which were part of our beloved mayor's pet project.
I made sure that all companies that were contracted in the building site project goes through us. This was the lucrative part of the cartel business, not the illegal drugs and weapons. When other crime syndicate families dwell on the shadier side of the business, I had managed to steer our family's interest when I unexpectedly stumbled on the opportunity and dabbled just before I took over as the head of the family after my parents' disappearance. Since then I had been digging deep into development projects, building networks, shoving and placing our contractors, and making sure that I lined the pockets of the right
It had been a couple of weeks since our little impromptu meet with Oscar's sister Rena. Robyn was keeping tabs on her expenses and she reported that she was pleased with the money trail. Zal had taken her details and had taken compromising pictures of Rena and her surprising drug use. I didn't think she was one of those stereotypical socialites, I need to warn Oscar, she was still his sister. I know he still cares about her, no matter what she said the last time she caught us having dinner together.Work has been keeping me busy. Zal came second in line after Robyn. Keeping up a legal front of a business can be time-consuming, all while knowing that I had to keep my trusted people close. Money was coming in, though my aunts and uncles did not have difficulties in sending them out."You say the strangest thing Zal, I've known you since we were kids. Don't think I don't know that you're hiding something from me." The man looked at me kind of surprised. Of course, I know
Another week had passed. I was unemployed as expected. Jed had thrown me out of his apartment after he fired me the second I decided to break up with him. He told me that I was an ungrateful man, he lectured me, yapping his mouth while I tuned out his words and packed the little stuff I have with me into my trustee duffle bag.Jed was adamant that we should stay together, but I know he just wanted to milk the Daniels with the pictures and I was done with it. So the day I found a cheap affordable apartment with decent heating, I paid and decided to move in that same day.I couldn't even go to my best friend Marx, since apparently, Jed decided to make him his next target. Yep, the man was truly pissed off with me. Marx was over the moon when Jed started to flirt with him and my best friend didn't even flinch when I warned him about Jed. He told me that it was his time and that I shouldn't get jealous of his happiness.Marx's words hurt more than I had anticipated
There was a freedom being with both Bill and Rhys. We were friends with benefits, it was so lame that I was really on board with the concept. Maybe this was what I needed right now. No strings attached, trying to get back on my feet, trying to forget about the mess with the Daniels.Both Daniels didn't try to reach out to me, and I didn't blame them. With Jed hounding them for more money I'd assume they would just pay up and be done with me. After all, I was their boy toy. The contract was clear and I had the decency to know where I stand. The hell with Jed if he thinks he can get more out of them.Trying to put all those in the past, I have been spending more time with Bill and Rhys whenever our schedule allowed. I'd come to their apartment, we'd spend time fucking obviously. Last night was the first time that I'd spend the night at theirs, and I went to work from their place. I was somewhat happy with my current situation. Well, sexually anyway. Though financially I
I didn't know when I got so bold, but there I was standing in a stranger's house for sex. No one forced me into it, not like the last time when Jed did. Now, now... I was there because of my free will.Once again the pug took me back to reality when he barked at me. Then, Leland kneeled to rub his ear and the slightly overweight pug called princess wagged his tail before he strutted back to the kitchen where I'd assume he'd be getting his dinner."Why don't you take a seat and make yourself at home? I need to let Princess out to the backyard for his potty time." Leland explained as he ushered me to the living room. It was modern, spacious, and far from neat. There were no pictures aside from him and Princess. The floor-to-ceiling bookcase was cluttered with books. His taste in literature was eclectic, there were so many authors that I don't even know half of them. Stacks of papers, folders, and envelopes littered his coffee table. There were empty cups and his trash bi
After my shift ended I went straight back to my place. I took a quick yet very clean shower before packing my overnight stuff and went straight to Leland's house.The older man treats me with a fancy takeout. We ate straight from the box since he ran late after his last meeting takes longer than scheduled. He had told me to put my backpack in his room. And now, we were sitting on his back porch waiting for Princess circling the only tree available in the small backyard."Have you thought about us since last night?""Not really, that's why I'm here. To talk it out. I'm...this is all new for me. I got out of a bad relationship with my ex, who's also my boss He pimped me out as a sugar baby. You'd be my third if we decided to go through we whatever it is you're offering me.""Quiet an information dump right there, Remy." He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me in closer. "What I'm offering is that you can do this as casually as you'd like. Your ex is not
It had been three blissful weeks since I moved into Leland's townhouse. A stupid grin splattered on my face as I started enjoying the sugar baby life. I had moved out of my apartment, and quit my job at the bakery, and with Leland's financial help, I set up my online shop and started working on my jewelry designs. I have sold several pieces since my shop opened last week.I was happy.He gave me a room to put all of my clothes and stuff in. The guest room doubled as my little workplace for jewelry designing. Though at night I'd sleep in his arms and be the perfect sugar baby as per our arrangement.All was going well and I was selling a few pieces of my work. I was proud, even Leland said he liked my stuff. I designed him a pair of cufflinks and he wore them the next morning before going to work. A warm fuzzy feeling sipped deep inside me."I'm bringing dinner, you're making dessert," Leland said when he called telling me he was leaving the office and was
"Boss, your uncles are in your office and they looked pissed. Do you want me to call Zal?" Robyn, my PA informed me the second I was in her line of sight."It's okay, I'll handle them." I cleared my throat before I entered my office. Both of my uncles were already seated and both looked equally disgusted when they saw me enter the room. My gut instantly knew why they were there."You are a disgrace." Uncle Reza uttered with a scowl on his face."And why is that?""Your aunt Yasmin was told that you're playing house with the wrong Davenport. What the hell is wrong with you Ghazi? Your parents will never approve of this."I chuckled thinking they couldn't even say the word. "Playing house? Do you mean I have sleepovers with Oscar Davenport? Yes, we have sex and yes I'm a homosexual. What are you going to do about it?" I paused when I saw their face were getting tense. They were clearly not happy with the fact that I was gay and proud to tell them abo
Six months laterAfter weeks of unemployment following the end of my relationship with Leland as my sugar daddy, I finally got a job in a small private kink club as a bartender where I serve non-alcoholic drinks to their members.Yep, consent was a big issue at the club so people need a clear head to make their decision and alcohol was never a good combination for clear-headed decision-making. I've been loving working at the club since the first day I started and months later I was comfortable that no one knew me and I start to get settled in my job.I was counting the hours until I can go back to my apartment. The small studio apartment was a courtesy from Leland, my previous sugar daddy who had reconciled with his ex. He was so happy that he had gotten back with Christopher that he insist on paying the rent for one whole year. Maybe it was the guilt, but I was not going to reject his offer. I could feel the sincerity in his voice when he told
It has been a month since baby Zeke stayed with us and we adopted him as our own. My Oscar had been glowing, I know it was not possible and I was probably too in love with him to see that he was still the same man I married three years ago. But his affection towards our baby was adorable as fuck and it made him extra happy. The smile on his face had made him even more deliciously beautiful in my eyes.The day after we found baby Zeke in the back of my car, my men confirmed that a young woman had left her baby in the backseat. The surveillance camera showed the footage of how she tried several car doors before finding mine was unlocked and putting her baby and the bag inside it. A few days later after a long talk between us and Oscar’s family lawyer, we had agreed to go through with the adoption process. A month later and with a very good family lawyer handling our paperwork, baby Zeke is ours.“God, you really are that smitten aren’t you?” My co
Three years laterZal was late, I was waiting for him with a cup of coffee in my hand. The forest house has been our favorite vacation home since the first time we came here to hide out.I remembered that day as the same day after I buried my dad, though I didn’t remember why we went there aside that it was done to keep us safe.And since I told Zal that I loved the house, my sweet loving husband had secured the place for us by buying it from Ghazi. Up until today, I have no idea how much money he makes nor do I care. I love the man and I love how he adored me and kept me safe.I smiled when I saw the headlights of his car. The house’s surveillance camera confirmed his arrival and I was stepping out of the foyer to greet him in front of the house. I missed him, I just got back from a business trip with Rena while he had his own thing to do. We had arranged to meet up at the forest house, so here we are.As Zal’s c
Meeting my mom and my sister at Dad’s funeral wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. Sure they grieved for their loss but more so they both looked lost. They didn’t even think twice seeing me with a wedding ring, Zal by my side, and his hand on the small of my back.“Should we go back to London after this?” My sister asked quietly.Last night while staying in one of their safe houses in the city, Zal and I talked and we decided to get them settled back here once we were deemed safe by Ghazi. He told me that it was safer for them to be in the city where his men could look out for them.“It’s best that you do. Go back to London after the funeral and pack everything up, both of you will go back to the main residence. Felicity, my PA will help you with the movers, she will go to London if needed. I will stay with my husband and resume my duties with the family business. I will take care of both of you, Zal, and I will.&rdq
“Felicity,” Oscar greeted the older woman who I learned had been working for him for years. Yes, I have looked into her background and everything checked out perfectly. There was nothing to worry about her.“Boss, how are you?”“Better now that you are here, thank you for the coffee.”“It’s your favorite, though I am still pissed at you for leaving me behind to sort out your mess when you elope with your hot boyfriend.”I wanted to laugh at her bravery in criticizing her boss, my Oscar, though I knew she was doing it because she cared about my husband. Just like how she cared enough to bring him coffee and show me that she was pissed at me for not giving me the same treatment.“And as for you, young man, if you do love your husband I expect you to take care of him.”“Yes, mam.” I smiled sweetly at the older woman and decided to leave them to discuss things that nee
Zal woke me up every couple of hours that night saying Doc told him to, something about making sure that I didn't have a concussion. I barely remembered what happened with my dad. What I do remember was Dad and I yelling then he let two men into my office. Big guy and I saw Felicity moved away from her desk though her eyes never left mine.I should've questioned why my floor was empty aside from the front desk and my PA, felicity. But I just assumed they were having a big floor meeting, and since I've been away from the office I thought I'd ask about it later with Felicity after the meeting with my dad.Though the situation went from bad to worse when the two men closed the door behind them. I started to panicked. I got startled when one of the pointed a gun at me. I looked at my dad and the calmly told me to go with them and that everything will sort itself. I didn't know exactly when everything went wrong, aside that I struggled in their hold and managed to get the g
I didn’t tell him that I was worried about him, about what his dad was planning behind his back. Fortunately, Oscar was more than happy to have my men shadowing him from a distance. I went straight to Ghazi’s place after dropping him off at his office building. He kissed me and told me that he loved me before exiting the car and assured me he wouldn’t be taking a whole day at the office. I nodded telling him to call me when he’s ready to go home and I’ll pick him up.“Married life looks good on you, cousin.” Ghazi greeted me the second I entered his home office.“Yeah? Thanks, I just need to make sure Oscar’s dad knows where he’s standing before I can take my new husband for a real honeymoon.”Ghazi’s smile flattered the second I mentioned Oscar’s dad. Not the man is a dangerous person, but Ghazi and I know enough that even the most quiet bear gets vicious when poked. With Oscar leavin
The happiness didn’t last long, not when I heard my dad’s ringtone. Yes, I know Zal would make fun of me for the Darth Vader ringtone, though my mind was occupied with other things. Such us the implication that I haven’t gone back to the office since I emailed dearest Dad my resignation letter. The resignation letter that he just must’ve read knowing it would be buried with other more important emails in his inbox.“Son, what is the meaning of your resignation letter? You’re the heir. You can’t just quit the family business! And why was I notified that your name popped up in Vegas and our lawyer informing that you’d gone off and got married to a man?”“Dad, I love him. I know you would never agree so I quit,”“Fucking hell, Oscar, you do not go off and marry some thug in Vegas. We are a respectable family. If you really need to marry a man at least married the well bred ones. There are plent
The next day I woke up with my new husband’s leg wrapped around mine. Last night we spent hours professing our eternal love for each other. We ended up in the shower to rinse the sweat and cum before getting back on the bed and holding Oscar as he drifted off to sleep.“Morning, baby,”“Mmhm...morning,” Oscar greeted me with a small peck on my lips as I handed him the steaming hot coffee I made minutes earlier after I woke up and called room service for our breakfast.“How are you feeling?”“Like I just got married and my new sexy husband needs to get naked and present me with breakfast.” He said with a deadpan expression before he drank his coffee. I laughed and set it aside beside my cup, pulling his still-naked body to straddle mine.“I love you, my dear husband. I’m ordering breakfast. It’ll be here soon, We’ll eat then we do the sexy stuff. How’s that?”
The flight to Vegas didn’t take long while I ate with a nervous stomach. It helped that Ghazi and Remy gave us some privacy after dinner by sitting across the aisle from us. It was not much, but it helped calm down my nerves.I still have no idea how Zal managed to persuade me to fly with him to Vegas to marry him. My family will surely disown me when they find out. Though thinking about it more, I realized that I had made up my mind and chose Zal before them. I wanted to be happy. Looking across the aisle at Remy and Ghazi, I know I would be looking at my future with Zal as my husband. I could finally have what they have. I have been wearing his ring anyway, I might as well take the final leap and marry my man.We all changed into our suits after dinner. The suits I didn’t know he packed, along with an overnight bag for our brief honeymoon Zal had planned behind my back.“Oh, Zal, this is perfect,”When I thought about Vegas weddi
