45. Ghazi was conflicted

2024-10-29 19:42:56"That's ridiculous. Why would you do that? Wait, he had a man in his penthouse?"
Zal had just reported that he visited Oscar a couple of days ago, telling me that he was worried that my uncles wanted to get back to me through Oscar. The idea was ridiculous, I told Zal exactly that. But then my mind went blank the moment he said that Oscar had a man in his place. I mean, it's not like I don't have a man. I have a boyfriend now, I have Remy. Though thinking about Oscar with another man... there was a selfish side of me that hated the fact.
"Yes, a man. Why, cousin? I thought you were letting him go, letting him move on to be safe." Zal looked at me, there was a little snark in his tone. He knew that I was getting serious with Remy and he had told me that he can actually protect Oscar if I wanted things to move forward with the guy. But then I remembered why. His family. Oscar was deep in the closet, actually just like I am. Having to spend time with Remy, it was li

There was something off about Ghazi. He was too eager to get me to move in with him. I didn't want to rush into things with him. My feelings for Ghazi were another kind of concern. It was too much too soon. Though honestly, my feelings can't be held accountable since I should be learning from experience yet I need to."You don't have to go back. You can stay here, I'll get my guys to pack up your stuff.""Um...and let them go through my underwear drawers where I hide my sex toys?" I laughed when Ghazi almost tripped on his feet as he walked out of the bathroom.Ugh. The man looked so hot in his tailored suit. Even when he tripped a bit."Remy, tell me how many underwear drawers do you have?""Really? You chose to focus on my underwear?"He grinned, looking at me through the full-body mirror in his walk-in closet. I kept on watching him getting ready, leaning by the door frame, crossing my arms to my front, acting casual while taking

It was almost one week later when Ghazi surprised me with beach-themed bags of clothes. Robyn was hand-delivering them with a big grin on her face. "It's my excuse to get out of the office and meet you, though I know Ghazi had your measurement on point." We shook hands after she let herself in as if she had done many times before me."Zal told me that the boss man had you move in days ago. Thank you! He's much more bearable now in the office. So, Remy, are you excited about Capri?""Uh ...what?""Oh...crap, I just ruined the surprise didn't I?"I tried to not upset her by telling her that I'd keep quiet. "I can keep a secret or two you know.'"Ohhh...I know I'm going to like you. You and I will go a long way, Remy. You have my number. Let me know if I can be of use to you." She winked. Yeah, her number kind of slid into my contact list the day she called me to take care of my passport for our last trip to the wine country. I never knew people can m

Days after Zal visited my apartment, Dion had been quiet. He had questioned me about him and I had given him a simple answer that he was my ex's assistant. I know Zal was more than an assistant to Ghazi, with the kind of shady business his family was in, I was sure that Zal was his right-hand man. He was probably the one who did Ghazi's dirty work, or as Zal had said he was security.Things between Dion and I couldn't be more awkward. He would watch me at the office, subtly yet noticeable in my eyes. Days were long until I was back at mine before he'd text telling me he was downstairs and I let him up. We'd had sex then he left to sleep at his."So, any news from your ex again? what's his name? you never tell me anything about him.""No, because there's nothing to talk about. He was my ex, told me he loves me then leaves me once things get boring." I shrugged trying to paint an easy breakup while things with Ghazi were far from easy. The man was my f

Since we were back from Capri Remy was looking a bit lost, probably 'cause he was still making himself home at mine. He was also still struggling after having to quit his work as a bartender, seeing that the commute was ridiculous. Lately, he has been working on his designs. I helped him set up a room for his working space. But still, I know I wanted him to be happy and I was confident that he was going to like the new working space that I had secretly prepared for him. I just need to get him there and let him see it.Mornings with Remy have been a bundle of happy surprises. I was feeling a lot since our trip to Italy. Love is on the tip of my tongue that morning when I watch him sleeping peacefully, naked in my bed. My hand caresses his arm and his eyes slowly open and his lazy smile plastered on his gorgeous face. "Good Morning.""Mhmm...a very good morning to you too." He snuggled closer to my half-naked body and inhaled my scent like he always does every damn morni

"Hey, how's work?" I greeted him the moment he stepped into the apartment. Ghazi looked tired. I regret that I was dressed to go out, I didn't want to make him feel obligated to take me out just because he told me he was going to. The man works too hard."I'm good...are you ready for your surprise?" He asked, smiling before pulling me in for a kiss."Aren't you tired, maybe we should just rest for tonight?""Oh, Remy... I would never be too tired for you," He winked and pulled me in for another kiss."What are you doing?" Ghazi questioned when my hands roamed his chest and then to his back. I was truly curious, what if he got hurt earlier? I doubt that he would tell me if he did."I'm checking you for wounds. Look, I know you have guards, but something just felt off with your last call. I just...I wanted you to be safe." I cupped his face and kissed his lips gently. I didn't mean for him to feel guilty, but his face to
The Professional Bed Warmer 51. Oscar got hurt
Seeing Ghazi was one thing, but seeing how Dion reacted to Ghazi when he was at my place made me feel rattled. I worried about what Dion might do, and what Ghazi would then do to him. It was not worth it to let the two men fight over me. I know where I stand and now with the pictures and the stalker, I am a mess."Hey, how are you holding up?" Dion caressed my arm, before scooting closer and kissing the side of my head. I shouldn't have encouraged him, but I leaned closer to him anyway."Better now that you're here." Lies. It was all lies. I wanted to be alone, but I didn't want to think about Ghazi. Letting Dion here with me was better. And letting him guide me to my bed, and engulfing me in his arms, I felt a tad bit better. If not safer, just because I have someone to hold me.When morning came, he easily told me to take the day off. "Take a sick day. You don't look so good. I'll go to the office and bring you dinner later.""Stay with me then," I said

"He's sleeping. I got Doc to check on him an hour ago and Oscar was given more pain meds just to help him rest. I'd say he's more rattled than hurt. The marks should be better in about a week or less." I paused to let Ghazi ask questions and when he didn't, I carried on."I've been digging and your uncles are desperate, they reach out to Yubkin Komarov. But those Russian thugs are a mess right now. They're struggling internally, we have a good chance of ending all this. You just need to say the word." I offered, knowing though his uncles were the bad apples, they were still family."They did try to kill me. I need to think about this. Give me time. And where are you coming back to the city?""Oscar, he wanted to go to your place, but I know you have Remy there...so I," The words linger, cause I know he still has feelings for his ex. Things didn't end well between them but my cousin means well."Fuck, thanks for doing this for me. But I think you need to s
The Professional Bed Warmer 53. Oscar heard something
Maybe I was imagining things, but I was so sure that I heard Zal groan out my name last night. Ugh...maybe the drugs were just too good. This place does have very thin walls as I heard him walk around his room when morning came."Oscar?""Yes?" I didn't know why my voice was throaty. I didn't mean to be sexy, but the man was so damn fine that I was sure he had men lining up with his bad boy appearance. Huh...maybe the bad boy image is my kryptonite. I seemed to fall to Ghazi fast enough that I let him take my virginity only to have him dump me months later. God...I really need to forget about my ex."Breakfast will be ready in twenty, I already ordered from a nearby restaurant. Get your meds, and I'll make us coffee." His eyes darted around my room before he settled on my naked chest and for a couple of seconds I was sure I saw interest in his eyes. Was last night true? Could he jerk off imagining me?I felt a flush of warmth up to my cheeks. I was

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.

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
