The hope I felt when Ghazi finally came to my rescue was gone in an instant. The moment I saw how Ghazi looked at Remy, I realized it was the way he used to look at me. I didn't know that you could break a broken heart, but I was feeling it.
I did a stupid thing when I broke things off with Zal. I hoped that Ghazi was still in love with me, and somehow in my fucked up mind, I wished that there was still something between us.
"I'm sorry Ghazi, I shouldn't even be here. I don't get why you told Zal to bring me here." Or was it something Zal wanted, he was probably washing his hands off me. He was probably glad that he didn't have to take care of my stupid self. God...I wished those guys killed me. It would be less humiliating for me.
"Oscar, don't...we had something. I loved you. I still care for you."
I winced when his words shattered my heart all over again. Fuck these feelings. The man said it. He loved me. As in the past.
"I know. You should prob
Both Ghazi's uncles, Bijan and Reza, were in hiding. They got hurt when Ghazi and I shot them the night we rescued Oscar. They were wearing bulletproof vests, they had guards covering their exits, and they managed to slip away before we could put a bullet between their eyes. I was sure that at least both of them were bleeding, but I needed to find them. My hunger for their blood was feral to the point that I needed to have my revenge. They hurt Oscar and I had to calm down my frustration when he was taken back to Ghazi's. I need to let my cousin shelter him because I need to find those bastards who dared to touch my Oscar.One of my men had detained the executor, he was the one who was responsible for Oscar's bloodied and bruised face and torso. My man was badly hurt and I hated when Ghazi told me that Oscar was to stay at his place while all I wanted to do was to take care of him. Yes, I was stupid enough to still want to take care of him. No matter how easy it was for him t
It was two weeks after Oscar left the apartment when we finally heard the news. Ghazi was busy at his home office the moment his cousin, Zal, burst into the penthouse. Since the fiasco with his uncles, Ghazi has been busy communicating with his new business partners. The cartel was more than just muscling themselves into someone else's business. It took a certain kind of finesse, and Ghazi has been going back and forth with deals and talk of loss and profits with his dad's old business partners.Lately, I've been watching Ghazi work from home. Mostly in the afternoon, where I sat in his home office with my sketch pad, quietly doing my designs. It brought me comfortable feelings whenever I was in the same room as him. I would hear his voice while he was on the phone, watch him work, and sometimes catch him looking at me. I was in my happy space whenever he was near, and I am really glad that I fought for him. That I wanted him badly enough, and that he wanted me too.I
Remy the Husband-to-beWhen the wedding date was finally coming around the corner, I still couldn't believe that I was going to marry the man that I love. It took Jacqueline three months for her to prepare my wedding since she didn't get to prepare hers. She was going all out and all I was allowed to do was give my opinion or just sit and be pretty, her words not mine, especially in the last three days.With each opinion she asked me regarding the wedding, I was getting nervous. Though I knew that the event was going to be beautiful, it was going to be perfect. I have my faith in Jacqueline. The wedding venue was booked, and the seating arrangement was done. I love how she gave me perfect floral arrangements and color schemes. The guest list was composed and invitations were sent. The tuxes were tailored and had arrived. It was a surreal feeling to see the white and black tux, knowing that the time was closing in. I was nervous and excited at the same
Ghazi the Husband-for-lifeI was nervous about the wedding. Jacqueline insisted that she took Remy for a whole spa day to relax his mind. She did ask for my permission which I reluctantly gave. I only agreed because...well, she's Jacqueline and just like Remy, I was unable to say no to her. She had become more than our best friend, she had become a family and because of that, I let her take Remy away from me for a whole twenty-four hours."I hate that I can't say no to your wife," I grumbled, taking another glass that Grady put in my hand and pouring the strong liquid down my throat. Grady and Percy, Jacqueline's husbands were smirking as if they knew that her charm could make any man succumb to her wishes."Thank you for giving her this," Percy said after he took a quick sip from his glass. "I know we surprised her with both of her weddings, but we never thought that she would enjoy the hectic wedding preparation. Obviously, we were wrong, so t
Bonus Chapters - Oscar and ZalIt was easy for me to put on a happy face. I've been faking it for months. They didn't know how much it hurt seeing them both happy together. Sure I had Zal, but I still doubt that the man loved me as much as Ghazi loved Remy. I am sure that once someone better comes along, Zal will leave me too.Some would call me pessimistic, but I call it reality. I got burned once, and I wasn't going to be a fool and let myself get burned for the second time. The dinners they shared with me and Zal maybe innocently saying that they wanted me to be happy. So I played pretend and showed them what they wanted to see. Not that I was still in love with Ghazi, 'cause I don't. I wasn't going to be that pathetic guy who was still in love with another man's husband.I was mostly angry with myself. It was when Zal left for work that I stayed longer in my office and worked myself to exhaustion. I'd drink and savor my Scotch. I know I've l
When Chip texted me, I was glad that I was home. I didn’t know what exactly happened, but I’d ask questions later.That was an hour ago. Oscar was asleep, my man looked damn tired. I understood that people could be hurtful, but now I kind of get why Oscar acts the way he does. His dad went overboard with his reaction and that was probably what made him upset enough to walk back home instead of calling for his driver.I did not like his careless way, though at least he let me hold him and still let me care for him.“Did you get our men to clean the scene?” I asked Chip when I joined him outside, after assessing that there was no imminent danger and no one else was following Oscar.“I did. It’s done, Boss.” Chip answered quickly, though he couldn’t answer why Oscar was walking back from the office instead of driving back with his driver. Did his dad piss him off that much? That would seem like a more possible
“Hands on the wall and spread those sexy legs for me,” He smirked before taking my lips, kissing me harder than he should just because he couldn’t resist me, seconds before he apologized for hurting my split lip.But then I gasped when his finger trailed between my cheeks as if he was checking if his cum leaked from my insides. Fuck...I’ve never felt this dirty before and I was too fucking horny to care.“Face the wall, I want to see it.”Damn it... so hot...I turned around, giving him the front row view of my naked backside and my cock actually twitched when I felt his dick teasing me between my cheeks. He was already hard after just coming, into the kitchen. The man was insatiable and I was not far behind him when my half mast was hardening into a full mast.When he finally entered me again I was barely holding on, and his hand wrapped around my middle supporting me while his other hand grabbed me by
Oscar ended up choosing the first penthouse. The penthouses were cleared of their previous owners’ personal belongings, though the knickknacks and furniture remained since the wives did leave in a hurry. Still, we have movers packed their shit and shipped them out of the country.That same day I had my men move our stuff into the penthouse and gave Oscar his access card to our new place. I saw him blush when I told him that the penthouse was going to be his to live in. I generally didn’t care about my belongings since I always lived dangerously and was not expecting to live long. The retirement fund I have was enough to support me until I’m well over a hundred and to me, that was way too long. If the bullets didn’t kill me first, surely the cigarettes and cigars I have occasionally would kill me. Hence my simple way of living.But now I have Oscar, and I would buy him anything he wanted. He got me wrapped around his fingers.“Now th
