Rejecting or disagreeing with Charlie’s proposal seems to be no longer an option for me when he locks his hand with mine and drags me to the parking lot.
We then hop into his car in a race. He is holding the steering wheel, yet his mouth is busy savoring mine.
“Someone might see us, Charlie,” I said, but I don’t know if I should be worried or not, since putting his hard dick inside me is what’s running on my mind at the moment. “Do you have someplace safer than the parking lot?”
“How about my place?” he whispers, sending a mix of cold and warm shivers down my spine.
Even if I have no idea where he lives, I nod right away. Having sex with him in his place is way better than at the parking lot.
I still have some decency left in me. With that being said, Charlie brought me to his apartment and made our second night mistake.
I am supposed to put a bullet inside his head, making sure he couldn’t see the next sunrise. That’s the main reason I search for him in the bar.
But I couldn’t even dare pull the gun out of my leather jacket. Instead, Charlie pulled in closer, the warmth of our bodies igniting a fire between us.
“Are you sure about doing this with me, Dominick? How about my sister, huh?” he whispers in my ear while removing his bow tie.
“Clarisse’s already asleep by now,” I whisper back as I help him remove his tuxedo. “Also, address me, like you always do. Brother-in-law.”
My breath hitches as Charlie brushes his lips against mine, coaxing and inviting. There was an urgency on our movements, as though the world outside faded away, leaving only the intoxicating connection we shared.
Charlie’s hands roam my back, tracing the contours of my spine, drawing shivers of delight from within. With each touch, I felt the intense chemistry that crackled in the air, heightening every sensation.
“Why?” he asks.
“It turns me on every time you call me that,” I replied, despite having a hard time breathing. “Can you say it again?”
“Say please for me first,” he orders maniacally.
I smile at him and breathe, “Please?”
“You’re so fucking sexy, brother-in-law!”
“Can you say it again?” I beg. “Please?”
“Fuck me like there’s no tomorrow, brother-in-law!”
Charlie and I lost ourselves in the rhythm of each other’s bodies that felt both instinctual and divine.
“Brother-in-law,” I gasp, my voice trembling with desire.
Charlie responded by deepening our kiss, his lips molding perfectly with mine. His fingers tangle in my hair, his heart racing as we explore each other with fervor.
The world outside ceases to exist as we surrender to the moment, our hearts beating in synchrony.
With every whispered word and gentle touch, we communicate everything that words could not convey.
I am not an expert when it comes to bed; in fact, this is going to be my second time. But with Charlie leading me, I don’t need to ask further questions.
The next morning, I open my eyes as I realize I still have unfinished business to do, which is to kill Charlie.
He is still snoring as I lift half of my body. I wave my hands above his face, making sure he isn’t faking it.
As far as I am concerned, he fucked me like there’s no tomorrow, feeling like it was going to be our last.
“Charlie,” I softly breathe out his name, still feeling unsure. I breathe out his name not just once, but thrice.
However, he never responds at all. Not even a moan or a sigh.
So, I crawl out of bed to search for the gun. I cock the gun as soon as it lands in my hands and point the tip straight through his head.
There’s no way he could survive once the bullet gets buried inside his head. Last night was one of the best days of my life. Charlie and I had sex again.
But I had to make sure our second mistake is also the end between us. I pull the trigger without any sign of hesitation.
“Idiot,” Charlie’s sleepy voice suddenly echoes throughout the room.
To my surprise, Charlie pulls me onto the bed by force before he jumps on top of me and says, “If you wanted to kill me, you have to make sure the gun is loaded with at least one bullet first, Dominick.”
He snatches the gun from me and grabs something underneath the pillow. It’s the bullets. He cocks it and points the tip straight to my forehead.
Allen checked the gun last night before he passed it down to me. I was damn sure it was loaded with bullets.
When did Charlie get the chance to remove them? We slept next to each other after we had sex, and my head has been resting on his shoulder since then.
I didn’t notice him crawling out of bed as far as I can remember. Did it happen while having sex?
No, I highly doubt that.
Our bodies were too inseparable at that crucial moment. He participated more than I did. But when? Did I miss something?
“This is how you are going to kill someone, Dominick,” he says. “But I guess you knew nothing about guns.”
“Let go of me, you bastard!” I growl, still struggling to get him away from me. “Do you have any idea who I am, huh?”
“Of course, I know you for two reasons.” He replies, extending with a smile. “First, you’re my sister’s newly-wedded husband. Second, you are the man who had sex with her brother. Twice, for the record.”
I am supposed to get scared when, with just one click of the gun, my head is going to burst. However, anger and hatred rage through every fiber of my muscles as I look at him in control of the situation.
He came into my life like a bolt of lightning and moved at the speed of light. I have never felt defeated and outsmarted in my whole life.
Even those with wealth and power bowed before me. Poor people were born to be my servants. He’s not an exception. This is ridiculous!
The person who could beat me hasn’t been born yet. I had to think fast and do something before it’s too late.
“With that being said, I was wondering if my sister or your parents already knew that you’re like this.”
“Like what exactly, huh, Charlie?” I ask, provoking him to buy time to think smartly.
I turn my hands into hard fists as I grit my teeth, full of regret. Utter regrets about everything.
This bastard even knew my weakness. Perhaps he intentionally approached me to expose my deepest secret to everyone.
“A slut like you?” I snort. “Performance-wise, do you think I am like you?”
Charlie laughs, his rough voice irritates me even more. “I’m not like you, Dominick,” he replies, extending with a smile. “Even Clarisse knew that I’m gay.”
The bastard seems to have realized that I was already having a hard time breathing from his choke. He jumps out of me and drops the gun in the corner, away from me.
I reach out to my neck where the pain lingers and look at him sharply.
“So, here’s my suggestion, Dominick.” He continues while putting on his clothes. “Be my secret boyfriend. Have sex with me like this.”
Several long, curved lines were engraved on my forehead as soon as I heard that.
“Or else what, huh? Are you going to tell them that we had sex twice?” I blurt as I jump out of bed and grab my clothes from the floor. “Are you threatening me?”
“This is not a threat, Dominick.” He replies with a blink. “But a proposal. I like you. And I know you like most being with me. It’ll be a waste if we are to put an end to this too soon, don’t you agree?”
“What?” Several long, curved lines were carved on my forehead.
“Deny it or not, you can’t run away from me anymore, Dominick. This is no longer a mistake. You crave it. And you can’t just do it with anyone else, but me.”
After putting on his clothes, he walks closer and kisses me on the forehead. “So, do we have a deal?”
Ten minutes ago."Boss, about what I heard earlier..." Mr. Allen muttered but stopped halfway through, his voice hesitating over whether he should ask or not."Yes, you heard it right, Mr. Allen," I replied, knowing what he was about to ask. "That bastard lied to us from the beginning. He's the Christoph Miller that we know of.""But how? Why didn’t I know anything about this? Christoph and I. I thought we were close friends..."That's what I thought too. If my memory serves me right, Mr. Allen even boasted to me about how they became much closer after I transferred to a different school.A lot of things happened recently, and I don’t know what to believe or not anymore. I don’t know what's the best thing to do either. Or if I was doing the right thing."Tell me about it. With that being said, I was wondering why you didn't recognize him from the moment you met him at the wedding since you know him better than I do. Don't tell me you didn't do a background check before the company hir
“Don’t drag my sister into this, you, bastard!” Charlie growled as he tightened the choke on my neck. “If you have issues with me, take it with me. Don’t involve my sister. She didn’t do anything to you.” Instead of saying something, or at least defending her side of the story, Clarisse suddenly looked down, and tears were about to fall from her eyes. “So, you already knew from the start, huh? This is great! At least, everything made sense to me now.” I muttered coldly before I looked back at Charlie with contempt. “You are indeed siblings. Liars!” “Dominick, wait! Let me explain!” Clarisse cried out, trying to stop me from leaving. However, her continuous pleading didn’t stop me from reaching the parking lot where Mr. Allen parked the car. I have no more reason to stay in that room, as I already got my answer. She could have lied to me, made any excuses as I am willing to turn a blind eye, but she didn’t. Imagine, my own wife, the woman I trusted the most,
Charlie has been released from the police precinct and never looked back. I saw it with my own eyes that he was not even bothered when one of the officers assured him that I might rot in jail for the rest of my life. Attempted murder. That's what they accused me of, especially when they caught me having a deadly weapon behind my leather jacket. Even if they have no proof, I was pointing it to Charlie or showing me holding it. I patiently waited a few more minutes, giving him enough time to change his mind. For once in my life, I even thought he would come back and explain what was going on between him and Robert. Perhaps if he had told me that it was only to prank me or to make sure Dad wasn't feeling suspicious, I would have accepted it. But then again. What else could I say? Once a bastard, always a bastard. Because he already took my virginity, he threw me like a junk of garbage. And what, he is going to take good care of DG Groups? He must be kidding
Or was I mistaken with the basic counting? That being said, I was wondering how soon the baby can start growing inside a woman's body. I know it's a long process, but I didn't know it would arrive late. But I already have a few unresolved problems on my plate right at the moment. Doubting and confronting Clarisse would only worsen everything. Whether that child is mine or not, it doesn't matter anymore. I highly believe that the child is mine and mine alone. Clarisse wouldn't dare cheat or fool me and my father. Whatever! "What in hell are you doing here, Dominick?" I quickly turned my face back to the doorway when someone barged into the room without knocking. Without even considering that there is a pregnant woman who was in the middle of her sleep. "Shouldn't I be the one asking you that question? What are you doing here, Charlie?" Seeing Charlie with my own eyes undeniably gave me excitement and happiness in the past: those times when we were boyf
"Wait. Did you call him 'bastard'?" I was cut off when Dad yelled before he pushed Mr. Allen away from him and grabbed my neck afterward. His grip deepened under my skin and is about to rip my throat open. I've witnessed Dad getting furious countless times, but today was different. He showed me no remorse. No signs of hesitation. I can see the urge to kill in his eyes. Tears fell from my eyes and my knees weakened, as I could not believe Dad would kill his son to protect an outsider. Someone whom he had just met and had known for months, and was not even related by blood. Why? Why would he go to that extent? I have known a few fathers who love their son more than anyone in the world. Their duties and responsibilities were supposed to protect their family members. A father is typically responsible for meeting the family's basic needs and wants. But why didn’t I get that kind of support from him? I grew up struggling to provide for myself. Dads are supp
“And now, without further ado, may we call on stage... The man of steel behind tonight’s event! Please, clap your hands for Don Emilio de Guzman, chairman of DG Group and Companies!”Dad was already too old enough to walk properly, so I volunteered to assist him in reaching the stage. Of course, for everyone to know who I am. For them to recognize me.“Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t want to say more words. Please help me welcome the new chairman and the future image of DG Groups and Companies… Dominick Roy de Guzman, along with his wife, Clarisse Frost de Guzman!”The deafening screaming and clapping from the crowd almost broke my eardrums. I can see everyone’s faces from the podium, speaking up with one thing in common - envy.Everyone was undeniably feeling envious of me for being at the top of the pyramid in the business world. I felt there were butterflies in my stomach, looking at them treating me like their god.And I couldn’t be prouder of myself. I never felt this proud in my e
