If there was one thing I had learned about Dylan Reed in less than twenty-four hours…

It was that getting access to him was harder than to get into a private vault.

Because tell me why I have been standing outside the VIP lounge for almost ten minutes now, shifting my weight from one foot to the other while trying not to look like I don’t belong here.

I was almost fuming from the stress but I had to wear a fake smile on my face to mask it.

  • Tempted by my Best Friend’s Brother    Chapter 13: We Still Had Twenty-Nine Days To Go

    DylanMy gaze drifted across the penthouse for what had to be the third time in the last ten minutes. Fuck..Why was I even bothering to look at Zinnia? I wasn’t even supposed to notice her. That was the whole point of this arrangement.My plan for today was to ignore her, frustrate her, and push her until she gives up and walks out on her own. It was simple logic really. I thought why waste my time arguing with her or forcing her out when I could just make the job unbearable enough for her to quit. But for some reason, the usually stubborn Zinnia has been extremely compliant today. Even when I asked her to clean my shoes she didn’t complain or frown, she just bent down and cleaned them with a smile on her face. It was seriously irritating me. What game was she playing at and why was she being so obedient? With the stress I’ve put her through today, she was meant to be running out of the house crying by now. Was this job really that important to her that she’d be willing to take

  • Tempted by my Best Friend’s Brother     Chapter 12: First Day, Worst Day

    ZinniaBy 8:00 a.m. the next morning, I was already standing in front of Dylan Reed’s penthouse looking like the definition of professional excellence.Woahh…Was this really me? Wearing a blazer, pencil skirt, and heels that screamed I mean business? I mean I even had a planner tucked under my arm, pen clipped neatly to the front, and a schedule already mapped out down to the minute.I was more than ready.I was about to be the best concierge this arrogant man had ever seen in his entire existence.I pressed the doorbell once and then waited. A full minute passed and I was beginning to get irritated when the door finally opened. Wyatt stood there, leaning lazily against the frame, his eyes dragging from my head down to my shoes like he was silently judging every life decision I had ever made.“You’re early,” he said.I blinked. “It’s 8 a.m.”“Exactly, he’s still asleep.” He said and stepped aside for me to get in.I forced a smile and muttered a thank you. But I couldn’t understand

    Dylan “When are you going to give the people new music man?” Wyatt asked and I shrugged puffing out smoke from my cigarette.“I don’t know, I’ve not been feeling like writing anything recently,” I told him and he sighed.But that was the truth. For the past few months, I’ve not really had any inspiration to write new music. Maybe it was because people expected too much from me now.Music used to be a fun little hobby for me. My source of escape, then my father stumbled upon one of my recordings one day and decided to publish it for me.It went super viral and he threatened that if I was going to rebel and not involve myself in the family's business, I should at least do something I had passion for.And here we are… many years later still doing music, smashing charts, and breaking global records. I had 29 singles that had gone platinum, 11 Grammy awards, 10 BET awards, and a lot more. Always in the top 100 and many firsts. It was all too surreal but lately I’ve been getting tired of

    ZinniaHe laughed at my words like I had just told him the funniest thing ever.“You want us to reach a compromise?” He cocked his eyebrows at me and I nodded looking confused. What’s so funny about us reaching a compromise?“Yes I do,” I replied full of hope but the next second his face turned very stern.“What makes you think you deserve to reach a compromise with me? Who do you think you are?” He asked coldly and I swallowed down nothing.Oh, sweet heavens.Was this your way of punishing me for all my sins? I promise I’ll find some religion to join, I’ll become nicer to Ailany, and no longer be too hard on her.Just please help me out here with this stubborn evil man. Why was he acting like some Demi god that controlled the universe?It’s not like I really wanted to work for him even. I’m only trying to secure my future and that of my family.“Look, Dylan…” “It’s Mr Dylan Reed to you.” He cut me off sternly and I almost burst into laughter. Was he okay at all? Did he want me to s

  • Tempted by my Best Friend’s Brother    Chapter 9: You’ve Got My Attention

    ZinniaI recognized the girl straddling Dylan immediately. That was Helena Matt. You’d have to be living under a rock not to recognize her.She is also a singer just like Dylan and one of the most popular people in the industry although Dylan’s popularity far exceeds hers. So she was hooking up with Dylan? Was she like his fuck buddy or was this the first time?“Well…” Helena drawled, making me aware that I had been standing rooted to a spot, mouth open and staring at them shamelessly.She slid off Dylan’s lap looking very annoyed and like she could strangle me. “This is new, I didn’t know you had girls now barge in anytime they liked.”Heat rushed to my face so fast I thought I might actually combust. Why was everyone mistaking me for one of the girls Dylan normally hooks up with??? I was here for work for fucks sake and as far as I could tell I was dressed very appropriately.So why??Does this mean Dylan was a man whore who hooks up with anything in a skirt? Ughhh… who was I ki

Juliet already gave me a strict warning to introduce myself to Dylan today and get him on board. I wasn’t about to disappoint her. The laughter coming from inside the apartment increased. What was so funny that these girls were laughing about? Because from what I could tell there should be a lot of girls inside with them. They just kept laughing loudly at every single thing, clearly unbothered by the noise they were making. This was one of Dylan’s penthouses. The one he used mostly to record music and other stuff, he barely slept here acc
