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
The Professional Bed Warmer 54. Ghazi was settled
"You what?" I almost yelled at him before I realized I had no right to do so since I broke up with Oscar many many months ago. If he were to find another man, Zal would be the one person that I trust with Oscar's life. Maybe he was over me. That should be good, right? Shit...now I feel like a jerk for thinking about Oscar while I have Remy waiting for me in the living room."Ghazi, you tossed him months ago. Maybe you still have feelings for him, but you didn't even call him when he needed you. He was waiting for you to fucking call. I watched him. The man is fragile as a freaking virgin.""And what did you do? You kissed him. Tell me if I'm wrong." I knew I sounded like a jerk. Zal and I rarely fight, but when we do we tend to do it the harsh way."You're not wrong, this is why I'm telling you because I don't like secrets between us. I want you to know. I need you to tell me that this is okay, cause as much as I like the guy. You're still my family."His
The Professional Bed Warmer 55. Remy was desperate
"Hey Remy," Jacqueline greeted and I smiled at her, fully aware that it didn't even feel genuine. "Oh, honey...is everything okay?""Ugh...you know me so well, don't you?" I sat down throwing her another reluctant smile.Since the first moment Ghazi introduced me to Jacqueline, I knew she was a good person. She may have a questionable line of work, but she said that she enjoyed being a sugar baby. And Ghazi did shower her with gifts and vacation destinations that I wouldn't even dream of until I met the Iranian businessman."Is it Ghazi? You sounded a bit worried on the phone.""It's just that...he's been distant lately, though he has been sexually fulfilling." I shrugged with a little smile on my face, remembering our last intimate session. "He's also been very generous, but there were these calls...oh Jacqueline, I'm so overwhelmed with his affection that I don't know if I'm overanalyzing stuff or if he's keeping something from me."Jacqueline pu
The Professional Bed Warmer 56. Ghazi feels bad
I nearly panicked when I was told that Remy left the building, walked around the nearby area and now sitting in a park, alone, in the dark. I was glad that I had one of our men watching him. He reported earlier that Remy met with Jacqueline for coffee, before going straight back to the apartment. But afterward, he just walked around aimlessly. I tried calling his phone but he was not picking up, only to find out later that he left it on the kitchen counter.Now that I have him in my arms I should feel better, but instead, I feel horrible, thinking everything was somehow my fault. Even our intimacy seemed different like there was something more that he was keeping from me. He felt fragile in my arms, sensing that he could break any moment. I still didn't get why he kept on thinking that I would leave him. The guilt was so much that I decided to just hold him."Why don't you take a nap, I'll order dinner. Okay?"When I was back, Remy was wide awake. His eyes were
The Professional Bed Warmer 57. Remy was in for a surprise
I said no to Bora Bora, I need to learn not to keep my hopes up. I told Ghazi to focus on his work while I promised to keep myself busy by working at the new store. I forced myself to contact the interior designer he suggested and put Ghazi's black card to good use. At least when he's done with me he'd have the place renovated and ready to be leased out or even sold.My chest still hurt with the longing. I heard him say that he was mine, but people changed their minds every day. Feelings could change and I know it'll be a question of when rather than if. I love the guy and I would never entrapped him to spend his life when he can be happy with someone else."Remy, I still think you should talk to him. You don't look happy." Jacqueline said from the other side of the screen when her video call came through."I...I am happy. It's just... this is me, Jacqueline. This is not the first time, people will eventually get bored with me.""Oh honey, I'd never..."
The Professional Bed Warmer 58. Remy went on a trip
My heart warmed seeing Remy curled up to my side when I woke up the next day. He looked perfectly handsome even with his eyes closed. I carefully scooted away and let him take my pillow, curling it to his chest before he was back to let out the cutest little snoring sounds.My meeting was scheduled at noon, a luncheon with my father's business partners that would benefit when I ended everything with my uncles. I met a couple of them, several times when Dad was still alive. Though my parents' disappearance is still a mystery, it was common knowledge now that I suspected my uncles had something to do with it.I needed to nip them in the bud. I needed to make sure my uncles wouldn't ruin my plans. They said that they knew the organization better than me, but what my uncles' didn't know was that I keep in touch with my parents' colleagues. Those who had been screwed by my uncles. I had been going behind my uncles back for years, dealing businesses with them, feeding them l

"We've been trying to find out who has been stalking her. And we know that she went with you to Capri and we know that you deal with various kinds of organization." Grady one of Jacqueline's boyfriends explained. His twin brother, Percy, was looking out the floor-to-ceiling window of their penthouse seeming deep in thought.Okay...if they're saying that Jacqueline has a stalker then I need to investigate further. Because now I have Remy living with me. My boyfriend was hurriedly ushered upstairs by Jacqueline the moment we arrived at their penthouse."I'm in the middle of bringing down important people in my organization. But I will look into Jacqueline's issue, she's been nothing but kind to me and Remy. And now that I have Remy living with me, if someone from my side is stalking her then Remy too can be threatened.""Is there an immediate threat that made you want to shake things up?"
