Asher jolted awake, his sudden awakening spurred by the frigid breeze that had usurped the warmth on the side of the bed he had occupied just moments ago. His initial confusion gave way to a groggy awareness of the situation. His recollection was hazy, but he had engaged in intimate activities with someone last night, despite the alcohol-induced fog that had enveloped his senses. A knot of worry tightened within him as he considered the unexpected presence in his bed. He pushed himself upright with a sense of urgency, worried that perhaps this woman had overstayed her welcome, a potential inconvenience he had rarely tolerated. Asher was notorious for escorting his liaisons to separate rooms after their encounters. While some took this as a sign of hospitality, others saw it as a strict barrier, not appreciating that it was merely his habit to avoid post-coital cuddling and any false impressions of commitment. This particular guest seemed to have misconstrued his intentions. The remnan

Asher found himself plunged into a sea of indignation and insult, an emotion he had seldom experienced throughout the entirety of his existence. It was as if the universe had conspired to deliver an affront of unparalleled magnitude. This woman, who dared to assail his pride so brazenly, seemed to operate under the misconception that she could undermine him with impunity. Little did she know that her actions had unwittingly sparked a conflict of epic proportions. Asher, harboring a determination that bordered on the relentless, was resolute in ensuring that her existence would be marred by misery and regret. He vowed to make her beg for mercy, to etch his name indelibly into her memory, a moniker she would never be able to forget. Amidst this tempest of emotions, his steadfast driver, a valuable member of his security team, hastened to his side. With a respectful nod, the driver positioned himself to Asher's left, awaiting the next set of directives. The unique advantage of having you

As Adina gazed at her reflection in the mirror, a wave of contentment washed over her, unlike anything she had felt in days. She held a profound appreciation for Ruan, whose gentle nature meant he never imposed anything on her unless it was absolutely essential. Makeup was a case in point. Most of the time, it left her face feeling heavy and inauthentic; she preferred a natural appearance. Remarkably, Ruan had even mastered the art of makeup, ensuring that it enhanced her natural beauty. With a grin, he playfully remarked, "We ought to address those tired eyes, trust me." Adina's trust in him went deeper than she sometimes trusted herself. He led her to the bathroom, where he expertly applied contour, mascara, and a subtle lip tint. Adina couldn't deny the transformation; she felt undeniably sexier. It was amazing how a touch of makeup could have such a profound impact on one's self-esteem. Ruan guided her out of the bedroom after allowing her ample time to admire herself in the mirr

Adina didn't care about the age of the man who had rudely intruded into her life. She was seething with anger at his audacity to interfere in her affairs. If he had any grievances or issues to discuss with her, she wished he had the maturity to approach her directly instead of prying into her personal life. This intrusive and obnoxious man had no right to pass judgment.What infuriated Adina even more was the fact that she was now pregnant with his child, and she had deliberately chosen not to inform him of her pregnancy. She had no intention of going down that road, dealing with him and his immaturity. Even a blind person could see how open and genuine Ruan was about his sexual orientation. The man who had prided himself on probing her personal life had proven to be insensitive and oblivious, unable to recognize the direction of his own feelings, even with all the clues presented to him.Adina lay on her bed, contemplating the situation, when a soft knock sounded from her door. Witho

A few months later, Adina found herself immersed in what could only be described as the most serene period of her life. She had embraced the job opportunity that Ruan had been subtly nudging her to consider for several months, and now, she found herself working side by side with him at the front desk of the LGBTQ community center. What made this moment all the more special was the delicate swell of her baby bump, a visible testament to the new life growing within her.For five months, she had relished the relief of not having that overbearing presence of a certain someone breathing down her neck. Ever since Asher had taken it upon himself to sabotage her employment prospects, Adina had faced a seemingly insurmountable wall of rejection every time she applied for a job. It was as though her name alone was a taboo in the eyes of prospective employers.However, the turning point arrived when she mustered the courage to approach the owner of the LGBTQ resources center
