It was Nash who was back at the apartment two days later, telling me that Lance was handling the situation with Jed and that I should have nothing to worry about. It was weird for me, but somehow I trusted the Daniels. Maybe it was because I had nothing to fall back into. I was at a point in my life where I just take it one day at a time.And I was secretly thankful that I was theirs for the rest of our agreement. I have a roof over my head, a cozy living space, and an allowance for meals and drinks. I just need to figure out what I was going to do once our arrangement ended. At the moment, I was just glad that I don't have to deal with Jed. Knowing Lance was taking care of the issue was giving me another level of relief.Unexpectedly, Jed hadn't confronted me at the club, and I didn't want to ask him about it either. Every day I hoped that I didn't meet him at the club. Miraculously, he was presumably busy with other stuff."What got you thinking so hard?" Nash asked while he opened

Later on that night, Nash took me out clubbing. It was a private gay club. With his living situation, I understand the need for privacy and he looked comfortable with himself as he publicly showed his affection toward me as if we were a true couple. Nash put his hand on my back as he stood behind me, ordering our drinks at the bar. Then he ushered me to sit on one of the stools as we take in the club vibe."I'm liking this side of you." I smiled at him as he took my drink from the bartender and put it in my hand."Let's start with something sweet," he said handing me the frozen mudslide."Oh! The adult milkshake," I grinned and thanked him, then took a good gulp of the sweet chocolatey flavor of the creamy alcohol beverage. Nash kissed my cheek and we drank while watching people dance.The dance floor was not packed but the ambiance was sexy. And with Nash standing behind me draping his arm on my shoulder it felt really nice. Jed never takes me on public dates and I've never felt the

After the fundraising event, Oscar went to my apartment. We had our hot as fuck sex, then he lingered in my apartment until the next day and I was happy because of it.Still, the situation was not favorable. I could still see that he was worried about being with me. He smiled like he always does when I handed him his cup of morning coffee.The man was looking sexy in my white shirt from last night. It was crumpled and half unbuttoned because some of them were missing from our last night's hot hot sex. The man looked like he belonged to me, half naked in my clothes. Mine."Robyn, my assistant suggested that we should take a vacation," I mentioned in passing, knowing he'd have a problem with someone knowing about us, rather than the actual idea of us going on an intimate vacation."Robyn, your assistant knows about us?" His face was white as a sheet and I couldn't help myself but reach for him and kissed the tip of his nose."She's been with

The blissful feeling of my idyllic mountain retreat with Oscar didn't last long. My mood quickly changed as my family was back to irritate me with the need to bombard me with their meddling in my personal life."So, did you meet any nice women while you were on your business trip?" Aunt Yasmin asked with a hopeful gleam in her eyes.Before I left, I had told Robyn to give my family an excuse for my secret getaway with Oscar, and Robyn being the perfect planner told them that I was going on a full week boring business convention. But now, being back means that I need to endure my family again. I felt a sense of frustration bubbling up on the inside. I had been trying to dodge their matchmaking attempts for years, and I was getting tired of pretending to be interested."Aunt Yasmin, I've told you that I'm busy. I will be married one day, just not in the near future," I told her, trying to keep my tone calm."But you're not getting any younger, Ghazi," Uncle

It had been a couple of weeks since our little impromptu meet with Oscar's sister Rena. Robyn was keeping tabs on her expenses and she reported that she was pleased with the money trail. Zal had taken her details and had taken compromising pictures of Rena and her surprising drug use. I didn't think she was one of those stereotypical socialites, I need to warn Oscar, she was still his sister. I know he still cares about her, no matter what she said the last time she caught us having dinner together.Work has been keeping me busy. Zal came second in line after Robyn. Keeping up a legal front of a business can be time-consuming, all while knowing that I had to keep my trusted people close. Money was coming in, though my aunts and uncles did not have difficulties in sending them out."You say the strangest thing Zal, I've known you since we were kids. Don't think I don't know that you're hiding something from me." The man looked at me kind of surprised. Of course, I know
