Chapter 128:
We spent more time talking about her men than her issues with the hot twins. I felt guilty now that I knew about her problems, her parents, and the fact that she even had a stalker. I noticed one of her bodyguards lurking by our table. “Ugh… I don’t know how much longer we can meet up like this,” she said, her eyes scanning the room with annoyance.
“Oh my god, Jacqueline, you should’ve told me. I can go to your place if it means you’ll be safer there. We can have your favorite coffee delivered,” I suggested, trying to cheer her up, though my thoughts were a jumbled mess inside me.
“Argh… stop talking like my boyfriends. Find the newest release on
They’d keep me locked up in the penthouse if they could.” Jacqueline huffed, clearly irritated, and I couldn’t help feeling a pang of jealousy at the twins’ possessiveness. Not that I didn’t think Ghazi wouldn’t act the same, but still. After overhearing Ghazi’s conversation with Zal, I couldn’t shake the familiar worry that he might get back with his ex. It had happened before, and I was just his boy toy until he eventually grew bored with me.
That afternoon, I spent a couple of hours talking to Jacqueline. I tried to be as cheerful as I could, knowing she too had been dealing with her own issues. Eventually, she had to leave, and I reluctantly made my way back to Ghazi’s.
The moment I reached his place, I decided to keep myself busy. I browsed online, keeping up with my shop and new designs. But with all the distractions, my mind kept wandering back to him.
My thoughts became clouded with dread when the realization hit me: Ghazi had been gone for hours. He said he was working and meeting up with Zal. Immediately, my mind went to him meeting his ex. Every single time. When I couldn’t take it anymore, I decided to go for a walk. I didn’t even remember to grab my phone. I was so upset that I just kept walking, not stopping until the sun had set, finally sitting on a bench in a deserted park.
It was getting cold, but I sighed, leaning back against the bench, staring out at the empty darkness of the park and reflecting on my life. My whole pathetic existence. Did I have what it took to be with someone who still cared about his ex? Did I really want to go down that road again? I shuddered as the cold seeped through my clothes, my fingers growing numb.
Then, I heard footsteps approaching.
I didn’t bother to look back. Honestly, I couldn’t care less what happened to me. Ghazi would be sad for a couple of days, but then he’d go back to his ex, and maybe that wouldn’t be such a bad thing for him.
“Remy? Why didn’t you take your phone with you?” His familiar, soothing voice came from behind me. I didn’t even ask how he found me. I just let him drape his jacket over my shoulders and wrap his arm around me.

The familiar scent of his cologne made me inch closer to his side. I rested my cheek on his shoulder, said nothing, and let my tears fall.
“Hey, what’s wrong, baby p>
“Just hold me. Please.” I rested my hand across his waist and let my body melt into his closeness. I loved him. So much that I’d take anything he’d give me, even if it was only for a short time. Maybe until he got back to his ex or found another handsome guy who could capture his attention and love. I was, after all, just Remy. No one would want me as their forever. I might wish for it, but I knew it was just a stupid dream.
“You’re freezing. Come on, let’s get you back and get you warm p>
I didn’t argue.
There was no point. So I let him guide me back to his car. Ghazi sat in the back with me as he instructed his driver to take us back to his apartment.
“Remy, will you tell me what’s wrong?” Ghazi asked once we were settled in his bedroom. He pulled me under the covers, pressing his warm body against mine.
