Someone knocked on the door. Instantly, I got off Khalil, not caring if he saw me naked. I swiftly collected each piece of clothing and dressed myself. He also got dressed and, as soon as he finished, walked to the door and opened it. The man who was always with him entered the office and looked me up and down.
"Said, get some women's clothing and bring it for Miss Valeria." Khalil ordered.
"Yes, sir, but before I go, you have a visitor."
Said barely closed his mouth when a very beautiful woman walked into the office. Her gaze fell on me, and a certain anger was written across her face.
"Ayla." I heard Khalil whisper.
"Do what I asked, but first show one of the rooms so that Valeria can settle in, and you can dismiss the staff." Khalil sat down, and the woman did the same, all the while looking at me.
I left the room and walked outside, following Said. As we reached a certain point in the hallway where there were several rooms, he suddenly grabbed my arms.
"Listen to me, miss. If you don’t want problems, you’d better leave here with your maid friends." he said, anger in his voice.
"Let go of me, you're hurting me." I freed myself from his grip.
"Stay away from the sheikh. This is a warning." he added, looking at me with a serious expression. "My master deserves someone better than a mere maid." he looked me up and down again with a hint of disgust.
"Why are you threatening me, Said? What have I done to you?" I asked, trying to remain calm while rubbing the place he had squeezed. I was certain it would leave the mark of his fingers.
Said looked at me with a mix of disdain and exasperation.
"You really don’t understand, do you?" he murmured, more to himself than to me. "Ayla is the woman Khalil is supposed to marry. She has a strong bond with him, and your presence here threatens that balance. I’m trying to prevent you from ruining this."
"Ruin? I don’t want to cause trouble for anyone." I retorted, crossing my arms. "I’m just here to work."
Said took a step back, taking a deep breath.
"You’re already causing problems." he said coldly. "If Ayla realizes that Khalil has any interest in you, she will do anything to destroy you. I’m warning you because I want Khalil to marry her, as is expected. Your presence only complicates matters. And don’t lie to me; I know something happened between you and my master. Otherwise, why would he be sending for you? Leave!" he growled.
I watched him as he walked away down the hallway, vanishing from sight. Said's words echoed in my mind. He was clearly in favor of Khalil marrying Ayla and saw my presence as a threat to that.
I retraced my steps down the hallway, finding the girls who were already on the private jet. Said was watching me from a distance. I looked at him and quickly looked away. They all had their payments in hand.
"Here." Laiana extended her hand, handing me an envelope with my payment. "Before you ask," Said asked me to give this to you."He said you were busy and couldn’t hand it to you personally."
I took the envelope and tucked it away in my bag, trying to ignore the growing sense of discomfort inside me. We arrived home hours later. I opened the door and entered, sitting on the couch. Finally, I allowed myself to close my eyes, running my hands over my stomach, trying to find some solace.
Everything felt so complicated. I was carrying a huge secret and Khalil's presence still haunted my thoughts. The threat from Said echoed in my mind, but I couldn’t shake off the memory of Khalil’s gaze, the way he touched me, the desire I felt.
"What do I do now?" I whispered to myself, feeling tears threaten to spill. I knew I needed to decide, but the fear of making the wrong choice paralyzed me.
Minutes passed and I finally got up, determined to take care of myself and my baby. No matter what happened, I needed to be strong. I had to find a way to protect us, even if it meant leaving Khalil behind.
Deep down, however, I knew that forgetting him would be impossible.
I dragged myself to the bedroom, took a long shower, running my hands over my body, retracing the path where Khalil's hands had traveled. My body still burned at the thought of his kisses sweeping over every inch of my skin. The hot water cascaded over me, but nothing seemed capable of extinguishing the sensation of his touches.
I closed my eyes, allowing myself to relive that moment for a moment. It was impossible not to feel a whirlwind of emotions, desire, and confusion.
I let my hands find my sensitive spot, and with my fingers, I gently massaged my clitoris. My lips parted in a perfect "O," my breath was ragged, my body trembling from the touch as I thought of him, crying out his name, until I felt the warm liquid trickle down my legs. In that moment, I reached climax, simply from thinking about that man's hands on me.
I waited for my heart to calm down and stepped out of the shower. I wrapped myself in a towel and went to the mirror. I stared at my reflection, seeing the sparkle in my eyes that hadn't been there before. I touched my belly again, reminding myself of the life growing within me. Reality hit me hard – I needed to be strong, not just for myself, but for the baby.
I dressed in comfortable clothes and lay down on the bed, trying to calm my mind. My encounter with Khalil had changed everything. He was increasingly present in my thoughts, and I didn't know how to deal with it.
Finally, I decided I needed to think about what was best for my future and that of my child. I fell asleep with those thoughts, knowing that no matter what happened, I would face whatever came my way with courage and determination. Not just for myself, but for him.
...🌞***🌞...
I woke up the next day a little later, with that dreaded heartburn bothering me. I got up and walked to the bathroom, taking a long shower to try to relieve the discomfort. Afterwards, I brushed my teeth, trying to ignore the nausea that seemed to insist on following me.
The morning routine now included more breaks to rest and take deep breaths, as my body was becoming more demanding. After my shower, I dressed in comfortable clothes and headed to the kitchen. I made a ginger tea, hoping it would help ease the heartburn. I sat at the table, trying to savor the tea while my thoughts drifted.
My mind returned to Khalil and everything that had happened the day before. I knew I couldn't simply ignore the situation, but at the same time, I needed to find a way to handle it without losing my mind. The responsibility growing inside me wouldn't allow me to act impulsively.
"I know what I’ll do, I’m leaving here." I said determinedly as I looked at my bag, where I had placed the envelope with the money.
