My Two Billionaire Husbands: A Plan for Revenge-Chapter 24: Naked Man

Ric watched Cammy, who was completely out, sleeping so peacefully that it was hard to believe she had been battling her own raging storm within her mind and heart, possibly including her soul.

"I promise I’ll do everything to help you through this storm, Cammy. Soon, you won’t need to drink just to find this kind of peace. Just hold on a little longer, and this will all be just a rough patch in your past.

We’ll build our new life together with Dylan. I’ll take care of both of you," Ric whispered, placing a soft kiss on her forehead before gently laying her on the bed.

After tidying up the place, he stepped outside to call the resort’s night shift manager.

"Did you find out anything?" Ric asked.

[One staff member said she stayed in the villa all night, and another saw her leaving just before dawn.]

"Good work. Pay them enough to keep quiet, and offer a more high-paying position to one of my restaurants, far away from the resort. My assistant will finalize their contracts and get them to sign a Non-disclosure Agreement tied to their contract. Let’s keep this clean and blood-free, if possible."

[Understood, Ric. I’ll wait for your assistant to reach out.]

After the call, Ric phoned his assistant, providing instructions before returning to the apartment.

The next day in Pearl Resort...

Ellie was meant to have two consecutive days off, but when two staff members suddenly handed in their resignation letters, she had to come in the next day to reassign their duties.

"Ugh! These people are giving me a headache. Couldn’t they have waited until the summer was over before leaving? It’s just a week away! They’re really making me angry!" Ellie vented in the reception area, thinking it was just her and a few staff members around.

Ellie heard someone clear his throat and quickly spun around, a welcoming smile already on her face as she greeted the handsome, wealthy-looking guest. "Good morning, sir! How can we assist you?"

"Good morning. I was wondering if Cammy has returned to the resort?"

Ellie struggled to maintain her smile, trying to hide her surprise at the unexpected question from this unfamiliar man. "I’m sorry, Cammy who?"

One of the receptionists leaned in and whispered, "He’s asking about Miss Cammy, your friend."

Ellie discreetly nudged the receptionist’s leg, signaling her to stop, but it was too late—Greg had already overheard.

"The staff here mentioned yesterday that she’s a regular guest. I figured you’d know her. A beautiful woman like her is hard to miss, especially if she’s a frequent visitor."

"May I ask who’s inquiring, sir? As you know, our resort has a strict privacy policy. We can’t disclose guest information, as it could compromise both their safety and our jobs. I hope you understand," Ellie replied confidently.

Greg clicked his tongue, placing his hands on his hips before nodding. "I understand. You’re right—security is important. Just to be clear, I’m not a bad guy. I was with her the other night, and she left something in my room. I just want to return it to her personally if possible."

"How about this—I’ll inform her about your request and ask her to contact you if she wishes. However, if she chooses not to, I’m afraid I cannot force her to do anything against her will," Ellie offered.

Greg smirked and nodded, "Fair enough. That seems reasonable. I’ll accept that, thank you."

’Damn it! These people are really trying to keep me away from her. But I have my ways, just you all wait,’ Greg thought to himself.

"May I have your name so I can inform our guest?" Ellie asked nicely and wondered, ’What the hell did you do Cammy?’

"Just tell her that Greg has something that belongs to her. She’ll know what it is," Greg replied with a devilish smirk before turning around and leaving without another word, causing Ellie’s expression to sour.

’Wow, the arrogance! This is why I prefer Ric for Cammy. I know he’ll take care of her, unlike some of these other rich guys,’ Ellie thought, raising an eyebrow as she watched Greg walk away before heading to her office.

As soon as Ellie sat down in her office chair, she quickly dialed Cammy’s number, only to find it was turned off.

Ellie sighed, thinking, "She probably had such a good time with Ric last night that she forgot to charge her phone." She then powered up her computer to begin working, reminding herself to try calling Cammy again later.

At Cammy’s Apartment...

Cammy awoke to the aroma of coffee, and her eyes snapped open, though her head throbbed just as it had after her night with Greg. Despite the pain, she forced herself to look around, searching for the source of the enticing scent.

’Right...’ It all came back to her—who she was with last night before she passed out. Her gaze shifted toward the kitchen, where she saw Ric, shirtless, making coffee.

She was about to get up when someone knocked at the door. She watched as Ric walked over to answer it, she tried to stop him, but he didn’t seem to notice she was awake.

"Oh!"

That was all she heard from Eve, who stood at the door, her eyes roving over Ric from head to toe, clearly appreciating his perfectly sculpted six-pack abs.

"Can I help you?" Ric asked, snapping Eve out of her trance.

"Eve!" Cammy called out, quickly getting up and heading to the door.

Eve raised her hands, showing the plastic bags she was holding. "I saw the lights on late last night and noticed some laundry outside this morning, so I figured you stayed here. But I did not know you have your husband here so—" freeweɓnøvel.com

"He’s not my husband!" Cammy blurted out, louder than she planned, surprising both Ric and Eve.

"Oookay... As I was saying, I didn’t realize you had company, so I only brought two ramen for breakfast. But hang on, I’ll be right back. I’ll grab another one downstairs!" Eve said, handing the bags to Cammy before quickly heading out, not giving her a chance to protest.

"Hmm, she thought I’m your husband... I kinda like the sound of that," Ric quipped while grinning, genuinely happy about it.

Cammy turned to Ric, frowning. "Why are you naked? I promised the landlord I’d be a good tenant, and now there’s a naked man in my apartment."

"I’m not naked; I’m wearing pants. You threw up on my shirt last night and the spare one I brought, so I had to wash them and hang them outside since you don’t have a washer and dryer yet," Ric explained.

Her frown vanished, replaced by a deep blush. Her irritation and suspicion quickly gave way to embarrassment. "Oh my gosh! I did that last night? I’m so sorry!"

"If you’re really sorry, make it up to me by spending some time with me," Ric urged.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Spend the day with me. I already talked to Felicity this morning—she’s looking after the three kids and planned to take them to the zoo since Ellie had to cancel her day off today."

"Ric, are you asking me out on a date?" Cammy asked, still unsure of what he was suggesting.
