Note: In this chapter I want to tell you a little about what happened to Yusuf to make that decision, I decided to do it in homage to those homosexual men of antiquity taking advantage of the fact that we are in Pride Month.

How they met

Alexander? If you ask me about him, he was the most beautiful boy I could ever meet. When I went to the Turkish baths with my father on some occasions, I couldn't help but get excited in my teenage years with one or another boy who attracted me at specific times, but despite that, I attributed it to the temptations of the devil. At night, he would hit me with a whip, causing harm to myself because of such an aberration on my part.

The next day I was taking my usual ritual purification to go to the mosque. And it was one day when I was leaving the market to carry some merchandise for my father when I met him. He was handsome, with a fine face, he was a foreigner who worked for a very rich Effendi and was his right hand man.

-So this is all?- Alexander asked, seeing that I was taking a while to exchange words.

-Yes, yes... eh... that's what my father sent.- I couldn't stop looking at him, his body was similar to those Greek statues.

-You're new to that right?- he asked me blushing.

-Why do you deduce that I am a foreigner? Don't you know whose son I am? - Seeing that I was the son of an important vizier, I decided to humiliate him with my words.

-I really don't know whose son you are, that's not what I asked you, I asked if you're new to that. - What nerve that boy had, my blood boiled inside with such audacity.

-What's your name, boy? I said, annoyed.

-Alexander, to be of service, I meant no disrespect, but this wine seems not to be properly fermented. Uncorking a bottle and letting me smell it.

-That can happen to anyone, come with me.

-Me? he asked strangely.

-Who else is here?

From that moment on, I looked for a thousand and one excuses to be close to him until I got my father to buy that place and I became the owner with the excuse of living there constantly supervising personally and sharing with Alexander.

----------

-Damn, you're a faggot! - Suddenly I received a few blows from my wife's brother, Prince Murat, we trust you and this is what you do behind my father's back? - I received a blow to my testicles from my brother-in-law leaving me crying in pain.

While he was lying on the ground in pain, the prince told Alexander to wait outside with one of his guards because if he escaped he would kill him.

-You're lucky, I was looking for you for something and look how I found you, but you know what? -he grabbed his chin- I'm not going to give you away.

-Why? -I asked scared.

-Your father has many businesses and I like money, if you tell me where his money comes from I will not give them away, in fact I am going to take your lover to be my personal guard and keep an eye on him, and if you say anything about this I will kill him.

-You're a son of a... - I held back- I breathed- I'll do it, I'll tell you everything but don't kill him.

-I'm listening- he said-

-My father has shady business with something called "Laudanum" it is a kind of liquid that causes many effects, I really have not wanted to get into that business, but my father only asks me to go and withdraw the money from the merchandise that comes from Anatolia. I swear I don't know anything else, my father is very discreet and doesn't trust me, he only asks me to look for the money, and I have heard this from his friends but he hasn't told me directly. -I tell him while I cover my face-

-I don't think that's the only thing.

-You can ask anyone and you will see that I spend my time in the bar and at the university I only collect that money every 10 days, in the Bosphorus different sailors give it to me every time.}

-Okay, I'll believe you, but your girlfriend will be with me the whole time while I rectify your information, and you won't see him anymore. If you really love him so much, go and be a real man and fulfill your obligation as a husband, my sister doesn't deserve that. If not--- he grabs me by the suit and lifts me up- Not only your lover will die, but you too--- he throws me- Have a nice day.

and leaves the cleaning room.

Days later:

My father invites me to a speakeasy with some friends to talk business,

In a seedy bar we were all dressed up because we are easy prey for scandal, suddenly with enough alcohol under us some girls, apparently Russian, approached the table:

-Son, my father speaks to me- You have been married for a long time but you have not gotten your wife pregnant.- His friends laugh, my father is very serious but when he drinks alcohol he becomes very intense-

-Father, we are newly married, be patient.

-Don't you understand who you're married to, you idiot? She's the Sultan's favorite daughter, you have to win his favor with an heir, a grandson.- he gives me a little punch on the shoulder-

-She is a Sultana and I am a servant, I can't do anything else.- I say to get it off my back but I think I'm making it worse-

-Son, you have to seduce your wife, you are a man, show her who is in charge, even if she is a Sultana, you are a man, and it is written that way, she has to obey you.

-Father, if you have read the scriptures, you will notice that we have to treat our wives well.

-Are you going to teach me about writing? I am your father and he gets angry. You are going to give me an heir, if that means you have to take your wife by force.-He calms down with the arrival of one of the women.

-Although - my father says- I don't think it's necessary, she will teach you what to do.- and he extends the woman's hand towards me.-

-No father, that is Haram.

-In paradise we will have a whole Harem, they are slaves we can have with them whatever we want, besides they are not even Muslims. Go coward.

-You know what dad? I'm a married man, I'm not going to commit that crime. And he picked me up.

-Okay, I'll tolerate you not wanting to have fun, but... if you don't give me an heir as soon as possible, I'll send you to Anatolia and there you won't be able to study medicine, so you'll try as many days as necessary to get your wife pregnant or I'll exile you and you know very well that I can do it.

I can't believe I'm doubly threatened, all for not being like everyone else...
