Julian lowers his eyes as his hand slides along the curve of my waist… And thankfully, he doesn’t wait long to finally ask, “Do you really think so?”

“Of course, I do… You said yourself that it couldn’t have been better.” I caress his face and place a light kiss on his lips. “Do you regret your words?”

“Um, I don’t know... Maybe I should take it back?”

My eyebrows furrow, and he fights the silly grin that reveals how much he enjoys teasing me.

“Should I forget about your proposal then?”

“Well, you could forget it if you want... I’m sure I could convince you all over again.”

“You idiot.” I retort, threatening to turn my body, but Julian holds me tightly.

“Where are you going?”

“I love you... But I really need a shower right now.”

“Why?” Julian asks with a teasy tone. “Don&rsq

  • Fallen for Daddy's Friend   155 — “Be my wife, Angelee.”

    I can’t control my legs that abruptly rise out of the tub while my trembling hands grip the edge, making sure I don’t slip on the floor, which is wet from the water dropping off my body. I reach for the bathrobe quickly, wrapping the sticky fabric on my skin.But now that I’m standing a few steps from the door, I’m frozen in place, my heart pounding in my throat. I’m scared, with many doubts and intrusive, horrible thoughts dancing in my head.Why did he leave so suddenly? The look on his face... It’s like there’s something wrong. But there hadn’t been until a few moments ago.Was it something I said?What if Julian has regretted it? What if he’s thought it over and realized that this is a big, fast, thoughtless step?What if Julian no longer wants to marry me?I swallow hard and force my feet through the door, immediately leading me into the bedroom, to his broad back, also tight at his robe.

  • Fallen for Daddy's Friend    156 — I’m finally healing

    Be my wife, those were the words that escaped Julian’s lips... words I never thought I would hear.He used to be a playboy who won many hearts but never gave his heart away. Like my Dad used to say, a manwhore, with a lot of flings, one-night-stands... But that man asked me to marry him.I never thought we’d get this far. Lying next to Julian in this bed and looking at his sleeping, serene face after a rollercoaster of emotions seems like a dream to me… one of those that’s so good you don’t want to wake up.It seems so real that I can reach out to touch his face, the same hand that now holds a diamond ring. The most beautiful one I’ve ever seen in my life... the one Julian chose for me.I love you, future wife — these words bring tears to my eyes again, and I pull my lips back. I touch his face slowly, stroking his blond beard, darker than the hair that looks like strands of gold, and I move my touch up his cheek t

  • Fallen for Daddy's Friend   157 — JULIAN ADAMS (POV)

    “Why did you change your mind?” Mike asks on the other end of the line, sending me into a deep silence. “Dynamic CO. would have gotten away with it if I hadn’t released the information to the media. The former CEO has deep connections to politicians; they were trying to conceal the evidence and manipulate the right people. Still, not all the guilty parties were properly punished. The media made it impossible for the case to be hushed up, but the board decided to make the CEO the scapegoat for everyone’s mistake. He’s facing a major lawsuit for this, but incredibly, the other culprits were just reassigned. Losing your job with a clean reputation is definitely a better outcome than being tried and jailed in the middle of such a scandal. They also hide the names of the politicians involved, but anyway, this is a good close. I didn’t intend to get involved, though, in the end, things turned out better than expected... We managed to buy the compa

  • Fallen for Daddy's Friend   158 — Give him pleasure

    I wake up to a loud sigh and the rustling of curtains. I can’t say I’m a light sleeper, but today, even the fall of a feather seems to make me open my heavy, sleepy eyes... and I find Julian’s broad back just right there, on the balcony, with the moonlight illuminating his skin.Standing up softly, I approach with slow steps, hoping that he will turn and greet me with his usual brilliant smile. But he doesn’t. Julian seems to be absorbed in deep thought, so much so that when I stop at the balcony door, he keeps his eyes downcast.From where I’m standing, I can see that he’s looking at his cell phone, but I don’t know what. Whatever it is, it’s giving him a reflective, strangely introspective expression.A few long moments pass while I’m observing his unshaven face and his eyes that shut a few times with restrained tears.But since he still doesn’t seem to notice me, I approach him even more and call out

  • Fallen for Daddy's Friend   159 — “Does it feel good to be fcked outside?”

    Julian’s words make me gasp, or maybe it’s the contrast between the heat of his body on my back and the cold of the railing against my belly.But soon, he pushes my hair away, and his lips meet the nape of my neck in a wet, indecent kiss, with his tongue flicking across my skin, making me breathe deeply again.He pulls my robe away with a swift, eager movement, showing off my bare shoulder, and quickly puts an equally seductive kiss there. I tilt my head to the side, and my gesture invites his mouth to my neck.Julian’s tongue slides across my skin, bringing me pleasurable goosebumps. He licks with his whole tongue, slowly, as if savoring my taste... then, his teeth nibble pleasurably, a light nibble that soon turns into a hickey that will surely leave its mark.Moving his hips forward and pressing the exposed erection behind me, he focuses on my shoulders again, trailing slow, wet kisses, sliding the robe down my arms until it exposes my breast

  • Fallen for Daddy's Friend   160 — Big day.

    When I finally managed to fall asleep, the sun had already risen. But that was no problem for Julian... as soon as he let go of those bombastic words, he fell into a deep sleep. His strong arm remained on me, holding me in a spoon while his heavy breathing tickled the back of my neck and possibly my chest.I was anxious… my heart was fluttering and uncertain. My father didn’t react in the best possible way to my relationship with Julian, but I can’t blame him for that. In fact, I think he responded better than expected. His cold shoulder to his best friend was understandable... and I confess, I also expected him to resent me.But things have finally started to settle down, I think. Julian and Daddy seem to be on good terms, but I’m scared that the news of my pregnancy will upset this little bit of progress. No, it can end things for good. I’m not going to lie… the thought of it scares me.My father is the only family I have left.

  • Fallen for Daddy's Friend   161 — Adams engagement

    My father somehow looks different tonight. I can see feelings shining in his brown eyes, so similar to mine, and I can swear that it’s slightly wet with tears that he refuses to shed.There’s not a hair out of place in the elegant hairstyle or a wrinkle in the extremely fancy blue suit. Although Dad and Julian have a few billion dollars in assets, they don’t show it off. Of course, there’s no denying that they live comfortably and have an extremely luxurious lifestyle, but beyond what money can buy, Father tries to enjoy the things he wants without prying eyes on what’s in his pockets. And maybe because Julian admires him so much, he also carries this light-hearted personality.That’s why it’s such a surprise to be called into a restaurant like this now. It’s not the first time Dad has taken me to places like this, but every time, it feels like a first. My nerves get rattled, and my legs feel shaky. Even now, I feel a little

  • Fallen for Daddy's Friend   162 — Are you happy for us?

    Julian tenses up. His breathing becomes heavy, deep, and slow.His family has always been a sensitive and somewhat mysterious topic. We don’t talk about it, and even though I’ve grown interested in the Adams, I haven’t found the perfect moment to ask about it. I know they stopped talking for a while after I arrived in New York, but it was always a mystery why they fought and drifted apart. I thought it was because of his closeness to my father, but I’m not so sure anymore. Some questions have been on my mind for some time, but I try to avoid thinking about them.Now, my father is bringing up the subject in such a serious way that I feel insecure. Julian seems really defensive about such a simple and innocent question, and I confess that it makes me uncomfortable. I know we’ve sworn not to keep secrets from each other, but there still seem to be some truths hidden up our sleeves. I just hope this isn’t some big and scary skeleton in the c

    “Jackie, Lizzie, stop running like that… you could get hurt!” I shout, putting my hands on my waist. They are laughing, hiding their smiles behind their little hands. But despite this, they go running back down the sandy beach, making my heart rise to my throat.They grow up so fast! Two years and seven months ago, they were so small in my arms, and now they’re running around our house in Nassau, their blond hair ruffling in the pleasant wind.Just as we promised, we created a little tradition in our family; every year, during our wedding anniversary, we bring the children with us. It’s the second time they’ve been here, and this time, we’ve decided to invite the people closest to us to enjoy this paradise.“This place is really wonderful!” Cathy says behind me, stroking her big belly. I look over my glasses and quickly take them off. “Seriously, I really appreciate you inviting me... I’d really go mad

  • Fallen for Daddy's Friend   MICHAEL — Always by your side.

    As soon as the meeting is over, I feel my tense shoulders relax. My head is throbbing, a pain that has haunted me since last night when I received a call from my father.Apparently, his retirement has been announced. He will continue as chairman for another six months just to organize everything until his departure.The problem is that he still hasn’t announced a successor. The board is desperate because of the options, as none of them have the necessary qualifications to be the group’s new chairman. Of course, that’s just a sadistic strategy to get them on their toes and accept Dominic O’Neil’s desire.Apparently, my half-brother is taking victory for granted, telling everyone that he will be my father’s successor and that the group belongs to him. With the news of Father’s retirement reaching the knowledge of the media, it won’t be long before he finally names me as the new chairman.When I accepted Dominic’

    The doorbell jangles, announcing my arrival. And as always, the moment people look in my direction, without interest, almost by instinct, their eyes widen, and the whispering begins. After all, I am a supermodel. My face is all over Times Square. I don’t have the luxury of privacy, of an anonymous life.Still, why am I here?My blue eyes meet the owner of this place; he’s distracted by another customer, smiling easily.My stomach twists, and I feel suddenly nervous.The whispers reach his ears, and he looks at me. It takes a few seconds for his face to show a reaction, but soon, the smile rises to his eyes, following me while I cross the coffee shop to the table at the back.I sit down and hide my face behind the menu, my cheeks burning for a reason unknown to me.Dammit, I look like a teenager. It’s not like it was the first time I’ve woken up in a man’s bed after a few drinks. And it certainly wasn’t the first time

  • Fallen for Daddy's Friend   HONEYMOON — PART III

    It took a year before we could really enjoy some time alone on a honeymoon, but I have to say that it was really worth the wait. Julian made sure that our first day in Nassau, at our new beach home, was special and unforgettable.First, he invited me on a yacht ride. Going down to the deck was itself a memorable experience. This place is simply breathtaking, and the private beach is so beautiful that I couldn’t help but imagine my daughters playing in the sand. The thought made my chest warm. I already consider this place a second home.To my surprise, Julian prepared a wonderful breakfast while the 65-foot yacht cruised along the coast with everything you could wish for — fruit, bread, juices, coffee, and ending the tour with a glass of wine in one of the cabins. Fortunately, the sound of the sea drowned out my moans enough for us to enjoy some sex on the high seas.After the tour, it was lunchtime, and Julian took us to Paradise Island. He chose a luxuri

    They say the Bahamas are paradise on earth, and I couldn’t find a better word to describe this place. I’ve never seen anything so beautiful in my life.As soon as we arrived at Nassau airport, a car was waiting for us. The weather is really nice here, even though it’s winter. Although I like snow, it’s nice to feel the warm weather enveloping my skin... I wish the girls were here… the cold makes them so sensitive.Thinking about them makes me feel a bit down. My heart squeezes, and I try to think that it’s only for two days and that soon they’ll be in my arms again, but still, I miss them. It’s an almost unbearable feeling. I wonder how they’re doing, if they miss us, and if they’re crying right now...But I know that Julian and I need this. It’s the opportunity to enjoy a real honeymoon, which we haven’t had before. Some would think that it’s a shame to celebrate it after so long, with the

    — ANGELEE ADAMS (POV)ㅤ“How are you feeling?” Julian asks for the first time since we got on the plane. The trip to the Bahamas doesn’t take long, about three hours, but we’re reaching our destination soon.“I’m fine,” I say, taking Julian’s hand in mine. I stroke the white-gold ring on his finger, but I’m still lost in thought.“You seem to have a lot on your mind.” He says, studying my face.“A little.” I give a nervous smile and shrug. I thought I’d be scared to see Laura, to hear the words she said to me that day, but I didn’t.”“What’s bothering you, then?” Julian’s question makes me raise my eyes again.“More than being afraid of Laura, I was afraid of losing the people I love again,” I confess, noticing that his gaze softens. “Losing you, our daughters... I couldn’t bear it.”&ldquo

  • Fallen for Daddy's Friend   AFTER STORY — PART II

    — ANGELEE ADAMS (POV)ㅤㅤFor the past seven months, I’ve wondered what happened to Laura.What happened after she left by the stairs? What happened to her twisted mind?I knew that she had been temporarily arrested for trespassing and assault, but Julian and my father tried hard to keep the details away from me. Perhaps that’s why the subject never really seemed a closure to me.Unfortunately, as much as I fought against it and didn’t want to admit it, for the last seven months, that day has tormented me.When I held my daughters in my arms for the first time, I swore to myself that I wouldn’t let Laura get to me. And I really tried to deny it, to convince myself that it was enough just to let go and focus on my family — but I couldn’t, and I hate myself for being weak to that extent.Finding out that Laura would spend her time in a mental institution wasn’t really a surprise. I knew there was s

    — JULIAN ADAMS (POV)[...] Seven months later.ㅤㅤI sigh deeply, massaging the top of my nose. Ever since I heard the verdict of Laura’s trial, I’ve been feeling uneasy.Many months have passed, and I still remember how I felt when I saw the building security cameras… and how I threw up, feeling stupid, weak, and furious.I’ve never felt so impotent in my entire life.But what really put me out of sleep was what happened the day Angelee woke up in the hospital... when Laura also decided to break into the J’O Tech building. I still get chills remembering that night.It’s been a long time since Laura was fired, but for some reason, her credentials worked. In the end, we really had to restructure the entire I.T. department, which resulted in a mass layoff that only didn’t make it into the media because of damage control.Laura got crazy when she knew that her plan to harm Angelee and my

    My eyes take a while to adjust to the brightness, but slowly, the blur goes away. I move my hands, feeling a weight on one of them.I blink a few times heavily, looking down carefully because I still feel a little dizzy, and see that Julian is sitting in an armchair next to the bed, holding my hand.He senses my movements and slowly opens his eyes, looking directly at me, taking a few moments for him to understand that I’m wide awake. When reality hits him hard, Julian’s eyes widen and glisten with tears.He doesn’t say a single word, just leans in, taking my hand in both of his, enveloping it in his warm palms, something I’ve really missed over the last two weeks. He rests his forehead on our hands, his tense shoulders immediately relaxing.“You really scared us, you know?” Julian grumbles, then looks up. I can see the deep, dark circles under his eyes. “You’ve been unconscious for two whole days!”Sudde
