60 — JULIAN ADAMS (POV)
I freeze in place, staring at the door — at the figure of my best friend standing there, looking at me almost innocently. And I shudder, noticing how he walks into the office saying, “I missed you two.”
A pang of guilt runs through my chest, cutting, lacerating.“Mike...” My voice fails, and I clench my hands into fists, then force myself to smile while he steps closer and Angelee moves away from me, taking long steps....My mouth is bitter.Damn.“Hi, sweetheart.” Mike approaches her, pulling her into a comforting hug. And the way she wraps her arms around his body, burying her face in the curve of his neck and shoulder, makes me feel even worse. “How are you?”“I'm fine, Dad.” She murmurs, her voice so low it barely reaches my ears. “I missed you.”I look away, staring at the floor, staring anywhere else...Honestly, I feel terrible. If before the guilt weighed myRelated chapters

“There's something going on, isn't there?” Mike asks, looking directly into my eyes.“What do you mean?” I clear my throat, taking a sip of the drink the bartender has just placed on the bar, already ordering another.“I know you well enough, and even if I didn't, I'd still know there's something going on with you.” He sighs and shakes his head. “You can tell me.”So this is a new way of torturing me…? Of punishing me for sleeping with your little girl? Well, I have to admit… It's really effective.I open my lips because I need to say it, but those words are stuck in my throat. Even though I sigh deeply and am convinced that I have to tell him, no sound rolls off my tongue. In fact, my mouth is so dry that I hasten the bartender to give me another shot.“Is it about your family?” He asks, looking down at the bar. “About your brother?”I roll my eyes, annoyance settling
Fallen for Daddy's Friend 62 — It hurts like hell…
I feel like the world is falling apart.Julian words had the force of a punch to the stomach. And I'm sure my heart missed a beat.My eyes burn.My hands shake. My whole body freezes, and I could swear the blood has frozen inside my veins.Even my throat dries, narrows, constricts.My mouth is suddenly bitter.Because here it is, the moment I feared the most… the moment when everything between us would end.Yes, it has come, and now that I'm listening to him say those painful words, I realize that was never prepared to hear them. Not fully. Not with the weight they carry… Not with the pain they cause in my heart…. with this deep sadness that consumes every part of my chest.Even though my eyes are burning, and maybe they're watering, I try hard… Even if my expression probably gives away how much it hurts, I really do my best to smile.But yeah, it really hurts.It hurts like hell…That's
Fallen for Daddy's Friend 63 — SEVEN YEARS AGO […]
[...] “Angel, I’m sorry for keeping this secret for so long. But I’m leaving this world, you need to know. It’s about your father…”I let out the smoke from the cigarette slowly. I’ve been sitting next to this grave for at least three hours… since my mother’s body was buried. I’m alone now. There weren’t many people grieving her death anymore, but now I’m completely alone, looking at this blue sky that doesn’t match such a sad day at all.Today, I lost the only person I had in this whole world.It was just the two of us, always.But now, it’s just me.… Or at least, that’s how I feel.I look at the letter in my hand, my mother’s perfect handwriting. Something she wrote, I don’t know exactly how long ago, but from the yellowing of the paper, I’m sure it was years ago. And the truth kept in those words is something hard to accept&hell
Fallen for Daddy's Friend 64 — What should I do now?
Honestly, I couldn't catch a minute of sleep. All I could think about was that day, seven years ago, when I met Julian and my father. It was winter, and I had just lost my mother. Alone in the world, I thought there was nothing left for me anywhere. But like a light, they appeared in my life and illuminated the darkness I was in. Remembering this brings up conflicting feelings that are hard to ignore.In a way, overthinking about it again and again has saved me from thinking about how my heart is aching. Julian was my first crush, my first love. But of course, in his eyes, I was nothing more than a brat he pitied… until my nineteenth birthday. However, what does it matter? Julian doesn't remember that night. He doesn't remember the reasons that made me give up these one-sided feelings of mine and move on.Although, I didn't really move on. My feelings for him stayed hidden, disguised, tucked away in a dusty drawer deep in my heart. They didn't die. They
Fallen for Daddy's Friend 65 — A really tempting offer
The Owner's question makes me open my eyes slightly and then blink a few times in silence… He also stays still, looking at my face with an amused expression. So gradually, I begin to understand exactly what's going on… and what his intentions are. It certainly makes my face burn.I open my lips to answer him, but hesitate for a moment. I feel a hard and painfully thud against my chest, a reminder that my broken heart is still too recent. And not only that. It's like the last four years have passed quickly in my mind — because I've been in a very familiar position before… so similar it makes me sick…When I ran away from my feelings and started a relationship with Eric.Since that time, my life has taken unexpected turns, and I have lost all sense of control.I don't want to repeat the same mistakes.That's why I give a sad, subtle smile and wither my shoulders… making his cheerful expression falter for a moment.
Fallen for Daddy's Friend 66 — “You know where to find me.”
I sigh deeply and give a discreet smile. “Nice try.”“Well, at least I tried.” Tyler shrugs his shoulders, then returns my smile. With a pat on the table, he stands up. “If you change your mind… you know where to find me.”I watch his broad back move away and can't help but check out the way his muscles mark his shirt. He must spend a lot of time in the gym, but… His body isn't like Julian's.Argh… No one is like Julian!I reach for my phone fearfully, with my heart pounding desperately in my chest… Now that I think about it, at that moment, Julian seemed about to ask me to lunch. But I was too scared, too afraid that his words would hurt me even more. So yeah, I ran away.Of course I ran away.With withered shoulders, I look at the screen of my phone, at the messages… There are none from Julian.My heart is so tight… I'm so sad that tears threaten to rise in my eyes and
Fallen for Daddy's Friend 67 — JULIAN ADAMS (POV)
I'm an idiot.I wish it was just the hangover that's hammering in my head, but there's a damn nagging in my chest… a sick feeling that's been bittering my mouth all morning. Because I know, I'm a fucking idiot.I shouldn't have said it like that. My chest felt heavy. The weight of guilt seemed to steal the air from my lungs… but this pain isn't close to how it hurts seeing that expression on her face.So I mulled over my words all day. I couldn't even focus on work. The meetings were a complete waste of time, as I don't remember anything that was said… I just keep remembering how Angelee looked at me when I said those damn words.It's been less than 24 hours, and I'm already regretting so much that I can't even stand still. I needed some excuse to see her, anything… I didn't care about the report, I just wanted to be close to her. But I messed up again.Why is it so hard to act rationally?When did it become so hard to
Fallen for Daddy's Friend 68 — “Why with her?”
By the time I get back to the restaurant, it's almost empty, although there are a few tables occupied with people who aren't interested in my presence, or in my watery and puffy eyes. That’s certainly a relief because that's exactly what I want — to disappear.But my sadness doesn't escape the attention of Tyler, who immediately withdraws from the counter and walks towards me. I sniffle, drying my eyelashes with my hands, entering with short, stumbling steps. And the next thing I know, he's already in front of me, holding my arms fondly, supporting my body that feels suddenly too heavy.“What happened?” Tyler asks me a bit worried… Even his voice trembles slightly.I open my mouth to answer him, but I'm at a loss for words… the only thing that comes out is a choked sob.Tyler sighs, looking around, noticing that people are starting to lift their gazes to me.“Do you want to go inside there?” I deny with my he
