My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 025: The Royal Massager
We’re in my private elevator heading down to the basement, and all I can think about is Desiree. Her scent fills the small space, tempting me in ways that should be illegal. I don’t know the magic that comes with elevators, but being in such a tiny space with Desiree makes me want to kiss her.“Where are we going exactly?” she asks.“The basement,” I reply.From my side vision, I can see her rolling her eyes.“I know we're going to the basement, Caspian. I mean, where are we heading to from the basement?”“The streets.”She smiles and shakes her head. “I thought I was the joker around here. Yet here you are, outperforming me.”“I guess you're rubbing off on me, Desiree.”“Am I?” Her voice drops a little, playful, making it even harder to ignore how much she’s getting to me.“Maybe more than you realize,” I say.I sense her getting closer before I even see her move. The hairs on my arm stand up, and my pulse picks up speed. Then I feel it—her lips brushing softly against my ear. What i
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 026: A Predator Circling Her Prey
“Desiree,” I say, pulling away just enough to catch my breath. Her lips are still so close, waiting to grab mine again at any second. “What are you doing?”She arches an eyebrow, all innocence and mischief wrapped in one. “Kissing you.”“Are you trying to seduce me?”A sly smile tugs at the corners of her lips. “I think I’ve already seduced you, Caspian.”She’s not wrong. Everything in me—every nerve, every ounce of restraint—is leaning in her direction. I want her. I’ve never wanted anyone as much as I want Desiree. There’s a daring glint in her eyes, like she knows exactly what she’s doing to me and loves every minute of it. I’m usually the one in control, the one who calls the shots, but with Desiree, it’s like my control has taken a break.“Well, I’ll give you this,” I say, my voice rougher than I intended. “You’re good at it.”“Good?” She leans in, her breath warm against my cheek as she whispers, “I’m just getting started.”Fuck me. There it is—the line I didn't want to cross. O
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 027: This Isn't About Winning
For a brief moment, neither of us speaks. Our eyes meet in shared surprise. Outside, I can hear muffled voices, quick and urgent, as the driver exchanges words with my security team. “What the hell was that?” Desiree asks.“I’m not sure,” I reply, all traces of flirtation gone. My instincts sharpen, the protective side of me kicking in. I don’t like surprises, especially not when I’m with her. “Stay here.” She narrows her eyes. “What do you think you’re doing, Caspian?”“Making sure everything’s fine.” I reach for the door handle, but she grabs my arm, her grip firm.“Oh no, you don’t,” she says. “You’re not leaving me alone in this car like some damsel in distress.”I can’t help the smirk that tugs at my lips. “You think you can handle what’s out there, Desiree?”“I think I can handle you, and that’s scarier than anything waiting outside.”She’s serious, and I can see the determination in her eyes.“Fine,” I relent, though I don’t like the idea of her stepping into uncertainty. “B
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 028: Picking Out Rings
Desiree's POVI think someone needs to pinch me. Because this is a dream. It has to be a dream. Yesterday, I was just an ordinary girl, doing ordinary things and barely scraping by. Today, I’m cashing million-dollar checks, riding with a billionaire's entourage, saying yes to a contract marriage, and casually picking out wedding rings at Tiffany & Co. Who am I?Caspian’s hand rests on the small of my back as we enter, his guards moving into formation around us, like we’re royalty or something. “Good day, Mr. Hart,” a short, impeccably dressed man greets us with a smile, bowing slightly, as if he’s been waiting all day just for this. “Right this way, please.” He doesn’t hesitate; he already knows where to lead us. I blink, trying to make sense of it. I’ve been by Caspian’s side since he proposed. Not once did I see him make a call, send a text, or give any instructions. So how is everyone doing exactly what he wants them to do without instructions?Wait…“Caspian,” I say, “did you s
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 029: The Shotgun Wedding
Our entourage pulls up to the marriage registry, and as we’re about to step out, it hits me—shotgun weddings have requirements, right?“Caspian,” I call out, hesitant, “I don’t think it’s possible to get married right now.”Caspian freezes. He was just about to press the button to alert his security detail that we're coming out. But now, those fingers have left the button and are now massaging his forehead, as though he has a headache.“Desiree,” he says, voice low and a little strained, “don’t back out on me now.”“Back out? What are you talking about?”He drops his hand from his forehead and moves closer, resting his palms on my lap. “I understand that seeing the building of the registry can be unnerving. But I’m here, my cherry. I'm with you every step of the way. You have no idea how much it means to me that you agreed to this. For the first time in a long while, I feel like I have someone on my side—someone who understands me. Yes, it might be a contract, but I still consider you
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 030: Wouldn't Dream Of It, Cherry
“No, Caspian,” I say for what feels like the hundredth time. “I’m not moving in with you.”He sighs. “You’re my wife now. What kind of wife lives in a separate house from her husband?”We’ve been going back and forth like this since we left the registry. The moment we got into the car, Caspian gave instructions for us to be driven home. But it didn’t take long for me to realize that the route we’re taking isn’t leading to my house. In fact, every passing street looks less and less familiar. The buildings outside blur together as I rack my brain, trying to figure out where he’s taking me. “Where are we going?” I asked, suspicion creeping into my voice.“Home,” he replied with that maddening calmness of his.“This isn’t the way to my house.”“No,” he agreed, not even looking phased. “It’s the way to your new home.”That conversation was minutes ago, and I’m still not in the mood to give in. I get it—we just got married, and usually, that means sharing a house, building a life together
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 031: Driving To Jessica's
Caspian's POVI'm a happy man. For the first time in forty-three years, I feel like I’m actually living. Desiree has made me realize that I've been unhappy all my life. I thought contentment was something I could buy, something I could control with power, money, and influence. But it turns out, happiness is more elusive than any of that—it’s found in the most unexpected places, like in the fire of a woman who challenges me at every turn.I watch her as she taps away at her phone, her brow furrowed in frustration as she tries to reach her best friend. She’s been dialing Jessica’s number for the past few minutes, and each time it goes straight to voicemail. The more it happens, the more her expression hardens, like she’s preparing for the worst. “Still nothing?” I ask, though I already know the answer.She shakes her head, her lips pressing into a thin line. “It’s weird. Jess never ignores my calls like this. Especially not after I tell her it’s important.” She punches in the number ag
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 032: At Jessica's
The faint scent of something spicy fills the air. As Desiree flicks on the light switch, the scene that greets us in the living room is unexpected, to say the least. There, in front of the kitchen counter, a petite woman is swaying to a rhythm only she can hear, her back turned to us. Earbuds are snugly tucked into her ears, and she’s completely lost in her own world, stirring a pot of what looks like instant ramen while performing an energetic little dance.I glance at Desiree, raising an eyebrow. “I’m guessing that’s the infamous Jessica?”“Yeah, that’s her. Always a one-woman show.”Jessica spins around. Her eyes widen when she spots us standing in the doorway, and she nearly drops the wooden spoon in her hand. She yanks the earbuds out, blinking rapidly.“Desiree!” she squeals. “I didn’t hear you come in.”Desiree steps forward, hands on her hips. “I’ve been trying to call you for ages! You didn’t pick up, so I thought you’d disappeared on me or something.”Jessica waves a dismis
