“Right now?” I shake my head, half-exasperated, half-amused. “Can’t this wait till I’ve gotten a healthy dose of dopamine from you?” She laughs, a soft sound that’s both teasing and serious. “As tempting as that is, no. This can’t wait.” She pauses, her expression softening just a bit, though I can see that same intensity behind her eyes. “I’ve done a lot of thinking, Caspian. And I think there’s something you’re not telling me.” “What?” I try to keep my tone light, but there’s a weight behind her words, something that’s instantly sobering. “What are you talking about?” She shifts, sitting up a little straighter as she pulls the sheets around herself. “What did you and Juniper really discuss in that delivery room?” Her eyes search mine, unwavering. “And how does it involve my family?” For a second, I’m silent, the weight of her question sinking in. The shadows around us suddenly feel thicker, and I can see she’s not going to let this go. There’s an unspoken edge to her gaze, a sha
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 141: Retirement Life
She’s silent, her gaze softening, the walls around her crumbling just a bit. “You’re really something, you know that?” I smile, leaning in to press a gentle kiss to her forehead. “I’ve heard.” For a long moment, we just sit there, wrapped in each other’s presence, and I can feel the weight of her past, the bruises and scars that her family left on her. But there’s something else too—a flicker of hope, the tiniest spark of possibility. It’s fragile, tentative, but it’s there. “Maybe,” she whispers, almost like she’s testing the word. “Maybe it’s worth a shot. I don’t know if I’m ready to trust them again. But maybe I could try… for us.” I smile, feeling something light and fierce surge through me. I know this isn’t a decision she’s come to lightly; it’s a leap into the unknown, a painful step toward a place she’s never thought she’d revisit. And for her to even consider it—it means more than words. “I don’t need you to forgive them, or even like them,” I say, my hand still holding
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 142: Coffee Table
"You're... at the gate?" I sit up, confusion flaring. Mike hasn’t dropped by unannounced since he was a teenager sneaking in past curfew. "What’s going on?""I just need a place to crash for a while. Can I come in?"I give the guard the necessary clearance and hang up, still trying to wrap my head around why Mike is here at nearly midnight. I glance over at Desiree, who raises an eyebrow but says nothing, though her eyes are swimming with questions of her own.A few minutes later, Mike steps into the living room, dragging a large, clearly packed suitcase behind him. He looks... rough. Dark circles under his eyes, his usually impeccable suit wrinkled, his tie shoved hastily into his jacket pocket. He doesn’t look like the polished, composed man who’s been my thorn in the business side lately. He looks—well, he looks lost."Didn’t know I’d be getting a visit tonight," I say, trying to keep my tone light.Mike gives a half-hearted shrug. "Didn’t know I’d be here either."We stand there i
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 143: It Is My House
I bark a laugh. “This has nothing to do with insecurity, Mike. It’s about boundaries. Respect. You don’t waltz in here and make yourself at home like nothing happened. You’re a guest, remember that.”“Guest,” he mutters, shaking his head, and then louder, “Funny, considering this used to be my home too.”“Well, it isn’t anymore,” I say, holding my ground. “You lost the right to call it that when you left, remember?”He laughs, hollow and bitter. “Right, because that’s what you do, huh? Hold everything over people’s heads, make them earn back your approval. You want me to grovel, Dad? Will that make you feel better?”“Grovel?” I scoff. “No. I just expect a little decency. And maybe a shirt.”He rolls his eyes, then stands, hands on his hips, his face twisted in a smirk that’s too much like mine for comfort. “Fine, Dad. You want me to ‘respect the house’? Consider it done.” He grabs his shirt from the arm of the couch and pulls it on, deliberately slow, like he’s doing me a favor.The s
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 144: Out Of My Hair
He shoots her a glare, visibly annoyed, but it’s me who steps in this time, deciding I’ve let him get away with evading for long enough.“She’s got a point,” I say, arms folded across my chest. “You’re here, taking up space, acting like nothing happened. But let’s not pretend like we haven’t all got questions. So why did you leave, Mike?”He shifts uncomfortably, his hand gripping the countertop like it’s the only thing holding him up. “You wouldn’t understand,” he mutters, staring down again, shoulders hunched.“Try us,” I say, keeping my voice steady, but with enough bite to make it clear I’m not backing down.He scowls, straightening up, looking like he’s debating whether it’s worth the fight. “Look, I didn’t come here to get interrogated, alright? I came here to get some peace. You know, maybe a little bit of space to think.”“Oh, space to think,” Desiree says, raising an eyebrow. “Funny, most people use hotels for that. Or a beach. Anywhere but their dad’s house after months of…
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 145: The Man He Could Be
I let out a soft chuckle, shaking my head. “That’s not what I want, Mike. You might be a handful, and you might have done a few things that…” I hesitate, looking for the right words, “…that made things complicated. But you’re my son. This is your home as much as it is mine. Stay as long as you need.”He scoffs, shoving his hands into his pocket. “Really? After everything I’ve done? After all the trouble I’ve caused?”I step into the room, folding my arms. “You think you’re the only one who’s messed up? Trust me, Mike, I’ve made my share of mistakes. We all have. But that doesn’t mean you’re any less my son. You’re family, and family… well, we don’t just walk away because things get ugly.”He looks at me, and for a moment, I see something shift in his expression—a flicker of vulnerability he’s trying hard to keep buried. “I don’t deserve this, you know. After everything I did to you… and Desiree.”I sigh, nodding. “You’re right. What you did hurt. You hurt her, you hurt me, and you bet
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 146: Any Of The Blood
Desiree's POV It's been a couple of days since Mike brought his things into the house, and so far, he seems to be everywhere. In the kitchen when I go to get water. In the living room when I want to have a living room time. Even in the damn compound when I’m trying to catch some air. “Are you following me?” I say, as I see Mike coming toward the pool where I’m lounging. Mike lets out a long, exasperated sigh, the kind that sounds halfway between a groan and a laugh, as he strolls toward the pool. He’s shirtless, naturally, like he owns the entire planet. I glare at him from my lounge chair, the sun beating down on me, but I can’t tell if the heat is from the sun or my own annoyance. “Are you following me?” I ask again, looking up from my sunglasses. He raises an eyebrow. “Excuse me?” “You heard me. It’s been days since you moved back in, and somehow you’re everywhere. Every room, every corner, and now, here, by the pool. It’s like I can’t breathe without you showing up.” He rol
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 147: Anything Drastic
I feel my cheeks flush with anger, my fists clenching. “You don’t get to use that against me. Not after everything you’ve done.”“Oh, trust me, I know exactly where I stand,” he says, his voice a harsh whisper. “But if you think I’m going to just roll over and let you push me around, you’re wrong.”“Is that a threat?” I ask, my voice ice-cold.He shrugs, his expression unreadable. “Call it what you want. Just don’t expect me to disappear on your command.”Without another word, I turn on my heel, storming away from the pool, my heart pounding with frustration, anger, and something else—something I don’t want to acknowledge. I hear him mutter something under his breath, but I don’t turn around. I’m done. I don’t owe him anything, least of all an explanation.As I walk back into the house, the cool air hits my skin, but it does little to soothe the fire raging inside me.In the living room, Caspian looks up from his newspaper, raising an eyebrow. I know I must look like a woman on the br
