All Chapters of Filthy Desires: A Dad's Best Friend Story: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

HAYLEY’S P.O.VI didn’t realize how much I needed to be out of the house until I was out. It felt like I could finally breathe for the first time in a long time and every day after that, I spent a few hours with Jake and Kate.Maybe it was selfish to leave my father and grandpa alone seeing as they didn’t have anyone but it was the only way for me to stay sane.Dad buried himself in work while grandpa stayed in the house most of the time. He tried to tell us that he was fine but we could see through his façade, he was hurting despite how hard he tried to hide it.The only time he tried to engage in conversation with us was when he wanted to talk about the funeral preparations or when he wanted to demand that we let him move back home. Other than that, he locked himself up in his room which was as sad as it was concerning.It was a lot to deal with- work, the funeral and my personal life but somehow, I made it work. Greg didn’t bother me, the police had stopped sniffing around me and e

HAYLEY’S P.O.VAt first, I was hoping for someone to jump out with a camera and say that it was a prank. I always knew my grandmother to be an impractical joker but this was truly pushing the limit.“That can’t be right,” grandpa cut in. “Are you sure she put that in?’He nodded. “I tried to advise her against it but she was determined. There is also a stipulated timeline by which you must have done it before the trust fund is distributed amongst charities.”“What’s the timeline?” I asked hoping to hear something like five years.“I can’t say,” he gave me a small smile. “It is her rules, not mine. I am so sorry.”“You’re joking,” I bit back a laugh as I turned to grandpa. “I’m sorry but your wife was insane.”“I’m starting to think the same thing,” he mumbled as he ran his hands down his face. “”What the hell was she thinking?”Dad and Jake were the only quiet ones. Dad seemed lost in thought but Jake- he was staring right at me. I could only imagine the kind of pressure it put him un

HAYLEY’S P.O.VI was shaking by the time I got to Jake’s office.Everyone seemed to recognize me. I wasn’t shocked, my face was plastered all over their TVs a while ago with Jake. They knew who I was to him and on another day, I would’ve been concerned about it but today, I couldn’t bring myself to care.I took the elevator up to his office and met his secretary at her desk. She looked up at me with a professional smile but as soon as she realized it was me, the smile disappeared. If there was any doubts in my mind that she wanted Jake, it was gone in that moment. She stared at me like a jealous girlfriend.“Mr. Ryker isn’t in his office,” she told me, a smug smile on her face. “As his girlfriend, I thought he would have told you that.”I just stared at her blankly and made to step past her but she was quick to get into my way.“Move,” I didn’t even bother to try and keep the disdain out of my voice. She was pissing me off.“No one is allowed to go into his office. If you’re truly dat

HAYLEY’S P.O.VI registered the slap before I even knew what was happening. I was on my feet in an instant and rushed over to the door.I couldn’t think of anyone that would dare hit Jake and yet, Andrea stood there. She looked furious, her chest rising and falling rapidly as if she had thrown everything she had into that hit. I glanced over at Jake and a gasp left my lips. His cheek was red and angry but he didn’t seem upset, he looked more shocked than anything.“Did you get all your anger out?” he asked and she lifted her hand again but he stopped her with his words. “I would choose my next actions wisely. If you hit me again, you will go to jail for assault and I will make sure you stay there for as long as possible.”She was smart enough to drop her hand but the anger didn’t leave her face. If anything, it got even worse.“You little bastard,” she spat. “You’re the one poisoning my daughter’s mind. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? You are closer to my age than to hers. You’re a fu

HAYLEY’S P.O.VThe smell of breakfast was what woke me but it was the light streaming through the windows that had me sitting up in a flash- I was late.“Relax,” I felt a hand on my shoulders as Jake gently guided me back into the bed. “You don’t have to rush anywhere.”“But I’m late-”“Your dad gave you the day off, rest, Hayley, you’re not a machine, you are not a robot, you need a break once in a while.”I wanted to protest but he just shot me a look that clearly told me he wasn’t taking no for an answer no matter what so I reluctantly found myself resting against the pillows. It was only once I was back in bed that I took the opportunity to look at Jake.He was shirtless showing off his toned chest, he had a tray of food in his hands that he placed in my lap. It smelled delicious and my stomach rumbled, reminding me that I didn’t have a chance to eat last night.I mumbled a thank you under my breath before shoving a forkful into my mouth while Jake excused himself from the room.
