All Chapters of Seducing My Dad's Best Friend: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Nothing to prove!The following days blurred together in a haze of hectic office hours, back-to-back meetings, and an unending stream of emails. But amidst the chaos, I found myself reflecting on the surprise that had been my life over the past few weeks. It was almost ridiculous how unpredictable it had become.Ben had asked that I move into his office. First, he said that as his personal assistant, I needed to be closer to him, adding that he considered it a big task calling me everytime he needed me to get something done for him. Secondly, he said he wanted to make sure I was not distracted by other things.“Besides, my office is big enough for two grown ups,” he added casually.I could only sense jealousy in his voice. I guess he believed my lie: that I was in a relationship.He was ever-present, his energy pulsating through every corner of the office. It seemed like each time I glanced up from my desk, he was there, lurking in the proximity that was painfully tantal

ROCHELLE I didn't sign up for this!My heart sank into despair. Maybe I did know what I was getting into, yet the fantasy of ‘us’ had blurred the boundaries of my heart and mind, leading me into this intricate and complicated web.“I need to think,” I said finally, rounding them and retreating to the safety of my room. The weight of our conversation hung heavy on my shoulders.“You better show up for dinner; we won't eat until you do,” I heard Aries' voice.Days passed, each one melding into the next, the familiar rhythm of our unremarkable routine growing heavy on my heart. I spent my days at the office, each moment filled with thoughts of Aries and Adrien, feeling the remnants of our last conversation like a crack in my foundation. I longed for affirmation, validation that I didn’t just exist for their pleasure.During lunch one day, I found myself sitting across from Julie, my only close friend from work. She was lively and full of ideas, contrasting

                       ROCHELLE                    Their fiancee? The sun dipped low in the sky, casting long shadows across the sprawling estate that was home to Aries, Adrien and I. I stepped into the entrance hall, my heart heavy and throat tight with disappointment. Just earlier that evening, they had canceled our plans for a movie date, citing a sudden emergency business meeting. I felt as though I were trapped in a gilded cage—beautiful yet suffocating, high above the world where no one could see my struggles. They had promised to make it up to me, but after so many empty promises—skipped dates and forgotten plans—I couldn’t help but feel li

ADRIEN Confrontation and DesiresThe morning sun filtered through the expensive curtains of the penthouse, spilling golden light across immaculate floors. I paced the spacious living room, running a hand through my tousled hair, still raging over the conversation I’d had with my brother, Aries.“Aries,” I had said, barely managing to keep my voice steady, “what kind of stupid decision is it to bring Delight here? Do you even listen to yourself?”"But she’s family now!" Aries shot back, his hazel eyes flashing with defiance. “You think I wanted this? I didn’t know she would make such a request.”“Of course, you did!” I fired back, frustration boiling over. “You wanted to impress her, to make her happy, which, by the way, is the worst possible idea. Haven’t you thought this through? Delight is not just some random woman. She’s the worst complication we could have right now. She’ll mess everything up right before our eyes! She'll fucking blow our cover!”My brother crossed his arms

ROCHELLE Playing games!Eventually, I’d had it up to my neck. My life had turned into a twisted carnival ride of desires gone wrong. It wasn’t enough to just be involved with Adrien and Aries, brothers whose smiles could launch a thousand ships—or at least, a thousand insecurities within me. Like I said before, I wanted more than the fleeting touches of passion. I craved a connection that was deeper than skin. But sharing their attention with that golddigger extinguished that hope almost immediately. Again, they hadn’t even bothered to deny it, and that truth stung like salt in a wound.Driven by a storm of emotions erupting from my heart and a fierce determination to feel something—anything other than the bitterness Delight brought into my life—I started going out more frequently. To spite Aries and Adrien, I kissed random guys, bringing them home to our shared space. Oh, how delightful it was to see the tension in their faces, the fury in their eyes, and the hints of
