I flipped through the clothes in my wardrobe, unable to settle on the right dress. Nothing seemed quite attractive enough. I tried to convince myself that I just wanted to try something different today. I wasn’t trying to look good for my son’s handsome best friend, who was staying with us for the summer. I just wanted to look good for myself—or at least that’s what I told myself. But who was I kidding? I never second-guessed what I wore every morning. Yet here I was, struggling to find the perfect dress that would make me feel confident. I gave the wardrobe one last glance, and there it was—a stunning black gown my friend Beatrice had given me for my last birthday. I had never gotten around to wearing it. I hadn’t felt the need to—until now. It seemed so revealing, but I didn’t care anymore. It had been a year since Michael and I had last seen each other. I had to look as hot as I did on the day we met. Why did I care so much about what he thought of my looks? I wondered as I wore the dress, staring at my reflection. I remembered how Gilbert would always tell me I was too old to be sexy whenever I stood in the mirror like this. But Michael had been different. He thought I was sexy that night. With my looks, I had to make sure he still felt the same way about me today. I checked myself out in the mirror. I definitely felt sexy—finally ready to face my blast from the past. Just then, Justin knocked on my door. “Mom…?” “Yes, honey. I’ll be down soon,” I called back. “Cool,” he said before I heard his footsteps retreating. I took a deep breath, giving myself one final look from head to toe. I ran a brush through my hair, debating whether to tie it up but ultimately letting it flow over my shoulders. I had worn my hair down the night Michael and I met. Why am I so bothered about looking attractive for Michael? The only validation I needed was my own—I had learned that the hard way after years of Gilbert talking me down. I smiled at myself in the mirror, feeling confident, and headed downstairs. Michael was setting the table, while Justin and Olivia sat, ready to eat. I couldn’t hide the surprise on my face. “Good morning, Mrs. Jameson. I made breakfast,” Michael said, flashing his charming smile—the one that reached his eyes. His gaze ran over me, and I saw it again. The same look he had given me the night we met. He clearly liked what he saw. His eyes lingered on me, and I couldn’t pull mine away from him either. “Mrs. Jameson, you look…” His words faded as he stared at me, dazed. Just the way I wanted. My eyes darted to Olivia and Justin, who were watching us awkwardly. I had to snap out of it. “Good morning, Mr. King,” I said, stepping closer. Michael pulled out a chair for me at the head of the table. “Thanks,” I whispered. “Good morning, Mom.” Olivia gave me a surprised look. “Mom… why do you look so hot today? Are you finally going out on a date?” I opened my mouth to respond, but Justin beat me to it. “Hell no. It’s too soon for Mom to be seeing anyone else. I’m not signing off on that,” he said, stuffing a forkful of pancakes into his mouth. Michael and I looked at each other instantly, both knowing that wasn’t the case. Justin didn’t know half of it. “Justin… I know you’re all grown now, but I’m still your mother, and I don’t need your permission to date anyone.” “Whatever, Mom. I’m just saying you’re better off without a man until dad comes back home. I’m not going to allow another man to come into our home and claim to be the man of the house over me.” “Here we go,” Olivia muttered, shaking her head as she and Justin started going back and forth. Always arguing, these two. I seized the moment, stealing a glance at Michael, who was seated across from me. He stared right back with rugged confidence. His dark gaze had me melting like ice already. “Mom, tell her where you’re going so we can settle this once and for all,” Justin said as he and Olivia turned their gazes to me. I forced myself to look away from Michael. “I’m not going anywhere,” I finally said, watching the puzzled looks on their faces. “Then why are you all dressed up?” Olivia asked. My gaze met Michael’s chivalrous smile. He probably knew I had dressed up for him. His dark eyes were fixed on me with a seductive sparkle. No! I had to stick to my lie. I couldn’t let it unravel now. “Oh yeah… I mean, I’m just going shopping with my friend Beatrice. There’s no date or anything like that.” I watched their faces relax. They bought it. The truth was, Beatrice and I hadn’t spoken this morning, and we hadn’t made any shopping plans. But that was the only excuse I could think of to explain why I had put so much effort into my appearance. “You both could come with me if you’d like?” I added, hoping to drive away any remaining suspicion. “Nah, I’d pass,” Justin replied. “Unless you’re buying me more clothes, I’ll pass too, Mom. I have other plans,” Olivia said, her eyes darting to Michael with a smile. “I’ll come with you,” Michael said, much to my surprise. I wanted to refuse, but Justin jumped in before I could. “Great idea. That way, Mom, you get to know him better. You always said you wanted to.” He sounded pleased. Olivia looked a bit disappointed but didn’t say anything. Michael looked pleased with himself. He’d scored some time alone with me.

Julia“Oh my God! Dad!” Justin barreled into the living room, breathless with shock and excitement.“My son.” Gilbert grinned warmly. His eyes lit up like he was genuinely happy. If I didn’t know him better, I might’ve believed he missed Justin. “I missed you, son.”He pulled Justin into a hug. Justin held him tight, his head resting against Gilbert’s chest. I looked away.“Dad, when did you get back?” Justin looked at his father like he was seeing something he thought he’d lost.Jealousy bloomed low in my gut, unwelcome. A thought I didn’t want to think. Maybe my kids loved their father more than they loved me.“Last night,” Gilbert answered as he glanced my way. “And I wish your mother was as welcoming as you both.”Justin’s head whipped between us. “What do you mean?” “She made me sleep on the hard couch,” Gilbert shook his head, a sad smile tugging at his lips. “She’s mad at me. And I don’t blame her. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have stayed too long away from home.”He was pretend
FALLING FOR MY SON’S BILLIONAIRE BEST FRIEND CHAPTER 64: HE CAME BACK
JuliaI shut the door on impulse, clutching my chest, shocked to my bones. I heard a metallic sound in my ears, even though I knew it was silent. I felt like I couldn’t breathe.The doorbell rang again. I opened it—and it was really him.Gilbert.He still had that wide smile on his face.“Quit the games, honey. I’m back.”What? The audacity of him.He pushed me aside with one hand and walked in, looking around like he owned the place. And yes, maybe it was his house once. But he lost that right the moment he tried to gamble it away—and hit me for trying to stop him. If I had let him, he wouldn’t even have a home to come back to.“Justin and Olivia, where are they? Where are my kids?” he asked, like he still had control over us.I swallowed hard. “They should be upstairs. In bed,” I said, folding my arms.“What are you doing here, Gilbert?”He looked back at me. “What kind of stupid question is that, Julia? This is my home.”He chuckled like he was joking—but I caught the meanness in h
FALLING FOR MY SON’S BILLIONAIRE BEST FRIEND CHAPTER 63: THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENED
JuliaI ignored his calls all day yesterday. And again this morning. Each time his name lit up my phone, I pressed the side button and silenced it. I couldn’t stand to hear his voice. Not after seeing him with her. She had her arms wrapped around him—so cozy, like he was her boyfriend. She looked perfect beside him. And I hated how much it hurt. I hated that I cared. But God, I did. Another call came through. This time, my office line.I sighed and picked up. “Hello?”There was silence. And then… “Julia,” his deep voice called my name. And I froze. My heart stuttered, my fingers suddenly became weak.“Can we talk?” he added, his voice making me tremble. I almost caved and said yes. I slammed the phone down. I can’t. Not now. Not when I still felt this angry and betrayed.Minutes later, Lydia walked in with a file. “New client,” she dropped it on my table. “The CEO asked me to give this to you. The client…She’s expecting you this evening. Everything you need is in the folder.”I opene
FALLING FOR MY SON’S BILLIONAIRE BEST FRIEND CHAPTER 62: CAUGHT IN THE OFFICE
MichaelThe cameras kept flashing as I stood in front of the press, answering their endless questions. My eyes scanned the crowd—and then I saw her. Julia.She walked toward me, looking nervous. She showed up. Just like she’d promised, she stood a little behind me, off to the side. I let out a half-smile and turned my attention back to the journalists.“Mr. King,” one of them called out, “who is this woman to you?”I froze, just for a second. Julia tensed beside me, her eyes wide with panic.A part of me wanted to say it—that she was my woman, that we were together, that I trusted her more than anyone. But this wasn’t the time. This press conference wasn’t about us. It was about King Global—about leadership, legacy, and control. The board was watching. Investors were watching. I couldn’t risk it—not now. I spotted Langley. His expression told me he wasn’t happy Julia was standing beside me. And just like that—I had my opportunity.“Langley,” I said, turning to him, “could you join us
FALLING FOR MY SON’S BILLIONAIRE BEST FRIEND CHAPTER 61: FIRST NIGHT SLEEPING OVER PART 2
MichaelI finally pulled back. Her face was flushed, her skin damp with sweat. Her eyes were half-closed. She looked ruined—messy and still so beautiful.I kissed my way back up her body, stopping at her full breasts. They rose beneath me. I took one in my mouth and suckled, hearing her gasp. Her hands were on my back again. I moved to the other breast, my tongue teasing her nipple. I moaned against her as she whimpered. I could feel her heart pounding through her skin.“Michael, make love to me… please,” she whispered, dazed.I pulled off my shorts and pushed her legs open, locking my eyes with hers. Her hands fixed on my waist, her thighs wrapped around me again as I entered her.“Yes,” she moaned, a loud sound tearing from her throat. Her hands flew to my back, grabbing, clawing.My hands gripped her hips as I moved inside her. She felt so good—there was nothing sweeter than her. My face dropped to her neck, grunting as she squeezed me, meeting every thrust with her own, her legs l
FALLING FOR MY SON’S BILLIONAIRE BEST FRIEND CHAPTER 60: FIRST NIGHT SLEEPING OVER
MichaelI returned home. It was past 11 p.m., and I was anxious to see Julia. I wasn’t sure if she’d stayed… or if she’d left.I stepped out of the backseat, restless. I hastened my footsteps, impatient, as I walked straight into the house.“Good night, Adam,” I muttered to my driver as he set the shopping bags down in the living room. It was quiet.I walked into the second living room—the same place we’d been before I left. The lights were off. My chest sank. She left.I switched on the light. And there she was. Her slender frame peacefully sleeping on the sofa. Her arms were tucked under her body, knees pulled close to her chest to make herself comfortable.A smile broke across my face. She stayed.I walked over, bent down, and picked her up. She didn’t wake up—only sighed a little in her sleep, her head falling lightly against my chest.I took her upstairs and laid her on my bed, her head sinking into the pillow. I pulled the covers over her, brushing a few strands of hair away fro
