Owned By My Best Friend's Father
Leah lives with her mother and younger sister, carefully balancing school, work, and responsibility. Her father drifts in and out of her life, bringing nothing but chaos, guilt, and financial strain. Every interaction with him reminds Leah why control matters, why stability must be protected at all costs.
Her secret begins with Damien Cross, her best friend’s father. Their connection forms quietly, deliberately, and with full awareness of the line they are crossing. Damien’s dominance awakens something in Leah; she has never allowed herself to explore a desire to surrender, to be guided, to belong. Their encounters are hidden and intense, leaving Leah shaken, fulfilled, and aching for more. Even as desire deepens, Leah understands the danger of discovery and the devastation it would bring.
But passion comes at a price. Extra money, watchful eyes, and her father’s greed threaten exposure. One wrong move could destroy everything Leah fights to protect.
Owned by My Best Friend’s Father is a dark, addictive romance about forbidden desire, alpha dominance, and the dangerous thrill of surrender. Some loves aren’t safe, but they’re impossible to resist.

Chapter: Chapter SeventyLEAH POVI woke up to morning light filtering through the heavy curtain casting soft golden streaks on my face.I wake up curled against Damien's side, his arm wrapping tightly around my waist.His breathing, the only sound in the quiet room, for a few seconds I let myself stay there just memorizing the warmth of his skin on mine and his gentle finger on my back.Then reality hit me I am in Damien Cross’s bed, so close to Emily, and somehow Victor knows where I am.I slip out of his arm as carefully as I can, my movements very slow, trying hard not to wake him.Damien stirs and I freeze my heart pounding, a small frown creasing his brow but he doesn't wake up.I let out a sigh of relief and got out of bed, pulling on my sweater with trembling fingers, and tiptoed out the door trying hard to be as quiet as possible.I almost reach my room when I hear footsteps behind me.Emily She comes from the kitchen with a glass of water barefoot, her hair in a mess.She stops when she sees me, c

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-nineLEAH POVGolden morning light slipped through the curtains. I woke up slow, still tucked against Damien’s side. His arm lay loose around my waist, breathing steady and deep. For a moment I just stayed there, soaking in the warmth of his skin, the way his fingers rested against my back like they belonged there even while he slept.Then it hit me.Shit. I was in Damien Cross’s bed.Emily was right down the hall.And Victor knew exactly where to find me.I eased out from under his arm, careful not to wake him. He frowned a little in his sleep when I moved. I stood there a second, staring down at him. Those bruises on his ribs looked worse today. Deep purple bleeding into ugly yellow. He seemed so breakable like this. Not like the guy who’d sworn he’d keep Victor away from Sophie.I yanked on my sweater and crept barefoot toward the door. The hallway stretched forever. Every tiny creak under my feet made my pulse spike.I was almost safe in the guest room when footsteps came from the kitc

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-eightLEAH POVThe guest room at the penthouse is twice the size of my bedroom at home.Marcus came to pick me up this morning, the house was empty; earlier, Emily had texted me that she would be going shopping.I stood in the doorway for a while holding my heavy duffel bag in one hand and the purple elephant that Ethan gave me under my arm.The bed looks untouched with crisp white sheets and a vase with pale pink roses sitting on the nightstand.The windows in the room go all the way from the floor to the ceiling framing the Miami skyline like a pretty picture that I am not allowed to touch..I dropped my bag on the polish dresser.The purple elephant went on the nightstand. A small, stubborn piece of home in all this unfamiliar luxury.My phone buzzed in my pocket.I expected Ethan, or maybe Emily checking in on me instead I saw a message from an unknown number.Heard you got a new job baby,must be nice but your old man could use a little help. Don't be selfish, Leah.I felt my throat ti

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-sevenLEAH POVThree days after Damien comes home from the hospital.The morning rush at the diner is brutal, as always.I tie my apron with the same motions I've done a thousand times, the smell of burnt toast and frying bacon clings to everything as I pour the first pot of coffee, my arms already aching from yesterday’s double shift.Table four needs wiping again because a kid spilled syrup everywhere. I move on autopilot, forcing myself to smile at the regulars.By the time the break crowd leaves, my feet are throbbing and my lower back is screaming leaning against the counter I realize that this arrangement I insisted on wouldn't work.Mornings here, afternoons at the boutique and evenings at the penthouse couldn't continue, I have lasted just four days and it feels like the worst four days of my life.I can’t keep doing this.Mira is behind the counter doing inventory when I finally walk up to her, still holding the rag I’d been using to wipe tables.She sets her pen down and looks at

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-fiveDAMIEN POVAfter Leah left, I turned to Emily. "You too," I said.She sits up straighter. "What?""Go home, Emily. Sleep in your own bed for a few hours.""Dad…"“I'm fine, the doctors have checked me today, and my numbers are good. You look like you haven't slept in two days or have you?”“I haven't,” she admits."Then go." I nodded toward the door. "I'll have Marcus send a driver. He'll be waiting downstairs."She stares at me for a second then stands up, crosses the bed, and gently presses a kiss on my forehead."You really scared me," she whispers against my hair."I know," I murmur, squeezing her hand, the simple movement sends a fresh wave of pain through my ribs but I don't let go "I'm sorry, princess."She straightened and wiped her eyes quickly, pretending I didn't notice. "Call me if anything changes, even the smallest thing.""I will."She grabbed her jacket and walked out.I reach for my phone and dial Marcus' number. He answered on the first ring."Send a driver for Emil
