Forbidden desire- In love with my father’s best friend
Amelia never expected her hidden secret to come out open in the middle of her father’s cherished porcelain collection. When she confessed her forbidden feelings, it was not just her father’s prized possession that shattered... it was their entire world.
Bryan, a stern and overprotective father, had always seen his best friend, Ryan, as a trusted person, a man with a billion-dollar empire and a charming smile that can win over anyone. Anyone except his daughter... or so he thought.
But Amelia wasn't the little girl he remembered. She was a grown woman now, strong-willed and hopelessly in love with the one man she’s not supposed to want. Ryan, for his part, knew he was walking on eggshells. Falling for his best friend’s daughter is the ultimate betrayal, but keeping his feelings bottled up was worse.
When Amelia’s bold declaration crashed intotheir lives, secrets, guilt, and unspoken desires came to light, threatening to destroy everything.
“ I’m a woman, Dad. I know what I want, ” Amelia said, but did she truly understand what was at stake?
The silence that followed was deafening.
And it was only the beginning.

Chapter: Chapter 20Her knees trembled slightly, “ W... what are you doing? ” she whispered, eyes darting everywhere but at him.He didn’t answer. Instead, he dipped his head lower until their noses nearly brushed. His mouth hovered so close to hers she could feel the heat of his breath, the tension between them cracking.She could smell the faint trace of scotch on his breath, and something deeper... desire. Hunger. But controlled. Barely.She closed her eyes, bracing for something—anything. A kiss. A word. Kiss me, hot c*ck, she thought. Now where did that come from? She asked herself. She didn't have time to think about it because what came next wasn’t what she expected.“ I’ll throw you out of my house very soon, ” he said in a voice so low, so deliberate, it felt like a knife against her skin. “ Mark my words. ”Her eyes flew open.The moment shattered like glass. She blinked at him, stunned. Hurt punched through her chest so sharply it left her breathless.“ W... what? ”She pushed at his chest with

Chapter: Chapter 19Stella looked like a kid caught with her hand in the cookie jar. She went stiff, her hand still half-raised from her earlier gasp.Amelia braced herself. Here we go again. She waited for the explosion. For him to shout.To demand answers.But instead… he said nothing immediately. He walked past them slowly, eyes flicking to the shoes by the door... Stella’s bright white sneakers standing out among Amelia’s more subtle footwear.He stopped a few feet away. Amelia didn’t dare breathe.“ Thought I said not to bring anyone here, ” he finally said, voice low, calm. Too calm.“ Yeah, well, ” Stella said before Amelia could respond. “ She didn’t bring me. I insisted. I’m her best friend. If she’s living somewhere, I need to know what kind of conditions she’s in. ”Ryan’s expression didn’t change, but his jaw ticked slightly.“ This place is… wow, by the way, ” Stella added quickly, trying to defuse the tension.Ryan didn’t take the compliment, “ Do you always ignore house rules? ” he asked A

Chapter: Chapter 18Stella smirked, “ Then let me die rich.”Amelia rolled her eyes but couldn’t hide the smile tugging at her lips.Stella reached out and squeezed her arm gently. “ I’m glad you told me, though. ”“ I didn’t really have a choice. ” Amelia answered with a shrug. “ Still counts. ”They stood there in silence for a few beats, the tension dissolving. “ Well, ” Stella said with a wink, “ I’ll see you after class. Don’t try to ditch me. I’m part bloodhound. ”Before Amelia could reply, Stella spun on her heel and walked away like a woman on a mission.“ Bye! ” she called over her shoulder. “ And no funny business before I get there! ”Amelia groaned, rubbing her forehead.She looked up at the ceiling as if seeking help from above.“ God, help me, ” she muttered under her breath.Then, slinging her bag higher on her shoulder, she made her way to her next class, silently praying that Ryan wouldn’t be home when she got there later.Because if he was...God only knew what would happen.********

Chapter: Chapter 17The clock ticked louder than usual as Amelia sat in the back row of her first class, pretending to take notes while her mind drifted in a million directions.The professor’s voice was just a low drone in her ears. She barely caught a word.Instead, she focused on keeping her breathing steady, on not letting her eyes scan the room for Evan or worse, Stella. She had spent the entire hour dreading what could happen the moment class ended. Her heart thumped like a drum in her chest every time the door creaked or someone stood up.What if he’s here? What if she corners me the moment I step out?But the class eventually ended without incident. There were no angry glances. No cold shoulders. No best friend charging toward her with fire in her eyes. No Evan either.Just the usual shuffle of feet and backpacks zipping up.Amelia let out a quiet breath of relief as she gathered her things and slipped out of the classroom as fast as she could.The corridor was busy, but not chaotic.

Chapter: Chapter 16A tiny part of her whispered that maybe it wasn’t too late to begin the day if she moved fast. But a much louder voice told her to pull the covers over her head and disappear from the world, even if it was just for a little while.She sighed, dragging a hand through her hair, " Maybe I should just skip class today. "She wasn’t ready. Not emotionally. Not mentally.The humiliation from the night before still clung to her like smoke. Her little plan, if it could even be called that, had gone up in flames the moment Ryan walked in. Instead of making him jealous or drawing out some buried desire, she had only succeeded in pushing him further away. He had looked at her with such disdain, such coldness. She could still feel the burn of his words.“ I don’t care if you’ve been f*cking him. Refrain from bringing guys to my house, or I’ll throw you out. ”Her stomach twisted.Why did those words sting so badly? Why did it matter that he didn’t care?Because he did. She knew he did. That kiss…

Chapter: Chapter 15" What's going on? " Evan whispered, starting to look uneasy. He thought they would be alone. So who the f*ck was outside? He asked himself. " What's happening, Mel? Thought you said your parents were out of town? " He asked again, searching her face for answers. Amelia didn't answer. Instead, she kept her ear to the door, waiting for Ryan to come in. Some minutes later, the front door opened and Ryan came in. With a sly smile, Amelia opened her room door at the same time and dragged out Evan again who looked too confused to speak. He just allowed her to pull him around like a rag doll. They came face to face with Ryan who looked mad when he saw them. That was even an understatement. His eyes emitted fire and rage as he stared at them. " What the hell is going on here? " Ryan asked with gritted teeth. Evan straightened up and tried to match Ryan's glare with his, but the kid was obviously no match for the powerful billionaire. Ryan broke the eye contact first. Not because he was
