last update Last Updated: 2025-04-01 01:51:28

Madam Ellana didn’t die by accident. It was a setup.

Jelly’s words sent a cold shiver down my spine, echoing in my mind. I had thought Bastian had grown up in a cozy family when I first came here.

But now, I knew better. This house of his was a den of pythons. They swallow whole.

I looked at a trembling Jelly, knowing this might actually put her in trouble as well as me.

Still, I needed to know. Why? I didn't know.

I swallowed hard, pushing past the nausea crawling up my throat.

“Tell me everything,” I whispered, my voice barely loud enough, the way I needed it to be. The fear in my voice was undeniable.

Jelly’s hands were shaking, her lips trembling as she tried to find the right words. “I... I don’t know if I should…”

I leaned forward, lowering my voice. “Jelly, if you don’t, Lucy will keep using you. And one day, she’ll get rid of you too. You know that, don’t you?”

Her eyes darted around the room, panic settling in. “I know,” she whispered. “I know, but… I’m scared, Miss.”

  • Craving Daddy's Bestfriend    Chapter 58: That's my Bestfriend

    ~Lilith's POV~The jail cell was cold and smelly. The bed was hard. I had I never slept on anything so hard. I have been trying my best not to throw up, but it has been so difficult because of the old sock smell the room has.I had been here for two days now. Two days of hell. I still can't actually believe I was in prison. I try my best to wrap my head around it but I just can't understand how I got roped in all this mess.There were other women in the cell that looked at me like I was some kind of freak. They whispered about me when they thought I couldn't hear or when they think I am sleeping."That's the politician's daughter," one of them said. "The one who killed that maid.""Rich girl thinks she can get away with murder," another one laughed.I wanted to scream at them that I was innocent. But what was the point? No one would believe me.The food was horrible. Gray soup that tasted like rotten water with a piece of hard bread that smelled spoilt fish. I could barely eat anythi

  • Craving Daddy's Bestfriend    Chapter 57: Are you ready?

    ~Beatrice's POV~I was sitting in the lawyer's office when my phone started ringing non-stop. The first call was from my assistant."Madam, you need to see the news," she said, her voice shaking. "It's about Lilith."My blood went cold. Those bastards! "What about her?""Turn on Channel 7. Right now."I grabbed the remote and turned on the TV in the lawyer's office. What I saw made me feel sick.There was a picture of my daughter on the screen. The headline read: "POLITICIAN'S DAUGHTER ARRESTED FOR MURDER."The news reporter was talking fast. "Twenty- two-year-old Lilith Morrell, daughter of politician Beatrice Romano, has been arrested for the murder of Jessica Williams. The victim was a maid who worked for the wealthy Lockhart family."I felt like I couldn't breathe. This was happening too fast."The murder took place at the old pier last night. Police found strong evidence linking Miss Morrell to the crime," the reporter continued.Then they showed a picture of me. "Her mother, Be

    ~Lilith's POV~I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing. The room was still dark. I looked at the clock. It was 3 AM.Who would be texting me this late?I picked up my phone and saw a message from an unknown number. My heart stopped at first until when I read it.~"Miss Lilith, this is Jelly. I have something very important to tell you about Mrs. Ellana's death. I think I found evidence. Meet me at the old pier at 4 AM. Come alone. This is dangerous but you need to know the truth."~Jelly? This late?I sat up in bed, my mind racing. Why would Jelly contact me? And what evidence could she have about Ellana's death? Could this be another trap? Another message came through.~"Miss Lilith, I'm sending you some pictures. Look at them carefully. Mrs. Lucy and Mr. Alfonso killed Mrs. Ellana. I have proof. I was there that night. I am finally willing to submit all the evidence since I am working for you now."~My hands were shaking as I opened the pictures. The first one showed Ellana's ca

  • Craving Daddy's Bestfriend    chapter 55: I am too old for you.

    ~Beatrice's POV~I was still staring at my phone, my hands shaking as I remembered that horrible night thirteen years ago. Rebecca's cruel message. Those pictures. The way my world had fallen apart in that moment.The pain was still fresh, even after all these years. The betrayal. The humiliation that followed consistently after. The way Marcus had chosen her and not even Lilith. And now, he is acting and protraying himself as the saint and I the evil one."What are you thinking so hard about that you didn't notice when I entered your room?"Thomas's voice pulled me from my dark thoughts. I quickly put my phone face down on the nightstand, my heart jumping."Nothing," I said dismissively, not looking at him.How long had he been standing there? How much had he seen? I felt exposed, vulnerable and he didn't have to do anything at all, that's how much of a chokehold he had me on.Thomas didn't say anything at first. He just walked toward the bed and sat down. I could feel his eyes on me

  • Craving Daddy's Bestfriend    Chapter 54: July 14th.

    ~Beatrice's POV~I silently entered my daughter's room. Looked at her sleeping face. Looked a face that looked exactly mine when I was her age. She had her my eyes and her father's red hair just like Thomas.I sat closed to her and gently rub on her face. I had wanted to just let everything go. Forget I ever had a daughter after all, I have hurt her so much. I hated myself and how I lost myself after the betrayal of Marcus." I am sorry, my sweet girl. I am so sorry. I am only trying to protect you and myself. I am sorry for letting my rage for the Lockharts hurt you. But, I swear, I was only saving you," I whispered in between tears.I stood up, not wanting my tears to fall on her and wake her up. I wish I had been around and not let her get involve with Bastian. I wish Marcus wasn't such a foolish man and he had actually protected his daughter.I closed Lilith's bedroom door softly and walked to my own room. My hands were still shaking from everything that had happened tonight. The

  • Craving Daddy's Bestfriend    Chapter 53: I chased him.

    ~Lilith's POV~"Watch out!" I screamed.The sound of a gunshot filled the air. Then everything went quiet.I saw Uncle Thomas fall to the ground. Blood was spreading across his shirt. The man with the gun was also down, but I couldn't see him properly."No, no, no!" I screamed.Without thinking, I broke my promise. I jumped out of the car and ran toward Uncle Thomas. My legs felt weak. My chest was tight. I couldn't breathe properly.I fell to the ground beside him, crying so hard I could barely see."Uncle Thomas! Please don't die! Please!" I sobbed.My hands were shaking. My heart was beating so fast it hurt. I felt like I was drowning. Like the world was spinning too fast.This was all my fault. If I hadn't been so stupid about Sebastian's text messages, Uncle Thomas would be safe. He would be alive."I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," I kept saying over and over.I couldn't catch my breath. Everything felt fuzzy and far away. My chest was so tight I thought I might die too.Then I
