ADRIAN'S POV

It's been two days since I was discharged from the hospital. I just got home from work at the clinic. I looked at the clock and it was almost 6:00 PM. The penthouse felt empty, silent, and lifeless. A part of me wondered if we had house staff, maybe I'd have someone to talk to when Damien isn't home.

Another part of me felt blessed because I have private time with Damien when he's around. I didn't really know what to feel. It's Tuesday evening, which means Damien won't be home until at least 9:00 PM. I confirmed with Sienna that Damien did indeed have an after-hours session tonight.

Right. Another woman would experience the focused intensity of his gaze, the warmth of his touch, the practiced charm that had somehow, inexplicably, been directed at me long enough for me to fall… well, for all this.

I cursed myself. Two days out of the hospital, and I was already sinking back into the familiar pit of anxiety and resentment.

By now, I should be numb to the thought of Damien

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 95: Sudden Change

    ADRIAN'S POV Paris was everything I'd imagined and more. The architecture was breathtaking, the food was divine, and the air crackled with an undeniable energy. Ingrid, true to her word, threw herself preparing for the conference, Gayle and I, meanwhile, explored the city to our heart's content.We visited the Louvre, marveling at the Mona Lisa (and battling the hordes of tourists). We strolled through the Tuileries Garden, picnicking on cheese and baguettes. We climbed the Eiffel Tower, gazing out at the sprawling cityscape.But as much as I enjoyed the sights and sounds of Paris, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was searching for something else, something just beyond my grasp. I found myself drawn to certain places, certain moments. The smell of roasting chestnuts on a street corner. The sound of an accordion playing a melancholic tune. The sight of a couple holding hands on a bridge over the Seine.Each time, a flicker of recognition, a sense of déjà vu, would wash over me, fol

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 94: New Life

    ADRIAN'S POVGabe. A name foreign to me. It is myself before the hypnotherapy wants to call me. At least, it is now. Before, apparently, it was Adrian. It’s been a year since I landed in Norway, a year of crisp air, stunning fjords, and a life pieced back together from fragments. Six months since the hypnotherapy that was supposed to help me recover from… something. Ten years of memories, gone. Erased. Poof.I haven't pushed to get them back. There’s a reason my brain locked them away, a protective mechanism, I figured. Best to leave sleeping dogs lie, right? Except… the hollowness. It’s always there, a low thrumming ache in my chest, a feeling of incompleteness that no amount of Norwegian waffles or midnight sun can quite fill."He's gone, Adrian! Finally!" Gayle was practically bouncing off the sofa in her living room, her dark curls a chaotic halo around her head. "Dr. Olsen is gone! Fired! Lawsuit pending! Maybe even a revoked license! Can you believe it?"I grinned, the genuine r

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 93: Honor Him

    DAMIEN'S POV It’s been a year. A year of muted mornings and nights choked with silence. A year since Adrian was swept away, a year since I last saw his infuriatingly handsome face. A year of living with a guilt so profound it felt like a physical weight, pressing down on my chest, stealing my breath.I still couldn’t believe it. One year. Today.With trembling hands, I finally unlocked the door to his room. The cleaning staff had been in every week, dusting, vacuuming, making sure everything was pristine. A morbid ritual I insisted on, a futile attempt to keep him alive, at least in some small way.The air hung heavy, pregnant with ghosts. I stepped inside, the scent of lavender and sandalwood, his favorite, hitting me like a punch to the gut. My vision swam. He was everywhere. I saw him there, sitting at his desk, the lamplight haloing his blond hair, his brow furrowed in concentration as he pored over some medical reports. He’d always wear those ridiculously oversized glasses, per

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 92: Call Me Gabe

    ADRIAN'S POV The days bled then into weeks. Life in Norway settled into a rhythm, a far cry from the chaotic blank canvas I woke up to after the hypnotherapy went sideways. Luckily, Gayle was there. She was a constant, a brightly colored thread woven through the tapestry of my new life. And yes, she was a princess. Princess Gayle of Elyria, to be exact. I still couldn't quite wrap my head around it. "You look troubled, Gabe," she said one evening, her voice cutting through my melancholic reverie. We were in her ridiculously opulent living room, a space that still felt alien to me. I was sprawled on a plush velvet couch, while she perched gracefully on an ornate chair, a half-finished sketchpad in her lap. "Just… thinking," I mumbled, avoiding her gaze. "About the life I can't remember. About… everything." She sighed softly and set aside her sketchpad. "It's okay to feel that way, you know. It's a huge thing to lose so much of yourself." "I know, I know. It's just… frustrating. I

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 91: Dream or Memory?

    DAMIEN'S POVThe bass vibrated in my chest, each thump a reminder of why I hated clubs. Yet here I was, crammed into this sweaty, pulsating mass of bodies with Adrian, reliving the glory days, or at least trying to.“Remember Mrs. Higgins?” I shouted over the music, leaning close to Adrian’s ear. "The librarian? Holy moly, I still can't believe we pulled that threesome off!"Adrian laughed, the sound a little strained. “Don’t remind me. I’m pretty sure I’m still paying for that with my karma.”We were mid-reminisce about our college conquests, a pathetic attempt to recapture a youth that felt both distant and embarrassingly recent, when the club door swung open, momentarily silencing the music. A waiter, looking flustered and out of breath, threaded his way through the crowd towards us, holding a bottle of wine like it was a ticking bomb.“Compliments of the house,” he mumbled, avoiding eye contact. He slammed the bottle down on our table and scurried away as if afraid we’d ask questi

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 90: Unknown Past

    ADRIAN'S POV Her assurance was all it took. With a newfound sense of purpose, we made an appointment with the hypnotherapist the very next day. The thought of confronting my past, of delving into the depths of my pain, was daunting. But the promise of a new beginning, of a life free from the shackles of my past, was too enticing to resist."Are you sure about this, Adrian?" Gayle asked, as we sat in the waiting room, the air thick with anticipation. "It's okay if you want to back out. We can always cancel."I shook my head, my jaw set with determination. "No. I need to do this. I'm doing this for myself. And maybe… maybe I'm even doing it for Damien.""For Damien?" Gayle tilted her head, her expression questioning."Yeah," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I need to let go of the romantic feelings I have for him. It's the reason our friendship was ruined. I don't want that anymore. I want to be able to see him again, without all the baggage, without all the hurt. I want to be
