Gavin’s POV

I pulled up to the front of the pent house just as the sun began its descent, painting the sky in shades of amber and rose.

She was already waiting outside.

The moment she saw my car, her face lit up with excitement, it looked so much like Melissa's happy face. She practically ran to the passenger side, and before I could even step out, she’d opened the door and slid in.

“Gavin!” She leaned across the console and kissed my cheek, her perfume…something floral and expensive…filling the car. “I’ve been so excited since you called. Where are we going?”

I pulled away from the curb without answering immediately, my hands steady on the wheel.

“You’ll see,” I said, smiling faintly.

She settled back into her seat, practically vibrating with anticipation. “You’re being so mysterious. Is this about the charity gala or our engagement party? Or the merger? Oh! Are we celebrating something?”

“Diana.”

Something in my tone made her pause. Made the smile falter just slightly.

“Yes?”

“Just…

  • Craving My Mother's Hot Fiancé   Chapter 63

    Melissa’s POVI made my way back to the gala on shaking legs.The corridor felt longer than before. Each step was an effort. My lip throbbed. My neck ached. Everything hurt and I wanted nothing more than to go home.When I pushed through the doors, the party was still in full swing. Music played. People laughed and danced like nothing had happened. Like the world hadn’t just tilted sideways.I scanned the crowd, searching for Aria.I found her near the bar with Kane, her burgundy dress was like a beacon. She was pale, her arms wrapped around herself, looking small and lost.I pushed through the crowd toward her.“Melissa!” She turned when she saw me, relief flooding her face. Then her expression changed. “Oh my God, what happened to your face?”Her hands came up to cup my cheeks, her eyes scanning the split in my lip, the smudged makeup, the marks I knew were forming on my neck.“I’m okay,” I said, trying to force a smile.“You’re not okay.” Her voice was firm. “Who did this? Was it…”

    Melissa’s POV“Gavin?” I whispered again, my thumb brushing across his cheekbone.He was quiet. Too quiet. Just staring at me with those dark eyes that seemed different somehow. Less guarded. “Are you okay?” I asked softly. My hand was still on his face, feeling the tension in his jaw. “Gavin, what’s going on? What’s with all those symbols? And who is Lord Zeus?”He didn’t answer. Just kept looking at me like I was something he was trying to memorize. Then, in a voice rougher than I’d ever heard from him: “Do you love me?”I blinked. “What?”“Do you love me?” He repeated, his hand coming up to cover mine against his cheek. His touch was different. Warmer, maybe. Or was I imagining it?“Are you okay? What’s wrong with…”“Do you love me, Melissa?” His voice cracked slightly on my name, and something in his eyes looked almost… desperate.I looked around the empty corridor. This was so sudden. So unlike him. Gavin didn’t ask questions like this. He didn’t ask.But those eyes… they were

    Melissa’s POVKane stood immediately, his movements fluid and controlled. He looked down at us. His eyes swept the empty hallway, lingering on the shadows like he could see something we couldn’t.“We should go inside,” he said quietly. “Before anyone sees you like this and starts asking questions.”He was right. Aria’s cheek was already showing the red mark from Christian’s slap. My dress was wrinkled from tackling him. We looked like exactly what we were…two girls who’d just been in a fight.Kane extended his hand to me first. I took it, letting him pull me to my feet. Then together, we helped Aria up.She was trembling. I kept my arm around her waist, holding her steady.“Can you walk?” I asked softly, reaching out to arrange her hair.She nodded, but I didn’t believe her. Still, we didn’t have much choice.She leaned heavily against me as we walked. Kane followed close behind, his presence somehow both comforting and unsettling.When we pushed through the doors back into the main h

  • Craving My Mother's Hot Fiancé   Chapter 60

    Aria’s POVI stood against the wall like a decoration.A pretty, expensive decoration in a burgundy dress . I watched couples swirl across the dance floor. Watched waiters glide past with champagne. Christian was everywhere. Every time I turned around, he was there. His hand on my elbow. His breath on my neck. His voice in my ear, reminding me to smile, to stand up straight, to stop looking so miserable.“You’re representing both our families tonight,” he’d whispered earlier. “Try to look like you’re not attending a funeral.”But that’s exactly what this felt like. My funeral. The death of any future I’d ever wanted for myself.I caught Melissa’s eye across the room. She was dancing with Jason, Gavin’s son, and even from this distance I could see the tension in her shoulders. We were both trapped in our own particular hells tonight.At least she had someone who looked at her like Gavin looked at her…like she was the only person in the room, like she was worth burning the world down f

  • Craving My Mother's Hot Fiancé   Chapter 59

    Melissa’s POVI couldn’t shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong.Mom had disappeared into the crowd, leaving me standing there with a champagne flute I didn’t remember picking up. The crystal felt cold against my palm.Aria was across the room, trapped in conversation with an older couple who kept touching her arm possessively. Her smile was weird. Her eyes screamed for help.And Gavin…Gavin was making his way toward me through the crowd.People stopped him every few steps. A handshake here. A brief word there. But his eyes never left mine. They were dark, intense burning with something I couldn’t quite name.When he finally reached me, he didn’t touch me. He didn’t even stand too close. But the air between us felt charged.“Melissa.” His voice was low. “You came.”“Aria needed me.” I took a sip of champagne, needing something to do with my hands. “What happened with my mom?”His jaw tightened almost imperceptibly. “Not here.”“Gavin…”“Not. Here.” His eyes flicked aroun

  • Craving My Mother's Hot Fiancé   Chapter 58

    Melissa’s POVI woke up with my neck aching.For a moment, I just lay there on Aria’s couch, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling, trying to piece together where I was and why every muscle in my body felt stiff.Then it came back. The bar. My confession, Aria being drunk and bringing her home.I stretched carefully, wincing at the crick in my neck, and sat up. Morning light filtered through the curtains, painting everything in soft gold. It was a very beautiful sight to see. I reached for my phone and took a picture of it. After taking a minute to arrange my thoughts, I slipped off the couch and padded quietly toward Aria’s bedroom. The door was open. Her bed was empty, the sheets rumpled but no sign of her.Then I noticed the bathroom door was slightly ajar,with a sliver of light spilling through.I walked over and pushed it open gently.Aria sat on the bathroom floor, with her back against the tub, and her knees pulled to her chest. Just sitting there, staring out the small window abo
