last update 게시일: 2026-04-15 15:47:55

The beginning of a new month came quickly for Tessa. She resumed her job at Kensington Realty. Plans duly made, head held high, she was ready to work hard and smash all the goals she had set for herself.

She had an office to herself. A glass-partitioned workspace that sat between the CEO's and the Director of Operations' office. There was a minimalist desk crammed with neatly stacked files and a laptop. As she surveyed her new office, she fell in love with the setup. Sleek and simple.

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Dad   74. Bathroom quickie

    “Hey, Adrian,” Maribel moved between him and the portrait, cutting off his focus before he could linger on it. “Meet Tessa, my best friend.” She introduced. “She decides if you’ll have me or not.”The corner of Adrian’s mouth lifted slightly. His eyes swept over Tessa once, quick and reluctant, before he forced them away. Tessa shivered inwardly. There was something about this man. Something dark, as if he were hiding behind a façade that anyone but Maribel could see.“Nice meeting you, Tessa.” His smile grew bigger as he asked, “Do you approve of our relationship?”The tone sounded too malicious, but Tessa returned his smile, saying. “Of course. Anything that makes Bel happy makes me happy too, and thanks for coming here today. It’s good to finally see you.”Maribel stared at them, smiling the whole time they conversed. “He has met Dad and Bianca.” She told her friend.“Great,” Tessa’s eyes darted across the room to rest on Julian.He stood pressed against the wall. His shoulders w

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Dad   73. The introduction

    By two pm, guests have started filing into Julian’s mansion, accompanied by the different gifts they had brought with them. Tessa and Maribel ushered them in, ensuring they had prepared everything needed for the mini party to be successful.Tessa was attending to a couple when a shriek echoed through the room. Maribel. Without turning to look, she knew Bianca’s arrival was the reason for the raucous from her best friend.“Let me know if you’d like anything else. I’ll attend to you.” She offered the couple a strained smile, picking up the tray as she headed to the kitchen. She was ready to hide from Bianca as much as she could today.Tessa was a few steps away from sliding into the kitchen when she heard her name. She stiffened. It was Bianca this time. She was already approaching, her lips curled in a too-bright smile that made the knot of jealousy in Tessa’s chest tighten.She noticed something as Bianca drew closer to her—she wasn’t matching with Julian as planned. A sigh of relief

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Dad   72. Birthday surprise

    It was 4:30 am on a Sunday morning. Tessa was tossing on her bed, trying to get some sleep before the day's celebration started. In a few minutes, Maribel would come to get her for the first birthday surprise they’d planned for Julian.Sleep was slowly creeping in when she heard a bang at her door. Whining, she covered her ears with her pillows. She needed to get some sleep. “Tessa, open up, it’s time to surprise Dad.” Maribel’s voice rang from outside. She muttered a curse under her breath as she begrudgingly rolled out of bed. It was finally time. According to their plan, Maribel would go into his room at exactly five am to wake him and bring him downstairs to cut the cake, and there would be a party later that day. A party fully planned and sponsored by them. Julian had no idea his house would soon be flooded later today.She slid on her flip-flops and headed towards the door, but not without glancing at the wall clock. They still had about twenty minutes to go. Why was Maribel r

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Dad   71. Entertaining Daddy

    She had been avoiding Julian’s calls since she got back from Bianca’s house. All the information the older woman had divulged about Julian was enough to make her jealousy reach apogee. Another woman who knew him more than she did.‘A woman’s dignity was not in chasing a man.’ Bianca’s words echoed in Tessa’s mind again. She had been the one to chase Julian, seduced him until he started sleeping with her, and now, their normal fuck affairs had transcended just sex. It had grown into something more organic, something she had never imagined would happen when she started seducing him a few months ago.Julian had grown into an important part of her life, one she never wanted to live without. How did they get here? Tessa stepped out of the bathtub, water still dripping from her skin. Fetching a towel from the wall rack, she draped it around her body and strolled into the room to do her skincare routine while pondering on everything Bianca had told them today. She settled into the cushioned

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Dad   70. A woman’s dignity

    Soft footsteps descended the stairs, revealing Bianca in her full grace. More beautiful and elegant than the last time Tessa had seen her. If Maribel wanted this woman for her father, Tessa knew she didn’t even come close. Bianca’s presence intimidated her, but she never wanted to admit that.A house worker in uniform bowed in reverence, gesturing to Tessa and Maribel. A few words were exchanged between them before Bianca walked closer to join them in the vast living room that showcased her wealth in its fullest form.Marble floors gleaming under crystal chandeliers, designer furniture arranged with effortless precision, and floor-to-ceiling windows dressed in sheer silk. All Tessa would never be able to afford unless she worked her ass off for years.“I have been waiting for you to bring your friend to me.” Bianca opened her arms to receive Maribel. “How have you been, dear?” She glimpsed Tessa and smiled. “You’re finally here, Tessa.” She let go of Maribel, gathering Tessa in her ar

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Dad   69. Making plans

    Tessa was in Mirabel’s room, helping her sort out dresses she’d need for the new modeling gig she was auditioning for. Most of her best dresses no longer fit, and the few ones she was able to pick weren’t her style.Maribel flopped on the bed, wriggling her legs dramatically. “I need a wardrobe change. New set of designer outfits. The ones here are no longer in vogue.”Tessa wasn’t surprised. She had known her friend to have a thing for luxury since their time together in college. She wore the latest designs. Her father could afford her expensive lifestyle.“The red dress suits you, Bel.” She knew her opinion wouldn’t count once Maribel’s mind had already been made up about getting new dresses, but she decided to try anyway.“I’m ordering dresses. Come help me choose.” Maribel responded, sitting up to make room for Tessa beside her, “Here,” she pointed at a dress. “This is the vibe. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for.” Snapping her fingers, she continued her online shopping sp

    Sebastian’s eyes widened in shock. A burning heat spread through his body at her call for a deeper connection. The desire he’d been suppressing had just ignited in its fullest form. Raw, running beyond his control.“Tessa,” he tilted his head slightly to look at her.She should back away now that he

    Night had drawn in by the time they arrived at their destination. As they walked in, Tessa still did not understand why they were there, in an enclosed market built from marble, glass, and soft golden lightning. Of all the places to visit in Ballawin, Sebastian brought her to a market.Lights shim

    It was a mini estate. The access road and boulevards were under professional development, and the construction of the main buildings had started.
