~ Anyssa’s Pov ~

I fell onto the bed, trying to catch my breath. Ronan slowly rubbed my wrists as he laid down beside me. His other hand wrapped me in a bear hug. Who would have thought that aftercare following being thoroughly fucked could feel so good?

“Hmm, this is nice. Do you always do this to all the girls who come to see you?”

He laughed, understanding the joke. I love how easy it is with him. I don’t need to explain a joke or my sarcastic comment.

“Now you want to ruin the fun.”

  • Craving My Father's Best Friend   Chapter 91: One Year Ago

    ~ Ronan's Pov ~ Flashback | One Year AgoI had hurried out of the meeting to rush back home. It had been a few months since we found out we had a baby on the way, and I'd been extra careful with her. She loved to overwork herself and worry, so I made it my job to protect her.I had driven to the closest McDonald's, as she had fallen in love with their fries, and headed home. Soon enough, I reached the house. Chanel stood outside the door, both hands in front of her. The security men outside had worried expressions on their faces as I got out of the car and walked to the door.“What's the matter?”“It's… it's,” Chanel stuttered.“Spit it out.”“It's madam, sir. I tried to offer her food and she refused. She locked herself up in the room and we've been trying to get her out.”“What do you mean?”“She's acting… violent this time.”I shoved the takeaways into their hands and walked into the house, calling her name as I climbed the stairs. She'd been acting different lately; her behavior

  • Craving My Father's Best Friend   Chapter 90: Truth

    ~ Ronan’s Pov ~ I opened the front door as Anyssa walked inside the house. I followed suit, dropping her luggage on the couch.She stood in the middle of the house, hands crossed over each other in front of her.“I want to know everything.”After the scene at the house, she had decided to come home with me. I didn't refuse, and this time, I would tell her everything she needed to know.“I don't want lies. I don't want you to sugarcoat it for me. I need to know what happened, even if I don't remember it. Please, I need to know, Ronan. I need to know everything.”“It started with the car crash.”I walked right up to her and held her hand, pulling her close to the other couch as I sat. Her eyes were teary, and I could tell she was scared.“Mavis had somehow blackmailed you into leaving the city with him, and somehow, you alerted me. I was so scared that I left what I was doing and ran to you…but I was too late.”I shivered, a cold wave washing over my body. I could still remember the wa

  • Craving My Father's Best Friend   Chapter 89: Ruby

    ~ Anyssa's Pov ~ Two days hiding away from Ronan and everyone. Two days in my room, back at my father's house.After giving it much thought, I decided to leave. I showered, dressed nicely, and walked out of my room. My phone pinged with another notification from Ronan, of course.He should just leave me alone. I'm not ready to talk unless he tells me the truth. Besides, I had decided to start something of my own. I had sent in a few applications to work at a bank. My college certificate was some years old. I shot a quick text to Vanessa. She had been working in Boston for a brand recently, posting on social media, and I couldn't be happier for her.I continued down the stairs, not noticing when I bumped into someone.“Finally, you decided to come out.”“Dad. I've been waiting for you, my sweet.”He held my hand as we walked downstairs. The house was empty, with some of the servants around but barely anyone else.“Where is everyone?”“Oh, your stepmother decided to join the help to co

  • Craving My Father's Best Friend   Chapter 88: Notification

    ~ Anyssa's Pov ~ I clung to the sheets as soon as Ronan stood up. Those were the best hours of my life.“I need to shower,” he said. He kissed me and strutted off to the bathroom. A notification popped up on his phone, and I turned toward where it lay.‘Unknown number: How many more times do I have to beg you to be mine? Yet you're probably in bed with that psycho who can't even remember her own memories or the fact that she's a murderer.’I froze, rereading the text.A murderer? A psycho?Who the hell was this, and why was she texting Ronan's phone? I picked it up, and another message came in.‘No matter how much you fight off the attraction we have for each other, I won't back down until you choose me and not that psychotic murderer.’My hands swiped over the screen, trying to unlock his phone. What was the password?Suddenly, the bathroom door opened, and I was too shocked to drop the phone immediately.“I'm sorry,” I said, dropping it on the bed. “A notification came up, and I wa

  • Craving My Father's Best Friend   Chapter 87: Perfect dinner

    ~ Anyssa's Pov ~Has Ronan been lying to me all this time? I shouldn't think about this. I should ask my husband directly, letting it get to me would only blow things out of proportion.“I know that you're worried about me, Ruby, and I really appreciate that. But this is something my husband and I can settle. Since I'm fine with it, everything is good. I trust my husband. I believe he is a good man and wouldn't lie to me about something so big.”The expression on her face fell. I felt uneasy afterward. I knew she just cared, but there was just something off about her.“It's okay then. I just want you to be happy. I know we've had our differences in the past, and I apologize for that. If my sister is happy and comfortable, then I am too.”I smiled, pulling her into a hug.“Thank you.”The front door opened immediately, and Ronan walked into the house. His eyes landed on us right away.“You're back!” I rushed over to him.“Yeah, I didn't know we were having company. I'm so sorry, baby, t

    ~ Ronan's Pov ~“Your three o’clock is ready, sir,” Lilian, my secretary, informed me.I nodded, finishing up the little work I had left on my computer.“Oh, sir, Ms. Ruby Calder has been waiting at reception for thirty minutes. She said she won't leave until you speak to her.”I looked up and shook my head in annoyance.“Let her in.”She won't leave until she sees me, and I need to finish this once and for all. Lilian nodded and walked out the door. In seconds, Ruby walked through it.“I guess people do change. I didn't think you would agree to see me, Ronan.”She walked in and took a seat, earning a glare from me.“What are you doing here? And did I ask you to sit?”She sighed. “Why would you tell a woman that, Ronan? Besides, I won't leave here until I get my answer. You've been avoiding me.”“No. My answer is no. It has been no and always will be. Now, the door is that way, see yourself out.”I focused back on my work. Her presence disgusted me. I didn't know what to say. What wou

    ~ Anyssa's Pov ~ “So… you don't want to be with him, or what?” Vanessa asked over the phone. I could sense her confusion. Vanessa has been my very good friend, but there was no need to tell her everything about me or my family. Anyone who knew her knew how much she idolized and loved my father. It

That shouldn't matter to me. I threw out the blank cheque and cash she left on my couch. Good riddance.That's the least
