(Chelsea's POV)

“Oh, yeah,” Victor said with a teasing grin. “They talk about his voice, his hands, that sharp jawline. Some even say they wouldn’t mind being called into his office for a private meeting.”

I felt my face heat up. “That’s— that’s ridiculous.”

“Is it?” Victor asked, folding his arms. “I mean, come on, the man doesn’t even look like he’s in his forties. He’s got that whole ageless power thing going on. Maybe it’s the way he carries himself. The way he seems ruthless, cold, commanding and always in control. People love that sort of thing.”

I looked away, pretending to focus on the last bits of shattered mug I’d swept into a dustpan. My ears were burning again.

“Maybe,” I muttered, avoiding his eyes. “I wouldn’t know.”

Victor tilted his head, catching the tone of my voice immediately. "So you're saying you don't think he’s attractive?"

I opened my mouth, then closed it again.

The image of Leonard’s amber eyes flashed in my mind, that intense gaze that always seemed to pin

    (Chelsea's POV)His hand was on my back as he led me back into the club and then out through the front. His hand felt gentle on my back, quite the opposite from the man who just snapped someone's bone without blinking. It should comfort me. Instead, something twisted painfully inside me. Because I shouldn't even want his comfort.I shouldn't even want him.Not after what I saw. Him with that woman in the club. He had even kissed her."Slow down." Leonard murmured. "You're walking too fast."I didn't even realize I was practically speed-walking. Like if I slowed down, the reality would catch me."I'm fine," I whispered."You're not."He was right. But I didn't want to hear it. None of it.We stepped out into the night. The air was cold enough to sting but his jacket which hung heavy around me protected me, hiding the mess of my torn shirt."Chelsea." He stopped me and turned me around to face him. "look at me." He said.And his eyes. God, those eyes... looked sexy while they held anger

  • Ex Boyfriend Betrayed Me: His Dad is Mine   Chapter 24

    (Leonard's POV)I came to the club to drink as usual while I tried to forget all the mistakes I'd made in my life and foolish things I'd done which still haunted me every now and then. But there was one thing I couldn't erase despite the whiskey which burned sharp down my throat.The thought of Chelsea.Every time I blinked, I remembered myself inside of her.I took another another gulp of whiskey, staring at bodies grinding on each other. It didn't distract me as I had hoped."Hey, baby. Long time no see."Jessica's sweet and sugary perfume hit my nose before I lifted my head and saw her. She stood in front of me and leaned close, glossy lips pursed and blonde hair falling over one eye in a way that used to excite me.Now it only irritated me."Jessica." I said flatly."Mmh, don't sound so surprised." She slid onto the seat beside me without asking and crossed her legs slowly like everything she thought about was how to seduce me into getting in bed with her. Even if she'd get paid l

    (Chelsea's POV)My breath stopped the sooner I kept staring at the dance floor, staring past it and then I saw Leonard sitting at a table, his shirt unbuttoned at the collar, sleeves rolled to his forearms, relaxing in his chair like he was sitting on a throne.But that wasn't the part that hit me. It was the woman draped I've him, one leg crossed over his thigh and her fingers curled under his chin while she tilted his face towards hers. Her body was pressed into his side like she'd been there a hundred times and his hand rested on her knee.What the hell?Something inside me snapped so fast it stole the air from my lungs."Holy shit," Victor muttered. "Speak of the devil."I realized Victor had traced my gaze and found me staring at Leonard Grey across the room."Isn’t that Jessica?" He added."Jessica?" My voice sounded awful. "You… you know her?"He gave me a look like I just asked if the sky was blue. "Yeah. She’s been to the office plenty of times. Everyone knows something’s goi

    (Chelsea's POV)The door handle turned and it felt like my nostrils had stopped collecting oxygen. Every muscle in my body snapped tight. Leonard’s hand was still around my waist and I realized the sudden doom I was about to face.He was coming in. Adrian was coming in. And any moment from now, he was going to see me in his father's room, wearing his father's t-shirt.Even if Leonard didn't have his hand wrapped around my waist, how was I going to begin to explain? There was no time to even run or hide.The handle moved another fraction."Wait!" Leonard barked.The handle froze."Uh… what?" Adrian asked from the other side.Leonard exhaled sharply, shoulders dropping an inch as he pinched the bridge of his nose before saying, "Don’t come in. I’m… I’m naked."I clamped a hand over my mouth. Naked? That was what he went with? How was that supposed to help the situation?Adrian made a disgusted sound. "Ew—what? Why?""Because," Leonard clenched his jaw. "I have someone in the room with m

  • Ex Boyfriend Betrayed Me: His Dad is Mine   Chapter 21

    (Leonard's POV)I'd messed up. I'd known it the moment I tried to take her home and I ended up having my mouth pressed against hers.This very girl had refused to get off my mind so much I wanted to believe there was something she was doing to me.A voodoo doll?No, don't be ridiculous, Leonard. Voodoo dolls are probably not related. But charms were.I didn't even know the start and the finish. Was it when I'd first met her that night and she left without saying goodbye? Before finishing what we'd gone to do? Or was it when I'd had sex with her and realized she was a virgin?I was supposed to stay away but I just couldn't. My dick would get hard every time I thought about her. Even when I saw her at the office after, it just made everything worse and I thought to clear my head at a bar but I guess the devil himself wanted to see me fall because she was right there too and a man was trying to sexually assault her so I couldn't just stand by and watch. I had to do something!But this gi

  • Ex Boyfriend Betrayed Me: His Dad is Mine   Chapter 20

    (Chelsea's POV)I didn't even have time to say no. He just pulled me away. He didn't stop until he was dragging me out of the club. I stared at his face all through, a hundred thousand thoughts crossing my mind at once.I was going to protest. I was going to say, "I can handle myself. Leave me alone." But my voice didn’t work.He dragged me through the crowd, out the club, past the bouncer, and onto the street until we reached a black SUV.Then he faced me and released me against his car where I rested my back and he trapped me against it by coming so close, so close that his cologne choked me. "What are you doing in a place like this dressed like that?"I looked down at myself. Yes, my dress was short but it wasn't nearly as short as the silver dress I wore at the party in Paris when he first took my virginity.And what was I supposed to wear to a club, some kind of wedding dress?Before waiting for me to utter a response, he attacked me with another question. "And what were you thin
