Gabriel's POV

I pushed open my office door, feeling the tightness in my chest grow as I began pacing. I knew I was about to stir things up, and there was no going back. The team’s presentations had been impressive, making the decision tough, but I’d already made up my mind. There was no need for a shortlist or further debate—I had chosen my winner.

Clairessa Hartwood.

Her presentation stood out, easily outshining Nicole’s—the friend Adrian had introduced me to, asking me to consider her app since she worked at the company.

I hadn’t yet placed Nicole on the team, wanting her to go head-to-head with whoever I chose as a final candidate. It was meant to be a favor to Adrian. Her idea for a global financial payment platform was solid but posed too many challenges for Storm Innovations at this point. We needed something revolutionary but manageable. Clairessa’s app, on the other hand, had the potential to reshape the business landscape.

It was clear I had to drop Nicole.

  • Falling For My Ex's Dad   Chapter 270: You Can't Marry Him

    Clairessa’s POV I burst out of the hall, the sound of voices still chasing me. Adrian’s voice cut through the chaos, shouting my name, his footsteps chasing after me. “Clairessa! Wait...” I couldn’t stop now. If I did, I’d fall apart. I shoved past the doors and into the night. The cool air hit my skin, almost biting, but I welcomed it. I sucked in breaths, deep, ragged, desperate, as though the air was the only thing keeping me from breaking apart. My hands shook as I wrapped my arms around myself, yet I couldn’t stop moving. I stumbled toward my car, fumbling with the keys until I got inside. My fingers trembled as I gripped the wheel. As I started driving, my eyes locked onto the ring, God, the ring, still on my finger, flashing under the city lights. “Fuck,” I muttered under my breath, slamming the wheel with my palm. The only reason I hadn’t flung that ring back at Adrian was because I couldn’t humiliate him in front of the world. The cameras, the pictures, it would’ve

  • Falling For My Ex's Dad   Chapter 269: Running From His Proposal

    Clairessa’s POV And then I saw Adrian. Standing near the stage, surrounded by a few people I didn’t recognize. The moment his eyes found me, his face lit up. “Claire!” he exclaimed warmly, excusing himself from the group. In two strides, he was in front of me, his hand resting lightly on my arm. “I’m glad you finally came. You look…” his gaze swept slowly over me, lingering before returning to my face, “…beautiful.” “Thank you,” I replied softly, though the way he said it made me all too aware of the people watching. Then Adrian spread his arms wide and before I could react, he pulled me in, wrapping me tightly against his chest as if we were lovers reunited. My breath hitched, not from the embrace itself, but from the sudden awareness that half the room was watching. Behind me, Angelique’s voice echoed, “I’ll leave you two. Seems like the moment has arrived…” Moment? What moment? My body went rigid as I broke free from Adrian’s hold. What the hell is she talking about? I turn

  • Falling For My Ex's Dad   Chapter 268: Beginning Or The End

    Clairessa’s POV Today was Adrian’s birthday, and my heart wouldn’t stop racing. It wasn’t just a celebration, it was a turning point. Today marked either the beginning or the end for Gabriel and me. No matter how much I wished I could freeze time, it wasn’t possible. Tonight, Gabriel and I were going to tell Adrian the truth, that we were completely in love with each other and had been secretly dating behind his back. The thought made my chest tighten. I could already picture the fallout, the crash, the fight that would follow. But I forced myself to breathe. It was expected. And just maybe, in time, Adrian would forgive us. At least, that was the hope we held on to. Still, it hurt that it had to be his birthday of all days. A part of me felt guilty that we were about to ruin what should have been a happy day for him. But it wasn’t entirely our fault. The timing had been against us. These past few days Gabriel was always traveling, and Adrian had been buried in what he called his

  • Falling For My Ex's Dad   Chapter 267: On Top

    Clairessa’s POV Gabriel’s smile darkened, his voice low, possessive. “And it’ll fucking stay that way. You’re mine… every inch of you.” The words hit deep, sending another pulse of heat through me even as my body tried to calm from the high he’d just wrung out of me. My chest rose and fell, each breath shaky. Just when I thought I’d had the best with him, he somehow made it better, more intense, more consuming. I slid my hands down his chest, nails dragging over hard muscle, my lips curling into a slow, dangerous smile. “Now,” I whispered, shifting onto my knees, “it’s my turn to show you.” He leaned back slightly, that devil’s smile tugging at his mouth, eyes heavy with anticipation as I swung a leg over and straddled him, feeling his heat, his size pressing between us. That smile, proud, wicked, curved his mouth. “Show me, then. Make me regret letting you on top.” I swung a leg over him, straddling his hips. My fingers traced his chest before slipping under his shirt. “Off,” I

  • Falling For My Ex's Dad   Chapter 266: Beyond Amazing

    Clairessa’s POV Gabriel’s expression shifted, softness melting into something darker, hungrier, as a low, guttural sound rumbled from his chest. “Now,” he muttered, voice rough, “can I get back to fucking you?” My eyes widened in mock outrage. “Mr. Storm… always so crude.” His lips twitched into a wicked grin. “Tell me you don’t like it when I get filthy for you… huh?” I tilted my head playfully, lips twitching, deliberately refusing to answer. He narrowed his gaze, leaning closer until his breath scorched my ear. “Sweetheart… I can make you tell me exactly what you’re feeling.” “Oh?” I asked, feigning innocence I definitely didn’t have. “And how would you do that?” His hand slid up, cupping my breast with a possessive squeeze. The warmth of his palm seeped through the thin fabric, and my breath hitched as his thumb traced slow, deliberate circles over my nipple, again and again. The friction made my skin tingle, the sensation spearing through every layer of my skin. “Yes…” I

  • Falling For My Ex's Dad   Chapter 265: Is He Proposing?

    Clairessa’s POV Marriage. He was talking about marriage. For a second, my brain short-circuited in pure joy. My heart thudded so hard I swore Gabriel could hear it. Was this… a proposal? The thought alone sent a dizzy rush through me, confusion, happiness, and disbelief all crashing together in a wave that left me breathless. My eyes widened, the air catching in my throat. “Gabriel… I… I don’t know what to say.” He smirked in that way only he could, shaking his head. “Relax. I’m not proposing tonight. But soon… I will. Because I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” My lips trembled into a smile, my chest tightening from feeling multiple emotions at once. “I want that too,” I confessed, my voice soft but sure. “I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” As I spoke, my hand moved almost of its own accord, brushing lightly over my stomach. The baby growing inside me felt suddenly heavier, not in a bad way, but in the way a gift feels when it is wrapped and hidden, wait
