Falling For My Father's Best Friend CH 80
[TWO WEEKS LATER]Two weeks passed like fog. No one at the hospital breathed Lukas's name. Not once. The records we'd worked so hard to scrub stayed clean, every trace of him carefully wiped from the system. The empty chair in the conference room had been swapped out for a new one; it blended right in, and nobody so much as glanced twice at where the old one used to sit. When anyone asked about the Berger heir, all they got was a vague shrug and "something with the family business." The fear that had been coiled tight in my chest for months finally loosened its grip. I wasn't just getting by anymore-I was okay. Moving forward didn't feel like a distant dream. It was possible. Hard? Sure, but within reach.Saturday morning hit me like a brick wall. My head felt stuffed with cotton wool, mouth dry as dust from the too-many cocktails Olga and I had knocked back the night before. We'd started at her place with lime margaritas, then moved on to tequila shots when we got onto the topic of

The afternoon shift dragged like wet cement. I moved through the corridors on muscle memory-checking IVs, updating charts, answering call bells-keeping my head down so no one would ask why my eyes looked bruised from crying I hadn't let myself do yet. Joshua hadn't shown up. No black SUV idling in the staff lot. No tall shadow waiting at the end of a hallway. Part of me was relieved. The bigger part kept glancing toward the east wing like Lukas might appear around the corner, sleeves rolled up, smiling that tired, perfect smile he used to wear like armor. I hadn't gone to his office. Couldn't. What would I even say? "Sorry I kissed you back yesterday and then ran? Sorry I still can't choose?" I was restocking the crash cart on the surgical floor when Dew appeared-teal scrubs, phone already out, expression somewhere between gossip and genuine concern."Hey, girl," he said, voice low. "Why didn't you tell me?"I froze, hand halfway to a new bag of saline. "Tell you what?"He turned t

I dressed like someone on autopilot. Navy scrub pants that had seen better days, plain white tee underneath, the same faded grey hoodie from yesterday pulled over everything. Hair in a low, messy ponytail that didn't even pretend to be neat. No makeup. No jewelry. Just sneakers and the small crossbody bag slung across my chest like armor. The bus ride was quiet inside my head. No racing thoughts. No replaying last night, or yesterday's hospital hallway, or Mateo's voice. I just stared out the window at grey buildings sliding past, let the engine rumble up through my bones, and breathed. Worrying wouldn't change the mess. It never had.When I stepped off at the hospital stop, the cold air slapped my cheeks awake. I walked through the staff entrance, badge swipe, nod at the security guard who never smiled. Straight to the locker room.Dew was already there-leaning against the lockers in his bright teal scrubs, scrolling his phone, one foot tapping like he was waiting for the world to c

Light was already leaking through the blackout curtains when my eyes opened. The room smelled like sex and his cologne and of course, regret. My thighs ached-deep, bruising ache-every muscle felt pulled too tight, used too hard. I lay there for a long second, staring at the ceiling, feeling the sticky residue between my legs, the faint throb in my scalp where he'd yanked my hair, the ghost of his handprints on my ass.I wanted last night. God, I wanted it. But waking up next to him felt like stepping into a room like this felt...I moved slow. Slid out from under his arm-he was still asleep, chest rising steady, face slack in a way that made my stomach twist. I gathered my things in silence: crumpled scrubs, phone, small crossbody bag I'd left on the chair. No note. No goodbye. Just the soft click of the door behind me.The hallway was too bright. I kept my head down in the elevator, arms wrapped around myself like that could hold everything in. Uber was already waiting when I step

It was really him.I snatched the glass from the bartender-Black Russian, dark as sin-and threw it back in one go.Damn! That burn .The burn hit my throat like a cut. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, eyes locked on Mateo. Tears kept coming, hot and stupid, sliding down my cheeks while I stood there swaying. My fingers curled into fists so tight my nails bit skin. Shame crawled up my spine-shame for crying in front of him, shame for wanting him, shame for every time I'd let Lukas hold me while I pictured this exact face. I stepped closer. Close enough that I could smell his cologne; wood, smoke, something expensive and wrong. "You really stalked me here?" My voice cracked. "You tracked me like some fucking psycho?" He didn't flinch. Just watched me, eyes steady, jaw tight. I couldn't even tell what he was thinking.I shoved a finger into his chest. "You're obsessed. You're fucking stupid. And I hate-" My breath hitched. "I can't even hate you." Mateo stayed still. No smi

**ISABELLA'S POV**Around noon I was still in scrubs, hair stuck to my neck with sweat, stumbling out of OR 3 after helping Dr. Müller with a total mess of an appendectomy. The patient's gut had perforated – pus everywhere, stench thick enough to taste – and I'd held retractors for forty minutes straight until my arms felt like they'd been twisted in a vice. I scrubbed out at the sink, water hot enough to sting my skin, trying to breathe through the ache that'd settled deep in my chest.Dew was next to me, sleeves rolled up high, washing his hands too. His pager buzzed and he glanced at it, tapping back a reply so fast his fingers blurred."Dr. Mark," he said, voice low like he was complaining about a kid in class. "Thinks I'm his personal secretary."I smiled – the tired kind that doesn't reach your eyes.He kept going, talking like he couldn't hold it in anymore."Met someone yesterday. Nice guy. We had drinks after shift. He laughed at my jokes – real laughs, not that polite 'I'm b
