Her Father's Friend 84. The Shadow
The week passed quickly for Cassie.She started doing pilates again after a long pause since she wanted to be ready for the pool party. Not because of self-respect, she only wanted Mathias to see her body in its best shape. That’s why she hid from him the whole week.She left for work earlier than usual, came home late and kept her pilates session inside her room instead of out on the patio.Work was also intense this week and thanks to those exercises, she didn’t feel as tired as she had on previous days. She needed to keep exercising, for real. Since Cassie had been arriving earlier than ever at Le’touile Patisserie, Ellie couldn’t interrupt her schedule. The girl wasn’t as annoying as before, though. Since Ellie had distracted Mrs. Raptis when the woman humiliated her in the patisserie, Cassie had started feeling more sympathetic toward the girl. On Wednesday, she created a group chat for the pool party and texted the girls from high school to invite them to Avra’s house. There
Her Father's Friend 83. Still a Dessert
The sound of the exterior door interrupts Cassie’s inner thoughts. “Arva! We back!” Little Lena’s joyful shout comes before she appears at the entrance of the living room. So, Emily Raptis is back as well.On another day, even the thought of encountering this woman would cause Cassie to feel anxious at the highest level. Her palms would get sweaty and her throat would be dry. But now, it’s different. Lena enters the living room with a blue balloon and runs toward Avra. When she sees Cassie, her surprised gasp makes her look even happier. “Sisi!” Instead of her big sister, Lena hugs Cassie first. “Hi, sweetie!” She hugs the little girl back with affection. The clicking sound of high heels annoys Cassie’s ears and after a few seconds, Emily Raptis appears at the entrance of the living room. Cassie waits for that familiar, unpleasant feeling to capture her body, that panic to make her want to hide behind the giant couch.To her great surprise, it doesn’t happen.Emily Raptis isn’
Her Father's Friend 82. A Bad Father
Cassie is angry at herself. Why did she have to remind him of Avra's situation?!Mathias was into her again but when Cassie questioned his previous decision, he retreated. It was clear the man felt guilty, she could see it in his eyes. Then he exited the kitchen and didn’t even hear her last words, leaving Cassie with her own stupidity. The moment Mathias disappears, Avra enters the kitchen from the other door. Cassie turns her back to her to hide the turmoil inside her and holds the whisk. “Is this enough vanilla sticks, Cass?” Avra asks, walking toward her with them. However, there is a problem. Cassie didn’t mix the filling while Mathias was holding her while they were kissing and the mixture is kind of… burnt. Avra comes near her. “What’s this smell?”“Umm…” How can she explain this failure? “Oh, no!” Avra whines. “Is it burnt?”What can Cassie say? She was standing right in front of the stove and the filling got ruined because of something magical? This is beyond suspicio
Her Father's Friend 81. Not a Father
After the night they met, Emilia’s fierce memory lingered in Mathias's mind for a short while. But once school started, he met prettier girls around the campus. And by the end of the first week, Mathias had completely forgotten about that girl in Florida. Even her name had slipped from his memory.Yet, Emilia reminded him of herself in a way impossible to forget.When Mathias came back to New York to visit his father during the semester break, the Latina girl appeared at his door. Pregnant. With his baby. Emilia’s hand had rested on her swollen belly. A sneaky, knowing smile curling her lips, telling him without a word that it was too late to say goodbye to the baby. Mathias’s mind raced, flashing back to that night in Florida: the tequila game, the passion she ignited inside him, the girl’s mischievous eyes, her dance, the hotel room, the night of lust…It had all come back to slam into him like a wave of regret.His hands trembled at his sides, words failing him as the full weigh
Her Father's Friend 80. A Good Father
Mathias knew better. He knew he shouldn’t steal a kiss from Cassie since he never managed to stop once things got out of his hands. However… Finding her in the middle of his kitchen all of a sudden clouded his good senses. As if her alluring look wasn’t enough, she polished it with that seductive attitude, those naughty glances and mischievous smiles. No need to mention her sassiness while putting those plates into the dishwasher. That little witch. How could Mathias resist any of it, for God’s sake? Especially after days of not seeing her–not even from a distance. Also he’d had a bad week. Between the heavy meetings, he had met his father’s attorney, Mr. Robinson and the vile man had asked Mathias if he would agree to abandon his daughters. It was a shitty week, for real. Then, without any clue, this girl landed in his kitchen like a gift from the universe. Or a punishment. At first, he teased her back, implied he still remembered her vanilla sauce, holding her gaz
Her Father's Friend 79. Playing with Fire
“Okay.” Avra finally manages to switch the stove on. “Um, how long should I boil it?”Cassie smiles at her excitement. “No need to boil it, actually. Just stir it until it thickens.”Avra blinks cluelessly. “And… when does it thicken exactly?”Cassie giggles affectionately this time. “Less than ten minutes.”“You think I’m an idiot, right?” Avra giggles at herself. “Still, I’m playing with fire here.”“Shush!” Cassie playfully slaps her friend’s arm. “Don’t say such things. Start stirring, chop chop!”While Avra is busy with the filling, Cassie starts organizing the mess they’ve made. She gathers the dirty bowls from the counter and begins loading them into the dishwasher. Of course, her intention isn’t to leave a spotless kitchen for Mrs. Raptis.Since Mathias is still there, she turns it into a little show. She bends over more than necessary, arching subtly as she places each dish inside– slowly, very slowly.“Hey, girls.” Mathias calls out behind them.“Yes, dad?” Avra turns to her
Her Father's Friend 65. Broken Pride
Cassie is cursing herself as she grabs the door handle of Mathias’s home office. The man already told her over the phone that they wouldn’t meet for a while. But still, Cassie asked him to come to her room like a helpless delulu. And of course, Mathias rejected her. Does she sound too clingy? Is

Cassie’s cheeks are burning with anger as she walks through the hallway of the Raptis House. How dare she? How dare Emily kiss Mathias with such passion right in front of her?! A terrible headache suddenly hits Cassie. Fisting her hands, she stops in the middle of the hallway. The way Emily’s h

When he gets in the parking lot of that restaurant, Mathias sits in his car for a while. He was fine when he left Robinson like a wounded wolf. But now, alone with his thoughts, the old memories haunt him mercilessly. Leaning his head back against the driver’s seat, Mathias closes his eyes and let

“What are you gonna do about it then?” Cassie murmurs, flicks her tongue on his lips.“I think…” Mathias sends an arm around her waist and presses her onto his chest even more. “...I should teach you how to behave.”He suddenly lifts her and puts his knees onto the bed. Cassie yelps as they fall ont
