Her Fiancé's Father's Obsession CHAPTER 188
HudsonThree weeks into living in my own apartment, I finally had to admit something I had been trying to ignore.I missed Maribel badly.I still saw her every day at the cafe, worked my shifts, talked to her during breaks and shared meals in the back office when things were slow, but it wasn't the same.I missed waking up to the sound of her moving around the kitchen, humming off key to whatever song was stuck in her head. I missed the casual conversations we would have My apartment was nice. The window let in good morning light and the landlord had been nothing but kind since I moved in.I had furnished it slowly over the past few weeks. There was now a proper bed frame instead of just a mattress on the floor, a small table with two chairs in case I ever had a guest, which seemed unlikely, and the bookshelf I had built with Maribel was now filled with the books I had been buying.It should have felt like victory. I had gone from sleeping on the street outside a cafe to having my ow
Her Fiancé's Father's Obsession CHAPTER 187
MaribelHudson and I spent the entire Saturday looking at apartments. We had made a list of five possibilities based on his budget, and I had insisted on coming with him to every single viewing."You need a second pair of eyes. Someone to check for things like mold and broken fixtures and sketchy landlords." I had said when he tried to protest."I think I can handle it." Hudson had replied, but there was no real conviction in his voice."Humor me." I had said, and he had smiled in that soft way that showed that he was grateful but didn't know how to say it.The first apartment we saw was decent. Small, but clean. The landlord seemed nice enough, and the rent was within Hudson's budget, but something about it felt off to me. The lighting was harsh and fluorescent, making everything look cold and uninviting."What do you think?" Hudson had asked as we walked back to the car."It's fine." I had said carefully."But?" "But you'd be miserable there. That lighting alone would give you a h
Her Fiancé's Father's Obsession CHAPTER 186
HudsonI stared at the check inside the envelope in my hand and my lips wobbled slightly.This was my third payment from tutoring this month, and I tried to process the number. The number was even more than I thought I would ever be able to make from tutoring kids and it was all thanks to Jane.She had introduced me to some parents in Theo's school whose kids needed extra tutoring and those parents also recommended me to other parents and now I was making a generous amount of money which was honestly more than I deserved.Combined with my warehouse paychecks, which had doubled since my promotion last week, I finally had enough money to get a place and stop living on Maribel's couch.It would be wise and considerate to give her back the space I had been occupying for months.I should have felt excited and relieved because this was what I had been working toward. I had been saving every dollar, taking every tutoring session Jane had sent my way and working double shifts at the warehous
Her Fiancé's Father's Obsession CHAPTER 185
HudsonI couldn't believe I was actually enjoying myself.The thought hit me suddenly as I stood in the corner of the living room, watching Theo open another present with that infectious enthusiasm only children seemed to possess.I was at a birthday party. A family gathering, and nobody was being mean to me.Sure, there had been curious looks when I first arrived, dripping wet and clearly uncomfortable. A few of the other guests had glanced between me and Julius with barely concealed confusion, probably wondering why I had been invited. After all, everything I had done wasn't exactly a secret. People would have heard, but surprisingly, no one had said anything about it yet.Maribel caught my eye from across the room and grinned, giving me a subtle thumbs up. I smiled back, feeling warmth spread through my chest.This was nice and normal. This was what family gatherings were supposed to feel like, and I had forgotten what that was like.Theo was showing off his new book to one of hi
Her Fiancé's Father's Obsession CHAPTER 184
HudsonI watched my father approach through the rain-streaked windshield, my heart hammering so hard I thought it might break through my ribs.Every instinct screamed at me to start the car and drive away before he reached me. I could disappear and leave Maribel to catch a ride with someone else.I could avoid whatever was about to happen, but deep down, I knew I couldn't do that to her.I also couldn't move. I was frozen, watching my father close the distance between us with that same purposeful stride that used to terrify me as a child when I knew I had done something wrong.He reached the car and knocked on the window firmly, twice.I couldn't ignore him. I rolled down the window with trembling hands, the cold rain immediately misting into the car."Hudson." My father said, and his voice was neutral. It was not warm, but it was not hostile either. "I was just waiting for Maribel. I'm not trying to cause any problems. I'll leave if you want me to." I managed to say, my voice slight
Her Fiancé's Father's Obsession CHAPTER 183
HudsonI heard about a birthday party from Maribel a few days before it happened.She had been sorting through her mail at the cafe when she opened a cream-colored envelope with embossed lettering and her face lit up."Oh! Jane invited me to Theo's birthday party," She had said with genuine happiness in her voice. "It's at their penthouse on Saturday evening."Something sad rose in my chest. It was definitely not jealousy, but a mix of longing and acceptance that I would never be part of those moments. I would never get an invite to stuff like this and why would I after everything I had done?"That's great," I had said, and I meant it. "I'm really happy she invited you."Maribel had looked at me with concern. "Hudson.""No, really," I had interrupted quickly. "I'm glad. You and Jane are good friends. That's important. I don't expect to be invited to family stuff. I'm just grateful I get to tutor Theo."And I was grateful. So incredibly grateful that Jane and Julius had given me even

JaneJulius froze. For one terrible, endless moment, his lips were still against mine and his body was rigid with shock. I had made a mistake. A horrible and irreversible mistake. I was kissing my fiancé's father. The man who was supposed to become my father-in-law in less than twenty minutes. Wh

JaneJulius Armstrong's piercing grey gaze locked with mine, and I didn’t think it was possible, but the humiliation grew even worse. It wasn't enough that I had caught my fiancé fucking my best friend minutes before our wedding. It wasn't enough that Hudson had kept going, had mocked me and had

JaneThe woman staring back at me in the mirror looked like a bride. White lace clung to curves I had learned to hide and to despise. My auburn hair was pinned into an elegant updo that had taken the stylist two hours. My makeup had been carefully applied to make my green eyes look less tired and

HudsonI straightened my tie in the bathroom mirror, checking my reflection with satisfaction. I was perfectly composed and there was not a strand of hair out of place. No one would ever know I had just spent the last twenty minutes balls-deep in my fiancée's best friend.Maribel emerged from the
