Her Fiancé's Father's Obsession CHAPTER 68
JaneThe hotel room I lodged in was plain and soulless with beige walls, a beige carpet and abstract art that I couldn't understand hanging above a bed. I sat on the edge of the bed, my suitcase still packed by the door where I left it hours ago. I hadn't been able to bring myself to unpack. Unpacking meant accepting that I had actually done what I had done. That I had looked Julius in the eye and told him the most devastating lie I could think of.My phone buzzed again on the nightstand. I didn't have to look to know it was him. It had been buzzing constantly since I left the penthouse. I picked it up with shaking hands and saw his name on the screen. Twelve missed calls. Eight text messages. The most recent one just said, "Please, Jane. Just tell me you're safe."My thumb hovered over the screen. I wanted so badly to call him back and hear his voice. I wanted to tell him everything, but I couldn't. Hudson had made that very clear."If you tell him the truth, I'll destroy him. I'
Her Fiancé's Father's Obsession CHAPTER 67
JuliusThe penthouse was completely silent when I walked in. "Jane?" I called out, my voice rough from hours of not speaking.There was no answer. I walked through the foyer into the living room which was empty. The kitchen was empty too and my chest was getting tighter with every empty room."Jane?!" My voice was louder this time.There was still no answer.I went to the bedroom, pushing open the door, and stopped dead.The closet door was open and her side was completely empty. All her clothes, her shoes and her stuff were gone. The bathroom counter where she kept her makeup and perfume and all those mysterious products women used were cleared off like she had never been there at all.I walked back out into the living room in a daze. The books she had been reading were gone from the side table. The throw blanket she liked to wrap up in while watching TV was missing from the couch. Even the scented candle she bought that I pretended to hate but actually kind of liked was gone.Sh
Her Fiancé's Father's Obsession CHAPTER 66
JuliusI ordered the whiskey but I couldn't bring myself to drink it.It sat in front of me on the scarred wooden bar, the amber liquid catching the dim light from the neon signs on the wall. I stared at it like it might hold some answer or an explanation for what had just happened.Unfortunately, it was just whiskey. It couldn't tell me why the woman I loved had just ripped my heart out and handed it back to me in pieces.The bartender was an older guy with dark circles under his eyes who seemed to have seen enough drunk misery to know when to leave someone alone. He wiped down the other end of the bar and didn't bother me. The few other patrons were lost in their own worlds, nursing their own problems. Nobody cared about the man in the expensive suit sitting alone with an untouched drink.I thought I knew Jane. That was the thing that kept circling through my mind as I stared ahead aimlessly. I thought I knew her. I thought I understood who she was, what she wanted and what we w
Her Fiancé's Father's Obsession CHAPTER 65
JuliusI let go of Jane like I had been burned, stumbling back a step. The room was spinning. Nothing made sense. Everything I thought I knew, everything I had felt over the past few weeks was all crashing down around me."I don't believe you," My voice came out hoarse. "I don't believe any of this. There's something you're not telling me.""There's nothing else to tell," She was sobbing now, her whole body shaking. "I'm pregnant with Hudson's baby. I've been sleeping with him. That's the truth.""Stop saying that!" The words came out as a roar, all my control finally snapping. "Stop standing there and lying to my face! Whatever this is, whatever game you're playing, just stop it!""It's not a game!" She shouted back, her face crumpling. "Do you think this is a game to me? Do you think I wanted any of this?""Then why?" I demanded, my voice cracking. "If you've been sleeping with Hudson this whole time, why did you stay here? Why did you let me fall in love with you? Why did you let
Her Fiancé's Father's Obsession CHAPTER 64
JuliusI was in a damn good mood when I walked through the door that evening.My meeting had gone better than expected. I landed a deal that would have normally consumed my thoughts for the rest of the night, but as soon as I stepped into the penthouse, all I could think about was Jane.She usually came home first on some days when I had to work later than usual.I loosened my tie as I walked through the foyer, listening for sounds of her presence. Music from the kitchen or the soft pad of her feet on the marble floors. She had a way of moving through my space that made it feel less like a cold showpiece and more like a home."Jane?" I called out."In here."Her voice came from the living room, and something in her tone made me pause. It was flat and lifeless and nothing like the warm, slightly teasing way she usually greeted me when I came home.I found her sitting on the edge of the sofa, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. She was still wearing the elegant dress she had worn t
Her Fiancé's Father's Obsession CHAPTER 63
JaneMy legs felt weak. I slid down the wall until I was sitting on the dirty ground, my expensive dress that Julius had bought me pooling around me."What do you want from me?" I asked again, but this time, my voice was hollow. Hudson crouched down in front of me, his eyes gleaming with triumph. "I want you to tell Julius the truth.""The truth?""I want you to tell him the baby isn't his. I want you to tell him it's mine."The world tilted. For a moment, I thought I actually might vomit right there in the alley."You're insane," I whispered. "Why would I do that?""Because if you don't, I'm going to release every single one of these photos to the media. The Times, the Post, every gossip blog and tabloid in the city. By tomorrow morning, everyone will know that you fucked your fiancé's father in a parking garage while wearing your wedding dress. They'll know you've been living with him. They'll know you're pregnant, and I'll make sure everyone believes you did it for the money.""Ju

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

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

JaneMy eyes locked with Julius’s and in that moment, I saw my own desperation reflected back at me.“Please,” I whispered, my hands sliding up his chest to frame his face. “Please make me forget. Just for a few minutes. Make me forget Hudson. Make me forget—” My voice cracked. “Make me forget eve
