Her Fiancé's Father's Obsession CHAPTER 167
HudsonThe public library had become my refuge in ways I hadn't expected.Between warehouse shifts and helping Maribel at the cafe, I carved out time almost every week to sit at my usual table by the window on the second floor, surrounded by textbooks and notebooks full of barely legible handwriting.Today I was working through a chapter on customer retention strategies, highlighting passages and making notes in the margins. The warehouse supervisor had mentioned they were looking for someone to help with client relations eventually, and I wanted to be ready if the opportunity came.I was so absorbed in reading that I didn't notice the group of students entering the library until I heard a familiar voice say, "There he is!"I looked up to see the kid from a few days ago. The one I had helped with fractions. He was with a group of other kids around his age, all carrying backpacks and talking in the hushed tones that libraries demanded.His face lit up when our eyes met, and something w

MaribelOne morning I woke up thinking about Hudson and realized with a jolt of alarm that the thought made me smile instead of filling me with guilt or dread.I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, trying to pinpoint exactly when things had become like this. When had I stopped seeing him as a penance and a debt to pay forward, and started seeing him as just Hudson and not the monster who had destroyed Jane. Not the entitled asshole who had used me for sex while planning his wedding. Just a man who was desperately trying to be better than he was, working two jobs, studying at the library and treating every customer like they were special.A man who hummed while making coffee, who remembered that Mrs. Smith took her latte extra hot and who helped the kids at the cafe.The realization terrified me because this wasn't supposed to happen.When we were together before, if you could even call it that, there had been no feelings involved. It was purely physical and transactional. He wanted

HudsonThe public library became my sanctuary. Between warehouse shifts and helping out at Maribel's cafe, I started spending every spare hour there. It was quiet, free, and nobody cared that I was an ex-con trying to figure out how to turn his life around.The business section was on the second floor, tucked away in a corner where natural light filtered through tall windows. I claimed the same table by the window as my regular spot, spreading out whatever books I checked out that week alongside my notebook.Today it was "Marketing Fundamentals for Small Business" and "Financial Planning Strategies." They contained dense and complicated stuff that made my brain hurt, but I was determined to understand it.I had been reading about target demographics for maybe an hour when I heard a frustrated sigh from the table next to mine.I glanced over and saw a kid sitting there. He was maybe elementary school age, surrounded by textbooks and papers. His backpack was on the floor next to him
Her Fiancé's Father's Obsession CHAPTER 164
HudsonI got a job at a warehouse a few weeks later and honestly, I almost didn't believe it was real.I had been unloading trucks at a construction site, sweating through my shirt before noon, when one of the foremen mentioned his brother-in-law needed workers at a distribution center across town. It offered better pay, better hours and actual benefits if you lasted ninety days.I took the bus there during my lunch break. Walked in with hands still covered in concrete dust and filled out the application expecting to get rejected. The manager glanced at my prison record, looked me up and down, and said, "You show up on time, work hard, don't steal, we're good. Can you start Monday?"Just like that. I still couldn't believe it, but I started Monday.The warehouse was different. Instead of breaking my back in the sun, I was inside organizing inventory, operating forklifts and managing shipments. It required me to actually think instead of just surviving until the end of the day.My

HudsonI was back in the cabin. Jane was tied to the chair, her pregnant belly swollen and she was crying. She kept saying my name over and over. "Hudson, please. Hudson, don't do this."But I wasn't listening. I was too consumed by rage and the twisted belief that I deserved her and that she owed me. I could hear my own venomous and cruel voice telling her she would never leave, that the baby was mine and that I would make her understand.Then the scene moved. I was watching myself from outside my body. I saw the monster I had been. I saw Jane's terrified face, the way she flinched when I moved too close and the protective way she curved her body around her unborn child.I tried to scream at myself to stop. I tried to reach out and pull that version of me away from her, but I couldn't move. I was frozen and forced to watch myself destroy the woman who had never deserved any of it.The scene changed again to the wedding day. Jane stood in the doorway, watching me with Maribel and

HudsonI didn't stop running until my lungs burned and my legs threatened to give out. I didn't even know which direction I was going. I just wanted to get away from the cafe and away from Jane, the woman whose life I had nearly destroyed.The city blurred past me in streaks of color and chaos. People yelled as I shoved past them. A car horn blared when I stumbled into the street without looking. I didn't care because I couldn't stop. If I stopped, I would have to think about what almost happened. I would have to face the fact that I had been twenty feet away from Jane, serving coffee in a cafe like I had any right to exist in the same world as her.My chest was heaving by the time I reached Maribel's apartment building. I fumbled with the key she had given me, my hands shaking so badly it took three tries to get it into the lock.I stumbled inside and the door slammed shut behind me. That was when everything crashed down on me at once.I saw Jane's face. Not the one from today, th

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

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

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
