Enora:

He left, and I was left alone in the conference room. Finally, I could take a breath of fresh air. Those eyes lingering on me made me break into a sweat in the air-conditioned room.

My breath caught in my throat as an image of Mr. Kane’s green eyes and piercing stare flashed through my mind.

I could see the way Mr. Wright looked at him with disdain, the way both of them fought for control and dominance in the room as they negotiated.

I had watched Mr. Wright negotiate many business deals, but they were nothing like what I had just witnessed. It was like watching Mr. Wright haggle with himself—a younger, green-eyed version of himself.

My fingers ran across the keyboard as I put the finishing touches to the minute that I would print and send out to the Legal department alongside the new contract that Mr. Kane and his team had provided.

Today was the most stressful day of my entire life. Thank god the workday was almost over. I could go home and…

A shiver ran down my spine and my

  • My Best Friend’s Father Wants me   Chapter 315

    Enora:Saturday was the coldest I had ever felt. I didn’t even want to get out of bed. My phone was my companion and I couldn’t help checking it every few minutes. There were no texts or calls from Nathan. I rolled over, away from the sun, my chest tight and my stomach churning. It was time to get up, but I pulled the covers over my head. I didn’t want to. I didn’t have the courage to see Nathan's face, not after last night. That was why I ran away when I heard him getting closer to the door. “I am such a coward,” I mumbled into a pillow, hugging it so tight that I cut off all the circulation in my arms. If I didn’t get my act together soon, I was going to rot in this bed. The letter that Nathan had written to me last night was on the bed side table and I reached for it. I read it over and over again. He wanted to see me. I had no reason to be hiding out in my room. I wanted to see him too, but I had no idea how to even start. How the hell do you start a normal conversation with th

  • My Best Friend’s Father Wants me   Chapter 314

    Enora:I could feel her eyes on me. I turned to the door but there was no one there. I knew that it wasn’t my imagination. “I will call you back, Henry.”The call ended and my heart was racing in my chest. She saw my letter. Did she want to talk about it?I waited for her to knock on the door, to come in and I could finally see her face again, but there was nothing but silence. I walked to the door and when I poked my head out I saw nothing. The hallway was dark. It didn’t seem like anyone had been here. But I knew that she had been here. I knew that she had been watching me. She ran away without even saying a word to me and I felt my heart shatter. That wasn’t fair. Back at my desk, I sat down and sighed with my head in my hand. My phone was beside me on my desk. I had been on a call with Henry but with the news that I was hearing, I wasn’t in a rush to call him back soon. Another warehouse had been raided. There was a break in and nothing had really been taken, instead, everythi

  • My Best Friend’s Father Wants me   Chapter 313

    Enora:His jaw dropped, his eyes widened and my chest tightened. I had to. I couldn’t accept. I was scared, skeptical. “Why? Did I do something wrong?” he asked. “No. I… I’m just worried.”“About what?”I took a deep breath, but I was still trembling. “Dakota, her proposal… I want to be sure that you aren’t asking me to marry you because you want to capitalize on her proposal.”He said nothing.“Is this part of it? Are you doing this for the business or because you actually want to be with me?”“Enora–”He took my hand and squeezed it. “–I love you and I’ve always wanted to be with you. I want to marry you. The business thing is just an added perk.”“Added perk?”I pulled my hands away and looked at him in disbelief.“No. I’m sorry. It… It came out wrong…”“No,” I said, standing up and wiping a tear that was streaming down my face. “It came out exactly the way it was meant to. Marrying me is just a means to an end, isn’t it?”Hearing the words from my mouth made me tremble. They h

  • My Best Friend’s Father Wants me   Chapter 312

    Nathan:We got out of the car and I carried her bridal style to the building. She pouted and kissed my cheek. “You know that you don’t have to carry me. I can walk on my own.”I grinned. “It’s practice. I have to make sure that I can carry you on our wedding day.”Her mouth opened and clamped shut. Her face burned red and she buried her face in my neck. There is no way I was going to leave her single, carrying my child. “Why are you hiding?”“I’m not hiding,” she mumbled, burying her face further into my neck. I chuckled and held her up with one arm as I fished for my keys in my pocket. Her skin was so soft and the smell of the alcohol clung to her. It was a different scent on her but intoxicating all the same. Too bad that she couldn’t drink any alcohol. I missed the taste of wine and champagne off her lips.The door opened and I turned on the lights. The room was illuminated and I walked to the sofa. Enoar tried to get off, but I pulled her onto my lap as she sat down. “You ar

  • My Best Friend’s Father Wants me   Chapter 311

    Enora:I went back to the VIP room and all attention was on me. Nathan and Jasper stopped playing their poll and both looked at me with worried expressions. Everyone wanted to say something, but everyone was lip-tight. “I’m alright. She just wanted to talk,” I said calmly, slipping back into my seat next to Nicki. Nathan’s face looked terribly pale. Could I really blame him? His daughter had rejected him in front of everyone. My chest tightened as I remembered what Bridget said about her father not caring. Nathan was strict but at the end of the day, he wanted to raise Bridget well. I couldn’t believe it when he told me that his ex wife would have been even more strict with Bridget. I always thought her to be a very calm and flowery individual, even though no one had really met her because she died when Bridget was very young. “Uhmm… What’s the score?” I asked Jay, shifting the attention from me to the game that Nathan and Jasper had started so furiously. “He’s winning,”Jasper sai

  • My Best Friend’s Father Wants me   Chapter 310

    Enora:I choked on my drink and coughed hard. How did she even know I was here? I looked around at everyone in the room but they were just as shocked as I was. “Bridget, are you…”Nathan walked up to her and tried to touch her but she shrugged him away and gave him an acid glare. She walked past him and walked straight up to me. My hand holding the rest of my drink began to tremble. Her face looked tired and worn out. Her clothes were far from the fashionable stuff she used to wear and she looked pale and almost sickly. What had been happening to her?“I need to talk to you. Enora. Alone and in private.”I looked over her shoulder at Nathan. His jaw was clenched tight. Jasper gave me a knowing nod. Everyone else was silent. Emily hid her face in Luke’s chest and Nicki focused on her nails. I had put off responding to her messages for a while. I guess there was nothing that I could do about it now. I set my drink down and we went over to a quiet corner. She shook her head, frowning
