Theodore

I snatched the phone from Serena's hand faster than I meant to.

"It's no one."

Her eyebrows rose. "No one texts that much."

I slipped the phone into my pocket, my pulse hammering. She must have seen the name. I'd never been more happy to have saved Eliana's contact as Lia. The hell Serena would have raked tonight would be unimaginable. "Don't worry about it, princess."

  • My Bestfriend’s Daddy    Will they survive the raging storm?

    Theodore.My phone buzzed against the table.I ignored it."-which means the Seattle projections need to account for the time zone differences when we're scheduling the client calls, otherwise we're looking at a problem-"It buzzed again. It was the security men back at my penthouse. I had left Eliana back at the penthouse. My brow furrowed. Did something happen? I pushed back from the table mid-sentence, held up a hand toward the people in the conference room. "Excuse me,""What happened?" I demanded once I was in the corridor."Sir." He muttered. "There has been a breach at the penthouse. Someone accessed your uh... safe in the study. We've recovered the property and the individual involved is currently at the police station. They're requesting your presence."That made no sense. Who could have gotten past

  • My Bestfriend’s Daddy    The set-up

    Eliana"Who's after you?" I yanked my arm out of his grip. "Damon, who-""It doesn't matter." He was moving through my apartment, checking the windows, keeping his body below the sill when he looked out. "Just close the blinds. Close them right now.""I'm not doing anything until you tell me what's happening."He turned from the window and looked at me with something wild in his eyes, and then he crossed to my dining table and dropped the box he'd been carrying under his arm. It hit the wood with a heavy, solid sound.He flipped it open and my eyes narrowed at the small device inside it. It looked like nothing, like something you'd pass over completely if you didn't know what you were looking at.I knew what I was looking at."Damon." My voice came out very quiet and shaky. A nervous laugh fell from my lips and I glanced up at him. "Tell

  • My Bestfriend’s Daddy    A lot is going on

    ElianaI had no idea how long I stood in front of that safe, but it was quite a while.It had been long enough for Theo's voice in the hallway to wind down, for the call to end and his footsteps to move toward the kitchen. Bright sunlight filtered into the study and I repeated the passcode of the safe in my head.The numbers of Serena's birthday. I was standing at the edge of something I could never come back from, for both decisions and yet my hand never lifted.I thought about my mother hugging me tightly, Serena's voice saying 'final warning'. All the walls were closing in from every direction until the only door left was this one, this room, this safe, this betrayal.My hand wouldn't lift. I dropped the painting in its position, turned around and walked out, pulling the study door shut behind me without looking back.There was only one w

  • My Bestfriend’s Daddy    A crucial decision

    ElianaMy phone rang while my mother's hand was still moving through my hair.Theodore.I stared at his name on the screen and felt my chest tighten painfully. I answered before the second ring because not answering would have worried him and the last thing I needed right now was Theodore Blackwell arriving at this care home in full crisis mode."Where are you, flower? You aren't home," he murmured.I looked at my mother's hand resting on top of mine. "The care home.""I'll be there in twenty minutes.""Theo, you don't have to-""Nineteen minutes then," He said gruffly and hung up.Serena was gone by the time his car pulled up. I had watched from the window as her sleek black car slid away from the curb and disappeared around the corner. Only then had I gone to the bathroom and run col

  • My Bestfriend’s Daddy    Serena's antics

    Eliana"Oh, now we can add harassment to the list of your crimes I guess,," Serena chuckled, the phone still raised at me. "There's quite a list already. Slut, thief, gold digger and now, harassment too. This fits beautifully."I let go of Claire who gave a small whimper and quickly rushed back into the room, putting myself between her and my mother's bed. My arms spread out to shield mom from whatever video she was working with. "Put the phone down."Serena smiled and stepped left. I moved in with her. She stepped right and I matched it, keeping my body between that camera and the woman lying in the bed behind me."Is everything alright, Eliana?""Hi Mrs Ashcroft," Serena said cheerily and I hoped to God that mom wouldn't remember who she was."Everything's fine, Mom." I lied through my teeth."It really is." Sere

  • My Bestfriend’s Daddy    Blackmailing her

    Eliana"What do you want?!" I spat at his face and he let go of my air, rising on his feet."Four hundred million dollars."The number dropped into the room and sat there between us, so heavy and outrageous, it had me pushing off the floor. My palms screamed where the hardwood had torn into them, my knees throbbing, but I pressed through it, got my feet under me, straightened my spine until I was eye level with him."You're not getting a dime from me."Damon laughed, arching his brows at me. "Are you sure about that?""Get out of my apartment.""Eliana." He moved to my kitchen counter and leaned against it, crossing his ankles. "Your name is on every site, every comment section, every group chat in this city right now. People have already decided who you are. Do you really want to hand them more ammunition to use against

  • My Bestfriend’s Daddy    What kind of best friend is this?

    Eliana"Well, well." Serena's voice came from behind me just as my hand touched the door handle to my office. "You're looking remarkably healthy for someone who almost died."Oh Lord give me strength, not this again. 

  • My Bestfriend’s Daddy    Guilt

    ElianaI did, thrills shooting up my spine when his free hand moved to my throat. His fingers wrapped around it lightly, feeling me swallow under his palm."Fuck." He cursed and set the fork down. His hand tightened a little on my throat. "You almost died

    ElianaMy body moved.Pure instinct threw me sideways as a thousand pounds of crystal and metal plummeted toward where I had been standing.I hit the marble floor hard. Pain exploded through my shoulder and my hip. The chandelier cras
