Eliana 

I held my breath until he looked away and drove. We spent the rest of the ride in silence. It was just after dawn and yet the main streets were getting busier, people flooding in and out of cafes, clutching to go cups filled with hot steaming coffee- except for those weirdos who preferred iced teas instead. 

I pressed my forehead against the cool window glass. Two weeks to pay the rest. Vincent's words circled in my head like vulture

  • My Bestfriend’s Daddy    Paparazzi

    ElianaPeople usually think that being in the media meant cameras at red carpets and your name and photo splashed across several articles.They weren't wrong, but not all right either. It was more than that.I woke up at six in the morning to some fifteen missed calls from a number I didn't recognize, opened my front door to find two photographers on my porch, clicking their cameras in my face. One of the articles floating around about the lawsuit with Leslie had used a picture from my university graduation that I still had no idea how they had gotten it and my coworkers were suddenly asking me questions directly.It was exhausting as hell.I sat in the courtroom, brushing my fingers against each other nervously as Leslie's Lawyer debated."Miss Ashcroft had provoked Miss Maxwell to answer, eliciting the dramati

  • My Bestfriend’s Daddy    Prison?

    ElianaMaxwell's words rang in my head as I walked into Theodore's office....So you're the reason my daughter's going to prison...I set the folder on Theodore's desk and stood there trying to collect myself while he closed the door behind me. My hands weren't shaking and I was proud of that. They wanted to but I wasn't going to give Maxwell that satisfaction, not even privately, alone in a room with just Theodore watching.He did not scare me. I refused to be scared of him."What did he mean by that?" I turned to face Theodore. "Is Leslie going to prison?"He leaned against the edge of his desk, arms folded across his chest, those blue eyes gazing at me softly. "Because I'm pressing charges."My lips parted in surprise. "Against Leslie?""Yeah,"Oh no. Oh yes? Should I be happy

  • My Bestfriend’s Daddy    You'll regret this

    TheodoreI answered on the third ring."Theodore." Maxwell's voice came through, "I think we need to talk.""Oh, do we now?"He gave a low chuckle. "Come on, don't be like that. We're reasonable men. We can work this out. How soon can we see?""I'll have my secretary contact you with the details.""Theo don't be like that, man," the teasing tone in his voice only had my blood boiling more. He sounded as if he was so sure that I would let Leslie go eventually.I hung up before he could say anything else and stood there on the terrace, phone in hand, staring out at the city below. The sun beat down on the back of my neck, the pool water lapped gently against the tiles....If I didn't know better, I would think you were sleeping with her...The look on her face when she said i

  • My Bestfriend’s Daddy    Playing victim

    TheodoreThe officers hauled Leslie through the terrace door, her screaming voice finally cutting off as they dragged her out of sight. Silence crashed down on the terrace, broken only by the gentle lapping of pool water and the distant hum of the city below us.My shoulders sagged in relief. Dammit that had been close. I was a hundred percent sure that Leslie had just been about to expose my relationship with Eliana. I could only imagine the frenzy that would throw Serena into.My daughter stood before me, her towel clutched around her, staring at the empty doorway where her friend had just been arrested."Jesus," She let out a long breath, running a hand through her wet hair. "I hadn't realized Leslie was that crazy. Kidnapping someone? Even that's pretty extreme."I gave a grunt. "That's exactly why you need to be more selective with your friends, Seren

    Theodore"Sir, we've confirmed Leslie Maxwell's location."The call came through while I was in my car heading to the office."Where?" I demanded, my jaw tightening."Your daughter's residence, sir. It seemed she spent the night there,"My blood boiled in my veins. Leslie with my daughter who had no idea what kind of monster her friend really was."Get a police unit there now." My voice was deadly calm despite the rage that burned through my veins. "I want officers ready to move the moment I give the signal, but no one goes in until I say so.""Understood, sir."I ended the call and immediately dialed Serena's number but it went to voicemail.My chest tightened with worry. Serena was completely unaware that she was spending her afternoon with someone who had kidnapped and tortured an innocent woman.

    ElianaThe office felt different when I walked in Tuesday morning.My phone had been buzzing non stop since I had gotten out of the cab but I had ignored them all. Theo had wanted me to stay home, had demanded for me to take more time off, but I did not need my co workers in my case for missing a day and work was the one thing that still felt like mine.Or so I had thought.The elevator ride to the marketing floor took forever, each ding of passing levels making my stomach tighten, and when the doors finally opened onto the marketing bullpen, the conversation died.Everyone turned to stare. That was the first sign that shit was about to go down and I should have known better.I kept my head high anyway, my spine straight, as I walked to my office like I couldn't feel their eyes tracking my every movement. I was terribly late, I knew th

    ElianaThe driver's side door opened and Steven stepped out, dressed in his usual dark suit. He gave me a nod."Miss Ashcroft.""Steven." I mumbled, peeking in the backseat of the car to see if Theodore was there.

    ElianaThe picture on the screen was an old, low quality photograph of a teenage girl, chugging down a rather large bottle of milk in a school cafeteria table while everyone pointed and laughed. A huge text was scrawled across the photo.

    ElianaMy hand trembled as I slid it down between my legs. My fingers slipped between the slick pink folds as they puckered apart and found my clit all swollen and aching. I circled it once and pleasure sparked through me."Slower," Theodore growled while
