My phone buzzed during a conference call with the Tokyo office.
I glanced at the screen and realized that it was Lia.
Three calls from her? Was she safe?
"Excuse me, gentlemen. I need to take this." I muted the conference call and answered. "Eliana?"
"Did you see it?" Her voice was high as she stumbled over her words, panicking. "Oh my god, oh my... Did you... Theo, did you

My Bestfriend’s Daddy A fool
TheodoreI watched the footage almost forty times.Not consecutively. I would watch it, stop it, rewind it and watch it again. Normal speed at first, then frame by frame, then normal speed again. I was stuck in my study, I hadn't even noticed when the room had gone dark, the blue glow of my monitor reflecting on my face as I watched Eliana steal from me on a loop.Except.She was too calm.That was the thing I kept snagging on, the thread I couldn't stop pulling. I knew how Eliana moved when she was afraid. I knew by heart and mind, how her face would scrunch up, her eyes darting around, lips trembling in fear and there was none of that.Her accusations rang in my head, her teary face as she recounted that night eight years ago. God I had forgotten all about that. I didn't even know it was Eliana. It hadn't been a question of whether I believed he
My Bestfriend’s Daddy Resignation
ElianaI typed the resignation letter at four in the morning.I had learned, somewhere in the whole wreck of the past year, that the things that cost the most to say take the fewest words. I sent it before I could talk myself out of it, closed my laptop and sat in the dark listening to the city outside.I felt lighter. Like I had just put down something I had been carrying for a very long time.By morning, mom's face was everywhere."Ashcroft Heiress Found in City Care Home — Wife of Suicide Billionaire Living on Charity."That was the polite headline. The rest weren't all so good. By midmorning the comment sections had hardened into something else. People who had lost jobs when the Ashcroft industry collapsed, people who had lost investments, savings and homes. Fourteen years of accumulated fury was now suddenly given a face, a location, a
My Bestfriend’s Daddy That look
Eliana"I believe you."Three words. He said them looking directly at me, his hands still covering mine on the table.But his eyes said something else entirely. They flickered warily at me, his brows furrowed and I knew, I knew that look."You... You do?" I asked, arching my brows."I'll tell them not to press charges so don't worry about it. All that matters is-""I didn't steal it," I insisted, pulling my hands away from him."Lia, all that matters is that you're fine. I don't care about the cold wallet," he said tiredly.I knew that look. That was the thing that hollowed me out from the inside, standing there in that interrogation room under the fluorescent lights. I knew that look because I had seen it before, on a younger version of his face, in a different room, a
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 Back home where she belongs
ElianaI woke to an empty bed and for one horrible moment, panic seized my chest.He left.Of course he left, why would he stay with someone like me, someone who brought nothing but chaos into his life? My hand reached across the shee
My Bestfriend’s Daddy Location
Theodore"We found them, sir."The words came through my phone at 6:47 AM, just as the first rays of sunlight were breaking through Eliana's bedroom window. Her chest rose and fell softly as she slept, looking more at peace than I had seen her last night.
My Bestfriend’s Daddy Independence
TheodoreThe whiskey burned going down my throat but did nothing to dull the words still ringing in my head."Maybe I'm tired of you thinking you can fix everything. I have a life outside of you, Theodore. Not everything can be solved by your money or you
My Bestfriend’s Daddy The psychopath
Eliana"Seriously though, what were you two talking about?" Serena's hissed, her eyes darting between me and Leslie."Oh, nothing important." Leslie waved a dismissive hand, her lips still pulled in that ridiculous smile. "Just ran into each other and tho
