Eliana 

Without thinking, I stormed for the elevators.

The private one opened with one swipe of my card. Theo had given my card access to his private systems so we could meet much more discreetly. 

I guess after what happened with Leslie, he didn't want to take chances anymore. I didn't want to take chances either. 

The elevator led to the side door to his office so I didn't have to pass the front desk where

  • 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    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    I know

    Eliana"I know,"He murmured again, brushing his fingers lightly over my lips. I parted them, moaning when his thumb slipped between them. Something wet dropped on my face.I blinked rapidly, reaching up to wipe it. Water? Anoth

  • My Bestfriend’s Daddy    Brazil
