last update Last Updated: 2024-11-13 03:03:22

Sometimes, just when you think you’ve finally reached solid ground, life finds a way to pull the rug out from under you. One moment, everything seems to be falling into place, and the next, it's unraveling faster than you can hold it together.

Evelyn and Jacob are bracing for the fiercest storm they've ever faced—a storm that will test them in ways they never imagined. This isn't just another bump in the road; it’s a plunge into depths they’ve never explored. Get ready, because this time, they’re on a rollercoaster that’s about to dive even deeper, with twists and turns they may not come back from unchanged.

It’s time to dive deeper.

“You’re too young for a child, Evelyn. Don’t you get it?” Jacob’s voice thundered. “You can’t have that baby.”

“Why not?!” I shot back, defiant and trembling. “I have a say in this too! This is my choice. I’m keeping the baby, Jacob, whether you like it or not.”

Jacob groaned, running a frustrated hand through his hair. “Evelyn, I really don’t have time for this shit. Just... just get rid of that thing. End of discussion.”

“‘Get rid of it?’” I took a step closer, anger flaring hot. In that moment, I wondered if I’d ever truly known him. “How dare you talk about our child like that? Right now, you sound like a cold, heartless piece of shit. Do you fucking care about anything in your life, Jacob?”

“Evelyn, that’s not what I meant—” he started, but I wasn’t about to let him twist his words.

“You called it ‘that thing,’” I hissed, my voice thick with anger. “It’s not just ‘a thing.’ It’s our child, Jacob. Our blood. A part of us. How can you stand there and dismiss it like it’s nothing? How dare you?!”

Jacob sighed, breaking eye contact, his gaze shifting to the night sky outside the balcony as if hoping it held some answer. “Look, Evelyn,” he said after a moment, voice weary. “I’m tired of fighting about this every day. You’re too young to be a mother. You have your whole life ahead of you. Don’t make a decision like this on a whim. Think it through. Fucking think!”

“Is that what you’re worried about? Or is it just that you’re not ready to be a father?” I asked, the question hanging between us like a challenge.

He stilled, his jaw clenched, breathing heavy. For a moment, he was silent, his fists tight by his sides. Then he looked at me, eyes red and hair tousled from running his fingers through it too many times. “Fine,” he whispered, raw. “You want the truth? I’m not ready to be a father. I never will be. You need to accept that. The sooner you do, the less it’ll hurt.”

***

Just when I thought everything was fine, life threw me a curveball.

I was pregnant. But the one person I'd thought would always stand by me was now the one trying to tear me down. He saw our child as a mistake. So what was I supposed to do? I was 'too young' to be a mother, according to everyone else. But I already felt this inexplicable bond with the life growing inside me. What do you do when the person you love most stands against what you want? When your past haunts you just as you're trying to look ahead?

I didn't have all the answers. But I knew one thing.

I had to fight. Because with the storm in my life Tyler Ricci was back—stronger than ever—and this time, he wouldn't let me walk away unscathed.

Many trust and turns but the chapters are so far away from each other that by the time a new chapter comes I have to retread the last chapter to remember what I read 3 months ago

  • My Dad's Bestfriend    The Escape Plan

    Evelyn "What's the plan?" I asked Chloe, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand after finishing the water she'd given me.God. I hadn't realized how parched I was until now. It was like pouring water over a desert—bottomless, dry, aching.She looked at me for a moment, then exhaled slowly. "If I'm being honest? There's no perfect plan. Nothing with a hundred percent chance of success. Not against a man like Tyler." Her eyes were honest—raw and unguarded. "But what I can promise you is this: you're going to make it out of here. Alive. With your baby. Even if the plan fails, I'll make sure you don't."She gave me a small, weary smile and reached across to squeeze my hand."It's late," she added gently. "You should try to sleep a little.""B-but—" My voice cracked with resistance. I didn't want to sleep. Sleeping felt too much like surrender."I know," she cut in softly. "But I can't make the call to Jacob right now. Even though I want to. Tyler's got this place locked down with every

  • My Dad's Bestfriend    The Ex Again?

    EvelynTyler’s words froze me where I sat. Every inch of my body locked up, every nerve screaming. The horror twisted in me, deeper than words could reach. My breathing hitched, sharp and fast, as fear sunk like claws into my skin.“W-what?” I whispered, my voice trembling.He placed both hands on the armrests of the chair, caging me in. My muscles ached from how tightly I’d been holding myself together, how long I’d been clenching against panic. I had a small window—maybe I could push him, run—but he had a knife. And I had to protect my baby.A single fall could take her from me. I couldn’t risk it.“Still a little hazy?” he mused, smirking. “Has the sedative not worn off yet?”Then, colder that bastard added, “I told you to get naked, Evelyn.”Disgust rose like bile in my throat, tangling with the fear in my stomach, “No,” I said, stronger than I expected. “I’m not doing that.”I pressed back into the chair, desperate to breathe right, but my lungs weren’t listening. The air tasted

  • My Dad's Bestfriend    With The Enemy

    EvelynThe knife trembled in his grip, his knuckles whitening as his gaze flickered between me and the blade lodged deep into the armrest. His breathing was uneven, his chest rising and falling with the weight of something dark, something I couldn’t name. Then, in a sudden burst of motion, he ripped the knife free and hurled it against the wall with a sharp thunk.“Don’t fucking push me, you goddamn woman!” His voice was raw, frayed at the edges. “I can’t kill you.”A beat of silence. Then as he noticed the surprise in my eyes, he added quickly, “Yet. I can’t kill you yet!”A chill slid down my spine.I didn’t know what war he was fighting inside his head, but I didn’t care—not now. Survival was the only thing that mattered. Mine and my baby’s. If I had to destroy this broken, volatile version of Tyler to make it out alive, I would. But my hands were tied, my body useless, leaving me with only one weapon—his mind. If I could plant the right seed, twist the right nerve…maybe he’d let

  • My Dad's Bestfriend    No Ends

    Jacob That bastard got to her.And the regret in my chest—fuck, it had never burned this deep.I shouldn't have left her alone. I knew she was reckless. I knew she'd try to do something desperate, yet I still walked away, believing I could get to her before she made another one of her damn escape plans.But never—never—while driving back home did I think I'd receive that call.Bianca. Sobbing. Panicking. Screaming that Tyler Ricci had his hands on my Evie. And our baby.I swear to God, my heart stopped beating. Terror, rage, the sickening flood of possibilities—each one worse than the last—slammed into my ribs, clawing at my insides, threatening to break me apart.I didn't know what to do. I'd called the police. Taken every legal step I could. But I knew—deep down, I fucking knew—this wouldn't be enough. Tyler wasn't the same coward who once feared the media, feared the consequences. That version of him was gone.He wanted revenge. By any means. So here I was, gripping the wheel of m

  • My Dad's Bestfriend    Darkness Only

    EvelynMy eyes blinked open to darkness. Well, a room barely deserving the name. Crumbling walls, shattered water pipes, and the constant drip of water hitting the damp floor surrounded me. The cold wetness had seeped through my boots, and sweat slicked my skin—not from heat, but from the suffocating gag biting into my mouth."Well, well." His voice slithered through the room, echoing off the broken walls and scraping against my nerves. "Someone's finally awake, huh?"Through the haze of drowsiness, I saw him. Tyler. He stood before me, a knife glinting in his hand, the blade catching what little light filtered through the cracks. The silence wrapped around us, broken only by the distant chirping of crickets. No passing cars, no sign of life—just isolation. Wherever I was, it was a place no one with good intentions would tread.He moved closer, his eyes as dark as his twisted heart. He crouched before me, his knife still in hand, his presence suffocating.I pressed back against the ch

  • My Dad's Bestfriend    Kidnapped

    EvelynHe had left after we had sex. Lots of sex. As always, I loved every part of it. Every moment. Every nip, every kiss, every thrust, every rub against skin to skin. And the way it left me smelling nothing but like him. The pure scent of Jacob Adriano, the smell of his presence, the scent of his breath and the beautiful smell of that shampoo he uses.Argh! I loved that man.I'd probably love him more tomorrow. A little more the next day. And then again more the following day.It'd go like this. Forever. But now, no matter how much I loved my man and how strictly he'd told me not to step out of the apartment alone, I couldn't help but feel the itch of the open breezes against my skin. I wanted to go out and pretend that I was safe and not scared even if I wasn't. But I also knew I'd be risking my baby's health and mine if I happened to be caught anywhere near that Tyler named monster whom I could feel everywhere these days. Worse, sometimes even in my dreams.So, I knew that I'd
