“You… you look great.” He stuttered, and I let out a wide, knowing grin. He didn’t look bad in his half-buttoned vintage shirt and khaki shorts.

He looked casual. Very casual, and he looked very good in it. What doesn’t the man look good in?

“Thank you. What were you doing?” I asked as he slowly sat down on the couch, pointing to the one next to him, but I stood reluctantly, staring at him. “I mean, I do not mean to pry, but I was just wondering what you do when you are alone in this large mans

  • My Father's Best Friend, My Obsession   In Rome

    ~Richard~I stepped out of the car with a kind of urgency I hadn’t felt in years, the Roman air hitting my face as I glanced up at the modest exterior of the restaurant,. It was far from anything Elena had ever known before, far from the life she had left behind. The bell above the door chimed softly as I pushed it open, my eyes scanning the space almost immediately, searching, hoping, expecting to see her somewhere between the dim lights and neatly arranged tables. But she wasn’t there, and the absence hit harder than I was prepared for, settling uncomfortably in my chest.A few heads turned in my direction, some curious, some indifferent, but one pair of eyes lingered longer than the others, narrowing slightly in recognition. I knew instantly that he knew who I was, or at the very least, had seen my face before.I approached the counter slowly, my gaze still sweeping the room as if she might suddenly appear, as if I had just been too early or too late by a matter of seconds. “Exc

  • My Father's Best Friend, My Obsession   Please

    ~Victor~I stood just beyond the edge of the light for a moment, watching her struggle against the ropes, her breath uneven, her eyes wide with fear as she tried to make sense of where she was. I couldn’t help the slow smile that stretched across my face, because there was something deeply satisfying about seeing someone like Elena Hale reduced to this.The same girl who had caused chaos in Richard Crawford’s perfectly curated life, the same girl who had unknowingly handed me the perfect weapon to destroy him, now sitting right in front of me, helpless, bound, and completely at my mercy.‘Oh, this is going to be fun,’ I thought, stepping forward into the light, letting her see me clearly, letting the fear deepen exactly the way I wanted it to.“Victor Langford?” she said with disbelief in her voice had been almost amusing, as if she couldn’t quite connect the dots yet.I pulled a chair out slowly and sat across from her, crossing one leg over the other as if this were nothing more th

  • My Father's Best Friend, My Obsession   Why me?

    ~Elena~I stepped out of the restaurant alone that night, pulling my coat tighter around my body as the cool air wrapped around me, the faint hum of the city settling into its usual rhythm. For a moment I paused just outside the door, glancing back briefly because it felt strange not seeing Diego beside me like he had been the past few nights.He had been caught up inside, still wiping down tables and rearranging chairs with Pa Romano, insisting I go ahead without him because it would take longer than usual, and I hadn’t argued, even though something about walking alone tonight didn’t sit right in my chest.Still, I pushed the feeling aside, slipping my headphones over my ears as I began walking down the street, letting a slow love song fill my mind, the melody soft and aching as it wrapped itself around my thoughts almost too easily.The music carried me, pulling me somewhere far away from Rome, far away from the quiet life I had built here, and before I even realized it, my mind dri

  • My Father's Best Friend, My Obsession   I am coming

    I was seated at my desk, the late afternoon light sliding across the polished wood, my glasses perched low on my nose as I sifted through contracts and ledgers, the familiar scratch of my pen against paper grounding me in routine.The office was quiet, the only sounds the low hum of the air conditioning and the faint tapping of keys from the secretary’s office down the hall, when the knock came, sharp but deliberate, pulling me from my focus.“Come in,” I called, straightening in my chair, and my private investigator stepped inside, a man I trusted implicitly, his brow slightly furrowed, the briefcase swinging at his side.“Mr. Crawford,” he said, his voice calm but edged with anticipation, “I have a lead on Elena.”I froze mid-pen stroke, the paper blurring beneath my eyes as my heart picked up pace, the very name carrying a weight I hadn’t admitted aloud in months. “A lead?” I repeated, my voice steadier than I felt.“Yes,” he replied, setting the briefcase down and pulling out a fo

  • My Father's Best Friend, My Obsession   Who is that?

    I had just cleared the last tray of the evening. The restaurant was beginning to quiet down, the usual clatter fading into the soft hum of the cleaning staff and the gentle hiss of the coffee machine in the background, when a customer called me over to ask about one of the dessertsI smiled at him, explaining with care how it was made, my words flowing as I gestured toward the plate, but then, without warning, a wave of nausea hit me, sudden and sharp, making my stomach twist in a way that immediately sent a shiver down my spine.I had no choice but to excuse myself, muttering a barely audible, “I…I’ll be right back,” before turning on my heel and rushing toward the restroom. Each step feeling heavier than the last, my hands trembling slightly as I reached the door and closed it behind me, fumbling with the lock as the room tilted dangerously, forcing me to lean against the sink for support. Within moments, my body betrayed me, the contents of my stomach spilling over the porcelain

  • My Father's Best Friend, My Obsession   Hope

    ~Elena~By the time I pushed the glass door open and stepped into the restaurant, I was already a few minutes late, and even though Matteo had told me it wasn’t a problem, that I should take my time and not rush across the city just to meet him. I still felt that small, familiar guilt settle in my chest as my eyes scanned the room, searching for him among the scattered tables and quiet conversations.The place was different from Pa Romano’s, larger, more polished, the kind of restaurant where people spoke in softer tones and sat a little straighter in their chairs, and for a moment I hesitated near the entrance, adjusting the strap of my bag on my shoulder. I spotted him seated near the window, one hand resting on the table while the other held a glass of wine, his posture relaxed like he had been there for a while already.He noticed me almost immediately.His gaze lifted, and a small smile curved at the corner of his lips as he set the glass down and leaned back slightly in his c

    ~Elena~It was evening, and Julian came to the house to pick me up. He came with his father too. While I prepared, my father did the same, so we were all set to go at the same time. We were all dressed casually, in plain tees and jeans.We got outside, and my father stepped out. “So, who is riding

    ~Elena~“Hey, Dad!” I called as I descended the stairs, dressed in a casual fit. My father sat in the living room, his personal computer on his lap.“Hey… off to the library?” he asked, and I shook my head.“I made a new friend, and we are going to have a cup of coffee downtown,” I answered, and he

    ~Richard~I left the company during lunch hours. I drove straight to the park, where Elena told me she would be. I knew meeting up in broad daylight was a bad idea, but I knew nothing out of the ordinary was going to happen. We were just going to catch up.I got to the park and texted her. “I am h

    ~Martin~I was still buried in work, trying to check through our sales since I am now my own manager. I sat in my study, my eyes screaming for help, when I heard the front door open.“That should be Elena,” I muttered to myself as I reached for my glass of water. I took a large gulp and was about t
