My Father's Bestfriend CHAPTER 12
SASKIA POVThe elevator ride back to the top floor felt twice as long as the ride down. The air inside the metallic box was thick and suffocating, completely dominated by Evander’s silent, freezing rage. He kept his eyes fixed on the digital floor indicator, his jaw clenched so tightly that a tiny muscle kept jumping near his ear."You did that on purpose," Evander said, his voice a low, dangerous rumble that cut through the hum of the elevator.I didn't turn my head. I kept staring at the silver doors, my hands clasped tightly in front of my blazer. "Did what on purpose?""Defied me. In front of the staff. In front of him.""His name is Julian, Evander. And I didn't do it to defy you," I said, finally turning to face him. "He has the financial records we need to bury Victoria. Am I supposed to tell him to go away just because you don't like the way he stands near me?"The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime. Evander didn't answer. He marched out into the executive corridor, hi
My Father's Bestfriend CHAPTER 11
SAKIA POVThe elevator ride down to the main lobby was dead silent. Evander stood beside me, his hands clasped loosely in front of him, staring straight at the shiny metallic doors. His posture was stiff, completely detached. Looking at him now, nobody would ever guess that his mouth had been burning against my skin just minutes ago.When the doors slid open, the quiet atmosphere of the upper floors vanished.The ground floor lobby was crowded. Victoria stood right in the center of the polished marble floor, looking entirely in her element. She was flanked by two men holding large professional cameras and a woman holding a digital voice recorder with the *Financial Chronicle* logo printed on the side. A few security guards stood a few feet back, looking nervous and unsure of whether they should intervene."Ah, there they are," Victoria announced, her voice carrying beautifully across the wide room. She didn't wait for us to approach. She marched right up to us, her heels clicking aggr
My Father's Bestfriend CHAPTER 10
SASKIA POVThe metallic click of the lock sliding into place sounded like a gunshot in the quiet room.I stood by the small glass table, my breath hitching as Evander turned around. The cold, calculated CEO who had just dismissed a junior lawyer was gone. In his place was a man whose dark eyes burned with a dangerous, volatile heat. He crossed the room in three long, predatory strides, stopping so close to me that I could feel the tension radiating off his chest."You smiled at him," Evander said, his voice a low, rough growl that vibrated through the small space between us.I forced myself to stand my ground, tilting my head up to meet his fierce gaze. "He's trying to help me, Evander. He actually found proof that Victoria is stealing from my father's accounts.""I don't care what he found," Evander snapped, his jaw clenching tightly. He reached out, his large hands gripping the edge of the glass table on either side of my hips, effectively trapping me against it. "I told you that my

SASKIA POVThe door to Evander’s private office closed with a solid, heavy thud, shutting out the murmurs of the executive hallway. His office was twice the size of the boardroom, dominated by a massive wall of glass that looked out over the skyline. It smelled like cedarwood and cold air.Evander walked straight to his desk, tossed his leather folder onto the surface, and unbuttoned his suit jacket. He didn't sit down. He turned around and leaned against the edge of the desk, crossing his arms."You need to control your temper in front of the board, Saskia," he said, his voice flat and authoritative.I walked over to the leather chair opposite him but didn't sit. I kept my hands clamped tightly onto the backrest. "My temper? Evander, they were trying to take away my voting rights. Victoria was practically handing them the knife to cut me out. Was I supposed to just sit there and smile?""No," Evander said, his dark eyes locking onto mine. "You were supposed to let me handle it. That

SASKIA POVI checked my watch, keeping my eyes fixed on Evander as he walked toward us. "It's exactly 9:15, Mr. Sinclair. The meeting starts at 9:30. Technically, I'm fifteen minutes early."Evander stopped right in front of us. His dark eyes didn't look at my new tailored suit or my hair. Instead, his gaze dropped to the small space between Julian and me, then slowly drifted to where Julian’s hand was still hovering near my elbow from our conversation. The air around us became incredibly heavy."In this building, being early is being on time. Being on time is being late," Evander said, his voice flat and dangerously quiet. He turned his eyes to Julian, narrowing them slightly. "And you are?"Julian cleared his throat, adjusting his glasses. He didn't back down, but I could see his chest rise with a nervous breath. "Julian Vance, sir. Junior legal counsel for the Beaumont estate. I was just briefing Miss Beaumont on the agenda before she heads inside.""Mr. Vance," Evander repeated, t
My Father's Bestfriend CHAPTER 7
SASKIA POVThe smell of freshly brewed coffee and fried bacon filled the bright, sunlit dining room. It was a sharp contrast to the heavy, suffocating darkness of Evander’s bedroom from just a few hours ago.I sat at my usual end of the long mahogany table, nursing a cup of black coffee. My wrists still felt faintly warm where his fingers had pinned them against the door. I adjusted the collar of my white silk blouse, making sure the small, faint bruise he left on my shoulder was completely hidden.Footsteps echoed from the hallway, firm and measured.Evander walked in, fully dressed in a flawless, three-piece navy suit. His hair was perfectly styled, his jaw clean-shaved. He looked every bit the powerful, untouchable billionaire tycoon. The raw, growling man who had crushed his mouth against mine in the dark was gone.He didn't look at me. He simply pulled out his chair at the far end of the table, sat down, and opened the morning paper."Good morning, Mr. Sinclair," I said, my voice
My Father's Bestfriend CHAPTER 4
SASKIA POVThe dining room table was absurdly long. I sat at one end, staring at a plate of seared salmon and asparagus that I was too stressed to eat. Evander sat at the exact opposite end, a glass of dark red wine beside his plate, his attention focused entirely on his tablet. The only sound in t
My Father's Bestfriend CHAPTER 2
SASKIA POVThe mahogany conference table in the law firm of Harrison & Associates was long enough to seat twenty people, but today, only three of us occupied it. The silence in the room was heavy, punctured only by the aggressive tapping of my stepmother’s long, manicured nails against the wood."C
My Father's Bestfriend CHAPTER 5
SASKIA POVThe grand father clock in the main hallway struck midnight, each chime echoing through the silent mansion like a heavy heartbeat. I couldn't pace my room anymore. The memory of Evander’s hands on my face from the other night, followed by his instant, icy dismissal the moment Mrs. Gable w
My Father's Bestfriend CHAPTER 3
SASKIA POVThe rain was coming down in sheets by the time the sleek, black town car pulled up to the gates of the Sinclair estate. I stared out the window, my hands gripping my small duffel bag. It was the only thing I had left. When I went back to my apartment after the meeting with Robert, my key
