NADIA

My head aches—hurting much worse than the nights I stayed up waiting for Felix to come home to me.

By the time I’m done dressing and rearranging my hair, mystery man is already packing my things into my handbag, his movements quick, yet strangely careful. He stretches the bag out to me. My eyes drift from it to his still–heavily masked face.

“I’m—”

He raises a hand to hush me, then wraps his fingers around my wrist and tugs me gently toward him. “You don’t have to say anything. I just nee

  • My Husband's Best Friend Is Obsessed With Me    29

    JORDANI know I’m playing a dangerous game with Nadia—walking the thin, treacherous line between love and lust. I keep reminding myself that I can’t pursue anything deeper. Not with everything I have at stake. Not with the kind of life I live. And certainly not when her life is still cemented to a man who happens to be my best friend.That line should be enough to stop me.It isn’t.So I draw a boundary where I can. I tell myself this is temporary. That I won’t reach for more than what the moment allows. I won’t make promises I can’t keep or ask her to choose between worlds that would cost her too much.But the present? The now? That, I can give her. I can offer today. The quiet. The space to breathe. The kind of attention that doesn’t demand anything in return.And for now—that has to be enough.She turns to me then, really looks at me, like she’s weighing every word I haven’t said yet.“Be careful what you say to me,” she murmurs. “My heart is fragile. I’m… vulnerable right now.”T

    NADIAWhen I walk into the shelter’s dining hall, Laura is already laying out food, chatting animatedly with the matron. The moment she spots me, she hands the tray to the older woman and touches her shoulder gently. “My sister is here,” she says with a warm smile. Then she hurries over and wraps her arms around my neck. “I’m so sorry about the way I went off on you earlier, Nadia.”I cup her face and kiss her forehead. “It’s fine. You were right. And I appreciate you always keeping me in check.”She nods, grabs my hand, and pulls me toward the long table in the center of the room. “Come and see what I did with the dessert!” she says, practically glowing with childlike excitement.Laughing, I follow her—until I reach the table and stop short.It’s beautiful. Cookies shaped like dogs and other animals are arranged neatly on the trays. I pick one up, but instead of eating it, I trace its edges with my finger.“What does it remind you of?” she asks softly, resting her head lightly on my

    NADIAI manage to avoid further confrontation and conversations with Felix, but I can’t help noticing that he has started coming home early and leaving some coffee and bagels or whatever he eats for breakfast for me on the breakfast table. An action I find extremely suspicious.After work on Wednesday, I step into his study and find him skimming through a document with the seriousness of a man decoding a bomb manual. I pause at the door like a cornered cottontail, instantly rethinking my decision to lash out at him and tell him to stop being nice.He lifts his head and just stares at me.Instead of walking further into the room, I lean against the doorjamb and cross my arms.“What are you doing, Felix?”He raises his brows, drops the document. “I have a contract to create a robot that would keep kids company while their parents are out. I’m going through the paperwork to be sure there’s no loophole.”I nod slowly, tilting my head. “Congratulations, but what exactly are you doing?”His

    JORDANFacts have confirmed that Eli was right about the Mafia coming for me. They probably think that taking me out will give them access to Russo—let them do whatever the hell they want with him.The print staring back at me is a perfect match to one of the men I’ve suspected for a while. They were in my car last night, and the only reason they got access at all was because I left it unattended when I stepped out for a walk.Felix has been on my neck—dinner invitations, endless calls, begging me to meet his wife. He thinks my presence might somehow fix his marriage. In his words, she’s been eager to meet me, and seeing me might “loosen her up a bit.”I had to take a long walk to clear my head and think things through. Because I have a sickening feeling that if I meet Nadia officially—as her husband’s best friend—I’ll never get the chance to be with her again.Nadia might deny it all she wants, but a part of her still clings to that marriage. A part of her still belongs to him. And t

    NADIA“How can I help?” Laura asks as we approach the small town’s historic district. The bleak stretch of asphalt and nondescript buildings gradually shifts into tree-lined cobblestone streets and high-end homes dressed with flower boxes beneath their porch railings. The whole place looks like a postcard someone forgot to update.I arch a brow at her, cutting a quick glance her way as I navigate the long driveway. “Dane Moss is one of my oldest and best clients. I don’t think I’ll need any help handling him.”Laura scoffs. “Typical. You’re too good at playing dumb.”“Well, it’s one of the tricks I use whenever I need to shut you up. It rarely works, but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t keep trying.”She twists the ring on her finger anxiously. “Seeing you and Felix…it kind of makes me rethink getting married. It’s…” She exhales heavily. “Scary. I love Asher, but I don’t want to lose what we have over some marital woes.”I wrinkle my nose. “Marital woes?”“Well, for lack of a better word

    JORDANSharon zips her bag, straightens, and looks at Cole before shifting her curious gaze to me. “What’s the plan?”She leans back against my office desk, hips pressed to the edge, arms folded tightly across her chest.“You’ve gotten him clothes and everything he needs. I think you need to let me take it from here,” I pin my gaze on her face. “Without you butting in.”“I can’t help it. He looks so lost, Jordan. He keeps glancing around like he’s expecting something or someone to jump his bones.”“That’s expected. He’s been through a lot.”“You know that… how?” She shoots me an accusing glare. “You bailed on us at Cielo, and you were unreachable the next day until after midnight.”“I was busy.”She narrows her eyes, studying my face. “I know you’re single, so you definitely weren’t out spending time with some woman. And Felix was at Elf’s with his wife. My husband saw them having dinner with some gray-haired man.”Raul.I’d looked him up the second I realized who Nadia was meeting. A

    NADIA“I still can’t believe you were caught having sex in an open space, sis. You’re becoming wild, and I love it.”I bury my face in the magazine I’m pretending to read, wishing the ground would open up and swallow me.“Keep your voice down, Laura. We weren’t caught. He handled it before it escal

    JORDANThe first thing I see when I step into the bar is Felix — shoulders hunched, one hand wrapped around a half-empty glass of scotch like it’s his last bit of control. The amber catches the light, flickers across his face, and for a second, he looks older. Tired in a way that has nothing to do

    NADIAI can’t sleep. I keep tossing, sheets tangled around my legs, body aching for something I haven’t had in too damn long. It’s pathetic how easily my mind drifts back to him—Mystery Man. The only one who ever really knew how to touch me.Felix and I might as well be flatmates at this point. We

    JORDANThe moment I swing the door open, three-year-old Zara barrels into me, her tiny arms flinging around my waist.“Uncle Jordan!”“Hey, bug!” I crouch down and let her bounce against me, her curls tickling my chin. “It’s so good to see you.”“Is it? Because you’ve been avoiding everyone.”I loo
