My Unapproachable Crush Secretly Loves Me Too

As soon as I put the key in the lock, the door swung open. I could hear the exhaust fan buzzing loudly in the kitchen, and my mom's face lit up with joy.That expression could only mean one thing. William Quinn was here.William was my biological father.But he had a family of his own. He was married to a wealthy woman. My mom wasn’t his ex-wife. She was his secret lover.William grew up with old-fashioned values, believing that a family wasn’t complete without a son. However, his wife only wanted one child, and after having a daughter, she decided to have a tubal ligation. He felt powerless at home, and shortly after his wife’s decision, he turned to my mom.My mom was madly in love with him. She was willing to stay hidden in the background for his sake, even making me pretend to be a boy to keep him around.When I was younger, I thought she would eventually let me be myself and break things off with him. But as I grew older, I realized that day might never come.So, I decided

I had been to his place before. Last time, the house was bustling with staff, but now, this huge villa felt empty. It was just him and me.I arrived right on time, just as he was setting the last dish on the dining table. The air was filled with the mouthwatering aroma of home-cooked food.He pulled out a chair for me. “Have a seat.”I was a little taken aback by his thoughtfulness.Felix was usually cold and distant, barely tolerating me. He had never been this warm and attentive.Feeling a bit awkward, I scratched the back of my head and glanced at the beautifully prepared dishes. “Felix, I didn’t know you could cook like this. This is amazing.”He looked at me. “There’s a lot you don’t know about me. You’ll find out in time.”“...Okay.” I coughed lightly, feeling a little uneasy.I glanced around and stood up to pour some wine, but he beat me to it, picking up the decanter and filling my glass himself.With his free hand, he gently ruffled my hair. “Relax, no need to be so

A shiver ran through me, and I quickly grabbed his hand, my voice trembling as I begged, “Felix, men can’t… do this with each other.”He finally paused, his usually cold and composed eyes now brimming with desire. His voice was husky. “I’ve already looked into it.”He kissed me again. “Alex, I promise I won’t hurt you. Just be good.”……His words made my face flush with embarrassment.His hands were almost pulling my shirt up to my chest.I was cornered, desperate.For the first time, I revealed my secret to someone other than my mom.I gripped Felix’s hand tightly and looked at him seriously, speaking slowly and clearly. “Felix, I’m actually a woman.”He froze, staring at me blankly, as if he didn’t understand what I was saying.“I’m not lying. I swear!”“You’re a woman?” The desire in his eyes faded slightly, replaced by suspicion as he narrowed his gaze, trying to determine if I was telling the truth.“Yes, really.” I lifted my shirt to reveal my chest, tightly bound wit

Two days later, Felix showed up again, this time holding a document labeled “Family Severance Agreement”.As I flipped through the pages, he knelt down and unlocked the handcuffs around my wrist with a key.He spoke gently, “I paid them a large sum, posing as your friend, to cut all ties with you. They signed.”I was confused. “What are you trying to prove?”“Alex, I want you to see things clearly and understand what you need to do.”I glanced at the staggering amount in the agreement, feeling overwhelmed. “Felix, this is insane. I’ll make sure they return the money to you.”His eyes remained calm, and a faint, cold smile tugged at his lips. “There’s no need, but you’re welcome to try.”......Felix let me go home.As soon as I opened the door, I heard my mom and William talking excitedly in the living room. They were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn’t even notice me walk in.My mom’s laughter was loud and genuine, the kind she only let out when she was truly

I threw all my important documents and belongings into my suitcase. When I came back out, they were still standing there. Seeing me, their attitudes softened, as if they had reached some kind of unspoken agreement.But it didn’t matter anymore.I was ready to leave and walk right past them.But William grabbed my suitcase, and my mom blocked my way.She started her usual routine, tears streaming down her face, begging me to stay and apologizing over and over.I wasn’t buying it this time.In the end, she snapped. She tore open my suitcase, smashed my phone and laptop, and then took a pair of scissors and cut up my bank cards and ID.At that moment, I felt my heart turn completely cold.She was willing to push me this far, all for that man.She locked me in my room afterward.William just stood there the entire time, watching her desperate performance with cold indifference.I felt sorry for her.......My mom kept me locked in the house for over two weeks.A lot happened
