MAYA’S POV.

Lunch was finally over, and somehow, Daniel and I had barely spoken.

Not after what happened at the restaurant.

Gosh, I shouldn’t have made my anger and jealousy so obvious.

He kept giving me this suspicious look, like he knew something was wrong and was simply waiting for me to tell him.

But I had no intention of doing that.

Not now.

Not ever.

We stepped out of the café, and Daniel walked ahead to open the passenger door for me.

“Thanks.”

I slid inside, and he closed the door befor

  • Off Limits; My Best Friend’s Father.   “Why is my dad calling you?”

    MAYA’S POV.The moment the call with Sebastian ended, I stared at my phone. My heart was literally pounding hard against my chest.Oh God. What have I just done?I swallowed a hard lump down my throat. Trying to steady my breathing. But I couldn’t. I was practically panicking.Maybe I shouldn’t have told him.Maybe I should have kept quiet until I knew exactly what I’d seen.But how could I?I had watched Jessica walk into that hotel with the exact same man standing beside her hospital bed.Didn’t it mean something?How was I supposed to ignore the signs?Still…A small voice in my head kept asking the same question.What if you’re wrong?I pushed the thought away because I wasn’t wrong about what I saw.But maybe I had been wrong about what it meant.But then, not telling Sebastian could result to them falling her tricks again. Which I couldn’t stand.I couldn’t let my best friend and the man I loved get hurt again by the same woman.By the time I arrived, my nerves had gotten worse

  • Off Limits; My Best Friend’s Father.   Fuck!

    SEBASTIAN’S POV…It’s been hours since I sat on this chair.Doing completely nothing.Just staring at thin air.Well, and partly wondering what the hell I was going to do.Not partly, but mostly.Because I was beyond confused and clueless.I considered sending the money for the heart transplant. but each time I picked up my phone, I’ld get the same aching feeling that I was about to make the worst decision.But then, time was running out.I needed to make this decision and get this over with.I was going to send the money. I had to.Ten point eight million dollars.Whatever my suspicions were, I couldn’t risk Luisa losing her mother because I had chosen to wait.If Jessica was truly dying, there might not be another chance.And if I was wrong about her…I would have to live with that.I reached for my phone and switched off Do Not Disturb.Almost immediately, the screen turn on as countless notifications of calls and messages began appearing on the screen.I frowned as the notification

  • Off Limits; My Best Friend’s Father.   If only she knew…

    LUISA’S POV.The first thing I heard was the faint sound of movement.I lifted my head from the edge of the bed, my eyes heavy from exhaustion.For a second, I didn’t understand what was happening.But then I saw my mother.Her fingers moved slightly against the white sheets and i froze for a second.Someone tell me this is real.“Mom?”Her eyelids fluttered and I immediately stood up.“Mom?”This time, her eyes slowly opened.I stared at her, unable to believe my eyes.She was awake!My heart practically stopped.“Oh my God.”I reached for her hand and her eyes moved toward me.For a moment, she just stared.Then her lips parted.“Luisa…”My eyes filled instantly with tears, as I whispered.“You’re awake.”A laugh escaped me through my tears.“You’re actually awake.”I squeezed her hand carefully.“I thought…”My voice broke.“I thought I was going to lose you.”She looked at me silently.And suddenly, every wall I’d spent eighteen years building came crashing down.I lowered my head

  • Off Limits; My Best Friend’s Father.   What do I do?

    DANIEL’S POV.I didn’t let go of Maya’s hand until we were far enough from the lecture hall.Only then did I slow down.I turned toward her. “Are you okay?”Maya looked at me for a moment before nodding.“Yeah.”Her voice was quiet…and then she gave me a small smile.Somehow, that small smile affected me more than it should have.“Thank you.” She said softly and I nodded.“You don’t have to thank me.” I said as we both slowly kept walking down the hallway.Honestly, the moment I’d seen his hand wrapped around hers, something inside me had reacted before my brain could even catch up.I wanted to pull him away from her, and beat the hell out of him.I wanted to make sure he never put his fucking hands on her ever again. That’s if he’s ever able to use them.For a split second, I honestly wanted to forget where we were and exactly who I was supposed to be.I was here for a case, sure. but I didn’t care risking my job for Maya.I looked back at her.She was completely unaware of the stor

  • Off Limits; My Best Friend’s Father.   “Who the fuck are you?”

    MAYA’S POV.The next morning, I walked into class and immediately noticed the empty seat beside mine.I sighed and dropped my bag beside my chair.Luisa wasn’t coming today...She had texted me early this morning, apologizing for not coming in. She was so exhausted after everything that had happened at the hospital and said she needed to sleep properly at home, before going to see her mother later in the day.Well, I couldn’t blame her.If anything, I was glad she was resting.But sitting here without her felt strange and lonely.I pulled out my notebook, but I couldn’t concentrate on a single word the professor who had just walked in was saying.My mind kept drifting back to last night…the man whom I had seen with Mrs Jessica at the hotel.I mean, how come that same man coincidentally became the doctor who was treating her for her heart failure…of all hospitals she would have been rushed to, it happened to be his?NahhhhhWho even took her to the hospital?Luisa said they were asked

  • Off Limits; My Best Friend’s Father.   The truth.

    MAYA’S POV.I watched as the doctor left the room and I forced myself to breathe properly.Luisa was still watching me.“You okay?”“Yeah.”The answer came too quickly.She narrowed her eyes, watching me with her usual suspicious gaze.I gave her a small smile.“I just wasn’t expecting to see all this.”She nodded.“Neither was I.”I looked toward her mother who was sleeping or probably unconscious.My chest tightened at the sight. Despite my doubt.Because who knows, I might be wrong.“So… what actually happened?” I asked as Luisa’s expression immediately changed.“She called me.”“Your mom?”She nodded.“Earlier today, I was preparing for school when she called me. I hadn’t been answering her because…” She swallowed. “Because you know how angry I was with her, and how I said I’ld never speak to her ever again”I nodded, leaning forward slightly.“When I finally answered. Which I’m grateful I did. She asked me to come see her. She said she wanted to talk to me.”“And you went?” I ask
