Off Limits; My Best Friend’s Father. Welppppp
LUISA’S POV.By the time I got home, all I wanted was a warm shower, something to eat, and a few uninterrupted hours in which nobody expected anything from me.Work had been exhausting.My manager had changed the schedule twice, one of the photographers had arrived late, and I’d spent most of the afternoon pretending I wasn’t irritated by people who seemed determined to make their problems everybody else’s.I was ready to forget the entire day.I pulled into the driveway, cut the engine, and reached for my bag.I was about to step out of the car when I noticed the flowers.A bouquet sat on the porch beside the front door.I froze.For a moment, I simply stared at it through the windshield.White lilies nestled between deep red roses, surrounded by delicate greenery and wrapped in elegant cream paper. The arrangement was large enough to be noticeable without looking ridiculous, the flowers looked so fresh, like they were carefully chosen.My first thought was that someone had made a mi
Off Limits; My Best Friend’s Father. Doomed.
ELIO’S POV.Paris was everything I had imagined it would be.Beautiful architecture. Charming little cafés tucked between old buildings. Streets that seemed to carry stories in every corner. The Eiffel Tower.I should have been enjoying myself.I should have been taking pictures, trying unfamiliar food, visiting the places I had spent years seeing in magazines and on television.Instead, I was standing outside a café near the Seine, watching a woman with long, dark hair cross the street.My heart jumped and for one ridiculous second, I forgot how to breathe.“Maya?”The name escaped my lips before I could stop it.Just as I was about to approach her, the woman turned and my heart immediately sank.It wasn’t Maya.Of course she wasn’t.I stood there for another moment, feeling like an absolute idiot, before dragging a hand down my face.“Get a grip, Elio.”She didn’t even looked like Maya from the front. But the hair, the way she carried her bag over one shoulder, the familiar shape of
Off Limits; My Best Friend’s Father. Was that too much to ask?
LUISA’S POV.“I’m sorry.”I froze.That voice.For a moment, I couldn’t quite place why hearing it made something twist uncomfortably in my chest.Then he spoke again.“I know I don’t have the right to call you. I know I probably shouldn’t even be doing this, but…”My fingers tightened around my phone.No.It couldn’t be.“Zaidyn?” I whispered softly, almost breathlessly.He didn’t say anything after I had spoken. And somehow, that silence told me everything I needed to know.My lips parted.Oh, my God.It was him.Zaidyn.The same Zaidyn who had lied to me along side Daniel; that’s if those are their real names.The same Zaidyn who had pretended to be someone he wasn’t while investigating my father.The same Zaidyn I’d barely allowed myself to know because something about him had always made me suspicious.I had sensed it.Perhaps not the whole truth, but enough to keep my distance.Zaidyn was the too charming type of guy….too confident…too ridiculously good-looking for his own good.

MAYA’S POV.My boss stood and picked up the folder.“Perfect. Then I’ll leave the two of you to discuss the trip. Maya already knows the basics, and Mr. Cassian can give you the details of what he expects during the collection presentation.”My eyes widened.“Wait…Sir, y…you’re leaving?”My boss nodded, completely unfazed by the panic that had just started building inside me.“It’s your project now.”And just like that, he walked out as the door clicked shut behind him.I stared at it.For a few seconds, I genuinely considered getting up and following him.No.Absolutely not.That would be even more embarrassingI slowly turned back towards Cassian. His expression hadn’t changed…if anything, he looked calmer now. His smile tugged slightly higher. “You ran away from me yesterday….at the café,”I blinked, as I felt heat climbing my neck fast. “I….”Oh God, what do I fucking say?!I can’t believe he saw me…this is so fucking embarrassing.I looked away. Because if I looked at him, I’d

MAYA’S POV.My day started like every other day.Too early. Too much coffee. And not nearly enough sleep.By nine in the morning, I was already buried beneath mood boards, fabric samples, sketches, and a pile of emails that seemed to multiply every time I answered one.I wasn’t complaining.Okay….Okayyyy.Maybe I was complaining a little.But I loved this. There was something addictive about watching an idea slowly become real: a sketch became fabric, fabric became a garment, and a garment became part of an entire collection.And somewhere in the middle of the chaos, I had began to realize that this was exactly where I wanted to be. Fashion wasn’t just beautiful.It was demanding.It required patience, creativity, precision…and the ability to survive a room full of people arguing about whether a shade of ivory was actually ivory. Apparently, that was a serious matter.I was standing beside one of the fitting racks, pinning a piece of fabric against a model’s dress, when Adriana wal
Off Limits; My Best Friend’s Father. Private number.
LUISA’S POV.“Dad, you’re going to be late.” I said.Dad glanced at his watch before returning his attention to the breakfast spread in front of him.“I still have twenty minutes.”“Which, in your language, means you have approximately four minutes before you start blaming traffic for your lateness.”He looked at me and I smiled innocently. “Am I wrong?”He shook his head, a faint smile tugging at his mouth. “Unfortunately, you aren’t.”I laughed and reached for my glass of orange juice.Moments like this had become more precious to me than I cared to admit.There had been a time when sitting across from my father at the breakfast table felt like the most normal thing in the world. He’d ask about my classes. Complain that I ate too little. Remind me I couldn’t survive on coffee and stubbornness.I’d roll my eyes.He’d pretend to be offended.And we’d move on with our day.Not until everything had fallen apart.I’d discovered things about the people I loved that I hadn’t been prepared
