“Mrs. Wealth… Lydia, why don’t we go inside and sit down for a proper conversation?”

She was already shaking her head. “I didn’t come here to stay long—”

“Please,” I said to her, hoping for a listening ear. “Just give me a few minutes.”

She studied my face for several seconds, then gave a short nod. “Ten minutes.”

“That’s enough.” I stepped onto the porch, unlocked the door, and held it open for her.

    GAVIN “Mrs. Wealth… Lydia, why don’t we go inside and sit down for a proper conversation?”She was already shaking her head. “I didn’t come here to stay long—”“Please,” I said to her, hoping for a listening ear. “Just give me a few minutes.”She studied my face for several seconds, then gave a short nod. “Ten minutes.”“That’s enough.” I stepped onto the porch, unlocked the door, and held it open for her.She walked in and sat on the edge of the couch, looking far less at ease than she had the last time she was here with Melanie. I set my work bag down, took the chair across from her, and drew a slow breath.Looking at her brought back the exact moment I decided to start searching for her. It had been two years ago, at Dalton’s house. He and Melanie were at it with each other. They were always at each other's throats. Melanie had shouted that she hated him. Then, right before she stormed upstairs in tears, she said she wished her mother was still around, that her mother would have

    MELANIE “Mom, it's not what you think, Rey isn't—”“Is he your age?” she cut in, looking almost hopeful.“What?” I furrowed my brows, wondering why she was asking that. “Yeah, he is.”“Then why don’t you date him instead?”I rolled my eyes and went back to typing Reynold’s message, sending him the new address. “Gosh, Mom. Please stop.” The annoyance was already rising in my chest. “Gavin and I—”“Melanie.”The way she said my name made me look up.“Gavin is not the man for you.”I held her gaze and bit the inside of my cheek so I wouldn’t snap. The silence stretched between us. I could hear the faint traffic from the street below and the soft hum of the refrigerator in the tiny kitchen.“You know what? I’m going to Eva’s.” I brushed past her. She reached for my arm, but I pulled free.I don’t want to fight with you tonight,” I said, already grabbing my bag and looping it over my shoulder. “I’m staying there for the night. Hopefully. By the time I come back tomorrow, you’ll finally ac

    GAVINI sat behind my desk with the case file open in front of me, but the words on the page barely registered. Sarah stood on the other side of the desk, with her arms behind her back, waiting. I closed the file and looked up at her.“You crossed a line yesterday,” I said to her, my voice firm. “Threatening me was a mistake, a huge mistake on your part. I'm letting you remain on this case, not because of your threats, but because I don't want to complicate things.” She looked relieved as she let out a loud breath. “But don't expect things to stay the same between us after that.”Her jaw tightened. “I wasn’t trying to threaten you for fun, Agent Thorne. I was only trying to stop you from throwing away years of work. Your recent choices—especially the ones involving Melanie Wealth—are going to destroy everything you’ve built if someone finds out.”“That’s my problem to handle.”“No. It’s not just yours.” She stepped closer to the desk. “I’ve watched you change. You’re distracted. You’

    MELANIE “Melanie, are you sure you don’t want to think this through?” my mother asked again as I looked around the small one-bedroom apartment she had been living in since her release.It was tiny. The living area had two plastic chairs and a small table, and the dining space was barely there.“Uhm…” I breathed in, already mentally picturing how I could transform this place to look habitable. “Mel, stop looking around and listen to me.”I dropped my shoulders and turned to face her. “What is it, Mom? I’ve already made up my mind. I’m not going back to that house.”She shook her head. “You shouldn’t make decisions this fast. You need to think carefully.”“Oh, God.” I rubbed my forehead. “Can we please give it a rest?”“I can't do that, and you know why.” Her voice was gentle but more firm. “I’m the reason you’re here with half the room filled with your bags.” She shook her head, looking past me at the stack of six massive designer suitcases lined up against her tiny wardrobe. It was

    MELANIE We pulled up in front of the house. I parked and got out, but my mother stayed in the passenger seat, staring at the building through the windshield.“Mom?” I leaned down to look at her. “Are you alright?”She turned her head slowly and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. After a moment she nodded and opened the door. I walked around the car and took her hands. They were cold. I was a little worried that this move might be too soon and too much for her. “Are you sure you’re ready for this?”She didn't answer immediately; she just looked away, staring at the house. I could only imagine how strange it felt to stand here again after so many years.“I’m ready,” she said finally.I nodded and kept hold of her hand as we walked up the steps and inside. In the foyer she stopped and looked around. “It’s still the same,” she murmured.She was right. Nothing much had changed all these years. Maybe just a few fresh coats of paint and other minor renovations, but the house remai

  • Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin   Chapter 146: Desperate Measures

    GAVIN My blood was still boiling thirty minutes after Melanie and her mother left. I paced the living room, trying to keep the rage from exploding. I had managed to hold it in while they were here, but now that the house was empty, the anger had nowhere to go.What the hell was wrong with Sarah? What exactly had she been thinking?“Fuck!” I screamed into the empty room.My ringtone filled the air again, and my fingers went to the decline icon, without even looking at the screen. I already knew who it was. A few minutes later the doorbell rang. I stared at the door for a second, jaw tight, then crossed the room and pulled it open.Sarah stood on the other side. Of course it was her. She had some nerve showing up here.“What are you doing here?” I asked, trying to keep my anger in check.She didn’t answer right away. The look on her face said she already knew how bad this was.“I said, what are you doing here?” I repeated, louder this time. Sarah flinched, but she didn't step back. T

    MELANIEThe kiss wasn’t gentle or sweet. It was desperate. I grabbed the front of his shirt with both hands and pressed my lips hard against his, pouring everything I had been hiding for years into it.Gavin froze. His hands came up to my shoulders like he wanted to push me away.“Melanie, shit… st

    MELANIEMy hands shook so badly I could barely hold my bag as I tore it open and gripped my phone, blood staining everything I touched. I dialed my father first, tears running down my face, blurring my vision. It rang twice before he picked up.“Dad,” I sobbed the second he answered. “Some… some

    MELANIEThe front door closed behind me with a soft thud that made me jump.God, why was it so quiet? My boot heels clicked too loudly on the marble floor as I stepped deeper into the living room. The warning bells in my head were loud now, the same sick little thrill I always got right before doi
