Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 172: A Friend's Advice
MELANIE “Eva, I don't think you should be there tomorrow.” After my conversation with my father, I knew something felt off in a way I couldn't shake. The election was the next day, and it felt like something bad was going to happen. I kept feeling jittery; my palms kept sweating for no damn reason.Eva turned from the kitchen counter carrying a small plate of biscuits. She set it on the coffee table, picked one up, and sat beside me.“What do you mean I shouldn’t be there?” she asked, already biting into one of the biscuits. “Your dad might actually win, and you don’t want me around to celebrate with you guys?”I started shaking my head, but she kept going.“Anyway, Silvio asked me to be his plus-one.” She said it with a little spark of excitement she didn’t even try to hide.“Look.” I turned fully toward her and took one of her hands. “My dad told me something yesterday that made me—”“Melanie.” She squeezed my fingers. “Chill. Seriously. What on earth could happen at a victory par

GAVIN“I cannot believe this.” Director Flint’s voice filled the conference room, the veins in his neck sticking out as he leaned forward over the table. “The election is tomorrow, and you’re telling me we still have nothing solid enough on Dalton to link him with the Rossi family and put them all away?”He had called every agent connected to Operation Black Ice into the room to make his displeasure clear. The timing couldn't be worse. Once Dalton took that senatorial seat, his political immunity would make future federal indictments nearly impossible.Dalton had been extremely careful these past weeks as if he knew somehow that he was being watched closely. Even Cassandra had come up with nothing. The case on Evelyn was at a standstill as nobody had heard or seen her and no evidence even pointed to her being alive except Melanie’s words, a wedding ring, and a locket left on two separate porches.Everything felt stalled.Flint kept on telling everyone how disappointed he was and how
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 170: An Unforgiven Apology
MELANIEMy voice had risen. I forced it back down, holding myself in check so I wouldn’t start shouting where people might overhear.Dalton’s face tightened; he looked older under the outdoor lights.“I’m sorry for all of it,” he said quietly. “But especially for what I did to your mother. I was wrong, completely wrong.”I stared at him, waiting for the excuses I was used to hearing.“I told myself I was protecting you,” he continued. “That the drugs and the instability made her dangerous. That locking her away was the only way to keep you safe and keep my life from falling apart. But the truth is I was selfish. I chose my career and my image over her. Over both of you.”He exhaled hard and looked away for a second before meeting my eyes again.She didn’t deserve what I did to her,” he said, his voice breaking. Eleven years in that place… I can’t undo it. I know that. But I am sorry, Melanie. For taking your mother from you. For making you believe she didn’t want you. For every year y
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 169: Which Lie Are You Sorry For?
MELANIEI stared at him like he had gone psycho. He gripped the handle of the door, preparing to bolt if I got physical, which I was already contemplating.“Are you fucking crazy?” I attacked him. “You lured me here? On purpose?”I snapped my head toward the stream of well-dressed guests heading into the hall, half-expecting to spot my father among them.“Take me back,” I insisted, resting against the seat. “Right now.”“Mel, come on. He just wants to see you and apologize—”“Did you suddenly go deaf too?” I hit the dashboard with my fist. “I said take me home.”“Melanie, you need to calm down, okay?” His hands tightened on the steering wheel. “Didn’t you promise to help me get back in my parents’ good graces?”I suddenly remembered my promise but shook my head aggressively. “We can do that another day. Definitely not now.” I folded my hands stubbornly and stared straight ahead, waiting for him to start the engine.“Well, this is you helping me,” he said softly after a long pause. “Y
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 168: The Uninvited Guest
MELANIE“Melanie, you have a visitor.” My mother’s voice floated in from the living room while I lay stretched across the bed, staring at the ceiling.“Urgh,” I groaned, annoyed at whoever it was. I was freaking busy. Yes, I was busy being depressed, replaying every stupid decision that had landed me where I was. I sat up slowly, rubbed my eyes, and yawned, stretching my hands above my head before getting to my feet and pulling my hair into a messy bun. I looked into the mirror to smooth out the T-shirt that had wrinkled from lying on it for several hours before dragging myself to the living room.The second I saw who was sitting across from my mother, my stomach dropped. I had completely forgotten about my promise to him.“Mel, baby, you didn’t tell me you had such handsome friends.” My mother smiled widely.I rolled my eyes and turned to Reynold. “Rey, why didn’t you remind me?” I grumbled. I had lost track of time because of the numerous disasters life had thrown at me over the p
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 167: Point of No Return
GAVIN “Are you sure this will work?” Cassandra asked. She sat on the edge of the couch in my living room, with one of her legs bouncing nervously on the floor. Her fingers kept twisting the edge of her cardigan.We had driven straight here from the office. The plan was simple: she would plant the camera in my bedroom so Dalton would believe she was still loyal to him. Once he trusted her again, we could use that access against him.Cassandra had already gone into the bedroom alone, the way she would have done it if she were sneaking in under his orders. The tiny camera was now fixed near the light fixture, which had a perfect view of my bedroom.Now the three of us sat in the living room going over every detail one last time.“All you have to do is be your normal self,” I said to her. “Do exactly what he says, don't provoke him or ask extra questions. Make him believe you’re still on his side. Can you handle that?”She hesitated, frowning slightly. “I can try. But he’s not stupid, Ga

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

MELANIEGavin had me pinned against the cold locker room wall, his big, calloused hand shoved up under my pink skirt, thick fingers shifting my panties, spreading my soaked folds.“Fuck, you’re dripping for me, Mel,” he growled in that deep, sexy voice, his light stubble scraping my neck as he thru
