Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 153: The Ticking Bomb
MELANIE Silvio walked into the house like he owned the place, which he indirectly did. Eva’s name might have been on the papers, but this house existed because of him.“Why all the screaming this early?” He asked, looking between Derek and me, with his gaze settling on Derek. A casual smile touched his lips as he extended a hand. “You must be Derek. Eva’s brother.” Derek was obviously angry. His chest was still rising and falling hard under his jersey. He stared at the offered hand but didn’t take it. Instead, he squared his shoulders, trying to look bigger than he was, like he wanted to intimidate Silvio, which almost made me laugh. Emphasis on almost, because it was definitely not a laughing matter. “Who the hell are you?” Derek asked, even though the answer was already clear.Silvio didn’t seem bothered by the hostility. He stepped over to Eva, slid an arm around her waist, and pulled her gently against his side. Derek’s nostrils flared at the action, and Eva shifted uncomfortab
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 152: Don't Blame Me
MELANIE We were parked in front of a beautiful, modern apartment in one of the more expensive parts of the city, which surprisingly was about ten minutes or so from my own home. So this was the house Silvio got for Eva. My hands tightened on the steering wheel as I took it all in. Maybe I should have been happy for my best friend, but I couldn't bring myself to be because I knew the kind of life she was stepping into, and nothing about it felt safe.Silvio had called her early that morning to say one of his men would come for her. Not long after, a black Toyota Tacoma had come to pick her up, and two men loaded her things while I followed behind in my own car. Now I watched through the windshield as the same two bulky-looking men carried her boxes to the porch while she practically skipped to the front door.I saw her wave at me to come out of the car as she opened the door and walked inside.I slouched my shoulders in defeat and stepped out of the car as I made my way into the ho
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 151: Who She Has Become
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
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 149: The Mother's Plea
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’
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 148: Another Boyfriend?
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
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 25: Double Lives
GAVINThe talk with Cassandra had gone to hell.I can't tell when we lost the ability to sit down and have adult conversations. There used to be a time when we could be cordial, even loving. Now every conversation felt like walking through a battlefield. And I knew exactly when it all changed.The

MELANIE“You…” My voice cracked, but I forced it to remain steady as I lifted the journal. “You had this the whole time? You’ve been reading my most private, pathetic thoughts about you for years?”Gavin swallowed hard. His jaw clenched tight. Those hazel eyes I used to get lost in were now dark wi
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 6: He Always Knew
MELANIEMy legs went weak, and I almost fell to the ground. I quickly grabbed the edge of the couch to steady myself. Gavin had a fiancée? Like an actual woman, he planned to marry?And last night... last night I had begged him to fuck me. I came so hard on his cock while he filled me up, stupidly
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 5: This Isn’t What It Looks Like
MELANIE“Fuck!” Gavin swore under his breath. I sat up fast, the sheet slipping down to my waist, exposing my bare breasts. My heart pounded against my ribs as he put a finger to his lips, mouthing “Shh,” and answered the call on speaker.“Dalton,” Gavin said, voice still rough from fucking me.“H
