What the hell was Derek doing here?

I blinked several times, staring at him.

"Derek?”

He looked past Reynold, his eyes widening as they landed on me, before a faint blush appeared on his cheeks, like he was embarrassed.

“Why the fuck are you so clumsy, Derek?” Reynold spat, his voice dripping with hate. “How hard is it to serve a damn drink?”

Derek’s face hardened, but he didn’t say anything. He simply bent down and started picking up the broken glass. I immediately shrugged Reynold’s

  • Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin   Chapter 136: Presumed Dead

    GAVINI sat at my desk the next day with the new case file sitting covered in front of me. I hadn’t even opened it yet. Honestly, I didn’t care what it was about. I leaned back in my chair and stared up at the ceiling, thinking about Chatham University and my hockey team. How was I supposed to walk away from them? It was too hard to think about. It sucked more than I wanted to admit.My mind was still on them when my door opened, and Sarah walked in. On any normal day, she would’ve come in all businesslike and confident, but today she looked uncomfortable. This was exactly why I never mixed personal stuff with work.“Gav—Agent Thorne. Good morning,” she said, stumbling over her words. She never did that.“Morning, Kline.” I made a point of using her last name. I needed that line between us to stay clear.She hovered near the door for a second before coming over to my desk. “How was your ni—”“Kline,” I cut her off, my voice flat and completely cold. Fuck. Yesterday never should’ve h

    MELANIE“No, no, no. This can’t be possible.” I shook my head hard, like that could make any of it untrue. It made no sense. Why would my own father do something so cruel to the woman he married? The woman he once claimed to love?“Melanie, please sit down,” my mother said softly, glancing at the other people in the restaurant who were starting to stare.A server hurried over with a broom and dustpan to clean up the broken glass, muttering apologies the whole time. My mother gently tugged on my hand until I finally sank back into the chair.“Mel, are you okay?” Eva came over, her brows pulled together, as she placed her hands on my shoulders.“She’ll be fine,” my mother told her quietly. I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t even think straight. All I kept muttering to myself was why.I finally looked up at my mother. The concern on her face nearly broke me. “Are you alright, baby?”I shook my head. I definitely wasn’t.“Why would he do that?” I asked, my voice cracking. “Why would he do some

    MELANIE“Mom?”The woman looked up. Her eyes widened the second they landed on me. She stood up slowly, staring at my face like she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.“Mom,” I repeated, more confident this time around.“Mom?” The woman sitting across from her repeated, looking between us.“Mel–Melanie?” My mother whispered, disbelief filling her face. She started to reach out, then dropped her hands like she couldn't decide what to do with them.“Your mother?” Eva came to stand beside me, her brows furrowed in confusion, looking between all three of us. I’d completely forgotten she was even there with me.“Wait, I don’t understand,” the other woman cut in, her forehead creased as her eyes darted between us. “She’s really your daughter?”My mother nodded, tears already filling her eyes.Without another word, the woman grabbed her designer bag, stood up so fast her chair scraped loudly against the tile, and hurried out of the restaurant as if the building were on fire.“What, Evel—”

  • Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin   Chapter 133: The Slip

    GAVINI didn’t know what the hell came over me. Maybe it was the alcohol; maybe I just wasn’t thinking straight- confused, but I didn’t pull away.I was just… frozen. Shocked.Sarah took that as a green light. She leaned in harder, wrapped her arms around my neck, and pushed me further into the house. She kicked the door shut behind her with her foot.“Wait—” I started, but the second I opened my mouth she slid her tongue in and pulled my head down to her.And then I kissed her back. I don’t even know why, but I did.She pressed her breasts against my chest, deepening the kiss as she walked me backward until my legs hit the chair, and I dropped into it.The alcohol made everything heavy and slow. Before my hands could find a grip on the arms of the chair, she was in my lap, straddling me. Her breathing came fast and ragged against my mouth, deepening the kiss until my head swam.She broke the kiss for a second, chest rising and falling fast, and pulled her blouse over her head. Her bl

    GAVINSarah helped me out of the bar, letting me lean on her as we stepped into the bright afternoon sun. I had to shield my eyes with my hand to prevent the sun from entering.That Long Island Iced Tea was no joke. Now I got why the bartender had been so hesitant to keep serving me. I already knew coming to this bar was a huge mistake. I knew it the moment I pulled into the parking lot, but I was desperate for anything that would numb my pain and just shut my brain from thinking.Fuck. I hated not being in control as Sarah helped me into the passenger's side of my car, taking my keys from me.She got in the driver’s seat, started the engine, and pulled out, heading toward the direction of my house, and for a while we just drove in silence. Eventually she let out a long breath and glanced over. “Agent Thorne, I'm truly sorry about what happened. I know how important that case was to you.”I didn't say anything. I just rested my head against the car seat, staring blindly out the winds

  • Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin   Chapter 131: Off The Clock

    GAVINI stormed out of my office, fists clenched so tight my knuckles hurt. Everything was crashing down, and I had no idea how to stop it. People called out greetings as I walked down the hallway. I didn’t answer. I probably looked ready to kill someone, judging by the way they stared, but I didn’t give a damn.I got into my car and turned on the ignition, driving off with no destination in mind. “Fuck!” I slammed my hand against the steering wheel again and again. Joe Walker. That bastard had played me the whole time.He had fucking deceived me into believing we were working together. Meanwhile, he was planning to take me down.As I drove, my eyes caught the sign of a neon sign shining blue and green. I slowed down and turned into the parking lot, staring at the building. I definitely wasn't one to drink in broad daylight. Well, there was always a first time for everything.I got out of the car and strolled into the bar. There were few people there, which was quite expected consi

    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

    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
