Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 68: The Impossible Truth
GAVINI sat alone in my office at the Federal Intelligence Unit, staring at the picture on my phone like it was a ghost from hell. My hands just wouldn’t stop shaking.Logan.But how? I had watched my little brother die in my arms ten years ago. The memory came rushing back, clear and painful.It was his fifteenth birthday. He had begged me for weeks to take him skiing. I finally said yes. We were supposed to leave straight from home, but I got a sudden call from work. I had just started as a junior agent, desperate to prove my worth to the Bureau. I told Logan to ride along with me, promising we would celebrate right after I finished at the field office.That was the single most catastrophic mistake of my life. We walked straight into an ambush.The gun battle erupted without warning, and Logan was caught in the crossfire. I watched the bullet tear through his chest. I held him as blood poured out, soaking my hands, his eyes wide with fear as he gasped my name, and tears spilled fr
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 67: The Scent of Betrayal
MELANIEMy father’s eyes burned straight into mine. He jabbed his finger so close to my face I could almost feel it, his voice shaking with rage. “What is wrong with you, Melanie? How dare you raise your hand to her? Does she look like someone your own age?!”I scoffed, rolling my eyes. “Tell her to watch her damn mouth then.”Cassandra cradled her reddened cheek, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked up at my father with a dramatic, pitiful expression that could melt the heart of a serial killer. “What did I even say?” Her voice came out small and broken. “Why do you hate me so much, Melanie?”What a fake! I glared at her pathetic performance. The acting was so bad it was almost insulting.“Back off, Melanie. I’m warning you.” My father stepped between us, throwing his arms out like I was some dangerous animal he was protecting her from. “I didn’t slap her unprovoked,” I said defensively, crossing my arms. Of course, he wouldn’t listen. When had he ever taken my side?“She just
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 66: Poisonous Words
MELANIE I stared at my phone until the screen went completely black. For a moment, I was speechless. I just sat there in the driver’s seat, blinking at my own faint reflection in the glass.Did he really just hang up on me?I sat in my car for like ten minutes, staring blindly at the dark windows of my house without really seeing them. Gavin’s sudden evasiveness and the way he had avoided my questions left me uneasy. It worried the hell out of me. It felt like he was hiding something big, and no matter how hard I tried, the pieces refused to fit together.I let out a shaky breath; my body suddenly felt heavy and tired after everything that had happened. Seriously, Gavin needed to pay me for the detective work today. It had drained every last drop of energy from my body. I forced the car door open and stepped out into the afternoon sun. My thoughts immediately drifted to Eva.Silvio was holding all the cards right now, but I had a feeling he wouldn’t hurt her, though I couldn’t be su
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 65: Ghost From The Past
GAVINI stood by my desk, my hands trembling so badly I had to use the other hand to hold the phone before it fell.My mind was in complete turmoil. What the hell was going on? Why did Melanie send me a picture of my dead brother? How did she even get this photo?Logan.The face staring back at me from the screen was unmistakable: the same sharp jawline, the same intense dark eyes, the same slight scar above the left eyebrow from when we were kids, and he fell off his bike. But that was impossible. I had watched my brother die in my arms ten years ago. I had held his cold body.Or at least… I thought I had.My hands moved automatically toward Melanie’s contact, desperate to call her, when Joe’s name flashed across the screen. I swiped to answer, my mind still not fully present.“She is out,” Joe said immediately.I kept staring at the photo, barely hearing him.“Hello, Gavin? Are you there?” he pressed when I didn’t respond.I shook my head hard, trying to snap back to reality. “What
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 64: The Face Behind the Name
GAVINI wore a path into the floor of my office, five steps to the window, five back to the desk, like an animal that was caged and didn't have anywhere else to go. What the hell was I thinking?My phone sat on my table like a live grenade. I snatched it up for the hundredth time, checking for any message, anything at all to calm me down, but the screen remained blank. The silence was torture.The room suddenly felt too hot, my shirt clinging to my back as my chest tightened.Damn it. I slammed my palm against the wood, a dull ache forming in my hand. Why did I send her? What was I really thinking? What if something happened to her in there? The thought of Melanie being anywhere near Silvio Rossi made my stomach twist violently. I had put her in danger for this mission, and the guilt was eating me alive.My phone suddenly vibrated against the desk, startling me. I grabbed it fast. “Yes, Joe. What’s the update?” My voice came out rough and impatient."I trailed Melanie to a private l
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 63: Caught in the Web
MELANIE“Would you be my date to Melanie’s father’s election kickoff party?”His words echoed in my ears like a bad punchline.I stared at Silvio, completely frozen. The question made zero sense. What exactly did he want from Eva? The whole ‘I just like her’ line was complete bullshit. A man like Silvio could snap his fingers and have a room full of stunning women begging for his attention. So why was he zeroing in on my best friend like she was some rare prize?My phone still lay face down on the cold tiles where it had fallen. My heart slammed against my ribs as I bent to pick it up, but Silvio’s shadow moved faster than I could blink. His long fingers snatched the device right from under my nose.My heart was literally in my mouth. Different nightmare scenarios flashed through my mind at lightning speed. What if he turned the screen and the first thing he saw was his own face, the photo I had just secretly taken? How the hell was I supposed to explain that? I would definitely not

GAVINI stood in the middle of my living room, staring at the closed door Melanie had just slammed behind her. The silence that followed was deafening.How could everything fall apart so quickly?One moment, I was kissing her like she was the only thing that mattered in my fucked-up world, and the

MELANIEI sat on the floor of Gavin’s bedroom, knees pulled tight to my chest with silent tears rolling down my face.Broken. Emotionally unstable. Self-destructive.The words kept repeating in my head like a broken record, each one cutting deeper than the last. I pressed my forehead against my kne

MELANIEI woke up the next morning with a dangerous thought circling my head like a vulture.If Gavin found out about Cassandra and my father, he would dump her cheating ass… and I might finally have a real shot with him.A wicked smile curved my lips as the plan took shape in my head. I didn’t nee

MELANIEWhat the hell was Cassandra doing with my father in a place like this?I stood frozen behind a cluster of flowering bushes, my heart pounding against my ribs as I watched them. They were sitting on a secluded bench in the quiet part of the garden, you know, the kind of spot couples went to
