My heart felt like it was going to come out of my chest. The humid afternoon air hit my face like a brick wall, but I didn't stop, completely blocking out the sound of Eva’s voice shouting my name as she chased me down the driveway. I threw myself into the driver’s seat, slammed the door shut, and jammed the keys into the ignition with shaking hands.

Screw her. Screw all of them. I was fine before all of this. I would be fine now.

  • Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin   Chapter 70: Fractured Pieces

    MELANIEMy heart felt like it was going to come out of my chest. The humid afternoon air hit my face like a brick wall, but I didn't stop, completely blocking out the sound of Eva’s voice shouting my name as she chased me down the driveway. I threw myself into the driver’s seat, slammed the door shut, and jammed the keys into the ignition with shaking hands.Screw her. Screw all of them. I was fine before all of this. I would be fine now.I gripped the steering wheel until my knuckles turned pale. The tires screeched as I sped away. The road blurred past until I finally pulled into the gravel parking lot at Riverbend Park.I hadn’t planned to come here. Going home meant facing my father and Cassandra, and that was the last thing I needed. Gavin’s place felt like walking into a landmine. So my hands had brought me here on their own, to the same patch of grass where my heart had been broken once before.I walked slowly down the dusty path and sank onto one of the old swings. The chains

    MELANIEThe moment I noticed Eva standing in the doorway with her jaw set in a hard, furious line, I tried to push myself up from Derek’s lap, but his fingers dug possessively into my waist, pulling me back down onto his thighs.“Where have you been?” Derek snapped toward the door, his voice full of worry and frustration. “Why the hell didn’t you answer any of my calls? I’ve been worried sick about you until Melanie told me you were okay, like I don’t have enough to deal with already.”Eva took one step into the room. Her gaze drifted from Derek’s hands on my hips, up to my flushed face, and back down again."What is going on here?" Her voice was barely a whisper as she looked at her brother.“Nothing,” Derek said, a satisfied smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.This was hands-down the most uncomfortable moment of my entire life. I grabbed Derek’s hands and forcibly removed them from my waist, scrambling off his lap to face Eva properly.“What the hell is this, Melanie?” she dem

    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

    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

    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

    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

    GAVINThe shrill sound of the alarm cut through the room as I opened my eyes, blinking into the darkness.Shit! Why did I set that meeting so early? I hadn't slept a bit. I pressed my palms into my temples, wincing as a jackhammer throbbed behind my eyes, worse than last night. Stretching my hands

    GAVIN“Who was that on the phone?” Joe pried, his ears practically pricking up and his eyes following my phone screen as I shoved my cell into my pocket, shutting my eyes for a few seconds, trying to get my breathing under control and hoping the hard-on Melanie had just given me wasn’t too obvious

    MELANIEThe drive back to Eva’s house was filled with total silence. It had been fifteen minutes of suffocating tension between us, with the only sound in the car coming from the low hum of the engine and the occasional tap of my heel nervously hitting the floor mat. Eva sat in the passenger seat
