Tempted By My Best Friend's Billionaire Father 37. Double Date Gone Wrong
ARIAMika didn't just suggest the double date; she campaigned for it. For three days, she turned every conversation back to Leo, treating him like a missing puzzle piece in her vision of a perfect social circle. She'd hum while scrolling through Instagram, pointing out rooftop bistros and hidden lounges in the hills, her eyes sparkling with the thrill of a matchmaker."Just one text, Aria. That's all it takes. I already told Grace, and she's dying to see if this guy is actually as brooding and dangerous as you described."I stared at my phone, the screen reflecting a version of me that felt increasingly fractured."I don't think he's in the mood for a group outing, Mika.""Since when do you care about his mood? You're the one who said he's a take-
Tempted By My Best Friend's Billionaire Father 36. Caught in a Lie
ARIAI stepped through the front door of the house, the familiar scent of coconut sunscreen and expensive candles hitting me like a physical blow. I felt like a stranger in my own skin, a ghost returning to a haunt I no longer recognized.Mika didn't even let me set my bags down. She launched herself from the sofa, a whirlwind of blonde hair and tanned skin, nearly knocking me backward as she wrapped her arms around my neck."You're back! Tell me everything. Right now. Every single, filthy detail."She pulled back, her eyes wide and shimmering with a manic energy. She didn't wait for me to answer; she practically dragged me toward the kitchen island, where two oversized iced teas sat sweating on the marble."First, you need t
Tempted By My Best Friend's Billionaire Father 35. Face to Face with My Ex
ARIAThe air in the restaurant tasted of ozone, expensive lilies, and the kind of desperation that only exists among the ultra-wealthy. Gold leaf clung to the ceiling in intricate, suffocating swirls, and the lighting was dimmed to a predatory amber. I felt the weight of the dress Julian had chosen, a midnight-blue silk that clung to every curve like a second skin, the fabric so thin it felt like a dare.I clung to Julian's arm, my nails digging into the wool of his tuxedo. Around us, the room hummed with a calibrated frequency. Politicians with rehearsed smiles, CEOs with eyes like flint, and celebrities whose skin looked as synthetic as their conversations. I was a ghost in a room of titans, a small-town girl playing a part in a play where I hadn't been given the script.Julian navigated the crowd with a terrifying ease. He didn't just
Tempted By My Best Friend's Billionaire Father 34. Business Move
ARIAThe air in the lobby smelled of white tea and cold ambition. It was a cavern of polished travertine and soaring glass, a space so vast it made the people within it look like ants in a cathedral of capitalism. Julian walked three paces ahead of me, his stride claiming the territory before he even stepped on it. This was his newest venture, a hotel that didn't just promise luxury, but an engineered sense of exclusivity.He stopped abruptly in the center of the atrium, gesturing to the seamless transition where the indoor garden bled into the lobby. "The psychology of the entrance is everything. Most hotels want you to feel welcomed. I want my guests to feel judged. If they don't feel a slight tremor of inadequacy the moment they walk through those doors, the price point is too low."I ran my hand over a waist-high slab of black obsidian. "You don't just want their money. You want their submission."Julian turned, a thin, predatory smile touching his lips. "Submission is the highest
Tempted By My Best Friend's Billionaire Father Chapter 33: A Little Lie
ARIAA dull, throbbing heat settled between my thighs, a lingering echo of the night's wreckage. I shifted against the silk sheets, a small, involuntary moan escaping my lips as the friction sparked a fresh wave of arousal. I glanced at the digital clock on the bedside table. I'd slept for maybe two hours, but I felt more awake than I had in years.The bed was empty, the space beside me still warm. My body felt heavy, bruised in all the right places, and yet I found myself craving the very weight that had crushed me into the marble floor.I slid out of bed, my legs trembling slightly. My eyes landed on one of Julian's white dress shirts draped over a chair. I grabbed it, sliding the crisp fabric over my head. It drowned me, the hem reaching mid-thigh and the scent of his cologne, sandalwood and cold steel, wrapping around me like a shrou
Tempted By My Best Friend's Billionaire Father Chapter 32: Addicted to You
ARIAMy breath came in ragged, uneven shards. I lay on the marble floor for several minutes, my skin sticking to the stone, watching the ceiling blur and refocus. My muscles hummed with a dull, heavy ache that radiated from my core to my fingertips. I tried to pull myself together, to find the center of the girl who had walked into this penthouse an hour ago, but she was gone. There was only this, this wrecked, shivering version of myself, coated in the evidence of Julian's possession.He picked me up like I weighed nothing. I didn’t ask where he took me. I just … can’t let myself go from his command.Julian brought me toward his bathroom, a space of white quartz and polished chrome that felt more like a sanctuary than a washroom. The bathtub was an obscene piece of luxury, a sprawling basin of carved marble that could
