Forbidden desire- In love with my father’s best friend のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Hours later, Amelia and Stella had finished seeing a movie and were watching another, when a knock was heard and both girls froze. “ Are you expecting someone? ” Amelia whispered. Stella shook her head slowly, rising to her feet. “ Maybe it’s the food delivery? ” Amelia frowned, " We’ve been here together. When did you order food that I didn’t know? “ Stella shrugged, " Before you came? “ and she continued walking to the door. The moment she opened it, her face drained of color. Ryan filled the doorway, his broad shoulders blocking the hall light. His presence was so intimidating that Stella instinctively stepped back. His eyes locked on Amelia like a predator on prey. Amelia saw him and her blood ran cold. “ Ryan… ” “ Get up, ” he ordered, his voice low but dangerous. Amelia gripped the pillow tighter, refusing to move. “ What are you doing here? And how did you get here? ” “ How I got this address doesn’t matter. ” He answered curtly. “ You’re coming home with me. ” “ No, ” Amelia w

She hadn’t expected him to outright deny it, let alone laugh about it. The statement pierced her heart more than she could’ve imagined. Heat rushed to her cheeks and her chest tightened painfully. Was he implying she wasn’t his type? That she was too young? Too plain? Not good enough? There were so many questions that she wanted to ask, but much more than that, she wanted to smack his head and she did just that. She yanked her hand from his hold and it went down on his head like lightning. " Whoa! What was that?! “ Ryan groaned in exaggerated pain. Without a word, she spun on her heel and started down the hill. At some point, her foot slipped on a loose stone, but Ryan was quick to steady her. She didn’t thank him. Instead, she shot him a glare then pulled away from his grasp and continued downward. Ryan exhaled slowly, staring after her. He couldn’t figure out what had gone wrong. He replayed the conversation in his head. Shopping. Paparazzi. Dating. Him laughing. Saying, “ Me and yo

Amelia felt the heat spread through her body and her chest rose and fell rapidly. He leaned in, his breath warm on her ear and his free hand hovered just above her waist. “ Do you have any idea what you’re doing to me? ” he whispered hoarsely. Amelia’s knees wobbled, " just touch me already, " she whispered and arched her back, offering him her breasts to do as he pleased. Just as he grabbed one hungrily, a small knock came at the door. “ Excuse me, ma’am… ” The sales attendant’s voice rang out. Ryan’s head snapped toward the sound, a low curse escaping his lips. But he didn’t release her yet. He didn’t want to, but sadly, he had to. The poor attendant cleared her throat awkwardly, obviously regretting her timing. Ryan exhaled heavily, and finally released Amelia. His gaze softened when he looked at Amelia. She read his facial expression which was filled with promises of what he was going to do to her later. Her stomach churned with anticipation of what might happen later. Ryan steppe

Daniel stepped closer, setting the files on her desk. “ I work in the finance department. I heard we had a new face around here, and I thought I should come say hi before the sharks get to you, ” he chuckled. Amelia laughed before she could stop herself, the tension in her shoulders easing, “ The sharks? ” “ You’ll see soon enough, ” Daniel said with a grin, “ But don’t worry. Stick with me, and I’ll make sure you survive. ” Amelia smiled, warmth creeping into her chest. Before long, they were chatting as though they had known each other for weeks. He made her laugh for the first time that day. For a moment, Amelia almost forgot her anger. Later that afternoon, Ryan sat in his office, pretending to focus on the work in front of him, but his eyes kept moving toward the glass wall that made him see Amelia’s office clearly. He could see that she was with that guy who looked like he wanted to eat her whole. His jaw tightened, they were far too close and he didn’t like it. Ryan muttered a

He placed a hand over his chest as though in mock defense, “ Hey, I’m only speaking the truth. Should I stop? ” “ No, ” she said softly, surprising herself. “ It’s… nice. ” Daniel’s smile widened, and before she could react, he leaned a little closer, lowering his voice “ I was going to grab some coffee later. Want to join me? There’s a new café that just opened nearby, and I hear they serve the best pastries in town. ” Amelia hesitated, biting her lip. She wanted to say yes but before she could give an answer, a shadow fell over them. It was Ryan again. Really, why was he always meddling in something important? She asked herself. His eyes were on Daniel. “ Mr. Woods, ” Daniel greeted politely, straightening at once “ Good morning. ” Ryan didn’t return the greeting. Instead, his gaze shifted briefly to Amelia, softening only a fraction before turning cold again. He strode toward them. “ Amelia, ” he said in a low voice “ You’re late. ” She blinked, unsure if he was okay “ Late? I’m ac
