All Chapters of Lust For Me, Daddy's Good Girl : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Violet I looked at him. His hazel eyes flashed dangerously. This crazy bastard. My jaw clenched. My fingers curled into fists by my side, my body trembling from rage. "You do not own my body," I said, my voice cold. "I'm not a property that is yours." He paused, as if just now realizing the weight of his words. Matthew sighed and ran a hand through his hair. He let go of my wrist. "It seems like we're both too emotional to have a proper conversation," he said. "I didn't come here to fight with you, Violet. I came here to make up. You know how I don't function properly if something keeps bugging me. I wanted to give you time, but I can't stand being away from you anymore." God. He looked so sincere. And just like that, my heart stuttered. Stupid, pathetic thing. The feelings I locked away, like an overstuffed drawer I had no strength to open, started creeping out again. Emotions are stupid, and cruel. Because no matter how much someone you love hurts you, if they were ever

Violet My heart was pounding.Was it excitement? Nerves? I couldn't tell. But it was louder than everything around me. Everyone’s faces flickered with shock, awe, annoyance, and even mockery. But none of it mattered, because for the first time today, I felt like I could finally breathe.God, today had been hell. From the moment I opened my eyes, it felt like the entire world was lining up to slap me down. One humiliation after the next. One reminder after another that I didn’t belong, that I wasn’t enough, that I was just background noise in other people’s lives.Nora was the first to recover. Her eyes widened, like she couldn't quite believe I said it.“You’re serious about this?” she said with a smile. “You really want to break things up with Matthew?”I scoffed. God, how could someone look that pretty and be so disgusting?I looked her dead in the eye. “Yes. You can finally have him, Nora. I won't stop you.”Her lips twitched. Oh, she was thrilled.“I mean… it’s not like that, Vio

Violet I was just about to tell Penelope to stop talking nonsense when the bell above the restaurant door chimed.I turned my head slightly and sighed the moment I recognized them, they were two of my coworkers from the store. They wore the same uniform as me, a black button-ups tucked into fitted slacks, with the store pin shining on their collars.One of them, Mia, wrinkled her nose when her gaze landed on me. “She’s still eating and chatting when she’s supposed to be working. God, she’s so annoying.”Her friend, Lacey, snorted. “Give her a break. I mean, it’s the only time someone actually talks to her.”I looked at them indifferently. I’d known for a while now that my co-workers didn’t like me. They didn’t even try to hide it. Maybe it was because our manager praised me too much, or because I actually followed the rules while they did whatever they wanted. I didn’t care enough to figure it out. It wasn’t worth the energy.I focused on Penelope again, ready to ignore them like alw

Violet I knew she was evil.I knew she hated me. I knew she wanted me gone, wanted me erased so her perfect family could bask in luxury without the weight of my existence dragging them down. But even knowing that, even carrying that truth in my chest, nothing could have prepared me for her smirking like she’d just won a game she’d been playing behind my back all along.Could a human really act like this?Could a woman? Someone who should have understood what it meant to be scared, to be vulnerable, to be preyed upon by men?My body shook, my stomach churning as the weight of everything crashed down over me. I wanted to believe I had misunderstood, that my mind had twisted it into something darker than it was. That maybe I was dreaming, that I’d blink and wake up in a world where she wasn’t this cruel.But that vile smirk on her face told me I was wide awake.I stumbled back, nearly tripping over the rug. Tiger whined softly and nudged my hand with his head, his warm eyes watching me,

Violet Another piece of clothing landed in my hands. I caught it automatically, adding it to the growing pile in my arms. At this point, I wasn’t an employee anymore, I was a walking coat rack.They moved through the store at an unhurried pace, talking to each other as if I didn’t exist. The woman snatched up anything that caught her eye only to toss it at me. I trailed behind in silence, my arms aching, the growing pile wobbling with each new addition.I took a deep breath, forcing the simmer in my chest to cool. The last thing I needed was to lose my temper. This was my highest-paying job, I couldn’t afford to walk out. Not with Sebastian’s trip in two days and barely half the money saved. At this point, I had no idea how I was going to manage it. Maybe I was foolishly hoping for a miracle, for half a million to drop into my lap. Or for some wealthy soul to be generous enough to simply hand it to me.Still, if they kept this up, I wasn’t sure how much more calm I had left in me.Th
