All Chapters of SEDUCING MY BEST FRIEND’S DAD: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Belle“Sex.”His eyes found mine, holding them in a way that made it hard to look away.“That’s the only relationship that will exist between us from now on.”“Belle, I didn’t mean to hurt you.”The look in his eyes told me he meant it. Like he could take it back if it meant I wouldn’t be hurting. But I couldn’t make it that easy for him.“I’m not done.”He stopped. The muscle in his jaw jumped.I needed him to hear this. He had to understand. I wasn’t going to let him keep trying to control me again.“We are not friends. We are not a couple. We are not in a relationship.” I held his gaze. “I will be here whenever and wherever you want for a booty call. Per your stupid contract. That is all this will ever be.” I straightened my shoulders, deliberately crude to get back at him. “I am not moving in with you. You may own my time under that contract, but my life is still mine.”The room went quiet.His displeasure was evident on his face instantly. I’d just said no to his offer, and the d

Belle"M-me… why?"I was a bit nervous."Really, Belle? Of all things you could have said, I was kind of expecting that," Janet chuckled."Of course I say yes!" I burst out.Their faces turned into bright smiles."Welcome to the family, Belle." Debbie held my hand. George patted my back. Janet smiled at me."We don't want to replace our son with you. Please don't be nervous. You've been such a delight at the office, and I told my wife and daughter about you. They wanted to meet you."I smiled, feeling a bit better. The knot in my chest loosened."We're traveling to New York. I'd like to spend some time overseeing affairs at the headquarters."My smile faded.Did he want me to go with him as his assistant?James would hate the idea. He didn't even know I had this job.My fingers twisted together under the table.He was going to ask me to pack a bag, and I wouldn't be able to say no."I want you to..."My pulse quickened."Stay here. The Vice President would handle everything. But I'd l

JamesThe ambulance came fast.I didn’t move from the floor. Belle’s hand was still wrapped in mine, and I wasn’t letting go until someone physically made me.They came through the door with a stretcher and a medical bag. I stood up with Belle still in my arms and laid her on the stretcher, refusing to take my hands off her until they told me to. Even then, I kept one hand on her arm while they worked around her, checking her pulse, blood pressure, and breathing, calling numbers back and forth in a language that made my stomach turn because I understood enough of it to know it wasn’t good.“Sir, we need you to step back.”“I’m staying with her.”“Sir.”“I said, I’m staying with her,” I snapped.They didn’t argue a second time.They loaded her in, and I climbed in right behind her and sat where they told me to sit. My eyes never left her face.Her eyes kept trying to close. Every few seconds, I’d watch her fight to open them again.She was still in there.Still trying.“Stay with me.”

BelleTania was impossible. And yes, if she hadn’t confronted me, the fall wouldn’t have happened. But I couldn’t help but feel disturbed. James had left her homeless. She was living her worst nightmare. And I should have been pleased—this was my revenge plan. But I didn’t want James to choose me over Tania like this. Not this way. He loved her, and even though he was still so mad at her, I could see it.“James, you should look for Tania. She has nowhere to go,” I tried to persuade him. “She could end up sleeping on the streets.”“Tania’s whereabouts are no longer my concern,” he answered coldly. “She always wanted freedom, wanted to go out and party, and constantly saw me as a bad father whenever I tried to set boundaries. If that is the life Tania wanted, then she is free to live it.”I studied his face. “I think you still care.”He looked away for a moment, then back at me. “You were right about Tania all along. I’m sorry for not believing you sooner.” He rubbed the back of his nec

BelleI stepped out into the living room and it seemed like I was living in another house. Everything was so different.“Belle, you’re awake.” He flashed me his charming smile, but it wasn’t going to get him out of this.“Yeah. I am.” I glanced around the room again, still trying to take it in. “What’s going on here?”“A makeover. You just missed the interior designer. She was such a delight.” He gestured around the room, looking far too pleased with himself.“I know. I’m asking why you would transform the house without letting me know.”“I wanted to surprise you.” He walked closer and searched my face for approval.“Surprise me?” My brows drew together. A small laugh left me. “This is my house, James.”“I know. I thought you’d love it.” His smile faltered and confusion crossed his face.My gaze landed on the new dining set that fit perfectly into the small space, but I refused to let him see that I liked it.“James, I don’t appreciate you making decisions without me. Now I’d have to
