SEDUCING MY BEST FRIEND’S DAD のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

Belle“Are there any more men I should know about?”“No. There’s only you in my life.”I wrapped my arms around him from behind, pressing my cheek against his back. “Don’t leave me, James. I only want to be with you.”“You should have thought about that before using me as a revenge plan against my own daughter.”He drew my hands away, pulling them off his body. He didn’t even spare me a glance. “Sleep in your room tonight,” he commanded.I didn’t say anything else. My throat closed up. I just watched him walk away. And a guilty feeling settled in my stomach. I’d been selfish with my revenge plan. So focused on making Tania feel the same way I felt that I didn’t stop to think about how it would make James feel. Yes, he was intimidatingly proud, selfishly domineering, and thought money could solve anything. And it provoked me that he thought of women as objects, judging us all for the betrayal of one woman. So I justified my actions. Made excuses. But all this time, he didn’t deserve

JamesI rushed to her like a madman. I caught her before she fell.I held her in my arms. “Belle, stay with me.”Her eyes closed.I grabbed my phone. “Hulk, get the car to the front now. Belle’s passed out.”“Yes, Boss,” he responded through the phone.I wasted no time rushing her out of the restaurant as people watched.“Sir, can I do something?” I heard Lydia’s voice, but I didn’t care.I got her into the car, and we headed straight to the hospital.I stood helpless as they rolled her away from me. “I promise, we’ll take care of her, Mr. Wilder.” The doctor assured me as I let go of her.It felt like forever before he came back to me.“She’ll be fine, Mr. Wilder. You can see her now.”I followed him to a room. Belle lay there.I sat next to her, holding her hand in mine, kissing it.“What happened, doctor?” My eyes didn’t leave her fragile frame, my sleeping beauty.“James.” She made a soft sound as her eyes opened.“Belle.” I whispered, moving even closer to her. “I’m right here.”

Belle“You really don’t want this baby, do you?” I murmured. “Belle, you shouldn’t either.” His hands closed around my arms, his grip tender and warm. “You have a blooming career. Having this baby could set you back in so many ways you have no idea.”I pulled in a breath. “But you did it, didn’t you? You had Tania. And you still managed to build something so successful with your life.”“Yes, but it didn’t come without sacrifice.” He kept his voice soft, like he was choosing every word to get through to me. “Building this company meant I saw Tania less and less. My solution to raising my daughter was giving her whatever she wanted because that was all I could do.”He stopped. His eyes held mine and didn’t let go.“And you’re an intense woman, Belle. A better person than I am. I know you would want to pour so much love into a child. Into anyone. Having a baby and a demanding job isn’t easy. What if you become a mother and your career is left behind?” He trailed off, frustrated. “Or wor

Belle“James! What are you doing here?” I asked like I didn’t already know he was going to come after me. Thomas probably stopped believing my lie and called James so he wouldn’t get in trouble.“You left when I asked you to stay.”“Get your bags. We’re going home.”“I am home.”“No, you’re not.”Jenna came out and held my arm. “Hello, Mr. Wilder,” she greeted softly. “Did you really tell her to have an abortion?” She still looked shaken by the revelation.His gaze shifted to me, tense.“Could you give us a moment, Jenna?” His voice stayed calm, unfazed by her question.“Okay.” She nodded and rubbed my arm reassuringly before heading back inside.“When I told you I want you, I meant it. With or without the baby.” He stepped closer. His presence swallowed the distance between us. First came his cologne. Then the heat of his body.I paused. “Do you want us to have this baby, James?”He hesitated. His lips parted slightly before closing again like he was struggling to find the right wor

James Belle dashed into my office holding a bouquet of roses. My head lifted from my desk, filled with a bunch of projects waiting for my approval. She stood there looking hot in a blue body fitted dress and black heels. Her curves hugged the fabric perfectly, the hem stopping an inch above her knees. Her brows were drawn. Her lips pressed tightly together. Her chest rose and fell. My God, she was absolutely gorgeous. “Well, well. Look who broke her own agreement.” I leaned back in my seat with a smirk, clicking the ballpoint pen in my hand. My day was about to get a whole lot better. It was getting too damn hard staying away from her even though I wanted to respect our agreement. I wasn’t surprised she’d come into my office after demanding a break. I’d barely been able to hold myself together without her. So of course she felt the same way. And she couldn’t stay away. “Got tired of your games and started missing me?” I chuckled, my gaze fixed only on her, devouring
