Todos los capítulos de On My Knees for my Best Friend's Daddy : Capítulo 31 - Capítulo 40

IVY Victoria drives a white Porsche. Of course she does. Sierra and I are seated at the back. She’s quiet for most of the time, which I understand. But it leaves me in a weird position where I have to sit in awkward silence as she steals glances at me through the rearview mirror. The shopping district in Pristine is everything I expected from a city full of old money. Designer boutiques line the streets. Women in heels and oversized sunglasses float past with shopping bags dangling from their wrists. Everything is pristine. Pun intended. “Let’s start with Valentino,” Victoria announces as she parks the car. “I need a new dress for dinner with Daddy tomorrow.” Daddy. She calls her father Daddy. I call Knox daddy too, but in a very different context. The thought almost makes me laugh. We step into the boutique and Victoria transforms into someone else entirely. She’s charming with the sales associates, gracious and warm, a contrast from the total bitch she wa

IVY Sierra’s vow of silence is once again broken after she storms into my room and jumps into my bed. I’m standing in front of the mirror checking out some of the dresses Victoria picked out for me, when Sierra bursts into tears. She hasn’t stopped crying since then.30 solid minutes ago. I’m sitting beside her on the bed, rubbing her back while she hiccups into a pillow.“That silly man said she doesn’t want to see me,” Sierra whispers. “My own mother doesn’t want to see me until the holidays are over.”“Maybe she just wants you to enjoy yourself here. She probably doesn’t want you to spend the holidays in a hospital room.” I try to soothe her. Sierra lifts her head, her eyes red and puffy, she sniffs. “Maybe she knows she’s dying and she doesn’t want me to watch.”“Now, Sierra…”“I have this feeling, Ivy. This horrible feeling I can’t shake. Something keeps telling me she won’t make it to the end of January. And when I’m back home by February, she’ll be gone.”My chest tight

IVY Theodore scoffs. I can’t even believe I’m looking at him right now. After everything I endured to make sure I never see him again, he just turns around and shows up here?! His eyes dart between Knox and me one last time. "I'll see you around, Ivy Lane." He makes sure he says it at a considerable distance between himself and Knox’s hands. Then, turns and walks away, disappearing into the night. I watch him go, but I can't feel relieved. I can't feel anything except the violent trembling that has taken over my entire body. My knees buckle, unable to keep me standing for one moment longer. "It's too much," I shake my head. “It’s all too much.” The tears come fast and hot, streaming down my cheeks before I can stop them. My chest is heaving. I can't breathe. I can't think. Everything is closing in on me at once. Sierra reaches for me, but Knox steps forward. He places a hand on his daughter’s shoulder. "Sierra, I need you to go inside and get my

IVY I know, alright? I know I'm making a terrible mistake.This is reckless, especially with Sierra down the hall, and it’s also really stupid. And yes, I promised myself over and over again that I was never going to end up in his bedroom again. But there’s no one else in the world who can soothe the ache that’s dug a really large hole in my chest. So, here I am. At the door of the one man in the world I’m supposed to avoid at all cost. Knox steps aside and lets me in. I move past him quickly, my heart pounding so hard I can feel it in my throat.The door clicks shut behind me.He turns around.I see it in his eyes; the worry and hesitation. He wants to ask me what I’m doing here, tell me it’s a bad idea, or talk me out of whatever he believes I have planned. I must not give him the opportunity to speak any form of reason into me. I launch myself at him, wrapping my arms around his neck and crashing my lips against his. My kiss is desperate, messy, filled with every ounce of

KNOX"Morty? Are you awake?"Victoria's voice cuts through the door, and my blood turns to ice.I look at Ivy. Her eyes are wide with panic, her naked body still pressed against mine, her scent still all over my skin."Hide.”She doesn't hesitate. She slips out of the bed silently, takes her clothes and disappears somewhere in the darkness of my room. I don't see where she goes. I don't have time to check.I grab my boxers from the floor and pull them on as I make my way to the door. I run a hand through my hair. I crack the door open just enough to see Victoria standing in the hallway. "Victoria. I thought you were staying at your father's lakehouse.""I changed my mind." She pushes the door open wider and steps inside before I can stop her. "I missed you."This woman. It was all a trap, wasn’t it? She never intended to spend the night at her father’s lakehouse. I stay still at the foot of the door, making no move toward her. "I told you I have a meeting in the morning. I was tryi
