Fallen For Best Friend’s Daddy のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 111 - チャプター 117

Rachael’s POVBella finally left almost an hour later.Not because she wanted to.Because I practically forced her out.“You’re acting suspicious,” she complained dramatically while standing near the front door.“I’m tired.”“You’ve been tired for like three weeks.”I forced a weak smile.“Goodnight Bella.”Her expression softened immediately afterward.“Call me later?”Guilt tightened painfully inside my chest.“Yeah.”She hugged me one last time before leaving.And the second the door closed behind her…the silence returned instantly.My eyes slowly dropped toward the package still sitting untouched in my hands.JH.Just looking at the initials made my heartbeat uneven again.Jonathan.I swallowed carefully before finally walking upstairs.The guest room felt colder tonight somehow.Lonelier too.I sat slowly at the edge of the bed afterward and stared at the package for another long second.Then finally…opened it.Inside the box was a bagA labeled bag…Inside rested a velvet jewe

Rachael’s POVLife didn’t stop after the hospital.That was the strange part.The world kept moving normally while mine quietly changed underneath me.Days turned into weeks slowly.Carefully.And somehow…I learned how to survive inside the secret.I kept in touch with the doctor constantly after that.Mostly through texts whenever I couldn’t leave the house.Sometimes calls.Rare visits when opportunities appeared.Carefully planned.Carefully hidden.Every appointment felt like a crime.Every update felt heavier than the last.“Everything looks healthy so far.”“Take your vitamins regularly.”“Eat properly.”“Reduce stress.”Reduce stress.I almost laughed the first time I read that.Because how exactly was I supposed to reduce stress while secretly carrying another man’s child inside my husband’s house?Still…I followed instructions carefully.Took the vitamins.Forced myself to eat even when nausea made everything unbearable.Drank water constantly.Pretended I wasn’t terrified

Aubrey’s POVA week was enough time to learn a lot about a person.Especially when that person believed nobody was paying attention.I had spent the entire week watching Rachael.Not obviously.I wasn’t foolish enough to make her feel hunted.Instead, I watched from a distance.At breakfast.At dinner.When she returned from work.When she thought everyone else was asleep.And the more I watched…The more convinced I became that something was wrong.She was careful.Far too careful.And careful people usually had something to protect.The first thing I changed was her freedom.It was subtle.I didn’t tell her she couldn’t leave the house.I simply made sure there was always a reason for her to stay.A family lunch.A meeting.An event she was expected to attend.Something that needed to be handled at home.And whenever she mentioned going somewhere alone, I found a way to stop it.“You don’t need to go yourself,” I told her one morning when she mentioned visiting the office.Rachael l

Jonathan’s POV“Are you seriously taking that with you?”I looked up from the small box in my hand.Capri stood by the door, staring at me.“Yes.”He frowned.“Why?”I glanced at the box.“I bought it for someone.”“Rachael?”I didn’t answer.Capri laughed under his breath.“Of course.”I slipped the box into my jacket pocket.“What’s that supposed to mean?”“It means you’re predictable.”I rolled my eyes.“We’re already late.”“We’re not late.”“We’ve been standing here for twenty minutes because you can’t decide whether to take a gift to a married woman.”I looked at him.“Can you stop saying it like that?”“How else should I say it?”I grabbed my keys from the table.“It’s just a gift.”“Then why are you hiding it?”“I’m not hiding it.”“You literally put it inside your jacket.”“Because I don’t want Bella asking questions.”Capri stared at me.“Exactly.”I sighed.“She’s her best friend.”“And you’re her father.”“I know.”“Then act like it.”I looked toward the staircase.Bella w
