Lahat ng Kabanata ng Fell for My Father’s Best Friend: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 15

Kael’s POV“Mr. Viremont,” my assistant said over the phone, “We’ve secured Vivienne Walter inside your casino. But her mental state seems... unstable. As for Eric Williams—he disappeared from the hospital. He hasn’t made any public appearance since. We suspect he’s waiting for your story to break first, then planning to stir the waters.”I hummed in acknowledgment and ended the call.I’d left the hospital in such a hurry—so desperate to chase after Seraphina—that I’d let that bastard Eric slip away. But at least I still had Vivienne.Keeping her close was strategic. She was leverage. Eric wouldn’t stay away forever. Not when the woman carrying his child was in my hands.And if this scandal went public, it would blow back on both of us. Eric wasn’t just some nobody—he was publicly known as my friend. He’d go down too. So I hoped I can negotiate a meeting with him. But I hadn’t realized just how far gone he was.On the third day—right after I’d left Vivienne’s room (where she still ref

Seraphina’s POVFather had set the dinner party at one of the finest hotels downtown.When Josh and I arrived, I expected something small. Intimate. A dinner with maybe four people max.Instead, I walked straight into a ballroom of at least a hundred guests, chandeliers blazing overhead and champagne flutes already clinking in celebration.“Oh no,” I muttered. “Not again, Father.”“Sera!” My father’s voice boomed across the room. “Everyone—my daughter is here! The one who closed the deal at the Dusks casino today!”A wave of applause erupted. I could feel my cheeks flush with heat.“Josh,” I whispered, mortified. “I didn’t know it would be... this kind of party.”This wasn’t just a family dinner—it was a full-blown gathering. A meet-and-greet for every major mafia family within a hundred-mile radius. And suddenly, I wasn’t so sure bringing Josh was a great idea.He wasn’t from this world.Except—he kind of was.Josh didn’t flinch. In fact, he looked like he belonged. Confident, easy, s

Kael’s POVI didn’t move.Not for a long time. Not since Seraphina walked out with that guy—Josh something?I couldn’t even remember his full name. All I knew was that I was angry.No—furious.And I didn’t even know why. Maybe it was because, in my head, I’d imagined our reunion so differently. She was supposed to run toward me, arms wide, eyes wet. She was supposed to fall into me like she used to—like she belonged there.Instead, she wrapped herself around him.Josh. Whatever-his-last-name-was. Was he rich? Was he powerful? Was he better than me?No. Couldn’t be. Sure, my casino business wasn’t exactly thriving these days—not after the fallout with Eric, and the media circus he’d dragged me into. Investors pulled out. Whispers started. A few too many people started looking at me like I was no longer invincible.But I still had my name. My weight in the mafia circle.And more than that—I had Seraphina. Or I thought I did.I knew her. I knew every inch of her. Her favorite movies.
