Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste Book 2: Seven
Kassidy's POVThe reunion with Eli had left me emotionally unsettled, but more than anything, it convinced me even more that Eli can never learn about my daughter.I sat on the closed lid of the toilet, my hands still damp from the cold water, staring at the white tile floor of the corporate bathroom. My mind was spinning out of control. But the initial shock was quickly hardening into something else: a fierce determination. He could never find out about Summer.I had dragged myself through law school, survived the sleepless nights with a newborn, and built a safe, happy world in Austin. And I was not going to let him pull down the walls of the sanctuary I fought so hard to create. We would be strangers who happened to share a boardroom table and nothing more.With that resolution in my heart, I stood up, smoothed down the wrinkles in my skirt, and opened the bathroom door. When I got back to w

Elijah's POVIt took me every house of control I had to not lose my mind in the office. I managed to get through the rest of the day with only one question on my mind.What the fuck was Kassidy doing here?!The moment I got home, I threw my keys onto the kitchen counter. I couldn't sit down, I couldn't stand still, or do anything else, really. I pulled at the knot of my tie, ripping the top button of my shirt open just to breathe properly.Seeing Kassidy again had broken apart the carefully controlled life I had spent four years building. Four years of trying to convince myself that I had done the right thing by letting her go forever.But the moment she walked into that boardroom, every single defense I had constructed turned to dust. She was so different now, no longer the broken girl who had left Minnesota State University. People respected her the moment she opened her mouth, I saw it right there and then in the meeting. She had become the lawyer she had always wanted to be. And y

Kassidy's POVI fiddled with the front buttons of my tailored gray blazer as the elevator doors slid open on the executive floor of Ashford Holdings the next day. Beside me, my colleagues: David, a senior partner, and Sarah, our quick-witted junior associate, were busy reviewing notes on their digital tablets. I took a calm breath, preparing myself for another difficult corporate client. I fully expected to meet Elijah Ashford, I was sure he was just another hardened businessman who would try to test my expertise the moment we sat down. But I would beat him down the way I did Mr Henderson."Remember, Kassidy," David muttered as we stepped out into the reception hallway. "Ashford Holdings is looking for efficiency. They want to make sure we know our onions, so, be prepared for a tough crowd.""I am always prepared, David," I replied and he smiled reassuringly.We were guided by a polite receptionist down a long hallway lined with abstract art, eventually stopping before a set of doubl

Kassidy's POVThe humid air of the valley area was something I definitely didn't miss about Wisconsin. It clouded my nostrils the second we stepped onto the metal stairs of the passenger bridge, and I sniffed in frustration.Hudson Falls did not have an airport, which is why I had used this one, the closest to the town. I squeezed Summer's small hand in mine, adjusting the strap of my leather travel bag on my shoulder as we walked into the bustling terminal."Mommy, are we in the new house yet?" Summer asked, pulling on my arm as she hopped over a crack in the linoleum floor. "Is it going to have a big yard for the purple horses?""Not yet, sweetie," I replied, offering her a calm smile as we followed the signs toward the b

Would you care to explain this discrepancy to the board, or should we skip straight to the legal counsel?"The boardroom fell into a freezing silence. Across the long mahogany table, Mr. Davies looked like he had just been hit by a truck. His face went pale, his fingers trembling as he tried to smooth down his silk tie."Mr. Ash... Mr. Ashford, please," Mr. Davies stammered, sweating under the ceiling lights. "There was a system error during the transition. The accounting depa

Kassidy's POVI got to the law firm building at the crack of daybreak and hurried inside, heading towards my private office. When I got there, I set my bag down, logged into the secure network on my laptop, and watched my email inbox refresh. Before long, the email from Mr. Pendleton about the new job popped up.Sighing inwardly at the sheer size of the document, I clicked the file open, my eyes scanning the introductory brief. The numbers were staggering. We were talking about a multi-billion dollar portfolio that I knew could cement our firm's reputation on a national level."And they think I'm the only one who can handle this," I muttered. "Way to have faith in me, Mr. Pendleton."The sharp, double rap agai

Kassidy's POVThe rain started at four forty-seven in the evening. I had no umbrella, and I had no rain jacket. All I brought was a tote bag with a notebook in it that I absolutely could not afford to replace. The bus stop was a seven-minute walk from the campus gates. I was already having the wors
