MELANIE

I couldn't speak. I couldn't even blink. I just stared at him, completely dumbfounded.

You know that moment when you finally hear the words you’ve desperately longed for years, and you don’t know whether to scream, cry, or smile? That’s exactly where I was. My heart felt like it had stopped, then restarted at double speed.

Gavin’s brows pulled together when he saw my reaction. His hands tightened on my waist. “Melanie, did you hear me?”

“I…” I licked my suddenly dry lips, my throat feel

    MELANIEI stopped in my tracks. “Excuse me?”“You heard me.” She took a step closer, her face twisted with anger, making her look so ugly. “Gavin is mine. We were building a life together. A family. And then you came along, spreading your legs like some desperate whore. You think you can just take him from me?”If this had happened yesterday or even this morning, I would have gone straight for her throat. But right now, after everything with Gavin, I felt exhausted. I just needed to get the fuck out of her face.I let out a tired, bitter laugh. “Take him? I didn’t take anything. And I think you should go see a doctor because you are seriously delusional.”“You can’t lie about this,” she hissed, her eyes narrowing. “You even came back wearing his clothes.” She wrinkled her nose as her angry gaze scanned what I was wearing.“If you think these are Gavin’s clothes, then you belong in an asylum,” I snapped back, trying to hide the panic I felt. “You’re pathetic. It’s honestly just sad.”H

  • Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin   Chapter 102: The Woman Who Knew

    MELANIEI slammed my car door shut and gripped the steering wheel so hard the veins on my hands popped out. My chest felt tight, like someone had wrapped a rope around it and kept tightening it with every breath. I started the engine and pulled out of Gavin’s driveway without looking back. I couldn’t. If I did, I might turn around and run straight back to him like the idiot I apparently was.The road in front of me kept blurring. I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand again and again, but the tears wouldn’t stop coming. Everything kept playing on repeat in my head: every conversation, every touch, every moment since I first met him. He had always seemed so genuine. So normal. How had I missed all the signs?How could I have been so stupid?I had no idea where I was even driving. I had told Vivian I wouldn’t be home tonight, but there was nowhere else to go. Eva was still upset with me. Derek was completely out of the question. And Reynold… that bastard was the last person I wanted

  • Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin   Chapter 101: Walking Away

    MELANIEWhat the hell was going on? Was I really so unworthy of real love?The thought kept repeating in my head as I stood there staring down at Gavin. How could everything I felt for him, everything I thought we had, turn out to be one big lie? How could the way he looked at me, the way he touched me, all be part of some plan?I blinked quickly, fighting back the fresh wave of tears threatening to spill as I stared down at Gavin’s face. His expression was filled with so much pain and regret that, for a second, my stupid heart wanted to believe him. Was that all an act, too? He stood up slowly from his kneeling position and faced me squarely, his hands clenched tightly at his sides like he was physically holding himself back from touching me.“I want to tell you everything, Mel,” he said, his voice rough and full of pain. “I hate keeping things from you. But knowing the truth could put you in real danger…”“Fuck. Fuck!” I screamed, the words ripping straight out of my throat. “When

    GAVINHer question hung in the air between us. Even though she spoke softly, it hit me hard.“Melanie…” My voice cracked, filled with desperation. I took a step toward her, but she stumbled back, wrapping her arms around herself like she was trying to physically hold her shattered heart together.“Don’t,” she whispered, tears flowing freely down her face. “Don’t come any closer. Please… just don’t.”The pain in her eyes was unbearable. I had seen her angry, hurt, even vulnerable… but this was different. This was the pain of being betrayed by someone she trusted.At that moment, I hated myself more than I had ever hated anyone.“I can explain,” I said desperately, my own voice breaking. “It started that way, yes. But it’s not like that anymore. I swear to you, Mel. Everything changed. You changed everything.”She let out a bitter, broken laugh that tore through my chest like a blade. “Changed? You wrote a fucking profile on me, Gavin! You studied my weaknesses like I was some lab rat.

    GAVINI froze, completely paralyzed as the room turned ice-cold. I could feel every single drop of blood draining from my face as I watched Melanie stare down at the file in her trembling hands, her features twisted in confusion.How could I have been so careless?How the hell am I going to fix this?Every lie, every calculated move I had made from the beginning, everything I had hidden was inside that file. The photos, the notes, the analysis of her life, it was all there, staring back at her like clear proof of my betrayal. Just minutes ago, I had told her I loved her. I had held her in that tub like she was my entire world. And now… now I was about to lose her.I stretched my hand toward her desperately. “Don’t open it, Mel,” I pleaded, my voice cracking. “Please, don’t. You don’t want to see what’s inside.”She held the file tighter, her eyes moving back and forth between it and me. “My name is on the front. Why are you telling me not to open it?” Her voice was getting louder. I

I could see how hard it was for him to say it; the raw honesty there made my chest ache.I couldn't help the silly, emotional, happy tears from falling down my cheeks. “I’ve fought it for so long,” he continued, his voi
