Tessa had backed out at the last minute. Unable to risk facing Maribel’s endless questions that would come with the reason she was with her father, dressed like a slut that night, she had changed her mind about going to the airport with him. To protect her, Julian had arranged for a private chauffeur to pick Tessa up from a more secure location, ensuring she got home safely. Luck was on her side as she managed to get home and settle in before Julian arrived with his daughter.It was a crazy night, but it ended better than she had imagined after receiving Maribel’s calls and texts.-AT THE OFFICESince the last time she stormed into Sebastian’s office to return his flowers, he had stopped his usual morning routine of sending her flowers. There had also been a decline in his visits to her office. Only work-related matters brought him there now, and they were always solely professional. No extra discussions that weren’t business.Everyone had noticed the coldness between them. It was

Soft footsteps descended the stairs, revealing Bianca in her full grace. More beautiful and elegant than the last time Tessa had seen her. If Maribel wanted this woman for her father, Tessa knew she didn’t even come close. Bianca’s presence intimidated her, but she never wanted to admit that.A house worker in uniform bowed in reverence, gesturing to Tessa and Maribel. A few words were exchanged between them before Bianca walked closer to join them in the vast living room that showcased her wealth in its fullest form.Marble floors gleaming under crystal chandeliers, designer furniture arranged with effortless precision, and floor-to-ceiling windows dressed in sheer silk. All Tessa would never be able to afford unless she worked her ass off for years.“I have been waiting for you to bring your friend to me.” Bianca opened her arms to receive Maribel. “How have you been, dear?” She glimpsed Tessa and smiled. “You’re finally here, Tessa.” She let go of Maribel, gathering Tessa in her ar

It was 4:30 am on a Sunday morning. Tessa was tossing on her bed, trying to get some sleep before the day's celebration started. In a few minutes, Maribel would come to get her for the first birthday surprise they’d planned for Julian.Sleep was slowly creeping in when she heard a bang at her door. Whining, she covered her ears with her pillows. She needed to get some sleep. “Tessa, open up, it’s time to surprise Dad.” Maribel’s voice rang from outside. She muttered a curse under her breath as she begrudgingly rolled out of bed. It was finally time. According to their plan, Maribel would go into his room at exactly five am to wake him and bring him downstairs to cut the cake, and there would be a party later that day. A party fully planned and sponsored by them. Julian had no idea his house would soon be flooded later today.She slid on her flip-flops and headed towards the door, but not without glancing at the wall clock. They still had about twenty minutes to go. Why was Maribel r

“Hey, Adrian,” Maribel moved between him and the portrait, cutting off his focus before he could linger on it. “Meet Tessa, my best friend.” She introduced. “She decides if you’ll have me or not.”The corner of Adrian’s mouth lifted slightly. His eyes swept over Tessa once, quick and reluctant, before he forced them away. Tessa shivered inwardly. There was something about this man. Something dark, as if he were hiding behind a façade that anyone but Maribel could see.“Nice meeting you, Tessa.” His smile grew bigger as he asked, “Do you approve of our relationship?”The tone sounded too malicious, but Tessa returned his smile, saying. “Of course. Anything that makes Bel happy makes me happy too, and thanks for coming here today. It’s good to finally see you.”Maribel stared at them, smiling the whole time they conversed. “He has met Dad and Bianca.” She told her friend.“Great,” Tessa’s eyes darted across the room to rest on Julian.He stood pressed against the wall.
