I made a mistake. A terrible, unforgettable mistake. It all started with one reckless, drunken night-a night that shattered everything I knew. I slept with him. Not just any man, but Zayden Whitemore-my father's best friend, the man I'd secretly loved for years. I thought it was just a one-time mistake. But I was wrong. Because now, I'm marrying his son. How am I supposed to live under the same roof with a son who became my husband, when every glance at his father stirs something deeper, darker in me? His scent still lingers in the hallway, his voice echoes in my memories-and I crave him like a sin I've already committed. God help me... this house is a cage of temptation, and I am far too aware of the bars." It wasn't supposed to be like this. I was supposed to marry Vincent to save my father's failing business, to escape the scandal that ruined my family. But how can I pretend to be the perfect wife when my heart-and body-crave his father? Zayden is older and forbidden. Every time he looks at me, I burn with desire. Every time he pushes me away, I fall harder. We both know it's wrong, but we can't stop. Loving him is dangerous. Staying with him could destroy me. But walking away? That might break me for good. How do you escape a love that's forbidden... and impossible to forget?

IN LOVE WITH MY FATHER'S BILLONAIRE BESTFRIEND Chapter 1 A night with my dad's friends

SCARLETT

"Good morning."

The voice cut through the haze in my mind, soft and familiar, like it had always been part of my world. I knew that voice. It was the voice I had heard countless times in my father's house. The voice that sent my heart racing every time I heard it.

For a moment, I didn't move. I didn't even breathe. I just lay there, my eyes still closed, hoping-praying-that I was imagining things.

But I wasn't.

Slowly, I brushed the messy strands of hair out of my face and opened my eyes, blinking against the soft morning light.

And there he was.

Zayden.

Lying in bed.

Next to me.

Oh. My. God.

My breath caught in my throat, and my heart started pounding so hard I thought it might explode. I sat up slowly, clutching the blanket tightly around me, my hands trembling as I tried to process what I was seeing.

Zayden's face was pale, his dark hair tousled, and his eyes-those deep, intense eyes I'd always loved-were wide with shock. He looked like he couldn't believe this was happening either.

"What... what the hell?" he muttered, sitting up quickly. He ran a hand through his hair, his jaw tightening as he avoided looking at me.

My mind was racing, memories from last night flooding back in pieces, like shattered glass slicing through my thoughts. I remembered the fight with my dad. The club. The drinks. The kiss.

Oh, God.

I felt a wave of nausea as the realization hit me. I had just slept with my father's best friend.

Zayden was forty-six. My dad's age.

What have I done?

I had always liked Zayden. No, scratch that-I had always been obsessed with him. Ever since I was a teenager, he had been my secret crush, the man I fantasized about late at night when I was supposed to be sleeping.

My friends, Jessica and Clara, knew all about it. They used to tease me relentlessly whenever Zayden came over to visit my dad.

"Scarlett, stop drooling," Jessica would whisper, elbowing me as I stared at him from across the living room.

"You're going to marry him one day," Clara would joke, and we'd all laugh.

But it wasn't a joke to me. Not really.

I had tried everything to get his attention over the years. I remember when I turned sixteen and suddenly realized that I wasn't a kid anymore. My body had changed. I had curves, and I knew how to use them.

One time, I wore a tight, low-cut dress when I knew Zayden was coming over. I spent hours doing my hair and makeup, hoping he'd notice. And he did.

"Scarlett, aren't you a little young to be dressing like that?" he had said, raising an eyebrow as he glanced at my outfit.

My face had turned bright red, and I mumbled something about fashion before rushing upstairs. But deep down, I had been thrilled. He had noticed me.

Another time, I had accidentally-on-purpose dropped my notebook in front of him so I could bend down and pick it up, giving him a full view of my legs. I wasn't subtle, but I didn't care.

And then there was the time I had walked around the house barefoot, hoping he'd notice my pedicure. I'd heard somewhere that men had a thing for feet, and I was desperate to catch his attention any way I could.

But no matter what I did, Zayden always treated me like a kid.

Until last night.

"Scarlett, say something," Zayden said, his voice breaking through my thoughts.

I blinked, realizing I had been staring at him in stunned silence.

"This... this can't be real," I whispered. "Tell me this isn't real."

"It's real," he said, his voice low and rough. "We... we slept together."

The words hung in the air like a dark cloud, suffocating me.

"This is wrong," he added, shaking his head. "I'm your father's best friend, Scarlett. I'm way too old for you. This should never have happened."

"But it did," I said, my voice trembling. "And you can't tell me you didn't want it."

He flinched, like my words had physically hurt him.

"Don't do this," he said, his voice tight. "Don't make this harder than it already is."

Angel ❤️, [4/1/2025 8:35 AM]

"Make what harder?" I demanded, my anger bubbling to the surface. "Admitting that you've wanted me just as much as I've wanted you?"

"Scarlett..."

"No, don't 'Scarlett' me!" I snapped, throwing the blanket off and standing up. "You think I haven't noticed the way you've looked at me all these years? You think I haven't seen the way your eyes follow me every time you come over?"

His jaw tightened, and he looked away, like he couldn't bear to meet my gaze.

"I was just a kid back then," I continued, my voice rising. "But I'm not a kid anymore. And you knew that last night. You knew exactly what you were doing."

He stood up too, towering over me, his face inches from mine. "I was drunk," he said through gritted teeth. "We both were."

"So what? Are you saying it didn't mean anything?"

He didn't answer.

The silence stretched between us, heavy and suffocating.

"Just admit it," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "Admit that you've wanted me all along."

He closed his eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath. When he opened them again, they were filled with something that looked a lot like pain.

"It doesn't matter what I want," he said quietly. "It can't happen. We can't happen."

My chest tightened, and for a moment, I thought I might cry. But I didn't. I refused to cry in front of him.

"Fine," I said, my voice cold. "If that's how you feel, then get out."

He looked at me, his eyes searching mine like he was trying to find something-some reason to stay, maybe. But then he nodded, grabbed his shirt from the floor, and walked toward the door.

Just as he reached for the handle, the door swung open.

And there, standing in the doorway, was the last person I ever expected to see.

My father.

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
