LUCYS SWEET OBSESSION

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch-a titan of industry and my best friend's father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

"What are you talking about, Thaeddus?!"

"Don't make me repeat myself."

"You can't do this to me!"

I froze at what I witnessed.

I had just opened the door to a room in the office, and a chaotic sight greeted me. The room was messy, and it looked like something undesirable had happened inside. My eyes widened when I saw a used contraceptive bag.

"Baby, what's the problem? Tell me!"

I shifted my attention back to the two people arguing in the room.

There was a woman who was nicely dressed and a man wearing only black pajamas. He had a white towel draped over his shoulder, as if he had just come out of the shower.

"Just leave, Nana. Lia doesn't want you around."

"Who's Lia?! Your whore?!" screamed the beautiful woman. My grip tightened on the door handle when I noticed the man's expression darken towards her. He looked furious, but the grin on his face remained.

He giggled softly. "You're just my whore too."

The woman flushed with anger. She stepped closer to him, making her look small in front of him. "I'm your girlfriend!"

The guy giggled again. "You hooked me for bed. Don't assume too much. Get out." He turned his back on her as if he was going to walk away, but she hugged him tightly.

"Thaeddus, please! Don't do this to me! I love you! Fix us!"

My eyes widened as the man suddenly turned around violently and pushed the woman, causing her to fall onto the bed.

That was intentional on his part, and even though it wasn't obvious, because of his size, it looked like he had slammed her down onto the bed.

"Quit it. Get out before I slam your face off!" the man said angrily.

He had his back turned to me so I couldn't see his face, but judging by the woman's sobs that were slowly turning into tears from fear-his expression must have been terrifying.

The woman stood up abruptly and grabbed her small bag roughly.

"You fucker, Thaeddus!" she yelled as she turned towards me.

I froze.

The woman stopped walking and raised an eyebrow at me. The man noticed her gaze and turned towards me as well.

Now they both had their attention on me.

I tightened my grip on the door handle even more, and my heart was pounding like crazy.

I wanted to leave moments ago, but I was still too shocked by what I saw. When I opened the door earlier, a piece of clothing had been thrown in my direction, and I didn't know which one of them did it.

"Is this Lia? Your whore?!" The woman's eyes blazed as she glared at the man.

I looked at him too, and he was definitely glaring at me with disdain.

I cleared my throat and prepared to speak because I felt like I had lost my voice from embarrassment.

"Uh... W-What..." I couldn't speak properly. My heart was racing so much that it felt like I might burst into tears from fear. "I-I'm... uh..."

"Are you Lia?!" screamed the woman. Her glare intensified towards me, so I quickly shook my head.

My gaze fell on my bag, and I hurriedly rummaged through it for my ID. I quickly held it up for them to see.

I forced myself to speak. "I-I'm the therapist that Mr. Harry hired for Mr. Levesque's physical treatment..."

Oh no.

If I'm not mistaken, the man in front of me is my client-Thaeddus Lyu Levesque...

The woman's eyebrows raised in surprise, and after a moment, she scoffed. She turned to Thaeddus and spoke up again.
