Father In Law Chapter 17
Anthony:My phone almost cracks with the force I grip it with. I always knew there was a little bitch under all that kindness. I scowl at the way she helped Bertha. She's just begging for someone to take advantage of her.I stare at the empty house and when at other times, I would have felt cold, just like the walls, now, I'm just burning up. In anger. I check the location of her car and she's still at her boutique. The reason I offered her a car? It's because I already had a GPS tracker fitted underneath it. Partly for safety reasons. I pour myself a finger of Scotch and resist from drinking it in one go. I check the location of her car again and find it in the exact same location as five minutes ago. After I've finished about a quarter of the Scotch, Sebastian strolls into the house, whistling. "Where have you been Sebastian?"He slows to a stop. "Out.""With who?" I look at him dead in the eyes. The same eyes he shares with Della. Hers are completely brown while mine are hazel
Father In Law Chapter 18
After the debacle from this morning, I'm barely able to concentrate on work. Through sheer willpower, I get half of the preparations done for Adeline's wedding. I've dealt with a lot of dickheads in my lifetime, in the metaphorical sense of course. But Anthony? I don't know how to deal with him. Deep in my heart, I do feel guilty about lying to his face about Sebastian's whereabouts. Sebastian has been hostile from the very start, and Anthony's the one who made it more tolerable. He did have a point there. I know I'll need a strong drink tonight. So, I plan a girl's night out with Linda and Harper. I told Julia I'll no longer be taking breakfast to their royal high asses. She was confused, but didn't question it. I've got better things to do anyway. This business doesn't run by itself. Just because it's not as big as Crosswalk Industries, doesn't mean it's little, as Anthony had put it. I get prospective clients from all around America. I take a small nap on my desk, which is unfort

I wake up the next morning and find myself in Anthony's bed. I'm still in the same dress as the night before. I get off the bed and look around the room. It's meticulous, without a single thing out of place. Well, except for my shirt and jeans folded on top of an armchair. Am I supposed to shower in here? The dress is irritating my skin and there are a set of my fresh clothes, but there may be a chance Anthony will have something to say about it, for sure. He doesn't seem like the type to like sharing his space. Speaking of Anthony, how did he know I was at that club yesterday? No one knew except Linda and Harper. I doubt any of them told him, let alone have his number. Either he's been following me or he's tracking me. He doesn't strike me as the type of person to follow someone, but then again, I wouldn't put it past him.I decide to take a shower after all, but continue to think about it, still lingering on his bed. My thoughts halt when the door opens and Anthony comes in. "Yo

"I see a whole lot of space over there." I point to the other end of the couch and look at Anthony pointedly. He spreads his legs and eats from his plate, as if he has no care in the world, completely ignoring what I just said. Just like how we're both ignoring the fact that he groped me. That shouldn't have felt as good as it did. I watch how he meticulously stabs a pelmeni, which is basically a dumpling and chews it a certain number of times. The same way he had done at my parents' house. His jaw works as he chews and his Adam's apple bobs as he swallows. After he finishes his plate, he loosens his tie with deft fingers and I press my thighs together. "I'm going to Chicago on Saturday." I inform him. "And you're telling me now?"I cross my arms over my chest and glare at him. "Is that a problem or would you have preferred me not telling you? I'm telling you three days in advance.""That bratty attitude of yours is pissing me off." The way his eyes darken signifies a threat. I

On Saturday morning, I find Anthony already seated in the jet. I'm not going to lie, I contemplated flying commercial this morning due to Anthony's asshole behavior that night, but Anthony's jet is much more comfortable. Sebastian had still been awake when I went to our room that night, and he apologized for snapping at me. After that, we talked about our respective days until I started a pillow fight. If I couldn't hit the elder Crosswalk, I could settle for hitting the younger one with a pillow. I look at Anthony's pissed face and smirk. I was late on purpose. I decide to sit in a different row from him. It's better for me that way. When I go to sit in the aisle beside him, my heel snags on a bump in the carpet and I catch hold of Anthony's arm rests before I fall and embarrass myself. God knows I've done it enough in front of this man. When I look up, my face is mere inches from his. He remains as still as a statue as usual. Sometimes, I wonder if he really groped my breasts that

Anthony takes a water bottle and I watch as his tatted hand flexes when he cracks open the bottle and Adam's apple bob as he gulps. He downs the entire thing and crushes the bottle after the water is gone. I imagine what that hand would look like circling my throat. My hand involuntarily goes to my throat and I blush. Anthony's nostrils flare and his fists clench. "I can smell your cunt."I gasp. "You're crazy."I can't believe his audacity. He's not wrong, but still. He doesn't have to point it out. I glance at his slacks and my eyes widen. His erection looks obscene. How would it be if I just straddled his hips and gyrated against that? I cross my legs and immediately slam my thoughts to a halt. This perverted woman isn't who I am. I've never been so desperate for a man and I'm not going to start now. Thankfully, the car stops in front of my hotel and I waste no time in getting out, but to my dismay, Anthony gets out too. "I'm fine now. You can go on your way."He buttons up hi

I wait at Clover Cafe for Clara, Warren's sister. It's a fairly big internet cafe. Most of the patrons are college students and a few businessmen scattered here and there. I go over my budget and select the wedding venue for Adeline's marriage, whilst waiting for Clara. A few minutes later, a tall brunette enters the cafe. She must be Clara, as I'm assuming the 'C' pendant dangling from her neck stands for her name. I wave at her and she heads to my table. "Charlotte Daymond?""Yes, you must be Clara." I get up to hug her. "I'm so sorry for running late. My boss wouldn't let me go." She chuckles."Oh, seems demanding."I open an itinerary on my laptop. "He is, ever since he put this ring on my finger. Won't let me out of his sight."I laugh and look at her diamond ring. Her smile looks blissful. "Seems like a story I'd like to hear." She giggles and I show her my laptop screen. "You want the wedding held here, yes?""That's right."I set the dates for her venue check, cake tast
Father In Law Chapter 24
It's a surprise that Anthony drives us to the restaurant. Honestly, I didn't even know which one I wanted to go to when I was heading out, but it looks like he's picked one out, because he looks like he's sure as to where he's driving. I watch his profile as he drives. His tatted hands clutch the steering wheel and his watch glints from the streetlights' refraction. The way he drives is so smooth as the car glides under his handling. His hair is perfectly styled, his beard is neatly trimmed and his build is lean and athletic. There's not even a hint of a beer gut to be found. His biceps bulge as he turns the steering wheel. He's a man who takes care of himself and that's undeniably hot. We finally come to a stop in front a big building. Le Petit-Italie. The valet opens my door and Anthony hands over the keys. Anthony walks in and is immediately greeted by a man who reminds me of Santa Claus. "Anthony!" The man pulls him into a hug, before turning to me. "Bella! Who is this beauti
