On my engagement day, I discovered that the object of my father's affair was none other than my best friend.
Watching the two of them embracing not far away, I nearly collapsed.
Instinctively, I reached for my fiancé Alec's hand, seeking comfort.
But I touched the back of a hand that was ice-cold and clenched into a tight fist.
Confused, I looked at Alec, only to see his eyes blazing red, his face contorted with jealousy and madness. Before I could react, he charged forward and landed a punch square on my father's face.
"Quint, you dare touch my woman? I'll kill you!"

My Father's Affair with My Bestie Drove My Fiancé Insane

I directly hung up the phone and immediately blocked Alec.


A sense of immense satisfaction washed over me.


Riding this wave of good feelings, I started wandering aimlessly through Garrison's mansion.

They treated me with the same respectful demeanor they showed Garrison.


Until I reached a room on the top floor.


Suddenly, a voice behind me called out: "Scarlett, do you really want to go in and look?"


I whirled around, meeting Garrison's intense gaze.


"Weren't you on a business trip? Why are you back?"


He flashed a smile, gentler than any I'd seen before.


"I canceled it. I realized suddenly that leaving you here alone to face the storm wasn't something a husband should do."


That 'husband' comment caught me off guard, leaving me unsure how to react.


Garrison, however, walked right up to me, closing the distance between us.
