I could read the subtle move of his lips. I clenched my fist.
Chloe shook her head. “No. Perhaps today is her day off? She told me once that she has set days for work.”
David shook his head slowly. “I don’t think so.”
I furrowed my brows. He didn’t think so? So he was closely monitoring her?
What the fuck was he—
“Mr. McPherson.”
Someone called out, and David answered immediately. He trailed out with the rest, and soon, I was left alone.
Have you seen Evie today?
I scoffed. I’d given Evie the day off. Last I checked, that was none of his fucking business.
I brought my hands to rub my temple. Her loud moans suddenly reverberated through the room. Like a tape recorder, my mind played out scenes of our pleasure.
Evie.
I didn’t expect to have sex with her this morning. It just showed how stupid I was. What did I expect to happen waking up next to the sight of her in my shirt after taking her virginity? I should have known she’d be irresistible.
I couldn’t lie; sex with her was like a drug. A sweet, wholesome high that I never wanted to climb down from.
I’d worshiped the sexy art piece that was her body. I’d cherished her, just like I wanted to. Her body was like a treasure, and I wanted to keep her locked away in my chest for as long as I could.
In that moment, I wanted to be selfish— finally have what I’d been longing for. And I did.
I’d forgotten it all… pushed any rational thoughts behind the fickle barrier of emotions. And I enjoyed every bit of it.
At the party, I enjoyed our conversation. Suddenly, she’d seemed less of a chatterbox to me. After the party, I enjoyed something more. And after taking her virginity, I wanted more.
I wanted her all over again.
But now, in her absence, the facade of the high was slowly dissipating. And I could see the reality of my actions. Still, everything I felt remained, but they were overshadowed by one emotion. Guilt.
I fucked my best friend’s daughter. My best friend’s daughter, whom I was supposed to help attain a better future. I fucked her and even told her to call me daddy.
Her daddy wouldn’t be too pleased.
Fuck.
What have I done?
Why was it now when things were getting better with Sophie? Evie was my daughter’s nanny. She was supposed to help my daughter.
Images of James’s smiling face barreled through my brain. James trusted me with his life. He trusted me with his daughter. And what did I do?
I brought my palms in front of me, looking at them like they were coated in blood, before plunging them into my hair. A sharp pain pricked my gut.
Not just blood. My palms were coated in much worse— sins. Sins of the forbidden.
I’d sinned against James. I’d sinned against his late wife. I’d sinned against myself.
I’d broken a promise to myself. A promise to never allow the mistake to repeat itself.
My breathing started to come out in hard pants. I’d betrayed James's trust. I hated myself.
