*Lexie’s POV*The hospital's parking lot is a quiet backdrop to the turmoil brewing within me. Leaning against Noland's car, I scan the entrance for him. The busy steps of the people coming in and out of the hospital are numbing my senses. The cool afternoon adds an extra layer of unease to the already tense atmosphere. Natasha paces beside me, her vivacious energy subdued by frustration and worry.Carol is watching closely, she is vigilant and observing the surroundings, making sure we are safe.I place a comforting hand on Natasha's arm, hoping to ease the anxiety within her. "What if you try to think who this mystery woman is?" I suggest, my voice a gentle undertone against the distant hum of the city. "Maybe it's someone you had a fight with."Natasha shoots me a grateful look, but her uncertainty is palpable. "I have no idea who it could be, Lexie. I can't think of anyone I've upset that much."I nod and ponder about it, she is right to be upset and angry, and I would be to

*Noland’s POV*The harsh ring of my phone cuts through the tense air of the hospital parking lot, snapping my attention away from Lexie, Natasha, and the unsettling news about Eleanor. It's Chris, and the urgency in his voice is palpable."Noland, I've traced the location of the rental car," Chris says, his words punctuated by a gravity that sends a chill down my spine. "It's an abandoned building on the outskirts of the city. I am heading there now."I glance at Lexie and Natasha, their expressions a mix of determination and concern. "Stay here with Carol. It might be dangerous," I urge, my protective instincts surfacing.They exchange a glance before Lexie steps forward, her eyes unwavering. "We're not staying behind, Noland.

Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 1 : The Nightmares Will Stop
*Lexie’s POV*I stand in front of Natasha's house, hesitating to ring the bell of the large countryside estate. My heart is racing, and my hands are shaking. I left everything behind in New York, desperate for a change of scenery and a break from my mounting problems. Natasha has always been my anchor, and I know she will understand.I take a deep breath and decide to ring when I catch Natasha running towards me already, as she opens the gate, I am engulfed in a warm embrace. "Lexie, my love! I'm so glad you're here!" she exclaims, her blue eyes filled with concern."Thanks, Tash," I say, my voice barely above a whisper. I am still a bit nervous, but I am happy to be here with her."Come on in," she says, leading me into her estate.A small golf cart comes to pick us up, I chuckle at the serious driver as he takes us to the main house and leaves us right in the front door.

Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 2 : New Dreams
The door clicks shut behind me as I step into the lavishly decorated room Natasha has insisted is now mine. My eyes dart around, taking in the exquisite furnishings, the plush velvet chaise, the massive four-poster bed with silk sheets. This kind of luxury is foreign to me. I run my fingers along the embroidered throw pillows, inhaling the subtle scent of jasmine in the air. "So, what do you think?" Natasha asks eagerly from the doorway. I turn to face her, still stunned. "It's… incredible. But it's too much, Tash. I can't accept all this."She waves her hand dismissively. "Nonsense. Mi casa es tu casa now. Make yourself at home." I nod hesitantly. Natasha means well, but sometimes her extravagant lifestyle only highlights the vast differences in our upbringings. "Oh, before I forget, there's a gala at the museum on Friday that I must attend. Come with me?" Natasha tilts her head, eyes pleading."Thanks, but no thanks. Not really my scene." I try to keep my tone light. Crowde
Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 3 : Resurfacing Desires
*Noland’s POV*I lean back in my leather chair, steepling my fingers beneath my chin as I review the acquisition documents for the new development. Each clause has been carefully negotiated, every detail scrutinized to eliminate even the slightest margin for error.My phone trills, shattering the silence. “Daddy, can you find where I left the folder I asked you? I can’t seem to find it and I am already back home with Lexie.”I shake my head. “I will take a look around. I hope this information was not left on your uber drive.”The chances are thin, but she needs to be scared a bit in order to pay more attention. “I am sorry daddy.”“We will find it, talk to you later,” I sigh as I end the call and ponder about where she could have left that information. She asked me for one of my high-end estates to see if her company could rent it for events. I told her I could let her host events for free but she insisted on paying."The representatives from Pacific Trust will be her

*Lexie’s POV*My heart races as the limousine pulls up the winding drive of Noland Reynolds’ sprawling estate. After months of struggling to put the pieces of my life back together, Natasha has finally convinced me to join her at one of her lavish parties.Part of me craves an escape from my daily routine, but another part dreads the scrutiny of Santa Barbara’s elite. Their pitying glances and whispered gossip about who I am and what I am doing here at such a private event.Natasha gives my hand an encouraging squeeze. “You’re going to have a wonderful time. Everyone will be busy, and you will get a chance to meet some people and have fun.”I offer her a wan smile, unconvinced. What I am convinced of, though, is to not become an annoyance in her summer, so I will do my best to really have some fun.The limousine comes to a stop, and my breath catches at the sight before me.
