Falling For My Ex's Dad by Oma Green

Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Betrayal Stings

Gabriel's POV

I glared at Nicole, reluctant to entertain whatever nonsense she had concocted.

But curiosity got the better of me. I opened my laptop, pulled up my inbox, and

clicked on the new message from her.

The image loaded.

My heart stopped.

The photo showed Clairessa-my Clairessa-lips locked with another man in her

office.

The impact hit me like a blow to the gut.

The world around me blurred as the betrayal burned into my mind. For a moment,

I couldn't breathe. Couldn't think.

I stared at the image, trying to make out the man's face, but the angle was wrong.

The only thing clear was Clairessa-the way her body leaned into him, the way

her hand pressed against his chest.

The same hands that had touched me.

The same lips that had whispered my name.

Betrayal stung so deeply, threatening to break through, but I forced myself to stay

composed, to keep my expression blank, even as my insides burned.

Nicole's voice snapped me back to reality. "Mr. Storm, in case you're doubting the

authenticity of this picture, I should let you know that I took it myself. And if you

still think I'm making this up, just take note of the dress-that's the one she was

wearing the day you flew out of the city."

My grip tightened on the mouse.

I forced myself to look at the image again, bile rising in my throat. She was right. It

was the same dress she wore yesterday... the same day I left.

The air in my office felt suffocating.

Nicole's voice turned softer but still laced with venom. "I know this must be
