Falling For My Ex's Dad by Oma Green

Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Catching Him In Bed With Her

Clairessa's POV

Standing in front of Gabriel's apartment at 6 a.m. was crazy—completely

unhinged, really. I knew that. I knew it the moment I stepped out of the cab and

walked up the steps. Who just shows up at someone's home without calling first?

But when the man you love—who doesn't just claim to love you but proves it daily

—suddenly ghosts you, ignores your texts, doesn't take your calls for two whole

days, and then invites you to another dinner he doesn't show up to... that breaks

all the rules.

Moreover, rules didn't matter anymore.

Not when my chest was tight with fear, anger, and disappointment. Not when I

had this gut feeling that something was wrong—that she had something to do with

this. Nicole. It had to be her.

I was here to confirm it. I deserved to know the truth.

Before I could listen to the little voice in my head urging me to turn back, I quickly

typed in the code. Of course I knew it.

Gabriel's home was quiet—just as I imagined. Though he was an early riser, he

preferred keeping things calm and undisturbed, especially in the mornings.

Still, I half expected to find him sipping his coffee with his laptop open or pacing

the room on a call.

I tiptoed up the stairs, hoping to catch him mid-prep for work. Maybe I'd see that

familiar frown he wore when stressed. Maybe I'd catch a glimpse of guilt in his

eyes. Something. Anything.

But nothing prepared me for what I walked into.

I opened the bedroom door.

There he was—Gabriel—lying in bed with a woman wrapped around him, her

head resting on his chest.

The air rushed out of my lungs as if someone had punched me in the stomach.

My heart seemed to stop. Then came the wave—an overwhelming, crashing

storm of betrayal, pain, and rage.

Every emotion hit me at once, leaving me breathless and stunned. I couldn't think.

I couldn't move. All I could do was scream.
