Dylan's POV

“Her daughter?” I managed to ask after a brief silence, I couldn’t believe my ears. There's no way I have a daughter I don't know about. My eyes shot to Mia.

“Mia, I'm going to ask you as calmly as I can right now. What is your brother talking about?”

She stared at me with wide eyes and confusion on her face while she held her chest like her heart was beating so fast it hurt but I couldn’t care about that at the moment.

“Mia.” I stepped toward her, trying to remain calm. “I don’t want to beg you to speak up so fucking say something before I finally lose it.”

She looked towards Amah, who shook her head sadly with pity in her eyes, and I could see Mia was still hesitating, but I didn't have the time for that. I need to know what's going on. I walked closer to her so our faces were inches apart.

She glanced at her brother, probably for help, before looking at me, “Dylan, please, I can't…” She looked down at her feet.

“You can’t what, Mia? Look, I don't have the time for you

  • Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister    Family Picnic

    Mia’s POVAfter the interview last week, things changed for us. But not in a dramatic, or bad way. Things started to change slowly but surely, like we were reluctant to make the change we needed to happen or too scared to let things be different at all.We started by doing things we hadn’t done happily together in years. They were simple things, but really meaningful. They made me feel so happy and I could tell Truth and Dylan felt the same way.We ate meals together, not just out of routine, but intentionally. Conversations flowed more easily, silences felt less strained if there were any at all, and Truth soaked it all in with wide eyes, curious and quietly thrilled that her parents weren’t just coexisting anymore. Things were less awkward between us too.We started taking her to places from our past. Dylan suggested it, like he wanted to show her who we were before life got messy. Honestly I didn't think it was a good idea but seeing how excited Truth was, I just had to give in.W

  • Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister    Genuine Love

    Mia’s POVFrom the other room I was supposed to be working from, I sat on the edge of the chair, eyes locked on the television screen. I felt like crying but I didn’t have the strength for that.The interview was still playing.“So as you read in the article a few weeks ago, I was an abused foster kid and I was also bullied by my classmates and my neighbours,” Dylan said, his voice steady. “But Her family… they found me, accepted me as theirs and took me in. They still mean a whole to me. Especially her brother. He was the one who stood up to the guys bullying me and then he taught me how to fight. We were literally inseparable then. If it wasn’t for him, I probably would've been dead a long time ago and I would've never met the beautiful woman I love till today. I have a lot of regrets but my greatest regret is leaving her side because I was too scared.”My heart clenched and the tears finally started flowing. But he wasn’t finished.“I missed her so much I needed therapy, but I sto

  • Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister    Going Public

    Going PublicDylan’s POVThe day had finally come. Scott Incorporated was going public. The main event that brought us together again.Strange enough, I didn’t feel the usual nerves. Maybe it was because for the first time in a long time, something more important than money had taken root in my life. My daughter.CNN Business, Channel 34, Arise News…they were all here, their crews setting up lights and cameras in my office. Mia said if the world was going to know the man behind the suits, this was the moment. I guess she was right.She’d kept her distance over the past few days. Understandably. After everything I shared, I knew she needed space. Still, it didn’t stop the ache I felt whenever she wasn’t around.Luckily, Truth had filled in those empty spaces.She was sunlight on a rainy day. So, so bright, unexpected, and impossible to ignore. We talked for hours now every day. She told me stories about her childhood, her dreams, her obsession with sneakers and dance. I had no idea she

  • Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister    When Healing Starts

    Mia's POV About thirty-five minutes later, we pulled through the towering massive gates of Dylan’s home, and my breath caught in my throat.Calling it a house or even a mansion, would’ve been an insult.This was a world of its own, tucked behind thick layers of privacy, elegance, and quiet power. The winding driveway alone looked like it belonged in a movie: flanked by sculpted hedges, manicured flower beds bursting with colour, and trees so perfectly placed they had to be part of the blueprint. Everything whispered wealth, but it didn’t scream. It didn’t need to.The car glided to a stop in front of a sprawling courtyard paved with smooth stone and lined with garden lanterns. To the left, an open garage port stretched wide, and sleek luxury vehicles parked like prized ornaments. But it was the house that stole the moment.Modern and majestic, it rose in soft cream stone, kissed with black steel and sparkling glass. Massive columns framed the front, with ivy crawling up the side like

  • Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister    A sign of Progress

    Dylan’s POV“This is just...wow,” Truth muttered, squinting at the sleek interior of the jet like it personally offended her. “Do you really have your own plane or did you rent it to impress me or something?.”I chuckled. “Nope. I didn’t rent it because it's mine and I actually have four more planes.”She arched a brow, unimpressed. “Good for you, I guess, but do you really need to brag much?”“Truth,” Mia warned gently, her voice low.Truth threw her hands up, plopping into one of the leather seats. “What? He said it like I was supposed to gasp and clap.”I bit back a grin, studying her. She had a sharp mouth. Just like me.“My dad has five private jets. I'm the luckiest girl in the world,” she said mockingly under her breath.Mia sighed and sank into a seat near the window—deliberately the furthest one from me. She didn’t say much after that. That worried me more than if she’d started yelling.“Uh, excuse me, sir...I mean...D-Dad,” Truth said suddenly, stuttering out the last word l

  • Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister    First Family Dinner

    Dylan's POV I got my driver to quickly buy me some clothes for me to change in and Truth brought them up for me quietly.Then I went down to have dinner with them, feeling relieved to see Mia didn’t look so angry. I guess she always tries her best to be happy around our daughter, which, I must admit, is a really strong thing for her to do. Mia cooked a really delicious meal and we ate together. Like we were a real family. It felt so unreal being here. One minute I'm just a billionaire CEO working his ass; the next thing I know, I'm someone's Father. I enjoyed watching my beautiful girls, grateful I was able to have dinner with them. She was so patient and amazing with our daughter, and I could tell that she and Truth were very close. They were so close; they had conversations with their eyes sometimes. Seeing their special relationship made my head and heart hurt. I had definitely missed a lot.After Mia introduced their nanny to me, she told her it was late so she could stay and

  • Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister    Invasion of Privacy

    Mia’s POVGetting ready to move was taking longer than it was supposed to, so we had to agree to leave tomorrow. Truth wasn’t exactly thrilled, and I couldn’t blame her. The energy around us had shifted, heavier somehow since Dylan showed up. She barely looked at him, barely responded when he tried to start conversations. She gave him one-word answers, avoided eye contact, and stayed close to me.It made things...awkward. And as much as I hated to admit it, a small part of me was grateful she didn’t take to him so easily. I wasn’t ready for that. I wasn’t sure if I ever would be.Dylan invited himself to spend the night in my house, claiming it was too late to head back. I knew he could go back but there was no point arguing with him in front of our daughter.He was supposed to sleep in the guest bedroom. Supposed to.We'd been awkward around each other since that time in the plane, but that's clearly his fault. I wish we didn't have to do any of this but it wouldn't be fair to him a

  • Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister    Truth II

    Dylan's POV I was getting really anxious and impatient waiting for Mia to come out, so I considered letting myself in. I was still thinking about it when the front door opened, and I saw my daughter running out.I was stunned at how she looked exactly like her mother when she was that age. No wonder no one could guess I was her father; it's like my genes went on a vacation because she looks nothing like me. Mia really pulled a copy and paste on this one. She rushed to where I stood and stopped in front of me. She cocked her head to the side and looked at me from head to toe like she was assessing me. We looked at each other for a while, saying nothing, but then she smiled a bit and said, “Hi, I'm Truth Lynn Jason.”I smiled back at her widely, “I know who you are, Princess. And it’s so nice to finally meet you.” She doesn't know it yet but soon she'd bear my name instead.She glanced back, probably to check if her mom was coming but she wasn’t there yet. Then she gestured at me to

  • Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister    Truth I

    Mia's POV When he came back to sit down in the cabin, he tried to talk to me again, but I shut him out completely, so we didn’t talk for the rest of the flight. Which was absolutely fine with me. I needed to prepare myself to face my daughter.Soon after landing, we were sitting in the backseat of his car, Dylan was on the phone yelling at someone while I stared at my hands, trying to calm my nerves. I couldn’t believe I was able to resist him earlier. I didn’t think I would be able to. Unfortunately, my body was betraying me, and my feelings are all messed up now, too.I can't let him get to me this time. I'm only moving in with him for our daughter’s sake. This shouldn't be a chance for us to get back together. I know I'm not all that but still….Dylan doesn't deserve me. I took slow, deep breaths which seemed to help pretty well. I should have never let him get to me again even in the slightest bit. Why didn’t I try to fight him in court first? I could've won somehow.“Kira, I do
