[Rue’s POV]

Before I can even process what is happening, Mr. Owens is moving, grabbing the guy holding my wrist by the collar and then swinging so his fist connects with the guy's face again.

“Tell me,” he growls, landing another blow. “What exactly did you plan on doing to her?”

“I…” the man gasps. “I was…”

He doesn’t get to finish his words before Mr. Owens hits him again and again, and when I’m certain that the guy is unconscious, I wrap my arms around his to stop him from landing another bl

  • Daddy's Pet.   Be His Strength

    [Gianna’s POV]For the rest of the evening, Grant and I use our bodies to talk. He clings to me like I’m his lifeline, and I do everything I can to let him know that I’m here and that he isn’t alone.When I asked him about his family, I didn’t expect it to be that painful and complicated, but I guess, I should have known better.There was a reason that Anthony wasn’t the CEO of AandD Industries. There was a reason that he was allowed to marry my mother despite her not having anything beneficial. There was a reason that Grant had to go overseas and there was a reason that his father didn’t have a wife, but had two sons.All the signs were there that his life wasn’t sunshine and roses, but then again, I didn’t expect things like that for those born into power. I watched enough dramas and saw enough on the news to know that there would always be a power struggle and those who held the power would have to be on their toes.I want to be his safe space. I think as Grant shifts our position

  • Daddy's Pet.   His Mother

    [Grant’s POV]I shift my gaze to Gianna to find that her large gaze is on me. She’s taking me in expectantly and I know that this is her way of telling me that you can let out everything that you’ve been holding close to your heart.But where to begin?Did I start with my birth, my childhood? Do I tell her the good things and then move into the bad thing? Or did I just tell her about when I came to live with Anthony and my father?Honestly, I didn’t care to relive that time because it was the worst years for me. I was trapped, lonely, and mourning during that time, but if I wanted to try to shift my relationship with Gianna, then it would be best that I told her the whole story.“I didn’t always live with my father.” I begin, deciding to start from the beginning. “My mother wasn’t his wife. She was a woman that he was sneaking around with and when she became pregnant with me, the only thing he was willing to do was support her while she carried me and after my birth.”“It was supposed

  • Daddy's Pet.   Show Interest

    [Grant’s POV]I stare at my father as he watches me, his gaze darkening from the anger he is working to hold back, but even then, I don’t back down.For years, I was an obedient son. I did what was expected of me. I tried my damndest to get this mans approval, until I learned the truth.He wasn’t a man that would ever accept anyone unless they would do what it was that he wanted.Even now, that was exactly what he was doing with Rachel. He was using her as a pawn to try to get me beneath his thumb, but that wasn’t going to work.I would be damned if I ended up there or like any of the others that he managed to win over.“Grant,” the man in question says slowly. “How could you say such a thing about her? Do you know how that makes her look?”“Do you know how having her follow you around all the time makes her look?” I challenge. “Do you really think people aren’t talking?”I didn’t miss the murmurs in the crowd. I didn’t miss the stares and the looks of amusement because everyone was c

  • Daddy's Pet.   Assert Her Dominance

    [Gianna’s POV]I watch Grant as he steps into his grandfather’s room and when he turns to give me a look of reassurance, I simply nod.Go on, I think, watching him. Go and see him.It is clear that he is worried. The way that he is acting is plenty enough proof of that, and I could only hope that things weren’t too bad and that whatever ailment he was dealing with would be cured soon.Once Grant disappears, I turn my gaze to the two who stand silently beside me and realize that I was now alone with my enemy.Dammit. I think as Rachel’s gaze slowly trails down my body, clearly sizing me up. Maybe I should have tried to go with Grant, but since I didn’t, I would have to play nice for now.“Rachel, was it?” I ask, deciding to break the silence first. “It’s good to see you again.”“Is it?” She asks, making it clear she has no intention of playing nice. “I’m afraid I can’t say the same…what was your name again?”“Gianna,” I smile. “My name is Gianna.”“Gianna,” she repeats, crossing her ar

  • Daddy's Pet.   Protect Him

    [Grant’s POV]“Don’t be ridiculous,” grandfather huffs. “This is nothing that a bit of rest won’t cure.”Frowning, I take in the man in front of me as I try to keep my composure. I was more than aware that his stubbornness knew no bounds, how could I not? I inherited it myself.“Then let me call…”“I’ve already been examined by Rachel.” he snaps. “You know that she went to school to become a doctor and has even opened her own practice.”“Even then, I would like someone unrelated to examine you.”I don’t know why, but I don’t trust those who hover around grandfather, not when he was the thing standing between the family's inheritance and the position of CEO.There were more than a few people who would want him out of the way so that they can get their hands on power and my father, the man who was closest to him, was one of them.“I’ll call Noel,” I offer. “She will certainly come rushing home to examine and take care of you.”“Don’t bother her,” grandfather sighs. “She is too busy with

  • Daddy's Pet.   Disappoint Him

    [Grant’s POV]My father’s voice echoes behind me as I move toward the large mansion in front of me and when we reach the front door, I shove it open.Once inside, I move straight to the large staircase in the middle of the front alcove while Gianna silently lets me lead her along.When we reach the stairs, we carefully take them one at a time and when we reach the second floor where the sleeping quarters are, I head to my grandfather’s room. However, as we reach, I suddenly stop moving and I’m left staring at the door in front of me.“Grant,” Gianna murmurs as I just stand there staring. “Aren’t you going to go in?”As she speaks, she gently grabs my hand that rests on her hip and she moves it, placing it at my side, making it clear that she feels it would be best that I go in alone.“It’s fine,” she tells me as I shift my gaze to hers. “I’m certain that he wants to see you.”“Maybe,” I chuckle. “But he isn’t exactly happy with me right now.”I was certain that father told him about m

  • Daddy's Pet.   Draw A Line

    [Rue’s POV]I stare at Leo, taking in the satisfaction that appears in his dark eyes over me simply calling him by his name.Who knew that something that simple could make someone so happy when the world around them was still crashing and burning? I most certainly didn’t, but if I could bring him a

  • Daddy's Pet.   Be Her Comfort

    [Leo’s POV]I watch silently as Rue quickly escapes the chaotic scene that is taking place. The urge to go after her hits me, but I stay in place.“Look what you did." Mykel grumbles, drawing my attention back to where he sits. “You chased her away.”“Me?” I huff, letting my gaze travel over him. “

  • Daddy's Pet.   A Drunken Idiot

    [Rue’s POV]I stare at Mr. Owens as he stares at me, determination flashing in those dark eyes of his.He’s showing me that he means what he is saying and that nothing I do or say is going to change what he has just promised me.Why?Why was he insisting on staying beside me now that there was no r

  • Daddy's Pet.   A Comfort

    [Rue’s POV]To my surprise, Mykel and I actually seem to meet quite often once we both return to school. Whether it is in the cafeteria, on the quad, or in class, we seem to pass each other, and because of that, we decided to not be strangers.Honestly, when I got rejected by Mr. Owens and decided
