Daniel’s POV

After we had settled in, the air became heavier, leaving us all in a long silence. But Cassian broke it, trying to cheer up the room.

James had never stopped grinning since my breakout, like he already knew that would be my reaction. He was damn ready for anything I was going to bring up.

They kept discussing, making fun of our old-time memories, but I never showed any interest. I just picked up my tablet and began to surf the internet, searching for things to keep me busy.

We stayed in the room until dinner, and that was when our investors started trooping in. As the hosts that we were, we stood up, welcoming them one after the other and gesturing them to their seats.

After a few moments, I decided to message Annabel.

Daniel: Hey, the investors are here. Hope you are ready. Diho will come to pick you up.

Her message came in immediately, like she’d been waiting to hear from me.

Annabel: Yes, Mr. Stroke.

I read her message like she was actually close to me

  • Falling For My Father’s Son   Chapter 63: Keeping The Truth Hidden

    Annabel’s POV I slipped into a quiter end of the corridor, my heels clicking faintly against the marble floor, all I needed was space. Daniel’s attitude is already choking me, and I don’t think I can bear this anymore. I’m just going to find a way to tell him the truth tonight after the party. No more secrets. I can’t be playing the villain here and allow Stephanie to take control of what is mine. Going to the restroom was meaningless to me, because the stain on my dress was the least of my problems at this moment. So I decided to leave the event. My thumb slammed the elevator button for the ground floor, and when the metallic doors slid open, the last person I ever expected to see was standing there. My father. My breath hitched, and my eyes flew wide open. “Dad…!” He looked stunned too to see me here. With a quick step, he came out of the elevator. His eyes swept over me as he kept turning me around, like a mother inspecting her child. “Annie, you look sick.” Hi

  • Falling For My Father’s Son   Chapter 62: Owned By His Gaze

    Annabel’s POV Unlike every other normal party, today was the company’s seventh year anniversary, and we were all expected to be at the five-star hotel for the celebration. When I got there, everywhere seemed busy. People talking among themselves, laughing happily, clearly enjoying the evening. And there was me, all alone. No partner, no friends to talk with. Just here like a piece of object, hiding my presence. I grabbed a glass of white wine from the tray the waiter was lifting just above her shoulders. “Thanks,” I murmured with a slight bow. My gaze swept the room once more as I continued to sip my drink, leaning on a counter nearby. “Annabel,” a voice called from behind. I turned around to meet Lucian. Thank goodness. “Hey, Lucian,” I called out slowly, feeling embarrassed to raise my head. Lucian leaned closer, just enough for me to catch his words beneath the thundering music. “Annie, it’s been a while,” he whispered. I turned to face him, my voice crack

  • Falling For My Father’s Son   Chapter 61: Our Contract Still Stands

    Annabel’s POV There is only one thing on my mind today. Find Lucian, make a proper apology, and then head to Daniel’s office to cut every tie between us. I have not been in my right senses since Stephanie sent me those images of her totally naked on Daniel’s bed, with him snoring peacefully, his arms wrapped around her so comfortably, without thinking of how it would make me feel. How could he give up on us that easily? Since I did not find Lucian in his office, I decided to go face Daniel first. My steps slowed as I drew closer to his office, every vein in my body pulsing with unease. Even though I still love him, I can’t control how I feel knowing he spent the night with Stephanie. Did he actually sleep with her? Was it to get back at me? I stopped at his door, hands trembling on the knob before giving it a slow knock, while glancing at the envelope I was holding. Boldly written; Resignation Letter. His voice came out low, gesturing for me to come inside. He

  • Falling For My Father’s Son   Chapter 60: Trying to get back at her

    Daniel’s POV Stephanie’s arm wrapped around my waist, guiding me into the house like a toddler still learning how to take his first step. Once we had entered my room, she released me, letting me fall onto the soft bed. My eyes were still wide open, even with the alcohol, I could still think clearly. She flung her purse, letting it land on the couch. “Daniel…” she whispered, dragging the tips of her acrylic nails along my jawline. By now, I should be feeling something. I mean, all the way from the club she had been touchy, but my body still remained still. Nothing stirred in me. Just emotionless. Dead inside, while I fixed my gaze on her, watching her perform like I was in a cinema room. “Do you want me to touch you like this…?” She drew a lazy circle on my chest, leaning closer as she made sure we were skin-to-skin. I felt uncomfortable from her touch and jerked upright, sitting. Her face etched with confusion. “Daniel, what is it?” She made another attempt, dragging her ha

  • Falling For My Father’s Son   Chapter 59: Finding Distraction

    Daniel’s POV I sat at the VIP lounge, drowning in the loud music and emptying bottles of alcohol, drenched in the heat from the fury of everything. My head was still fighting to process everything. No matter how I tried to place it, none of this made sense to me. Because how could she use me that easily, and I never saw it coming? The number one bachelor in town being played that easily. “Fuck.” I dragged my hand down my face, holding the whisky glass so tight that one could think I might smash it anytime soon. I lifted my head, surveying the room as if marking my prey. I just needed someone who would make me forget that I ever had a feeling for her. At this point, I didn’t care who it might be. My gaze fixed on the stage, watching women who were barely covered, just pants that clung to their ass with nothing on their chests, swaying their bodies as if they were in a competition with snakes. By now their performance should have been moving me, but I still felt nothing. Watch

  • Falling For My Father’s Son   Chapter 58: My Perfectly Crafted Dream Is About To Fold Again

    Annabel’s POV I watched Daniel vanish without looking back. I could still feel his fury. Everything about the man who just walked away from here was different. Not just from seeing me entangled in Lucian’s hold, but from the pain of the betrayal. His voice still lingers in my head. His deep voice, accompanied with a hot temper I had never seen in him before. The rage in his eyes when he said, “You made me tell you everything about my fear of being with a woman, only for you to break the trust I had in you?” God. I have felt heartbreak before, but this one felt different. If only he could understand. I just need more time to figure this out. I need the best way to open up to him. I can’t risk him knowing my real identity until I’m sure how he will handle finding out that we are now siblings. You can call me selfish or not, but I would rather lose the relationship I have with my father than the one I have with Daniel at this point, even though it will hurt me deeply. I curled
