Annabel’s POV

“Annie.”

I turned to meet Fiona’s gaze. Her smile stretched wide.

A chill ran down my spine.

What could she be doing here?

Does she know yet?

I stood frozen until she approached me, still grinning. “Annie, you never told me you know my son’s workplace.”

Fear slithered through my veins. “Um… Fiona, good to see you again.”

She narrowed her gaze at me. “Annie, you don't look okay. You are fidgeting.”

A shiver ran through my hand, I hadn’t even realized it was quivering. “I’m fine, just didn’t expect to see you here.”

She gave me a gentle shove with a mischievous grin. “Come off it, Annabel my son owns this place.”

“Really?” pretending to have no idea.

With a sly smile, she tilted her head slightly. “I thought you two have been catching up. Daniel told me you two met.”

Wait, did I hear her well?

Does Daniel know?

Clearing my throat, I said, “Yes, yes, we have.” I lied through my teeth.

With a teasing gesture, she brushed against me. “So, tell m

  • 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

  • Falling For My Father’s Son   Chapter 57: Drowning In Betrayal

    Daniel’s POV My anger coiled inside me, hot and dangerous, begging to break free. “So this is why you have refused to pick up my calls? To sneak around and fuck with your little boyfriend?” My voice came out low and tight, every word clipped with venom. To make everything worse, Annabel sat on the bed, arms crossed, her breath heaving and mouth pouting. No remorse. And Lucian? He drifted to the edge of the bed, his face buried in shame. “Annabel!” She flinched. “What the fuck were you thinking, huh?” I moved to her with every ounce in me, gripped her so tight, and stood her up. I felt my blood pressure rising instantly, like every need to hit her was developing in me, but I couldn’t bring myself to do that. It would only make me the villain, and I’m not the type of man who hits a woman. “All this while you’ve been pretending to love me? What is he giving you that I can’t afford?” I roared, voice cracking with rage. For heaven’s sake, she did not make the situation any bette

    Annabel’s POV I know Stephanie too well. That was not just an empty threat. She meant every single word, and if I don’t act fast, it might not end well. The whole night felt unusually hot, with thousands of ideas running through my head and Daniel trying everything possible to cheer me up, even without knowing my reason for being cold. The next day, the weekend was over, and it was time to go back to New York. We were supposed to be returning as lovers, planning how to make our big day colorful. But no. I don’t know about Daniel, but for me, I had another plan. Once we got to New York and I pleaded with Daniel to let me go straight to my apartment, my mission to break up with him started. Very crazy, right? Yesterday, I was confessing my love to him, and today I’m about to do the craziest thing to make him mad. I pulled out my phone and dialed Lucian. As always, he answered on the very first ring. “Annabel, are you good?” His voice came out low but with concern. “Uhm…yes,

  • Falling For My Father’s Son   Chapter 55: How Did She Find Out My Secret

    Annabel’s POV My legs carried me without knowing where they were leading. I just wanted to be away from this madness, away from anything that could drag me into a social scandal. One moment life was beginning to make sense, and the next, James showed up acting like he owned my life. I ran until I was out of the building, inhaling the fresh air as though it could wash away anything that reminded me of James. Stretching my back while I kept pacing around, until a voice called from behind. “Annabel.” A familiar voice, one I wished never to hear on this trip. I turned and met Stephanie. “What the hell?” Her smile carried the weight of something dangerous. There was something different about her confidence. Stephanie stood right in front of me, hands entwined as her eyes roamed over me, studying every inch of my body. “You must be enjoying the little attention Daniel has been giving you.” My throat burned. “Steph…Stephanie, how did you get to Miami?” She laughed a
