Annabel’s POV

I slowly stood up and walked towards Daniel, his body still tensed. I could feel his fury radiating from him. Every line of his face seemed carved from tension, his jaw clenched, hands restless. My fingers itched to reach him, to soothe what I knew ran deeper than anger.

“Dan, it’s fine if you don’t want to talk about it.” My hands wandered across his back, just then I felt his muscles relax before he finally turned to me.

“Annabel, it is just hard to say.” He crossed his han

    “Oh my God!” He laughed warmly while hugging me back carefully. “You’re alive,” I whispered emotionally as my eyes burned slightly. “Thank you… thank you for everything.” I went silent, then exhaled deeply before saying. “For saving me.” His expression softened immediately. “I’m just glad you’re okay.” I pulled back slightly and smiled through the emotion filling my chest. “And I’m grateful you survived too.” James looked down briefly before sighing softly. “I’m sorry too,” he said quietly. “For breaking your trust.” My chest tightened slightly, but then I smiled softly. “We survived,” I told him gently. “That’s enough for me.” Before he could reply, movement behind him caught my attention. A beautiful woman stepped forward slowly beside him, and for a second I honestly forgot how to speak. She was stunning. Her long dark curls rested elegantly over one shoulder while her silky emerald-green dress hugged her figure perfectly before flowing softly down to th

  • Falling For My Father’s Son   Chapter 131: Peace After The Storm

    Annabel’s POV Three months. It still felt unreal sometimes. Three months since I held Daniella in my arms for the very first time. Three months since I said I do to the love of my life at the altar and watched Daniel kiss my forehead with tears in his eyes, whispering that he loved me like I was the greatest thing God had ever given him. Three months since everything that almost destroyed us finally came to an end. And somehow… life became peaceful, not actually perfect but peaceful. I stood quietly at the far corner of the grand hall, hidden slightly behind one of the tall black marble pillars as my eyes slowly moved across the room filled with people, soft lights, expensive decorations, and the sound of laughter blending beautifully with the music playing in the background. The launching event for Evergreen was bigger than I imagined it would ever be. Huge screens displayed the logo of the dating app around the hall while guests moved around excitedly, reporters sp

  • Falling For My Father’s Son   Chapter 130: Our Miracle

    Annabel’s POV I didn’t know how long I had been awake. Time felt strange… like it was moving, but not really moving, like everything around me was happening in slow motion while my heart was still trying to catch up with everything my body had gone through. The room was quiet. Too quiet, but not empty because Daniel was here.My gaze slowly drifted down to where his large hand wrapped around mine, his fingers holding onto me like I was the only thing keeping him grounded, like if he let go even for a second, I would somehow slip away from him. A small, soft smile touched my lips. My finger looked so tiny in his fist. Fragile, almost like it didn’t belong there. But he held it so tightly, like it was the most precious thing he had ever touched. My chest tightened slightly, not with pain this time, but with something warm, something deep…something I couldn’t even begin to put into words. It had been hours. I could tell from the way the light outside had shifted, from the qui

  • Falling For My Father’s Son   Chapter 129: Save The Mother

    Daniel’s POV I leaned forward slightly, pressing my palms against my face as I tried to steady myself, but it was useless, everything inside me felt like it was falling apart piece by piece and I couldn’t stop it. A sharp breath left my lips as anger burned through me, but before I could spiral any further….. “Mr. Daniel?” The voice pulled me back abruptly. I looked up to see Annabel’s doctor standing in front of me, his expression was serious, like he already knew what he was about to say wouldn’t sit well with me. My heart dropped instantly. “What is it?” I asked in a rough voice. He hesitated for a second, then held out a clipboard toward me. “I need you to sign this,” he said carefully. I frowned slightly, confusion mixing with the dread already sitting heavy in my chest. “What is that?” I asked. His eyes softened just a little with a mixture of pity. “It’s the consent form,” he explained. “We need to know if you finally made your decision on who to prioritize.” “T

  • Falling For My Father’s Son   Chapter 128: My Mother’s Betrayal

    Daniel’s POV My mouth fell open wide. So wide that for a moment, I forgot how to breathe. “But… I thought you got over it,” I said slowly, my voice cracking under the weight of disbelief as I stared at my mother like I had never truly seen her before. “I thought you forgave us.” The silence that followed was suffocating. For a moment I was waiting for someone to appear and tell me that everything happening right now is a prank, but nothing. “No… you are getting it all wrong.” Mom’s voice came out shaky, trembling with guilt and fear as she stepped forward slightly, her hands clasped tightly together like she was trying to hold herself from falling apart completely. My eyes snapped to her instantly. “What are you even talking about?” I demanded, my voice rising, edged with frustration. Mom swallowed hard, her lips trembling before she forced herself to speak. “It all started that night…” she said, her voice barely steady. “The night Annabel visited us and I showed her your

  • Falling For My Father’s Son   Chapter 127: I thought I could Stop Her

    Daniel’s POV The moment we pulled into the hospital, I knew something was wrong. It wasn’t just the flashing red and blue lights that painted the entire building in chaos, or the swarm of officers stationed at every possible entry point, or even the loud crackle of radios echoing over overlapping voices. It was the feeling. That deep, gut-twisting instinct that something had already slipped through our fingers. I barely waited for the car to come to a full stop before I shoved the door open and jumped out from the driver’s seat, my shoes hitting the ground hard as my eyes scanned the entire environment in one sweep. There were police vehicles all over the building. Armed officers stationed in different angles, barricades already being set. People being pushed back. Everything looked controlled… but it didn’t feel controlled. It felt like they were too late. Then I pushed forward, my stride fast and urgent, cutting through the officers until I spotted the Inspector General.
