He Doesn’t Know I Had His Child, And Now He’s My Boss CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX
DAVIS POVIt’s Monday morning at Rowan & Co., a few days after the family gathering.I’m back at my desk, dealing with the work that has been waiting for me.There are already several reports in my inbox. I open my computer and start going through them, signing documents and reviewing project proposals.My mind briefly returns to the family gathering.The way my family treated Nora made it clear they already saw her as part of the Rowan family.Then there were my father’s words before we left.The coming months will require my attention.I still don’t know exactly what he meant by that.Thinking about it won’t give me an answer, so I push the thought aside and focus on work.I’m still going through a report when I hear a knock on my door.“Come in.”The door opens, and Nora walks in with a file in her hand.I feel something shift inside me when I see her. Not because I haven’t seen her today. I saw her before we both left for work.I don’t know what the feeling means, so I ignore it.

NORA POVI stand in front of the mirror in my room, fixing my hair and smoothing down my dress as I prepare for Davis’s family gathering.This is different from the board meeting.At the board meeting, I was there because I needed to be presented publicly as Davis’s wife. It was about the company and making our marriage official in front of people who needed to know.Tonight is different.I’m entering his family environment.I take one last look at myself before picking up my bag. No matter how much his family pushes us into their world, the contract hasn’t changed. We still have rules, and I intend to follow them.I only need to get through tonight, behave appropriately, and leave.I walk downstairs and wait in the sitting room.A few minutes later, I hear Davis coming down the stairs.He walks into the room and looks at me.“Are you ready?”I adjust the strap of my bag on my shoulder.“Yes, I’m ready.”His eyes stay on me for a moment before he speaks.“Remember, you don’t have to a

DAVIS POVIt’s Thursday morning, and I’m already sitting in the executive conference room at Rowan & Co.Nora is sitting right beside me.My mind goes back to the meetings I used to attend without anyone beside me. I never thought having someone sitting next to me would make a familiar room feel different.The board already knows about the marriage, but the people we are meeting today are different.They aren’t here simply to congratulate us or discuss company performance like the board did.They are people my father deliberately brought into this process.A few minutes later, Marcus Hale and Kate Bennett enter the room.I stand to greet Marcus, and Nora stands beside me.After we exchange greetings, we sit back down.Marcus and Kate take their seats near the head of the table.Almost immediately, two senior company and family representatives enter.They are both dressed in black suits.They already know who Nora is because of the public announcement.We exchange brief greetings befor

NORA POVA few days have passed since Mai’s visit.I’m in the kitchen preparing my coffee before going to work when my mind goes back to her.I keep remembering the way we talked and played, and the beautiful smile on her face while she was here.After seeing my daughter in this house and watching Davis interact with her, I can’t pretend that my two worlds can remain completely separate forever.I hear Davis coming downstairs.It still feels strange sometimes.Before we got married, most of our interactions were about work and the arrangement between us. Now, we have started getting used to the small routines that come with living in the same house.I know when he usually leaves early for an important meeting, and he knows I like to make coffee before I leave for work.Nothing about it feels romantic.It is simply becoming normal to see him in the morning and hear him moving around the house.Davis walks into the dining area and looks at me.“Ready for work?”“Almost,” I answer.“Okay

NORA POVFor a second, everything inside me twists.I try not to let Davis notice the tension or fear in me.“Sometimes,” I answer carefully.Davis looks at Mai again before asking, “But she doesn’t know her father is dead?”The words immediately hit me.Mai is right there, watching and listening.My heart starts beating faster, and I have to force myself to stay calm.For a second, I forget that I’m the only one who knows the truth behind that answer. I told Davis that Mai’s father was dead because I needed to protect his reputation and prevent the truth from becoming a scandal that could affect him. I also wanted to protect Mai from a situation that could affect her future and make sure I had the money to pay for my mother’s medical treatment.“No. She doesn’t know,” I answer.Davis’s expression changes slightly as he places his phone on his lap.“You never told her?”“I haven’t.”He adjusts his position on the couch.“How old was she when he died?”I force myself to take a slow bre

NORA POVIt’s Saturday morning, and I have finally decided to let Mai come and visit me.It’s eleven in the morning, and I’m already sitting on the couch in the sitting room, waiting for Lucy to call me.We agreed that she would bring Mai to the nearest bus stop, and I would go there to pick her up.A few minutes later, my phone vibrates.I quickly check the screen.“We’re here now. You can come.”I stand up immediately, even before I finish reading the message.I rush out of the house and walk down the street. A few steps away, I see Lucy and Mai standing together, waiting for me.A smile spreads across my face.I’m still a few steps away when I call her.“Mai.”She turns instantly and, the moment she sees me, starts running toward me.I run too.When we meet, she wraps both arms around my legs.“Mommy!”I bend down and pull her into my arms.“My love.”I lift her up and hold her against me, looking straight into her eyes before bringing her forehead to mine.“Mai, I’m sorry.”She wr
