He Doesn’t Know I Had His Child, And Now He’s My Boss CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOUR
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

DAVIS POVI arrive at Rowan & Co. late, but not too late.Everything that happened at my father’s private office is still stuck in my mind.The discussion with Marcus and Kate keeps coming back to me because this is not how I planned my life to turn out.The plan was simple. I would have someone to show as my wife when necessary, appear beside me at business meetings when required, prove that the marriage was legal, and eventually have the company to myself.Maybe I would inherit Rowan & Co. once my father was satisfied.But now it feels like everything is moving in a direction I never expected.And the worst part is that I still have no idea what my father is planning.My father has always been good at choosing his words carefully. Every time he speaks, his words sound important, but he rarely gives enough information to understand what is coming next.Whatever he is planning, I refuse to let it change the agreement between Nora and me.The contract is still the contract.I only have

NORA POVBy the time I get home from work, I’m already thinking about Mai.Her voice from yesterday keeps coming back to me.“I miss you.”I know she misses me, but hearing her say it makes me feel worse.Since I moved into Davis’s house, everything has changed so quickly. I used to know exactly where I would be after work and who I would see. Now I come home to a house that still does not feel completely like mine.I put my bag down in the sitting room and check my phone.There’s a message from Lucy.“Mom is doing well. She asked about you.”I smile a little.I type a reply, then stop when another thought comes to me.Mai.I call Lucy.She answers after a few rings.“Hi.”“I saw your message. Thank God Mom is fine now.”“Yes, I’m happy.”I let out a breath.“So am I.”There is a short silence.“Mai has been asking about you again,” Lucy says.I close my eyes.“What did you tell her?”“That you are busy with work.”I sit down.“She wants to come and see you.”“I know.”“She keeps aski
