His To Own: Daddy's Secret Desires. Chapter 69
SARAYA'S POV."Mom, don't tell me, he is sleeping already?" I asked the moment Mary walked in."Trust me, he is snoring as we speak." She replied. "The flight must have taken it toll on him."I nodded. "You're right."I took a sip of my juice, letting the coolness calm my nerves. My phone buzzed on the table, and I glanced down at the screen. Dominic’s name flashed, and I recalled I had almost forgotten about him.Dominic: Looking forward to tomorrow. Hope your family won’t mind me tagging along.After a quick exchange of messages, I looked up at Mary.“Is it okay if a friend of mine joins us for the funeral tomorrow?” I asked.Mary raised her eyebrows. “Your friend is coming?”“Yeah,” I said. “If it’s a problem, I could just cancel, you know?”She let out a soft laugh. “And that would be rude. Besides, why would it be a problem? I’m not going to pass up the chance to meet your friend. It’s about time, honestly.”“What’s that supposed to mean?” I asked, feigning ignorance.“It means,”

ARLAN'S POV.I stood by the car, glancing at my watch while waiting for Matilda."Where was she?" The longer I waited, the more I questioned my actions. When Matilda finally appeared, I almost didn’t recognize her.She walked toward me, swinging her hips in her black gown hugging her curves, the fabric almost too much for the occasion. Her makeup was little too much if I'm being honest, it made her look like she was ready for a runway."Arlan," she said with a smirk, "Am I that good-looking you're drooling?"I blinked, snapping out of my trance. “You look… stunning, Matilda. But—""But?" She stopped in front of me, one hand on her hip.“I mean, the dress is a bit... revealing. It's a funeral, not a fashion show.” I reminded trying to be subtle so I don't come off as being judgemental.She laughed, twirling a lock of hair around her finger. “Don’t forget, I’m a designer. Fashion’s my thing.”“I know, but—”“Relax,” she interrupted, stepping closer. “This is the same edition Saraya wore

ALEX'S POV.The funeral had dragged on longer than I expected. Guests kept coming in, offering their condolences, and it felt like we’d never get a break.But by evening, things finally started to quiet down.Mary, Matilda, and I were talking, the conversation light for the first time all day. Just as I was starting to relax, the door opened. Saraya walked in, Dominic beside her."I'll like to talk my leave now." Dominic announced, standing few inches away from us.He turned to Mary, offering his condolences once more. “I’m really sorry for your loss.”Mary smiled softly. “Thank you, Dominic. It means a lot.”Dominic hugged her gently. “Take care of yourself,” he said before stepping back.He gave me a nod. “See you around, sir.”I nodded. "See you around, my boy."“Take your time, Saraya,” I called after her, my voice steady. She looked back at me, flashing that familiar smile, then disappeared through the door with Dominic.I watched him leave, then glanced at Mary. “You know, I thi

SARAYA'S POV.Saraya shut the door to her room and leaned against it, her heart thudding in her chest. The scene played over and over in her mind. Mary’s face, that quick flash of anger when she hugged Evan it couldn’t have been her imagination. And Evan...She sat on her bed, rubbing her temples. “What was that about?” she muttered under her breath.Grabbing her phone, she hesitated before texting Evan. Hey, are you okay?A minute passed, then two, but no reply. Saraya dropped her phone on the bed with a frustrated sigh.“Why would Mary look at me like that? And Evan... holding my hand like he didn’t want me to leave?” she whispered to herself, trying to piece it together.Her mind raced with questions, but one thing was certain—something was off.The buzz from her phone interrupted her thoughts. She glanced at the screen—Arlan.Saraya frowned. “What does he want now?” she muttered, letting the call ring out. She wasn’t in the mood to deal with him.The phone buzzed again, and Saraya

DOMINIC'S POV.I told the taxi driver to drop me a few blocks away. "Just here is fine," I muttered, not wanting to be seen. I pulled my hood up, trying to blend in.As I moved closer, I spotted Arlan standing near Saraya’s window. What the hell is he doing out here so late? I thought.Then, Saraya opened the window, her phone pressed to her ear. I froze. She was talking to someone, but I could tell something was off. The she looked at him made my heart sank.And then, she disappeared from the window only to reappear at the door. Arlan stepped closer. Before I knew it, they were hugging. My eyes locked on them, unable to look away. No. No way...I saw it. I saw the kiss. The long, lingering kiss. I bought out my phone and started recording.My heart slammed against my chest, and I couldn’t move. I kept filming them, though. Just... couldn’t stop.Once they'd disappeared from my sight, I let out a sharp breath, stomping my foot against the ground. "What the hell...?"I shook my head, m

ALEX'S POV.We had just wrapped up an afternoon at the bowling alley, and I couldn’t help but smile as Saraya celebrated her latest victory with an exaggerated fist pump. Evan groaned dramatically, slumping into a chair."She cheated," he muttered, glaring at the scoreboard."How exactly does someone cheat at bowling?" Mary asked, raising an eyebrow as she set her shoes on the counter."Maybe she bribed the pins," I said, grinning as Saraya stuck out her tongue at all of us.We gathered our things and made our way out to the car. On the drive back, the kids bickered in the backseat about who deserved to win while Mary shook her head, trying to hide her amusement.Soon we arrived, I cleared my throat to get their attention. "Alright, listen up, everyone."They stopped mid-conversation and looked at me, waiting."We’re heading to Sydney tomorrow," I announced."Wait, what?" Saraya asked, sitting up straight. "Tomorrow."I nodded. "Christmas is a few days away, and it’s tradition to spen

DOMINIC'S POV.The garden was supposed to be my escape, but even the quiet couldn’t silence the chaos in my head. The whiskey burned as it slid down my throat, but it wasn’t strong enough to dull the ache.“Dominic.” My mother’s voice was gentle, but it still grated against my nerves. I didn’t turn to look at her.“What is it?” I muttered, my eyes fixed on the glass in my hand.“You’ve been out here for hours,” she said, her steps crunching softly on the gravel as she came closer. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing.”She sighed. “Don’t do this. Don’t shut me out. I’ve seen the change in you since you got back. What happened on your trip?”I clenched my jaw, gripping the glass tighter. “I said it’s nothing. Just leave it alone.”“Dominic—”“God, just drop it, okay?” I snapped, raising my voice.The silence that followed was heavy, suffocating. I didn’t have to look to know she was staring at me, hurt and confused.“Dominic, what has gotten into you?” she asked quietly.“What’s going on here?” My

SARAYA'S POV.I felt hand on my shoulder and opened my eyes."Mom?" I rubbed my eyes gently, looking around me. It was getting dark. "Oh, I slept off.""You should freshen up and join us for dinner, we have a full house and it's our dinner together since your grandmother's birthday."Mary stared deeply into my eyes, sending cold shivers down my spine. “So,” she began gently, “have you and Arlan officially called it off?”I sighed and nodded. “Yeah, it’s over.”Her face softened with sympathy. “I’m sorry, sweetheart. I know it’s been tough for you.” She paused, then added, “You know what? I’ll make sure Arlan doesn’t come for Christmas this year. I don’t want you feeling uncomfortable.”I managed a small smile, grateful for her understanding. “Thanks, Mom. That means a lot.”She stood up, smoothing her dress. “Alright, I’ll leave you to freshen up. Let me know if yiu need help with anything, okay?”“Okay. Thanks, Mom,” I said softly, watching her leave the room.As soon as I was alone

MARY'S POV.I dialed Dominic’s number again, drumming my fingers against the desk. This time, he picked up."Oh, see who finally decides to put on his phone." I said sarcastically."What is it this time?" He asked me impatiently. "Can we get this done with as soon as possible? I'm so exhausted."“How was your meeting with Ian?” I asked, keeping my tone light.He sighed. “You need to stop prying into my business, Mary.”My lips curled into a smile. “Oh, really? So you’re finally growing a spine?” I laughed softly, savoring the tension. “You think I don’t know what you're trying to do? You have no idea how deep you’re in. You really want to betray me, knowing I’ve got you cornered?”“I’m just trying to survive, alright?” he shot back. “And I’m done being your puppet.”I could hear the anger in his voice, and it only made me more curious. "I figured that out already. But hey, You should think about your parents.""Take their names off your filthy mouth."Ignoring his rants, "I’m willing
His To Own: Daddy's Secret Desires. Chapter 140
IAN’S POVI stormed into my office, slamming the door shut behind me. My head was pounding, my heart racing. The meeting had been a disaster. The way they all looked at me—doubtful, disappointed, like I was already a sinking ship.Her voice echoed in my mind. "If you're unable to provide a satisfactory answer, be ready to resign."I let out a bitter laugh, running a hand through my hair. Resign? After everything I've done? She wanted me gone, wanted to strip me of everything, and the worst part? The board was actually considering it."I swear, I will kill you, Mary." I vowed. "I'll make you wish you didn't challenge me in the first place."I grabbed my smashed phone from the desk, my hands trembling with rage. I had to get control back. I had to move fast. I ripped the SIM card out, shoved it into another phone, and scrolled through my contacts until I found the name I needed... Dominic.He picked up on the third ring. "Where are you?""Ian?" His voice was cautious. "We are not meetin

MARY'S POV.The meeting had gone on for what felt like an eternity. Every passing second just added to the growing frustration and tension in the room but I was enjoying each moment.I could feel the eyes of the board members on Ian as they exchanged disapproving glances. Ian was in trouble and he knew it. He was losing their support and has no major shareholder backing him up. He looked like a small fish in an ocean, looking lost and confused."Ian, this is unacceptable," one of the directors finally spoke up. "Underperforming across the board, and now the product leak? This is a disaster."Ian shifted uncomfortably in his seat, a nervous twitch in his jaw. "I... I understand," he stammered, "and I promise I’ll handle it. I’ll give everyone an explanation, just give me time. I've got the legal team on this already."He met my gaze then, instead, I rolled my eyes, just enough for him to catch it.I wasn’t about to let him squirm his way out of this one. "If I may," I said, cutting thr
His To Own: Daddy's Secret Desires. Chapter 138
IAN'S POVI stared at my phone, tapping my fingers against the table. No response from Arlan. Not even a single word or message. It was past noon, and I was expecting to have heard some news or reactions by now."Maybe I shouldn’t have sent them to him, Maybe it was bad idea after all." I said looking worried. "That weakling." I cussed. "I thought he was all crazy about Saraya."Then again, there is Dominic who had reached out to me earlier. "I guess that is enough to bring down Mary seeing how he made effort to reach out. He must have something to offer but then I can't trust that cunning son of a bitch." I said to myself.Peter rushed in, looking troubled. From his facial expression, I could tell all is not well."Don't tell me you bought another bad news to fuel my bad mood?" I asked.Peter shivered. "I'm sorry but I think you should know that the wellington just released some products similar to what we intend launching next week." He revealed.I laughed hysterically. "Are you out

ARLAN'S POV."You haven't had anything since morning, have something to drink sir." Bridget stretched a bottle of water towards me.I took it from her and wrapped my hands tightly around the bottle. "Thank you." I muttered."She will be fine." She said.There was something optimistic about Bridget words that torn my heart, maybe it from knowing Matilda wouldn't be fine not after my decision or my conscience pricking me.I felt uncomfortable. "You should go back," I suggested. "I don't know how long I will be staying here for, I shouldn't keep you here.""I know you want to be left alone but I'm sorry I can't do as you've asked right now. I think you need someone beside you. There is nothing much to do at home, so I would just sit over there." She said pointing to a seat at a corner. "You can just pretend I'm not here.""Thank you." I muttered as another round of tears rolled down my cheeks.Bridget walked away and took her seat but not without turning her back against me. She must hav

ALEX'S POV."Are the documents ready?" I asked Arlan the moment he stepped in."Yes, here they are." He replied before pulling them out from his briefcase.I carefully went through them one after the other, satisfied. I nodded. "Great job, Arlan.""Don't mention."I sighed. "All that is left is to sign the transfer paperwork to another hospital and serve her a copy then I can tell Saraya everything about Mary and Dominic.""You're still recovering and the transfer is going to take some days, are you sure you will be able to sulk it in with Mary visiting you everyday?" Arlan asked."I have no choice though I won't deny how much I'm holding back not to wriggle her neck from her body. Especially when he touches me, I feel like exploding." I confessed.Arlan sighed, taking a seat across from me. “I must admit, we are playing a dangerous game, Alex. One misstep and this could blow off to our faces.”I scoffed. “I’m done playing games.” My fingers tapped impatiently against the documents. “

DOMINIC'S POVI settled into my seat, buckling the belt as the plane began boarding. People shuffled past, stowing their bags, murmuring to each other, but I wasn’t really paying attention.All I could think about was Saraya.More specifically, the way she looked when she told me what I’d done.'You tried to kiss me.' Her words echoed in my head.I rubbed a hand down my face. "Damn it."I didn’t even remember doing it, but the second she said it, I could feel it. Like my body had stored the memory my brain refused to hold onto.I could picture it too easily. Her lips inches from mine. That brief moment of hesitation. The way her breath might’ve hitched and the disgust on her face enough to have avoided my kiss.I shook my head. "Stop." I cautioned myself.I exhaled, staring at the seat in front of me. It didn’t happen. It didn’t matter how it would’ve felt. It didn’t matter what might have happened if I hadn’t been drunk out of my mind.I leaned my head back, closing my eyes for a seco

SARAYA'S POV.I pulled up to the hotel just as Dominic stepped out of the lobby, rolling his suitcase behind him. He looked awfully pale, tired, and was moving slower than usual.He barely glanced at me before turning to the receptionist. “Yeah, that’s the card. Just email me the receipt.”The woman behind the desk nodded. “Safe travels, Mr. Leo.”Dominic muttered a thanks, grabbed his receipt and walked over to my car. He tossed his bag into the backseat and shut it with more force than necessary.“Morning,” I said, watching him closely.“Morning,” he replied, rubbing his temples.I raised an eyebrow. “You okay?”“Fine. Just—” He let out a heavy breath. “Probably had one too many drinks last night.”That explained the way he looked like he wanted to curl up and throw up. I didn’t say anything, just got in the car and pulled out of the parking lot.A few minutes later, I turned into a pharmacy lot.Dominic frowned. “What are we doing here?”I didn’t answer, I hopped out, went inside,

DOMINIC'S POVI was standing outside, adjusting the cuff of my vintage shirt when Saraya pulled up and parked. She stepped out of the car, looking effortlessly beautiful in her black short gown and I couldn’t help but smile.“I should be the one picking you up,” I said as she approached me.She grinned. “Remember, it’s my treat.”I shook my head. “Still, that doesn’t mean you have to drive.”“Well, I did.” She shrugged.We both laughed, and I pulled her into a hug. She smelled nice but I didn’t let myself linger too long so she doesn't get uncomfortable. When we pulled apart, I took a step back and gave her an approving look.I chuckled and held out my hand. “Keys.”She raised a brow. “Excuse me?”“You’ve been at work all day. Let me drive.”She hesitated for a second before dropping the keys into my palm. “Fine. But only because I’m too tired to argue.”I took the keys from Saraya and got into the driver’s seat while she settled beside me.“I’ll take what I can get,” I said, opening t
