His To Own CHAPTER 45: A New Plan
ANYA'S POVI had just finished wiping down the last counter, the sharp-sweet scent of the new candles drifting through the air. The weekend couldn’t come soon enough. Since Liam’s death, I’d told Rose to take a break, so the house had been entirely in my hands, every surface polished, every dish prepared, every corner waiting for Tara’s arrival.She’d called me yesterday, saying she would be flying in from Boston early in the morning and would be staying over for two days before leaving. And I’d gone all out, carefully preparing her favorite dishes, pouring my heart into each one and silently praying she’d love them. But little worries eat at me. Would Tara like the flowers I’d picked up this morning? Was the living room arranged just right, or should I move the long white couch closer to the floor-to-ceiling window so she could enjoy the view of the flower beds outside? And what about the candles—would the vanilla and jasmine scent feel welcoming, or overwhelming?The doorbell rang,
His To Own CHAPTER 44: Old Friends
ANYA’S POVThe smell of frying eggs filled the kitchen, mixing with the soft crackle of the pan. I shuffled around the counter in my slippers, flipping bread in the toaster while muttering every insult I could think of under my breath.Kane was still upstairs, probably taking his sweet time in the shower like he owned the place.I still couldn’t believe I was making him breakfast. After I took care of him, let him sleep in my bed, use my bathroom… and now this ungrateful man? The nerve.I stabbed at the eggs a little harder than necessary, the spatula scraping against the pan.“Idiot,” I mumbled. “Arrogant, overconfident, shirtless disaster.”The coffee machine beeped, steam curling into the air. I poured two mugs, setting them on the table beside plates of eggs and toast. I stared at the coffee, fighting the urge to ‘accidentally’ spit in his — or maybe just splash a little on his lap when he comes. Nothing serious.The thought made me smirk.But no. I was a civilized woman. I could
His To Own CHAPTER 43: Dresses
KANE’S POVI woke up to sunlight spilling through the curtains, the kind of warm, golden light that makes you want to stay in bed just a little longer. My head felt clearer, the heaviness from yesterday almost gone.For a moment, I stared at the ceiling before turning my gaze around the room. Their room. Hers and Liam’s. Or should I say Anya’s room now.I’ll be honest — I was surprised she’d let me sleep here. I thought she’d dump me on the couch without a second thought. The bed and the whole room smelled like her — soft, warm, familiar. I’d sound like a creep if I said it out loud, but this was the best sleep I’d had in months. The thought pulled a small smile to my lips.Swinging my legs over the edge, I stretched my neck and made my way downstairs.That’s when I saw her.Anya was curled up on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, her breathing slow and even. Strands of hair had fallen over her face, lips slightly parted. I stood there, hands in my pockets, just… watching like the creep
His To Own Chapter 42: Taking Care Of Him
Kane didn’t leave.He sat there like a shadow that refused to move, his gaze following me as I picked up my phone to check if I had any message of when my package would be delivered. Deciding to track my order, I sat on the couch opposite him deciding to just ignore his presence since he wasn’t here to talk. I grunt as I noticed the delivery was still about an hour away from being delivered. What’s the use of paying for express delivery when it was going to take forever to get here. I had placed an order since 9am today and this was already 3:45pm.“Expecting someone?” I heard him ask “Yes how many times do I have to tell you— the delivery man” i say tearing my eyes off my phone to look at him, now he didn’t look so good“Are you sure you don’t have to go to the hospital you look like you are on your last breath” He laughs a really hearty one “would you love that, for me to take my last breath?” “I gain nothing in your death and i also would appreciate it if you didn't do it here

“What do you want?” I snapped.Well, there goes my good mood.“That’s no way to speak to me, darling. We haven’t talked in, what… Two weeks?” His low voice almost sounded hurt. Almost.“Clearly, you have a reason for calling me,” I said, walking out of my room toward the kitchen.No way I was having this conversation on an empty stomach.“Yes… I miss you.”I paused, one hand gripping the stair railing.“Don’t you miss me?”“No, I don’t. And why would I?” I said, regaining my composure and stepping into the kitchen.“That hurts my feelings. You know that, right?”“Good thing I don’t care about your feelings.” I put the phone on speaker and set it on the counter.Opening the fridge, I muttered, “What can I eat today?”“And here I was, thinking you’d be eager to talk to me, given your meeting with Liam’s lawyer.”I turned to glare at the phone like it was his face, then went back to scanning the fridge.“You’re right,” I said flatly. “I did have something to say to you, but I didn’t have
His To Own Chapter 40: Starting New
Should I just call her?I've been sitting on my bed since I woke up this morning, staring at my open diary, its pages filled with memories of my past. I can almost hear the echoes of my old life, the one I left behind five years ago. Laying back down, I let out a long sigh, unsure of what to do.My hand reaches for the alarm clock beside me. 8:00 AM — I can’t keep lying here, paralyzed by indecision. I need to do something, anything, to break this cycle.I sit up, running a hand through my tangled hair. I know what I need to do. I just don’t know how to do it. I hadn’t spoken to my father since I told him to leave yesterday. Like other things I wanted to do I needed to speak with Kane to know what he and my father had discussed but I had no way of contacting him so I had put a pause on that.Deciding to take a leap and just call my best friend back in college. TaraShe was the one person who always knew how to pull me out of a dark place. She saw through all the walls I built and st

A steady beeping sound filled my ears as I slowly opened my eyes. The bright white light above made me squint, and for a moment, everything felt blurry.I blinked a few times, adjusting to my surroundings. The room smelled of antiseptic, and the soft hum of machines echoed around me. I was in a hos

Without saying anything to Liam, I let go of her arm and walked back to the kitchen to finish my breakfast. I heard them follow behind me, the front door shutting as they entered. I tried to eat quickly because whatever was about to unfold, I needed the strength to deal with it.“Babe, this… this w

I woke up in Kane’s bed, my whole body sore—a painful reminder of last night. Groaning softly, I turned to my side, my tired eyes drifting to where Kane was supposed to be. The sheets were cold. He’d been gone for a while.Rubbing my eyes, I tried to shake off the sleep. I wasn’t sure what I expect

“Mrs. Anya, are you okay? You had me worried. I’ve been knocking for a while,” Cassie said as I opened the door. I rubbed my eyes to shake off sleep.“Sorry, I fell asleep, so I didn’t hear you knocking,” I replied.“It’s alright. Dinner is ready, and Master Kane is waiting for you downstairs,” she
