“Cassie, what’s wrong?” I asked, rubbing my eyes as I opened the bedroom door.

“Sorry to disturb you, Mrs. Anya, but you need to get ready right now,” she said, looking at me with an apologetic expression.

“Why? What’s going on? Did something happen?” I asked hurriedly, now fully awake.

“No, everything is fine. Mr. Kane asked me to let you know that the driver taking you home is waiting downstairs. You need to leave quickly,” she said in a quiet tone, as if trying to soften the blow.

My chest tightened. I took a deep breath, but it felt like I had been thrown into freezing water.

“What? Why? It's still so early”

“I’m sorry Mrs Anya those were his instruction”

“He..he didn’t say why at least?”

“No he didn’t”

“Oh… I… okay. Give me a minute,” I stuttered, glancing around the room, struggling to process what was happening.

He really treated me like some random prostitute—used for one night and discarded the next morning. Everything he said before we slept together had been meaningless.

  • His To Own   chapter 36: A storm and Pasta

    “Wait…” I paused with a scoff.“How much more could he owe than what he owes you? Where did all this money go and why did he have to borrow so much” i rushed out getting up and pacing around the living room “How did he go from having so much money and his business going very well to burrow billions?. What the hell is even going on”“Even in his grave he won’t let me have peace, as long as i’m associated to him he’ll keep tormenting me” I yelled out in frustration “Relax Anya, Liam was rather reckless with some of his business dealings and hence lost alot of money, if i hadn’t burrowed him that much, maybe you would have had almost 20 people knocking at your door wanting to claim his properties” “What properties does he even have left when he owes half the state” i said sarcastically throwing my hand up in the air Kane chuckled as he stared at me intensely and I turned away. He sighed “It's a good thing you have me then” he said causing me to turned towards him “Good thing I have

  • His To Own   Chapter 35: Dead

    He’s dead.The words echoed in my mind as I stood among a crowd dressed in black. I barely recognized the faces around me—strangers mostly, with a few familiar ones I’d met briefly at outings.They whispered in hushed tones, offering looks of pity and sympathy.Never in my life did I imagine I’d be standing at my husband’s funeral this soon. It felt unreal. If anyone was supposed to die, I always thought it would be my father. Not that I wished him dead, but he was old, and it seemed more... expected.Liam's family had rushed the funeral. I wasn’t even informed of the details. Not that I was close to them; I’d only met them once, but a heads-up would have been nice. I didn’t know how the accident happened, or where it happened. All I knew was that one moment, Liam was dragging me out of the event and into a taxi. The next, he was gone. Just like that.People came up to me, muttering their condolences. Some were kind, others distant. Their words felt empty. My father was there too, sta

  • His To Own   CHAPTER 34: Accident

    The music was low and soft, the lighting warm and dim, and the chatter of the wealthy filled the air like perfume. I stood in the middle of it all, dressed in a silk emerald gown that I managed to find tucked at the back of my wardrobe and Rose had been so kind as to iron it for me, with a glass of champagne in hand, yet I felt like I wasn’t really here.Because my mind kept drifting back to when I had returned home from my father' office and found Liam seated on the living room couch, scrolling through his phone like he hadn’t returned to an empty house, well not technically empty, Rose had been there. Like I hadn’t disappeared for hours to see my father without telling him. He didn’t even look up when I entered. He just said, “You’re back,” in that dry, emotionless voice of his.Not a single question.Not a word about where I went.Not even a glance in my direction when I stood there, heart racing, expecting… something.His behavior was strange, too strange. It made me uneasy and e

  • His To Own   CHAPTER 33: Father's Company

    “Are you obsessed with me?” I spat, my surprise quickly turning into anger, worsening my already foul mood.I glared at Kane as he laughed at my comment.“And what would you do if I am?” he retorted with a big smile, sitting in the chair with his legs crossed, looking as handsome as ever.“What are you doing here?”“Well, curiosity got the best of me,” he shrugged, turning the knob on my irritation even more.“You…” I paused and took a deep breath.“What’s going on? And more importantly, why am I here?” I asked, turning to my father with a questioning look.“I… well…” my father began, taking a seat at the head of the table.“Let me answer that, Mr. Williams,” Kane cut in with a smile.“Well, make it quick. I have somewhere to be.”He chuckled. “I came here for business.”“Bullshit. Business with him?” I asked, pointing at my father.He nodded.“What’s wrong with me? My company is very good at what we do,” my father said, clearly offended.I rolled my eyes at the absurdity of Kane’s 'r

  • His To Own   Chapter 32: Truth

    A self-made billionaire.Kane was a self-made billionaire, reportedly wealthier than the entire Ross empire combined. From the articles I’d read, he became an investor in one of Liam’s projects about six months ago. Not long after, he bought a majority of the company's stock, becoming the biggest shareholder. Since then, he’s invested in several other projects.But now, it seemed like Kane had taken over 80% of the company’s projects. As for the remaining 20%, he’d pulled out halfway, and no other investor wanted to pick them up, probably because Kane's company had already backed out. No one wanted to touch a project Kane had dropped.I could see why Liam was stressed. His stocks must’ve taken a serious hit. Honestly, it almost felt like Kane came into the company just to destroy it. But why? What would he gain?I sighed. I hadn’t slept at all last night. I kept tossing and turning, maybe because I took a long nap during the day.Kicking off the blanket, I got out of bed and walked

  • His To Own   Chapter 31: Explaining

    I stormed into my room and slammed the door behind me. Walking to my bed, I tossed my phone carelessly onto it. Then, I sank to the floor, clutching my hair. What a freaking scumbag. I should’ve asked him why he was saying all that all of a sudden. Did he enjoy toying with me?I spent the rest of the day in my room, playing games on my phone, unpacking my bags, and eventually taking a nap.A soft knock on the door woke me up. Slowly opening my eyes, I stretched with a groan and rubbed my face.“Come in?” I said, still half-asleep.“Mrs. Anya, dinner is ready,” Rose said, peeking through the slightly opened door.Dinner? I checked the time on my bedside table—7:30 PM. Wow, my nap lasted longer than I expected.“Okay, I’ll be down in a minute.”She nodded and closed the door. Getting up, I stretched again before heading to the dining room.Liam was already seated, phone in hand, with food spread across the table. I took the farthest seat from him, picking the dishes I wanted while compl
