Iris’s POV

I woke up to the sharp, restless sound of my phone vibrating against the bedside table, the noise cutting through the quiet in a way that felt almost urgent.

For a moment, I did not move. My body felt heavy and slow, as though I was still caught somewhere between sleep and the haze of everything that had happened the night before. The room was dim, washed in soft morning light that slipped through the curtains and stretched faintly across the walls. Everything felt still, too still,

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 48

    Iris's POVI could feel my heart beating so fast I feared Marcus would hear and I schooled my features into a calmness I clearly did not feel. My fingers curled slightly in my lap as I turned to look at him but his eyes were fixed on the road calmly and unaware of the war inside of me.I racked my head for an answer that would not break anything. I forced a small breath out, steadying myself before I spoke.“I went out for air,” I said, keeping my voice soft, natural. “It got a bit crowded inside.”That part was true although it was not the whole truth, it was close enough to stand on.Marcus nodded slightly, like that made sense.“And he was there?” he asked.I swallowed guiltily, my gaze drifting briefly to the window before returning to him.“Yeah,” I said. “ He was on the balcony. I didn’t expect to see him there.”My heart was beating too fast again. I could hear it in my ears, loud and insistent, like it was trying to betray me.I kept going.“I thought about leaving,” I added,

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 47

    Iris’s POV After that narrow escape, I stayed beside Marcus for as long as I could after that. I am definitely not finding myself in a precarious position this evening. I smiled when people spoke to me. I nodded at the right moments and laughed when I was supposed to. But inside, I was still in that hallway still feeling the press of Victor’s mouth against mine. I could still feel the trepidation that washed over me when I heard those footsteps. As I waited for the moment everything would fall apart. Every time Marcus stepped away, even for a second, my chest tightened. I did not want to be alone again where Victor could find me or where I might forget myself again. So I stayed close. Too close, maybe. At one point, Marcus wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me gently into his side as he spoke to one of his uncles. The warmth of him, the ease of it, should have grounded me. Instead, it made something twist inside me. Because I knew what I had done just minutes ago and I wa

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 46

    Iris’s POV For one second, I could not breathe. Marcus’s voice came too close, too sudden, cutting straight through the moment like a blade. My heart slammed so hard it felt like it would burst out of my chest. I stepped back without thinking, my body reacting before my mind could catch up. I forced my face into something calm before I turned, even though my pulse was racing and my lips still felt warm from Victor’s kiss. “Hey,” Marcus said, stopping just short of us. His eyes moved between the two of us, not suspicious, just curious. “Are you both hiding back here?” I let out a small, breathy laugh, hoping it sounded natural. “I needed some air,” I said quickly. “It got a bit crowded in there.” Victor did not miss a beat. He stepped slightly to the side, giving me space, his expression composed in that effortless way of his. “She looked overwhelmed,” he added calmly. “I was just making sure she was alright.” I nodded, a little too fast. “Yeah. That’s all.” Marcus studied me

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 45

    Victor’s POV I saw her before anyone announced her and that was the problem. No matter how many people filled the room, no matter how carefully I kept my distance, my eyes found her first. It had always been that way. From the very first moment. And tonight, it was worse. Because she was not mine to stand beside. She was on my son’s arm. Laughing softly, tilting her head just enough as she listened to someone speak, her fingers resting lightly against Marcus’s sleeve like it was the most natural thing in the world. Like she belonged there. Publicly, she did but we both knew that she belonged to me. I lifted my glass slightly, more out of habit than desire, my gaze steady even as I battled with jealousy. I had spent three years away in Singapore building control into every part of my life. When I came back and met her, all of that fizzled away. I remembered the first time I saw her, I had walked to the door to welcome my son and his fiancée but when I saw her, there was nothing i

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 44

    Marcus’s POV I had not expected the nerves. I stood at the edge of the main hall in Aunt Helen’s house, watching the staff make final adjustments, smoothing out details that most people would never notice. Glasses were aligned, lights softened, music tested and lowered to the perfect background hum. Everything looked exactly the way I had imagined it. And still, something in my chest would not settle. Maybe it was because this was bigger than anything I had done before. Or maybe it was because this was the first time everything in my life was about to collide in one place. Three years. That was how long my father had been away in Singapore. Three years of calls, brief visits, and long stretches of distance that had quietly reshaped things between us. When he told me he was finally coming back home, I was happy to have him close. I still remembered the day I told him about Iris. It had been over a call in the simple and direct way we usually handled important things. “I’m enga

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 43

    Iris's POV Maya’s call came just as I was closing my laptop, my thoughts still tangled in half written lines that felt a little too close to my own life. “Iris,” she said the moment I picked up, already breathless with urgency. “We have a situation.” I leaned back slowly, letting out a quiet breath. “That never sounds good. What did you do?” “I didn’t do anything,” she snapped. “Marcus did. He told me to pretend I’m taking you to a surprise party tonight.” I blinked once, then let out a soft laugh. “Oh….” “So now we have to make it believable,” she continued. “Hair, makeup, full prep. You have to look like you have no idea.” “I can do clueless,” I said easily. “It’s becoming a skill.” “I’m coming to get you in an hour. Be ready.” The call ended, and for a moment, I just stood there, letting the weight of it settle. A surprise party. For me. The idea was almost ironic, considering how much I already knew. I picked up my phone and typed quickly, my fingers moving without hesi
