Iris’s POV

The next day, I woke up with a strange kind of clarity sitting quietly in my chest.The kind that settles in after you have already crossed a line and realise there is no point pretending you are still standing safely behind it.

I lay there for a while, staring at the ceiling, replaying the night before in parts that refused to stay buried. Marcus’s arms around me, the way he smiled when he talked about his father and the way I smiled back like none of it touched me.

That was the par

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

    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

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

    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 m

    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 in m

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 42

    Iris’s POV When Marcus came home that evening, I was already waiting. I had stretched myself across the couch like I belonged there, one arm draped lazily over the backrest, legs tucked just enough to look effortless without trying. The soft glow of the lamp cast warm light over the room, and for once, everything felt carefully arranged.The door clicked open, and I turned my head slowly, as if I hadn’t been listening for that exact sound.“Hey,” he said, stepping inside, loosening his tie slightly as his eyes found me.I smiled, soft and inviting. “Hey.”“You look… relaxed,” he added, closing the door behind him.“I am,” I said lightly, pushing myself up from the couch. “You told me to be.”He chuckled under his breath, setting his keys aside. “I did.”I crossed the space between us slowly, not rushing and not hesitating either. When I reached him, I slid my arms around his neck and leaned in, pressing a warm kiss to his lips.It wasn’t hurried.It wasn’t shy.It lingered.Marcus re

    Iris’s POV Maya’s call came like a warm reprieve from the tension that had been building all morning.“Hey, you ready?” she asked, a teasing lilt in her voice. “Marcus told me to keep you occupied and relaxed, so I’m coming to get you.”I laughed softly, letting the sound tumble out like a secret. “Occupied and relaxed? That sounds dangerously perfect.”“Exactly,” she said. “I’ll be there in ten.”True to her word, she arrived quickly, the car already filled with her usual upbeat energy. I climbed in, letting her take the wheel while I sank into the seat, letting the luxury of being chauffeured sink in. Marcus’s thoughtfulness was oddly comforting. At least he had no idea how aware I was of the double life I was living.The spa was everything I needed. Soft music, scented oils, the faint whisper of other women pampering themselves. Maya took me through the usual: a pedicure that left my toes perfectly polished, a manicure that made me feel polished and untouchable, and finally a mass

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 40

    Iris’s POV The day before the engagement party felt like a quiet performance.Marcus had been acting strange since morning, though he clearly thought he was being subtle about it. He moved around the apartment with a kind of careful energy, checking his phone more often than usual, stepping out to take calls he would normally take right in front of me. Every time I walked into a room, he seemed to be in the middle of something he quickly wrapped up.If I didn’t already know, I might have found it suspicious. Instead, I found it almost… sweet. He was trying so hard.“Iris,” he called from the living room, his tone deliberately casual.I stepped out of the bedroom, leaning against the doorframe. “Yes?”He looked up from his phone, smiling in that easy way of his that had always made things feel steady. “I was thinking,” he said, setting the phone aside, “you’ve been really stressed lately. With everything. Work, planning, all of it.”I raised a brow slightly. “Have I?”He walked over,
