Iris’s POV

Victor smiled and turned back to Amy, who was already asking him something about his skincare routine. The moment broke but I had seen what I needed to see. Maya was afraid of him in a way that made you stay very still and hope the danger passed you by.

I excused myself to the restroom.

The hallway near the bathrooms was quieter. The music was just a low throb through the walls. I stood at the sink, gripping the cold porcelain, staring at my reflection.

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 127

    Marcus's POVThe list my father sent me contained four names, and I knew two of them by reputation alone. The first was a security consultant who had been on Victor's payroll for over a decade, a man named Gerard who specialized in what my father euphemistically called "sensitive acquisitions." The second was a former intelligence officer who had traded government secrets for private sector money and never looked back. The third and fourth were lower level operatives who handled logistics and surveillance, the kind of people who knew everything about an operation but had no stake in its outcome.None of them were answering their phones.I stood at the edge of the crash site while the police finished their preliminary investigation, my phone pressed to my ear and my father pacing behind me like a caged animal. Iris's parents had been taken to the station to file a formal report, and her mother had gripped my arm before she left with a desperation that made my chest ache. "Find her," sh

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 126

    Marcus’s POV I couldn’t believe what I just heard. No wonder Iris stood no chance against him."She told you she was done and you decided to abduct her. That's not love, Dad. That's a crime." I stepped closer, close enough to see the lines around his eyes and the tension in his jaw and the faint sheen of sweat on his forehead that betrayed the panic he was trying so hard to hide. "You've spent months telling yourself you were protecting her. You drugged me on my honeymoon and followed her across the country and bought her publisher, and you called all of it love. But love doesn't run people off the road. Love doesn't hire men to intercept a woman on a dark highway. Love doesn't stand in the wreckage and pretend it had nothing to do with the disaster.""Marcus...""I'm not finished." My voice was steady, steadier than it had any right to be, and I realized somewhere in the back of my mind that I was no longer afraid of him. He had spent my whole life looming over me, an impossible sta

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 125

    Marcus’s POV I had been sitting in my office at the company headquarters, a building I had not set foot in since the tabloid story broke and my face became synonymous with humiliation. But bills needed paying and work needed doing, and I had decided somewhere in the haze of the past few weeks that I would not let my father's sins drive me out of my own life. The voicemail had arrived as I was reviewing quarterly reports, her name appearing on my screen for the first time since I walked out of our house and didn't look back.I almost didn't listen. I had deleted every message she sent without opening it, had forwarded every text to a folder I never looked at, had trained myself to stop hoping her name on my phone meant something other than another apology I wasn't ready to hear. But something about the length of this one made me pause. Forty-seven seconds. Most of her messages were under ten, brief and broken and full of words she couldn't quite get out. Forty-seven seconds meant some

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 124

    Iris’s POVI could feel my consciousness returning in stages, like a swimmer pushing toward the surface of a dark lake, and the first thing I felt wasn't fear or confusion but a hot pulse of fury because I knew exactly who was responsible for this. The blindfold pressed against my eyelids and the restraints circled my wrists and the cold concrete floor seeped through my clothes, but all I could think about was Victor sitting in that coffee shop with his hands folded on the table, telling me I was rewriting history while he was already planning this."Victor!" My voice scraped out of my throat and echoed off the walls, and I didn't care who heard me because I wanted him to know I wasn't going to make this easy. "I know you can hear me. What is this? You couldn't convince me to stay with your words so now you're going to force me? This is low, even for you."The silence after that was thick and heavy, the kind of silence that felt like it was listening. I strained against it, waiting f

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 123

    Victor’s POV "Start making calls," I said. "Reach out to every contact you have, every informant, every source. Someone knows something. Someone saw a vehicle on that road, someone heard something, someone talked to the wrong person at the wrong time." "I'm already on it. But Victor, there's a chance this isn't about her. It could be about you. Someone trying to send a message by taking something you care about." The thought had already occurred to me, and it made my blood run cold. I had enemies. A man in my position always had enemies. Business rivals I had crushed, partners I had betrayed, competitors who had spent years looking for a weakness they could exploit. Until Iris, I had no weaknesses. Until Iris, I was untouchable. She had changed that simply by existing, by becoming the one thing in the world I couldn't afford to lose. "If someone took her to get to me," I said slowly, "they'll reach

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 122

    Victor's POV I had been waiting for the call since the moment I left the coffee shop, and every minute that passed without my phone ringing felt like a small, deliberate insult. The man I had hired was reliable, efficient, and discreet, all qualities I valued highly and compensated generously. He had never failed me in a decade of service, and I did not expect him to start now. But Iris was unpredictable in ways that made even the most straightforward operations complicated, and some part of me had been bracing for complications since the moment I gave the order. The house was quiet around me, the way it had been since long before Iris walked into my life and filled it with chaos and desire and the unbearable weight of wanting something I couldn't fully possess. I had poured myself a whiskey and settled into my study to wait, but the whiskey sat untouched on the desk and my mind refused to settle. I kept picturing her on that highway, her ha

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 2

    Iris’s POV The drive home felt longer than it should have. Marcus had the radio tuned to that low jazz station he likes, humming off-key while he scrolled emails at red lights. I stared out the passenger window, watching streetlights smear past, but my brain was still stuck on the terrace. I cou

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 100

    Marcus's POV The bell above the door chimed when I walked in, a soft jingle that felt entirely too cheerful for the way my stomach was knotting itself into something unrecognizable. The bookstore smelled like old paper and fresh coffee, the kind of smell that used to make Iris close her eyes an

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 103

    Marcus's POV Maya was already in the booth when I walked in, her hands wrapped around a cup of coffee that had stopped steaming a long time ago. She looked up when she heard the door, and her face did something complicated, a flicker of relief that I had shown up followed immediately by the kind o

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 1

    Iris’s POV I should have known from the day I met my fiancé’s father that I would end up sleeping with him. The attraction was so fierce and it was obvious it went both ways. I didn’t go out of my way to seek him out and I even avoided him, but there was no escaping this. I write romance for
