55. A Fight & A Threat
DAHLIA
I watched as Dane punched Warren in the face repeatedly.
"Dane!" I said, as he knocked Warren to the ground, punching him across the face. Several men rushed over, trying to pull him off.
"Whoa, whoa! Guys!" Adrien said, alarmed.
"What happened?!" A woman asked me, and I shook my head as startled as her.
"Probably your fault, right Dahlia?" Another woman chipped in snidely.
I ignored her as I watched the men pull Dane off Warren.
"What happened?!" Adrien asked looking panicked.
"The police will deal with this." Dane said icily.
Warren spat some blood out as he glared at Dane.
"You wouldn’t risk that." He said, and I didn’t miss the flicker of fear in his eyes.
"Oh I would, and I assure you I hold more power over them than you. I wouldn’t abuse my position, but threaten my woman and I’ll fucking destroy you." Dane spat venomously.
Worry filled me. It wasn’t often that Dane swore, an

DAHLIA We had spent nearly an hour at the station whilst Dane talked with the officer. If he wasn’t a businessman, he would have made a fine detective. He demanded a female officer to handle the images, and the envelope was given for fingerprints, but he refused to leave the pictures with them. I had stayed silent, watching as he handled everything, and then I had given my two cents about Warren’s behaviour. After they said he would be arrested for blackmail, and that they would look into everything regarding the threats and messages I was receiving, we were finally told we could leave. "I'm sorry that the evening had to turn out like that." I said once we had entered the front door. "I think it turned out well, considering Warren will be arrested, although he seemed rather confident they won’t do anything to him." "You got to security first. Do you think he may have backup images and might still try to put them out?" "Maybe, but when
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 57. Malcolm's Discovery
DANE It had been a week since that night. That perfect night that I won’t forget, and it was the first of many. I had to admit, since then, things have just gotten hotter. Every moment we got alone, that passion and desire fuelled by our love consumed us. I liked seeing Dahlia get more and more comfortable with me. In fact, she even told me to shut up... then apologised right after. I had to tell her that it was all good and I liked to see her be herself. On top of that, Warren had been arrested on charges of attempted blackmail, and with enough proof, I doubt he’d get out anytime soon. The power of the El Nazari far outshines Murdock’s influence. Furthermore, the police had found proof that he had ordered someone to tamper with my car brakes, not that that came as a surprise to me. Attempted murder also added to his crimes and that was enough to keep him locked up with no chance of parole or even bail. The Murdock’s lost what business footing they had
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 58. Her Ugly Truth
DAHLIA I sent Dane the message before I rang the doorbell to Elizabeth's apartment. I had found it very absurd that she had phoned to invite me over for tea, especially after I knew what she had tried to pull. She had told me she was planning a surprise for Dane so wanted my help, and not to mention it to him or anyone, as she didn’t want the surprise to be ruined. That had been the biggest alarm bell for me, so I had decided to text Dane exactly where I was headed. Thinking ahead, I had even brought along a voice recorder that I often used in meetings and could playback if needed. Perhaps I was overthinking this... But one thing I have learned recently is that you can never be too careful. The door opened to a smiling Elizabeth. She was dressed simply in black leggings and a tank top. "Come on in!" She said, greeting me with a hug. I stepped inside, a faint smile on my face. "Thank you for the invite, Elizabeth. I wasn’t expec

DANE After that call, I straight away drove towards Elizabeth's place, ringing Dahlia several times. Where was this woman? Why wasn’t she picking up? Panic and worry only seemed to grow within me with each passing second. What do I do? I quickly dialled Markus. He should be with her, right? Pick up, pick up… "Hello, Mr Altaire." He answered, a glimmer of relief flooded me as I signalled left, zooming ahead of the other cars. "Markus, is Dahlia with you?" "No sir, actually she took the car herself today. Is everything ok?" "I'm not sure, but you know how risky things are, how come she went alone? She isn't even answering her phone." I asked, thinking fast. Despite sounding calm, my heart was beating fast. "I do apologise sir, but she is the boss… She said she was just visiting a friend. Sir, all of the madam’s cars have a tracker, I can send you the location and head there myself if you are worried?" He suggested, sounding panic

DANE An hour later, I was pacing the hospital corridor. Dahlia had awoken but I hadn't been able to see her. From her medical examination it was clear he had indeed not gotten far at all. The man was in police custody and a search was out for Elizabeth. We were yet to hear Dahlia’s statement. "Sir you can see her… She’s rather distraught." A nurse said, stepping out of her room. I didn’t wait for a second reply as I walked past her and into the room where Dahlia was struggling with a nurse. "I need to! Let go of me!" "Please ma’am, calm down-" "Princess…" I reached her quickly and pulled her tightly into my arms. My own heart was thudding as she held me tightly, trying to stay strong. I could hear her taking deep breaths, her hands clutching my shirt. "It’s alright. No one can hurt you." "He- He tried to…" She trailed off. I felt her shaking as she suppressed her tears. "He didn’t succeed." I told her quietly. I knew it wasn’t
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 61. Meeting The Parents
DAHLIA It was two days since the incident and Elizabeth had still not been found. Although this was a very disturbing matter, it was only a matter of time before she was caught. Dane had also shown me the information that the detective had found. Kendra, she had been the one sneaking the parcels, but since Warren’s arrest she was nowhere to be found. Although we had notified the police, there was still no news on her. I was quite surprised. She was a rather simple woman, so for her to get so sneaky confused me a little. Did she have help? Had it been Warren? I decided I’ll visit him in prison one of these days. I had told Dane and he had agreed as long as he was the one to accompany me to the station. We hadn't been able to go to Dane’s parent's house that day due to everything that happened. But today we were going, and I was more than nervous. Unlike when I met Warren’s parents who loved me, obviously because of my status. Dane’s parents actually disliked the wealt
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 62. A Little Naughtiness
DAHLIA My heart skipped a beat, I knew Dane had been in one serious relationship, but I had never pried or asked him more on it. "What happened son? Remembering how that one went?" His dad taunted him. "I don’t know why you don’t settle for a nice woman like Elizabeth, one who would understand this family and not look down on us." I frowned slightly. How was I looking down on them? "Your precious Elizabeth is a lying, manipulative woman. She’s tried to hurt Dahlia in ways worse than you could ever imagine and she may have been behind the troubles between Emily and I!" Dane snapped. I took a sharp breath as his mother gasped. Our reactions for very different reasons. Hearing that from Dane was something I wasn’t expecting. He hadn't told me that… and I wouldn’t lie, it stung. The slice of jealousy and insecurity rose that perhaps if it wasn’t for Elizabeth… Dane would have been happy with someone else… And the silver lining on top that
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 63. A Hot Punishment
DANE Damn, I hadn’t told Dahlia that for a reason… Without all the answers, I didn’t want to burden her with more. "We aren't sure if that’s a hundred percent true." I said quietly, glaring at Dad who was looking at me with scorn. "Do you want to see the post-mortem results?" He spat. "Mama, can I have some juice, please?" Aria said and I gave Dahlia’s hand a squeeze. I could see the pain and confusion in her eyes, although she placed them behind a mask once more. Hell… why did I hide it… She poured a glass for Aria, kissing her forehead softly. "Yeah, maybe if you gave me actual proof things could have been easier." I said icily to Dad. "Did my father know about the results?" Dahlia asked softly. I knew she was hurt despite how calmly she was speaking. "Why should I share that? They put it down as a suicide and he didn’t give a crap what happened to her." Dad said. "I think it's high time we spoke to Ba
