67. A Picture
DANE
I waited to the side of the diner, mom was currently busy and unlike last time, I was in no mood to help out. I couldn't get the words she said about Dahlia out of my head. I looked around the warmly lit diner, thinking how times had changed. I used to help out here on top of my other side jobs when I was younger. It had been tough, but seeing that debt number grow increasingly smaller encouraged me to keep going.
I walked over to the large board containing photos and notes and other bits and bobs. A wall where things were never removed from… I remembered there was a picture of me here, on my 9th birthday. It was probably the biggest party I had ever had. I remember pinning a picture here… that one would be nice to show Aria.
A small smile crossed my lips. There was something about that little princess that really warmed my heart. She was her mother’s daughter, after all, guess both knew how to melt my cold exterior.
"Dane…" My mother said, as I

DAHLIA Last night, Dane had so much on his mind that I didn’t end up telling him about the pregnancy, but I knew I needed to tell him rather than have him find out some other way. Maybe I should get something… A thought came to me and I smiled, my heart skipping a beat. It was now around 10 am and after a late night last night, I had slept in. Dane had said he’d handle work. Remembering last night, I blushed at the very thought. He indeed had a lot of stamina… I shook my head, thinking back to how I could break the news to him. A sudden thought came to me and my eyes lit up. We could go out for lunch, and then after eating, I would surprise him with a cupcake that had the message on it. Yes, that sounded good. Feeling excited, I dialled his number. "Hello." He said. "Hi, my love. I hope I’m not interrupting… I was hoping we could go out for lunch today?" I asked softly. "Of course, princess, I’ll be done with this meeting in ju

DANE You are going to become a daddy again. Those words rang in my head as I stared at my beautiful temptress. Her eyes filled with a hundred emotions as she waited for my reaction. How could I tell her…? How could I put into words the emotions that coursed through me? It felt like a repeat of when Aria first asked me to be her father. I was beyond happy, excited, nervous and worried for Dahlia. I had a thousand questions but I couldn't form any words. I reached over, cupping her face, my lips meeting hers in a deep, passionate kiss. I kissed her like it was the last time, pouring my emotions into it. I would never let her go. She had given me happiness after happiness. Why hadn't I met my precious queen sooner? I deepened the kiss as she struggled to keep up, but I didn’t care. I just wanted her to know how I felt. My love for her would never fade. She had given me three treasures that were priceless. Herself, Aria and now this little one. She gasped
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 70. Zara’s Message
DAHLIA It had been two days since I had told Dane about the baby and he had been nothing but supportive. I realised he didn’t even push me down on my stomach during sex anymore and avoided bending me over his desk yesterday at work. It was sweet. He was staying true to his word and making love to me in different places though. After sex in his office, my legs felt like jelly when I returned to my own. Although I must admit, I had felt thoroughly satisfied. I had decided to do my work from home today and just rest a little. Aria had gone to school and Dane was at work. I sipped my tea, answered some business emails and signed some digital contracts. Finally, when I was all done, I sat back after sending off my 5th email. "Phew!" I said, printing them out and sending some copies to the correct departments to store in our systems. I took my phone out, replying to Dane’s message, when I remembered the small card that belonged to Zara

DANE Two hours later, the officer had taken the full account from Dahlia. I didn’t want her to be stressed, not when she was pregnant, but it was inevitable. I just hoped that once this was all over and all those behind it were behind bars, life would become easier. "This video is enough, but I think if we had a full confession from Amal El Nazari we could have a stronger case. She comes from a wealthy family, even if your influence is much stronger. Warren Murdock is already using the sympathy card that we are abusing power and holding him. Under pressure, there are chances they will be released on bail until the court passes the final judgement. I think the best thing we can do is get a full confession from her. Ms El Nazari, I think you are the one best for this job." "She can’t…" I trailed off when Dahlia nodded. "We will be there, all set around you. We would be happy for yourself to be there too Mr Altaire. I assure you that Ms El Nazari’s safet
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 72. Amal
DAHLIA Baba had come this morning and Aria, bless her soul, was beyond ecstatic when she learned that Baba would be living with us. The only thing that worried me was, his days were numbered. I had personally gone with Markus to collect Baba’s medication from his doctor. I was hoping Amal would ring me as Baba had warned me that she was very angry he was leaving. Once she called, that would be my cue to invite her to one of the spots the officers had suggested. We were on the way back from getting the medication when the phone rang. I smiled when I saw my stepmom’s number. Well, it seemed this was my chance. I answered the call after taking a deep breath. "Hello?" I answered. "Dahlia. Hello. I will skip the pleasantries; how do you think I feel knowing you have taken my husband from me?" "He’s my father too. I just feel you are always so busy anyway, at least this way I can take better care of him." I said. I wan

DANE She had done it, when we heard those words, Mason motioned for two officers to move in. I stepped back feeling relieved. That’s my girl… it was less than five minutes of madness. Amal screamed that Dahlia had tricked her, swearing she wouldn’t get away with this. "Let's just take this to the station, Ms." Mason said, cuffing Amal. I knew it would make some news, but I had called a few people from the company to settle things down at the restaurant. Hopefully, it wouldn’t blow up completely and some damage control would minimise the damage. I walked over to Dahlia as Amal was being led out, a few cops surrounding her. They were all dressed in casual wear as they had been around the restaurant blending in. "You don’t understand! I demand my lawyer! Now!" "You will be allowed to call your lawyer at the station. Anything you say can and will be held against you." "This isn’t good… No… I can’t be caught! I’m pregnant!"
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 74. Like Strangers
DAHLIA It was a week since that dreadful shooting and the news was still plastered all over the media. However, I too had been dragged into the news. There were rumours that Amal and I had argued just before the shooting, and there was CCTV footage of what happened. Luckily, it was clear that I had nothing to do with it. Nevertheless, our representative had to make a statement about our argument. The funeral was over, and everything had finally settled again. Baba had handled it very politically and it made me wonder if he ever loved Amal or had he simply needed someone to pass time with? My only guilt was towards the child who had no chance at life, long gone before he even entered the world. I had a word with Baba after I heard him talk about Warren to Dane, I had given him a piece of my mind and he admitted he had made many mistakes in life. Malcolm had said he had got news of Kendra being sighted not far from this city, which brought me hope

DAHLIA "I’m always going to be your mama." I whispered. She nodded vigorously. When had my baby grown up so much? "I know you’re my only mama, the one who takes care of me and loves me. It doesn’t matter what anyone says, you are the only mommy I want." She whispered. I smiled wiping her tears. "I love you Ari." I whispered, kissing her forehead. She smiled, wiping my tears in return with her mitten covered hands, and hugged me tightly. Nothing could change our relationship… But the fact that my daughter had to find out like this… I stood up, holding her hand as I looked at the woman who was muttering to another as she held her cheek. "Mrs James… The El Nazari’s will not be working with your husband’s company anymore." "W-why you can’t let a child’s issue-" "A child’s issue?! Really?! Then why did you get involved! When you insult the future heir to that company, you have made your decision. As for this school,
