XANDER

My plan had been to show her around before we got to the lounge where we would have our dinner. I had also intended to make a fake proposal to her in line with the plan, and I had gotten the engagement rings. Of course, it was going to be made public; Thayer would see it online, and the idea had been to get him angry.

Maeve is pregnant with his child, for Christ’s sake! I didn’t raise an irresponsible son who would abandon his pregnant wife! I wanted him to come to his senses, and I was going to take a huge step toward that tonight!

I was not expecting Thayer to actually be here and make things difficult for us! Not only was he here, but he was also twisting the truth! Buying Maeve over? And now, he was challenging me to kiss Maeve.

Of course, I would love to give Maeve a long kiss on the lips, but I wasn’t under my son’s orders. And I wasn’t going to kiss Maeve under some sort of stupid challenge. Also, I didn’t want to do anything that would make her uncomfortable. Each time

  • My Father In-Law Belongs To Me   023 - Where the hell is your son?!

    XANDERI knew she would be so happy when she received the news that she was the new CEO of the gallery, and I felt a warmth in my chest at the way she squealed with excitement.All this while, I had been working to buy the gallery in her name because I couldn’t stand having her humiliated anymore. I was satisfied she was happy with the idea; now I could finally go to work.I downed the last drop of wine in the glass I was holding before stepping out with my briefcase. As I walked into the garage, I saw someone approaching hastily from the corner of my eye. The pace was alarming; I had to turn, only to find it was Nora approaching with so much anger. Her face looked flushed, and her body looked tense.“Nora?” What was she doing here? She had made it clear she wasn’t ever going to come back since I chose Maeve over her. “What are you doing here?”“I never knew you were this heartless, Xander!” she snapped when she was closer to me. Her voice was unusually high, and I knew the last time

  • My Father In-Law Belongs To Me   022 - I own the gallery?

    MAEVEI refused to answer the call again, even when she called back. I thought she was totally out of her mind or probably drunk, but then I remembered what Xander had said just a few minutes ago. They would call me back? Did he get me my job back?My spirits lifted, and I quickly stood from the floor, rushing to meet him. What has he done this time?I found him in the wine chamber, sipping some wine from a glass. He looked at me for a moment, and seeing his face again made me nearly forget why I was there, just staring back at him.He cleared his throat and walked toward me. “I’m sorry I lied to you.” He slowly took my hand in his, eyes locked on mine, looking hurt. But I slipped my hand out of his, still angry. I was only there to find out what he did that made the director personally call me back to work.“What did you do?” I blurted, arms crossed over my chest, glaring at him.“What?” he asked, looking confused. “I lied to you,” he repeated.“Not that! Why am I suddenly being aske

    MAEVEA knock on the door jolted me awake from my sleep. I didn’t know how long I must have slept, given my eyelids felt heavy. I dragged myself out of bed and went to get the door; it was Xander with one of his charming smiles.“Good morning sleepyhead,” he teased.“Good morning,” I greeted him back with a smile.“You're not ready for work yet?” he asked, and I was confused. He already knew I had been dismissed from work.I scoffed. “Are you being sarcastic this morning? It’s been two weeks, and I haven’t gone to work because I was sacked. You know that?” I raised an eyebrow at him, and he chuckled.“That means they haven’t called you then. Let’s give them a little more time,” he said, ruffling my hair. “Once you get the call, meet me in the sitting room,” he smiled. I was confused about what had gotten into him. Why would I suddenly get a call from work? It’s been two weeks!“I don’t understand what you mean, Xander, but I want to sign up for a prenatal class this weekend.” He stare

    MAEVEXander pulled out a velvet box from his pocket and flashed it in my face, a radiant smile lighting up his features. I laughed as I realized what would be inside that box. “Don’t tell me you carry the ring around?”“Yes, I take it with me everywhere I go… since the first day I proposed. I’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to place it on your finger,” he replied, gently taking my left hand and brushing a tender kiss against it. “I should do this properly,” he said with a soft laugh, getting down on one knee beside me at the foot of the bed while I sat up, my heart racing.“Will you marry me?” he asked again, his voice filled with hope.“Yes!” I beamed, watching as he slipped the exquisite ring from the velvet box onto my finger.“Thank you,” he looked grateful like I’d done him a favor. His soothing voice warmed my heart, accompanied by a gentle hug from him that enveloped me in comfort.When we broke the embrace, I finally gazed at the ring. It featured a platinum band adorn

  • My Father In-Law Belongs To Me   019 - Will you marry me?

    MAEVEI had been angry and jealous, watching the way Xander’s wife touched him back at the gallery. Insecurity and overwhelm had begun to creep in, overshadowing the heavy ache that seized my lower abdomen.I wanted to run away, to disappear as the curator tarnished my image. I wanted to hide and cry after I concluded I was about to lose Xander. But the moment I tried to move, my head spun, and a sharp pain gripped my body, causing my legs to give way as I collapsed to the floor.What happened next felt alien until I woke up in a hospital with Xander by my side. Seeing him immediately brought back memories of his encounter with his wife. He had never told me he was still married. Why did he put me in the limelight through this fake relationship? To ridicule me? Was that all men liked to do to women who weren’t attractive enough—ridicule them by pretending to have something going for them?I was so mad at him that I didn’t speak, even when he showed me kindness. He made me look like a

    XANDER “Respect?” Nora echoed, her lips curled in disgust. “She lost all respect in my eyes the day she agreed to marry Thayer. I wanted my son to marry the daughter of a rich realtor who would build your business more across America. I never expected he would end up with an orphan whose late mother was nothing but a whore, my sworn enemy!” I never knew Nora had this much venom in her voice.Yes, she always hated Lilian, Maeve’s mother, because she dated her college crush instead of her. When Edgar, her crush, died in an accident, she blamed it all on Lilian for breaking his heart.“I’ve worked with her at the gallery, and I know she’s the gold-digging type. She can make you sign off all your investments to her. She almost made us lose all our customers at the gallery; that’s why I had to get the director to fire her…”“Fire her?!” I repeated, shocked. “She was fired today?” I was so annoyed I almost jumped on Nora. “Who the fuck fired her?” My fists clenched at my sides as I struggl
