Daphne's PoVI felt so complete being between my father and Asher. I felt very full and not empty like usual.I walked into the restroom. Several women with heavy makeup were looking in the mirror and doing their makeup. When I went inside, they all looked at me strangely, as if I was a stranger there. But I didn't care. I quickly went inside and finished the urge to pee that was tormenting me.I could hear the conversations of these women. Most of those dressed very revealingly with mannequin-like faces were sugar babies. They all date old men and prey on places like this because rich men like to waste their money on dinner and will be tempted once they see them bare their thighs or breasts."You know, I just finished getting a holiday present from my boyfriend. He told his wife he owed his friend because she held all his money. The poor woman is boring, so she cheats on him almost every day, and you know... his wife always thinks her husband is the most loyal person in the world be

PoV 3An uproar followed as Joan was upset that the woman was pointing fingers at her daughter. Je then dragged the woman into the security room. "I'll teach you a valuable lesson," she said sternly. Everyone who saw that was shocked, "Huh?! So he is Joan, the rich businesswoman? Isn't he really very wealthy?" one of the mouths spoke up and validated, Everyone who heard that wondered, "What's the problem now? Is that woman making trouble with a great person?" The mouths that had previously blasphemed them turned one by one to defend Joan and Daphne. "Crazy! That woman must be crazy! She scolded someone's child in public. If I were her mother, I'd beat the crap out of her." Said one mouth. Another nodded, "That's right, so that silent woman from earlier was the poor person who was being bullied by a crazy woman? I feel sorry for her. I should have helped." The voices of those watching grew louder and louder.The woman listened. She was even more frightened when her arm was pulled

Daphne's PoVThe fragrant smell of cooking disturbed my senses. I woke up, and Asher was still asleep next to me. I slowly got out of bed so as not to wake Asher and opened the bedroom door slowly. I walked down the stairs slowly and headed towards the kitchen. Marisa was there. He was cooking this early. The puppy that caught me and Asher kissing yesterday was his."You're awake, Daphne. It's still early," Marisa said while chopping onions. She seemed to be making a soup that looked very delicious."Why are you up so early when everyone else still sleeps?" I smiled and approached Marisa. She was a very generous woman."I'm used to it. You know that I'm a nurse, and my job is to take care of people. I was used to serving, and well... that was that. That habit even carries over to the house."I listened to Marisa as I watched her chop the herbs and put some in. The oven dinged, and Marisa rushed to put on her gloves while I watched because I couldn't cook and didn't know how to use th

Daphne's POV"How's this?" I showed Asher all the clothes in the suitcase. I bought summer clothes at the mall before arriving at this house. I regretted leaving my suitcase at the airport because I didn't think all the winter clothes were necessary. Asher wore a black bow tie. He combs his hair and puts on some hair gel to set the ends of his hair so that it puffs up more. I'm still not dressed in anything right now. Just wearing full makeup on my face. "Just wear what you think is good. You said yourself that these are all summer-appropriate clothes," Asher said lightly. I knew that Asher was insinuating that I was stubborn enough not to listen to his suggestion to buy some cover-ups. "I didn't know there was a dinner." I dodged. "Suit yourself, darling. Better just accept the consequences of your stubbornness." Asher rubbed my cheek. He seemed to be ignoring my confusion right now. Asher then went downstairs. "I'll wait downstairs, dear."I sighed with great confusion. All thes

Daphne's PoVDad and Asher walked towards us. But Morgan had already left first after he visibly trembled when I told him my father's big name and who was dealing with him now."Why are you still here?" Dad kissed the cheek of Marisa, who forced herself to smile widely."Who were you talking to, honey?" Asher asked me."It's no one. Just an old acquaintance of mine." Marisa answered Asher's question quickly. Asher furrowed his brow. Feeling strange about Marisa's sudden answer when she was asking me. I just shrugged. Marisa must have had a good reason to conceal the identity of her evil ex-fiancé, or she might not have wanted to mess up her first dinner with me. I respected Marisa's decision to choose secrecy rather than cause trouble on our first night as a family.This moment was too precious to mess up."Let's go to our table now. I'm already starving." Father embraced Marisa with enthusiasm. I wrapped my hand around Asher's arm. We walked hand in hand to our reserved table."Are y
