Falling For My Father’s Son のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 91 - チャプター 100

Annabel’s POV “What?!” Daniel’s voice broke out as he headed in my direction to block Fiona from stepping forward. “No, no no. Mom, no one is there.” My heart kept pounding faster as I watched Fiona lower her head, her expression shifting in confusion. “Daniel…” Her chest rose in defiance. “Is there anything that I should know?” “What? No, Mom. There is nothing.” He placed an arm around her, leading her to the door. “In fact, Mom, I think it will be better if you leave. I’d love to freshen up so I can join you guys for dinner.” Fiona stopped, studying him. “Fine, if you say so. Just hurry up.” Her voice echoed outside. “And don’t forget to call Annie to find out where she is.” Daniel exhaled deeply before slamming the door shut. I crawled out from the shadows, still panting, without even noticing that my fingers were trembling. “Are you good?” Daniel came forward to me, supporting my back with his hand to steady me. I straightened up. “Yeah…” My eyes darted around and

Daniel’s POV I gently lowered Annabel to her feet, not even knowing how to react myself. “Hey, come here!” I ordered the housemaid, trying to instill fear in her. She flinched, and with a quick step, she was standing before us, trembling like a cat that had been heavily beaten by rain. “What’s your name?” Her eyes dropped to the floor, faint sounds breaking from her . “My….my name is Rose.” I hissed, dragging a shaky hand through my hair. Then my eyes landed on Annabel. She stood frozen, eyes wide open, her throat tight as if she were struggling for air. I leaned closer to her, gliding a finger into her fist to steady her. “Annie, it’s fine. She is just a maid.” Annabel turned to me, stunned. “Just a maid?” she asked, my eyes darting around with guilt. “Daniel, we need to look for a way to solve this mess.” Rose shook her head frantically. “I did not see anything… I promise.” Annabel scoffed. “Oh, come off it… You did not see anything?” she repeated, her lips quivering. She t

Annabel’s POV Daniel slid his arm around my waist, leading me to the car park. Then he turned to the sales rep, who had been standing there, grinning uncontrollably. “Can you show us around?” “Y… yes, sir. You can come with me.” We followed him and stopped where the cars were lined up. Just Lamborghinis. Different colors and sizes. Daniel leaned over to my ear. “The ball is in your court now.” My stomach twisted with joy, and I turned to him. “Like… you’re getting me a car?” He smiled and nodded. I turned to the line of cars, spreading my hands in excitement. “A Lambo, for that matter…?” “Uhmmm, point at anyone and it’s all yours.” God, I have never been this happy all my life. Owning a car has always been a dream since I started working. But getting one this soon… OMG. I had thought that once my app got funded and started yielding money, I would definitely get one. And to think of it, a Lamborghini has always been my dream car, the same model. I turned to Daniel, squinti

Daniel’s POV I waited until Annabel was long gone before I went close to my mom. A violent fury pulsed through me, threatening to consume every breath I took. “Mom, what’s wrong? Why the sudden need to invite Stephanie over?” She patted my back, her eyes still fixed on the path Annabel had taken Stephanie. “Relax, son. A few days will not do much harm. It will only strengthen the bond you two share.” I turned to her, my eyes widening in disbelief. “Bond? Mom, what bond are you talking about?” A faint scoff escaped her as she turned to me, our eyes locking. “Son…” she began softly, lowering her head, “I know there have been issues between you and Stephanie.” She drew in a steadying breath. “No relationship is perfect. Quarrels happen, but love can always be rekindled. So I’ve decided to help bring back the spark between you two.” Her words prodded at the part of me I had fought hard to chain down. I couldn’t let her see me lose control. Not now. “What spark, Mom?” I said slowl

Daniel’s POV The night felt colder than usual. Not having Annabel beside me tonight was torture, but the most punishing part of all this wasn’t just her absence. It was Stephanie. She was still outside with my mom, no doubt plotting something. Whatever it was, she would never stand a chance. I decided to take a shower first, hoping it might wash away the fire simmering inside me. Steam curled around me, hot and heavy, but when I finally stepped out. Wrapped in a white towel, half-tied around my waist, water still dripping, the heat hadn’t left my body. And then I saw her. Stephanie sat perched at the edge of the bed, her gaze sharp and calculating, as if she had been waiting for this exact moment. “God,” I breathed. Her lips curved into a sultry smile. “Daniel…” She said my name like she had the right to. Letting it linger in the air, heavy and unwelcoming. “What the fuck are you still doing awake?” Her face softened into a pout. “I was waiting for you.” A dry chuckle pushed
