His To Own: Daddy's Secret Desires. Chapter 98
MATILDA'S POV."Say something, Matilda." Tessy said. "It's so unusual for you to be this quiet or should we blame it on the hormones?" She teased.I wasn't in the mood to play around with her, so I just sighed.Tessy tilted her head, studying me with those sharp, inquisitive eyes of hers. "Alright, what’s wrong? And don’t even think about saying ‘nothing.’ I’ve known you too long for that nonsense."I looked at her for a moment, debating if I should even bother sharing. Tessy had a way of prying into things, and once she started, there was no stopping her. But I also knew she meant well.“It’s just...” I started, then stopped, unsure of how to put the words together.“Just what?” she pressed, leaning forward like she was gearing up for some juicy secret. "Don't tell me this is about Arlan, I thought you two were in a good place?""So did I?" I replied. "I thought it was just a matter of time before I turn his heart towards me completely, who knows he would..." I paused, unsure if I sh

SARAYA'S POV.I ran and ran until I felt like I was running out of breath and needed a moment to catch my breath.So many thoughts has been running through my head since I came from the hospital and the caregiver took charge.I should be sleeping because I had barely slept a wink during my stay at the hospital but on getting home, I feel like I couldn't breath hence the decision to run.My body was aching, my eyes were heavy but my mind won't rest. I decided it was time to go home.On getting home, I headed to my room to take a shower.I was dressing up when I heard a knock on the door. "Who is it?""Your grandmother."I froze. "This isn't good." I told myself. She rarely comes to my room and when she does, it usually not pleasant. "Come in." I answered, a part of me wondering why she didn't barge in like she would have done.My grandmother walked in. "I was here earlier but you were not in.""I went for a walk, didn't know you wanted to see me." I replied."Sir, I came to see you ove

IAN'S POV."Merry Christmas!" Mary smiled at me as I took my seat at the dinning table.I looked around at the table. Saraya, Evan's and my grandma were all seated. "There is nothing to be merry about, if you ask me." I replied.Mary’s smile faltered slightly, but she quickly masked it by adjusting the bowl of roasted potatoes in front of her. "It's Christmas, Ian. Let's try to have a nice meal together."Saraya let out a dry chuckle, her eyes fixed on the centerpiece. "Since when do we ever have a nice meal together, Mom?" she muttered."Can we not do this today?" Mary sighed, glancing between Saraya and me.Just then, we heard the door bell rang and we all turned towards the door."Who could it be?" My grandmother asked. "Are we expecting anyone?" She asked Mary.Mary shrugged as she stood up. "I’ll get the door," she said, heading out of the dining room.A moment later, Mary’s voice rang out loud and clear."Dominic, merry Christmas! Come in."My blood boiled at the mention of his

SARAYA'S POV.Seated on a rocking chair in my room, I gawked at the window, my mind blank as much as I had a lot to think about. Perhaps, they weren't worth thinking about.The creaking sound of the chair rocking forth and back synced with the sound of my heart beat. Until the ring of my phone interrupted my silence staring, causing me to shift my gaze to the bed where it laid.“Who could it be?” I rolled my eyes as I got out of the chair and walked to the bed. Grabbing the phone, I saw it was Peter, my secretary.“Hello?” I said as I brought the phone closer to my ear and walked to the window to get a better view of the nothingness I had been staring at.“Good morning, Ma'am. Have you heard the news?” His voice trembled as he spoke, and my heart skipped a beat. It was unusual for him to sound like that.“What news is that?” My breath hitched in my throat as I fiddled with the hem of my blouse.“Ian has called in an urgent board meeting,” He uttered as slowly and gently as he could, b

ARLAN'S POV.I checked the time again and it was 1:42p.m. "Why is she not here yet?" I asked looking around again."Look who we have here?" Ian called out. "Saraya's knight in shining armour."I sighed before turning around, knowing fully well whose voice it was.I chuckled. "Ian, I see you're here.""Of course, I initiated the meeting to see your sweetheart being usurp from her seat." Ian said with a smug on his lips."You won't succeed." I told him in a low tone, glaring at him."You should stop lying to yourself." Ian patted my shoulder, leaning closer. "Alex is not here and you're the last person she wants to see now, after all, you're the origin of her woes."I tightened my fist and Ian eyes followed. "Wow, easy man." He said, taking two steps away from me. "See you in the boardroom." He waved at me and walked away.At exactly 1:56p.m, I saw her walked in. Picking up my pace, I called out, "Saraya!"She stopped abruptly, turning to face me. Her eyes widened for a split second bef

SARAYA'S POV."Saraya, wait!" I heard arlan called from behind but didn't stop. I entered the elevator and he joined me just before the door would close."Why did you decide to resign?" He asked. "Alex wouldn't have want this.""This seems to be the best option at this time, I would rather resign honorably than be ousted out in shame. As for my father, he will realize I did what is best for me. Everyone can drop their expectations of me now and let me breath.""Sara ..." Arlan's voice softened as he said my name, and the air between us became tensed.I crossed my arms, leaning against the elevator wall, refusing to meet his gaze. "Don't, Arlan. Don't make this harder than it already is.""You think running away is what's best for you?" he pressed."It's not running away," I snapped, my voice hard. "It's survival. The threats, the judgment... it's suffocating. I won't wait around for them to strip me of what remains of my dignity." My jaw clenched. "You don't understand—""I understan

MARY'S POV.The moment I closed the door behind me, wide smile appeared on my way. "Yes!" I clapped my hands. "Saraya is out of the way, I must also get Ian out of the way."Everything was falling in place and I couldn't be more happier. I grabbed a bottle of wine from the bar attached to my bedroom.I didn’t know how yet, but I would find a way. I always did. There were still a few pieces left to move on the board, and Ian was one of the biggest obstacles standing between me and the life I wanted.He isn't as easily manipulated as Saraya had been, but that just made it more interesting. If there was one thing I knew how to do, it was manipulate.I set the glass down on the bar and ran my fingers through my hair. Recalling how everything had started.* FOUR YEARS AGO*I sat beside Alex’s bed, my lean fingers sliding into his, holding his hand. The antiseptic smell of the hospital filled my nostrils making me feel sick but I wouldn't leave his side.I hated seeing him like this way pal

SARAYA'S POV."I'll be leaving for Colorado today." I announced. My grandmother and Mary exchanged quick glances with surprise written on their faces.I could tell what was on that mind with their facial expressions."What do you mean by that?" Mary asked. "How long have you been planning to leave?" She quickly added, adjusting herself on her seat."I made up my mind yesterday." I replied."That's better for the company and Alex's recovery, you made a good choice. I'm so proud of you." Ian interjected from the stairs while approaching us."I don't need your option so can you stop interfering?" I retorted, training towards his direction.Ian raise his hands in the air. "As you wish." He sat down. "But I must say I'm proud of your decision."I wanted to say something but was interrupted by my grandmother."How long are you going to be in Colorado for?" My grandmother finally spoke."Mother!" Mary interjected. "Don't tell me you're allowing her to go?" She protested.My grandmother turne

DOMINIC'S POVI was standing outside, adjusting the cuff of my vintage shirt when Saraya pulled up and parked. She stepped out of the car, looking effortlessly beautiful in her black short gown and I couldn’t help but smile.“I should be the one picking you up,” I said as she approached me.She grinned. “Remember, it’s my treat.”I shook my head. “Still, that doesn’t mean you have to drive.”“Well, I did.” She shrugged.We both laughed, and I pulled her into a hug. She smelled nice but I didn’t let myself linger too long so she doesn't get uncomfortable. When we pulled apart, I took a step back and gave her an approving look.I chuckled and held out my hand. “Keys.”She raised a brow. “Excuse me?”“You’ve been at work all day. Let me drive.”She hesitated for a second before dropping the keys into my palm. “Fine. But only because I’m too tired to argue.”I took the keys from Saraya and got into the driver’s seat while she settled beside me.“I’ll take what I can get,” I said, opening t

IAN'S POV.I turned to face her, my jaw tightening. “Grandmother, you have no idea...”She held up a hand, silencing me. “I heard enough, Ian.”Mary let out shaky whimpers but not without giving a quick mockery smile on seeing my grandmother's burst in and her reaction towards me.Somehow I felt like I had fell for her trick again with my impatience. Mary was a master manipulator, and my grandmother had walked in just in time to save her.I clenched my fists as I turned to face my grandmother. My pulse was pounding, I could barely contain my anger."Grandma, you don't understand," I said, forcing myself to stay calm.She looked at me sternly. "Oh, I understand plenty, Ian. I see exactly what's happening here. Even after talking to you, you still made your way down here to accuse. I overheard your conversation, despite her genuine plead for you to stop, you keep coming hard at her."Mary sniffled, wiping at her already tear-streaked face. "Mother, I don't know why he is doing this to

ISLA’S POVAs soon as Mary left, I reached for my phone and called Ian. “Come to my room now.”He didn’t ask why. Within minutes, he was standing in front of me, looking as confident as ever.I kept my hands folded behind my back, studying him carefully. “What do you think you’re doing, Ian?”His expression remained neutral. “I don’t understand what you mean, Grandmother.”I narrowed my eyes. “Don’t play games with me. What is this about bugging Mary’s phone and threatening her in the middle of the night?”He let out a short laugh. “Is that all she told you?” He asked.I took a step closer. “You're not even denying it? I guess it's true then.”Ian shrugged. “I did what I had to do. Mary’s been scheming behind everyone’s back. She’s manipulating things to her advantage. I just evened the playing field.”I exhaled sharply, shaking my head. “Let's assume you're right, do you think blackmail is the way to do that?” I asked. "What happens to coming to me?" I added."You've weakened grandma

MARY'S POVI didn't sleep a wink the entire night, I kept on thinking of what I could do to gain leverage over Ian.The alarm rang on my bedside interrupting my thoughts. I angrily pressed the off button. "Shut the fuck up!" I yelled at the bed clock.Taking a deep breath, I got up from bed and walked to the mirror and studied my reflection. I ruffled my hair, letting it fall messily around my face, then rubbed my pale eyes until they looked swollen. My nightgown was already slightly wrinkled, which worked in my favor. "This looks perfect." I said, taking in my disheveled look.Once I was satisfied with my appearance, I stepped out of my room and walked down the long hallway to Isla’s room. My footsteps were slow, hesitant, like a woman in labour.I needed to get in character and I was doing a great job. When I reached her door, I didn’t bother knocking. I turned the handle and pushed it open, letting the door slam against the wall.Isla jolted awake, her eyes wide with shock as she

SARAYA'S POV.I turned to my side when I noticed a figure hovering over me. I stirred and open my eyes and couldn't make sense of who it was so I screamed."Easy, it's me." Gabby held me."You scared me" I said breathing heavily. "What's going on?""You were sleeping longer than expected, it's already 10a.m in the morning so I came to check on you." She explained."What? 10a.m?"Gabby stood up and drew off the curtains and opened the window. "You believe me now?"I quickly grabbed my phone, there I saw Dominic has replied my message and he had also called severally.I sat up quickly, my heart racing as I unlocked my phone. I read his message and he had also sent another message about an hour ago.Dominic: Hey, how are you doing? I called a few times. Call me back when you see this.Guilt settled in my stomach. I had been so lost in sleep that I hadn’t heard my phone ring. I tapped on his contact and called him back, my fingers trembling slightly.Gabby sat on the edge of my bed, watch

MARY'S POV."That little rat, I wish I could just yank his neck off his body this instant. How dare he spy on me?" I asked breathing heavily at the realization that I was about to drag down.Arlan aside, if Isla gets to find out about this, she will never look at me the same way again."I've built my reputation to be a submissive wife, respectful daughter in law and dutiful mother and all of that is about to come crashing down because of that idiot! I can't stand that let that happen." I told myself.I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms as I paced the room. "I have to do something very fast." I kept reminding myself as several thoughts ran through my mind but none of my ideas were good enough for the situation I had found myself.Ian thought he had me cornered, thought he had the upper hand? "That fool had no idea who he is dealing with, I will show him that I'm not to be disrespected.""But you have until tomorrow morning, what can you do before then?" A tiny voice ask

IAN'S POV."Awesome," I clapped my hands. "So Mary intends using Dominic to spy on Saraya. Guess I'm not the only one who is worked up about Saraya's existence." I said to myself."I've known she didn't care for Saraya like she claims to but I don't know Saraya made her so insecure she would go all the way.""Let's shake her up a little with this." I said staring at my phone before replaying the voice note."Isn't it too early to confront her? What if it goes down south?" A voice said in my head. "While it's still early, time is not on my side. With the way the company's shares have been plummeting since I took over, it's just a matter of time before those punch of greedy people start discussing my impeachment.""I'm in no position to consider the timing, even if it's just a straw, I have to grap it tightly with both hands and figure out a way to survive."I stood up and headed to her room with a victorious smile. "Let's see how she would react."I knocked twice on the door, taking a

SARAYA'S POV.I walked in feeling exhausted, at this point, there was no more tears coming out from my eyes.Gabby who had been waiting quickly rushed to me. "You gave me quite a scare, you wouldn't pick your phone..." She was saying when she finally looked up and saw my face. "Oh my, what happened?"I sank into her arms. "I hurt him, Gabby. I did."Gabby wrapped her arms around me, her grip firm and reassuring. "Who did you hurt?" she asked gently, stroking my hair."Dominic," I whispered, my voice hoarse. "He—he told me again he had feelings for me, and I... I couldn’t give him what he wanted."Gabby sighed, pulling back slightly to look me in the eyes. "Saraya, it’s not your fault. You can’t force yourself to love someone just because they love you.""But he’s been nothing but good to me," I said, my voice breaking. "He was there when I needed someone, when I was at my lowest. And instead of appreciating him the way he deserves, I—""You were honest," Gabby interrupted. "And that’s

SARAYA'S POV."Dominic, ever since I met you, you've been a good person and friend to me. I wouldn't want to jeopardize our friendship.""What are you scared of?" He asked."I'm scared of everything!" I snapped. "Letting someone new in and being vulnerable to them is something I don't want to do anytime soon.""I think it's time you let go.""What?" I asked like I didn't hear him the first time."I said it's time you let go of your obsession with Arlan." He said firmly, making me nervous. "He is never going to be yours, he is expecting a child with Matilda and if my memory serves me correctly, she should put to bed anytime from now."The realization in his words made my heart go cold. Dominic must've noticed how his words got to me but he didn't stop."Are you really going to stand between a father and a child because of your obsession?" He added.I felt the sting of his words like a slap across my face. Obsession? Is that what he thought this was?I let out a bitter laugh, shaking my
