His To Own Chapter 22: Hospital
Liam scoffed at my father’s voice, running a hand through his hair. He shot me a glare before walking to the door. I heard it open as I slid down the counter, my vision blurring as blood dripped down my face.“I don’t remember inviting you, so why are you here?” Liam asked, his voice cold.My father scoffed. “I’m not here for you. I’m here to see my daughter.”“You can’t see her. Leave.”“Like I need your permission,” my father chuckled before pushing his way in. Liam slammed the door shut behind him.I groaned softly, struggling to clear my vision and endure the burning pain in my face, stomach, and head.“You’re not allowed in my house. Haven’t I made that clear?” Liam yelled.“Take your hands off me! I don’t care if I’m allowed or not. I haven’t heard from Anya in a week, and I want to see her.” My father’s voice was just as loud.I was stunned. Since when did he care? Maybe he just wanted something. But challenging Liam like this? A terrible idea.“Anya? Anya….” my father called.

Without saying anything to Liam, I let go of her arm and walked back to the kitchen to finish my breakfast. I heard them follow behind me, the front door shutting as they entered. I tried to eat quickly because whatever was about to unfold, I needed the strength to deal with it.“Babe, this… this woman has been nothing but hostile to me,” she rushed out, her voice grating on my nerves. “First, she shoved her way in rudely, called me a whore, and yanked my hair and arm so harshly.”She dramatically held up her arm. “Look, I’m all bruised up!”“Leave.”Liam’s voice was cold, making me pause. I looked up at them—she wore a shocked expression, while Liam’s gaze was fixed on me.“W-What?” she stuttered.“You heard me. Get your things and leave. Don’t make me say it again.”If I wasn’t in such a sour mood, this would’ve actually been entertaining enough to make me smile. Poor thing had so much hope in her man.She scoffed and stormed into his room to grab her things. When she walked back ou

“Cassie, what’s wrong?” I asked, rubbing my eyes as I opened the bedroom door.“Sorry to disturb you, Mrs. Anya, but you need to get ready right now,” she said, looking at me with an apologetic expression.“Why? What’s going on? Did something happen?” I asked hurriedly, now fully awake.“No, everything is fine. Mr. Kane asked me to let you know that the driver taking you home is waiting downstairs. You need to leave quickly,” she said in a quiet tone, as if trying to soften the blow.My chest tightened. I took a deep breath, but it felt like I had been thrown into freezing water.“What? Why? It's still so early” “I’m sorry Mrs Anya those were his instruction”“He..he didn’t say why at least?” “No he didn’t”“Oh… I… okay. Give me a minute,” I stuttered, glancing around the room, struggling to process what was happening.He really treated me like some random prostitute—used for one night and discarded the next morning. Everything he said before we slept together had been meaningless.

I spent the rest of the day in my room, lost in thought. I didn’t know how to feel—confused, guilty, frustrated. Last night felt like it meant something, but Kane’s silence and cold attitude made it clear that it didn’t. By evening, I heard his voice through the walls—low at first, then sharp and filled with anger. I couldn’t make out the full conversation, but whoever was on the other end wasn’t getting kindness from him. Then, just as suddenly as it started, it stopped. A few minutes later, the front door slammed shut. Kane had left. And for some reason, the house felt even quieter than before. A little while later, the front door opened again, followed by the sound of footsteps clicking against the floor. Was he back already? I sighed, staring at the ceiling for a moment before finally pushing myself off the bed. Sitting here alone wasn’t helping. Maybe a glass of wine would calm my nerves. I wanted to avoid going downstairs to see him, but I needed that wine more. Steppin

I woke up in Kane’s bed, my whole body sore—a painful reminder of last night. Groaning softly, I turned to my side, my tired eyes drifting to where Kane was supposed to be. The sheets were cold. He’d been gone for a while.Rubbing my eyes, I tried to shake off the sleep. I wasn’t sure what I expected this morning to feel like, but it wasn’t this.Kane was gone.Wrapping the blanket around myself, I listened for any sound in the house, but it was silent—too silent. I sighed, my mind racing. What did last night mean to him? What did it mean for me? Sure, I had stepped out of my marriage—not because I wanted to, but because that was what I was here for. Still, last night had been the best I’d had in years and with the way he had acted last night I at least expected a warm good morning or maybe I was asking for too much.A growl from my stomach pulled me out of my thoughts. I got off the bed, still wrapped in the blanket, and picked up my scattered clothes from the floor. After dressing,

Anya's pov: “Does he hit you often?”His question froze me in place. Why was he asking me that? Did he know what happened that night? But how? My mind raced with a million thoughts.Kane pulled back slightly, his hands still resting gently on my arms. His intense gaze bore into me, making my stomach turn with nervousness.“Anya, I asked if Liam hits you,” he repeated, his voice soft, but worry was clear in his dark eyes. “Are you in an abusive marriage?”“What are you talking about? Of course not,” I answered quickly, forcing out a nervous chuckle as I avoided his gaze.From the corner of my eye, I saw his jaw clench. He let his hands fall to his sides, and the warmth in his eyes was replaced with coldness and anger.“So he does,” he muttered, almost to himself.“No… no, he doesn’t. I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I stammered, the lie leaving my mouth faster than I could think. I couldn’t let Kane know the truth. My ‘happy marriage’ was nothing but a facade, and I had to pro

Kane's Pov:I was doing my best to avoid her by not going to the penthouse last night and I didn't think I was planning to go there today either. That night hadn't exactly gone how I planned and I couldn't help the anger that consumed me when she had told me she stepped out with Kane after I told her to stay where she was. Was she that eager to reunite with him? And then Liam showed up, looking smug, which only fueled my anger further. I couldn’t stop thinking about what they had spoken about or if he had said something bad about me to make her scared of me. The questions tormented me, making it impossible to focus on my work. Did she tell him everything that happened between us? She claimed she didn’t, but I couldn’t bring myself to believe her.I had ever plan to take things all the way and actually fuck her like I had imagine countless time but when I saw her eyes filled with tears I just couldn't go through with it. And when she flinched as I moved closer, it felt like a knife h

Kane hadn’t returned home yesterday. In fact, I hadn’t seen him since he said goodnight two days ago. It was already 2 p.m. today, and there was still no sign of him.“Anya, are you sure you don’t want me to make you something for lunch?” Cassie asked for the third time since I sat on the couch, absent-mindedly staring at the TV.“No, I’m not hungry, but thank you for asking, Cassie,” I replied softly.She nodded and walked back into the kitchen.I’d done my best to avoid Cassie yesterday because of the slight bruise on my face and cheek. I didn’t think she’d noticed—if she had, she would’ve made a big fuss about it. Today, the bruise was a bit better, the discoloration fading slightly. I’d also layered on makeup to make it less noticeable. Still, I couldn’t help but sigh.Two days left until I returned to my misery.As much as I felt guilty that Kane might have been avoiding his own home because of me, I couldn’t deny how much I enjoyed the peace and quiet. Just Cassie and the TV kep

"I don't like being ignored, Anya," Kane hissed as we walked into his penthouse. I stayed silent, the way I always did when Liam was angry. I didn’t understand why Kane was so upset about me meeting Liam. It wasn’t like I wanted to see him in the first place. Kane exhaled sharply, running a hand through his dark hair. I stood there, waiting—for what, I wasn’t sure. Maybe for him to calm down. “I asked you a question, Anya,” he said harshly. “No,” I answered softly. “Why don’t I believe you, hmm?” Great. Now I was a liar. All I wanted was to be left alone. My face hurt, my palms stung, and the corner of my lips ached. I just wanted to crawl into bed and cry myself to sleep. I didn’t have the strength to explain what had happened with Liam, so I said nothing, just staring at Kane blankly. He moved toward me in quick, deliberate steps, and for a split second, the thought of Liam hitting me flashed in my mind. I flinched, instinctively raising my hands to cover my face and h

CHAPTER 1: TENSION
I hated parties like this—filled with hypocrites who thought they were better than everyone else just because they had money. I had experienced their two-faced nature firsthand, so I’d resorted to sitting quietly, smiling politely, and throwing in a few compliments here and there to keep the peace.My cheeks were starting to hurt from smiling all night, playing the role of the “perfect wife” while making small talk with women who saw me as competition. They wouldn’t hesitate to stab me in the back the moment I turned around.Honestly, I didn’t even know why I was at this party. It’s not like I was invited. Liam occasionally dragged me to these events, but I wasn’t required to be at this one.“You’re so lucky to have Liam as your husband,” said a blonde woman sitting next to me. Her voice dripped with fake sweetness. “He’s kind, handsome, successful, and he treats you so well. Bringing you to parties and never leaving your side—he’s every woman’s dream.”More like every woman’s nightma...
