His To Own Chapter 9: Private Club
KANE’s POV: “Want me to return the favor?” I asked casually, my eyes fixed on her, studying her every move.She froze at my words, her shoulders stiffening as her eyes widened. Anya had been unusually quiet since we left the theater and arrived at the restaurant.She kept shifting in her seat like it was too uncomfortable, her back stiff as she buried her nose in the menu. She’d been staring at it for the past five minutes—like a woman trying to convince herself she hadn’t just been on her knees moments ago, doing something she probably never thought she’d do.Even as she mumbled a faint, “No,” her eyes didn’t leave the menu.I grinned. Was she really trying to act like it never happened? Like she could just ignore it? Too bad for her—I wasn’t going to let that slide. By the end of this week, she’d remember everything.I couldn’t help but wonder what was going on in her head. Was she feeling guilty? Ashamed? Angry? Or maybe even disgusted? Or—better yet—did she like it?I’d bet on th

Anya’s POV: A private club? I wasn’t sure what horrified me more—the idea of stepping into a place like that with Kane, or the fact that he didn’t seem to care how I felt about it. I followed him to the car in silence, my thoughts in a never ending chaos. Why had he insisted on taking me along? He could have dropped me off back at the penthouse then I go to bed and be done with the day. As the car sped through the city, I stared out the window, my fingers gripping the seatbelt tightly. Neon lights blurred together, but I could feel his eyes on me. It was like he was waiting for me to say something. But what could I say? That I hated this? I had tried my best to hide how I felt around Kane. Even when he asked me how I felt about what happened at the theater, I said nothing. The truth? I was so embarrassed I wished the ground would just swallow me whole. God, I hadn’t done that—given head—since that one failed situationship back in my senior year of college. I felt… something, but

The handshake barely lasted a second, but the tension it left behind was suffocating. David’s smile didn’t waver as he looked between Kane, Liam, and me, but something about it felt unsettling, like there was more behind his charm than he let on.“Anya,” he said my name slowly, like it was some secret he’d just uncovered, his eyes narrowing slightly.“Well, it’s nice to meet you,” he added, his grin widening.“Nice to meet you too,” I replied, my voice awkward. He nodded, still smiling.“Okay, enough with the introductions. Would you like something to drink?” Kane asked, looking at me before refilling his cup. I shook my head.Drinking meant letting my guard down, and I wasn’t about to do that, not with Liam sitting there stiff as a board, and Kane and David acting like his presence didn’t matter. Besides, wine was the only alcohol I could handle. Anything else spelled disaster.“Here,” Kane said, bringing the glass to my lips. I wanted to scream no, I don’t want it, but instead, my l

I woke up to an empty house and a sticky note on the fridge from Cassie, saying my breakfast was in the microwave. At least someone cared whether I ate or not. I had missed breakfast like yesterday but this time I had actually slept in. It was already 11:15 a.m, and the silence in the house was deafening.Popping my breakfast out of the microwave, I settled at the dining table, slowly chewing the bacon and eggs. There was nothing for me to do here—no phone, no books, no idea if the TV even worked. Just me, alone with my thoughts.Where had Kane gone?"Anya, he's at work," I muttered to myself. "Not everyone is as jobless as you."After finishing the last piece of bacon, I cleared my plate and washed it. The spotless kitchen gleamed under the sunlight streaming in through the large windows. Wandering into the living room, I admired the clean, white décor again. This was exactly how I’d imagined my dream apartment back in college—minimalistic, sophisticated, and with floor-to-ceiling wi
Last Updated : 2025-02-28His To Own Chapter 13: Angry Kane
I can't say I didn't have the feeling that tonight was going to be another page in my book of nightmares.I struggled to free myself from Liam’s grip as he dragged me to a secluded area outside the venue.“Let go of me!” I hissed, finally managing to yank my wrist free. Rubbing the sore spot, I tried to ease the sharp ache in my hand.Liam’s eyes blazed with fury as he stepped closer. “You know, I always knew you were a whore,” he spat. “I let you go for one week—just one freaking week—and here you are, getting comfortable with another man putting his hands on you. Acting all high and mighty when you have a husband!”I flinched at his words, my hands trembling. I didn’t know what to say or how to respond. That deep-seated fear of Liam had always frozen me in place.“What?” he barked. “Are you mute now?”“What do you want me to say?” I whispered, barely able to meet his eyes.“You don’t feel guilty? Ashamed?” he growled, grabbing me by the neck and slamming me into the wall. The forc

"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

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
Last Updated : 2025-03-05His To Own Chapter 16: Finding Out
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

His To Own Chapter 30: I care about you
This was beyond awkward. The tension in the air was so suffocating, and the only sound was the clinking of utensils. I kept glancing between them, waiting for someone to speak because the silence was killing me.Then Liam finally opened his mouth.“Mr. Maxwell, I didn’t know you were into taking other people’s wives.”Oh, for the love of God. My breath caught as I looked at him in shock, then turned to Kane. But Kane didn’t seem fazed by the ridiculous comment.“I have to thank you for that, Mr. Ross,” Kane replied smoothly, a mocking smirk playing on his lips. He took a slow sip of water before continuing. “You’re the one who opened my eyes to it when you offered your wife to me. And then I thought, why not just take her from you instead?”What the hell was this conversation? I was here right.Desperate to change the subject, I forced a smile. “The breakfast is delicious. Rose is a really good cook.”Kane turned to me, grinning from ear to ear. “I think so too, love.”I froze. Love?
His To Own Chapter 29: Forgive him
"I know you're angry about how I acted and how things ended, but you have to understand—I had my reasons. It might sound like I'm making excuses, but I'm sorry, Anya.""I really am," Kane added, glancing at me before focusing back on the road, his voice gentle.I scoffed and looked away. I didn’t need his apology. He wasn’t even at fault. I was with him because of Liam. I was there to be at his beck and call."There’s no need to apologize. I was with you for a reason, so it wasn’t anything special," I said flatly, staring out the window."Even so, I still hope you can forgive me."I ignored him. Forgiving him wasn’t that simple. The way he had treated me hurt, and it reminded me how little control I had over my life. Everything I did was dictated by someone else."You can drop me off a few blocks from my house," I said, noticing we were almost there."No, I'll drop you at your door and walk you inside."I turned to him sharply. "Are you insane? If Liam or someone else sees me, then wh
His To Own Chapter 28:Back Home
ANYA’S POVI was getting discharged today, and as I packed my bags, I wished I could stay in the hospital a little longer. Don’t get me wrong I don’t exactly like how I got here or being strangled half to death but because of the peace and quiet.My father and Liam hadn’t visited me since that day. I’d like to say it was strange, but honestly, I wouldn’t have wanted to see either of them anyway. And I was actually relieved they stayed away—I didn’t need to hear any of their bullshit.With a sigh, I walked out of the room, saying a final goodbye to the nurse who had been looking after me. As I stepped outside, I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath. The fresh air hit my face, giving me a brief moment of peace even though I knew I was walking right back into a war zone.My father was supposed to pick me up, but he canceled at the last minute and left me money to call an Uber. The problem? I didn’t have my phone, and I didn’t want to bother the nurses. So, I figured I’d just take a t
His To Own Chapter 27: What I Want
"I can’t say it’s nice to see you, Mr. Ross," I said, moving to sit on the couch beside Daniel, who already looked irritated."I called you several times to set up a meeting," Liam said, walking over to stand in front of us before taking a seat. My jaw clenched. Fucker thinks we’re buddies now."And he thinks we’re buddies now," Daniel said, voicing my thoughts out loud, his tone sharp. "No one asked you to sit, but of course, it’s nothing to worry about."Liam’s face remained unreadable, and I had to summon every ounce of self-control not to reach over and strangle him—like he did to her. I closed my eyes, taking deep breaths to stay calm."I’m leaving before I do something I shouldn’t," Daniel sighed, getting up. He shot Liam one last glare before walking out of my office.I turned back to Liam. "What brings you to my office, Mr. Ross?"I already knew why he was here—the bastard wanted something."It’s about the money I owe," he started, stiff on the couch.I scoffed. For someone
His To Own Chapter 26: Livid
Kane’s povI didn’t know what I was thinking, showing up at the hospital like that. I had no right to be there after how things ended between us. Hell, I had planned to wait, to bide my time until she was completely mine. But the moment I heard she was rushed to the hospital after leaving my house, I panicked. That panic quickly turned into anger—at him, at myself.Fuck. I knew she wouldn’t be safe going back to him, but I let her go anyway. I had no idea he’d try something this soon. It hadn’t even been 24 hours, and that bastard already put his filthy hands on her—on my Anya.The first thing I did was call the hospital to ask how she was. Of course, they refused to give me any information—some bullshit about “privacy policies.” But having money and power comes in handy. Liam had made sure the news didn’t get out, covering up both her hospitalization and the fact that he was the reason she was there. Cheeky bastard.A mild concussion. A bruised rib.I saw red.I thought of every poss
His To Own CHAPTER 25: pregnant? For Liam?
My father stormed in, pulling Liam off me. I gasped for air, coughing as my throat burned. My vision blurred as I struggled to catch my breath."Get your hands off my daughter!" My father’s voice vibrated through the room."You and your daughter are the worst thing that ever happened to me! My life is falling apart because of you. Both of you!" Liam yelled, his face twisted with rage."Because of us?" My father scoffed. "No, Liam. Your life is falling apart because of you—because of your greed. You’re just looking for someone to take your frustrations out on."I hadn’t been happy to see my father in a long time, but today, I was grateful. If he hadn’t shown up, Liam might have strangled me to death.Liam let out a bitter chuckle. "It’s funny how you think you have a choice. You gave her to me in exchange for my investment. She belongs to me whether you like it or not, and I’ll do as I please with her.""Would I have ever agreed to it if I knew you were such a scumbag?" My father snapp
His To Own Chapter 24: Hospital Drama
The sound of the door creaking open pulled me out of sleep. I stayed still, listening. It had to be my father, ready to start another day with an argument I didn’t have the energy for. So, I kept my eyes closed and pretended to be asleep.I had managed to sleep after breakfast this morning, but only because I had spent the entire night thinking. Thinking about what exactly? A lot.Footsteps moved across the room—slow and careful. This wasn’t my father. He never moved this quietly.I forced myself to breathe evenly, fighting the urge to sit up and see who it was. Then, the mattress dipped slightly. A hand reached up and gently caressed my face.“You know you’re really bad at pretending,” a voice said, playful yet familiar.Kane. Freaking Kane.Why was this asshole here? My eyes flew open, wide with shock.“What are you doing here? Why are you here?” I blurted out, sitting up, my gaze darting between him and the door.He chuckled. “Slow down, Anya,” he said, reaching for the plaster on
His To Own Chapter 23: Better Future?
A steady beeping sound filled my ears as I slowly opened my eyes. The bright white light above made me squint, and for a moment, everything felt blurry.I blinked a few times, adjusting to my surroundings. The room smelled of antiseptic, and the soft hum of machines echoed around me. I was in a hospital.A woman in a light blue uniform stood beside my bed, checking something on a clipboard. She looked up and noticed me staring."Oh, you’re awake," she said with a small smile. "Please don’t try to move too much. I’ll go get the doctor."She quickly walked out of the room, leaving me alone. My head ached, and my body felt weak. I swallowed, my throat dry. What happened? How did I get here?Memories slowly started coming back—Liam, the argument, my father and I in his car talking and then… nothing.I exhaled slightly, scanning the room for any sign of my father. He wasn’t here. I guess he left.A few moments later, the door opened, and a middle-aged man with short brown hair and glasses
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.
