15. A Drunken Kiss

I was so pissed off after that stupid comment mom told me that I came to a club. Heck, I just wanted a drink. I was on my third and I knew, although I didn’t get drunk easily, I would still have a hangover tomorrow. Just when I was beginning to lose all the annoying thoughts in my head. A woman came and sat on the stool next to me.
"Hey handsome, mind if I join?" She asked in a flirty tone. I didn’t even bother glancing at her. If I wanted a woman, I would get one, but today I was not in the mood. That comment had really irked me so bad! Sugar mama… she wasn’t even that much older than me! How the hell did they even come up with that? Dahlia El Nazari. The woman was troubling me outside of work too.
"Mind if I buy you a drink?" The woman next to me said. I now frowned and glared at her. She was pretty enough. Large green eyes, auburn hair, wearing a purple dress which left little to the imagination.
"Didn’t you get the hint the first time?" I sai

DAHLIA I awoke with a gasp; I had just dreamt of kissing Dane again. Just the thought of his lips on mine made my stomach flutter, a pleasant throb settling in the very pit of my stomach. Dane… was I crushing on him? I couldn’t deny there was an attraction there. I sighed, sitting up trying to ignore the ache between my legs. After showering, I got dressed in a pale-yellow knee-length dress. Pairing it with a cropped white jacket and heels. I applied the usual eyeliner, mascara and lipstick. My skin was clear and apart from occasions, I wouldn’t really wear foundation. I left my hair open as I decided to go see if he was awake. After the state he was in last night, he would need some painkillers. I entered his room silently, to see him still asleep. His arm was over his forehead and his shirt had risen a little, showing off his defined V. I looked away, placing the painkillers and water on the bedside table. I walked to the curtain and pulled them open, letti

DANE I had seen Dahlia leaving in a hurry. Since she had received that parcel in the morning she had been lost in thought. Even when I had needed her signature she had been lost in thought. I had pretended I didn’t remember last night, and it was for the best. It had been an intoxicated mistake. I don’t even know why I kissed her, even if she was a sexy doll. She was still a rich spoilt princess. The more I said that the more it felt unconvincing. I tried not to remember how she had removed my shoes or tucked me in. Damn it was embarrassing. What annoyed me the most was I had been there in that house but hadn’t been able to look around. It had been absolutely pointless. Well, that kiss… I frowned. That kiss shouldn’t have happened. I needed to keep telling myself that firmly. I pressed the button on the intercom. “Ms Thorn ask Ms El Nazari’s assistant to bring me the files she was to sign. I’ll do them.” I had a little time so why not, I guess

DAHLIA I had made my way to my fathers’ house and headed upstairs to his bedroom. The house staff had told me he hadn’t been fit enough to leave the bed today. Also, it seemed like Amal had decided to go out. It hurt to know that he was alone at such a time. I didn’t like the woman much, but the fact she wasn’t here for my father upset me even more. I sighed and placed a smile on my face. Conceal and appear content. I took a deep breath before I entered the room. It was a luxurious room decorated in marble, cream wall panelling and gold borders. The ceiling was stone with intricate patterns, a huge chandelier was in the centre. The embroidered cream curtains were open, and the sun shone through the windows. The huge king-sized bed was covered in embroidered Egyptian cotton bedding with several pillows. I almost cried seeing the state my father was in. Gone was the wig he wore during the day. He had lost his hair thanks to chemo. He looked so weak and haggard,

DANE It was evening by the time I got off work and I headed straight to the diner. I knew mom would take her break soon and I wanted answers. It was a cosy place with brick walls, canvases and paintings hung up all around. Some with slogans or quotes and others just artwork. Lanterns hung off the wall and from the ceiling. The tables were heavy wood and there were three battered burnt orange couches to one side. A dartboard stood to the side as well as a huge board where customers could post pictures. I never understood it, but people loved it. We had never removed anything from it and sometimes years later, people came back to look for their old images. It literally covered almost a full wall. A mix of music was playing from the jukebox and there was a mix of aged people sitting around. I took a seat on one of the bright coloured chairs and waited to the side with a cup of coffee, watching her rush around. It seemed they were short on a server tonigh

DAHLIA I was shocked, to say the least. Watching him bite into the hot cheesy quesadilla, for once I had no words. I simply gave him a small smile before I picked up one of the pizza pastries. How could I refuse when he had made the effort? Right now, I needed some sort of comfort, although he was not the one I had expected it from. I took a small bite, brushing a crumb from my lips. I felt broken after that argument with Baba. Sometimes I felt so alone in this world, no matter how many friends, social events or what wealth I had. In the end, it didn’t even matter. I had Zara, but she didn’t entirely understand this. She was from a wealthy family too and although she was sympathetic, she couldn’t really relate. “Want to talk about it?” He asked, his deep voice taking me by surprise. I looked up at him as ‘My Heart Will Go On’ began playing on the jukebox. “Am I that obvious?” I asked. “You look a mess.” I
Last Updated : 2021-09-04Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 21. His Anger
DAHLIA The next day, the weather was as gloomy and as dark as I felt inside. Even when I pulled on my mint organza blouse that outlined my ivory bra I wore beneath it slightly, and paired it with an ivory pencil skirt in an attempt to lighten my mood, nothing helped. I had my hair plaited over my shoulder in a loose braid, with a few strands framing my face. I put on subtle makeup with a pop of pink lipstick. I paused, was I only trying to cheer myself up or was there more? Last night I couldn’t sleep. Thoughts of Dane swam in my head. The way he had obviously tried to cheer me up by joining me, I mean, why else did he sit down and eat with me? Then I went on to wonder how come he was helping out at the dinner. Was it his family’s? Or was he helping a friend? Perhaps I should check his file. Not to mention Elizabeth’s intimate behaviour towards him, despite her being so sweet towards me, I still felt a little uncomfortable. I had now dropped Aria

DAHLIA His eyes seemed to darken and I saw him swallow. His hands moved from the table and my heart was going crazy. Don’t do this Dahlia. You can’t. When I felt his hand grip my waist, sending strong sparks through me, whilst the other threaded through my hair. I tensed and held his face firmly, refusing to let him close the gap. “We can’t…” I whispered, feeling annoyed with myself. I was the one who told him to kiss me. I saw the flash of emotions swim in his eyes before his face returned to their usual cold emotionless. However, his hands didn’t leave me. “Do you enjoy playing games, Ms El Nazari?” He asked coldly. I bit my lip, letting go of him and not knowing what to do with my hands, instead placed them against my chest. “I was just trying to surprise you… You were angry, so you know... Just trying to distract you.” I replied. Liar. I was an awful liar; I’d be surprised if he fell for it but I had no other option. I wasn’t sure if my emotions w
Last Updated : 2021-09-06Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 23. Catching You Once Again
DANE She left the office and I ran my hand through my hair, closing my eyes. ‘Kiss me.’ Her words still ran through my mind, making pleasure rush south. I dropped into my seat. I knew she had wanted me to, I had seen the way her breasts rose and fell. The way her eyes were dilated and the way she held my face. Those words were so sexy too. Demanding yet sensual… I rested my chin on my knuckles. Last night, I had seen the hurt in her eyes when I told Elizabeth that she was nothing to me but a work colleague. I just didn’t want Elizabeth telling mom who she was, or for Elizabeth to hound me about her. We had a complicated past. Although we never dated, nor have I ever seen her in that way, there was a time when Elizabeth was in love with me. I made a mistake once, my anger got the better of me and it cost Elizabeth a lot. I wish I could turn back time and change it, but I couldn’t. I had to live with the consequences and my

Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 87. Epilogue
TWO AND A HALF YEARS LATER… DAHLIA "Careful there Cain!" Dane’s mother scolded her grandson despite the smile on her face. "You will get your mother's clothes dirty." She kissed the chubby little boy on his cheek. He pouted as he tugged at her necklace. I smiled watching them, my little boy with his large grey eyes like mine and his hair was the same as his father and sister. "Let me fix that for you." Amanda said adjusting my veil that Cain had just tugged. I looked in the mirror, I was dressed in a stunning white wedding dress with jewels and beads. My hair that now almost reached my waist, was open and in its natural curls, pinned back in an elegant puff. The scar on my face was faint and I didn’t hide it any longer. My face glowed with the dewy makeup my stylist had applied, and my jewellery glittering. Today was the day I was to marry the love of my life. Dane. Life had changed so much since the day we ended Joaqui

DAHLIA I didn’t know where he had taken me or why he had the sudden need to come out with his true identity. We hadn’t driven far when the van stopped and I was being dragged out of it, all I could see was it was some sort of car park. My stomach sank as he pulled me into the darkness and down the ramp to the lower floor, I couldn’t see anything much and I did my all not to stumble whilst Joaquin didn’t seem to care. There were a few dim lights but for the most part, it was dark here. He pushed me against a post and began tying me to it roughly, I winced when the rough rope singed my skin. "I’ll make quick work of this." He muttered. My stomach twisted in fear, what was he planning? Every worst-case scenario flitted through my mind and I just felt sick. Maria… Zara… Amal, who was carrying his child… Kendra, who could have been his daughter… The moment he removed the cloth from around my mouth I thought of what I could say.
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 85. The Last Dance
DAHLIA It had been a few weeks since Kendra’s body had been found and Dane had stayed true to his word. Emily would not get away with it and the doctor who had attended to Aria had given his statement. I was officially free from Warren completely and I couldn’t be happier. Dane’s relationship with his family had been strained, but regardless of that fact, I had invited them to our engagement. I knew deep down, they were still his parents, and I also knew they would treat Aria well. They had treated her well before too. I just hoped one-day things would work out. Family was not always pleasant, and many of us had parents who made mistakes, but that does not mean we should immediately disown them. I just hoped with time things would work out and they would realise what they were missing, because I would love it if Aria had more family around. The news of my engagement and pregnancy was swirling around, but we had not confir
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 84. Family
DAHLIA My heart was racing as he spoke those words. Dane was proposing. My chest rose and fell as I tried to speak. My throat felt dry and I got choked up. He reached over and took the ring from my fingers. His gorgeous dreamy hazel eyes looking into mine for an answer. I couldn’t reply, so I nodded. Breathing deeply as I held my hand out. A devilish sexy smirk crossed his lips. "Use your words, princess." He purred teasingly. I poked my eyes at him. "Yes, I would love to." I whispered, holding my hand out to him. He took it, kissing it softly before he slipped the stunning ring onto my finger. "I love it, and I love you." I said, cupping his face as he stood up and pulled me into his arms. I kissed him passionately, hoping he could feel all my love for him in that kiss. He moved away when I gasped for air and I smiled at him. "Love you too, princess." He said running his fingers through my hair.
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 83. Date Night
DAHLIA It had been a few days since we had visited Devin in the hospital, yet still we were unable to track Kendra down. Although Dane did tell me that there was a high chance she may be dead. I just hoped it wasn’t the case, for Devin at least. Malcolm had tried to find more details on Kendra’s birth father, but he wasn’t even mentioned on the birth certificate. There were a few places Malcolm went to ask around, people who knew her mother, but he had drawn another blank. Tonight, Dane was taking me out. He had said it had been a while since we got a break and just a change would be good for us both. I was excited about it. I had taken some time to pick out a crystal-encrusted mini dress, which I wore over a nude bodysuit that emphasised my curves. The dress had a high collar and shoulder pads, which only had more tassels. It was probably the shortest dress I’ve worn, the dangly bling strands just about covering my behind, but it felt right. I paired it with silver
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 82. The Slums
DANE Was she a woman or an angel? She was so selfless that here she was willing to help the brother of her ex-husband's mistress… I had seen her looking around the hospital earlier with a frown on her face. "I haven’t got the money for the bills, and the doctors said they can’t keep me on dialysis-" "Devin. I’m here. Don’t worry. I’ve paid the bills on Kendra’s behalf. No one will bother you. Calm down." Dahlia said, placing her hand on the boy’s shoulder. He noticed the cuts on her hands and looked at her sharply. "What happened to your hands?" "I… was attacked." She said, giving him a small smile. "Oh… I’m sorry…" "It’s ok, I’m alive. That’s the important part…" Dahlia stated with a gentle smile, "Is it ok, if I take a seat?" "Of course, any friend of Kendra’s is a friend of mine. I mean… I don’t really have friends, so…" "Do you get to go out?" "Yeah, if someone takes me, but Kendra’s busy… Sh
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 81. A Patient
DAHLIA It was several days later and luckily, it seemed like that was the end of Emily. There was nothing she could do to us or try to claim Aria. There was plenty of proof of her neglect, after all the doctor had seen the state Aria was in when I had taken her to the hospital that night. Thanks to the cold that night I had fallen ill too. We had to go through legal terms to register her as there was no proof of any child being born in any hospital in the city that was unaccounted for, there was no way she could do anything. Today, Dane and I had decided to head to Maria’s old apartment. We had planned to ask them if there was anything they saw or heard before Maria was killed but we had drawn a blank. Maria’s friend had passed away and her son had renovated the entire building and had a shop built in its place. "Another dead end." Dane said, tapping the steering wheel as we drove away. "Dane, shall we visit The Hope Trust Hospital? Kendra’s brothers
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 80. Emily
DANE There was only one Emily I knew, and for her to be here… felt unreal. I was done and dusted with her, so why now? I didn’t need her, nor did I want her anywhere near Aria or Dahlia. I looked towards Dahlia, who was standing there looking stunned. Her large eyes were full of emotions, her chest heaving. "One moment…" I said to the watchman. Closing the door, I walked over to Dahlia. I was about to pull her into my arms when she stepped back, sending a stinging pain through me. Her breathing was heavy, and I could tell she was beginning to panic. "Don’t worry… She cannot come between us… or Aria. If she thinks she can worm her way back in, then she has another thing coming." I said quietly, tugging her by the elbow. I pulled her into my arms forcefully. I didn't care if she wanted to or not, I needed this. "Have faith in yourself beautiful, and in me… No one can mess this up." She nodded, but I could still feel her shaking. I didn’t
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 79. Shower Kisses
DANE We had just arrived home when we heard Aria laughing as she and Hadid sang some Arabian song. "Finally home…" Dahlia said with relief. I was glad she was feeling better now. "Home indeed, speaking of which… I have a few things I wanted to show you." "Sounds perfect." She said. "Mama!" Aria said as she hurried over. Dahlia hurried forward worriedly. "Careful Ari." She scolded lightly catching her carefully and kissing her head. "Mama, Grandpapa and I are singing songs!" She said. "That’s lovely, now how about you go and enjoy yourself? Mama will go shower and then we will join you all for some pizza?" "Oo yummy! Takeaway?!" "Yes." Dahlia laughed. Aria gave me a hug before she walked off to tell Hadid. Dahlia stood up, smiling as she turned to look at me, taking her coat off slowly. If only she realised how enticing that move was… "Mind ordering?" "Not at
