Daphne's PoV

The fragrant smell of cooking disturbed my senses. I woke up, and Asher was still asleep next to me. I slowly got out of bed so as not to wake Asher and opened the bedroom door slowly. I walked down the stairs slowly and headed towards the kitchen. Marisa was there. He was cooking this early. The puppy that caught me and Asher kissing yesterday was his.

"You're awake, Daphne. It's still early," Marisa said while chopping onions. She seemed to be making a soup that looked very delicious.

"Why are you up so early when everyone else still sleeps?" I smiled and approached Marisa. She was a very generous woman.

"I'm used to it. You know that I'm a nurse, and my job is to take care of people. I was used to serving, and well... that was that. That habit even carries over to the house."

I listened to Marisa as I watched her chop the herbs and put some in. The oven dinged, and Marisa rushed to put on her gloves while I watched because I couldn't cook and didn't know how to use th

    Daphne's PoVDad has turned into a family man since he's been here. Dad always put the home first. He'd rather take care of the dog, tend the apple orchard in the backyard, and water the flowers in the afternoon than be in a cold room with executive people. Marisa made a big difference in my father. He used to have a stiff smile, but now he's much warmer and livelier. He was like a happy bird flying through the sky. I stood at the window. Observing my father and Marisa drinking tea together while chatting. "How was your trip with Daphne?"Marisa poured more tea into Dad's cup. She looked very excited for a super busy nurse. I thought Marisa was a young woman who was always dressed up. Even now, Marisa doesn't wear any makeup at all. She just wears a t-shirt and knee-length pants and ties her hair up. Such a simple person. I know that you love her for something else. Maybe it's because she's kind and very motherly."It's so nice, darling. Daphne is very spirited. She'll make a good a

    Daphne's POV"How's this?" I showed Asher all the clothes in the suitcase. I bought summer clothes at the mall before arriving at this house. I regretted leaving my suitcase at the airport because I didn't think all the winter clothes were necessary. Asher wore a black bow tie. He combs his hair and puts on some hair gel to set the ends of his hair so that it puffs up more. I'm still not dressed in anything right now. Just wearing full makeup on my face. "Just wear what you think is good. You said yourself that these are all summer-appropriate clothes," Asher said lightly. I knew that Asher was insinuating that I was stubborn enough not to listen to his suggestion to buy some cover-ups. "I didn't know there was a dinner." I dodged. "Suit yourself, darling. Better just accept the consequences of your stubbornness." Asher rubbed my cheek. He seemed to be ignoring my confusion right now. Asher then went downstairs. "I'll wait downstairs, dear."I sighed with great confusion. All thes

  • Seducing My Daddy's Friend   Marisa Past

    Daphne's PoV"Who is she, Marisa?" Morgan gave Marisa a sharp look. I got the feeling that Morgan and Marisa had a previous relationship from how Morgan stared at Marisa, and Marisa now looked very tense."As you heard, Morgan," Marisa answered shakily. She squeezed the wallet in her hand. Morgan saw Marisa's uncomfortable gesture, and he grinned. This evil man took satisfaction in seeing someone scared."I can't believe it. How could you possibly have a child this big when the doctor himself told me to my face seven years ago that you could never have a child from your womb? You're lying, Marisa. She's not your child. Why are you covering up your shortcomings by lying? Admit it, Marisa. You will never have a child." Morgan chided Marisa, who was now trying hard to hide her tears. I narrowed my eyes at Morgan for his rude behavior that hurt Marisa. I don't know who this man is, but I think I should interfere because Marisa is my mother now."So what if I'm infertile, Morgan? You're no

    Daphne's PoVDad and Asher walked towards us. But Morgan had already left first after he visibly trembled when I told him my father's big name and who was dealing with him now."Why are you still here?" Dad kissed the cheek of Marisa, who forced herself to smile widely."Who were you talking to, honey?" Asher asked me."It's no one. Just an old acquaintance of mine." Marisa answered Asher's question quickly. Asher furrowed his brow. Feeling strange about Marisa's sudden answer when she was asking me. I just shrugged. Marisa must have had a good reason to conceal the identity of her evil ex-fiancé, or she might not have wanted to mess up her first dinner with me. I respected Marisa's decision to choose secrecy rather than cause trouble on our first night as a family.This moment was too precious to mess up."Let's go to our table now. I'm already starving." Father embraced Marisa with enthusiasm. I wrapped my hand around Asher's arm. We walked hand in hand to our reserved table."Are y

    Joan's PoVI wanted nothing more in this world after I felt how warm my feelings were. As a man, I obviously couldn't show how sad and lonely I was, and I chose to remain silent, holding back all my feelings and bottling them up until I lost my desire. Drowning myself in the endless whirlpool of business that dragged me deeper and deeper into the endless grind until I met Marisa, and now my daughter has taken her as her mother. I feel like I have a home again now."Dad, you should teach that jerk a lesson," Daphne told me passionately. I just smiled a simple smile. Marisa had already said those were her bad memories and would never bring them up or look at them again."What should I do, Daphne? Throw him in jail or eliminate him? "Imagine if she felt the pain before death after dad used a hitman. Wouldn't you feel guilty?" I turned to look at my daughter. Daphne just shrugged her shoulders. She said she didn't care about that. She was just upset. I know how emotional young women can b

    Joan's PoVDaphne's overly harsh attitude earlier made me believe that she was still a girl who couldn't control her emotions. I'm afraid Daphne might be carried away by the momentary euphoria that made her like Marisa so much. I'm so scared that someday, Daphne will change her mind and won't like Marisa anymore. And by the time it happened, it was already too late.I joined Asher, who was relaxing in the backyard. Her hand was holding a glass of wine. "Where is she?" I asked Asher. Asher said that Daphne had gone into the house to rest.I took the wine glass in Asher's hand and drained the contents in one gulp. Asher didn't seem to mind. He just glanced at me and refocused on looking at the sky. I didn't know if I could tell Asher this, share my heart as a fellow man who could make us connect in a thread called feelings."I hope you're not sitting beside me to discuss your problems." Asher snapped. I snorted. Despite his antipathetic words, I still wanted to share the problem I was h

I thought your father wouldn't be so stupid as to make you angry." Asher hugged me tightly. I brushed it off. What the hell? I suspect that Asher and my father are both prejudiced against me.I distanced myself from Asher. How could he think I was pretending all this time? I didn't expect everyone here to feel that I was a two-faced hypocrite."I didn't expect you to think that superficially about me," I said coldly. Asher stood before me in confusion. I expected it. He's going to be evasive after this."I'm not accusing you, dear. Your father started it. He's just worried. ....""And you must support all his opinions because you're his friend." I cut Asher off quickly.Asher stepped closer. I moved back. "I'm not supporting anyone here. I'm just suggesting that he talk to you, that's all."

    Joan's PoV"You're too old. I'm too young. What kind of nonsense is this? Everyone has the right to do whatever they want for the people they love!"Daphne encouraged me as I felt I would tell Marisa through casual conversation. Then we'll negotiate a wedding with the concept we want."All women want a romantic proposal," Daphne told me. She flicked her bangs out of her face. Daphne snapped her nails. "Dad, if Asher proposed to me very, very simply, and I wasn't surprised, I wouldn't marry him.""But you love him, don't you?"Daphne's eyes rolled back. "I do love him. But he doesn't love me. If he loves me, he'll do whatever makes me feel good. Whatever the ladies want. Don't be too rational. It has to do with feelings."I nodded. It didn't seem appropriate at this age to propose to Marisa with the proposal that Daphne suggested. But Daphne urged me so much and convinced me that it was what women wanted. I don't know if Marisa has ever enjoyed a romantic proposal before. For all I kno

I haven't been happy about Asher leaving on his business trip lately. I don't know. I felt jealous that Asher's attention wasn't focused entirely on our little family. I even removed myself from my father's legacy company and had my confidant take care of it even though I monitored his business movements. But I'm not fully there anymore because I want to dedicate my life to caring for our precious Cecilio.Asher just shrugged. He kissed me and kissed Cecilio some more.

    Daphne's POV"I'm not pregnant. No way."I turned around and tried to deny it. Asher narrowed his eyes, coming closer. I took three steps away from him. My emotions were in turmoil. I didn't even dare to touch my own stomach. This feels... like a dream. I was going to be a mother.In a few seconds, the image of my mother appeared in my mind, like a meteor that suddenly passed by in the summer sky and then disappeared instantly. I could feel again how tender and warm my mother's love was. Being a mother is a form of great responsibility full of complex problems and a lot of love.I can't believe I'm about to experience it, too."Honey?" Asher called out to me. I turned my head towards my handsome husband. Asher looked stiff now, and he said carefully."Are you... are you child-free?"This strange feeling seemed like rejection and denial to Asher. He could only judge the outside. But me, this child is inside me, and she will grow. It's like climbing the top tower of happiness to get a c

We spent the whole week swimming, snorkelling, sunbathing, making hot love on the beach and letting our naked bodies burn in the sun. Then, it was all over again at night, making love under the stars."I want more kids from you, baby," Asher told me before he moaned on top of me and dropped his body. I smiled satisfactorily at Asher's sweaty face, and he always kissed me afterwards."I meant what I said, baby." Asher reiterated his desire for me. He took my casual attitude as insincerity."I'm also serious about giving you whatever you want, My sugar daddy." My hand mischievously played with his nipple. Asher let out a long sigh, and he stiffened again."Nasty girl. You're naughty, sweetheart.""Yes, Daddy?""You must get punished." Asher narrowed his eyes. He pretended to be angry and threatening. I love this game. I l

    Daphne's PoVMy body feels so light, like cotton. It's probably due to the effects of fatigue after making hot love with Asher last night. I felt relieved after pulling back the blanket with my eyes closed. There wasn't a single thread weighing down this body. As I opened my eyes slowly and received the sunlight into my eyepiece, Asher's face appeared with his seductive smile above me."Good morning, wife." Asher stole a quick kiss. I rubbed my eyes and blinked repeatedly. I know this isn't a dream, but it all feels too good to be true. A pleasantly arranged room and a handsome husband who... wait! Why is Asher so neat this morning? He even took a shower. There were traces of water in his hair."We just had a party, and you're going to work?" I felt my mood fall apart instantly.Asher laughed. "Who wants to work on such a beautiful day? Honey, did you forget that I'm the boss?" Asher came closer and held my chin to turn my face to his. I refused and looked the other way."Who else, if

There was a candle burning in the corner of the room, and red lingerie and a whip were provided.Asher laid me down slowly. He kissed me fiercely and roughly. There was nothing I could do but surrender to all his kisses. Asher lowered my clothes slowly."Do you want to wear that?" he asked while looking at the red lingerie lit up like the lingerie of a prostitute who became a pole dancer at the same time."Sure. But you have to put it on for me." I moved wildly and mischievously. Asher followed my game. She became the villain, preparing to capture and strip me. I walked away from him with my clothes half undone and looked at him as if I was terrified."Come here, My Baby girl." Asher walked away, grunting harshly. I felt that the more naughty he looked, the sexier he became. The game became more challenging as I managed to

I thought Asher looked down because he was afraid of my father's anger. It turned out that he did it because he didn't want any misunderstanding between me and my father.Of course, my emotions exploded many times over. Who can stand to see their partner battered? I immediately accused my father of being the culprit, and he immediately apologized to Asher."I'm sorry. I'm sorry," Dad said to Asher."No problem," Asher replied.It was easy for Asher to forgive my father for making his face battered. Maybe Asher could accept it, but not me. I can't forgive you if you did this because you think you have power over Asher, and you can do whatever you want. But he denied all my accusations and said he did this purely because he was worried about my situation."You should have thought about the consequences of you

But we were both embarrassed already.Asher went back to work. He forbade me from going out and traveling without a bodyguard. I objected. But this time, Asher didn't want to be contradicted. He said that his decision was inviolable. I gave in on the condition that all the bodyguards had to look sketchy while guarding me. Asher agreed and told them all to carry weapons. Again, I felt uncomfortable being rich and thought how easy it would be to be ordinary. Of course, my wish was severely criticized by Sherley, who called me an ungrateful person."If I were you, I'd have my bodyguards walk behind me and follow me wherever I go," he said with annoyance every time he had to listen to my outbursts that he always considered unreasonable."I'm not kidding, Sherley.

Destroying his image of a manly man who was handsome, rich, and powerful.Asher didn't want to leave me, and when I told him to go home to get a change of clothes and buy some food, he refused. Asher sent someone to bring everything for both of us. He said that this hospital belonged to his future business partner. I asked who Asher referred to, and he promised to introduce me to Jamie and Josh.The room I was staying in was not like a typical hospital room that smelled of medicine and was full of white, bright lights that nauseated my eyesight. This room had automatic dimmable lighting. There was a fridge, a cupboard, a television, and a big sofa. The bed I was on wasn't a single-person bed either. It's more like a hotel room tha
