34. In The Dark
DAHLIA
"I'm in here!" I called out, panic filling me when I was plunged into darkness. Don’t panic Dahlia. I didn’t bring my phone, I was in here all alone. "Hey!"
My voice seemed to fall flat as I made my way through the shelves. Breathe, Dahlia. I reached the door after a while, feeling for the handle. I tried it and pulled hard on it.
"Anyone out there?!" I screamed.
Why did someone just turn off the light? Obviously, someone was in here if the light was on!
"Who’s there?!" I shouted, trying not to let panic consume me. "Hello?!"
I banged on the door, ignoring the pain that burned my fists. "Someone! Anybody! Hello?!"
Who would hear me? I was in a tiny, windowless room at the back of a huge room. It was almost time for everyone to leave work, no-one would know I was here. Fear and panic began clawing at me and I tried to avoid focusing on it.
"Hello?!" My voice broke from all the shouting but I had to carry on. I cou

Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 35. Anguish
DANE After the kiss we shared on Saturday night, I had thought that maybe we were going to go forward from here. I was ready to push aside my own issues and not judge Dahlia for the way other people of her status behaved. But then yesterday she said something was missing from her memory, something that took place twenty-three years ago… Was it coincidental that my aunt was driven to commit suicide or was killed? There were too many coincidences surrounding Dahlia, this house, the timing… I didn’t want to believe it, but how much longer could I ignore the facts? I couldn't take things further, not until I knew the truth. That kiss shouldn’t have happened. I needed to look around the house for clues and then I needed to get out of here. As soon as possible. It was now Monday and Dahlia had left for work. I decided I really needed to look around, the only problem were the staff. Someone or other was always around, but I couldn't waste any more time. When the mor
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 36. A Child’s Understanding
DAHLIA Three days had passed but Dane refused to talk to me about anything but work. He didn’t even look at me and told his secretary to get any paperwork signed. It hurt that I heard nothing from him. I tried to talk to him once or twice about it, but he shut me down quickly, saying there was work to do and shouldn’t we be focusing on it? I was used to keeping up a good front. To show I'm ok when I wasn’t, so that’s what I did. Pretend I'm ok. I had had a meeting with my lawyer and the first hearing for our divorce was scheduled to take place. I knew it was going to be mentally draining, I did not want to see him again, not when I was emotionally drained - but my lawyer said we were not going to drag it out. After all, there was enough proof of his affairs. "Mama? Can I come with you to work today?" Aria asked. She had been a little under the weather and rather clingy. I knew she was upset about Dane simply leaving without even a goodbye. I felt her
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 37. Supporting Him
DAHLIA I opened the box gingerly, slipping my finger under it and flipping it up. I breathed a sigh of relief, seeing it just contained packaging foam peanuts and a few polaroid’s stuck in the middle - I really didn’t want to have to face another dead rat again. I reached for the pictures, scooping them up. I gasped as I felt something tickle my finger. I was about to brush it away when I saw a horrifyingly large spider crawl up my hand, scarily fast. It was two inches long and my heart plummeted. Fear drowning me, I let out a piercing scream, whacking it off. I felt a sharp sting on my hand before it went flying. My heart was thumping wildly as I stumbled back, seeing another crawl out of the box. "Mama!" I heard Aria call. "I'm ok, I just slipped." I lied, backing away from the large atrocities. My hand stung but I was too focused on thinking about how to kill them. Hurrying forward, I crushed the first spider beneath my foot.
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 38. Poisoned
DAHLIA My heart would have surged if it wasn’t already beating way faster than it should. "What’s wrong with you? You look really ill." He said. "I need to go to the hospital. I’ll be fine… It’s just a little…." I tried to stand up, my entire body felt heavy. "What happened? You looked better than this earlier." He asked, helping me to my feet. I could only focus on his concern. "A spider bit me." I said, holding out my swollen and painful-looking hand. He looked at me stunned before taking my hand tenderly. "This looks infected… Dahlia what spider?" He asked sharply. "It was in the box…" I mumbled, my vision swaying. "I kept them; I’ll be fine." "You should have gone sooner." He said coldly. "I…" I trailed off. Not wanting to say that it was because I didn’t want to let him down. He seemed to realise anyway, his eyes filling with pain. He now crouched down, wrapping his left arm a
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 39. Heart To Heart
DAHLIA I said it, wording the feelings that inflicted and caused a storm within me. I couldn't stop myself. Seeing the worry and concern in him as he held my hand, made me falter. When he told me he’d be there for me, I wanted to believe it. To hope he’d never get angry and leave. I was terrified of having my heart broken again but I was also terrified of losing him. I’d hold on to him for as long as possible, to hope I could win his heart someday. His thick lashed eyes were filled with surprise at my words, before they seemed to darken, and I saw the emotions in them. "I’m sorry for getting angry." His deep voice came. He let go of my hand and instead caressed my hair. Leaning forward, he placed his forehead on mine. My breath hitched and my heart thumped at his closeness. "It’s ok, you had every right-" "No. I didn’t. I didn’t let you speak and left when you needed me. There were other things that were bothering me." H
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 40. Origami
DAHLIA I looked at Dane as he sat there, a frown on his face. What did he make of it all? It felt like forever before he stood up from the side of the bed and looked down at me. "Move over." He commanded. My cheeks flushed but I did as he said, my heart racing as I watched him take his shoes off before he slid into the bed next to me. I was sure he’d hear my heart. His closeness was making me go crazy and I dared not look up at him. He slid his arm under my head and gently pulled me into his chest. I closed my eyes, inhaling his scent as I placed my bandaged hand on his chest and curled the other under his arm, placing it on his shoulder. Tingles of pleasure rushed through me and I had to bite my lip to stop from letting out a sigh of pleasure. I could feel every inch of his body against mine, right down to the bulge in his pants. Oh, dear lord, the images and thoughts that were rushing through my head were making my lower region throb
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 41. A Promise I Won't Break
DANE I saw her face fall when I told her I wouldn’t have accepted the job otherwise. It was a truth I had to mention now rather than keep hidden, it could ruin stuff for us later otherwise. I tried not to look at her chiffon plum-coloured blouse that showed off the outline of her bra, or her skirt that displayed her long legs and curvy thighs. Last night had been a mission for me to keep my hands to myself, I had ended up getting a hard-on and had left her bed before she even woke up. "Oh." She now said, her face looking crestfallen before she schooled it to passiveness once more. "I don’t want our relationship to start on a lie." I said, taking a deep breath. This was hard for me too. She had enough going on and here I was, about to burden her with more. I began telling her how my father had screamed for a post-mortem and for answers, but it was ruled a simple suicide despite how she was pregnant at the time. How my father had even tried getting the
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 42. Pleasure
DAHLIA My stomach was going crazy the moment he lifted me onto the counter and said those words. I wanted nothing more than for him to fuck me, but I didn’t voice that. Warrens remarks that I was too vocal and upfront, that it wasn’t fitting for a woman like me, crossed my mind. But something about Dane treating me like an equal, asking me what I wanted, made me want to be myself completely. I felt tired of having to fit into this box of perfection, being the ideal woman. I wanted to be me and something about Dane gave me that confidence… "As you wish, princess." He murmured seductively, his deep voice making my entire body heat up. His hands fell to my thighs, slipping under my skirt as he pushed it up and parted my legs, making me gasp at the bold move as he positioned himself between them. His hand didn’t leave my thigh, sending rivets of pleasure through me. The other cupped the nape of my neck as he kissed me passionately, but it was different th
