63. A Hot Punishment
DANE
Damn, I hadn’t told Dahlia that for a reason… Without all the answers, I didn’t want to burden her with more.
"We aren't sure if that’s a hundred percent true." I said quietly, glaring at Dad who was looking at me with scorn.
"Do you want to see the post-mortem results?" He spat.
"Mama, can I have some juice, please?" Aria said and I gave Dahlia’s hand a squeeze. I could see the pain and confusion in her eyes, although she placed them behind a mask once more.
Hell… why did I hide it…
She poured a glass for Aria, kissing her forehead softly.
"Yeah, maybe if you gave me actual proof things could have been easier." I said icily to Dad.
"Did my father know about the results?" Dahlia asked softly. I knew she was hurt despite how calmly she was speaking.
"Why should I share that? They put it down as a suicide and he didn’t give a crap what happened to her." Dad said.
"I think it's high time we spoke to Ba

DANE It had been over two weeks since the visit to my parents. The day after, Mom had given me a lecture on why I needed to find a young child-bearing wife, not an older businesswoman who already had a child. That pissed me off and I had said a good few words. I loved both Dahlia and Aria. Regardless of the fact that Aria had chosen to call me father, I loved it. I don’t care that I had only known her for a few months, to me it felt like forever. I was her dad no matter what anyone said. As for Dahlia, I loved her and what Mom said, I didn’t really care. I made it clear that this was the family I wanted and would always cherish. Besides she was only thirty… I'm sure when the time came we could have another child. I had also begun to look at some houses. Call it ego, but I didn’t want to live at Dahlia’s place, I wanted to at least put a roof over their heads. Somewhere new to start fresh memories. I thought to have a look first and then talk to Dahlia about i

DANE "Maria… You’re Maria’s nephew? Wait… Does Dahlia know this?" He asked, looking at me sharply. "She does." I said, sitting down. "But the thing is, there are so many questions that have no proper answers too. Questions that I want answers to. My father still beats himself up over finding her that job. A job that cost her, her life." "She committed suicide…" He said, his eyes were shadowed as he now looked at his hands. "Yeah, so I've heard. But I want to hear what you know. Please Mr El Nazari, don’t hold anything back." I said quietly. He sighed deeply, looking out the windows past me, his eyes lost in memories of long ago. "I loved her. After the loss of my wife, Dahlia’s mother, in a car crash… I never thought I’d love again. Until I met Maria, she was the breath of fresh air we both needed in our lives and she loved Dahlia dearly. Do you know that was what made me love her even more? I wanted Dahlia to have a mother who would l
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 66. Planning An Evening
DAHLIA I wasn’t expecting this, but the thought sent my heart into a frenzy. Dear lord… The doctor wiped the gel from my stomach as I sat up slowly. "I will book you in for an antenatal appointment, and book you in for bloods… Are you okay, Ms El Nazari?" "Oh yes." I said, trying to make sense of the warmth that was filling me. I was going to have another child! Aria was going to have a sibling. She would have someone to play with. Dane… Dane would… I didn’t know what Dane would want or think and the very thought scared me. I plastered my usual faint smile on my face as I slid off the bed. "Thank you, doctor; please let me know when you're available and I'll make the time to fit into my schedule." I said, as she printed out a sheet and slipped it into a card along with a picture of the scan. "You are about 5 weeks pregnant. The heartbeat looks strong and I know you are a healthy person. Avoid alcohol and raw eggs. Please take it
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 67. A Picture
DANE I waited to the side of the diner, mom was currently busy and unlike last time, I was in no mood to help out. I couldn't get the words she said about Dahlia out of my head. I looked around the warmly lit diner, thinking how times had changed. I used to help out here on top of my other side jobs when I was younger. It had been tough, but seeing that debt number grow increasingly smaller encouraged me to keep going. I walked over to the large board containing photos and notes and other bits and bobs. A wall where things were never removed from… I remembered there was a picture of me here, on my 9th birthday. It was probably the biggest party I had ever had. I remember pinning a picture here… that one would be nice to show Aria. A small smile crossed my lips. There was something about that little princess that really warmed my heart. She was her mother’s daughter, after all, guess both knew how to melt my cold exterior. "Dane…" My mother said, as I
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 68. Ready To Tell
DAHLIA Last night, Dane had so much on his mind that I didn’t end up telling him about the pregnancy, but I knew I needed to tell him rather than have him find out some other way. Maybe I should get something… A thought came to me and I smiled, my heart skipping a beat. It was now around 10 am and after a late night last night, I had slept in. Dane had said he’d handle work. Remembering last night, I blushed at the very thought. He indeed had a lot of stamina… I shook my head, thinking back to how I could break the news to him. A sudden thought came to me and my eyes lit up. We could go out for lunch, and then after eating, I would surprise him with a cupcake that had the message on it. Yes, that sounded good. Feeling excited, I dialled his number. "Hello." He said. "Hi, my love. I hope I’m not interrupting… I was hoping we could go out for lunch today?" I asked softly. "Of course, princess, I’ll be done with this meeting in ju

DANE You are going to become a daddy again. Those words rang in my head as I stared at my beautiful temptress. Her eyes filled with a hundred emotions as she waited for my reaction. How could I tell her…? How could I put into words the emotions that coursed through me? It felt like a repeat of when Aria first asked me to be her father. I was beyond happy, excited, nervous and worried for Dahlia. I had a thousand questions but I couldn't form any words. I reached over, cupping her face, my lips meeting hers in a deep, passionate kiss. I kissed her like it was the last time, pouring my emotions into it. I would never let her go. She had given me happiness after happiness. Why hadn't I met my precious queen sooner? I deepened the kiss as she struggled to keep up, but I didn’t care. I just wanted her to know how I felt. My love for her would never fade. She had given me three treasures that were priceless. Herself, Aria and now this little one. She gasped
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 70. Zara’s Message
DAHLIA It had been two days since I had told Dane about the baby and he had been nothing but supportive. I realised he didn’t even push me down on my stomach during sex anymore and avoided bending me over his desk yesterday at work. It was sweet. He was staying true to his word and making love to me in different places though. After sex in his office, my legs felt like jelly when I returned to my own. Although I must admit, I had felt thoroughly satisfied. I had decided to do my work from home today and just rest a little. Aria had gone to school and Dane was at work. I sipped my tea, answered some business emails and signed some digital contracts. Finally, when I was all done, I sat back after sending off my 5th email. "Phew!" I said, printing them out and sending some copies to the correct departments to store in our systems. I took my phone out, replying to Dane’s message, when I remembered the small card that belonged to Zara
Mr. CEO, Please Marry My Mommy 71. Mr. CEO
DANE Two hours later, the officer had taken the full account from Dahlia. I didn’t want her to be stressed, not when she was pregnant, but it was inevitable. I just hoped that once this was all over and all those behind it were behind bars, life would become easier. "This video is enough, but I think if we had a full confession from Amal El Nazari we could have a stronger case. She comes from a wealthy family, even if your influence is much stronger. Warren Murdock is already using the sympathy card that we are abusing power and holding him. Under pressure, there are chances they will be released on bail until the court passes the final judgement. I think the best thing we can do is get a full confession from her. Ms El Nazari, I think you are the one best for this job." "She can’t…" I trailed off when Dahlia nodded. "We will be there, all set around you. We would be happy for yourself to be there too Mr Altaire. I assure you that Ms El Nazari’s safet
