Iris’s POV

I should have known better than to go to my regular café the day after admitting I had a problem.

But I went anyway.

I needed normalcy. I needed the smell of coffee and the hum of conversations and the clatter of cups in the background. I needed to sit at my usual table by the window and open my laptop and pretend that everything was fine.

So I went.

And he was there.

Waiting.

He was always waiting.

Victor sat at the table in the corner, the one with the good light and the view of t

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 113

    Marcus’s POVThe video arrived on my phone at 3:47 in the afternoon while I was reviewing quarterly reports in my study, a task that had become rote and mindless enough to let my thoughts wander. Roland's updates had been coming in all week without anything alarming to report. Iris had gone to the grocery store exactly as she said she would, had met Maya for coffee at the time and place she mentioned, had attended a meeting at her publisher's office with no deviation from the itinerary she volunteered the night before. Every detail checked out, and some small part of me had begun to believe that maybe this could work, that maybe the surveillance and the tracking and the quiet verification of her every move were temporary measures that would eventually become unnecessary.The notification chimed and I opened it without urgency, expecting another routine confirmation of something she had already told me. What I saw instead made me set my phone down on the desk and stare at the wall fo

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 112

    Iris's POVThe call from my publisher came on a Tuesday morning, three weeks after Marcus had opened the front door and given me a choice. Eleanor Vance herself was on the line, which was unusual. Eleanor didn't make personal calls to authors. She had assistants for that, layers of them, a whole bureaucracy designed to insulate her from direct contact with the people who wrote the books that kept her company afloat."Iris, I have an extraordinary opportunity for you," she said, her voice crackling with the enthusiasm of someone who thought she was delivering good news. "There's a potential collaborator who's been asking about you specifically. Very interested in the next book. Very interested in your process. I think a meeting could be extremely beneficial for your career.""What kind of collaborator?""A private investor with significant resources. He's been following your work closely and he has some ideas for expansion into other media. Film ri

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 111

    Iris's POVThe first thing I did after Marcus went to bed that night was delete every message Victor had ever sent me. I sat on the bathroom floor with my phone in my hand and my back pressed against the cold tile, and I went through every thread, every text, every voicemail from every unknown number he had used to reach me. There were dozens of them, stretching back months, a digital record of an obsession that had consumed my life and destroyed my marriage and very nearly cost me everything I had left.My phone buzzed while I was deleting the last thread. A new message from a number I didn't recognize. "You've been silent for three days. Call me. Now."I deleted it without responding and blocked the number. Another message came through ten minutes later from a different number. "Iris, this isn't a game. Pick up your phone."I blocked that number too. Then another. Then another. He kept creating new accounts and new numbers and new ways to reach

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 110

    Marcus's POVI watched her stand in the doorway with the afternoon sun framing her like something out of a dream I had once believed in, and I waited to see which way she would fall. The silence stretched between us, heavy with everything I had said and everything she hadn't yet decided, and I found myself studying her face the way I had studied the pages of her book, looking for clues, looking for truth, looking for something that would tell me whether the woman I married still existed inside the woman who had betrayed me.She didn't move toward the door. She didn't move toward me either. She just stood there with her hands trembling at her sides and her eyes fixed on some point between the threshold and the living room, and I realized she was waiting for me to take the choice back. She expected me to slam the door and lock the deadbolt and tell her the offer had expired. She expected cruelty because she had been living with cruelty for so long she had forgotten what mercy looked lik

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 109

    Iris's POVHe left me alone with my confession for hours. I stayed on the couch because I didn't know where else to go, my legs drawn up beneath me and my eyes fixed on the study door that had clicked shut behind him with a finality that echoed through the empty rooms. The house was silent except for the occasional creak of the floorboards overhead and the distant hum of the refrigerator in the kitchen, and every minute that passed without him emerging felt like a small eternity. I had spilled every secret I had been carrying for months, every terrible choice and every weak excuse, and he had given me two words before walking away. The waiting was unbearable. Not knowing what he was thinking or what he planned to do, not knowing if he was calling a lawyer or packing my bags or simply sitting in that study with his head in his hands, was worse than any punishment he could have devised. I’ve spent two days trapped in this house with his silence, and thought that was the worst thing he

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 108

    Iris's POVI must have fallen asleep at some point during the night because I woke to gray light filtering through the living room curtains and the sound of a book closing. This was not the soft rustle of a page turning, but the final, deliberate thump of a cover being shut. I sat up so fast my head spun, my neck aching from the awkward angle I had been slumped on the couch.Marcus was standing in front of his armchair with the book in his hand. He had finished it. The remaining pages that had been clustered in his right hand were now all on the left, and the cover was closed, and he was looking at me with an expression that made my blood run cold. It was not anger or grief or even the flat calm I had grown used to over the past two days. It was something more resolved, something that looked almost like peace, and I understood with a clarity that made my stomach drop that the waiting was over.He set the book down on the coffee table between us, placing it carefully in the center as i

  • Let Me Go Daddy, I Am Engaged To Your Son!   Chapter 92

    Iris's POV Linda called on a Tuesday, which was her day for bad news and ultimatums. I had been avoiding her calls for the better part of a month, ever since the honeymoon ended and my life had become something I couldn't write about because I was too busy living it. But Linda was persistent in t

Nor could I sleep during the night, after Victor slipped b
