Semua Bab Take Me, Daddy: Bab 91 - Bab 100

Chapter 92: Done WaitingANNABELThe gown felt so comfortable on my skin, so smooth as I put it on, but my head kept roaming with different thoughts. What if he doesn't like it? What if the pregnancy was making him not like me?I didn't know why I was thinking too much over this, knowing it's all in my head, but what if it wasn't? What if he really didn't want me anymore and was just too nice to say it?God, I was spiraling. This was exactly what I didn't want to do.I looked at myself in the mirror and tried to focus on something else. The nightgown was pretty, I guess. Black silk that barely covered my thighs and thin straps that kept sliding off my shoulders. It was the kind of thing that was supposed to make men lose their minds, but right now I just felt stupid.What was I even doing? This was probably a terrible idea. Damon was probably in his room working or making phone calls or doing whatever it was he did when he wasn't treating me like I might break. And here I was, about t

Chapter 94: Another Breaking PointANNABELThe words hit me like a slap, and for a second, I couldn’t breathe. My mom. In trouble. The towel slipped from my hands, pooling on the floor, but I didn’t care. Damon was already moving, grabbing his phone, his face hard as stone.“What do you mean, she’s in trouble?” I demanded, my voice shaking as I stepped closer, water still dripping from my hair. “Damon, what’s going on?”He didn’t look at me, his fingers flying over the screen as he typed something. “It’s Russo,” he said, his voice clipped. “He’s made a move. Carlo just got word—he’s got people watching your mom’s place.”My heart stopped. “Watching her? Like, what, they’re gonna hurt her?”“I don’t know yet,” he said, finally meeting my eyes. There was something there, guilt, maybe, or fear. “But I’m not taking any chances. I’m sending a team to get her out.”“Out? Out where?” I grabbed his arm, forcing him to stop. “Damon, you can’t just say something like that and not explain. What’

Chapter 96: Love and BetrayalANNABELMy hands moved steadily against my phone, the fact that I had been trying to reach my mom with no response from her wasn't settling with me.We were still in Redway.And Damon had been shutting me out even when I didn't want to be shut out.The door opened and he walked in. His face was hardened and I didn't like that. Even though we were facing something enormous, I wanted all of this to end. I wanted us to be happy again."Damon..."I mumbled as my hands shook on my phone."Cupcake, I'm so sorry..."He whispered, approaching me and holding my shoulders, which kind of soothed me."How's my mother..."I asked, and he looked at everything but me. I knew he told me Carlo was taking care of it, but yet, I knew something was off. Her phone not being reachable and that damn Grace—I'd been calling her too."Cupcake, she's been kidnapped. Russo seems to have gotten help from an insider who turns out to be Grace."Damon whispered, and I felt my world shatt

Chapter 98: Into the Storm ANNABELThe room was quiet but outside was like a war was going on. I couldn't see in the dark but luckily, the soft glow from the night gave me enough to see in the room. After Damon had left my presence, we only got to meet once. He never said a word to me but had surprisingly kissed me and Carlo, that cold man had given me a vague brief second of his time, telling me the plan which sounded like I had nothing to do with it.I stared at the dark room, waiting for my mum. Why was I in a dark room you would ask? Damon said this was the least place Russo would see me and once he rescues my mother, she will be reunited with me and we will be back.But he didn't mention anything about the device. The whole plan I knew was more than just rescuing my mother but yet, something tugged within me. He was going to kill Russo and I still couldn't stop feeling like everything wouldn't be alright, that something terrible was going to go down.Suddenly, I started hearing s

Chapter 100: The Ghost ReturnsDAMONI always knew I did things as I pleased, but I know for the first time in my life, I had fucked up big time. How would I have known that I would fall in love with the daughter of the man whose downfall I had planned? I betrayed a friend, and he did forgive me. I confessed to him what I had done, and he told me to take care of his family. Christian was a good man—a burden I had carried for so long, a secret no one knew of, not even Annabel.I kept repeating the words "I am sorry" countless times, but I knew she wasn't listening. Was she ever going to forgive me?"Damon, Damon…"Her voice came, snapping me out of my thoughts."Now is not the time to keep apologizing or trying to make up. I need you right now—he isn't listening to me."Annabel's voice broke again, and that was enough to snap me out of my spiraling thoughts."He isn't listening to me, he…I don't know what to do…"I gently held her shoulder. She was hyperventilating, and I needed to cal
