Daisy's POV"I wasn't running" I replied weakly, he grabbed my arm in an almost painful grip, but just as he opened his mouth to say something, his name was announced to come up for the next phase of the competition, "I'm not done with you" he gritted and walked away.I rubbed my arm and shivered a little, not that the weather is cold or something, it's just that his words left me cold, soon the cheers for him and shouts of his name could be heard all over, he has already scored a goal in less than five minutes as he enters the field, I soon forgot about his threat as I watched him, he is an enigma and sometimes, I wondered if he's human at all, which human being can be this talented in everything?"He's cute huh? You must be dying of admiration for him" Celine said softly beside me, I didn't hear her approach me I would have avoided her, "stay away from him" she warned and I frowned, "why? He's not even your boyfriend" I replied, skeptical, I have always known that Celine has a thing
AIRES' POVCeline rushed towards me, "are you okay?" She asked frantically, Jasmine and mum were also staring at me with a worried look, I nodded at Celine's question, 'I am fine" I replied, standing up, she held my arm to help me up before turning to face Daisy furiously, "you clumsy oof, how dare you take Aires down with you" she fumed, I was angry too but as I turned to also give her a piece of my mind, I saw the blood flowing from her nose and the bruise in her head, I quickly rushed to her, "you're bleeding", Celine stared at me in surprise, "are you kidding me?" She whispered but I paid deaf ears to her, "how can you always be so clumsy? Come with me right now" I gritted, holding her by the arms and leading her to the school clinic.I waited for her until she has been treated by the school nurse, "what were you thinking? How could you be so careless, you are always lost in your imagination" I huffed in frustration when she didn't say anything, I felt pissed with her but at the s
AIRES' POV My heart arched painfully as I stared at the broken pieces on the floor, it wasn't just the broken trophy that got to me, it was my father's action, he was staring at me with so much hate and anger in his eyes and I just couldn't hold back anymore, "why do you hate me so much? Ever since I knew you, you have never given me any fatherly love, what did I do to make you despise me so much?" I wrenched out, my heart torn into pieces, "are you questioning me? You wanna show me that you're now a man huh?" He snarled at me but I was beyond caring, I glared right back, "you know what? I am done trying to prove myself to you because no matter what I do, you still won't look my way, you can go to hell for all I care" I yelled at him and his palm connected with my cheek, my head reeled and my hand formed a fist, I held myself in check to keep from punching him, "you think you are tough huh, you think you're now a man and can challenge me" he clenched out as he brought out his whip, "

She whispered, she would not be able to forgive her mother, why was she getting remarried anyways? A finger snapped across her face and she blinked, "earth to girl, why are you looking so lost?" Desiree asked as she sat down with her tray of food in front of her, Daisy sighed, she might as well tell her, she needed someone to tell it out to anyways, "my mum is getting married"Desiree arched a brow, "I see that you are not okay with it""Of cause, not Desiree, she is getting married to a total stranger, I don't even know him""You might get to know him eventually, what if he turns out to be nice""I don't care, what if someday my dad returns""Are you kidding me?

[Author's POV]Aires decided to go home immediately after school, his mind was on Daisy as he opened the door, he pondered in what she said, she envied him because of his dad, she thinks he is that rich and spoilt child of his father, he shook his head, if only she knew, he was about to pull off his uniform when he heard a loud thud, it came from the direction of his father's room, he frowned, he thought he was the only one at home, his dad was supposed to be in his office, his mum in her karaoke shop and Jasmine was still supposed to be at college, so, what the hell was that sound, quietly, he went to where he thought he had heard the sound, and placed his ear on the door, there, he heard it again, a loud thud and groaning this time around, he thought it sounded like the voice of his dad, quickly, he pushed the door opened and his eyes bulged at the sight before him, his father was seated on the floor, with a bottle of alcohol in his hand, his top to middle button was opened and his
Daisy's POVI sighed immediately after I heard the bell for lunch break, I quickly stood up with my lunch bag, I was starving, I hadn't eaten the day before nor did I have any breakfast, and the thought of having to start living with Celine under the same roof in a few weeks from now is enough to make me lose appetite but mum was determined to go ahead with the wedding, she doesn't wanna listen to me, what do I matter to her anyways? She's fixated on getting married and of all the men she chose, it has to be Celine's dad, the thought of it always makes me wanna scream in frustration but as time goes by, I thought long and hard about it and decided that my mother can do whatever she wants, all I have to do is to study hard and if I do well enough, I just might be able to get into college sooner than I ought to, I will choose a college that is very far from home and once I gain admission, I will never show my face to my mother ever again.I sighed, bringing out my lunch box from my lunc

Aires'POVOne moment, I was about to pronounce Daisy as the girl I love and then, suddenly, I felt intense hotness running through my bloodstream, and painful sensations shot through my nerves, my head felt like it was about to split open and my body felt like there is a giant monster inside of me that is about to show itself, my muscles rippled painfully and all of a sudden, I could hear everything and everyone, the noise was amplified, sending shooting pains into my brain, I could smell everything all at once but in the midst of all my pain, there is just one thing that my brain was able to recognize, it was a very sweet smell and I feel like devouring whatsoever has such smell, I followed traced the direction of the smell and realized that it was coming from Daisy, I had the sudden urge to take her right there and then, to claim her deeply and possess every inch of her being, the word "mate" chanted in my head, whatever that means."What's going on?

I stared at the nurse standing in front of me, I was rendered speechless by this news, pregnant? No, how can I be pregnant at eighteen? What will happen to my college? My scholarship, I feel so scared right now and it must have reflected on my face because the nurse stared at me with pity and patted my shoulders before walking away.This has to be a dream, for the past weeks, I have been feeling sick, nausea at every slightest smell, and fatigued almost all the time that I even got shouted at by my boss, I thought it was just a flu and will be fine, but when the week past by and it still does not look like I'll be fine soon, I decided to visit the hospita

Daisy's POVI paced nervously in my room and paused when I caught sight of my reflection in the mirror, I look tense but beautiful in the long princess ball gown that Aires had sent for me, today is the night of our prom and he will make sure that I attend as his date, I sighed, my gaze went to my table clock, it's nine O'clock already, the party was supposed to start seven O'Clock, he's two hours late, he has never been late to an appointment before, what's keeping him? Perhaps he change his mind about taking a geek as his date, I waited some more, still, no sign of him, I dialed his number, it rang but he didn't bother to pick up, it was almost midnight, I guess he changed his mind then, disappointed, I undressed and not bothering to remove my makeup, I sank on my bed and drifted off to sleep.I felt his presence as soon as he came in, slowly, my eyes drifted open, he was a silhouette against the bright light of my room, I was under my duvet but I was still conscious that I am wear

Daisy's POVI sat in class absent-minded, the events of the past few days weighed heavily on my mind, I felt someone tap me and I turned to see Desiree looking at me with concern, "are you alright?" I nodded, "why shouldn't I be?" "The class teacher has called you for more than three times but got no response from you", she explained, that was when I turned round to see all eyes on me, Celine snickered maliciously,"Er...I... I'm sorry ma'am, I didn't hear you call my name", I quickly apologized to the teacher who was standing with arms folded across her chest and staring at me,"To my office, now", she ordered as she carried her materials and left the class, damn, now, I'm in for it, slowly, I stood up and followed her,"You can have your seat", I gingerly sat down in the only available seat in the office which is across from her,"Can you tell me what's going on with you?", She asked, removing her glasses and placing them on the table"Nothing, I am fine", I mumbled and she looked
