Daisy asked with a surprised expression, "What mess?? Was it too costly??" Then, after a little hesitation, she continued, "Who told you to pay? Didn't I tell you it is my treat?"
Daisy was still unaware of Nicolas's status that he was not only rich but the one and only son of the richest businessman of that city.
Kyle, the tan girl with dirty blonde hair from the crew, replied in a low voice, "I am sure that you are planning something big. Tell me, Ruth. I am dying of curiosity."An evil smirk curled up Ruth's painted fuller lips. She replied, still staring at the exit, "Patience dear. Patience is the key to success. Just remember, you are going to play a pivotal role."
Daisy was extremely scared.
Jumping out of her sleep, Daisy sat on her bed. Then, without thinking anything, she started to wake Nicolas up, by pushing him continuously.Nicolas mumbled in his wobbly and sleepy tone, "Maria, let me sleep a little longer. I don't want to wake up now."
Hearing footsteps, Daisy looked up and saw Nicolas, entering inside with two trays in his hands.Immediately, Daisy stood up from her chair and about to leave when Nicolas shouted while taking huge strides towards Daisy, "Don't leave Daisy. You haven't eaten anything still now and it is already quite late. Better you eat something."
Staring at the bright screen of the phone, Daisy stood dumbfounded as if she was still then trying to understand the situation. Alex's voice interrupted her train of thoughts. Alex asked, looking at Daisy's surprised expression, "Didn't Nick give any chance to talk? That means he is really busy and not joining tonight."
Daisy couldn't look away from that girl. She was indeed looking elegant in such a costly gown. Her fair skin tone and blackish hair were looking like Nicolas, she had a few similarities with Nicolas. But, Daisy indeed knew Nicolas had no sister of his own. Though, she didn't know anything about his parents or family background.She started feeling a sharp pain, pinching her heart. Though the reason was unknown. Her eyes were fixed
Lizzy and Ruth both stood on that spot, dumbfounded. They didn't expect Nicolas would come and take Lizzy with him like that.Lizzy whispered in a curious voice, leaning towards Ruth, "Don't you think that brother is too protective towards this girl. I have never seen him, protecting any of his ex-girlfriends like this."
"Not at all. Why will I miss you? I was just worried if you are alright. Especially I was worried about our match, " Daisy tried her best to explain.Pressing his one hand on his left chest above his suit, Nicholas replied with a fake expression, "Ouch! You broke my heart, Daisy. Don't you even know how to lie? Then, at least, I could save my heart from breaking into pieces."
“Mom, you are looking so beautiful. I am worried that you will steal the limelight tonight.” “You little punk! Are you jealous of your mom now?” Daisy asked teasingly while combing the raven black hair of Dawn. Dawn was looking like a little male doll in the fancy black tuxedo. He looked more like Nicolas in that formal clothes. “Of course I am. if you steal all the attention then nobody will look at me, “ Little Dawn complained while caressing his mother’s cheeks. But after a tiny pause, he added while pulling Daisy’s cheeks, “So soft. My mommy is the best.” Giggling Daisy patted her son affectionately. Then placing a quick kiss on dawn’s cheek, she stated, “And you are the most handsome boy here. Happy Birthday, my little dawn. Mom loves you the most. Now go and attend to the guests. Granny is waiting for you i
“Who are you?”With a charming smile, Nicolas knelt in front of the little boy and picked him up from the ground. Then place a small kiss on his chubby cheek, Nicolas replied, “I am your mother’s friend. You can just call me Uncle.”“Mother’s friend! My mother never talked about it or I have never seen you in my house. Why should I trust you? Mom said not to talk with strangers. What if you are also an evil stranger who wants to steal me,” the kid immediately complained, pouting his lips. But his eyes were scanning Nicolas’s face, after a little pause, he added with a relaxed expression on his face, “But you don’t look like a kidnapper though.”“Really? So how do I look?” Nicolas asked with his mysterious smile. He just met with the
“At last I found you.”Startled, Daisy looked back and saw Nicolas was staring at her with a devilish smirk on his face. She saw the heart-rending tenderness of his gaze. Daisy immediately tried her wrist to set free from his grip forcefully but his grip was so strong that all her attempts went in vain.“Don’t try. I am not going to leave your hand anymore,” Nicolas murmured in his low and weak tone. There was a maddening hint of arrogance in his tone.“Let my hand go. Why are you awake? You should be sleeping to recover first,” Daisy replied in a shaky tone, inhaling sharply. The sudden touch of Nicolas caught her off-guard, making her shiver in familiar awareness.Pulling her a little closer to his body, Nicolas whispered, stil
(6 years later. In Santa Ana)“Madam, a new patient has arrived from an accident case. He has lost too much blood and is in critical condition. You have to come,” A nurse in white dress entered inside the cabin and stated in an impatient tone. From her tone, it was clear that she was in a hurry.“But my working hours are over already. It is midnight already. Where is Dr Park? Contact him and ask him to come,” the lady doctor replied while packing her bag. That day was quite a long day for her. She had six long surgeries that day and then checked on the other patients. So she was already too drained after so much work.“Hello, Dr Park, there is a new patient. Come as fast as possible. He has already lost too much blood,” the nurse already started calling when the lady doctor came o
Where is Nick?”“Nick is not here. He left the moment he saw the video,” Jason replied, looking at Daisy with startled eyes. Along with Daisy, Helen also entered the room.Grabbing Daisy’s wrist, she stated, “Daisy. I am sure that Nick is working on finding the truth behind it. You just calm down and wait for him.”“I am already calm. Just tell me where is Nick?” Daisy murmured impatiently.Alex replied from behind in his calm tone. “He is on the rooftop. But I will suggest that you shouldn’t meet him.”But even before Alex could finish his sentence Daisy started running in the direction of the rooftop. On the way, she collided with a few students from th
With the loud sound of the alarm on her phone, Daisy woke up from sleep and found herself on the bed of the hotel room. Squinting her eyes several times sleepily, Daisy sat on her bed, rubbing away the sleep from her eyes.“Ugh! My head! What’s wrong with it!” Daisy murmured while holding her head. Her head was feeling extremely heavy at that moment and it was hard for her to open her eyes properly.Checking the room with a glance, Daisy decided to sleep again. There was no sign of Helen in the room. Even her bed was neatly organized so it was clear that she didn't return yet and the clock was showing only 7 am.Daisy laid down again and instantly fell asleep. The heat of her body already reduced at that moment but her cheeks were still red like tomatoes and there was a small red hickey
Blood! Crimson Blood soaked the yellow t-shirt of Jason.When Daisy, Nicolas, Alex and Helen reached outside the hotel, they found Jason lying under the shade of an empty shade of a closed food stall. There were rarely any visitors on the road at such late hours of the night.Jason was lying in a pool of blood, pressing his right hand on the wound of his left hand which was bleeding badly.“Jason! Oh my God! You are bleeding so badly,” Helen cried, kneeling next to Jason and pulling his head on her lap.“Let’s take him back inside the hotel. He can’t walk as his left knee is also injured so we have to carry him,” Alex stated, standing next to Nicolas who was examining Jason with a curious and worried expression.
As the first ray of the sun fell on Daisy’s face, squinting and blinking her eyes several times, Daisy, at last, managed to open her eyes. Sleepily she turned her head and found Nicolas’s handsome face just inches away from her.He was still asleep but his one hand was wrapped around her waist and they both were sleeping only in their undergarments. A sly smile curled up Daisy’s beautiful lips as the memories of last night flashed back in her mind. Last night was really special for her, different from any other nights of the past. She never felt Nicolas so deeply like she felt last night.After staring at his handsome face for quite a long while caressing his cheek, Daisy set herself free from his embrace as carefully as possible, not to wake him up and then stood up.Instinctively her eyes shifted
“Sorry!”Alex immediately interrupted them, while dusting the sands from his clothes.Then while stretching his body and yawning tiredly, Alex added, “No way I can stay awake anymore. I am also returning to the room.”“Ok, then Daisy and Nick have fun on the beach. We will just head back to our rooms,” Jason replied excitedly while dragging Helen along with him.Nicolas immediately asked in a confused tone, “Then where will we go?”“Exactly? Do we have to share a room with Alex?” Daisy asked in a confused tone.With a gummy smile, Jason answered back while scratching the back of his head, “Yeah! Something like
