JEZEBEL’S POV
“Daisy, you don’t need to worry. We went for a check-up, already.” Max interrupted, although he spoke to her softly.
I expected him to lose his temper on her since it was obvious she had a hunch that the pregnancy was fake, and probably needed another hospital to confirm it. Well, there was no way she would reveal my secret. Never!
“I'd like to go to bed. I’m tired.” I said, and rose to my feet.
“Are you sure? But you just got here.” Max uttered, looking concerned.
“I suddenly don’t feel too good.” I replied, and pushed the chair back a little.
Truly, I was beginning to feel nauseous, and my ears were seeming like they were going dim, making the sounds I was hearing seem almost impossible to hear. Even the aroma of the food irritated me.
Could it be because Daisy just
DAISY’S POVWords failed me when I discovered Jezebel was truly pregnant. Not that I didn’t want her to get pregnant, but she was showing signs that made it look like she had a secret she was keeping, regarding that pregnancy.Especially this night when she acted so worked up when I insisted that we do a check up on her, in a different hospital.While standing in the waiting room, Max walked up to me.“I need to see you, Daisy. Can we step out?” He asked, and I nodded.Although, I wondered what he needed to see me for. I followed him out to his car, and then he leaned his back on the car, while standing firmly.For a moment, silence reigned, and I did nothing but wait for him to speak. I just hoped he wasn’t about to say something which would break my heart.“I really do hope you haven’t been feeling left out and all,
DAISY’S POVMy eyelids opened slowly, and to my shock, it was already nightfall, and I was on a ground which seemed to have been cleared of grasses and plants, about two days ago. The damp smell that came from the ground made me feel a bit sick, so I managed to stand on my feet.On rising to my feet, I looked around, and discovered I was on a vast land, with just one thing I could see; the moon.Apart from the moon in the sky, there was nothing else I could see. No trees, rivers, or hills.“Where am I?” I muttered under my breath, feeling a bit anxious about the weirdness going on.“Daisy.” I heard a whisper, like the person was close to my ears.I looked back sharply, but found no one.“Daisy,” came another whisper.I kept looking around, abruptly as I heard whispers of my name, and it was becoming unbearable that I held my head, which at the same time, covered my ears.“Stop it, please. Stop it.” I pleaded as tears ran down my eyes as I shut them.After about a minute, those whispers
MAX’ POV“Max! Max! Aidan, Nadia!” She called out our names, except that of Jezebel’s.I dropped my spoon as I exchanged glances with Jezebel, and then looked back at Daisy.“Daisy, what’s going on? We’re right here.”“Max!” She called out, and was looking round the dining table like she couldn’t see us.“Daisy, what’s going on?” I asked her as I rose to my feet, worried about her.But then, she screamed out loud, and was about to run out when I held her back immediately. Even as I held her, she was still trying her best to set herself free from my grip.“Daisy! Daisy!”“Help!” She yelled out, looking around in fear.“Daisy! Come back to your senses!” I voiced out as I shook her.And just when
JEZEBEL’S POVIt was evening, and I was enjoying a cup of tea, to myself while I fixed my eyes on the TV. A sweet sensation overwhelmed me, starting from my stomach, and I cozied up to the pillows on the sofa as the passing breeze left me with goosebumps.Then I felt Max’ presence, and saw the maids hurrying into the hallway which led to the living room. I dropped my legs down, and placed my cup of tea on the table, waiting for him to pop out.And when he did, I saw him with Daisy.I rose to my feet, and wore a smile on my face as that would be one of the things that would get me off the suspect list, should in case of any issue, rise up.“Welcome, Daisy. You look much better.” I uttered, and grinned as my eyes drifted from her to Max, and then back to her.“Thanks.” She responded softly, without making eye contact with me.
DAISY’S POVMartha began to arrange the table, and I waited patiently for her to be done. She placed a cup of tea on everyone’s table, and when she placed mine, I felt a bit skeptical about it.Something in me felt reluctant to take it.Probably because it was because it was Martha who served it, and she was more like the closest maid to Jezebel.Even her hands shook a little, while serving it to me. Well, the only thing I can do to give myself a peace of mind, is to exchange this. I exchanged the cup of tea with Jezebel’s and shortly after, everyone came downstairs, at different times.~While Jezebel asked me questions, I felt a little uncomfortable because I still wasn’t used to her being nice to me. Not long after silence reigned, I heard a scream, and looked opposite me only to see Jezebel screaming out loud in pain.She held her belly, and sque
JEZEBEL’S POVI let out a relaxed breath as I placed my hand on my chest, feeling my fast heartbeat, gradually reducing its pace. It could have been Martha and I who would have been arrested or sort, but I felt glad that things didn’t turn out that way.~flashback~“Ma’am, Alpha Max has ordered for the arrest of Martha.” A maid informed me, and I rose to my feet instantly.“What! Why is that?” I demanded an answer from her.“She was the one who poisoned you, ma’am.”My eyeballs danced from left to right, and I felt mu blood go cold. I had totally forgotten that Max could do anything to find out what happened me.MY heart began to beat fast as I thought of the possibility of Martha, telling the truth. I hurried out of the room immediately, and headed for the living room.The first person my eyes fell on was Martha. She was being cuffed, and I rubbed my thumb and index finger each other, thinking of what to do.I walked down the stairs, and towards her, then grabbed her collar.“Tell m

DAISY’S POV“Bye, mom!” Both Aidan and Nadia waved at me, with excited smiles on their face, and I couldn’t help but feel this sweetness to have them in my life.They were the best gifts which nature could ever give me.Max had also gone to work, and I was literally the only one left, in the house. “I guess today will be visiting John-day.” I said to myself as I climbed the stairs, heading to my room to get myself prepared to go out as well.When I got to my room, I put a call through to John.“Hey, John. Mind if we meet, today?” I asked, hoping he wasn’t busy at that moment.“Yeah, sure, we can. At the same venue.” He responded.“Roger that!”We ended the call after that, and I got myself prepared.After I was done with my preparation, I headed out of the house, and was driven out by my driver, to the usual restaurant where we met.On getting there, I walked into the restaurant, and spotted John at the last corner of the restaurant, then I walked up to him, with a smile.“Here.” He
