N/B: Part 2 of this book. This part is set about a decade (10 years) away from when the last chapter ended. I hope you enjoy it :)Chapter 39Esmeralda's POV"Miss Griffin, Mr Stone will see you now" the receptionist says smiling at me after putting the phone back in it's position.I exhale nervously and smoothen the imaginary crease in my shirt before standing up and moving towards the direction of the door to the CEO's office.Esme, calm down, He's just a man. An ordinary man with the reputation of a dragon. You can do this.I give myself more internal pep talk before going inside.I become confused when I enter the office and see no one. The chair at the desk was empty. Where is the infamous 'Mr. Stone'? The legendary man who has built the group of companies he inherited into the biggest empire. The man whose name rule every single headline about success and magazines about the hottest men ever.God Esme you're so stupid. You should have done some research about him or at least se

Chapter 40Esmeralda's POV"Lily, Miss Griffin is not Daisy" the deep throaty voice of Mr. Stone comes from behind me.The girl hugging me pulls back to stare at my face and then looks behind me to stare at Mr. Stone's face."Why didn't you tell us you've finally found her" She asks looking hurt and then her face scrunches up. "Wait, what do you mean by she's not Daisy? Of course she's Daisy. Look at her, she looks exactly the same only more beautiful!" She exclaims smiling.My face heats up a bit as a result of being called beautiful. "This is Miss. Griffin, she came for the personal assistant interview" he says sternly."Oh. I'm really sorry then Miss. Griffin, you look a lot like someone I know" she apologizes."Yeah, I figured that out" I answer smiling."So, I'll be on my way" I add making a move to walk out.She smiles as I walk past her and when I look back, I see her hugging him.So she is his girlfriend then.When I finally make it out of the building, I decide to hail a tax

Chapter 41**Esmeralda's POV**A breathy sigh escapes my mouth at his gentle touch and I unconsciously lean my face forward and close my eyes. His gentle hands disappear a second later and my body mourns the loss of his warmth.What am I saying? This is not me. Why am I acting like this? He's my boss for God's sake!He obviously thinks I'm someone else, which I'm definitely not but why am I not protesting for him to not touch me?I just broke up with Jack so I can't say it's because i'm starved of affection.I open my eyes and look up to see his face revealing nothing. "Good morning Miss. Griffin" He picks up his briefcase and turns to go into his office.I nod shakily because I'm pretty sure I won't be able to form words if I open my mouth.Is this how every day will be like?Immediately his door closes, I collapse in my chair then take a deep breath. Who is this Daisy? Why is he mistaking me for her? And why am I liking his touch?I shake my head, I seriously can't be thinking abo

Chapter 42Hunter's POVI can't believe this. After all these years, I'm going to see her again. She really isn't dead.I pull up outside the restaurant where I'm meeting with the private investigator and Mr Heart. I hope Mr. Heart is feeling alright this week. He took the news of Daisy's death very hard and he has heart conditions. As I enter the restaurant, the waitress recognises me and points me to the table where Mike the private investigator was sitting. I walk towards the table and as I take my seat, my father and Mr Heart arrive.We all wait for Mike to speak and I feel my patience running out when he doesn't say anything. "Where is she?" I ask impatiently."The thing is I haven't really found her..." I spring up from my seat in anger before he can complete the sentence."But I finally have a lead. This is better than the fruitless clues we've been having for years" he pauses so we can process his words and I sit down again.I nod at him to continue talking and he does."As

Chapter 43**Esmeralda's POV**Mr Stone freezes after I ask the question. The dazed part of me wants to ask why he's hesitating but the sane part of me that has decided to be as professional as possible keeps screaming at me to move away. "What did you just call me?" He asks looking extremely puzzled.What did I call him? I then remember that I said Hunter instead of Mr. Stone. Way to go Esme, what a way to get fired. Calling your boss by his first name."I'm sorry Mr Stone, I didn't mean to...." "No, I mean how did you know that my first name is Hunter?" He asks looking suspicious.Does he think I'm a spy from another company?"I'm really sorry" I apologize again."How. Did. You. Know?" He asks again his teeth gritting."I heard it from that girl that mistook me for Sunflower or Daisy or whatever her name is on the day of my interview" I answer not understanding his sudden curiosity about where I got his name from."Which girl?" He enquires again."Your girlfriend. The one that wa

Chapter 44Hunter's POVI pause in signing the documents I'm currently working on when I hear a commotion going on outside. I wait for a few minutes and when the noise doesn't subside, I stand up to find out what's going on.Those people making such ruckus better have a damn good excuse.When I step out of the office into the corridor leading to the elevator, I see Blake and Tyler staring in shock at Miss Griffin.Oh God, not this again. "Where have you been all these years?" Blake asks."We've searched for you everywhere!" Tyler adds."This Daisy girl again? For the last time, I am not Daisy!" Miss Griffin says sounding frustrated.I quickly step forward before things get out of hand."Blake, Tyler, she isn't Daisy. Meet Miss Griffin my personal assistant. Miss Griffin, meet Doctor Blake the CEO of the Denovan's group of hospitals and medical schools and Tyler the CEO of the Grant's shipping company" I say; trying to make the introductions."Miss Griffin?...but...Daisy....I thought

Chapter 45Esmeralda's POVI stomp my feet in anger as I walk to the front of the humongous building to hail a cab. I really needed to fix my car soon. I didn't wait for long before a taxi stopped to pick me up. I describe my address and the driver nods before going back to ignoring me. When I get to my two bedroom apartment. I throw my bag on my couch with a little too much force. I blame asshole Blake for putting me in a bad mood. I go into my bedroom and change into a casual outfit before moving to the kitchen to microwave dinner for myself.While waiting, I decide to search up who the infamous Daisy everyone is mistaking me for is. I type 'Daisy and Hunter Stone' into the computer since I didn't know her last name. The computer loaded various articles, gossip blogs and pictures. I click on the first article with the heading "Heiress of the Heart group of hotels gone missing".The article was about how Daisy was supposedly kidnapped and murdered. This led to the terrible health co

Chapter 46Esmeralda's POV"Mr Stone?" I call out into the phone."You can't be dead, you just can't be" he sobs gut wrenchingly and my heart clench in worry.I notice the drawl in his voice and guess that he was probably drunk."Mr Stone, where are you?" I ask trying to sound calm."Tell me you're alive and you still love me. Tell me you don't hate me." he groans from the other side."Tell me Daisy" the pain in his shaking voice was so real that I felt it to my bones. I can't even start to imagine what he was going through right now."I'm alive" I say trying to ease his pain even though I'm not Daisy."Tell me you love me Daisy" he mutters."I l-love you Hunter" I say closing my eyes at the absurdness of it all.I had never told any guy I loved him except my father and brother, not even Jack. Saying it so casually is........I don't even have a description for how it feels."I love you so much Daisy" he says with his voice drifting off. My heart skips even though I know his words were

Chapter 70 Daisy's POV *3 months later* "Aww come on Daisy, I was joking, you can't seriously be mad at me for this" Hunter says and I grunt in response. "Daisy, talk to me" He says taking his eyes off the road for a few seconds to look at me. "Whatever, I don't care" I answer facing away from him and staring at my phone like there was something interesting on it. "Wait, are you jealous?" He asks grinning widely making me feel like kissing the stupid thing of his face. "Why would I be jealous of your 'new pretty personal assistant'" I respond making air quotes around 'new pretty assistant' to show I'm quoting him exactly how he said it. I had quit working for him a month ago to move to my dad's own group of hotels which he will be handing over to me when he retires. It also helps that I studied business management in college. My post back at Stone's empire has been vacant up until today when another P.A was employed by Mrs. White. We are currently on our way to a little get t

Chapter 69Hunter's POV"Don't even think of moving boy" A sadistic voice says from beside me.The person walks forward with his gun still pointing at me and I see the face responsible for ten years of misery in all of our lives: Levi."What pretty boy? Why are you glaring at me like that?" He asks with a grin and one eyebrow raised or maybe his two eyebrows but I wouldn't know since the other eye was covered with an eye patch."If it's money you want, I'll give it to you" I state my heart beating wildly at the fact that Eve still had her gun pointed at Daisy.On a closer look, I notice Daisy's chest moving up and down rapidly. The expression on her face was that of pure panic and she looked like she would pass out at any moment now.Angel, please stay with me.Levi laughs maniacally at my question before responding "Money? You think I want money? Come to think of it, maybe the reason I haven't killed my self all these years was because I knew there was a probability this bastard was

Chapter 68Hunter's POVI left Daisy at her Dad's place after talking to him for a while so that they could talk more. He was surprised we used his hair for the DNA testing instead of just asking him for his blood but I told him I didn't want to get his hopes up.Daisy said she would head to Keesha's place after leaving there so I told her I would send the driver down to her but Mr. Heart said his driver would do it.It made me happy to see how proud he was of who Daisy had grown into. Immediately after leaving there, I had called my friends and Daisy's friends to tell them about the good news. To say they were ecstatic was an understatement. They all promised to fly back as soon as they had chances to.Right now though, I'm heading to the office where Mike is waiting for me. I had thought that I would not be needing his services anymore since I found Daisy but something about seeing Eve again does not sit well with me.When Daisy passed out, I had rushed to her side and before I kne

Chapter 67Hunter's POVI stretch forth my hand to grab Daisy and pull her back to me but my heart starts beating in panic when I grab nothing but air.My eyes fly open and my suspicions are confirmed when I see no one beside me on the bed.Was it all a dream?"Oh, you're awake. I had to use the bathroom but I didn't want to wake you up" I hear her voice say and I turn to see her coming out of the bathroom making me sag in relief."What's wrong? Why do you look so shocked to see me?" She asks laughing as she puts her hair into a loose ponytail."Nothing, come here" I reply making her walk towards me.When she reaches the bedside, I pull on her hand making her fall on top of me."Where's my morning kiss?" I ask grinning up at her."No, I haven't brushed" she answers trying to wriggle out of my grip but that only makes me tighten it around her."How can you say no to such a cute face?" I say trying my best to pout."Stop, that looks so wrong on you" she says laughing and I pout harder

Chapter 65Daisy's POV"It's okay Angel, open your eyes, no one here is going to hurt you. Never again" I hear a soothing voice say and I suddenly open my eyes to see Hunter."Hunter, I'm bleeding" I say sitting up on the comfortable bed in a strange room. When I look down at my stomach though, I see no blood."What's going on?" I say holding my head to calm the pounding."Did Lily make it home safe? Wait, what happened to you? Why do you look old?" I say after looking at him more closely.He looked like someone in his late twenties.Hunter's worried gaze is the only thing I see before everything goes dark once more.*****************"She doesn't seem to remember the latter part of her life after the incident, Dr. Keller" I hear Hunter utter in a muffled voice."Let her rest some more, it'll all come back" I hear a female voice respond before I fall back into a dreamless sleep.***************For the umpteenth time, I open my eyes again and notice that it was already dark outside.

After a few seconds, I notice that her hands and legs are tied up. I hurriedly try to help her and then realize that mine are tied too.I struggle to sit up and only then do I notice that we are in a car and Levi is the driver while Miss. Violet sat in the passenger seat."Daisy, I'm scared, Why is your nanny doing this to us? And who is that crazy man?" Lily asks crying."Shut your mouth before I shut it for you" Levi yells while increasing the speed of the car."Listen Levi, you want me not her. She has nothing to do with this, she's not even family, let her go, please" I plead while I scoot closer to Lily who was shaking in terror."Miss. Violet, having her with us will only increase your risk of being caught. Please tell him to let her go, you don't need her. I'll do anything you want, please" I direct my words towards Miss.

We spent two more days there after the day Hunter asked me out and I felt really sad when I had to say goodbye to Hunter's friends who I can now boldly call my friends.Although Blake and I got off on the wrong foot on my first day at work, this camp made me realize he was actually a very nice person. Fun to be with too.I also learnt that he was going through a messy divorce and a custody war with his ex-wife who he referred to as the reincarnation of the devil.Blake and Bloom remained polite to each other throughout but nothing more. I got closer to Lily, Chloe and Bloom on the third day when men and ladies spent their days apart.It was so easy to feel like I had known them for a long time and they treated me as such.When we met for lunch with the guys, Hunter kept throwing me silly winks and kisses across the table and I couldn't stop giggling.I as a person don't giggle so I don't know what t

Do you think I'm like you? For God's sake, my boyfriend is nearby, you pig!" She yells and Hunter starts to move towards them dragging me along with him."Hey, hey, Bloom calm down. He won't try that again" Hunter pleads and Bloom eyes Blake in hatred before answering."He better not if he knows what's good for him" "Will you just let us talk for once?" Blake asks Bloom; anger audible in his voice."We have nothing to talk about. Hunter, do you mind if we switch partners?" She directs the last part towards Hunter and I."Sure" Hunter says letting go of my hand and pecking my forehead."See you later" he murmurs just before Bloom storms off making me follow her.We walk in silence for a while with her lost in thoughts but when I hear her sniffling, I decide to try to talk to her."Are you okay?"
