Chapter 49Esmeralda's POVJack reluctantly steps back since the request was more like an order. He then looks back and forth between Mr. Stone and I for a few seconds before walking off.I take Mr. Stone’s hand and I collapse into his chest in relief as he pulls me close. “Are you okay?” He asks tilting my head up like Jack did but his touch is different and I get captivated in his hazel eyes.“Yeah, I’m just…” I trail off with a soft sigh as his thumb wipes the tear under my eye.“What the hell did he do to you?” He asks his hold tightening around me.“He’s just a jerk I used to know, nothing more” I say burying my face into his chest because I can’t help myself; he strangely makes me feel safe.His palms moves soothingly on my back but as it soothes, it also lights up a fire in me; the kind of fire that has never burnt for any man before.I move my hands from his shoulders and loop it around his neck.I'm only getting closer to him because we're dancing. That's what people do when

Chapter 50Esmeralda's POVWhat was I thinking? Of course, he thinks I’m Daisy.He has probably even had a few drinks. Damn, I’m so stupid.I pull back from the kiss and his confused eyes stare into my almost teary ones before realization dawns on him.“Esmeralda, wait! That’s not what I…Goddammit” He swears but I’m already on my heels as I disappear around the corner before he can see me cry.‘What the hell were you thinking, stupid?’ My sub conscious adds to the recrimination going on in my head.With shaky hands, I bring out my phone from my purse and dial Keesha’s number.“Come get me, please” I say.“Baby, what’s wrong? Don't answer that, I’m on my way. It’s the Stone’s hall right?” She asks.“Yeah, thanks” I croak out before she hangs up.Ten minutes later, she calls me to tell me she’s around and I move out of the ladies’ restroom I’ve been hiding in with my head bowed.Fortunately, I make it to the entrance successfully without running into Jack, Hunter or anybody else I might

Chapter 51Hunter's POV"My back?" Esmeralda echoes my words as if to make sure if she just heard me right or not"Yes, your back" I repeat calmly like what I just asked for wasn't weird at all.I had ordered that particular dress for her all because of one reason and that was to confirm if she was Daisy or not by seeing if she had the same birthmark as Daisy. I've been so distracted all night by her beauty to remember the reason why I invited her to be my plus one for the gala though."Why?" She asks shifting away from me suspiciously."Not that you need a reminder but everyone seems to think you're Daisy even though the chances are slim and you're probably just a doppelganger" I pause expecting her to say something but she maintains her silence."But for the sake of clarity, I need to check for a birthmark on your back" I finish explaining but she continues to stare at me for a few seconds like I was crazy before she looks down mulling over what I said.I know the moment she make

Chapter 52Hunter's POVNo! It can’t be! I run my thumb lightly over the mark as if trying to confirm if it was real or not. Is this really Daisy?“You’re Daisy” I whisper to no one in particular unable to raise my voice for some reason.“For the last time, I’m not…” Esmeralda starts to say as she snatches her strap and pulls it back up her shoulder but pauses when she turns around and sees the shocked look on my face.“You have the birthmark” I whisper almost as if I was trying to convince myself that it was really Daisy.I’ve waited for this moments for almost a decade, now that it’s here, I just can’t believe it. Something’s not adding up though.Here she is, alive and well with all proof that she’s Daisy but yet, she shows no sign of knowing me, my friends or her dad.“And So? A lot of people have the same birthmark in the same place” She says shrugging and when I continue to stare at her in puzzlement, she moves her eyes around the limousine uncomfortably.“I think I should go”

Chapter 53Esmeralda's POVWorried.That is exactly how I'm feeling as we drive to the hospital. God, I hope Mr. Heart is okay.I don't really know the man that well but from the little chat I had with him at the gala, I realized he lived alone with his dog. What about his wife? His children?For some reason or the other, I took a liking to him and his comforting presence. At the same time, I find myself wondering how Mr. Stone is related to Mr. Heart. Family friends maybe?"We're here, let's go" I hear Mr Stone's voice ring out and when I turn to look at him, I see him already out of the car with his palm outstretched towards me to help me out.I fit my palm into his as he pulls me outside. I expect him to let go of my hand after but his grip tightens instead. I follow him as he walks through the hospital door and instead of stopping at the front desk, he heads straight to the elevator.I ignore the sinking feeling that this creates in my stomach. Does this mean that this happens o

Chapter 54Hunter's POV"Bloom, Blake, now is not the time" Mark says wearily.I still can't believe the whole squad is here. It's been years since I've seen Bloom, Chloe and Daniel last.Although Daniel and I still talk on the phone sometimes.Daisy's disappearance really hit us all hard and everyone dealt with it the way they knew best. A lot of shit went down and people got hurt. The ones whose lives were affected the most were Bloom, Chloe, Dean, Blake and I."What are you guys doing here" I ask again already knowing the answer.Lily was up to something. Again."Lily called us saying something really bad had happened and that we should all come quickly. I had to cancel everything on my schedule and catch a flight. I was worried sick. Is everything alright?" Kyle answers.Was I talking to you?I resist the urge to say that out loud though because whether I liked it or not, my friends consider him as one of us.I find it hard to understand why because he's fucking related to the psy

Chapter 55Esmeralda's POV"No, no! What are you doing? You're crazy!" I yell.."I refuse to go down alone! Now stop trying to open the door, it's locked" A dark voice yells back."Help! Somebody help! OH MY GOD, WATCH OUT!!" I yell just as the car swerves off the road to hit a fallen tree and becomes suspended in air before coming back down and tumbling a few times. I scream with all my strength in horror and pain when I see blood pooling on the floor beside me."Esmeralda, Esmeralda! Wake up. It's okay, I'm here for you" I hear a soothing voice say and I feel arms wrap around me.I snuggle closer to the warmth and calm my breathing before slowly peeling my eyes open.It's just a nightmare. It isn't real.I look around and notice that I'm half sitting, half lying down on Mr. Heart's hospital bed with my head resting in the crook of someone's neck. What happened? Where is Mr. Heart?Raising my head up to see who it is, my heart starts beating fast when I see Mr. Stone staring at me

Chapter 56*Hunter's POV*"I'm ready when you are, Mr. Stone" Mike from beside me and I take a deep breath before nodding."Let's go" I say and follow Mike as he steps out of the car.We're currently outside Esmeralda's parents home and nerves that weren't there before start to rear their heads. What if I've been wrong all along?Can I handle the truth?There's only one way to find out.I glance at my wrist watch and notice that it's nine thirty; a pretty inappropriate time to have strangers visiting but I just can't find in me the patience to wait till tomorrow.In a few long strides, we're at the front door and Mike rings the doorbell. For a few seconds, it seems like no one heard us but footsteps approaching the door halts Mike from ringing the bell again."Who is there?" A deep male voice asks."We're here to see Mr and Mrs Griffin" Mike responds almost immediately."That doesn't answer my question. Who's asking? Provide a direct answer or I'm calling the cops""It's Mr. Stone, t

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

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

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

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?"
