I hated that smell, which was the first thing that hit me. Groaning, I am turning around as I hear a sharp noise and my attention is on the faces that are looking at me. They are so familiar. Someone with white rushed to where I was lying down on a bed, and the rest of the faces looked like they were waiting for a verdict from him. He said something and the rest of them disappeared. He was the only one in the room as he examined me. Furthermore, he held my eyes open and searched inside, bringing out a touch of light as he scanned inside my eyes. I wish I could see what he is doing, I wish I knew what the hell I am doing here. Finally, the sounds that rang in my head went away, and now I am staring into his face. “Are you okay? Do I feel pain anywhere? Mr. Anderson” He said, looking into my eyes. This man knew me, am I, Mr. Anderson?I couldn't seem to think of anything else as I just looked at him. He motioned to someone, and they came to where he was standing. He took a syr
EPILOGUE (DAISY)My favorite time of the day is waking up snuggled into his arms. He always holds me so hard to his body that I can barely move and once I try to escape from his hold he will push me back to himself. That always brings so much smile to my face, so much happiness that I can't begin to mention. “Are you awake?” His sleepy voice asked, and I tried to pretend I was still sleeping as I closed my eyes tight.“I could hear your thoughts so wild, and you know….”Laughter bubbled out of me as he tickled me “Stop it” I yelled, pushing his hands away from me as he got a hold of me and was still tickling me so badly. “Say please,” he said while still tickling me so hard that my chest hurt. “Never” I pushed his hand away, trying to stand from the bed, but he was so strong, and he caught me before I even escaped. “Okay, please Damien, please” His hand softened as he held me to himself. We are still on the bed now and panting a little from the play that we had just engaged i
The first thing I heard was a beeping sound, so slow not regular and the sound kept giving me a headache. I groaned and attempted to open my eyes and kept failing. Where the fuck am I?? I tried with my eyes again, and it turned blurry as what was in front of me was a big chair, occupied by someone, someone I cannot seem to see clearer. Twitching my hand as the first movement I could feel I hear a heavy sound and the person who seemed to be beside me is up. “Oh my goodness she is awake” I heard a loud shout followed by the stomping of feet and my eyes are opening a little as the image before started coming out clearer. From the shadows that surrounds me in the bed, I felt the presence of so many people, the shout, and the happiness that came from them kept my ears on a bud. “I cannot believe she is awake I told you she will not leave us” someone whose breath is on me, rather refreshing said as she leaned over her hands on my face. “Are you okay? How are you feeling my baby” she
FLASHBACKHas there ever been a time in your life when you felt it was just better to die than be alive again?Walking into the house that very day was how I felt. What is the use of being here every day when the treatment is undoubtedly how it will be and no change too.But regardless, I turn the key to the knob, opening the door. The house was flooded in darkness, so pitch I could barely see a thing.“Kenny??” I called outKenny, my husband, someone who was meant to take me away from all the sorrows I have felt growing up, who could have thought he would be the one to bring more sorrow to me??Walking to the path where the switch is I turned it on and the light came back to the house.I gasped, my eyes on the floor as I stared around the living room.clothes that have been shredded are littered on the floor, and clothes that don't belong to me,I held my chest willing the tears to go back, of course, I know my husband has been cheating on me, I have known this but seeing the eviden
“We are here,” the woman said pointing her hand outside the place as the car came to a stop.I let the grit of my eyes roam throughout the car trying to figure out where exactly we were, everything felt so confusing.She has the most amusing face I have ever seen, looking so radiant as those faces scrunch up in the most perfect smile.“I knew you were going to come home with our darling” she rubbed her hands on my shoulder in the most tender way possible.Things are still blurry, the last time someone showed me any bit of affection was my mom before she passed on, and right now, I don’t exactly know how to feel.The car opened up, and she climbed down before me, holding her hands out for me to do the same.taking a step I stepped down from the car and my mouth dropped open at the sight of the house.Nah this was a mansion. Sited in the middle of a big blend of a golden castle that steals the spotlight of the place.It has a gigantic structure that steals the place making the golden bu
DAMIEN ANDERSONKatherine has a fire in her eyes I've never seen before, yes she was never meek as a wife before the accident, but when I looked at her a while ago she had this look that made it almost impossible to see her as the same Katherine I had known.Ignoring that thought I checked my Rolex watch for the time as I am almost late for an important meeting.I should have headed for the meeting first. I do not know exactly what brought me straight to that God forsaking house instead of avoiding her for as long as she wanted.“Mr. Anderson, we are here” I heard my driver call out and turned my direction to his eyes on the mirror before looking outside and there was the office the meeting was holding.As usual someone is opening the door and rush of feet could be heard as I took a step outside the car.This is one of the office buildings owned by Anderson DC, the company I developed in my early twenties.My parents were prominent people, very well and the name Anderson was known by
KATHERINEI brace my hand on my knee as I watch the darkness, since everything in my life seems to be pitched with them, I allow the darkness of the night to warm me.Everything felt strange, the house, the bed, the kids, and most especially the husband.I do not belong here, I do not even know what the hell I'm doing here and what the fuck I'm supposed to do since God knows what has brought me into this place.My life with my husband as Daisy may not have been a bed of roses, but I have never seen a husband look at his wife with such coldness in his eyes, shrugging my shoulders since I have no idea of what transpired between them, I close my eyes willing the darkness to go away and the sleep to come in.But as I lay there, the only pitch I could see, the only thing clouding my eyes was the look he gave me when he asked me to get out of the room, so cold and live less.* * I watched the kids chatting and playing with their nanny as the morning came. I’m standing halfway to the livin
It's been two days and I found myself cooped up in the room without leaving there. I just wanted some alone time to think, and I've been asking questions.Yes, including shouting it out so that whatever spirit brought me to this place will give me some kind of explanation as to why I am here.But as I said, I've had some alone time and that didn't change the fact that there was no one to answer all the thousands of questions I have brought forward.I heard a sharp knock on the door and inhaled deeply before standing up to get it. I wasn't expecting the person standing at the door.“Oh, my baby girl” the mother of the girl grinned, and then tears are rushing down her eyes as she embraced me tightly.I'm still put in an awkward position, as I don't even know whether I should hug her back or not. She didn't mind and just kept holding me tight.“This is the reason I wanted you to be with us, but it happened this way." she left me, and then her hands still on me, she gave me a thorough ex

DAISYWhat are they up to? I was left alone for a while in my solitude when the door opened, and he was the only one who came back inside. Not a noise was heard on my part as I let him walk to where I was still tied. He looked at me without saying a word. His eyes were unpleasant, they almost reminded me of the Kenny that I had seen before, the one I went somewhere in my mind.“I see you are proving stubborn,” he said as his eyes went down to the food that lay beside me. I would rather not have a taste of even water from this place, I didn’t want to take anything that was theirs.“You are going to remain here for a very, very long time, so you better get used to it” he regarded me sternly before turning around.As he walked away, my eyes were fixed on his back, they were stiff.The last time my eyes held him, they were hiding something, his stiff back was hiding something.Now I wonder what this is about. It is very much obvious that he isn’t working alone, he neither has the money
My eyes bulged in shock at the person who stood there. I wasn't expecting to see him, I wasn't expecting to look at him right now as he stood there and gazed heartily at me. Of course, it was a fake smile, nothing was real about the fact that he had me locked here and now smiling at me. “Well well it seems I have finally had that audience with you” he grinned as he came closer. I tried saying something as anger welled up inside of me. My mouth was gagged, I could not say a word and even when I tried moving, of course, I was tied up. He walked closer and then stood meters away from me as I shrieked and made noises wanting to move away from here. I wanted to smack my hand right across his face, Kenny, why will Kenny keep me locked here? “I mean, why are you looking so shocked? You think I was going to let you off like that? You embarrassed me with that divorce letter and what? You are going off another person almost immediately” He laughed again and nodded to the person beside me.
DAMIENI checked the time again and again, but there was no still sight of her, and it was getting so late. Walking outside, I stood in front of the door and looked at the gate, hoping for it to open and for her to walk towards me, but as I stood, there was not a sign of her, this has me so worried. Not only have I been standing here, but I have tried the phone a thousand times, and it keeps going to voicemail, and I am legit worried. Calling my assistant, I demanded her friend's number as I had tried to search for it but didn't see it. She picked at the second ring. “Is Daisy there with you?” Once the greetings were over, I asked her.“No, she went back home like three hours ago, she said she wanted to get some groceries on her way home, and then I waited for her call but she still hadn't answered me. Is everything alright?”I have to tell her things are good before ending the call. She went to get groceries three hours ago and isn't back yet. There was only one place where she
Katherine“It can’t be.” The same widened eyes and gasp that came from Juanita was the same on my face as soon as I had seen the name.“How does that even make sense? They are not fucking married” I yelled so loud into the air like that was where my anger was, and I was directing it at that.This was so painful and annoying at the same time, this wasn’t how it was supposed to be.It was meant to be one of my children and in that way, I can claim every single thing he ever owned, but now it isn’t. I turned to Bluey who looked at us with widened eyes and I walked to where she was seated.“I have called someone that will take you back to your father, you and each one of you I don’t need in my life, now when they are here, you get out of this house because you are so very useless to me” I could see the tears that began forming in her eyes, but that has and would never be a concern of mine.I wasn’t interested in marriage or even kids until he came and proclaimed thousands of love and wi
DAISY“She can't be here.” I looked outside again and yes, the person who was grinning tightly as she cracked her head on the door was her, how dare she step into this place?I knew it wasn't my place to let her stand outside, especially when she was with Thompson, so I unlocked the door, and she let him in first. He hugged me tightly before running off to find his siblings. The door was still half open when she stepped inside. “Look who we have here, the new mother.” Her eyes twinkled from what she had just said as she stepped inside and looked around first, “Seems the father isn't here yet.” Thinking it was some funny joke that had just been told, she laughed. My face is still tightened, and my lips are pressed into thin lines as I refuse even the slightest expression to drop from my face. “What do you want?” I asked her to step more into the house, and she closed the door and followed me. I sat down on the couch, and she didn't, obviously preferring to stand. “I don't care h
DAISYA month and I am still pissed at Damien for what he did, he had assured me he knew exactly what he was doing. Today is the day that we get to see Thompson again. I was excited as I walked around the kitchen preparing his food. The others are in the kitchen as well, making the place very lively. The sweet thing about spending all the time in Damien's place is that Bluey had gotten to trust me. She likes me so very much now and always wants to be in the same space with me. “I want to know how to cook like you, Daisy,” she said from the kitchen table where I had placed her and Kai as they played. “That is easy" I grinned at her while continuing the cooking. “Wow here smells amazing” Damien walked into the kitchen looking at the mess that we had created. He laughed before dropping his bag on the table and walked to where the kids were. “My lovelies” He blessed them with thousands of kisses before walking up to me. My whole body tingled as he stood at my back. “You there,
DAMIENI was sitting in the office checking out all the work that I had missed plus thinking about the meeting and how it didn't go to my favor when the door banged open. “I said that you should.....” My assistant stood in front of the door as she tried to stop someone from getting inside, but she pushed her aside, and it was Katherine. “I have told you already that you will not stop me from seeing him, quite all this shit,” She said as she pushed herself inside and then looked at me. The weather was hot plus the whole place was sweaty and seeing her here already made the day worse than it already was. “She is already inside, you can go now,” I said to my assistant, who gave Katherine the longest of the eye stare before she pushed the door and left. Katherine smirked as she walked to the seats and pushed it open, settling down. “What do we have here? You seem to be in the wrong mood today” She grinned as she couldn't keep the fake smile away from her face. I had a terrible morn
