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 examination.She turned me around and checked every aspect of me like she thought something was missing and wanted to make sure I was still in one piece.“I hope you have been taking your medications?” She said, and I nodded “That is all I wanted to confirm, I know you will be alright” She hugged me again briefly and then let go.As I said before, everything is just blurry from here, and I need some explanation, and now I've found her, I think she will do the explanation for me.“Ma I have some questions,” I asked slowly to her.“Ma??” She laughed, “Oh dear you are funny. Now I know you do, but I have some catching up to do and just thought of seeing you briefly, once everything clears off, I'm sure we will see each" She beamed at me, and before I can think of protesting, she is already finding her way out of the door.I sighed, walking back to the bed, why am I here what the fuck am I doing with my life, here who is this??These thousands of questions made me stand up as if I had had enough already. Dressing up quickly, I left the room and went straight to the living.“Mrs. Anderson” The nanny of the kids greeted, standing up from her seat immediately.She looked scared just by seeing my face as she was sitting on the couch. Her head is bent low, and her hands are jammed together.“Good morning to you” She raised her head slowly and her eyeballs enlarged like I had said something that shouldn't be said. I shook my head and remembered I have a reason I was out there.“Can you get me a cellphone? Maybe a computer” I asked her tenderly.“Of course Mrs. Anderson,” She asked sharply and was already turning away as she did so.I watched her as she left for the other room, and then she is walking faster to find her way here.“The computer in the study room is working and the Wi-Fi password is written on the screen,” she said.“Thank you very much” I smiled at her, and then I'm walking to the study room I saw her coming out.When I turned back to look at her, she was staring right back at me like she had seen a ghost. What is that expression on her face??Without mind, I walked to the study room, and I looked at all the stuff and the books, and seeing them brought livid happiness to my heart, I love books.I settled down to the computer and after inputting the Wi-Fi password my hand itched at what to type.The first search came to my mind and I typed rapidly on it and now information is displaying on the computer for me to see.So much information on Damien Anderson and his family, his wife, and everyone closely related to him.He was one of the Country's most eligible bachelors for a long time until four years ago, he got married unexpectedly to Katherine Jones.It was stated that their marriage was full of love and made everyone wish they were in her shoes and some are alleging it was a marriage of convenience.Staring at the computer now I don't even know what to say, I scoff, definitely not a marriage of love if he looked at his wife that way.Also stated here that he is a billionaire who has wealth from investing in major shares of other companies after he founded his tech.Something brushes past my eyes and I click on the link, the accident of Katherine Anderson. It felt like my skin pickled at the sight of it and when I clicked the video, I'm watching as she is packed up in batches and the car was brutally destroyed.It was a miracle she survived, some comments had said.There was something about the way she survived, there was something I needed to know, which made it possible for me to be here. This question pricked my mind so much as I clicked out of the system.Now that I'm here I must have to find out the answer, but I cannot find that answer cooped up in that room without taking a step first.I turned off the system and stood up looking into the sky.“Whatever made you bring me here, I'm sure I will find that answer and the reason too”Somehow inside of me, that was all I needed, and now I've found a breather.With a smile on my face, I left the room and walked straight to the living room. Seeing me once again, she stood up from the floor where she is now seated.Before she could greet me, I raised my hand to stop her.“I need your help,” I said to her with a smile“My… My help??” She stuttered through her words.“Yes, your help. Can you please help me??” I asked her and after taking a look at me, she nodded.“Good, now take me to the kitchen”A surprise or rather shock flickered through her eyes, but she didn't oppose as she led me to the kitchen.From today, I will start living as Katherine Anderson.“Wow Mrs. Anderson, this is a lot” The nanny whom I've known to be Sarah seemed perplexed and shocked at how the food I had prepared came out.Even the chef who stood at a corner is watching me intently as he wouldn't just agree that I've made that food.“When I said you should trust me, what were you expecting??” I gave her a dotting smile and hers grew.The chef cleared his throat before the girl's smile died, and she is back in her mean stand.One thing I've detected through the time the three of us have stood in this kitchen preparing this meal is that Katherine was never the laughing one with the staff, and it came as a surprise when I accomplish just that.“Now all you have to do for me is take the food to the dining while I clean off this mess,” I said to the both of them.“No no Mrs. Anderson, I cannot let you do that. It's already a big sin enough that I let you cook and now clean? That's my work” The chef protested.“Of course I know it's your work but let me do it, at least
DAMIENNo one had noticed when I walked into the dining area, they all seemed too enchanted by whatever Katherine was saying to Thompson. It made me angrier that she thinks she can just come and speak to that boy and give him hope of being a good mother to him.“Dad” little Bluey climbed down her chair thanks to her nanny and ran to where I'm standing.No matter how angry I am, seeing my kids always brings this bright smile to my face.I carried her up, throwing her in the air as she always loved.Her little giggles are everything, and it certainly melts my heart.“Daddy's big girl” she giggled more as I pressed kisses to her cheeks before bringing her back to her seat.No need to turn and notice that Katherine is sitting directly beneath the dining where I always sat.I balanced on my seat and then looked at her, what exactly is her deal? Did she have a concussion ?“I was telling mummy how I scored a goal today daddy,” Thompson always said as happy as a bright moon when he speaks a
KATHERINE From a distance, I watch as the kids are loaded into the car as they drive off to school. I wasn't able to come out early to help as I had wanted after that very confrontation with their daddy.Which again makes me question what he had said, she wanted to give up on the children. This and other questions are on my head as I help out in the kitchen making sure they have lunch and dinner ready when they come back from school.I don't know when I will be here, and I just want to help from a distance.I heard a ruffling sound and headed straight to the living room where I heard echoes of voices.“I said take this stuff, are you deaf??” The voice shouted, followed by a loud shout.“What is happening here??” I am presented with a scene of the nanny with her knees on the floor as a lady and a woman who seemed to be the younger version of the lady are stepping over her.“Ah, I thought I heard you died,” the lady said with a smile on her face.I look at her confused by what she j
After waking up and finding out I wasn't Daisy married to Kenny instead I'm Katherine who is married to a freaking billionaire, I decided to mind my business and just lie low until whatever brought me here takes me back.So far, this wasn't the life I had expected from a Billionaire's Wife, but it seems that is it for now, though. Now I'm finding out that everywhere Katherine went, she had an enemy to herself, which brings me to this point.I don't have to sit down and settle for whatever is coming, I'm going to do my best and not lie low as I had planned.This brings me to exactly what I'm doing right now. This is the seventh luggage I have emptied in this room as I try to find answers.The only answers the chef and nanny gave to me was the fact that I don't speak to everyone and I freaking mind my business all the time, barely a week after giving birth to Star, the thirteen-month-old baby that I left him and traveled to explore the world.It all seems strange, why would a mother w
“Now that the kids are out, what should we do??” Sitting and relaxing on the couch, Megan said to me.She had a hopeful glance on her face as she watched me.I ran my hands together agitating before settling down on the couch opposite hersI don't know what their lives were like. Not only that, but I have no idea what this person might like or not, so I am perplexed about that part of her questions.“Oh my gee” she laughed out loud while pointing to my face “You should see your face right now” she laughed again, throwing her head to the back “You look shit scared like I have said something frightening" She shook her head“Oh…" I blinked twice hoping the face had made it away from me. Truly I'm shit scared since I don't even know what to answer.She laughed again before standing up and coming to sit beside me"It Is Okay" she touched my shoulder tenderly “I know exactly what we should do, it's what you love doing most. So with that, you will be able to recall a few”Holding my hand sti
DAMIENWithout wanting to, my eyes are back to the Givenchy watch on my wrist as I check the time again, I don't understand why I'm doing thatFinally, the nanny stood up from the chair as she took the kids away since they were done with their food.“Daddy, will you come and read bedtime stories to me??” Thompson said to me with his ever-beaming eyes that beg you for something, and you cannot but accept it.“Of course sweetheart” I placed a kiss on his forehead as he smiled more and stepped towards his nanny Sarah and then stopped “Will mommy be telling me the story with you, Daddy?” The guilelessness in his eyes, the hope that glares at me so brightly slammed a door right through my chest.This is the same reason I've wanted her distance from them, she has no single mother figure inside of her and the pretense is killing me so much especially knowing the kids are easily attached“We will talk about that later, now go ahead with your nanny." I shushed him off, and without appealing
Minutes later, we still sat down there staring at each other, I grabbed the duvet holding it tightly to my chest as I stared back at him“What are you doing on my bed??” I eyed him accusingly while not taking my eyes away from him.He scoffed and then sat upright, not minding that his chest was bare as he dragged a shirt over his body. I couldn't look away“Sweetheart if you look very well you will know who came to whose room,” he remarked, and then with a single move he stood up from the bedWait, my eyes weigh the room and yes, this place is fucking masculine with all the dark shades of green that are happening, it isn't the place I have been sleeping“What am I doing here, then??” I stood up from the bed and looked at myself, realizing that I am still glammed up in what I wore yesterday.“You should ask yourself that question, particularly when you stink of alcohol so badly” he gave me a mean lookI looked down at myself and without showing too much inhaled and yes, I fucking smell
DAMIENKatherine doesn't show the littlest emotions, she is one of the people that I know that doesn't hide the fact that everything is to her detest, and that emotion is a weakling to a personSo imagine how surprised I was standing not far away from her as she hugs Bluey.When she looks up and our eyes meet, I can see the sincerity in her eyes, the way the emotions she is enacting to her little girl are more than sincere and that threw me off the road“I love you, Mommy,” Bluey said to her and then pulled out from her body before she gave her a deep kiss on the cheeks, and then she is running back to her roomMy eyes follow my daughter, the delight that fills her, the way she and her siblings have been yearning for their mother's attention, and then finally she has it, it means a lot to her“I was just leaving your room” In all my thinking and non-attentiveness, I can see that she has moved away from the spot and is now standing close to meOf course, she still reeks of the alcoho
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
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
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
