***Daisy's POV.***
“Meet our investor and my wonderful friend, Olivia Dupont. Livy, meet Peter, my secretary and Daisy, my new consultant.” Theo says in the introduction after we are seated.
Theo is sitting opposite of me while Peter is sitting next to my right side and Olivia to the left. She nods at us with a serene smile. I can’t help but notice she is beautiful. She has tied her brunette hair in an elegant bun and her brown eyes are shining in the light.
No wonder, during the dinner, Theo didn’t look at me once and my appetite died right away. I made so many plans for us and this happens. I should have prepared myself for this. It is the 21st century, of course a woman could be an investor.
***Daisy's POV.***Toby and I were in the same university, but he was more into painting and sculptures while I was interested in designing. I love painting too, but Toby is gifted in that field. But he mostly helps his father in business.His father is a good man and father, I must say. He always supported Toby in every venture and never expected him to take over his company. Senior Wright is an investor and also has his own security service giving company. The company not only helps find a good security for anyone but also hires people right for any kind of job.“Dad invested in Mr. Anderson's project, as he believed it would be beneficial. That is why I am at this party tonight, otherwise I don’t think I would have gotten an invitation.” Toby says as we w
***Daisy's POV.***Toby and I walked to the dance floor, where some couples were dancing. He puts his hand on my back and I on his shoulder. We move to the beat of slow music. This dance is nothing like my dance with Theo. Every move was more than just a dance and had no space to think about anything at all.Toby smiles at me and so do I. We were always comfortable in each other’s presence. From the time we met during university’s theatre practice, we hit it off. The reason was simple: we found a friend in each other, which we were desperately looking for. Me because it was a new place for me and Toby because he was shy back then and only let a few people in.“They are looking our way.” Toby says.&
***Daisy’s POV.***The tension in the car is something to be thought about. Peter already left early as he had to make a schedule for tomorrow, so right now Theo and I are in the back of a limo with a deadly silence which is making me nervous, which is also making me hate it.I thought something would happen after we left the party. But it is like after wearing my coat, I hid all the temptation from Theo, which sobered him up. I am an idiot to bring a coat. I should have brought a shawl. It is summer.But then an idea comes to my mind when we come to a stop in front of the hotel. I hope it works. I pray and come out of the door when he opens it for me. I walk past him fastly and enter the elevator. Obviously, as athletic as he is, he caught up with me.&nb
***Daisy’s POV.***I feel Theo’s burning gaze on my back. And as I come out of Toby’s arm, I can see Olivia’s astonishment at seeing Toby here through my peripheral vision. I can also feel tension in Toby, too.“You were saying something, Olivia? I didn’t hear when this guy called out so loudly.” I say as I put my hand on Toby’s arm and rub it.“Nothing. I thought Tobias would not come as it got late. So, I thought of telling you to come with us.” She says with a fake smile.“Oh!” I say.“Okay. So… bye. We shall see you tonight.” Toby says.
***Daisy's POV.***The rest of the ride was a bit silent from there on. Even Olivia and Toby were not speaking anymore like something happened when they were gone to buy our lunch. I changed my seat with Olivia when she came back as she wanted to discuss things with Theo.Toby was getting irritated and so was I when they were acting so close and their conversation changed from formal to informal. While Toby and I on the other hand played little games on our phone because we couldn't talk in front of them when they were so loud which they weren’t but we were using that as an excuse.When we reach Bristol, a limo is pulled for all four of us to take us to a villa which Theo bought as an investment and it is next to the hotel. Toby accompanied us as he wanted to see the progress of the hotel too then take me out for dinner where he would surprise me with something.I got changed once my bag came a
***Daisy's POV.***"Not this. Definitely not this one too. Where do you find a perfect swimsuit when you want one?” I ask myself as I surf through the shop for a swimsuit for Toby’s upcoming pool party.I had a busy schedule during the first week in Bristol and didn’t have time to buy a good swimsuit. It is not like I didn’t bring one with me as I am a water baby and swimming is in my soul. It is just that the one I brought with me is not sexy or cute in any manner.I had to tell Toby to postpone the pool party to next weekend so it would give me enough time to buy one, a day before the party. I had literally run from my work. The reason is Theo is keeping me way too busy on purpose so I won’t be able to meet Toby. Olivia is doing the same. As the fellow investor, she would hang around Toby for other property he should invest in.Last weekend, T
***Daisy's POV.***“Back off.” I say to the man who is not stopping.“But you said please feel something. You can’t go back on your words.” He says.“I will scream murder.” I say as I glare at him which makes him stop but only for a second.“Do you think I would have approached you with people around? They are far away and the music is loud too. Come on. Don’t get shy now. Let’s have some fun.” The man says and grabs one end of the knot.“Don’t you dare. This is my last warning. What would come after this would be painful.” I say.“Like a little lady like you could do me any harm in water. It is impossible to move fast in water, dear.” He says.“Not if you are trained by your own military retired father.” I say.
***Daisy's POV.***“We need to go home. It is getting late.” Theo says.“But it is my turn now, and I had an interesting one.” I say with a pout.“No. We are leaving.” Theo says and walks out, “I will wait for you in the car.”“Okay.” I say.“Olivia. Are you coming?” Theo asks her, and I look at her to see her entire face is pale.“You both go ahead. I have something to talk about with Mr. Wright here. Send my car back after he drops you.” Olivia says as she looks at the drink.“Okay.” Theo says.“Bye, Toby. The party was grand. Thanks for inviting us and I will see you.” I say and hug him and whisper, “Would you be okay?”“I would be fine.” He whispers
***Daisy’s POV.******Six Years Later***I love the summer breeze a lot. As I chill beside the pool and take a sip of my cool drink, I hear sounds of giggling and splashing around. Well, this has become my life now. As I think that three pairs of hands roll my chair over and I fall in the pool with a splash.“Theo! Kids! Seriously. Every time.” I say and look at my mischief makers as they giggle with their father.“Come on, Mom. You look too hot sitting in that chair. You must join us and get really cool in this summer.” Violet Marguerite Anderson, the eldest twin, says.“Yes, Mommy. Have fun with us. Please.” Aster Cassia Anderson, the youn
***Daisy’s POV.*** “What?” Theo says as soon as I am over with telling him the story and my planning. “I would have told you about this earlier but-” I say, but he cuts me off. “But you wanted to take the stress of that news alone.” He says and looks very upset. “No. I just knew that you would react quickly, and they would get alert. I didn’t want to give them another chance and sever them from our lives once and for all. So I let it happen. But don’t worry, soon everything will be fine.” I say. “How? I don’t care about that. The only thing I care about is how much of a stress this must have been for you and still you hid it from me. I don’t care about the rea
***Daisy’s POV.*** I look at the screen to see my babies are developing nicely. I am in the 15th week of my pregnancy and I was happy when I crossed my first trimester successfully. And all the thanks go to my doctor, dietician and Damon and Rocco. They have been there all the time for me. “Everything is going well. You can travel but only an hour or two long ride. But flights are still off limits for you. Also, after three weeks, you can know the gender of the babies. Are you excited to know?” She asks. “Yes. I want to know what I am having so I can start working in a nursery.” I say and she smiles. “So I am booking your appointment on 10th Jan. Will that do?” She asks and I nod. “Good. You will get the reports by tomor
***Daisy's POV.*** “I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.” The officiant says. I turn to my husband, and he looks to me with a broad smile which mirrors mine. He bends down and I eagerly await for our first kiss as a married couple. His lips touch mine and deepen the kiss. He backs off when someone coughs and turns to our little wedding party. It comprises Noah, Rocco, Damon and Lovey. They are our witnesses and also supporters. Our week till getting licence was good and Theo accepted everything happily. He seemed so excited that he got drunk last evening with Noah. We didn’t say our vows as we will say them on our wedding day whenever it happens in front of our family. But Theo wore a suit
***Daisy's POV.***“Theo, I want to ask you something.” I say as I eat one more bite of egg salad.“Ask me anything, love. It is all yours.” Theo says with a smile as he works on a file.“Really. You are in a good mood.” I say.“Even if I was not. There is nothing in this world that I will deny you.” He says and gives me a small cheek kiss as I come to sit near him.“So you wouldn’t mind if I say we get married this month?” I say, and he stops for a second.“No, I wouldn’t mind. When is the wedding?” He asks with a smile,
***Daisy's POV***“What are you doing here, Miss?” Rocco asks and I almost have a heart attack because of his sudden arrival at my side.“I’m trying to eavesdrop on them.” I say as I point at the two women who are right now trying to find a place to sit.“You can’t hear anything from here. And why are you trying to hear what they are saying? Who are they?” He asks.“They both know Theo and one of them is ex bed partner. Whatever, but another one is someone who was trying to trap him. We have to know what they are saying.” I say.“Give me your phone.” Rocco says suddenly.&n
***Daisy’s POV.***After coming to the penthouse, we discussed many things. Like why should I have a driver and maid? Why should I not drive and work too much? Why should I hire one more secretary?His every argument and point were right in its place. He didn’t want me to take too much load when I have complications in my pregnancy. I lost my will to argue with him anymore as I didn’t want to and whatever he was doing was for me and the babies.The reality that we are going to have two babies came down on us late at night. Theo was excited and nervous, thinking about how my little body could hold them in.“I would be fine and I’m not that little, okay?” I say.
***Daisy’s POV.***I reached the hospital and parked my car. I get out and walk as slowly as a snail in my heels. I have to stop wearing them, otherwise I can fall down. No. I will start wearing walking shoes, which would be good for gripping souls. I reach the cabin and open it to see the doctor is with someone.I turn to leave when Theo says, “Daisy, you are finally here. Come in.”I look at Theo for a full minute and ask, “Why are you wearing this?”He is wearing a white t-shirt, black jeans, and a black biker jacket. He has put on a cap and mask to hide his hair and face and goggles to hide his eyes. He looks more… hot like a bad-boy. I want him.
***Daisy's POV.***“You do love me. But I can promise it is not more than me.” Theo says and peppers kisses all over my face and neck.“It is more. So much more.” I say and moan out when he sucks just below my earlobe.“Then show me.” Theo says and his eyes glowing with that soul consuming wanting.“Gladly.” I say and go to kiss him, but a little meow stops me.“Now you decide to show up.” Theo says with an irritated look.“Theo!” I say and glare at him.“See, she
