Dear Ex, I Want Your Brother Chapter 11: Here we go again
Daisy's POV I couldn’t believe what I had just seen. I took a step backward, then another, without even realizing it. My heart pounded in my chest, and my breath came in short, uneven gasps. A few weeks after becoming president, I hoped I wouldn’t have such a huge problem on my plate. It was my job to see it coming, but I didn’t—and now, no matter what, I had to fix it.The board members stood frozen for a moment, their faces slowly turning red as the shock settled in. Then, all at once, they moved toward me, their voices overlapping in panic."What do we do, Madam President?""We need to act fast! We’re losing millions!""We can't just let this slide! If we don't take action now, the company is finished!"Their voices rang in my head, making it hard to think. I stood there, trying to process everything, but my mind was blank. What was I supposed to say? What was I supposed to do?I swallowed hard, trying to calm the storm in my chest. "Um… can you say that again?" My voice came out

Daisy’s POVWhat a day I've been having!"I equally have an idea." So much for boasting at the gala.I groaned, rubbing my forehead as I slumped deeper into the couch. The pressure was real. Like a coconut shell without the meat or water, my brain was completely empty. I had just a few days left before the board meeting, and I had nothing."What on Earth will I do?" I sighed.I sat up, my fingers tapping on the armrest. Think, Daisy, think."Umm… an online boutique!" I perked up, then paused, my shoulders sagging. "No, we already have that," I muttered, shaking my head.I bit my lip and ran my fingers through my hair. "Maybe… a messaging app?" I whispered to myself, considering it for a brief second before dismissing the idea. "No, that already exists too."I let out a frustrated sigh. Nothing felt original. Nothing felt fresh. I had promised something groundbreaking—something innovative. And now? Now I was staring at an empty page with an equally empty mind.Deciding that maybe a cha

Daisy’s POV"I wouldn’t call it a date. We can say—" Liam hesitated, struggling to wrap his head around the word date.So let’s get this straight—Liam is asking me out on a classic ice cream date, but he refuses to call it a date."Uh-huh," I nodded, enjoying his discomfort.Liam sighed and rolled his eyes. "Who am I kidding?" He finally gave up. "Would you like to go on an ice cream break right now with me?" His voice carried a hint of nervousness, but at least he had defeated the awkwardness within himself.I smiled. "Sure, it’s been a long time since I had ice cream."Liam turned around quickly, trying to hide his excitement, but I caught it. He moved one of his arms up and down in a silent fist pump before turning back to me. His entire expression had changed—he looked relaxed and happy."I’ll just change into something real quick," I said, moving towards my room.As soon as I stepped into my gigantic walk-in closet, I froze. Rows and rows of expensive clothes surrounded me, but I

Anna's POVOh my God! What could Daisy have up her sleeve? I have asked everyone I know, but no one seems to have any clue. It’s like she’s playing some secret game, and I’m stuck in the dark. No one knows what she’s planning for the presentation."Any updates?"Trey barged into my study, his eyes filled with hope, but that hope was starting to look more like a fantasy than reality."None yet," I sighed, flipping my pen over my desk repeatedly. "I'm starting to think she was bluffing all along."Trey ran a hand through his hair. "What do we do now?" he asked, concern written all over his face."We wait," I said, my eyes still fixed on the flipping pen. "We don’t have a choice. Unless you have an idea?" I looked up at him, but he only blinked in confusion."This round, it’s just you against Daisy," Trey said, trying to pull himself out of the equation. "Not the both of us against her."I stopped flipping my pen and stared at him, my eyes narrowing."You seem to forget who got you to wh
Last Updated : 2025-03-13Dear Ex, I Want Your Brother Chapter 15: I didn't see this coming
Daisy's POVToday was finally the big day. I couldn’t be more excited to bring my new idea to life. I woke up before the sun came out so I could take my time and prepare properly. I enjoyed a long, warm bath that made me feel relaxed and ready to face the day. After drying off, I went to my closet and carefully chose an all-white suit paired with my favorite black Louboutin heels. I wanted to look confident, professional, and bold.When I grabbed my designer bag, I stood in front of the mirror and spoke softly to myself, as if I were giving a pep talk."Today is going to be the best day of your life. You are a confident badass. Go get the deal!"I smiled at my reflection and pushed my hair behind my left ear, thinking it looked pretty just that way. I then made my way to the kitchen to heat up something to bite on. I knew I could not be both confident and hungry at the same time—do you get me?When I reached the kitchen, I found Liam already there as usual. And oh my, he looked incred
Last Updated : 2025-03-14Dear Ex, I Want Your Brother Chapter 16: Why me?
Daisy’s POVThis has to be a bad dream I can wake up from, because if it isn’t, I don’t know what I’ll do."What the hell is going on here?" I yelled, cutting through Anna’s presentation. Everyone in the room turned to face me, their eyes wide and searching for answers. I could feel the tension rise as they glanced from Anna to me, unsure of what was happening."Is there an issue here?" one of the board members asked, looking first at Anna and then at me."Yes, there is a big problem," I said, my eyes fixed on Anna. I could see the calm on her face—as if she were not even surprised by my outburst. It made my anger burn even hotter."Anna is presenting my idea. It’s not a coincidence that we share the same PowerPoint slides, and the very same concept!" I continued, trying my very best to convince them. I spoke with passion, my stomach hardening because I had worked extremely hard on my ideas, and there was no way I was going to let them go without a fight."What are you even talking ab
Last Updated : 2025-03-15Dear Ex, I Want Your Brother Chapter 17: How do I comprehend this?
Daisy’s POV“Daisy, what are you talking about? What happened?” Liam’s voice was thick with worry, his brows furrowed in confusion. His reaction made my stomach twist. Was he still trying to deny it? Playing dumb as usual?Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably. “Are you seriously still pretending?” My voice broke, and I could barely breathe through the pain clawing at my chest.Liam put the cake down on the table and took a hesitant step toward me. “Look, I’m confused. I don’t know what you’re talking about.” His voice was steady.“So, you’re telling me Anna didn’t pay you?” My eyes, swollen and red, bore into his, searching for a crack in his expression—a flicker of guilt, anything.“She didn’t. I swear.”If she didn’t pay him, then why did he do it?I swallowed hard, forcing out the words that had been suffocating me since morning. “If she didn’t pay you, then why did you send her my presentation?” My voice trembled, my heart pounding violently against my ribs. “If you hated me

Daisy's POVRight now, I couldn’t care less about anything. I just needed to get to my office and do what I had planned for today. Work was the only thing keeping me sane. If I sat idle, I would think too much, and that would drive me crazy.It had been an extremely boring day at work, so I decided to drown myself in tasks again. Just as I was about to start reviewing some reports, the fax phone on the right end of my desk rang. I immediately picked it up.“Madam, there’s a man here who wishes to see you. He said he’s from Lock Tech Services,” Hazel’s sharp voice came through the receiver.“Oh yes, please let him in,” I replied before hanging up.A few minutes later, a man entered my office. The sound of his sturdy boots thudded against the polished floor as he walked in. He wore worn-out jeans and a black company shirt with the Lock Tech Services logo on the chest. A tool belt rested around his waist, filled with various locksmithing tools. A laminated ID badge clipped to his belt id

Dear Ex, I Want Your Brother Chapter 29: I will never let it go
Liam's POVThere isn't anything I hate more than having the ones I love in danger. The weight of responsibility sat heavily on my shoulders as I stepped into the house. The moment I arrived home, I didn't waste a second. I hurried toward Aunt Emilia's room, my heart pounding with urgency. We needed to have a serious discussion before Daisy appeared.I knocked at the door, inhaling deeply as I waited."Who is it?" Aunt Emilia's voice came from the other side, cautious yet familiar."Liam," I answered firmly.The door swung open almost instantly. "Come in," she said, stepping aside. Her eyes studied me, and I could tell she already sensed that something was wrong.I stepped inside, making sure to close the door tightly before speaking. The room smelled faintly of lavender, the curtains drawn to shield against the late afternoon sun. Aunt Emilia sat on the edge of her bed, her expression neutral but her fingers fidgeting slightly."How are you, Aunt?" I asked, scanning her face, taking i
Dear Ex, I Want Your Brother Chapter 28: Who The Hell Are You?
Liam's POVMy aunt is right. I've become too complacent. I don't understand what the hell is going on with me. Why do I think of nothing but Daisy? I need to get my act together. Immediately after I was done with the discussion I had with my aunt, I moved toward the stairs. As I reached them, I noticed the lights of the living room were on. I frowned, glancing at my watch. Who could be there at this time of night?Slowly, I made my way to the living room. My eyes fell on Daisy, who had just finished a glass of wine. She sat there, lost in thought, swirling the empty glass in her hand.I wanted to talk to her, keep her company, but I knew that would only make things complicated. I turned to head upstairs."Liam, come, let's have a drink," Daisy called from behind. Her voice was calm, almost inviting.I hesitated."Come on," she insisted, opening and closing her fingers in a beckoning motion.I immediately frowned, turning to face her. "Go to bed," I said coldly.I caught a glimpse of D
Dear Ex, I Want Your Brother Chapter 27: It Must Come To An End
Aunt Emilia's POVI can’t believe this little girl. The nerve she has to rub her skin on me like I’m her mother. The thought alone makes my blood boil. I just wish I could land a good slap on her face to put her in her place.As soon as I got to my room, I let out a frustrated sigh. This place suffocates me, but I have to endure it for now. I must complete my plan as soon as possible and leave this godforsaken house.I walked around the room, checking every single item. Everything here screamed wealth. The furniture was polished to perfection, and the scent of fresh lavender was in the air. Even the sheets on the bed felt softer than anything I’d ever slept on before. But none of this mattered to me. I wasn’t here to admire the luxury. I was here for one thing only—revenge.As I was inspecting a small drawer, my phone suddenly buzzed, snapping me out of my thoughts. I frowned and pulled it out of my pocket.It was him.That bastard, Mateo.I scowled and put the phone on silent. I wasn

Liam’s POVI almost got caught the other day. If I had been just a second slower, Daisy would have seen me, and everything would have been ruined.I exhaled deeply, still remembering the way my heart had pounded in my chest. I had barely slipped out in time, the pictures in my grasp. The risk was worth it, but I needed to be more careful.After my evening workout, my muscles ached, but the burn felt good. Sweat dripped down my face as I reached for my towel, wiping it off. The house was unusually quiet, giving me a moment to think.Daisy should still be at work. She never came home early, and I planned my routine around that. But just as I grabbed my phone to check the time, I heard it—The sound of a car pulling into the driveway.I frowned, walking over to the window. Peeking through the curtains, my suspicions were confirmed.Daisy was home.Why is she back so early?I muttered under my breath, quickly grabbing my things and heading upstairs before she could catch me in this state.
Dear Ex, I Want Your Brother Chapter 25: Like A Thief In The Night
Hazel’s POVThe past few days have been nothing short of a nightmare. My real boss—no, my real nightmare—was growing impatient with me. She had given me one job: gather information on Daisy. But Daisy was no fool. She had been getting suspicious lately, and to make things worse, she had even changed the locks on her office door.I sat at my desk, pretending to focus on my work, but my mind was elsewhere. My fingers hovered over the keyboard, typing the necessary data that Daisy needed. Every now and then, my eyes flickered toward her office, waiting for any opportunity to sneak in.Suddenly, the door to her office swung open, and Daisy stepped out, holding nothing but her phone. My heart pounded.“I’ll be back soon,” she said without looking at me.Then she walked out.I watched her leave, my body screaming at me to take this chance. I could gather as much information as I needed, but what if she returned too soon? What if someone else saw me?I clenched my fists, torn between my miss
Dear Ex, I Want Your Brother Chapter 24: The Aftermath
Daisy’s POVI walked down the stairs, surprised to see Liam standing by the door, holding a small parcel in his hands. His brows were furrowed as if he was deep in thought.“What do you think you’re doing?” I asked from behind him, my voice playful.Liam flinched, almost dropping the package. The way his shoulders tensed and how he swallowed nervously only made me burst into laughter.His reaction was priceless. I was so glad I got him real good this time.“Umm… umm…” he stammered, struggling to find the right words.I shook my head, still laughing. “Relax, I’m just joking.”As expected, his mood shifted instantly. Liam had always been too serious—especially in the mornings. For someone to be this uptight so early in the day was beyond me.“A parcel came in for you just now,” he finally said, handing it over.I took it from him, curiosity buzzing inside me. Who could be sending me something? Without wasting another second, I hurriedly tore off the brown wrapping paper.What I found in
Dear Ex, I Want Your Brother Chapter 23: Victory For My Wife
Liam’s POVThe scandal surrounding Turner Empire was everywhere. The hashtag #TurnerFlop had taken over every social media platform. It was all anyone could talk about. News anchors, business analysts, and gossip blogs were ripping Trey apart.Now, I finally understood why that idiot had called me. He had been trying to save himself. But it was too late.I drove fast, passing through traffic as my grip tightened around the steering wheel. The city lights blurred past, my mind racing faster than the car. The closer I got to the venue, the harder my heart pounded.When I finally arrived, the scene outside was chaos.Dozens of reporters were gathered at the entrance, some yelling into microphones while others frantically tapped on their phones. Camera flashes lit up the night, and the security guards at the doors were struggling to hold them back."Mr. Musk! Mr. Musk!" One of the reporters spotted me and rushed forward. "Do you have a comment on Turner Empire’s present fallout?"I didn’t
Dear Ex, I Want Your Brother Chapter 22: Bad Guys Always Win
Daisy's POV“Daisy hacked my app, and all she did was use an antivirus!” Anna’s voice cut through the cheers of the guests, drawing every eye toward her. I leaned in slightly, locking eyes with her, a smirk tugging at the corner of my lips. “Anna, oh Anna, you really never cease to amaze me, do you?” I said, my tone low and challenging.“Do you really think I’m that petty, that I’d stoop so low?” I paused, slowly shaking my head, letting the silence between us speak volumes.“Try harder, sweetheart. That line is growing tired.” My voice dropped to a whisper, and I leaned in closer, brushing my breath against her ear. I could feel her stiffen in response, fury boiling beneath her skin. “It’s becoming a joke,” I added with a slight chuckle, but she wasn’t laughing.“You have some nerve, little girl. Don’t make me remind you of your place.” Anna gripped my hand, but I pulled my hand free with swift, forceful precision.She stared at me, eyes wide, showing the white. “You have no one her
Dear Ex, I Want Your Brother Chapter 21: Should I help?
Daisy's POVTrey and Anna must be searching for every possible way to fix the app. I could see it in their restless movements, the way their eyes darted around as if looking for a lifeline. With a killer smirk on my face, I could bet they were already suspecting me. But hold on a second—why would I sabotage something I created?I love this app. More than anything, I want people to use it, benefit from it, and see it change lives. Why would I destroy my own work? That would make no sense. But I wouldn’t put it past Anna to have secrets she didn’t want to come to light. A well-placed loop in the app's system could do wonders in exposing them.Trey’s eyes stayed glued to the entrance, and I could tell he was waiting for someone. His fingers twitched against his folded arms, his jaw tightening. Whoever it was, they were running late.“Let’s see what has his attention,” I murmured under my breath, turning toward the door.To my utter shock, a fresh wave of media personalities flooded the h
