Daisy's POV
The excitement I was feeling was out of the world as I stepped into the club with my best friend; Maria. The excitement wasn't just for the fact that I was now a high school graduate but the fact that I would be going on a vacation with my ever-busy father, to Hawaii.
As a high school graduate at 18, I felt like an adult already and that feeling was awesome.
The club was filled with high school graduates from different schools in New York. I knew I was going to be the center of attraction among my classmates.
I walked elegantly with pride and confidence. My dress was ordered from the best-known fashion designer in New York. It was a white short flowery gown with touches of brown flowers that looked like lilies. My heels, purse, and jewelry were diamond in color and they were flashing in the evening light.
"Hey Daisy", Becky waved at me, squealing in excitement.
I stopped walking and responded. "Hi Becky, whatsup?" I asked with a smile.
I'd say Becky was my second best friend but sometimes, I feel she didn't deserve that title. She behaved like a chameleon. Always off and on.
"I'm cool. You look great", she smiled at me sweetly.
I found the smile genuine and I couldn't help but return the smile.
"You look awesome too." I complimented her. She was in a blue dress and it was very short, showing all her thighs.
"Where is Maria?" Becky inquired.
"There", I pointed in the direction of the front door. Maria was sitting on her boyfriend's lap, they were making out.
"Crazy girl", I muttered and Becky giggled.
"Hello everyone", the head boy of my school; Stanley, stood on the podium as he made use of the megaphone.
"Hi", the students roared.
Some of his admirers were throwing invisible kisses at him.
I shook my head. I was the school head girl but never got along well with the head boy. He was too arrogant and proud and I detest people like that. My late mother taught me to be humble, generous, and kind to people.
The head boy, Stanley, asked me out on several occasions but I always turned him down. He felt hurt by the rejection and we had been sworn enemies since then.
"Is st. Raymond Elementary school here?" He asked the crowd looking at the long list of schools in his hand.
The students of st. Raymond Elementary school yelled in response, signifying their presence.
The students of Biotechnology High school jumped up in excitement to signify their presence, same with Bronx High School of science.
"We are present", the students of Bergen County Academics and Stuyvesant High school responded when Stanley called the names of the school together.
Stanley called out all the remaining five schools present as they all screamed in response, including my school, Townsend Harris High school.
"Great, let's party then", he concluded and jumped down from the podium, signaling to the DJ.
"Hello sunshine", a tall guy stood in front of me as I stared at those people who were dancing. I could see Maria and Eric at the other end as they danced crazily and I laughed.
Even though I was excited about the party, I was beginning to feel uneasy.
I haven't responded to him before he said, "You light my world the moment you step in."
I scrunch my face in confusion. "What?"
"That's a pickup line", Becky commented.
I burst out laughing at Becky's comment. "A pick-up line? It sucks." I laughed some more.
The guy was handsome no doubt but, what sort of pickup line is that? I asked inwardly. The first thing you say to a girl is a pick-up line? That's absurd!
The guy only smiled as he stood with his broad shoulders confidently, twirling his fingers around the glass of wine in his hand.
"I'll excuse you two", Becky whispered in my ears and disappeared before I knew it.
"What planet are you from?" I turned fully to face the guy.
"Planet Earth." He replied.
"Shall we dance?" He requested and I nodded without hesitation.
"Let's dance it out", I shouted so my voice could be heard above the loud music.

Damien's POV
She truly lights up my world the moment she walks in. She looked like a princess and she was indeed a princess. She got not only my attention but also the other guys from my school.
There were whispers of her name from those whom I presumed to be her classmates. I had my ego to protect but I couldn't just sit and watch another guy make the first move.
I ignored the fact that there were a lot of girls at my beck and call. The girls I like and even those that I don't. They fall for my charms easily and I do not need to exert much trouble to get any girl I want.
Daisy, as they called her, looked innocent and beautiful. I was sure she wasn't like the rest of the girls who threw themselves at any random guy as long as he was good-looking or wealthy enough.
I went to talk to her and asked for a dance. Initially, I thought she was going to reject me but when she nodded, I felt relieved and happy that things were going perfectly fine, just like the way I wanted and loved it.
I hated it when girls tried to play hard to get. It turned me off. No matter how much I like a girl, once I am rejected, I'll begin to dislike her.
'Who the hell rejects a handsome guy like me? No one' I thought to myself with a smirk as we danced.
Her lips were so soft and looked attractive. I couldn't resist the urge to kiss her while we were on the dance floor. I felt myself getting hard after pecking her on the forehead, her beautiful long nose, and a quick one on her lips. She was surprised by my reaction but quickly covered it up with a smile.
I felt relieved.
I found everything about her enchanting, including her green peanut eyes and her curly brown hair. I was sure she'd look more attractive beneath… I mean when naked.
"Shit", I cursed.
"What's the matter?" She asked with concern as the music was halted and the students yelled.
"I'm a terrible dancer", I lied.
She laughed. Her laughter sounded like music to my ears and I couldn't help but laugh out too.
"Terrific is the word", she pointed out.
"Nah! You're trying to make me feel better. Can we sit?"
"Sure, my feet hurt."
"Sorry, milady", I bowed and led the way.
I didn't take her to where I was formally seated with my friends. They'd ruined the day for me and I wanted it to end well and right, I grinned with a plan already forming in my head.
We sat close to the bar and talked about random stuff as I poured more wine for her and myself. She was more of a great listener but I urged her to talk more. We discussed our school life experience and our hopes for a brighter future.
Each of the school head prefects went to the stage to deliver their speech as we talked on and on. Daisy's school was the last and when Stanley was done with his, Daisy was called.
"You're the head girl", I asked, escorting her halfway.
"Yep."
"Well deserved", I said and earned a smile from her before she went up the podium while I stood and watched her talk.
She rounded everything up and it was a great speech indeed. There was a standing ovation for Daisy and I felt glad.
I couldn't deny the fact that Daisy was humble and down to earth. People of her kind talk to people rudely and are mostly arrogant.
Frankly, Daisy had an amazing personality. She came back with a smile and I stared at her lovingly. I felt myself getting hard again and I cursed.
"What?"
"Let's get out of here", I said to her.
"Where?"
"I need fresh air. My car is outside." I replied.
She was hesitant for a while before saying, "Alright", with a smile.
I'd never felt the way I felt that night before. Ladies always try to seduce me and that puts me in the mood for sex. But seeing Daisy alone is enough to make me aroused.
'We might never see each other again after today. Our worlds were different. But I needed to do something to get her out of my head', I thought.
We got to the car and she pulled me to herself before I could open the door. A flicker of embarrassment flashed through her face as she looked at me and stammered.
"I..I..was..wondering what it feels like to kiss someone. Have you ever kissed before?"
'What the hell?' I said inwardly. She couldn't get over the quick kiss I gave her on the dance floor.
"You haven't been kissed before?" I asked, trying to hold in my laughter.
She shook her head and I burst out laughing. She looked hurt and I muttered. "Sorry, I didn't mean to…"
"It's ok", she cut in, trying to get away.
I pulled her back and my lips lingered near hers almost touching, as I pinned her to the car. My heart started fluttering like a hummingbird as I stared at her slightly parted lips.
I wanted to taste her lips so I pulled her closer and crushed my lips to hers. It was sweeter than all the wild berries I had tasted before. Before I could continue my exploration, she pushed me away abruptly.
She shook her head frantically and whispered. "No...this is not right."
"You need to have a bit of experience Daisy '', I tried not to show the effect she had on me, hoping I'd be able to convince her. I didn't want the day to end like that. I wanted her.
"Let's get into the car. We need some privacy", I hugged her and used the car keys to open the driver's door.
Afterward, I quickly opened the back seat for her from the inside. Then, I told her to get in the back seat. She looked at me and I nodded at her in encouragement.
She wanted to say something but I hushed her up with another kiss. I had to pull away as I felt a strong force beneath me. My beast was alive and impatient. It felt so strong like it would soon burst out of my trousers.
"Go in, baby", I muttered softly with desire.
She went in and I closed the door before entering the driver's seat, before pulling out of the parking lot to a darker area.
"I wouldn't want your schoolmates passing by to see you doing some practice", I explained and she chuckled.
I came down from the driver's seat and joined her at the back. She tried to initiate the kiss and I let her before taking over.
My tongue traced the outline of her bottom lip in an erotic dance with my hands exploring uncharted territories. I squeezed her boobs and she moaned.
I smiled. "This is a weakness," I said to myself.
"Are you getting the lessons?"
She nodded and pulled my lips into a searing kiss. I squeezed her boobs again and she moaned out loud. I removed my entire clothes and she did the same.
She wanted to say something but I shut her up with another kiss.
"No", she almost yelled, breathing heavily like someone who just did a marathon. "I don't want to have sex, please."
"I won't hurt you", I told her as she tried to get up.
Daisy wanted to ruin my day, I thought to myself as I smiled wickedly and pulled her down, guiding myself into her gently as she cried out in pain.
Daisy's POVThe rays of the sun penetrating my window curtains surrounded my room and woke me up.I opened my eyes and realized it was a new day. I tried to jump down like I do every morning. I usually jump down from my bed, keep my feet in my pom rug for a while to massage it before going over to my exercise area.I always make sure to exercise every morning to keep fit and for my butt. I used to have a very tiny waist but ever since I started my daily exercise routine, the story changed. When I first got into high school, my friends used to make fun of me because of that.As I tried to jump down, I let out a cry of discomfort as the memories came rushing back. The memories of the night before.My body became weak all of a sudden
Daisy's POVI was in dad's office helping him to clear out some files on the table. I was to put the old files into the cabinet and put the new ones into his drawer.That way, he'd know which file to deal with after our vacation from Hawaii. He begged me to help him out while he went off to a meeting with his crew members. He promised to be back as soon as possible.Dad had a telecommunication firm and he told me he had made acquaintances with some publishing companies. He said if I ever muster the courage to finish a book, he was going to help me talk to them into publishing my book.I really wanted to write a novel that I can use to impact the world. I wanted to write teen fiction since I was still a teenager but then sometimes I felt like writing non-fiction.&
Daisy's POV It was two days to our trip to Hawaii and dad came into my room that morning to explain what happened in the office the day before. I still couldn't believe it so I ignored him. "Your mother has been starving me", he defended himself and I got angry. He usually calls aunt Susana my mother even though I always tell him that she wasn't. "Starving you? Is it the hamburger that you can't do without?" I retorted in anger. He smiled. "Princess, you're still a little girl so I'd assumed you won't understand." "Little girl, dad? I'm 18 for goodness sake.", I almost screamed. "When did all of these start? Even though I don't like Aunt Susana and you know it, she is your legal wife and you shouldn't be caught cheating on her. How will you feel if she cheats on you? And of all people, Lizzy? I liked her." "Lizzy is an amazing lady." He uttered. I scowled and was about to answer him when Maria barged in. "Dee..dee, what's up?" She asked and apologized quickly when she saw dad wi
Daisy's POVAndrew drove Maria and me to the party. The music was loud as always and I had to adjust to the loudness. Maria greeted some of her friends from other schools and I did the same, even though I had never seen their faces before."You must be Daisy?", a pretty girl asked me.I nodded and she smiled looking at me from head to toe. "You are beautiful and I love your dress.""Thank you", I smiled in appreciation.It was a pink dress. It was among the clothes Dad bought for me from Florida, which I rarely wore.We ventured into the house and I saw Stanley approaching with a smirk. "You came?""Yes, any problem with that?", Maria questioned with an eye roll and dragged me in the other direction. "I heard he is dating Becky now", Maria announced."Becky? What is she doing with a playboy like him?"
Daisy's POVI woke up feeling nauseated and in a bad mood. I was unhappy because Maria was living that day and because I had sex with him again.My vacation with dad was the next day and I wasn't prepared."You had sex with him again", my subconscious mocked."Oh Goodness!" I mentally slapped myself. I still did not know his name and I didn't bother to ask.I remembered Stanley called his name but I couldn't recall if it was Daniel or something else. I touched my private part and I realized there was little pain unlike the first. He was completely gentle and he kept calling my name as we made love.The nauseation was back and I quickly rushed to the bathroom. I puked till there was nothing left inside of me. I rinsed my mouth and came out of the bathroom to meet aunt Susana sitting on my bed."Why are you puking so early in the morning?" She questioned. "Is there anything you are hiding from us?""Good morning, aunt Susana", I greeted politely
Daisy's POV"Aunty, what the hell are you saying?" I growled, looking at the EPT pregnancy test kit in her hand."I know a pregnant woman when I see one", she smirked. "See?" She pushed the kit to me. "Take it or I would be forced to believe you are pregnant.""No.""You are pregnant, Daisy", she grinned proudly."Aunt, I'm not pregnant.""Haven't you been having sex?" She questioned all of a sudden."I...I..haven't, aunt", I stammered."Let's see what would happen when your father hears this", she turned back and left me in the bathroom, hurrying downstairs to look for her phone."What the hell does this woman want from me? Won't I know if I am pregnant? There is no baby inside of me, no form of movement. I'm not pregnant", I said to myself, hoping that was alone to convince me.When I got home from the airport, I met her waiting for me. I greeted her and went upstairs. When she asked me where I was coming home, I was tempted to roll my eyes at her and
Three months after dad's death, I was already a shadow of myself. The only thing that kept me alive was the joy of becoming a mother soon. I barely go out. I don't dress up or do anything worthwhile, except to sleep, eat, and cry all-dayLizzy came to sympathize with me but I didn't allow her in. I heard her telling aunt Susana that my attention was needed in the company. I watched Lizzy from downstairs and I realized she had a baby bump too. It was not as little as mine.I couldn't believe my eyes and I thought about the possibility of dad having a child with his secretary. A posthumous son or girl.Aunt Susana didn't inform me of what Lizzy said to her and the next day, she got dressed and went to work. She began to go to the company daily. That was when I realized the essence of Lizzy's visit. She wanted me to take control. But I was scared. I was just 18.How can I control and manage a company at this tender age? I asked myself."Tender age yet you are pregnant?"
"Where is my fate leading me to?" I asked myself as Lizzy drove me off to the airport."Are you sure about this?" She asked for the umpteenth time, trying to convince me once again from going away."Yes, Lizzy. There is nothing here for me to hold onto. Everything is gone.""The company needs you. You are the rightful owner", she said."No. I'd rather let go of it than lose my life. Aunt Susana is a desperate being. Besides, your little baby also has a right to the company too."I had sneaked out of the house at the early hours of that morning, even before aunt Susana was awake. I was able to pack the little I could but I couldn't get a hold of dad's credit card because it was in the master's bedroom and I was scared of going up there.I couldn't find my phone either. I didn't know whether I lost it on my way home the previous day or maybe aunt Susana took the phone before leaving my room that day.Andrew offered to drive me to the airport bu
Nina's POVI was in the bathroom when I heard Damien come into the room. I heard him asking of me and Amar told him I was in the bathroom. I was having difficulty bending down to wash my leg and private part because I was heavily pregnant.I thought Damien was out until I began to hear him whispering. Amar did the same too and I couldn't comprehend what they were talking about. I rinsed the soap off my body, washed my hair, and allowed the to water wash through me once more before putting off the shower and tying my towel around me. The towel was different from the one I was using before my pregnancy because the one I was using was too small for me. I had to get a bigger one.I opened the door slightly to see Amar and Damien still whispering some words to each other. The only thing I was able to grab before they looked up to see me staring at them was "Daisy."My curiosity got the better of me. "What are you two talking about?"Damien gave me a boyish
Damien's POV"Happy birthday, darling", I scooped Ellah up in my arms and kissed her on the forehead."Thank you, daddy" she grinned. "and thanks for the gift", she held onto the doll I got for her tightly and I smiled. I was glad she loved it. "I love you.""I love you too, sweetheart.""Ellah, you love your dad? What about me?" Daisy questioned with a pout, folding her arms."I love you too, mommy", she chuckled and I laughed softly."What about me?" My mom also appeared from nowhere with her protruding belly."I love you, granny.""I love you more", mom said as Ellah struggled to get out of my hold. I dropped her and moved close to Daisy. She was busy cutting Ellah's birthday cake and distributing it amongst Ellah's classmates who came for the birthday party.My hand found it's way to her waist and she looked up at me."Let's get away from here", I whispered close to her ears. She began to shake her head in disagreement.
Damien's POVShe was like a magnet. I couldn't get enough of her. She was still as tight as I could remember and that pulled me over the edge. I lost control and made love to her over and over again till we both fell asleep.When I woke up, I saw her staring at me with loving eyes. I knew I had earned her forgiveness and I was hoping I won't mess up again. It hurt to see her hurt. There was no doubt about my feelings for her. The feelings I tried to deny when I saw her on the staircase that evening. The fact remained that I was still in love with her."I missed you, Damien", she whispered.Her voice alone turned me on. I wanted to respond but I couldn't. The only thing on my mind was making love to her again. I wish we would stay there all day long and forever in each other's arms. I took her lips, bit her softly and caressed her cheeks. She moaned and it turned me on. I tried to straddle her so I could take her again but she pulled away. I couldn't read her expr
Damien's POVI hadn't seen Daisy since the night she slapped me and I was filled with nothing but remorse and guilt ever since the night. I felt it was necessary to ask for her forgiveness. When I got into the house, I went straight upstairs to her room."Your boyfriend...." I heard mom saying to her as she giggled."Boyfriend?" I demanded, entering the room fully. I was with a frown on my face. I wondered who the boyfriend was."Yes, her boyfriend", mother said vehemently. "She's going out with him tonight. Any problem with that?" Her arms were on her waist with her belly poking out."Nothing. I just came to ask for Daisy's forgiveness. I'm sorry for whatever I must have done to offend you, Daisy. Find a place in your heart to forgive me."She nodded in response without uttering a word. I guess that was her way of saying my attention was not needed so I turned back to move out, without any further word or looking back.I got to my room and s
Daisy's POV"You shouldn't have slapped him", aunt Vanessa queried me when we got home. Ellah was asleep in Nina's arms and Damien was nowhere to be found."He deserved it", Nina remarked. It almost made me smile.She was a great woman indeed. If it were other people, they would have turned to support their son but Nina was different. She stood by me.....for the truth, even though he was her son. I was sure she would have done the same thing if it were someone else. She was amazing and I loved her more."She shouldn't have done that in the presence of Ellah", aunt Vanessa insisted. There was no reply from Nina. I guessed she agreed with aunt Vanessa on that. "The poor girl wouldn't stop crying until her father said something into his ears that got her grinning from ear to ear. I'm sure it was the name of chocolate that made her happy again."None of us replied. I sat on the chair beside Nina and closed my eyes, rubbing my finger over my forehead, hoping the
Daisy's POVWe watched as Aunt Vanessa jumped into Danny's arm with tears streaming down her eyes. Danny didn't recover from the shock until aunt Vanessa kissed his lips and called his name again. Nina looked at me with a puzzled look, and I nodded at her with a smile, hoping she got the message.I was happy for aunt Vanessa but when I remembered what I was doing before then, sadness engulfed me as I watched Nina dragging my box back upstairs."No, mom. Please." I pleaded with her and tried to stop her from dragging the box."Please what?"I shook my head. "I can't stay here anymore. I can't." I sniffed."Daisy, you've been here for four years......""Please, this is what I want. I can't do this. It's torture.""Daisy", Amar called.I kept shaking my head. I didn't want them to convince me. I didn't want to stay. I was tired of holding onto lost hope...it was just like being hopeless. I wanted to be far from Damien. Being close to h
Daisy's POVA week after arriving from the Philippines, I went back to school. The house was unusually quiet. I was no longer comfortable and I was finding it hard to continue calling Nina my mom. I barely go out of my room, except when I was going to school or when I want to go and pick Ellah up from school whenever Nadia wasn't around.I saw Damien once when he was going out in his father's car and Richard was driving inside the house with me. Our eyes met for a brief second before he looked away.It is obvious I mean nothing....absolutely nothing to him, I said to myself. He seemed fine to me like nothing happened, like everything was fine and normal but I wasn't feeling that way.Knowing we live under the same roof was pure torture, seeing him was hell, and knowing what we had was nothing to him made me feel miserable. For the first two days, I cried myself to sleep.I hated myself for thinking and holding onto what we shared that night and I hated
Nina's POV"You mean you were the one that had sex with Daisy all along?" I queried Damien."What do you mean all along? It was just a one-night stand." He replied and I gasped at his bluntness."One nightstand? You had sex with her twice.""She told you that? How did you even know her?""Are you seriously listening to yourself? She gave birth to your child."He scoffed. "How am I even sure the baby is mine ?""Damien", I called and moved closer to him. Then I slapped him. Tears were streaming down my eyes already.Who would have thought I took in my grandchild? I asked inwardly. What would have happened to Daisy and Ellah if I hadn't taken them in? Daisy suffered alone because of my irresponsible son.I was disappointed and his statement increased my disappointment and anger. The memories of my past came rushing. How I had to fend for him, care for him alone without his father."Mom, you slapped me?" He questioned.
Daisy's POV"Who the hell is Lizzy?" Grandmother lamented.I shook my head. She was too choosy when it comes to her association with other humans. I was sure she doesn't like Lizzy just from the name. Grandmother was insisting that we get the company back. That was when I told them about Lizzy.I stayed back in the Philippines because my grandmother insisted I stay. Aunt Vanessa supported her. We discussed a lot, including Aunt Susana.I also got to meet Fred, aunt Vanessa's son. He was an intelligent and smart kid. When aunt Vanessa told him I was his aunt, he hugged me fiercely asking me different questions about where I stayed and about Ellah."Dad had an affair with her and she got pregnant. She informed me about the bankruptcy and that Susana wants to sell the company. Nina wanted to help me but I refused. I didn't want her to waste her money for nothing. Lizzy later called to inform me that she bought the company already."
