Daisy's POV
I 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.
My father's story is worth writing about. The love story of my father and mother.
Even though I was still little when mom died, I could see the way he treated and loved her right. Mother was the apple of his eyes. She was a very calm and patient person and she was the brain behind dad's success in the telecommunications world.
I was 8 years old when she died of cancer. A year later, Aunt Susana, my mom's friend, came to live with us with a baby bump. I was happy at first when she arrived because I was fond of her. She kissed and hugged me in the presence of dad.
The next day, I went into the masters' bedroom to ask her why she was sleeping on the same bed with dad when she told me to shut my trash or she'd send me to my mom in heaven. I cried bitterly and told dad that I wanted mom to come back home and take her place.
When I first menstruated, I went to dad to ask him what the blood signified. He told me the little he could and referred me to aunt Susana so she could teach me how to use a sanitary pad. That was three years after she had given birth to Joan.
Joan died at age 3, on my 13th birthday.
I went to meet her with my soaked clothes and she sent me away. I hated her since then and I knew the feeling was mutual. As much as I try to tell dad that aunt Susana was a gold digger, he wouldn't listen.
Maria came to my rescue. She was 3 years older than me and she already had the experience. Maria and I have been friends since childhood. She was amongst those who had always taunted me for my young age and tiny body since kindergarten. I loved her for her carefree nature, nothing seems to ever bother Maria.
She told me she lost her virginity a week after seeing her first menstruation. That was one thing I disliked about her. She was too wayward and she seems to be enjoying it, not until Eric came along. I think she's faithful to him but I fear she might cheat on him one day.
Maria doesn't care if a guy dumps her. She claimed that instead of mopping around the house in tears like a widow because a man dumped her ass, she'd rather go out and look for another guy to fuck the living hell out of her.
I've never seen Maria cry, not even the day her father died. Her mother barely had time for her and Maria sleeps alone in the big house most of the time.
I knew she loved Eric wholeheartedly but I didn't know if he loved her as much as she does. Maria didn't admit it but I knew she loved him. Eric was a cool, nice, and funny guy but he was as crazy as she was. That makes them compatible.
Imagine having sex in a toilet? Who does that? What if someone walks in on them in the act? I thought as I shook my head at their level of mutual craziness.
My subconscious screamed. "Remember you had sex in the car too."
"What the hell!" I grunted, hitting my forehead. I always try not to reminisce on that night. It reminded me of my weakness and the pain I felt.
That was a week ago.
"I'm sure the car was bouncing back and forth," my subconscious uttered.
I covered my face in shame at the thought.
I just hope no one saw me with him in the car. That thought would kill me. I can't take that sort of embarrassment. And dad would kill me if this ever gets to him, I said to myself.
As much as I wish that the night never happened, I missed his touches. When I protested against having sex, he pushed himself into me gently while pinning me down as I cried out in pain.
He told me to relax and that the initial pain was inevitable as he took my lips. He knew what he was doing.
He was gentle on me at first as I tried to adjust and get used to his strokes but he became aggressive after a while and began to pound into me while I cried out loud for him to let me go.
He was no longer in control of his emotions. And I gave in.
Then he fell on me in exhaustion. We were both breathless and when he recovered his strength, he pulled me up and kissed me again before turning me over.
I realized what he was about to do and slapped him in the face. He was dumbfounded.
I grabbed my beautiful dress that was already stained by blood, wore it over my head, and picked up my purse, shoe, and bra before running out of his car.
I was glad the place was dark as I found my way back to the parking lot to see if Andrew, the driver, was still within the vicinity. I got to the car to see him sleeping soundly with his head on the steering. I called his name and hit the car window before he woke up and opened the back door for me.
I slumped into the seat and we drove off in silence. I was mad at myself and at him for no specific reason.
We got home and I tried to hide my stained dress from aunt Susana who was in the living room. After greeting her, I ran past her, holding the stained part to my hand firmly so she wouldn't see it.
I felt a tingling stirring in my private part as I thought of that night.
My subconscious was at it again. "I thought you said that night was not worth it?"
I didn't know what the stirring meant but it occurred to me that I was aroused when my pants became wet.
****
I was tired of sitting all alone in dad's office. I was already done with the work I was given and I felt like going home. Dad said he wouldn't take long but it was an hour already and he was nowhere to be found.
The stirring in my little kitty stopped immediately when it came and I quickly used the toilet to rinse off the whitish juice coming out of my private part.
'I guess if it continues, I'll try and read one of her erotic books. I'll have to steal it because I won't be able to ask her for it. She'd mocked me till I cry, I thought.
Her 19th birthday was around the corner and I thought of getting her one of those books as a present.
Who would have thought things would change just within a night? I asked inwardly.
Few hours to the party, I knew not what it means to kiss and be kissed, I was a virgin and I didn't know what being horny or what sex means.
But after that night, I began to understand what dad meant by saying sex is addictive. I felt like having sex again….with him. Yes, with him. I didn't know if I can enjoy sex with anyone but him again.
I went out of dad's office towards the elevator and took the elevator down to the second floor. I went over to Mike's office and knocked.
"Come in," Mike said.
"Hello Mike", I beamed at him as I pushed the door open.
"Daisy", he called as he looked up, and smiled.
"How have you been?" He stood up and hugged me.
"I've been good," I answered as we disengaged from the hug. "Dad isn't here?"
"No, he isn't."
"He said there was a meeting with the crew members."
"Oh yes! That's true but we finished 20 minutes ago." He responded.
"Ok. I'll see you around then." I turned to go.
"I hope there is no problem?" I faced him.
"Not at all. I just want to go home. But I want to see him before I go."
"Maybe you should give him a call." He suggested
"He left his phone in the office. If I don't see him, I'll come back here before I go home so you can help me inform him."
"Sure."
"Alright, bye Mike."
"You too, Daisy. My regards to your mom."
"Sure", I said with a fake smile.
Most of the staff think aunt Susana is my mom.
I found my way back into the office. Then I remembered his secretary's office was adjacent to his and he might be having a conversation with her on how to keep track of all transactions in his absence.
I picked up my purse and phone and rushed out of his office. I was sure dad was there as I walked towards Lizzy's office.
My mind was already home. I wanted to sleep, eat, watch a movie to get inspiration, and if possible start my book. I have the plot already formed in my head and I was more than confident that it will sell.
I grinned as I knocked on Lizzy's door. There was no response so I pushed the door open.
Lizzy was a very friendly person and she was aware of the fact that aunt Susana wasn't my mom. She used to chat with me anytime I went to visit the company and I always made sure to visit her in her office before going.
The office was large and a bit dark as I peeped. The windows were closed and the sunlight couldn't penetrate the office. I opened the door widely and walked in, before closing it back.
I stood rooted to my spot seeing the sight before me. Dad was having sex with Lizzy on the office desk.
My mouth was agape in shock as I watched the two lovers. Lizzy was moaning loudly.
I wonder why I didn't hear the moans before coming into the office. I wouldn't have come in to see this shit, I thought.
They didn't even notice my presence as they kept on with their business. Dad's trouser was down with his shirts on and Lizzy was naked.
Why would dad do this? I'm sure aunt Susana satisfies him in bed because while I was growing up, I used to hear the sounds of their voices, especially aunt Susana's, screams, I asked myself.
I used to find that screaming sound irritating. I couldn't withstand the sight before me again as I yelled. "Dad."
He pulled away from Lizzy who scampered to look for a piece of clothing to cover her nudity. Dad wore his trousers before turning back to look at me. Lizzy ran to the bathroom with her clothes as dad and I stared at each other in silence.
"Dad" I called again and shook my head as a tear threatened to fall.
"Princess", he called trying to move closer to me. I struck a finger out telling him to stay put. I wasn't interested in any explanation.
I was about to say something when I felt nauseated all of a sudden and I covered my mouth with my left hand and ran to the bathroom to puke.
Lizzy was already dressed by the time I got to the bathroom and I vomited all I ate for breakfast into the water closet.
"Are you ok?" Lizzy questioned with concern as I washed my face with water while breathing heavily.
I stood up and stared at her, shook my head, and went out of the bathroom and office, without uttering a word to either of them.
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
Daisy's POVI got to aunt Vanessa's house to meet the greatest shock of my life. She had moved out according to her neighbor. She moved out years ago.Aunt Vanessa and I communicated when I was in high school but I couldn't remember the last time I got her mail. Is it three or four years? I asked.I got her address from the emails she usually sends. I made a huge mistake by not calling to inform her that I was coming.I was knocking on her front door when a neighbor of hers informed me of her absence. I asked him for her new address and he said he didn't have it.I was left with no choice but to call her as I walked back down the avenue to the street. Her phone was unreachable and I almost cried out in frustration.Where do I go from here? I was damn hungry and exhausted. I was also tired of dragging my single box.I'm in deep shit, I muttered.I decided to take a cab to the nearest hotel after trying to think of what t
Daisy's POVI saw mom and then dad. They were smiling at me. Their mouths were moving but I couldn't hear them."Mom?" I called, realizing how much I missed seeing her beautiful face. She doesn't look at all like aunt Vanessa. Aunt Vanessa looked more like a black American."Dad?" I called, relishing the moment we both spent together. The reality of dad's death was dawning on me more than ever and it was having a toll on me."Dad?" I called again, stretching my hand as I howled in pain.I was in severe pain. I was feeling pain all over the world. Then I began to cry. I facepalmed myself as I cried. When I removed my hand to clean up my tears, they were gone."Mom? Dad?" I called again, looking all around, the surroundings were cold, with fogs all over. I shuddered in fear when I realized I was alone.I was in pain again. But this time, it was the pain of being an orphan. The pain of my fate. The pain of my situation. The pain of everything th
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."
