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.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
Daisy's POVThe 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
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
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.

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."
