Walking side by side, Ellen and Daisy returned back to the ward. All through the way, Daisy could not stop thinking of how she had shouted and accused Wesley.She knew she was wrong and she truly admitted she wasn't supposed to jump to conclusions just like that."Don't think too much about it," Ellen tried to console her. "I feel he is a gentleman. Everyone would be upset if accused wrongly and all you have to do is to reach out to him and apologize. And that would be all."Now Daisy felt pretty much grateful that she has his number. She did not want to tell Ellen about that to avoid raising unnecessary suspicions. After all, she was just trying to convince her earlier that she really was set up and even though Ellen seemed to believe, she would not want to do anything that'll now make her suspicious."I'd reach out to him," Daisy simply muttered.'I'll unblock him and give him a call. I hope he forgives me. What's more, he seems sophisticated and intelligent and I think he might be
Behind the wheel was Wesley, his usually composed face now etched with a mix of coldness and anger. The lines on his forehead deepened, and even his grip on the steering wheel tightened, his knuckles turning white as if trying to control the storm of emotions swirling within him.The road stretched out before him, winding through the city. Buildings and streetlights blurred past in a haze, mirroring the anger in Wesley's mind. The hum of the engine provided a constant soundtrack to his racing thoughts, the rhythmic vibrations punctuating his inner turmoil.As he navigated the streets, his gaze remained fixed straight ahead, unyielding. His piercing eyes, usually sharp and focused, now held a glimmer of anger, a flicker of frustration.He felt his ego hurt and trampled on. He felt humiliated to the core'How dare she?!''That flimsy godforsaken actress, what does she really think she is?? That nothing!''She would so see it from me!!'Every passing car seemed to mirror his inner unrest
Four black vehicles tore through the roads towards the outskirts of South Yarra, as they followed the coordinates that had emitted that faint signal they had been tracking.It was way past noon already and in less than two hours the sun would start setting, but even at that, the urgency in the air was so glaring.The hum of the engines and the blurring lights outside created a cryptic atmosphere. The team had a mission that they have to carry out swiftly, based on their boss Wesley Maxwell's command.This team is the Croxxed X.Arriving at the outskirts of South Yarra, the location they had got from the signal, they found themselves in a vast forest, its shadows stretching out before them. Towering trees stood like sentinels.Under the still bright sky, the Croxxed X team swiftly parked their vehicles at the edge of the dense forest. Towering trees loomed over them."Do not attack till we have Sarah out of their hands. Except I say otherwise," the team leader's voice crackled authorit
"I'm waiting for you to state the purpose of this call," Wesley stated coldly and rudely and Daisy was slightly taken aback.She wasn't expecting such a reaction from him, neither was she expecting him to still be that mad. Yeah, she really did mess up but then, is he still supposed to be this upset?Daisy would be discharged from the hospital in a few days and she would be out to face the outside world once again. Even though things were cleared now, she still have to find out some things and get things right and straight to prevent what had happened to her from happening to her again.Now she wanted to find out and cut off whoever this person is.On the other end, right in his home office, Wesley tapped his long slender fingers impatiently on the table, waiting for her to just spill out whatever she had called to spill. He really still felt upset but the truth is, deep down, he felt glad she called.'Okay I think I'm the one who is going insane now,' Wesley sighed inwardly.Daisy ha
In the ward, Daisy stared into empty space pondering on all Wesley had told her over the phone.She wondered why he did not want her to tell anyone about anything if they were going to work together. But after giving it much thought, she concluded he has his reasons for saying that.Not like she trusted him now, but then, she really wanted to see things for herself now and not wait for others to do things for her.She did not have total trust in him. He could be up to anything, who knows but regardless, she would meet with him and find out what exactly.As for her friends, she decided she won't tell them a thing. Not cause she did not trust them but cause she felt it was high time she tries things on her own and besides, she had disturbed them enough.While sitting up with her phone in hand, she stared at the blank screen with a series of thoughts running through her mind.Just then, she heard footsteps approaching and Daisy raised up her head to see Edward walking towards her. She ha
After the call, Wesley sat still with his deep gaze staring at nothing in particular. He was contemplating sending a text message to Daisy asking for Rose's house address. The one Rose had taken her to that morning after that night's incident.He did not really trust Daisy not to tell her friends about them. And even if she really would keep to her word, if he sends a text, her friends could easily get a clue of them working together if they check her phone.He would not want to alert the enemy's camp in any way after all.'I'll just ask her about all those when we meet,' Wesley sighed after giving it much thought.Picking back up his phone, he was about to give her a call but stopped himself again.'Come on Wesley. You can just send a text tomorrow. For real do I really want to meet her this bad?'Wesley felt really displeased with how he was behaving.'I don't like her and should never even like her,' he thought.'First, she's not my type. Next, she has a boyfriend and why would I e
Just by the side, the bathroom door opened and Violet walked out carrying a small bluish-purple fancy-like polythene bag. She had just spent long minutes doing her skincare routine in the bathroom.Stepping out fully dressed and seeing Daisy awake, she smiled widely."You woke up quite early today Barbie."Violet then walked over to a drawer and dropped the bag which contained her numerous skincare products.Daisy was sitting up on the bed staring at her phone. She had not even said anything to reply to Violet's greeting, nor had she reacted like she normally do whenever Violet decides to call her Barbie.Violet walked closer to Daisy. "Good morning sis," she greeted standing in front of Daisy who was sitting up on the bed.She looked down at her sister and could not help but frown at how serious she was at whatever she was looking at on her phone."I'm sorry babe," Daisy muttered and finally raised her head from her phone. "I was just..." Then she trailed off looking back at her phon
Violet sprang up from the bed with shock written all over her face."No that's not possible Daisy," she then said and chuckled.Daisy stared at her sister. Not knowing what to say she sighed."Wait seriously, you're not being serious right now, are you?" Violet was clearly flustered and astonished.She was finding it difficult to believe what her sister had said."I mean you're actually saying the man you had an accident with that night is Wesley Maxwell? Australia's Wesley Maxwell? I mean not just Australia but the world's mysterious Wesley Maxwell?""You're raising your voice, Violet," Daisy panicked.Violet had become so shocked she did not know she was raising her voice so she gasped."Oh I'm so sorry," then she immediately lowered back herself to sit beside Daisy."How did it even happen? I know that shit was a setup but how? I mean... With Wesley???"Daisy sighed.She wanted to explain some things to her that she had met this said Wesley, and they are planning to work together i
