Daisy-Belle's POV

I stir in my sleep, remembering I have an errand to run for mom. I've been absent from school for more than a week now. I have been sick. Today is Friday and I have been doing nothing all day but to sleep.

I stretch with a yawn and turn to check the clock. It is 6 pm already.

"Shit", I scramble out of my bed. Mom asked me to go get groceries, we are out of milk, eggs, and bread. These past few days, I have been taking more milk than usual and we have no more milk in the house anymore.

I spend most of the time alone at home, doing absolutely nothing. I am always sleeping or watching a movie. I did nothing today other than take a bath and sleep after taking lunch.

I intended to take a nap for a few minutes before going to the grocery shop, a few distances away from here. It is quite near, so I don't need to take a cab.

I am thinking of changing

    Tessa's POVTrevor stands up and walks to where I am seated. "Good." He goes to the back and puts his face next to my shoulder. I stare back at his face, wishing it is Zayden."Your father isn't picking my calls anymore", He whispers close to my ears and moves away abruptly. The action reminds me of how tense I am whenever Zayden is around and whenever I feel his breath on my skin. I close my eyes to shut the thoughts away."He is angry", I tell him."I have an offer to make for you to be married to Zayden", he utters and moves to the bar side where there are varieties of wines. He picks one up and pours it into two glasses. I watch him as he moves back to sit, placing the glass of wine before me and gulping his."What offer?" I pick the glass up and sip a little wine from it, watching him from the transparent glass."The offer to make my son yours while you give me what I want." He smirks.I am beginning to think otherwise. Why is he saying while I give him what I want? I frown an
