Staring at Lucius, Daisy was certain that he has been doing pretty well during the years. His black straight hair was full. Plus his crimson eyes which have gotten more beautiful, and his well defined jawline and his beautiful pointed nose, plus attractive lips and well carved eyebrows which brought out most of his handsomeness and intimidating face.

Daisy averted her gaze upon Lucius and suddenly smiled at Lucas, but not in a friendly way. She pointed her index finger at the scratch she caused the car and forced herself to say, "I-I apologise for the damage I caused. Tell me, how much is the repair fee?".

"Lady Daisy?". Lucas called as he approached Daisy.

"Excuse me stranger, but have we met before? How do you know my name?".

Lucas stopped midway at approaching Daisy as he was puzzled because of what she said. He stared back at his boss, Lucius, who averted his gaze and acted as if he didn't care about Daisy.

"Sorry, young miss. I mistook you for someone else". Lucas explained.

    "All done". Lucas muttered with satisfaction before putting back his cell phone in his suit pocket. Seeing that Daisy had already left the cafeteria and he had already accomplished his mission, he decided to return to L's company which belonged to his boss, Lucius. Lucas hailed a cab and entered it.The distance between D's Company and L's company was 12 miles, so Lucas arrived there 24 minutes later.After getting down from the cab, he paid the cab driver his fee and didn't hesitate to report back to Lucius's office.Lucas knocked on the office door twice before he heard Lucius's deep voice order him to get in. "Boss. I did as you ordered and followed Lady Daisy". Lucas reported as he stood in front of where Lucius was sitting at his office chair. He brought out his cell phone from his suit pocket and placed it on the glass desk before he continued talking, "I took a picture of Lady Daisy eating at D's company cafeteria. Though it wasn't easy for me to get in, I have my ways, boss"

    "Okay, I see you kids are not joking about what you explained to me". Dahlia finally stopped laughing as she wasn't finding her discovery about Alexander, Jack and Henry, to be funny. "But how is that even possible? Wait, don't tell me you kids are robots in human form?". Dahlia asked and didn't wait to hear their reply to her question. She came down from the bed and with her hands she carried Henry up to observe his weight. "You're not heavy though. If you were a robot, you would be pretty heavy". She left Henry on the bed from where she carried him and she remained standing. "We're not robots, Aunty Dahlia. What made you think we're?". Alexander questioned."Well, anyone in my shoes would also have thought the same thing. Besides, I have never seen a five year old learn how to operate a laptop in just a short period of time". Dahlia explained. "Just admit it, aunty Dahlia. We're built differently and not like other kids". "Jeez. You little brat". Dahlia ran her hand through Ja

    Lucius's mansion,"Mmm. What a splendid afternoon". Annabelle muttered as she enjoyed the cool weather. She was at the gardens where she sat on a wooden brown bench and was admiring the beautiful flowers. Annabelle suddenly clapped her hands twice and a maid servant appeared and stood by her side. "Where's the juice I ordered? Are you purposely taking me for granted?". The maid servant immediately knelt down and pleaded, "Of course not, Lady Annabelle….". She didn't even get to finish what she wanted to say and Annabelle slapped her cheek."Lady? I'm the Lady of this mansion, call me Madam!". Annabelle corrected. The maid servant whose name was Clara, her left hand was placed on her left cheek where she was hit. She was shivering in fear and said, "I'm sorry, Madam Annabelle. It's a slip of the tongue". "Whatever. Now get out of my sight and go bring me what I ordered". Annabelle said and relaxed on the bench as she continued enjoying the beautiful view and flowers.Clara arrived

    Ms. Rousey sighed and placed her hand on her chest as she saw the way Daisy reacted. She totally understands why Daisy was panicking like this. "No need to panic, Lady Daisy. Second young miss took the kids out for fun". She explained to Daisy. Meanwhile Daisy needed to cool down, so she went and sat on her bed while processing all what her mind thought. 'I've never felt like this for years now. Without doubt, this strange feeling is fear'. Daisy thought. She could feel her body getting chilled upon the realisation. Firstly, Lucius's car was following her, so she naturally thought that he came to the mansion and took her kids. Daisy continued with her thoughts, 'No. My kids and I have to avoid that guy at all costs. He's dangerous and cunning! I can't let him come near us. I won't let him come near us!'. "Lady Daisy, are you alright?". Ms. Rousey's soft voice brought Daisy back to reality. "Su-re". "You can continue what you're doing". Daisy added as she rose up from the bed. S

  • My runaway wife, Hates me!   Damien/ Her rage.

    Early morning of the next day.Inside a luxurious condo, a man in his early thirties, Damien, who was shirtless and was only wearing a grey loose trouser, was resting on the sofa he was sitting on in his living room. His eyes that were closed suddenly opened, revealing a pair of dark crimson eyes that were similar to that of Lucius. Damien stretched out his large sized hand towards the transparent glass table in front of him and took the glass cup that was filled with red wine. He drank the wine in one shot, gulping all into his throat before returning the cup on the glass table. Damien later stood up on his feet. He was pretty tall. A little over 6 feets tall with strong broad shoulders.His black straight hair which was like the night, supported the handsome look on his cold face. "I see. She's back". Damien muttered with a husky voice. He ran his hand through his hair before a grin appeared on his thin lips."It's time to let the world know about Damien". He added before headin

    Daisy's mansion, the kids' bedroom. It was already 7:00 in the morning and Alexander, Jack and Henry had already woken up from sleep. Jack and Henry both came down from their own various beds. They went ahead and took all the three laptops from where they were kept, before heading to Alexander's bed. With his little hand, Alexander gestured to Jack and Henry, and they both sat with him on his bed."Mmm. Mommy's mansion is so big and beautiful! Even my bed is soft like a feather. I slept like a baby and woke up still like a baby!". Henry, who opened his own laptop, said excitedly as he couldn't resist keeping his happiness all to himself. "Let me correct you, Henry. You're indeed a baby. In fact, we're all babies". Alexander said. Henry pouted his lips at Alexander and said, " Anyways, I still slept well. How I wish we won't be returning to Las Vegas again"."You and beautiful things, Henry. Is it because this mansion is more beautiful and bigger than the one in Las Vegas?". Jack

    "Here you go". Dahlia said as she opened the door and waited for Daisy to get in first. Daisy gently pinched Dahlia's cheeks and said to her, "Thanks, little sis". After saying this, Daisy entered the kids' room, same with Dahlia who entered too before closing the door. "My adorable babies. Still asleep?". Daisy muttered. She wanted to go to Henry first but suddenly remembered that he loves to sleep and likes to be woken up last, so she changed her direction and went to Jack's bed instead."Jack sweetie. Wake up for your mommy". Daisy petted his head as she softly said and tried to wake him up.Meanwhile, Dahlia walked over to Alexander's bed. A secretive smile appeared on her lips when she sat on his bed. "Hey kid, I know what you're doing here and you can't fool me. I once also did this trick to my Dad". Dahlia admitted. She sighed softly and announced, "Wake up now by yourself or I'm going to scream loud in your tiny little ear. And you know that's going to hurt".Dahlia waited so

    "Lady Daisy bought a mansion here in the city, and recently moved to live there with her sister, according to my investigation. And the D's Company, Lady Daisy is a director there". Lucas finished his report and waited to hear what Lucius would say. Two of Lucius's fingers were placed on his chin as he said, "For her to get such an important position in the D's company, she must be close to the Chairman"."What are you planning, Boss?". Lucas asked after seeing Lucius rise up from his seat. Plus, he saw Lucius grinning with delight. "What do you think, Lucas?". Lucius raised an eyebrow when he asked. "You, you're going to D's company?". Lucas guessed, though Lucius didn't reply back and just strolled out of his office. Seeing that Lucius just left without saying anything, Lucas panicked and ran after him. Lucius arrived at his company's parking lot and went to where his car was parked. He opened the back door of the car and sat there, while Lucas sat in the driver's seat, as he w

    The other city of California, It was just a few hour ride and Asher returned to their hometown with Zeke and Zach. Asher parked his car inside Lucian's mansion before they all got down. Zeke and Zach ran into the massive building which was in front of them. “Mom, we're back! Lily, Emily, Dad!”. Zach excitedly yelled out as soon as he entered the mansion. Anya was inside the kitchen when she heard Zach's voice. She immediately stopped what she was doing and went to the living room to meet him. Upon arriving inside the living room, Anya said to Zach, “Calm down, son. Reduce your voice. Your father and sisters, including me, we're all around in the mansion. Actually, your father is in his study room with Lily and Emily”. “Mom!”. Zach excitedly exclaimed and ran to hug Anya tightly. Zeke saw the way Zach behaved and slightly shook his head at him. ‘Tsk, Zach is still behaving like a baby’. Zeke thought to himself. Later on, he simply waved his hand at Anya. “You bra

    Almost throughout the day, Daisy and Dahlia were busy because they were finalising the contracts for their companies’ cooperation. Daisy's office, “All done. Dahlia, you've finally signed all the contracts. Now, my company would be able to invest in your company”. Daisy announced with a smile. Meanwhile, Dahlia was so over the moon. She didn't exactly know how to react. Dahlia suddenly said to Daisy, “It's already 4pm, big sis. Which day are we preparing to go to China?”. “What are you talking about?”. “I mean, this morning, didn't you say we'd all travel to China to meet our mother?”. Dahlia raised an eyebrow as she reminded Daisy about what happened earlier in the morning. “I know that, Dahlia. I was only kidding. Anyway, we're going to the airport exactly by 7pm. Our flight to China is tonight”. Daisy suddenly announced, causing Dahlia to be super stunned. Dahlia's mouth was opened for a while before she eventually said some words, “That fast? You've already bought our t

    “So that's it, my dear. Your Mom is currently in China. She's currently admitted to one of the best treatment centres over there”. “It's been 20 years already since she was in a coma”. Diego added and his face was filled with worries. “I can't believe this. My mom is still alive. It's– it's really unbelievable!”. Daisy muttered, and the tears she held back started gushing out again. “I'm so sorry for not telling you sooner, daughter. But my point is, forgive Lucius about what he'd done to you, so that you won't live in regret like me”. “Father, I've wholeheartedly forgiven Lucius. But, I don't think I'll get back with him”. Daisy replied sincerely to her father. Diego and Daisy spend many more minutes outside before they return inside the mansion. Diego went to his room, same with Daisy. As soon as Daisy entered her room, she went to her bed and laid on it. Different thoughts were playing inside her head, so she couldn't sleep, at least, not yet. After thinking for a while

    The kids arrived inside their bedroom and immediately informed Zeke and Zach about what was going on. Unfortunately, Alexander, Jack and Henry, received a heartbreaking response from Zeke and Zach. Zeke and Zach informed them that they were also going to return to their hometown by tomorrow. “What are we going to do now, big brother Alex?”. Henry asked, as he was reluctant to return back to Las Vegas. “I- I don't know”. Alexander honestly replied, and said nothing afterwards. The time was running fast, and it was nighttime. Everyone ate dinner with dull faces. In fact, no one was happy. After dinner, Dahlia took all the plates to the kitchen, as she wanted to wash them all. Upon arriving in the kitchen, Dahlia began washing the plate like a robot. Meaning, her emotions were off and on. Dahlia was still doing the dishes when Teresa came to meet her. “Seriously? Is no one really going to say anything about this? Don't tell me you really want Daisy to return back to Las Vegas

  • My runaway wife, Hates me!   The truth.

    Louis was silently staring at his unconscious son, but deep inside his heart, he was feeling great stinging pain. Meanwhile, Cassandra continued to cry as she pleaded with Lucius to wake up. Seeing what was happening, Damien felt even more guilty within himself. He confronted Louis and apologised, “I'm sorry, big brother”. After saying this, he left the ward. Actually, many hours ago, after Damien had brought Lucius to the hospital, he called Louis and informed him about what had happened to his son. Speaking of which, as soon as Damien came outside Lucius's ward, he saw Daisy– who looked as if she was thinking. She didn't leave yet, instead she squatted by the opposite wall– which was facing the door to Lucius's ward. In no time, Damien copied Daisy and also squatted beside her. “Are you alright? You know it's not your fault”. Damien suddenly broke the silence and said to Daisy. Daisy didn't say anything yet, as she was still at a loss for words. “To be fair, befor

    Teresa and Dahlia arrived in the kitchen and immediately, they began making breakfast. Since Teresa was injured, Dahlia allowed her to do an easy task, which was– making the tea. Meanwhile, Dahlia handled making the toast breads and scrambled eggs. It didn't take 20 minutes, and they finished making breakfast for everyone, except Andrew. Andrew was already journeying to Las Vegas with the 7 strikers and Annabelle, so there wasn't any need to prepare breakfast for him. “Alright, I'll leave everything to you”. Teresa said to Dahlia after making the tea. She put all the cups of tea in the empty tray pan, after which she carried the tray pan to the dining room. The dining room, Now all the food was on the dining table. Everyone gathered in the dining room, and sat in the chairs– which surrounded the large dining table. After taking a bite from her toasted bread, Dahlia finally realised that the kids hadn't arrived in the dining room. “Big sis, where's Alex, Jack and Henry? Aren't

    “What?!”. Diego exclaimed after listening to the whole story. Actually, Dahlia explained to Teresa and Diego about what happened. Plus, Alexander, Jack and Henry were also in the living room, so they heard the whole story as well. “Yes father. Lucius got in the way and took the bullet for Daisy”. Dahlia said one more time, before her eyebrows furrowed. Seeing the way his daughter's face was frowning, Diego got worried, and so he asked her, “What is it, Dahlia?”. “It's just that, I'm angry. I know that if Lucius didn't protect Daisy, it would have been her who got shot. But…. If Lucius survives the injury, I don't want him to think Daisy would get back together with him!”. Dahlia didn't waste any time and spoke her mind. “You silly child. Don't think about that now. We should all hope that nothing would happen to Lucius, even though he was once a jerk”. Diego calmly said, causing Dahlia to nod her head at him. The time was now 2am, and Daisy hadn't returned. Andrew tried his b

  • My runaway wife, Hates me!   “She must pay for everything tonight!”.

    Daisy stepped backwards in panic after seeing Lucius who was unconscious on the floor. Without doubt, she knew that he took the bullet hit for her. “Why?!”. Daisy yelled out with reddened eyes. While Daisy was busy lamenting, Dahlia and Andrew finally arrived outside. Dahlia also saw Lucius who was bleeding heavily, so she stuttered when she asked, “Wh-at happened to him?”. No one replied to Dahlia. The same striker pointed his gun against Daisy again, and when he was about to pull the trigger, Damien rushed and knocked him out immediately– just like how the other 6 strikers were also knocked out. After Damien dealt with the striker, he rushed to Lucius' side. “Hey, little nephew. Open your eyes for me”. Damien calmly said, and when Lucius didn't react or move, he panicked and painfully cried out, “Open your damn eyes, little nephew! Stop playing tricks with me!”. Dahlia was still lost about what was happening, so she confronted Daisy and stood in her front, before asking, “

  • My runaway wife, Hates me!   Risking everything to protect her!

    Lucius decided to call Damien, but he hesitated at first. He couldn't bring himself to call Damien because– he knew Damien opposed him getting back with Daisy. Lucius already made his decision to defend Daisy and his kids alone, but feeling that it was a very risky job for only him– he punched his wall, as he didn't have any other choice, but to call Damien. Lucius sighed deeply before dialling and calling Damien's number. Upon calling Damien's number, Lucius wanted to hang the call and change his mind, but to his great surprise, Damien answered the call almost immediately. “Uncle Damien”. Lucius swallowed the invisible lump in his throat as he called out calmly. “What is it, little nephew?”. After hearing Damien's voice question him, Lucius began explaining everything that happened– to him. A second after explaining, Lucius heard Damien say, “Wait for me at your condo. I'll come pick you up and we'll go to Daisy's mansion together!”. “Sure”. Lucius replied and soon after, hung
