Throughout the night, Dahlia couldn't fall asleep since it was hard to. She was still thinking about what happened to Daisy that made Lucius visit the mansion.
She didn't sleep until after 1am in the morning. And at 6:30 am sharp, she woke up, changed out of her night wear and wore a black trouser, with a white singlet that was underneath the black matching suit she wore.Dahlia collected her cellphone from the table by her bedside. She didn't care anymore and called Daisy's number. The call went through eventually but no one was answering it.After many trials, Dahlia finally gave up and hurriedly came out of her room. She descended the stairs."Young Miss, you're surprisingly up early today. Wait, let me prepare breakfast for you before you leave. You can't go on an empty stomach". Ms Rousey said immediately she saw Dahlia walking towards the living room exit door of the mansion."Don't worry, Ms Rousey. I'll be back before you even know it. I got something important to confirm".Dahlia didn't bother to stare at Ms. Rousey when she said. She reached out, opened the door, and came out of the mansion.Dahlia has similar taste with Daisy when it comes to choosing a car model. Her car model was the same with Daisy 'Honda', but it was red in terms of colour.She went to her car, entered it and soon drove away with her aim to arrive at Lucius's mansion early before any of them left for work.'I can't wait for Dad to return back to the country this evening. I must find out what's going on now to cool down my curiosity'. Dahlia thought.Luckily for Dahlia, it was still pretty early, so the road was going smoothly for her since there weren't too many cars driving. Also, she arrived at Lucius mansion early.She beeps her car horn twice and to her surprise, the silver gate obstructing her from driving in, suddenly was opened by a guard.Dahlia didn't wait to know why the guard opened the gate for her without confirming her identity, she just drove in."Hey, wait!". The guard panicked when he became aware of the mistake he had made. He mistook Dahlia's Honda for Daisy's own. But after seeing the colour difference made him realise.'You think I'm going to wait? In your nightmares'. Dahlia thought. She didn't stop driving even though the guard was chasing her car. But she was sure there was no way he'd get to her…. And even though he would succeed in getting her, she would already be inside the main mansion for that to ever happen."What a huge compound that I even have to drive more miles". Dahlia muttered as she stopped driving and came down from her car.There were no guards stationed at the entrance door to the mansion. Dahlia didn't care and entered.The first people she saw staring at her with startled eyes were the servants. They asked her who she was, and she wasn't surprised that her sister, Daisy, didn't ever mention her to them."Look, I didn't come all the way here so that you guys could question me. Where is my sister?". Dahlia questioned but got no reply.Dahlia noticed that they didn't answer her question since they didn't understand her completely. So she asked them again, "Where is Daisy? She's my sister".Surprisingly enough, even though the servants were surprised to learn this information that Daisy had a sister, they still kept quiet and didn't reply."Fine. Since you guys decided to become a mime, I'll find my sister by myself". Dahlia announced. She was pissed off because she felt that she was totally ignored.The servants tried to stop her from advancing the stairs, but Dahlia overpowered four of them and pushed them aside.Dahlia rushed in ascending the stairs since she was certain that the gate guard might still be coming after her. She didn't know her way around the building, so she was opening every door she could find.Dahlia opened the fifth door she found and was left speechless when she entered inside.Of course she finally found Lucius's bedroom. But the thing was, Lucius was in the room, not with Daisy, but with another young lady!."What's going on here? Where the hell is my sister you scumbag! And who's the Lady? What's she doing in your matrimonial room?!". Dahlia lost her temper and yelled out at Lucius and Annabelle."Lucius, do you know this strange lady? She's scaring me". Annabelle shivered as she said pitifully.Lucius glared at Dahlia for scaring Annabelle. He cuddled Annabelle, letting her rest her head on his broad chest. He coldly said, "Dahlia, what are you doing here? Did your sister send you here to spy on me this morning? How daring of her after she ran away. If you return back to her, tell her to come back and sign the divorce paper. I'm going to marry Annabelle. I don't care about her opinion on my decision".Dahlia was so stunned to speak a word. She badly wanted to rip out the mouth Lucius used to speak to her. Most especially, she saw the lady that Lucius was still cuddling, wickedly grinning at her. Dahlia also saw that by the time Lucius could see the wicked grin in the face of the lady he was cuddling, she was back to acting pitiful."My sister ran away? And who's this Annabelle you're talking about?". Dahlia asked, but since Lucius took her for a stranger, he didn't reply to her.Now, Dahlia had a hint that the lady he was cuddling was Annabelle. Dahlia scoffed in disgust, she said, "My sister ran away and you didn't spend time looking for you. Instead you brought home a mistress to be your wife?"."Shut up!". Lucius roared out angrily, but Annabelle soothe him."No, it's you that suppose to shut the f*ck up, Lucius!. My sister loved you with all her heart that she even abandoned her own sister and father just to be with you. But this is how you repay her? I warned her about you since the first day I set my eyes on you. Even my father warned her, but she refused and went ahead to marry you. Why the hell did you marry her if you're only going to end up causing her pain?". Dahlia said and also questioned."I'm telling you this today, you'll regret all of these. You'll learn that you made a wrong choice". Dahlia assured Lucius this fact.Dahlia glared at Annabelle, and as Annabelle's eyes met with Dahlia, she shivered more and clinged onto Lucius strongly. 'What a cunning snake!'. Dahlia thought. She wished she could beat Annabelle like never before, but she was sure that Lucius would overpower her before she could even try to."Are you done lecturing me how I should live my life? If you're done, leave now before I force you out". Lucius threatened."Whatever. I was already planning on leaving". Dahlia announced and hissed. She came out of the room and slammed the door so hard that if she was stronger, the door would have probably fallen out.Just as Dahlia came out, the gate guard grabbed her immediately. Dahlia angrily shoved him off. "Piss off. I was already leaving". She said and walked past him.Dahlia returned home with a gloomy and sad face because she didn't get revenge on Lucius for what he did to Daisy. Actually, what she was mostly sad about was because she didn't slap Annabelle's cheek. Dahlia was able to clearly remember the wicked grinning of Annabelle, and she totally understands that Annabelle was a wolf in sheep clothings. "Young Miss, thank goodness you've returned. You're just in time for breakfast. I'll have the maids serve your food now". Ms Rousey said with a smile. She stopped smiling as she saw Dahlia staring back at her with teary eyes. "Young Miss, did I say anything that upset you?". Ms Rousey softly asked. Although Dahlia's eyes were teary, she smiled at Ms Rousey and assured her, "You didn't upset me, Ms Rousey. And I'll probably need some time alone. You can just delay my breakfast". Ms. Rousey simply nodded her head as she didn't want to bother Dahlia and ask her more questions. She watched as Dahlia left her side and climbed the stairs. 'Whatev
"She has my love, Daisy. Something you could never have". These words kept repeating in Daisy's dream. "No. No. I…. I hate you!". Daisy declared and soon her eyes opened. Her neck was sweaty and her throat was dry. She lazily sat up on her bed before she took the glass filled with water by the table and drank it. After that, she stood up and went to stand in front of her giant mirror. She questioned herself, "It has been six years now, since that day. Why can't I forget it already?".She pointed her index finger out and touched the mirror with it. "You're a different Daisy now. You must forget the past". She muttered. Daisy's face reflection in the mirror was more beautiful than ever. Her pointed nose, which was in a perfect shape. Her round face, which was much slimmer compared to before. Her almond shaped eyes with full eyelashes. Even her blue eye colour seemed to have gotten darker. Her natural heart shaped lips were sexier than ever. Her brown hair that was slightly passing h
"Hurry kids. This is really urgent to me". Daisy said. She already packed Alexander, Jack and Henry's clothes, also with hers. Though Henry insisted on bringing his toys along, Daisy didn't let him do so and promised to buy new toys for him when they arrived in California.Now they were finally done packing. Daisy dragged the suitcase with her outside the house. She returned back and locked the door before returning back to where the suitcase was. "Let's go Mom". Jack said. "Right". Daisy replied and dragged the suitcase with her while following her kids that were in front of her.Daisy hailed a cab and they all entered."Please hurry to the airport". She informed the cab driver.Now the airport wasn't that far from Daisy's house. They arrived there 15 minutes later. "Have a nice day". The cab driver said and drove away after he collected his payment.Daisy led her kids inside the airport. They were still walking when Alexander questioned, "But Mom. Did you make a flight appointme
"Now, all of you, get out of my sight". Daisy ordered. The shareholders didn't want to remain in the meeting room with someone as intimidating as Daisy, so they obeyed and left. All their faces were all frowning in disappointment. If only Daisy didn't arrive in time and they voted, then, they might have actually succeeded in dismissing Daisy as the company's chairman for good. "Mommy, that was cool!. I mean to say, "you are cool". Jack exclaimed. Alexander and Henry were stunned to speak because Daisy mostly smiled at them whenever she took care of them. They never expected to see this intimidating side of her. Daisy chuckled. "Hope I didn't scare you kids?". She questions even after knowing that her babies are tough ones. "Of course not, mom. You were amazing". Alexander admitted while Henry nodded his head at Daisy as he supported what Alexander said. Daisy sighed in relief after listening to Alexander's reply plus Henry's positive nodding of his head. She faced Sasha who was s
"Yes, it's me. I'm back, little sister". Daisy announced and that second, Dahlia rushed to hug her. Staring at Dahlia in disbelief, Jack asked Alexander and Henry, "Mommy had a sister? Since when and why didn't we know about it?". "I guess this is the surprise mommy talked about". Alexander replied before he continued to stare at Daisy and her sister hugging. Dahlia finally let go of hugging Daisy. Her blue eyes were sparkling in joy and at the same time, teary. "Ouch". Daisy reacted when Dahlia hit her on her right arm. "You deserve this, big sister. How did you bear to run away without taking me with you?. Did you know that I've been searching for you ever since? Tell me, where did you run off to?". Dahlia said and demanded an answer from Daisy."I'm really sorry, little sister. The truth is, I was in Las Vegas the whole time". Daisy admitted, causing Dahlia to continue to stare at her in disbelief. "Las Vegas?". Dahlia muttered before she went ahead and held Daisy's both shou
Dahlia's car already drove inside the mansion premises and she parked it close to the gardens area before they all came down from it. They headed for the mansion in front of them and entered through the brown door. They were already inside the living room when Jack questioned Daisy, "Mom, you know it's still our birthday today, right?". "Right. I almost forgot again". Daisy petted his head and said. "It's your kids' birthday today? How old are they?". Dahlia asked. Though she wasn't that curious to know since she already has an idea that they'd be five years old. "They're five years old, Dahlia". Daisy replied. She smiled at Alexander, Jack and Henry and asked them what they wanted as birthday gifts. "Laptop". Alexander simply answered, causing Daisy to laugh out pretty hard while holding her stomach. Daisy said to Alexander, "No matter how smart you're, Alexander, you're too young to have a laptop. What do you want to do with that?". She stopped laughing when she saw Alexander s
Daisy dragged her suitcase by herself inside her bedroom even though the maids offered to do that for her. She left the suitcase at the side of the wardrobe and went ahead and laid back flat on the bed before she sighed deeply. "Oh California, California. I never imagined my return would be like this". Daisy muttered to herself. She remained laying on the bed for some minutes when she then rose up and stood up on her feet as she felt her stomach growling really roughly. "Gosh, I'm starving here. When will the food be ready?". Daisy said to herself. It didn't reach up to 5 seconds Daisy said and she heard a knock on her bedroom door. Daisy went ahead to open the door and was glad when she saw that it was Ms. Rousey and two other young maids, plus, they were already here with her food. "Thanks, Ms. Rousey. I had no idea that you'd bring my food to me in my room". Daisy said and let them in her room.She watched the maids enter her room and kept the plates on her bed before they le
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.
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
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
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, “
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
