The press conference was immediately arranged by Lucas, according to Lucius's order. Lucius left his office and went to the press conference hall where many reporters were. Upon arriving in the hallway, Lucius stood close to the lectern stand as he gave his speech. “I know all of you are curious about me because of the articles going on about Annabelle, so I'm here to clear all your curiosities”. Lucius announced before he added, “Annabelle and I have divorced. She has nothing to do with me, and I have nothing to do with her!”. After announcing, Lucius brought out a piece of paper and showed everyone. And what was written in that piece of paper is proof that he had divorced Annabelle. Immediately the reporter saw the divorce agreement in Lucius's hand, they started taking pictures nonstop. “Mr Lucius, I have a question! There were thousands of comments against Annabelle's action, and among those comments, they also stated that you left your first wife, Daisy, to marry a trash c
It was already 5pm when Daisy drove Asher, Zeke and Zach to the brilliant five star apartment. “Your apartment is nice, Asher”. Daisy complimented since this was the first time she came to the brilliant’s apartment. “Thanks”. Asher said and came down from the van with the twins. “That's right, let me have your number, Asher”. Dahlia announced and secretly blushed when Asher immediately offered his phone number to her. Seeing that Asher already gave his number to Dahlia, Daisy said to him, “It's nice having your phone number, Asher. In that case, I'll call you whenever I'm bringing the triplets over to your place. Actually, I like the fact that my triplets are bonding well with the twins”. “No problem, Daisy”. Asher slightly nodded at her and said. Daisy smiled and nodded at Asher before she drove off. It took only a few minutes and Daisy arrived at her mansion. She unlocked the gates with her remote and drove the van inside afterwards. “Em, are you guys seeing what I'm s
“Please Daisy, just give me a chance and let me explain myself to you”. Lucius pleaded. Daisy simply scoffed after hearing what Lucius said to her. Soon, she announced with bloodshot eyes, “You had your chance last 6 years ago, but instead, you chose Annabelle over me, Lucius!”. “I'm warning you, leave me and my kids alone! The next time you'd confront us, don't blame me for being more ruthless than this!”. Daisy threatened and turned to leave with her kids. Meanwhile, as Henry walked side by side with his momma, he suddenly turned behind him and saw that Lucius was silently staring. A mischievous smile appeared on his adorable face, and immediately, he showed Lucius his tongue, before turning to face his front. Seeing this scene, Damien burst out chuckling and slightly shook his head. Soon, his hand found its way to Lucius's shoulder before he said, “Did you see that, Lucius? Your son showed out his tongue to you. Anyways, I guess I was worried for nothing. To be honest, I thoug
Seeing the look on Andrew's face, Teresa was certain that he was so angry. She sighed deeply and drank a little bit of water before she replied to him, “This stabbed injury wasn't meant for me, Andrew. It was supposed to be Daisy who got stabbed, but I stepped in the way and took the hit for her”. “Wait, what?! Isn't Daisy the lady who helped change our lives? Who's the jerk that tried to hurt our Daisy?!”. Andrew couldn't believe this and questioned with bloodshot eyes. “Alright, listen carefully to what I'm about to explain to you”. Teresa announced to Andrew, and later on, she started explaining everything concerning Daisy to him. About five minutes later,“So that's what happened, Andrew. Daisy finally divorced her husband, Lucius. And now, a lady named Annabelle, is trying to hurt Daisy”. Teresa explained. “Wait, Annabelle? I saw the news…. She is Lucius' wife. I mean, she was Lucius' wife”. “Eh? What do you mean, she was Lucius' wife?”. Teresa didn't understand Andrew, so
After the taxi stopped outside of Daisy's mansion, Teresa came down since she had already paid the taxi driver. “I'm so tired already”. Teresa complained. To be fair, the driving was pretty tough for her since she was injured. Teresa walked towards the silver gates in her front, and immediately, she began knocking on it. Teresa continued to knock non stop as she wasn't ready to go anywhere unless Daisy answered her. She kept on knocking and knocking and flinched in fear as soon as she heard Dahlia's terrifying voice. “Lucius, how dare you come back to my big sister's mansion?!”. Teresa got confused for a while, and after she recollected herself, she muttered, “Lucius? Does she think that I'm Lucius? Oh, she thought that it's Lucius who's knocking on the gates”. “Dahlia, it's me, Teresa, please open the gates! I'm feeling dizzy already!”. Teresa announced and it didn't reach a minute, the silver gates opened. After opening the silver gates, Dahlia saw that it was indeed Tere
“Huh. What's that strange noise?”. Dahlia muttered as she heard a commotion outside. She unlocked the gate and came outside. That was when she saw that Levi was being subdued by the guy she had never met before. Curiosity got the best of Dahlia, so she went ahead to stand super close to the new guy. “What happened?”. She suddenly asked Andrew. “When you opened your gate earlier, this guy tried to enter inside with you, but I happened to stop him on time”. Andrew calmly explained before he left Levi alone. “He what? He tried to enter my sister's mansion with me?”. Dahlia stated and couldn't believe this. In fact, this situation is already getting on her bad nerves. Staring at Levi Rodriguez, Dahlia desperately demanded an answer from him, “What’s your problem, Levi Rodriguez?! What did my sister do to you that you don't want to leave her alone!. How can you be shamelessly chasing after a mother of three kids! Are you sick or something!”. “My love for your big sister is real, and i
“Alex, we have to tell mommy about this! Who do you think Annabelle wants to shoot with the gun?!”. Jack announced and was already panicking. “You're right, we should tell our momma”. Alexander agreed before he rose up from his bed.Seeing Alexander exiting the room, Jack and Henry immediately followed him.Daisy's bedroom,Daisy arrived inside her room with Dahlia and Andrew. A smile appeared on her face as she threatened Teresa, “You better stop pretending to be asleep and open your eyes now, if not, I'll definitely prohibit you from coming to my mansion”. Teresa immediately opened her eyes after she heard what Daisy said to her. In no time, she frowned her face as she questioned Daisy, “How did you know that I've already woken up and was pretending to be asleep?”. Daisy was walking towards Teresa when she replied, “I noticed how you closed your eyes immediately I entered”. “Tsk, you have sharp eyes like a hawk”. Teresa admitted and pouted her lips afterwards. Soon, Teresa stare
The black gates of the mansion opened up, and soon, a man in his early fifties walked in. He was wearing simple clothes, black trousers with a milk shirt. Plus, he was also wearing a really long jacket that passed his knee length. Diego's aura was calm and at the same time, filled with authority as he journeyed inside his mansion. “Sir Diego! What a big surprise!”. Ms. Rousey exclaimed as soon as she saw Diego enter inside the living room. Diego simply smiled back at Ms. Rousey and slightly nodded his head at her. It didn't take long and a bright smile appeared on Diego's face when he recalled about his troublesome daughter, Dahlia. He went ahead and asked Ms. Rousey by saying, “Rousey, is Dahlia around?. Actually, she didn't know that I was coming back today, and while I was telling her about it, my cell phone got snatched away”. “Oh sorry about that, and about Dahlia, It's been weeks already, Sir Diego. Dahlia moved out”. Ms. Rousey explained and nervously smiled after seeing th
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 as
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
