Runaway.

"I can't stay here. It's so suffocating". Daisy muttered as she sniffed and wiped her nose.

She exited the building all the way down to the parking lot where her car was. As she entered her car, she hesitated for about 5 minutes as she was trying to catch her breath. She was finally able to before she drove off.

"Lucius, what are we going to do? What if your wife doesn't agree to sign the divorce paper? What will happen then?". Annabelle's eyes were teary as she questioned. "I blame myself. If only I didn't reject your proposal to me 2 years ago, then it would have been me married to you now". She admitted.

"I told you not to blame yourself, Annabelle. It's going to annoy me for real. I've told you to stop blaming yourself". Lucius said.

He went ahead and sat on his office seat, while Annabelle's eyes never left his side.

Lucius massaged his temple and said, "Don't worry about Daisy. She's a softhearted person. She's probably going through a breakdown now because of the news. I'll bring up the divorce paper to her again when I return to the mansion".

"Phew". Annabelle sighed deeply and said, "In that case, I'm not worried anymore. And thanks Lucius, for accepting me back".

.

Daisy arrived at the mansion. Her face was all sweaty since she had been crying while she drove.

She didn't respond to the greetings of the servants and just walked inside the mansion straight to her and Lucius's bedroom.

She sat on the bed, didn't move nor say anything. She was just staring blankly at everything as if all hope had been lost.

Although Daisy's eyes were still teary, she suddenly smiled and muttered the word, "Love?". She stopped smiling and said, "Lucius said I could never have his love. I'll never forget this. How can he do this to me? Our first meeting was at the bar, and he said he loved me. Was he drunk when he confessed to me then? I doubt that. We even dated for a month before we got married. How can he do this to me now? I've endured 2 years of one sided love because I thought that he'd finally love me back again just like our first meeting. But turns out I was just a replacement wife".

Daisy couldn't help it and cried out bitterly while she clenched her shirt and was hitting her chest roughly. She suddenly stopped her action when he remembered that she could hurt her little one in her stomach.

Daisy gently rubs her stomach as she finally stops sobbing. She said, "I'm so sorry, sister and father. I should have listened to you when you said Lucius wasn't the right husband for me. I was just so ignorant and blinded by love that I couldn't see it myself".

She stood up on her feet as her mind was already made up. "I can't continue with this anymore. Even though I can't return back to Dad's mansion because I'm ashamed of myself, I won't let this breakdown bring me down. I'll eventually be a lady everyone loves". Daisy declared to herself before she stared at her flat stomach and said with a soft voice, "Don't worry, my little baby. Your father may abandon me, but I'll never let you go. I'll give birth to you, take care of you and love you with my whole heart".

There was total silence afterwards since Daisy didn't talk anymore. She located her wardrobe and packed her belongings. The servants of the mansion weren't aware that Daisy was leaving for real, so they didn't try to stop her.

As Daisy made it outside the mansion, she muttered, "I hope never to remember this mansion again, the memories are depressing". With this, she left.

Hours passed and it was already evening. Lucius returned to the mansion. He went to his bedroom, expecting to meet Daisy there waiting for him since it's always what she'd do. But as he got in, there was no sign of Daisy which left him puzzled.

Lucius doesn't always return home, but he did today since he planned to persuade Daisy to sign the divorce paper.

Something didn't feel right to Lucius since it was unlike Daisy not to be here waiting for him. The door to Daisy's personal wardrobe was slightly opened. Lucius was curious and so he went ahead to completely open the wardrobe.

He saw that all of Daisy's clothes were missing.

Lucius' eyes widened. He clenched his hand and he said, "Did she run away knowing that I can't get married to Annabelle if I don't divorce her? How daring".

Lucius couldn't accept the fact that Daisy had run away. There was only one place that came to Lucius's mind when he had a thought of where Daisy could possibly go. And that place was, Mr Diego's mansion.

To confirm his thought, he left his room and went to his car parked outside. He entered it and drove out speedily through the silver gate his security guard opened for him.

Lucius' driving was so rough that it almost attracted the police's attention.

Lucius was finally at Mr Diego's mansion, but the security guard that stood by the gate didn't agree to open the gate for him to drive into the mansion premises.

"I apologise, Mr Lucius. But the second young miss of this mansion ordered me never to let you in except you've come with her sister".

Lucius massaged his temple in defeat. Before he left, he demanded to know from the security guard whether Daisy came to the mansion, but the security guard honestly told him that the first young miss, Daisy, didn't come.

It has been more than 10 minutes since Lucius's car drove away when Dahlia's car showed up and stopped at the exact spot Lucius's car was before.

Dahlia waited for the security to open the gate for her car before she drove inside the mansion premises.

"Second young miss".

Dahlia paused driving when she heard the security guard call to her. She already had an idea of what he might say to her since she ordered him to only stop her urgently if he had an important message about her sister, Daisy, to report.

She rolled down the front seat window so she'd be able to listen to the security guard.

The security guard told Dahlia everything that happened a while ago.

"So he came all the way here to ask if Daisy came here?". Dahlia asked the security guard and he nodded his head at her. "Thanks for the information, I'll reward you later. You may go now". Dahlia notified him and drove off.

She stepped down from the car and entered the mansion in front of her. She went to her bedroom and removed her shoes as she got in.

She went and laid on her bed. Staring at the ceiling, she said, "This is fishy. Daisy hasn't visited the mansion for two years. What makes Lucius think she'd visit now?".

Her eyes widened and she sat up on her bed. "Did something happen between Daisy and Lucius? I knew this day would come! I clearly told my sister Lucius isn't the perfect husband for her but she didn't listen to me". Dahlia was panicking.

She wasn't at ease sitting on the bed, so she came down from it and was pacing back and forth with different thoughts inside her mind.

'Damn it. Father will return tomorrow evening and I can't visit Lucius's mansion by myself now to see if everything is alright over there. I haven't seen Daisy for 2 years, it'd be awkward to just visit now'. Dahlia thought.
