“Long time no see, Daisy. It's been long, except for the fact you surprisingly called me last night”. Teresa simply announced and still kept a straight face. “You still haven't answered my question, Teresa''. The surprised look on Daisy's face was replaced with a cold one as she reminded Teresa. “What, Daisy? Can't I be here? Is it only you that has the privilege to be here?”. Teresa questioned before she furrowed her eyebrows. “Alright, can someone please explain to me what's going on here?”. Dahlia stated. She was pointing at Teresa when she asked Daisy, “Big sis, who is she? And what are you guys talking about?”. “She’s my ex-friend, Dahlia. The same one I called yesterday”. Daisy didn't see any point hiding Teresa’s identity, so she told Dahlia the truth. “Your ex-friend?.... If that's so, could she be the one you told me, mine illegally?”. Dahlia gasped in disbelief after she said. Meanwhile, after leaving Henry to stand on his own, Daisy replied to Dahlia, “You're corre
Teresa also followed Daisy to the courtroom since her role was Daisy's lawyer. About 15 minutes later, Daisy and Teresa finally came out together from the courtroom, and they went ahead to meet Dahlia who was with Alexander, Jack and Henry. “Eh? Big sis, is it finally over?”. Dahlia was surprised to see Daisy, so she went ahead and asked.“Yes”. Daisy replied before she showed the papers in her hand to Dahlia..“Wow, our mommy is finally divorced. But, does that mean we no longer have to spy on lawyer Atlas, Alex?”. Jack questioned in a whispering tone as he didn't want Daisy to hear what he said. “You're correct, Jack. There's no need to keep an eye on lawyer Atlas”. Alexander simply announced before putting both of his hands inside his trousers’ pocket.“Wait, before we leave…. Teresa, about the text message….”. Teresa didn't let Daisy finish talking and she said, “Oh, I definitely was the one who sent the message to you, Daisy. But my message states you should arrive here by 6a
Daisy drove all the way to Dahlia's company, and when she arrived there, Dahlia, including the kids, came down from the car. “Dahlia, are you sure you don't want me to invest in your company already? I mean, the contract is currently ready and waiting for your signature”. “Oh, but-”.“That's right, I almost forgot. You said you'd sign the contract when our Dad returns, right?”. Daisy simply stated and continued talking after she saw Dahlia nodded at her, “Alright, anything you want, little sis”. “Mm”.“See you kids later then…. And remember to call me if you need anything”. Daisy concluded and drove off.“Wait…. Did big sis just refer to me as a kid?”. Dahlia was surprised as she asked. “But she's just a few years older than me”. Dahlia complained and pouted her lips. “Aunty Dahlia, we should go in already. I wanna stay in your shiny office”. Henry announced with sparkling eyes as he didn't want to continue standing outside. “Sure. Let's go, you brat that likes shiny stuff”. Dahl
Lucius left Daisy's office and went all the way to his mansion, where Annabelle was at the moment. Immediately Lucius came down from his car, he was instantly greeted by Annabella who was outside. “Was it you?”. Lucius immediately went straight to the point and asked Annabelle with a husky voice. “I don't understand, hubby. Was it me that did what?”. Annabelle slightly frowned her face when she said. “Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about, Annabelle. Now answer me, were you the one that sent that thug to hurt Daisy?”. Lucius demanded an answer from Annabelle, and this time around, his voice was threatening and cold. Meanwhile, Annabelle gasped in disbelief, surprising Lucius. “A thug tried to hurt Daisy? Unbelievable!”. Annabelle exclaimed with a really shocked face. “So you didn't do it?”. Lucius questioned Annabelle even though he was still suspecting her. “I swear, I didn't do it, hubby. Why would I want to hurt Daisy? It's not as if we're close or somethi
Daisy busied herself with work until the time was 9pm in the night. Sasha, including all the other employees had already left, the employees that are currently working now were the night shift workers. “What a long day I had today. Well, It was fun too”. Daisy packed up her things from her desk as she said. Actually, she discovered at the shareholders meeting today that her company was ranked #1. She was so overjoyed by her company's progress that she willingly decided to work overtime. After making sure she didn't leave anything behind, Daisy left her office and went down the building to her car. Upon entering and sitting in the driver's seat, Daisy soon drove off. Daisy's mansion, the living room Alexander, Jack, Henry and Dahlia haven't gone to sleep yet since Daisy hasn't returned. Instead, they all stayed in the living room watching a cartoon play. “Your mother is obviously late today”. Dahlia said out all of a sudden after she took a bite from the apple in her hand. “I
After tying the thug tightly outside, Dahlia and the kids later returned inside the mansion. And since Daisy hasn't returned yet, Dahlia kept the kids company and only left their room after making sure that they were asleep. “Open your eyes, little brothers. Aunty Dahlia is finally gone”. Alexander sat up on his bed before he announced. And soon, Jack and Henry opened their eyes and also sat up on their beds. “Are you still scared, Henry?”. Jack asked since he noticed the odd way Henry behaved while they were still outside.“I'm okay, thanks for asking Jack. I was scared because of the blood I saw”. Henry replied to Jack and shook his head abruptly after recalling the blood scene. “Brothers, let's bring out our laptops”. Alexander suddenly ordered, causing Jack and Henry to be surprised.“But why?”. Jack curiously asked as he came down from his bed. Alexander also came down from his bed before he replied to Jack, “Someone dare try to hurt our mommy, aren't you bothered by it? Don't
It was finally morning the next day and Daisy finally entered the private ward where Teresa was. Upon her arrival inside the private ward, she saw that Teresa was already awake and was silently staring around the room. “How are you feeling, Teresa? Are you alright?”. Daisy asked with a calm voice as she made her way to the bedside. “Teresa? Wh- who are you? In fact, who am I?”. Teresa's suddenly weird question caused Daisy to be super stunned. “Did you lose your memory?”. Daisy curiously asked before she suddenly recalled that Teresa wasn't injured in the head. “Teresa, who are you trying to fool?!”. Daisy hissed as she questioned. On the other hand, Teresa burst out laughing and soon groaned when she felt great pains in her abdomen. “Easy there, Teresa. The doctors stitched that place 12 times”. Daisy announced before going ahead to sit down. “12 times?! This would definitely leave a scar”. Teresa stared at her injury and exclaimed, before she started complaining. “Tsk, you
‘Eh, what are the police officers doing in here?’. Teresa wondered when she saw Daisy returned with two cops.“Lawyer Teresa, we'd like to ask you some questions about the thug incident of last night”. The head police didn't waste time and talked straight to the point. ‘Gosh, sometimes, police officers are just so annoying and get on my nerves! He didn't even ask me if I was okay!’. Teresa thought and was staring at the cops without batting an eye. Actually, Teresa isn't planning to say anything to the cops because she was annoyed.“Ahem”. Daisy faked a cough before she said to Teresa, “Teresa, don't you have anything to say to the cops?”. “I don't…. I'm suffering from a brain injury. So I don't remember what happened last night”. Teresa announced before she shut her eyes and pretended to be asleep. ‘Deal with that, cops!’. Teresa thought. After seeing the way Teresa behaved, Daisy tried her best not to laugh at Teresa, and in the end, she ended up being the one to explain everythi
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
