"Congratulations, Daisy. You're 1 month pregnant". Daisy's doctor announced it to her.
For the first time in 2 years, Daisy finally heard the magic words she always wanted to hear. She has been married to Lucius for 2 years, but there was nothing like romance between them. Until recently, one fateful evening when Lucius returned back home drunk.Daisy didn't know what got into Lucius, but that evening was when he laid with her for the first time ever.Daisy was still in disbelief of what her doctor said, so with doubtful eyes, she asked, "Are you really serious about this, doctor?".The doctor didn't say anything and only nodded his head at her for confirmation.Daisy smiled seeing her doctor's positive reaction. With haste, she left the check-up room.Daisy was already outside the hospital when she breathed deeply and happily said to herself, "I didn't believe this day would finally come. I think Lucius too would be in disbelief about this. But I'm sure he'd be happy to hear the news and celebrate with me".Daisy's car was parked in the hospital's parking lot. In order not to hurt her stomach, so she imagined, she was walking gently and carefully until she spotted her black honda. She arrived at her car, brought out the key for it from the backpack she hung on her back and opened the car's front door.Daisy entered the car, sitting at the driver's seat before she drove off as she plans to pay a visit to Lucius's company.It wasn't up to 20 minutes of driving and Daisy arrived at Lucius's company and was at the parking lot side.Not to Daisy's surprise, almost billions of expensive cars were parked where she was at the parking lot. And this was an everyday normal thing because, many famous companies always try their shots to get a contract investment from Lucius's company.Lucius's company is known as the number 1# successful company in the world. But unknown to Lucius, part of the success came from Daisy. Daisy is the eldest daughter of Mr Diego, a well known billionaire and an influencer. Although Daisy almost cut all ties with her family 2 years ago since they were against her marriage with Lucius.For the past 2 years after Daisy got married to Lucius, she opened an anonymous account, and just like her father, she was a great and skilled influencer too. Her influencing skills of advertising and promoting Lucius's company to the whole world came in handy, and since Lucius was a knowledgeable CEO and a great Chairman in the field of work, that just worked out Daisy's advertisement perfectly.Daisy could feel her heart pounding really fast as she came down from her car. Her forehead was even sweating."This is it, Daisy. If Lucius learns of this good news, he will finally love you with all his heart. And not to mention it, one day, he'll also learn that I'm not just an ordinary housewife".She said to herself and was filled with confidence as she made her way into the company floors.."Lucius, why aren't you saying anything? Don't tell me you've fallen in love with your wife". Annabelle Miller questioned with doubtful eyes seeing that Lucius wasn't saying anything yet.She pouted her lips and said, "But you know I had my reasons for rejecting to marry you then. I travelled to Korea to pursue my dream of being a popstar, but then I realised, my best dream is to be married to you. I came back and you were already married. That really broke my heart, you didn't even wait for me to come back and you married".Tears dropped from Annabelle's eyes to her cheeks.Lucius panicked, he stood up from his office chair and walked towards where Annabelle was sitting in his other office chair.He caressed her face and cleaned the tears on her cheek. "Don't worry, I'll handle everything. Just give me a week. You'll be my wife in a week". Lucius's husky voice came through and assured Annabelle.Annabelle smiled at Lucius. Her hands were just about to hold Lucius's hand when finally, they heard a slight noise from the office entrance door.They both stared to the direction of the door and saw Daisy staring at them with widened shocked eyes that were teary."I…. I'm sorry Boss. I tried to stop your wife from coming, but…. Please pardon me". Lucas, Lucius's trusted pa, announced as soon as he came inside the office.Lucius sighed in defeat. With his right hand, he signalled at Lucas for him to leave the office."Sure Boss". Lucas lowered his head at Lucius in respect as he replied. That same seconds, he left the office, leaving Lucius, Annabelle and Daisy alone."Lucius. What did I hear you say? We've been married for a while now. How can you make this kind of decision without my consent?". Daisy questioned, almost looking desperate.Daisy waited to hear what Lucius would say, but seeing that he didn't say anything, she questioned again, "Why would you want to make her your wife? Who is she? What does she have that I don't have?"."My love". Lucius suddenly said."Lo-ve?". Daisy muttered, but her voice was audible enough to be heard by Lucius and Annabelle."She has my love, Daisy. Something you could never have". Lucius declared.To Annabelle's ears, Lucius's words were like a bomb in her stomach that was giving her butterflies all over. Unlike Daisy, Lucius's words shattered her heart completely into pieces, she was at loss of words.Daisy saw Lucius hold Annabelle's hand just before he said to her, "Annabelle is my ex. I only married you in the first place because you remind me of her. But now she's back, let's be reasonable and end this one sided love of our marriage".Daisy still couldn't say anything even after listening to Lucius's words. Everything that's happening now was like a dream to her.Lucius stopped holding Annabelle's hand. He walked towards the left side of his office where the shelf was. And on top of one of the shelfs, he brought out a large envelope.Lucius handed the envelope to Daisy, all Daisy could do was collect it since she was curious to see what was inside of it.From the envelope, Daisy brought out some documents, and on one of the document sheets, two words "DIVORCE AGREEMENT" were written on it."You…. You want to divorce me? But why?". Daisy questioned in disbelief. Her eyes were redder than before since she was having a breakdown."I didn't mean for this to happen sooner. But since you're here and you already know why I married you, let's end things for good". Lucius said, not feeling guilty or anything.As Daisy further examined the document, it reached a point where the document states that she'd be offered a large sum of money."What do you take me for? A gold digger? I'm not going to sign this stupid paper". Daisy felt insulted and said. And the instant she said this, she felt Lucius's crimson eyes staring coldly at her, expecting her to use the pen he gave her to sign the divorce document.This is the first time Daisy has seen this cold side of Lucius!."I…. I hate you, Lucius!". Daisy trembled, and with a shaky voice she said. She threw the divorce paper including the pen at Lucius's face and dashed out of his office. As soon as she came out, the tears that already gathered in her dark blue eyes finally fell on her cheeks."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'l
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 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
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
