Chapter 24 AM NOT YOUR DAUGHTER "what?" Daisy looked at Steve, she couldn't understand how he felt this was the appropriate time to say what he did, "Nothing, just calm down" he said and walked with her to the bench "Does your head hurt?" Steve asked inspecting the bondages, "Am fine" Daisy replied, she could not believe that her Dad had let her down like this, She wanted to ask Steve where he had gone to but decided not to. The next morning, Steve and Daisy were woken up by an officer opening the cell "You are free to go?" He said "Both of us?" Daisy asked, "Yes", the officer replied, Daisy was relieved and got out of the cell with Steven, They signed the needed forms and went outside the police office, Steve insisted they go to the hospital to have her wound checked up again, though Daisy refused, he still called his driver and told him to take them there.

Chapter 25 A GOOD MOTHER Mrs Dante had a maid make tea for her and Daisy while they sat in the garden, she was showing her photos of some nice houses, "Which one would you like, remember you are choosing a house that you would like your kids to grow up in, God forbid anything happens to it like the previous one", She said "Yes mom" Daisy replied, she looked through the pictures until she saw one she liked "You like this one?" Mrs Dante asked, Daisy nodded in response, The older woman took a few seconds to really look at her daughter in law, "Why do you have that long face, are you still upset about what happened last night?" She asked, Daisy let out a deep sign "I was a bit shaken about what happened mother but Steven came on time, I can't imagine what would have happened if he didnt", the older woman pulled her in for a hug "Am glad he did, you are fine now" she paused a bit kissing her hair and for a second, Daisy was overwhelmed, its like she was in the arms of her own mot
CHAPTER 26 FLASHBACKS "Steven, come to bed, its already past your bedtime" A beautiful woman said to little steve who was cuddled up in his father's arms, "Mom, just a little more minutes, I want to learn how to play this game like Dad does" little Steve said clinging unto his father tightly "You have all the time of your life to become as good as your Dad now come on, let's go to bed" his mother insisted, "Honey, just five more minutes" her husband responded looking at the little boy "You have been saying that for the past two hours, you know he has school tomorrow,", she then turned to Steve, "come now love, let's go", Steve let out a sign and eventually got out of the coach "Goodnight champ" his father said "Good night Dad" he replied, He followed his mother to his room, when they got in, she kneeled down in front of him "You know you have school tomorrow, now I promise I will pack your favorite chocolate if you be a good boy", little steve's face immediately lit up "Re
Chapter 27 MISSING 1 Daisy was woken up by someone shaking her shoulders, she robbed her sleepy eyes and met with Steve's angry eyes "What happened?" She asked wondering why Steve would wake her up like that "Get up we are leaving!" He said, "Leaving to where?" Daisy asked confused, Steve in response held her hand and was dragging her out of the room, "Steve, where are we going to?" She asked, her headache was beginning to hurt even more, she tried to jerk his hand off but his grip was too tight, "Steve, at least tell me were we are going!" She demanded, she wished someone would show up right now and save her from Steve who was acting crazy, he dragged her all the way to his car and made her get in. An hour later, they had stopped in front of a penthouse, Steve got out of the car "Steve, why are we here, I hope you didn' bring me to Lizzy's house" Daisy said as she got out of the car following him closely behind "This will be your new house" Steve said barely looking at her,
Chapter 28 MISSING 2 Daisy was now feeling more restless as she paced back and fro the room holding her phone in her hands, She wondered if Lizzy was only trying to get on her nerves by telling her all that, could it be that she was lying and he was actually at her place?, She decided she wasn't going to get answers if she stayed home waiting for him like this, she had a bad feeling something had happened to Steve and hence rushed to his office to check if he was already there, She had been there even the previous day but was told he hadn't been to the office. When she got to his office, she asked his secretary who told him Steve had not come there in two days, "You can speak to Mr Dante, his father if its urgent" the kind secretary suggested "Is he in?" She asked, the secretary nodded, She wondered if it was the right thing to do, she knew how Steve's temper was, what if he got to find out she spoke to his father, he wasn't going to react well, "I will take my leave" she sai

Chapter 30 MISSING 3 "What the hell is this!?" Mrs Dante exclaimed in horror as she stared at her son dressed in only a little towel around his waist "Alex!, what the hell are you doing here?" She demanded, Alex had gotten red in the face as he rushed back to the bathroom, "You better come here fully dressed and prepared to tell me what the hell it is you are doing Here" she then turned to Lizzy who was also red in the face, "You are sleeping with Alex?" She asked, Lizzy stared at the floor as she shook her head "Mrs Dante, of course not" she replied, "Then what exactly is happening here?" Daisy asked her with a grin on her face, She felt happy, with everything they had seen, it was evident Lizzy was sleeping with Alex but what of Steven?, she wondered if she was sleeping with both the brothers without their knowledge. "Stay out of this!" Lizzy gave Daisy a warning look, shortly after, Alex walked out of the bathroom fully dressed "Mom" he began "I swear its not what it lo
Chapter 31 MISSING 4 Daisy didnt know what to do with all this overwhelming information Mrs Dante was telling her, She could clearly remember the first few days she had met Steven, He had looked happy but by now, she was well aware all that was presence, Steve was never happy, that's why his moods switched up all the time. "Do you think that's the reason why he treats me like this?" She asked Mrs Dante "Honey, am gonna be honest with you, No. Steve loves me and his Dad so much, I know that for a fact, I just don't understand why he would treat you like this" "And Alex?" She asked "What about Alex?" Mrs Dante asked "You said he loves both you and his Dad but what of Alex?" She asked "Let's just say they have a very complicated relationship", Daisy nodded to that... Steven looked at the woman sitted next to him dressed in a black suit, "What do you want little steven?" The woman asked with a smirk "Am not so little anymore" he answered, The woman was almost 20 years older th

He asked and she nodded softly "Am so sorry" he said "Yeah, me too, I feel sorry that I didnt realize this sooner, I hate Jeff Montero so much, the only way we get passed this is if we get him arrested and we are going to do that by all means possible" she said "Martha told you?" He asked "Yes, she told me everything, its funny how I didnt realize what kind of person my father i
Chapter 106 A BROTHER'S KEEPER Alex got home and found his family gathered in his father's study, everyone looked worried especially Steve who looked like he was about to cry any moment now, "What happened?" He asked breaking the silence when he entered the room "No one knows where Daisy is, even Mr Montero is worried sick about her, I need to find her, I can't help thinking if she is fine or not" Steve spoke "Am sure she is fine, we should all go to bed" Alex said, Both his parents and Steve gave him a deadly look "You expect us to sleep in a situation like this?" Mrs Dante asked with disappointment "See, that's what I always say, this boy will never change no matter what, he doesn't care about anything" Mr Dante spoke, Steve wanted badly to side with his parents as he didn't like what Alex said but he couldn't put Alex in the same situation again, he had realized his mistake so he couldn't repeat it again "I think Alex is right, there is no use of staying up being worried, we
Chapter 105 Alex's PLAN "what are you going to do then, keep me here until God knows when, I need to speak to Steve" Daisy said but Alex shook his head "Am sorry Daisy but I can't let you do this, not now, not yet" he said "Then how long will I be here?" She asked "Until Mr Montero pays for everything he did, I want him to be arrested, if I let anyone know that am behind this, I might get caught and I can't risk that, My parents and Steve's life are on the line right now, please be more understanding and let's work together" Alex pleaded, Daisy was thoughtful for a while "Fine but i hope this plan of yours works" she finally answered "Am hoping it does" the two were sitted in silence for a while each deep in thought. "How are you even connected to my father, I mean there is no where he would just want you to kill Steve out of nowhere" Daisy asked "You are right, I did something a while ago, Mr Montero had me covered in exchange for any information I would have against Steve"
Chapter 104 ONE COMMON PROBLEM Mr Montero ended up getting One of Judge mathew's children and ordered jonas to take him away, he was warned not to go to the police or do anything stupid if he wanted to see him alive again, All he had to do was make sure that he did exactly as he wanted, the judge was left with no choice. Just as he left the house of the judge, he received a call from one of the men he left at home "What's wrong?" He asked "Its miss Daisy sir" his heart skipped a bit"What happened to her?" He asked "She is missing, there was an accident on the way, she insisted on going somewhere and one of the men drove her there but when we got there, we only found the guard passed out, Daisy was nowhere to be seen" he explained "How dare you, didn't I tell you to make sure she didnt leave the house, find her or you will pay for this" he said and hang up the call "What happened sir?" Jonas who was driving asked "Daisy is missing, I think Steve had something to do with this"
Chapter 103 "Daisy, look at me" Martha said holding both her cheeks "You have to help your husband, Your father is a bad man, no matter what, he deserves to go to jail" she said "But how can I help Steve, he doesn't even want me" Daisy cried "Those were all lies, Steve brought you to the hospital, he sat next to you after you left the ICU until your father kicked him out, when he was arrested, Steve spent the night waiting for you, I spoke with him, he loves you more than you can imagine Daisy, go help him, he needs you right now" Daisy was surprised to hear that Steve had been there all along "But how, I don't even have any evidence except from what you just told me" she said "Look around your neck, that was your mother's necklace" Daisy looked around her neck to the necklace which she always had ever since she could remember, she took it off "What does this have to do with anything?" She asked confused "Open it up and get the memory card that is inside, I will leave you to it
Chapter 102 A MAN WHO GETS HIS WAY Mr Montero and Jonas went out to see the judge's family. After realizing that the evidence Steve had was solid and he was more likely to get jailed, Mr Montero was rather getting desperate, he came up with a plan to visit the judge and two members of the jury, this was the one way he was sure to win the case, if he had his way of knowing where Simon was, he would have already shot the old man dead. Jonas finally stopped the car in front Of the judge's house "Are you certain he is not yet home?" Mr Montero asked just to be sure "Yes, he has another hearing and is still in court, I cross-checked his schedule" he said "Are you sure?" "Yes Sir".

Jonas then rang the doorbell and soon after, a teenage boy opened the door for them, "Yes, how can I help you" the boy asked looking at his phone, h
Chapter 101 MY FATHER THE ENEMY Daisy went inside the house still deep in thought, she began to look for Martha and when she found her, she led her to her room, this was her only chance to confirm what Steve told her since her father was currently not around. "What is it Daisy, how did the case give, where is your father" Maria asked as they walked to her room "Dad might be found guilty, the evidence has is quite solid but I think its not enough, the final videct will be in two days" Daisy said. Finally they got to her room and she locked the door behind "Daisy, what's all this?" Martha asked confused by her odd behavior, Daisy made Marths sit on the couch and stared at her for a few seconds, "What's wrong, why are you looking at me like that?" She asked, in response, Daisy got hold of a picture which stayed at her bedside, it was of her mother holding her when she was only a little baby She stared at the picture, then at Martha and then at the picture again, Suddenly, she fel
