Chapter 4
MY HUSBAND HATES ME
Daisy arrived home in a merry mood, she had planned to cook lunch and go to the hospital later on,
She had made up her mind to fight for her marriage, if it meant impressing Steve then she would just so she couldn't lose him.
Her heart sank the moment she opened the door to their house,
Steven was going upstairs carrying Lizzy in his arms, she could see from where she stood he was looking down at her,
She blinked the tears away as she called out his name
"Steve, what is happening?" She asked Steve turned to look at her,
"I will join you shortly let me just take Lizzy to the bedroom," he said casually,
Daisy watched as Steve and Lizzy disappeared from her sight to the fourth floor where the bedrooms were located,
Her hands were all shaky as she blinked away more tears, it was evident at this point that things were going from bad to worse, how could Steve bring his mistress to their house?
That was unacceptable, he was crossing the line in terms of disrespecting her.
A while later, Steve came downstairs in a different T-shirt,
"Did you go to report to your father how you almost killed us?" He shamelessly asked, "Or let me guess, he was in on this too", Daisy took a seat at the nearest chair when she felt her legs get weak
"What is she doing here?" She asked,
"She will be staying here until she gets better, do you have a problem with that?"
"Of course, I do, How can you bring your mistress to our house and expect me to be okay with that? I want her out of the house right this moment" She gathered up strength and began to head upstairs but Steve stopped her
"What do you think you are doing?" He asked
"Am going to get her out of our house", Steve's grip on her hand tightened
"You are hurting me" she whimpered
"And am going to do more than hurt you if you get her out of the house" he warned, Daisy wanked him off
"Why are you treating me this way?" She wiped off tears as she keenly stared at him "Tell me, what did I do to deserve this, haven't I been..."
"You haven't been shit Daisy don't try to play innocent, you want to know the truth, I hate you, I hate you so much that it makes me sick seeing your face, I love it when your eyes are sore from crying, I love it when you look this pathetic and desperate and you know why? because I hate you more than anything!" Daisy stared at him with Trembling lips,
Each of Steve's words had pierced through her heart like a sharp knife,
"Steve" she whispered, "Why did you marry me, why did you pretend to love me?" Steve took a few steps until he stood an itch from her"So that I could see you suffer endlessly, Make you cry each day, you know why?, because when you feel pain, I feel happy, I want you to know how it feels to be in a situation where your father will never be able to save you" Daisy could not control her tears as she began to sob shaking her head wishing all this was only her imagination, but it wasn't,
Steve was standing so close to her that she could feel his breath on her face,
"Why do you hate me so much?" She asked gasping for Air but before Steve could respond, they both heard a scream from upstairs,
He immediately rushed there with Daisy following closely behind,
Much to her utter surprise, Steve had put Lizzy in their bedroom,
"What is..."
"Are you okay, what's wrong?" Steve asked as he immediately rushed to Lizzy who was on the floor,
"Are you hurt?" He continued to ask as he inspected her body
"Am okay, I just wanted to use the bathroom but couldn't manage standing up on my own" Lizzy spoke softly
"I will help you" With that being said, Steve carried her in his arms and headed to the bathroom,
Daisy was left standing in the middle of the room dumbfounded her emotions all over the place,
A few seconds later, Steve walked back into the room still carrying Lizzy, and gently put her on the bed
"You couldn't find any other room to put your mistress except our bedroom?" Daisy's entire body was shaking, she was angry and upset at the same time,
"Steve, please get me a glass of water", Lizzy spoke with what looked like a painful sign, Steve immediately rushed her out of the room.
Immediately Steve walked out of the room, Lizzy's face formed a visible grin
"What are you still doing here, get out of our room or do you prefer Steve kick you out?" Daisy had known this woman was pretending to be in a worse condition than she was but she didn't think she would shamelessly not hide it from her
"So you are putting an act just to win my husband over, let me warn you, I will get you out of this house within 24 hours, and not only will you leave the house but our lives as well", Lizzy let out a sarcastic laugh
"You think that is possible, in case you didn't notice, your husband is in love with me, you will witness it yourself when you hear me moaning while he is inside me tonight", Daisy could not contain her anger and held Lizzy by the neck tightly and that was the time Steve walked into the room, the glass cup he was holding in his hands fell to the floor and broke into tiny pieces,
He roughly pushed her to the floor
"You want to kill her!" The expression on his face was deadly
"I did not, she was, I was only" A hot slap silenced Daisy
"Get out of this room before I do something worse," he said,
Daisy slowly walked out of the room without a word,
She went straight outside to her car, this was it, Steve hit her because of that woman, she could not endure this anymore, she was going to court to file for a divorce,
She had been ready to fight for her marriage but there was nothing to fight for anymore, Steve loved Lizzy, there was no reason for her to continue this marriage...
Chapter 5HE DOESN'T WANT TO DIVORCE MEDaisy sat in her car outside the local court, she had been crying for a long time,She didn't actually know what to do, on one hand, she loved Steve so very much and knew she probably couldn't live without him while on the other hand, She couldn't put up with his behavior,She took a deep breath and got out of the car, each step she took towards the entrance of the court made her heart ache,Just when she got to the door, her phone began to ring, she stared at the screen her heart beating rapidly, Steve was calling,She decided she wasn't going to answer the call and watched it ring, she knew she would be disappointed by what he wanted to say yet again, with a deep sign, she put the phone on silent mood and put it in her hand bag and then entered the court,Inside there, she asked to see her family lawyer Mr.lewis but was told he had gone out,She went back to the car and decided to wait for him there,She didnt bother checking her phone for any
Chapter 6A SLY MISTRESS"Steve!" Daisy called trying to stop the fight that was about to break out, she stood up trying to break them apart but her knees felt weak and hence, she was almost falling when Steve quickly let go of Lewis and held her"Steve" she said this time in more of a whisper"Look at you, drank this time of the night and with a man!""Why does that make you upset after everything you did today" she demanded as she broke down in tears, Steve let out a curse and carried her in his arms,"This should be the last time I ever see you with my wife" he warned Lewis before he walked out with Daisy in his arms, "Put me down!, I wanna drink some more" She said as she tried to get off his arms but he held her tightly until they reached his car,His driver opened the car door for him while he entered with Daisy,"Why are you doing this?" Daisy asked , she held his face in both her palms,"Why Steve, please tell me why?" She asked this time, she had began to cry again,"You are
Chapter 7A NEW TEACHERA few seconds later, the door opened and Steve walked in with a tray of food,"Eat" he ordered and put the food on her side table, he then walked out and locked the door again,Daisy barely looked at the food and went back to bed, she had a big day tomorrow..The next morning when she woke up, she began to prepare for work, when she was done, she found the door unlocked and went straight to her car,She then drove to the school, it was still early so when she reached there, she went to a cafe to have her breakfast.An hour later, she was at the school entrance welcoming the little kids that were brought in by their parents,The kids where happy to see her after almost two weeks of her absence, they missed her a lot."We had a new teacher while you were away" Leo, one of the kids said"Oh really?" SHe asked"Yes, he is very nice and he said both of you will be our teachers", just then, a man walked into the class room, he was of average height with neat hair and
Chapter 8BAD BLOODAlex led Daisy to a table and then went to get a bottle of liquor and two glasses,He poured liquor into both glasses, "Hope you take this strong type" Alex said as he took a sit next to Daisy"Not really but right now I can take anything," Daisy said with a smile."Am glad to hear that, so tell me more about yourself Daisy Montero Dante, how did my brother manage to win over someone like you" Daisy didn't know what he meant by someone like her, as far as she was concerned, she was just like an ordinary person,"I guess I just fell in love," she said thinking of the time she had met Steve, she shook all those thoughts away, after all, it was nothing but pretense from his side, she turned to look at Alex"Can you tell me something personal Alex?" She asked"Yes, anything" Alex replied"Would you happen to know who your brother was dating before we met?" She knew her question was awkward so she let out a smile as she drank the liquid in the cup at one goal,Alex had
Chapter 9 ALEX'S CHILDHOOD LOVE "We can make Dinner just the two of us, Daisy won't manage, she is really tired" Steve quickly came up with an excuse "Well let me hear that from her" Mrs Dante said as she put all the ingredients on the kitchen counter "Mom" Steve began "Go and call her Steve" she said without sparing him a glance. Steve eventually went to his former room, he knew Daisy was upset and began to think about what he would do to get her to cook with his mother, He knew Daisy was quite Stubborn and that made him even more frustrated He got to the his bedroom and found Daisy still laying on the bed crying, he let out a frustrated sign as he felt she was rather overreacting. Daisy knew Steve had entered and stood just before the bed staring at her, that made her heart ache even more and she continued to cry, Steve cleared his throat, but Daisy didnt dare stop crying or look at him, "Don't you think you are over doing things?, we are at my parent's house for pete's s
Chapter 10 A LONG NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND 1 Steven did not bother to talk to Daisy, he watched her clean her wound while he pressed his phone, "Are you done, at least you should be able to help mom out with setting the table" he said, Daisy looked at him unbelievably "My finger hurts, I can barely touch anything how do you expect me to set the table?" She asked "You should have been careful when cutting the vegetables but who am I kidding, you can't do anything right!", Daisy put the first Aid away, She went into the bathroom and undressed the tight dress, she had honestly been uncomfortable wearing something that tight, she wore a bath towel and got into the shower to take a bath, She didnt hear Steve call out her name when his mom had told him that the food was ready, all she heard was the door to the bathroom open, She panicked and turned around grabbing the towel and covering herself "What the hell do you think you are doing?" She asked eyes widened "Dinner is ready" he sof
Chapter 11 A LONG NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND 2 "I wasn't trying to tell your mom anything, I was only saying what is happening" Daisy said her eyes still shut "Fine", Steve got into bed and laid next to her, Daisy had different thoughts running into her head, was Steve going to sleep next to her naked?, what was wrong with him,She nervously opened her eyes and at that exact moment, Steve moved closer to her, "what are you doing?" She asked nervously "You want to have kids with me?" He slowly asked. "Of course not" she whispered, Steve looked at her for a few seconds before he got out of bed, Daisy let out a sign of relief. Meanwhile, Alex had ordered some takeaways and watched a movie with Lizzy, She had asked him to leave over and over again but he insisted on keeping her company and eventually she gave in, They had a great night, talking about the old days and how long they had been in each other's life, Alex made sure not to talk about Steven as he knew that would make her ups
Chapter 12 Mr Montero's DEEDS It had been exactly five days since Jeff Montero had heard from his daughter, it wasn't unusual as it had become her habit since she got married. He heard from the school head teacher that Daisy had stopped working, He had tried to call her a couple of times but her line wasn't going through, He wondered what was becoming of his daughter, was she now so busy that she didn't have time for him?, He opened the file in front of his desk and looked at it one last time before he got his phone and dialed a number, A few rings later, the person on the line answered "Did you find out why my daughter has suddenly stopped working?" He asked "No sir" the man answered "Fine, be prepared I will contact you soon on what to do" he said and then hang up the phone, He now called Steven, as much as he hated to talk to him, he needed to know what was happening with his daughter before he lost his mind with over thinking, Steve answered on the second ring "Mr Mont

Steven Dante called to his wife who was still in their child's room "I will be out in a minute" she answered him "Hurry up, Maria, visiting hours will be done soon!" He yelled again, he had to wait for A few minutes before Maria and Daisy walked out with Daisy carrying little Rosie "What kept you so long?" Steve asked "I grow cold feet, Maria was convincing me to just let it go" Daisy admitted, Steve stood and held her hands "Honey, why didnt you tell me this is where you were feeling?" He asked "I didnt want to worry you, I mean we have been talking about this for a month now, I didnt want to make
Chapter 108 THE FALL OF MR MONTERO "They dont want money Dad, they said they want to see you turn yourself in or they will kill me" Daisy told him, "Oh Honey" Mr Montero covered his face crying "Please save me Dad, I don't know why anyone would want to frame you like this, am so sorry, I love you Dad" she coughed more blood making Mr Montero touch the screen of his phone "Honey, I will save you, please hang in there" he cried, Steve pressed the button and ended the call "Do you think that will do the trick?" Daisy asked worriedly "I think it will, all we have to do is wait, Alex, get rid of the phone" he said to Alex "Not before I send a text" Alex said, he texted Mr Montero telling him that if he didn't admit to killing everyone he has ever killed the next day before the verdict, then he would receive Daisy's dead body. " I will be on my way, you two be ready for tomorrow, Mom will come and pick you up" Alex said, "Alright goodnight" Steve and her said at the same time. Whe
Chapter 107 A COUPLE'S REUNION, TAKING ABOUT THE PAST AND FORGIVENESS.. "I don't believe you are okay, I was so worried about you" Steve admitted when they sat to talk on the bed "I was on my way to see you when the accident occurred, Daisy removed the necklace around her neck and opened it "Please get the laptop" she said, Steve got Alex's laptop and they put the memory card, Daisy played the video and they watched in silence, When the video was done, Steve turned to look at Daisy who was looking away, she seem not to want to watch the video again and he could only understand why "Thats your mother?" 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 got out of the car and opened the door for Mr Montero handing him a gun, they both went to the front door with two more of their men following behind. 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
