Alex's POV

After getting a call from home, I rush out of my office and instruct Kelvin to take me home. When he drives the car out of the company's parking lot, I place a call to the doctor as fear begins to grip me with different questions popping up in my head.

Is she in pain? Is that why she is crying? Does it hurt a lot?

Did something happen?

Agnes picks up the call at the fifth ring. "Hello, Alex."

Without beating about the bush, I go straight to the point of my call. "I just got a call from home now. The head maid said Daisy is crying."

Silence ensues in contradiction to what I am expecting. I am thinking she will gasp or shout and ask us to come to the hospital immediately.

"Are you there?" I ask quickly.

"Yes. Why is she crying?"

"I have no idea," I shrug as if she can see me. "She hasn't been eating too like you said she would."

"Is that why she is crying?"

"I don't know, Agnes. Do you think she is fine? Should we come to the hospital right away? Will she be ok? You said she

    Alexander's POVThat voice. It was a female's voice. It was a woman bawling her eyes out in a male's restroom.But it exuded nothing but pain and agony.The sound of the shower running reminds me of the sound of her crying and I find myself wondering why she would be crying that way in a restroom.It is unhealthy. Who is she anyway? Did she get ditched by her boyfriend and the restroom was the only place to let out her hurt without anyone knowing? Did she catch her boyfriend banging another woman?That must be it! This is a club after all.Waving the thought of the crying woman away, I turn off the shower and get out of the bathroom, in a hurry to get dressed and get to work.I came to the club for a reason.

    Daisy's POVI am falling off a building but I can't make a sound because my eyes are tightly shut waiting for the impact of the floor and for my head to break into pieces.But I didn't hit my head.A sound eventually comes out of my mouth. Not a scream in fear of death. A wince.This is when I realize my arm hurts. Then, my eyes flutter open to meet reality.I am not in school, not at work, and not on the floor after jumping off a ten-leveled building because I want to give up on living.Where the hell am I? I ask inwardly as I try to stand up from my fall.A pain sips through my arm and my head bangs severely. My gaze shifts to the huge bed and it dawns on me when the memories of last night come rushing back.I fell off this huge bed thinking it was from a building. I didn't sleep on the streets last night because I….I gasp.I saw a stranger. The same man watched me closely at the club last night like a predator watching over its prey."Goodness!"

Why? Why me?Is this the condition for helping me? What about school? How do I manage to carry his baby and going to school?Wait, did I just think of accepting the offer? Why the hell am I thinking of how to cope with carrying a baby and going to school? Is this how desperate I am?Well, you are desperate. You are the true definition of desperate, my subconscious retorts."You don't need to give me a reply immediately", he mentions, pulling me out of my reverie. "I can give you a day to think about it but after a day and I don't hear from you, I guess I will find someone else."He looks so confident and sure of what he is saying. He doesn't look shaken as though he has done this with a woman before.I don't even know what to think. My head is spinning.

My stomach feels empty, way too empty like I have nothing in there and the host inside of me is already feeding off my intestines.Quickly, I scramble out of bed to go see what they have in the kitchen, uncaring about how I look right now.Brenda and some of the girls are already suspecting that I am expecting a baby because of how they stare at me coldly and also share knowing looks between themselves. I am not bothered by any of that if they won't come to ruin what I have here with Alex's parents.When I am gone, they can do and undo whatever, I won't care then because I will be far away from them and from here.As soon as I am done with my final papers, I will have my things packed up to leave New York City and if possible America.I don't want to be reminded of any of these.

I always watch my phone, expecting it to ring at any time.Sometimes, I wonder if I am desperate for some bad news because I focus more on my phone than my work.The doctor said everything is going fine but I still can't help the worry I feel whenever I leave for work in the morning and when I get home at night.Daisy is a strong woman indeed.

He takes her to school and back from school. Whenever she wants to visit my Mother while I am at work, he takes her there too.

And there are many of them here. In the kitchen.I ate two with orange juice before going back to bed. When I woke up, I felt better, which was the reason why I decided to take a bath before Alex comes back home.I don't want him to be worried about me or the baby. By the time he is back, I will be my normal self and he will have no cause for alarm.
