Cameron’s smile faded. Nollace did not stay to hear her answer. He picked his jacket up and left. He was certain that the answer was only going to be yes.Cameron waited until he disappeared into the door to lean against her chair, her mood pensive and thoughtful.A woman approached her from the side and informed her, “Mr. Cameron? Ms. Serrano invited you on a date in a restaurant.”A smile shadowed Cameron’s lips. “And she couldn’t even wait.”…The venue was devoid of other patrons. Clearly, Florence had the whole establishment cleared out just for her. Now, her bodyguards stood outside like a row of samurais.Cameron brought two women with her. She found Florence refining her make-up from her seat, her eyes staring at a compact mirror. “Ah, Cameron! You kept me waiting for a little too long.”The cap on her lipstick clicked. She looked up and flashed Cameron her most seductive smile.Cameron pulled a chair out, sat, and chortled. “That’s your winning make-up? You wouldn’t
Florence had put herself in trouble. She didn’t expect Cameron to be on such high alert, but if she didn’t drink it, it would mean there really was something in the drink.Once she was caught, Cameron would not let her or The Serpents get away. She took over the wine glass and downed the content.The glass was empty without a single drop left. “How’s that?”Cameron clapped. “You’re a good drinker.”She turned and got the woman behind her to bring a new bottle of wine over. The woman brought it over, opened it, and poured some into the decanter.Cameron picked up a clean glass and poured the wine in. He then noticed how tipsy Florence looked, so he smiled. “What’s wrong, Ms. Serrano? Not feeling well?”Florence clenched her jaw. “I remember that I have somewhere to get to. I need to go.”The effects had kicked in. She shouldn’t have used such a big dosage.Florence quickly got up and left, and Cameron didn’t stop her but continued drinking alone.The woman noticed that some
Florence was stunned but then glared at her. “You b*tch! How dare you hit me!?”She was going to call the guards but realized she had sent them away.Daisie rubbed her wrist. “I would do that any day if you hit my brother.”Waylon pulled her back after seeing how crazy the woman on the floor was. “You don’t seem to be feeling well. You should ask someone to come and get you.”After saying that, Waylon walked past her while dragging Daisie along. Florence shook with anger, but her men got there at that moment and blocked Waylon and Daisie’s path.The bodyguards helped her up. “Ms. Serrano!”Florence pointed at them and said, out of breath, “Leave the man. Teach that woman a lesson!”Waylon looked at the few men who approached with icy cold eyes. The bodyguards signaled at each other and rushed forward to take him down. However, Waylon turned and bent the man’s hand backward. The sudden pain made him howl while bending down on his knees.Everyone else became more vicious wh
After turning off the hose, the person on the floor froze and trembled, her makeup messed up. She was out of it for a while because that was the first time she was treated that way. She then yelled at the top of her lungs, “I’m going to kill you!”Daisie put her hands on her waist. “I helped you cool down, but you’re trying to kill me. So ungrateful!”Waylon cleared his throat and walked behind her. “Alright, let’s not stay here.”Daisie nodded and was going to leave with Waylon when a few cars blocked the exit of the garage, and a group of men got out. The leader was Manuel Estrada. Manuel saw Florence sitting on the floor and shivering while her men were injured. He took off his jacket, ran toward her, and wrapped the jacket around her. “What happened?”He helped her up, and Florence pointed to Daisie with hate. “Kill this b*tch!”Waylon stood in front of Daisie and faced them. “Ms. Serrano, are you sure you want to turn this into a bigger issue?”Florence looked deliriou
Florence wasn’t expecting someone to derail her plan. Cameron, the *sshole, was messing up her plans again!She started sweating while she clenched her jaw. “Cameron, this is none of your business. Stay out of it.”Cameron was the heir of the Southerns, and even her father Joaqin wouldn’t dare lay a finger on him, especially when Cameron was a very good combatant and was really good with hidden weapons. Even Fabio’s men were wary of his tricks.On top of that, he was as good a fighter as Manuel, and even if there were a group of them, they would be no match for him.Cameron crossed her arms and smiled. “You’re supposed to be my fiancee. How am I supposed to feel when you’re trying to grab a man in the middle of town?”Daisie was shocked but didn’t say anything.‘Florence is Cameron’s fiancee!? He has such terrible taste!’ Florence’s face turned pale, and she was angry but had to keep it together. Her father wanted her to marry Cameron, but if he used this chance to tell on her,
“Did you ask for permission before fighting in my territory?” Cameron slowly walked toward her. “Or do you think my father has no control over The Serpents, so you can do whatever you want here?”Florence trembled. “So you’re helping these outsiders?”“Anyone who’s here would be guests of my family. Even if they need to be taught a lesson, it’s up to us to do it. The Serpents have to power here, unless…”Cameron paused for effect, then raised her brows and said, “The Serpents have now found someone else to work with?”That statement was a bomb that exploded in Florence’s face. ‘Cameron must have noticed something, or he wouldn't have said that with so much conviction. That would be The Serpents’ end!’She knew well that her father was planning to betray the Southern Clan, but it hadn’t happened yet. If Sunny knew about that, The Serpents would probably be sent off the island.She looked at Waylon and clenched her jaw. She had to let this piece of fat meat go. She wasn’t happy a
As for Waylon, he looked just like a flower that grew up in a snowy mountain, sacred and unreachable.It was only now Cameron saw the light of why Florence was so obsessed with him.“As expected of the eldest son of the Goldmanns. Not only are you good at fighting, but you’re calm and collected as well.”Daisie looked at him in shock.‘He knows my brother’s identity?’Waylon narrowed his eyes. “It seems like nothing can escape your eye, Mr. Southern.”“I can see that something big is going to happen in the East Islands.” Cameron turned her head to look at Daisie. She raised his eyebrows and smiled at her. “So, girl, do you want to come home with me? It’s much safer there than staying with your brother.”Daisie was stunned. She looked at Waylon and said, “I’m not scared. I’ll stay with my brother.”Cameron chuckled and went closer to her. “You’re such an idiot. Do you know how much Ms. Serrano is obsessed with your brother? She’s coming for your life. If you come home with me, I
Joaqin’s face sank when he saw his daughter had been beaten up badly. He shot daggers at the people in front of him and hissed. “Hah, you’re just an outsider, yet you have the guts to challenge my family because you’re favored by Mr. Southern Sr. If you don’t give me a suitable explanation today, I won’t let you off so easily.”“So what are you going to do to us, Mr. Serrano? Are you going to invite Mr. Southern Sr. here?” Nollace came out of the hall. He had put on a mask to cover half of his face. With his golden hair, light-colored pupils, and pronounced jawline, he looked exactly like a foreigner, with half of his face covered.He took one step down the stairs after the other and continued. “Well, it seems like I don’t have to introduce myself anymore since you know who I am.” Joaqin harrumphed coldly. “It seems to me that you have no qualms in making us your enemy after what you did to my daughter!” Standing with his hands clasped behind his back, Nollace stopped in front
“Daisie.” Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. “You look so pretty today.”“Thank you,” Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. “I propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.”Daisie clinked glasses with her. “Same goes for you and Morrison.”After the toast, Cameron walked up to Daisie with Waylon. Behind them were Freyja, Colton, Maisie, and Nolan.Maisie raised her hand and caressed her on the cheek. “You were great earlier today.”She giggled. “Really?”Nolan added, “You’ll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.”Daisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. “Dad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisie’s hand.”“Consider yourself lucky.” Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. “You’d better treat my daughter well from now on.”Nollace glanced at Daisie. “Don’t worry. She’ll forever be my one and only.”Maisie chuck
In order to make way for the wedding carriage, other vehicles had been forbidden from accessing the route from the palace to the cathedral.Daisie looked out of the carriage—the streets were crowded with citizens, and they were all there to witness this grand scene.Nollace, sitting on the side, was wearing a double-breasted dark blue military jacket. He looked tall and broad, and there were two St. Patrick’s Stars on his epaulets, one on each side, a full set of medals on his chest, and other complicated decorations.He held the back of Daisie’s hand and smiled suddenly. “You have sweaty palms.”Daisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, “I’m nervous.”He lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. “I’m here, so don’t be nervous. Just take it easy.”Daisie’s gaze landed on his wedding jacket. “You look nice in this uniform.”Nollace chuckled. “And my bride looks stunning too.”Arriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b
“By the way, where’s Cameron?” asked Morrison.Waylon replied, “She’s accompanying her father on a stroll. I’m going to go meet them already, so I’ll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.”After saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. “He’s changed now that he has a wife.”“You’re speaking as if you haven’t changed.” Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. “Hey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.”Maisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. “Mrs. Goldmann.”Maisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. “Have you finished catching up?”“Of course. Didn’t you want to go to the Hathaways’ villa with Dad in the afternoon?”Nolan smiled. “I was waiting for you. We’re just going over to have a meal together.”Quincy walked up to Saydie’s side and
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. “Then I’ll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my mom’s jewelry company and design.”Nollace hugged her from behind. “You can do anything as long as you like it.”…The members of the Goldmanns arrived in Yaramoor two days before the wedding and stayed in the hotel arranged by Nollace. The royal family had reserved the entire hotel for receiving distinguished guests from Zlokova who came to attend the wedding.Members from the Bouchers and the Lucases showed up, and Sunny was also present.There were also some familiar faces from the Zlokovian entertainment industry. Hannah, Amy, James, and Charlie, who were close friends with Daisie, all came.Leah and Morrison were also on the invitation list.When Maisie came to the restaurant, the waiter led her into a private room.As soon as she saw the man sitting inside, she smiled and exclaimed, “Godfather!”Strix slowly turned around.She had not seen him for
The rest of the people laughed.The night came, and the entire city was shrouded in a mist of neon light. Daisie and Nollace returned to Taylorton after having their dinner.Her hair was wet as she got out of the shower. Nollace took over her towel and helped her to dry her hair.She sat in front of her dresser and looked at the person behind her through the mirror. There was a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth as she said, “Nolly, I’m really looking forward to our wedding.”“Really?” Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. “I’m looking forward to it too.”“I can say that my life is perfect now, right? Since I can marry and walk down the aisle with the man I love the most.”He laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. “You know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.”Daisie turned her head around. “What are your wishes?”“Marry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.”She was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme
“Yeah, it’s true,” replied Zephir.“It seems like you’ve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.” Naomi patted his shoulder. “I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.” He smiled at her but did not say anything.…Soon, it was the end of the month. Their vacation had come to an end, and they returned to Bassburgh.Maisie and Nolan were waiting for them in the courtyard. After getting out of the car, Daisie ran up to them. “Mommy! Daddy!”She hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. “You’re an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.”She smiled back at them and said, “But I know I’ll always be your kid in your eyes.”Maisie chuckled and looked at the other people. “It seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.”Freyja and Cameron went to look for their kids after they went into the house. Charm and her two cousins were staying in the same room. All of them were sl
Nollace looked at them. “What a coincidence.”“Morrison and I were here earlier than you guys,” said Leah. “We only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.”Daisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, “Then you should stay a few more days with us.”After Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. “She’s my sister-in-law, Freyja, and she’s my sister. Her name is Daisie.”“I’ve seen them before at your wedding,” said Morrison. “Your sister is my wife’s classmate. She has told me before.”“Since when did I become your wife? There’s a chance I may not marry you in the future,” said Leah.“We’re already engaged. If you don’t want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?” Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, “Engaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?” Leah cleared her throat and replied, “Well, I forgot to inform you abo
The stall owner said, “$10 for three chances.”“$10 for three chances only? That’s expensive,” commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, “I’m the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.” Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, “Let's just give him the money. It isn't easy for them to set up a stall here anyway, so let's have some fun.”After that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, “Please give us six hoops.”The stall owner gave her six hoops. She had her eyes set on a bracelet. Although she knew it was fake, it was rather beautiful. She held a hoop and threw it toward the bracelet.However, she did not get it.She threw another two hoops at the bracelet, but her attempts failed, much to her chagrin. She had only three hoops left.Seeing that Daisie was prepared to give up, Cameron took over the rest of the hoops in her hand and said, “Leave it to me.”She squinted and aimed at the bracelet. After that, she threw the hoop at it an
The night of the old town was silent. The air was filled with nothing but the humming of insects. There was a lamp hanging outside of the tent on the grass. The atmosphere was quiet. Daisie was tossing and turning in the sleeping bag as sleep just wouldn't come to her. Suddenly, an arm appeared across her waist as she was brought into a chest. “What’s the matter? You can’t sleep?”“Yeah…” She buried her head in his chest and said, “I want to go to take a leak, but I’m a little bit scared.”Nollace kissed her forehead and said, “I’ll go with you then.”Both of them came out of the tent. Nollace took a flashlight and led Daisie to a row of trees in the distance. Daisie turned her head and said, “You wait for me here.”Nollace nodded. “Just shout my name if you need anything.”She walked into the forest and stopped in front of a tree not far away from Nollace.After she had done her business, she hastily got out of the forest and held tightly to Nollace’s arm. “Alright, let’s go
