"Eric." Daisy leaned forward, needing to clarify something that was bothering her. "Did you see Julian when he arrived at Fairview? Did you by chance meet him one of the days he approached my parents?""Yes. He got his ass beat by Brett twice before he died as well." Eric reported a hint of pride in his voice. "Twice? Why would he go back after the first time?" Eric glanced at her through the mirror. "My guess, to be seen or taken more seriously. He was determined to keep the pressure up. And I bet he expected to frighten you eventually by revealing himself to you one day. But he just needed to be sure that he'll get the financial settlement he desperately needed before scaring the hell out of you. But he did manage to scare your mom instead. Effective in either case.""And no one cared to say a word to me while all of this unfolded." Daisy said quietly. "I can’t seem to get over that feeling. It hurts to be left in the dark.""Yeah, I understand." Eric nodded. "But He wanted you fr
Monday night found Daisy wasted from Madison's birthday bash. She was only able to recall a few things. How she got to Brett's new apartment however was a memory she couldn't recall no matter how hard she tried to, the next morning. Squeezing her eyes shut from her position on the bed the next morning, she groaned and placed her head in the pillow, willing herself back to sleep. The beaded shifted. Warm, firm lips drifted down her bare spine. "Good morning, my Sunshine." Daisy hummed. "Why do I feel like you sound ridiculously pleased with yourself?" She muttered. "Pleased with you, actually." He corrected with a beautiful smile. "You don't recall how you got here, do you?" She shook her head. "But I have a feeling Ugo has a hand in it." "Yes, she does. She called. She wasn't totally conscious though. She called the first number on your call log, which happened to be mine." "Would It have made any difference if she called or not. Your men were all over the place l
Daisy called her dad back first and the sound of his voice made her smile. "Daisy." The rich old-money voice of her father echoed in her ears, soothing her beautifully. "Don't tell me you missed me, Dad." She sat up straighter. "Well, I do. I always do. But that's not why I called." Geoffrey said. "Yeah, I figured." "I've been meaning to ask, what's going on between you and Lexington? What's the future like for the both of you, together." "Huh?" Daisy quizzed. "That's new. I never thought you'd be asking me that." "Tell me, pumpkin." "Why do you ask?" She pestered, determined to be a pain. "I spoke to Lexington." Goosebumps swept across Daisy's skin. She recalled Brett's statement about seeing her dance video on her dad's phone. "Was that how he saw my old dance video, the one you recorded on your phone?" "Daisy... that's not what we're talking about right now. But if you must know, we ran into each other and you know how I love showing you off...." She nodd
Thursday Morning and Daisy was dropped off at her apartment very early in the morning since Brett had an early one with Dr. Violet. She checked Ugo's room when she got inside but found it empty. She was digging in her closet when a knock came on her bedroom door. "Come in," she yelled from inside. A moment later, Ugo's voice sounded. "Where the hell are you?" "In here." Ugo's shadow darkened the doorway as she appeared. "So, you're sneaking in and out of your apartment now?" Daisy chuckled. "I'm not. I checked your room when I arrived and you were out." She sighed. "Yeah, just stepped out for a morning jog." "I'm so jealous of your body right now. I haven't been to the gym nor Pith's studio since forever." Daisy scowled at her friend's body. "Well you have been engaging in other forms of exercise if you know what I mean." Ugo winked. "And your body is still very much perfect. So, who's complaining?" They laughed as Daisy pushed a grey-colored dress toward Ugo. "Lovely wa
Done with her little time with her best friend, Daisy left for Lex and Gibson in a cab. As the cab stopped in front of her office building, the sight of the SUV at the curb gave her the usual thrill. When she hopped out of the taxi, she peeked into the front seat and waved when she saw Ben sitting inside. He stepped out, with a subtle smile. "Good morning, Miss Ledwig," he greeted her. Although Ben wasn’t a young man and he already had noticeable strands of gray hair, Daisy had never had any doubts about his ability to protect Brett. "Hi, Ben. It’s good to see you. You’re looking lovely today." She told him."Thank you." Ben replied. "I wish you a very beautiful day."Daisy nodded with a big smile. "See you later."Ben's pale blue eyes were kind as he bowed from his waist. When Daisy got upstairs, she found Madison looking more like her usual self. Her smile was wide and real, and her eyes had the sparkle she enjoyed seeing every morning. She stopped by her desk. "How is my favori
When Daisy got back to her office building, she was totally tense and angry. Her plans of repairing her relationship with her mother was futile and now she has to be bothered about a godforsaken prenup. She had just twirled through the revolving front door of the building when she saw the woman she'd prefer never to see again, Lana. And she was talking to her man, with her palm resting intimately against his chest. Lana's long black hair fell to her back, on a glossy black dress. She was a beautiful woman, a knowledge that pierces Daisy's heart every single time. And worst still, the both of them made a stunning couple while viewing their stance together. Abruptly, Brett's head turned and found Daisy, as if he’d felt her watching him. The instant their gazes met, Daisy felt that soul-deep recognition pierce through her, that primitive awareness she'd only ever felt with Brett. Lana turned and saw Daisy. She drew in to plant a kiss on Brett's lips. But, he jerked back just befor
Brett pulled Daisy's hips to the very edge of the desk with her legs on either side of him, exposing her cleft to his gaze. "So tell me Baby, what made this pretty cunt so greedy today?""You.""Perfect answer."Daisy pushed at his shoulder. "Your suit reminded me of when we met. I wanted to fuck you so bad that day, but I couldn’t do anything about it. Now I can."He pressed her thighs wide with gentle hands, and stroked over her clit with his thumb. Her sex quivered as pleasure pulsed through her. "Now I can," he repeated her words.Daisy grasped desperately at the cushion beneath her. Her stomach tightened as his tongue licked leisurely through her slit. He rimmed the trembling opening to her sex, teasing her before his tongue sank into her. She arched violently, her back bowed as he tormented the tender flesh of her sex. "Let me tell you how I imagined you that day," he purred, circling her clit with the tip of his tongue."I imagined you spread beneath me on that hockey pitch
"You had a beautiful moment with Dr. Violet today?" Daisy asked after cleaning up. "Yes. She thinks my nightmares will keep getting better and overtime, the bad ones will be replaced by good memories." "Did you tell her that you've not had any nightmare since three days?" She pulled out a bottle of water from the fridge while Brett arranged his tie. "I did. She thinks they'll come back, but not as fierce and tough as before." He shrugged. "And Lana?" "What's the correlation between Lana and my shrink?" "Daisy took a seat opposite him. "You know what I'm asking about. Don't play the dumb card with me." Brett took a seat opposite her. "You're sure you don't need to get back to work, it's actually getting late." She checked her wristwatch and shook her head. "Nah, I have up to ten more minutes. Tell me." He took the leftover water she placed on the table and gulped it down. Daisy headed back to the fridge and brought another water for him. "Her book has been placed on indefini
