When Daisy got back to her office space, she felt at peace while she anticipated her therapy session with Brett at Dr. Violets. But her plans were ruined when Brett called and announced gruffly that he had to sort out some pending issues with some of his investors and as hard as he had tried, there was no way he could push the job to someone else.

She sighed and made a quick call to Eric, telling him that she'll be going for her Karate session a bit earlier than usual.

5:00pm came and Daisy made her way to the lobby while texting her boyfriend . Brett's SUV was at the curb already and she saw Eric parked a bit farther. She waved warmly at Ben and went straight to her waiting car.

Normally, she would have had Ben take her to Pith's studio. But she knew better than not to take the car her parents sent to her. Bridget Ledwig would definitely breathe fire and brimstone down her head if she tried.

She gasped in shock when she saw Ugo, already seated behind the car, waiting expectantly for

    Brett's gaze darkened for an instant before his perfect, implacable mask slid effortlessly into place. "What are you doing here, Daisy? It’s not a good time." He said, shrugging into a simple Tee. He was still wearing his trouser from the morning but had changed his shirt to a lazy Tee. "I have a lot on my plate right now and a deadline to meet." Daisy gripped her phone tightly. Seeing Brett so free with his hair wet reminded her how badly she wanted him and what they shared in his office just hours ago. She looked at him and realized that she was crazy in love with him. She needed him like she needed to breathe...... which only made it easier for her to understand how Sheila and Lana felt, and to relate to the lengths they might go just to try to lure Brett away from her. "Why are you half dressed?" She asked. "I'm home Daisy, I can decide to go naked while inside the house. But I actually got something on my shirt that I decided to clean." He replied "Daisy,I need to be at my ho

    Brett growled. "You think I went with Lana because I was overcome with the need to be with her and get away from you?" "I don’t know, Brett. You ditched me, you’re the one with the answers.""Daisy, you forget so soon? You ditched me first." Her mouth fell open. "I did not." "The hell you did. Almost the second we arrived, you took off. I had to hunt you down and when I did, you were dancing with that prick.""Armstrong is my cousin, I told you that already.""A distant cousin." He said in a form of reminder. And believe me Daisy, I don’t care if he’s a damned priest. He wants to nail you.""Oh my God, that’s absurd. Stop deflecting, Brett. You were talking business with your associates. It was awkward standing there. For them as well as me.""Daisy, that's your place, right there, beside me, that's where you ought to be. Awkward or not."Her head jerked back as if he’d slapped her. "Excuse me, come again please." "How would you feel if I walked away from you at a Lex and Gibson e

    "I understand you need time before you share secrets that are painful for you. I’ve been where you’re at, knowing I needed to talk about what happened to me but just not ready. That’s why I’ve tried very hard not to push you or rush you. But this secret is one that’s hurting me, and that’s different. Don’t you see that?"Cursing under his breath, Brett cupped Daisy's face with cool hands. "I go out of my way to make sure you don’t have any reason to feel jealous, but when you do get possessive, I like it. I want you to fight for me. I want you to care that much. I want you to be crazy about me. But possessiveness without trust is meaningless, it's hell. Daisy, If you don’t trust me, we’ve got nothing at all." "Trust goes both ways, Brett." He sucked in a deep breath. "Damn it!""Don’t look at me like that." She told him. "I’m trying to figure out who you are. Where’s the man who almost pulled down the heavens just to be with me. The man who didn’t hesitate to tell me I tie him up in

    Dr. Violet was tall, with neatly groomed gray hair and sharp yet kind eyes. Her office was tastefully decorated in neutral shades and her furniture was extremely comfortable, something noteworthy of everyone's visits to her.Aside from being her therapist, Dr. Violet has been Daisy's mom’s shrink for the last couple of years. She watched as the older woman settled into the gray wingback chair across from the sofa Brett sat.Dr. Violet's keen gaze shifted between them, clearly noting how they'd each taken seats on opposite ends of the sofa, their stiff postures revealed their defensiveness. Flipping open the cover of her tablet, Dr. Violet said, "Shall we start with the cause of the tension between the both of you?"Daisy waited a beat, to give Brett a chance to speak first. But she wasn’t surprised when he just sat there, silent. "Well, in the last twenty-four hours I’ve met the fiancée I didn’t know Brett had." "I don't have a fiancée," Brett growled. "Well, he proposed to her a

    Dr. Violet's brows rose when Daisy uncrossed and recrossed her legs, nodding. "Multiple times, daily." Brett stepped in, "on average."Laying her tablet flat on her lap, Dr. Violet met Brett's gaze. "Is this level of sexual activity customary for you?""Nothing about my relationship with Daisy is customary, Doctor.”"What was the frequency of your sexual encounters prior to reuniting with Daisy?"Brett's jaw tensed, and he glanced at Daisy. "It’s okay," she told him. He reached his hand out, closing the distance between them. Daisy placed her hand in his and appreciated the reassuring squeeze he gave her. "Twice a week," he said tightly. "On average."The number of women quickly added up in Daisy's mind. Her free hand fisted in her lap. Dr. Violet sat back. "Daisy has brought up concerns of infidelity and lack of communication in your relationship. How often is sex used to resolve disagreements?" Brett's brow arched. "Before you assume Daisy is suffering under the demands of my ov

    Daisy's heart ached in her chest. "I like you now, Brett. I just don’t like you keeping secrets. It’s going to break us up." "Don’t let it," he murmured, tracing his brows with his fingertip. "Trust me." "Well, you have to trust me back." Folding over her, he pressed his lips softly to hers. "Don’t you know, Sunshine." He breathed. "There’s no one I trust more." Sliding her arms beneath his jacket, she hugged him, soaking up the warmth of his lean, hard body, worrying that they were beginning to drift from one another. Brett pressed the advantage, his tongue dipped into her mouth, lightly touching and teasing her with velvet licks. Deceptively unhurried. Daisy sought a deeper contact, needing more, always more. Hating that aside from this, he gave her so little of himself. He groaned into her mouth, an erotic sound of pleasure and need vibrated through her. Tilting his head, he sealed those beautifully sculpted lips. The kiss deepened, their tongues stroking, their breaths

    Looking into her worried eyes, Daisy let Ugo see how worn down she was and received a reassuring squeeze on her shoulder. "We’ll take it easy this weekend. We'll recharge, we both need it. Will you be alright tonight?""I’ve got her." Brett straightened from his perch on the lip of Daisy's bathtub, where he’d taken off his boots. "That doesn’t mean I’m not here." Ugo pressed a quick kiss to Daisy's temple. "Holler if you need me." The look Ugo gave Daisy before she left the room spoke volumes. She wasn’t comfortable with Brett sleeping over. Truth was, even Daisy had some reservations, too. She felt her lingering wariness over Brett's sleep disorder was contributing a lot to her wild emotional state. As Ugo had recently said, the man she loved was a ticking time bomb, and she share a bed with him. She rinsed out her mouth and dropped her toothbrush back into its holder. "I need a shower." She had taken one before she slept off, but now she was feeling dirty again. Cold sweat clung

    "Brett.... please." Daisy pleaded.He kissed her temple. "I'll say when." She nodded and her grip loosened automatically. He stepped back and away from her, and his hand dropped to fist his dick. Daisy shifted restlessly, her attention turned to his hand. As the distance between them widened, she began to ache, her body responding to the loss of Brett's. "See something you like?" He purred, pleasuring himself. Astonished that he’d taunt her after denying her, she looked up and her breath caught. Brett was burning slowly, too. She couldn’t think of another word to describe him. He was watching her with a heavy-lidded gaze like he wanted to eat her up, alive. His tongue slid leisurely along the seam of his lips, as if he tasted her. When he caught the full lower curve between his teeth, Daisy curved lowly, feeling warmth between her legs. She knew that look so well..... knew what came after it...... knew how feral he could be when he wanted her that badly. It was a look that scream

    We were now in an open corridor. Rocco stood like a statue at the end of the room, staring into space. Two other guards stood at a reasonable distance, taking the same stance. I snatched my hand back from him, crossing it over my chest. "Good. Then that's settled. But make no mistake, he turned "I'm going to take my pleasure from you, how and when I deem it fit." He threatened. "You dare not!" I challenged, creating a distance between us. "Really," he mused. "Let's see how that goes." "Every single thing about this situation is disappointing," I corrected him, feeling my jaw quiver. I had a temper. So I try so hard to always remain happy and positive. And that was why I surrounded myself with people that really love and care about me. They all knew and understood how bad my temper used to be. As a form of control, I would always remain cold and calm in situations I have no power over. Until I grab a full picture of the situation. But then, in some conditions, I almost alw

    I was awakened by the distant sound of the television. Immediately I opened my eyes, I saw Maxine cropped up on a chair at the end of the room. "Welcome back to the land of the living," he muttered. "Where are we?" I croaked, sitting up on the bed and surveying the empty room that had only a bed and a television. Maxine stretched his arms, and sighed. "Home, The Garden." "Thank God." I sighed, before realizing what he meant. "You mean your home is referred to as The Garden?" "Mhmm." He hummed. "Gross." I spat out. "It's a good name." He stood up. "Hollis totally owe me for this." He murmured and left the room, not even saying a goodbye or any other word. My throat felt raw, and my body, emotionally exhausted. I could feel dark isolation seeping through the room like deep depression. I just wanted to go home, to go shopping, boat cruises, clubhouses and the courtroom. I wanted my life back. But even I know I couldn't. Not with the continuous attempt on my life and wi

    Maxine gripped the steering wheel and side-glanced me. "Put your seatbelt on, this is going to be fun." I did as I was told, and he hit the red button on the rearview mirror, which caused the garage door to slide open. We drove out onto the gloomy street. Maxine didn't let go of the gas pedal until we were driving well above the speed limit. Darkened street signs flashed by. He sped through a red light, swerving around a car that was patiently waiting for its turn. 'What was the point of making me wear my seatbelt if he was planning on killing the both of us by crashing the car.' With an extended grin, he weaved us in and out of traffic. Eventually we moved away from the city streets and onto a country road. We picked up more speed, but at least there were no other cars to play chicken with. I was able to unclench my teeth and my stranglehold on the security bar against the door, using my free hand to wipe my newly dampened forehead. The car air-conditioner couldn't do anyt

    The next time I woke up, the sun was already setting. I was feeling better, rested, though my joints and muscles ached from the lack of movement. As for the bump on my head, it was only sensitive to touch. there was no more throbbing. My hair on the other hand was a tangled mess. My head felt naked when my hair was down. I searched my pockets and then the barren room for anything that I could use to tie it back. The only thing I found was the glass of water that had been refilled, and that I greedily gulped down. The bedroom door had been left open, and hollowed sounds from a Television could still be heard. As soon as the smell of food tickled my nose, my stomach grumbled. The last meal I had eaten was the vegetable sauce my mother made specially for me. How long ago was that? My brain was still too foggy to count back the hours or the days. The thought of my mother sent chills down my spine. I haven't heard from my parents and I knew they would be worried sick. Letting my sto

    With a stiff neck, I scanned my surroundings. there wasn't much to decipher. I was in a small room, lit only by the bedside lamp that was on the table next to the bed. There was an armchair with a rose velvet cushion in one corner. The walls were bland and frameless. After waiting for another bout of nausea to pass, I went to the window, holding on to the small table as support for my shaky frame. Outside, the sunsetting sky was of resilient palettes of shady hues, and I was peering over the shadows of endless rooftops. Wherever I was, it was high above a city, at least twenty stories high. Down below, a yellow cab was waiting at a red light on an otherwise empty street. I couldn't decide if I was still in Lilycity. I thought I had a fair recognition of the clock tower that stood at the center of the city square, but it was too distant and I was too tired to be sure. My hand pressed against the glass. I closed my eyes until the dizziness passed, then slowly and painfully moved to

    There was a flash of light and distant noises. My head felt like someone was taking an ice pick and pouring heavy chipping on my skull. I decided that death couldn't be this painful, so I was probably not dead or this was what hell was supposed to feel like. My eyes were pried open, and a light came flashing again. This was followed by a groan, like a bear cub. 'was that me?' I managed to flutter my eyes open without anyone's help. Inches away from my face, someone was holding a pen-sized flashlight. I couldn't focus enough to see him, but I could definitely smell him. Light scent of woodberry and some chemicals I remember enduring the mixing process once I snuck into the chemistry laboratory during practicals that were meant for students offering science courses. The ceiling was swimming. I thought I was going to vomit, and I had to let my eyelids drop to stop the spinning. Slowly, the muffled sounds became words. "What's your name, sweetheart." Asked the man with the flashli

    I climbed down carefully from the grey van that picked me up from the house. I was going to see a cartel Boss. So there are quite a lot of things that could happen today. It's either I end up dead or I succeed in striking a good deal that will keep my father alive and give my family enough time to pay up the crazy-absurd debt they leveled against my Father. If the stars are in my favor, the money might even be forgiven. But in all, one of these things was going to happen today and I pray my dead body won't be drawn out of the industrial looking premises. As I stood looking around, I got a nudge behind from one of the men. "Move!" He barked at me and like a crippled roach revealed by a light from a handheld torch. I had to put both of my feet to good use. One of the men walked in front, leading the way, while two others walked behind me. "Stop." A baritone voice from a guard stationed at the gate yelled at us. "She's going to go in blindfolded." He read out a rehearsed instruct

    The silence at the dinning table felt excruciating and painful. I forced most of the mashed potatoes down my throat and swallowed hurriedly each time, unable to feel the taste of the meal. When the silence became too unbearable, I shifted my meal and turned to my parents. "Let's hear it, what's the problem?" "Eat Ugo." My father said, tapping me gently on the arm. "I'm full, and even if I'm not, I can't take more. I've lost my appetite. What's going on, what's with the silence and brooding, did someone die?" My mother was the first to shake her head. "We didn't lose anyone. But we might as well loose someone if we don't find a solution." She said, "Ada..." My father called in his usual peace-loving manner. "Ugo is not a child, honey. The earlier we start taking....the better." "Please talk to me... anyone. Dad, Mom." "Honey, it's nothing serious....." "Your father was accused of stealing from his company." My mom interrupted. "What?" I looked at my father, hoping he would as

    UGO I took in the orderliness of the little room that had always served as my safe space for the longest time. All my childhood memories were still intact, almost as I had left them. My mother had taken it upon herself to preserve all the good memories, making sure not to alter the shape of the room and the position of things as I left them. I tried recalling the last time I visited Lilycity. It's been well over two years. Fairview had found a way to draw me into its tight grasp and sapped me off all my free time. I sighed, recalling my mother's tears at the airport when she came to pick me up. I was initially skeptical that she would be the one to pick me up, but then she somehow managed to convince me with my father's support that she has recovered perfectly since her intestinal surgery. "Poor woman." I murmured regrettably. Pulling my hair into a tight bun, I sat down on the only chair in my room, took in the beauty of the modest-looking room and smiled. What my room lacked in
