CHAPTER 11

Daisy's POVI saw mom and then dad. They were smiling at me. Their mouths were moving but I couldn't hear them."Mom?" I called, realizing how much I missed seeing her beautiful face. She doesn't look at all like aunt Vanessa. Aunt Vanessa looked more like a black American."Dad?" I called, relishing the moment we both spent together. The reality of dad's death was dawning on me more than ever and it was having a toll on me. "Dad?" I called again, stretching my hand as I howled in pain.I was in severe pain. I was feeling pain all over the world. Then I began to cry. I facepalmed myself as I cried. When I removed my hand to clean up my tears, they were gone."Mom? Dad?" I called again, looking all around, the surroundings were cold, with fogs all over. I shuddered in fear when I realized I was alone.I was in pain again. But this time, it was the pain of being an orphan. The pain of my fate. The pain of my situation. The pain of everything th

CHAPTER 12

Nina's POVI was beginning to see a similarity in my story and that of Daisy's. We were both at a young age when the responsibility of a mother fell upon our shoulders. We were left to birth and train up the child with the father nowhere to be found. "Why do women have to suffer the pain alone when the pleasure was between two genders?The only difference between Daisy's story and mine was that Amar and I were in love. It was love at first sight. The sexual tension was obvious. I became restless the moment I entered the conference room and I saw him. He was too. The chemistry was obvious to almost everyone in the room. We spent the night in the hotel close to where the program was held. It was a construction work program and my father's friend was the chief host. I convinced my dad to let me attend so I could have an understanding of how it works. I told him I wanted to use the experience for the book I was writing and he allowed me.I

CHAPTER 13

Daisy's POVThe first two months I spent living with Nina was amazing. Nina got me a new phone when I told her I left my phone in New York.I tried calling her grandmother Nina but she wouldn't let me. She said she isn't old enough to be a grandmother. On Maria's birthday, I cried the moment I woke up. I missed her badly and I wondered how she was faring. I knew she would be dead worried about me. I loved and I missed her, notwithstanding her craziness.I remembered I went along to Las Vegas with the two books she gave me and I quickly went to get them.My baby bump was bigger and I still had less than four months to go. Nina said we would go shopping for the baby things and also decorate the nursery the following month. Anytime Nina was out, I always chatted with Nadia, the house help. She was my best friend and she was already anticipating my birth. Nadia was an African-American and I told her my mother was a black woman and was probably from

CHAPTER 14

Daisy's POVNina and I went shopping for the baby. We bought all that was needed and what to use in decorating the nursery. Almost all the things we bought were pink in color. Nina said she had an instinct that it was going to be a girl.We decorated the nursery with Nadia and I couldn't help but cry. It was tears of joy. I was happy for the care Nina and Nadia were showering on my unborn baby. After we bought the things we needed, I pulled out my credit card to pay, even though I wasn't sure if my money was going to be enough but Nina wouldn't allow me to pay. She was indeed God-sent.I told Nina about my dreams to become a great writer like her someday and she encouraged me to try my hand at my first book.I read one of Nina's books in New York titled STIGMA and I fell in love with it. I never knew I was going to meet the writer of that book someday. Nina had been my role model and the thought of it was motivating me.I began my first book without informing

CHAPTER 15

Daisy's POV"Baby", Nina called as I quickly let my hair down, brushing it."Yes, mom. I'm coming", I replied and wore my heels, took a hold of my handbag, and went out of the room."We are going to be late", she said when I got downstairs."Sorry, mom", I apologized, pulling my skirt down to give room for my belly."Are you comfortable in that dress?" She asked, peering at me."It's ok, mom. Let's go", I said with a smile and flung my bag into my hand.The dress I was wearing was part of those Nina shopped for me, three months after I was discharged from the hospital. It was one of my favorites. I barely went out and that was the first time I wore the dress because it was an important occasion.Nina asked me to follow her to the office to meet her editor and one publishing company coming to sign a contract for one of her books. I was anxious because I didn't know what was expected of me over there. I still hadn't told Nina that I was halfway

CHAPTER 16

"But that can only be possible if he truly loved you as he claimed. He will never let go of everything just because of a baby when he doesn't love you", I emphasized, wanting to keep the conversation going and she looked at me before nodding with a smile.I still did not want to agree that her story was worse than mine. "But why will he say he would have let go if you had told him? Must a baby be the only reason to let go of every other thing? Why didn't he let go of that woman if he truly loved you?"She didn't answer. There was a smug smile on her face. I would see the sadness laced there. I felt bad for digging up the past because it was obvious she was still hurting."Who would have known what would have happened if you had told him on time? That would have proved his love for you." Nina uttered."I didn't want to tie any man down with my pregnancy." I opposed it."That is what you don't get, Daisy. Gone are those days. We all have our lives to live and

CHAPTER 17

Nina's POVWe would like to sign a contract with you just like I stated in my mail to you. Our company is really intrigued by your new book titled "The Doctrines" and we are here with the contract for you to go through and sign. In the contract, all the benefits you will enjoy when we publish the book for you are stated there and the designs of your book cover as well as editing are inclusive." Mr. Gonzalez finished, stretching the contract to Stella, my secretary. She came in late and I was really mad at her. I sent her a message the night before for us to meet in the office. It was unlike her but I couldn't help the anger I was feeling. I felt going to a meeting with a client without my secretary would look so unprofessional.We got talking Immediately after introducing Daisy to them as my daughter. I could see the looks on their faces. They were from the Philippines and I signed my first book with them. We knew each other from day one of my career as a writer

CHAPTER 18

Nina's POVMy first birthday with Daisy was a bit different from those of the previous years. First, neither Damien nor Amar was the first person to wish me a happy birthday. Then, Daisy insisted that we celebrate it in a big way, despite my protest. After much argument, I gave in but with a condition. Our guests were to be limited to my office colleagues, that was my condition.I knew celebrating my birthday in a big way will lead to something I would no longer be able to control. I guessed that was my fear and reason for keeping a low profile. Papparazis would be in attendance and virtually all information about my private life would be gathered and disseminated to the world before the next day.I loved my privacy but I couldn't imagine what would happen if news got to the world that Nina Gomez was a single mother who got pregnant out of wedlock for an Indian. Such news can ruin my reputation, the reputation I have been building for years, to prove my father wron

CHAPTER 19

Daisy's POVA day before Nina's birthday, Nadia and I went out to get her a present. I didn't know what to get her because I felt she had all she wanted. It took me a great deal of time to decide on what to buy for her. I got her a limited edition of Glossier's The Gold set. It was a 14 karat plated gold and it adds shimmer to any outfit. I fell in love with the necklace and I was tempted to buy one for myself but it cost a fortune and my savings were already gone. Nina deserved it.My book was completed already and Larry had gone through my book, pointing out a few things to be corrected. We met five times during the first week of the month. He was a great editor. He also changed the title for me to a catchy and attention-grabbing one. He edited my synopsis and the whole outline before I sent it to Mr. Gonzalez's email. After he was done with the editing, he gave me the manuscript and I sent Mr. Gonzalez a message, telling him that I was r

CHAPTER 20

"I guess we've missed a lot", Larry said as we ventured into the living room. We saw the cake being shared amongst the guests by Nadia."Yeah", I replied absent-mindedly. I was feeling tired all of a sudden."You look tired. You should rest." He suggested."Yes. I guess we would call it a night then", I told him and was about to leave them in the living room when he called me back."Daisy, I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable.""It's not you. The party preparation has worn me out. I've been awake since the break of dawn."Alright. Continue being strong", he squeezed my hand in assurance and I nodded. He pecked my cheeks.I was about to leave his presence when Nina showed up."Daisy, Larry, where have you two been to?" She eyed Larry, who was with a mischievous smile on his face."I took your daughter on a date", he told her."Is that true, Daisy?" Nina demanded from me.I didn't know if she fell for Larry's jokes or not as her
