Chapter 41**Esmeralda's POV**A breathy sigh escapes my mouth at his gentle touch and I unconsciously lean my face forward and close my eyes. His gentle hands disappear a second later and my body mourns the loss of his warmth.What am I saying? This is not me. Why am I acting like this? He's my boss for God's sake!He obviously thinks I'm someone else, which I'm definitely not but why am I not protesting for him to not touch me?I just broke up with Jack so I can't say it's because i'm starved of affection.I open my eyes and look up to see his face revealing nothing. "Good morning Miss. Griffin" He picks up his briefcase and turns to go into his office.I nod shakily because I'm pretty sure I won't be able to form words if I open my mouth.Is this how every day will be like?Immediately his door closes, I collapse in my chair then take a deep breath. Who is this Daisy? Why is he mistaking me for her? And why am I liking his touch?I shake my head, I seriously can't be thinking abo

Chapter 42

Chapter 42Hunter's POVI can't believe this. After all these years, I'm going to see her again. She really isn't dead.I pull up outside the restaurant where I'm meeting with the private investigator and Mr Heart. I hope Mr. Heart is feeling alright this week. He took the news of Daisy's death very hard and he has heart conditions. As I enter the restaurant, the waitress recognises me and points me to the table where Mike the private investigator was sitting. I walk towards the table and as I take my seat, my father and Mr Heart arrive.We all wait for Mike to speak and I feel my patience running out when he doesn't say anything. "Where is she?" I ask impatiently."The thing is I haven't really found her..." I spring up from my seat in anger before he can complete the sentence."But I finally have a lead. This is better than the fruitless clues we've been having for years" he pauses so we can process his words and I sit down again.I nod at him to continue talking and he does."As

Chapter 43**Esmeralda's POV**Mr Stone freezes after I ask the question. The dazed part of me wants to ask why he's hesitating but the sane part of me that has decided to be as professional as possible keeps screaming at me to move away. "What did you just call me?" He asks looking extremely puzzled.What did I call him? I then remember that I said Hunter instead of Mr. Stone. Way to go Esme, what a way to get fired. Calling your boss by his first name."I'm sorry Mr Stone, I didn't mean to...." "No, I mean how did you know that my first name is Hunter?" He asks looking suspicious.Does he think I'm a spy from another company?"I'm really sorry" I apologize again."How. Did. You. Know?" He asks again his teeth gritting."I heard it from that girl that mistook me for Sunflower or Daisy or whatever her name is on the day of my interview" I answer not understanding his sudden curiosity about where I got his name from."Which girl?" He enquires again."Your girlfriend. The one that wa

Chapter 44

Chapter 44Hunter's POVI pause in signing the documents I'm currently working on when I hear a commotion going on outside. I wait for a few minutes and when the noise doesn't subside, I stand up to find out what's going on.Those people making such ruckus better have a damn good excuse.When I step out of the office into the corridor leading to the elevator, I see Blake and Tyler staring in shock at Miss Griffin.Oh God, not this again. "Where have you been all these years?" Blake asks."We've searched for you everywhere!" Tyler adds."This Daisy girl again? For the last time, I am not Daisy!" Miss Griffin says sounding frustrated.I quickly step forward before things get out of hand."Blake, Tyler, she isn't Daisy. Meet Miss Griffin my personal assistant. Miss Griffin, meet Doctor Blake the CEO of the Denovan's group of hospitals and medical schools and Tyler the CEO of the Grant's shipping company" I say; trying to make the introductions."Miss Griffin?...but...Daisy....I thought

Chapter 45

Chapter 45Esmeralda's POVI stomp my feet in anger as I walk to the front of the humongous building to hail a cab. I really needed to fix my car soon. I didn't wait for long before a taxi stopped to pick me up. I describe my address and the driver nods before going back to ignoring me. When I get to my two bedroom apartment. I throw my bag on my couch with a little too much force. I blame asshole Blake for putting me in a bad mood. I go into my bedroom and change into a casual outfit before moving to the kitchen to microwave dinner for myself.While waiting, I decide to search up who the infamous Daisy everyone is mistaking me for is. I type 'Daisy and Hunter Stone' into the computer since I didn't know her last name. The computer loaded various articles, gossip blogs and pictures. I click on the first article with the heading "Heiress of the Heart group of hotels gone missing".The article was about how Daisy was supposedly kidnapped and murdered. This led to the terrible health co

Chapter 46

Chapter 46Esmeralda's POV"Mr Stone?" I call out into the phone."You can't be dead, you just can't be" he sobs gut wrenchingly and my heart clench in worry.I notice the drawl in his voice and guess that he was probably drunk."Mr Stone, where are you?" I ask trying to sound calm."Tell me you're alive and you still love me. Tell me you don't hate me." he groans from the other side."Tell me Daisy" the pain in his shaking voice was so real that I felt it to my bones. I can't even start to imagine what he was going through right now."I'm alive" I say trying to ease his pain even though I'm not Daisy."Tell me you love me Daisy" he mutters."I l-love you Hunter" I say closing my eyes at the absurdness of it all.I had never told any guy I loved him except my father and brother, not even Jack. Saying it so casually is........I don't even have a description for how it feels."I love you so much Daisy" he says with his voice drifting off. My heart skips even though I know his words were

Chapter 47

Chapter 47Esmeralda's POVHe closes the door after me when I enter his office before opening another door and walking inside. I follow him and notice that it's a bathroom; a very fancy one.He gestures for me to sit on the closed toilet seat and I mechanically do so. He then opens a box on the counter and takes out something I can’t see before turning to face me making my heart go into overdrive.He crouches in front of me making his eyes level with mine and he just stares into them for a while before dragging his eyes down to the wound. The blood there was already drying up.He grabs my wrist to view my finger at a better angle and all my nerves start to tingle. He dabs the wool in something but I was just too distracted to look at the stuff. He then guides me up and makes me wash the blood off before making me sit back down and using the damp wool to clean the surface of the wound.I bite my lower lip hard to prevent me from screaming because of the sting. I have zero pain toleranc

Chapter 48

Chapter 48Esmeralda's POV“Mr. Stone, is this your new girlfriend?”“Mr. Stone, what do you have to say about Ever-fresh’s shade to your company in their new advert?”“Mr. Stone, who is this young woman?” He doesn’t answer any questions as his bodyguards pave way for us to pass through. His thumb continues its slow seduction and it takes all my willpower not to let out a soft moan.Have some self control, you idiot.“You only have to interact with people for the first half of it, by the time it gets to the second half, everyone will either be too drunk or too tired to socialize with new people” He says and I nod just as we step into the big hall.I loop my arms around his arm and we walk into the party. People start approaching him and his expressionless face slips on as we move further into the room. He stops occasionally to talk with some people before we continue moving around.My eyes widen when I see Jack on the other side of the room talking to a tall man with grey hair. Fortu

Chapter 49

Chapter 49Esmeralda's POVJack reluctantly steps back since the request was more like an order. He then looks back and forth between Mr. Stone and I for a few seconds before walking off.I take Mr. Stone’s hand and I collapse into his chest in relief as he pulls me close. “Are you okay?” He asks tilting my head up like Jack did but his touch is different and I get captivated in his hazel eyes.“Yeah, I’m just…” I trail off with a soft sigh as his thumb wipes the tear under my eye.“What the hell did he do to you?” He asks his hold tightening around me.“He’s just a jerk I used to know, nothing more” I say burying my face into his chest because I can’t help myself; he strangely makes me feel safe.His palms moves soothingly on my back but as it soothes, it also lights up a fire in me; the kind of fire that has never burnt for any man before.I move my hands from his shoulders and loop it around his neck.I'm only getting closer to him because we're dancing. That's what people do when

Chapter 50

Chapter 50Esmeralda's POVWhat was I thinking? Of course, he thinks I’m Daisy.He has probably even had a few drinks. Damn, I’m so stupid.I pull back from the kiss and his confused eyes stare into my almost teary ones before realization dawns on him.“Esmeralda, wait! That’s not what I…Goddammit” He swears but I’m already on my heels as I disappear around the corner before he can see me cry.‘What the hell were you thinking, stupid?’ My sub conscious adds to the recrimination going on in my head.With shaky hands, I bring out my phone from my purse and dial Keesha’s number.“Come get me, please” I say.“Baby, what’s wrong? Don't answer that, I’m on my way. It’s the Stone’s hall right?” She asks.“Yeah, thanks” I croak out before she hangs up.Ten minutes later, she calls me to tell me she’s around and I move out of the ladies’ restroom I’ve been hiding in with my head bowed.Fortunately, I make it to the entrance successfully without running into Jack, Hunter or anybody else I might
