"I can't stay here. It's so suffocating". Daisy muttered as she sniffed and wiped her nose.
She exited the building all the way down to the parking lot where her car was. As she entered her car, she hesitated for about 5 minutes as she was trying to catch her breath. She was finally able to before she drove off."Lucius, what are we going to do? What if your wife doesn't agree to sign the divorce paper? What will happen then?". Annabelle's eyes were teary as she questioned. "I blame myself. If only I didn't reject your proposal to me 2 years ago, then it would have been me married to you now". She admitted."I told you not to blame yourself, Annabelle. It's going to annoy me for real. I've told you to stop blaming yourself". Lucius said.He went ahead and sat on his office seat, while Annabelle's eyes never left his side.Lucius massaged his temple and said, "Don't worry about Daisy. She's a softhearted person. She's probably going through a breakdown now because of the news. I'll bring up the divorce paper to her again when I return to the mansion"."Phew". Annabelle sighed deeply and said, "In that case, I'm not worried anymore. And thanks Lucius, for accepting me back"..Daisy arrived at the mansion. Her face was all sweaty since she had been crying while she drove.She didn't respond to the greetings of the servants and just walked inside the mansion straight to her and Lucius's bedroom.She sat on the bed, didn't move nor say anything. She was just staring blankly at everything as if all hope had been lost.Although Daisy's eyes were still teary, she suddenly smiled and muttered the word, "Love?". She stopped smiling and said, "Lucius said I could never have his love. I'll never forget this. How can he do this to me? Our first meeting was at the bar, and he said he loved me. Was he drunk when he confessed to me then? I doubt that. We even dated for a month before we got married. How can he do this to me now? I've endured 2 years of one sided love because I thought that he'd finally love me back again just like our first meeting. But turns out I was just a replacement wife".Daisy couldn't help it and cried out bitterly while she clenched her shirt and was hitting her chest roughly. She suddenly stopped her action when he remembered that she could hurt her little one in her stomach.Daisy gently rubs her stomach as she finally stops sobbing. She said, "I'm so sorry, sister and father. I should have listened to you when you said Lucius wasn't the right husband for me. I was just so ignorant and blinded by love that I couldn't see it myself".She stood up on her feet as her mind was already made up. "I can't continue with this anymore. Even though I can't return back to Dad's mansion because I'm ashamed of myself, I won't let this breakdown bring me down. I'll eventually be a lady everyone loves". Daisy declared to herself before she stared at her flat stomach and said with a soft voice, "Don't worry, my little baby. Your father may abandon me, but I'll never let you go. I'll give birth to you, take care of you and love you with my whole heart".There was total silence afterwards since Daisy didn't talk anymore. She located her wardrobe and packed her belongings. The servants of the mansion weren't aware that Daisy was leaving for real, so they didn't try to stop her.As Daisy made it outside the mansion, she muttered, "I hope never to remember this mansion again, the memories are depressing". With this, she left.Hours passed and it was already evening. Lucius returned to the mansion. He went to his bedroom, expecting to meet Daisy there waiting for him since it's always what she'd do. But as he got in, there was no sign of Daisy which left him puzzled.Lucius doesn't always return home, but he did today since he planned to persuade Daisy to sign the divorce paper.Something didn't feel right to Lucius since it was unlike Daisy not to be here waiting for him. The door to Daisy's personal wardrobe was slightly opened. Lucius was curious and so he went ahead to completely open the wardrobe.He saw that all of Daisy's clothes were missing.Lucius' eyes widened. He clenched his hand and he said, "Did she run away knowing that I can't get married to Annabelle if I don't divorce her? How daring".Lucius couldn't accept the fact that Daisy had run away. There was only one place that came to Lucius's mind when he had a thought of where Daisy could possibly go. And that place was, Mr Diego's mansion.To confirm his thought, he left his room and went to his car parked outside. He entered it and drove out speedily through the silver gate his security guard opened for him.Lucius' driving was so rough that it almost attracted the police's attention.Lucius was finally at Mr Diego's mansion, but the security guard that stood by the gate didn't agree to open the gate for him to drive into the mansion premises."I apologise, Mr Lucius. But the second young miss of this mansion ordered me never to let you in except you've come with her sister".Lucius massaged his temple in defeat. Before he left, he demanded to know from the security guard whether Daisy came to the mansion, but the security guard honestly told him that the first young miss, Daisy, didn't come.It has been more than 10 minutes since Lucius's car drove away when Dahlia's car showed up and stopped at the exact spot Lucius's car was before.Dahlia waited for the security to open the gate for her car before she drove inside the mansion premises."Second young miss".Dahlia paused driving when she heard the security guard call to her. She already had an idea of what he might say to her since she ordered him to only stop her urgently if he had an important message about her sister, Daisy, to report.She rolled down the front seat window so she'd be able to listen to the security guard.The security guard told Dahlia everything that happened a while ago."So he came all the way here to ask if Daisy came here?". Dahlia asked the security guard and he nodded his head at her. "Thanks for the information, I'll reward you later. You may go now". Dahlia notified him and drove off.She stepped down from the car and entered the mansion in front of her. She went to her bedroom and removed her shoes as she got in.She went and laid on her bed. Staring at the ceiling, she said, "This is fishy. Daisy hasn't visited the mansion for two years. What makes Lucius think she'd visit now?".Her eyes widened and she sat up on her bed. "Did something happen between Daisy and Lucius? I knew this day would come! I clearly told my sister Lucius isn't the perfect husband for her but she didn't listen to me". Dahlia was panicking.She wasn't at ease sitting on the bed, so she came down from it and was pacing back and forth with different thoughts inside her mind.'Damn it. Father will return tomorrow evening and I can't visit Lucius's mansion by myself now to see if everything is alright over there. I haven't seen Daisy for 2 years, it'd be awkward to just visit now'. Dahlia thought.Throughout the night, Dahlia couldn't fall asleep since it was hard to. She was still thinking about what happened to Daisy that made Lucius visit the mansion.She didn't sleep until after 1am in the morning. And at 6:30 am sharp, she woke up, changed out of her night wear and wore a black trouser, with a white singlet that was underneath the black matching suit she wore. Dahlia collected her cellphone from the table by her bedside. She didn't care anymore and called Daisy's number. The call went through eventually but no one was answering it. After many trials, Dahlia finally gave up and hurriedly came out of her room. She descended the stairs. "Young Miss, you're surprisingly up early today. Wait, let me prepare breakfast for you before you leave. You can't go on an empty stomach". Ms Rousey said immediately she saw Dahlia walking towards the living room exit door of the mansion."Don't worry, Ms Rousey. I'll be back before you even know it. I got something important to confirm".
Dahlia returned home with a gloomy and sad face because she didn't get revenge on Lucius for what he did to Daisy. Actually, what she was mostly sad about was because she didn't slap Annabelle's cheek. Dahlia was able to clearly remember the wicked grinning of Annabelle, and she totally understands that Annabelle was a wolf in sheep clothings. "Young Miss, thank goodness you've returned. You're just in time for breakfast. I'll have the maids serve your food now". Ms Rousey said with a smile. She stopped smiling as she saw Dahlia staring back at her with teary eyes. "Young Miss, did I say anything that upset you?". Ms Rousey softly asked. Although Dahlia's eyes were teary, she smiled at Ms Rousey and assured her, "You didn't upset me, Ms Rousey. And I'll probably need some time alone. You can just delay my breakfast". Ms. Rousey simply nodded her head as she didn't want to bother Dahlia and ask her more questions. She watched as Dahlia left her side and climbed the stairs. 'Whatev
"She has my love, Daisy. Something you could never have". These words kept repeating in Daisy's dream. "No. No. I…. I hate you!". Daisy declared and soon her eyes opened. Her neck was sweaty and her throat was dry. She lazily sat up on her bed before she took the glass filled with water by the table and drank it. After that, she stood up and went to stand in front of her giant mirror. She questioned herself, "It has been six years now, since that day. Why can't I forget it already?".She pointed her index finger out and touched the mirror with it. "You're a different Daisy now. You must forget the past". She muttered. Daisy's face reflection in the mirror was more beautiful than ever. Her pointed nose, which was in a perfect shape. Her round face, which was much slimmer compared to before. Her almond shaped eyes with full eyelashes. Even her blue eye colour seemed to have gotten darker. Her natural heart shaped lips were sexier than ever. Her brown hair that was slightly passing h
"Hurry kids. This is really urgent to me". Daisy said. She already packed Alexander, Jack and Henry's clothes, also with hers. Though Henry insisted on bringing his toys along, Daisy didn't let him do so and promised to buy new toys for him when they arrived in California.Now they were finally done packing. Daisy dragged the suitcase with her outside the house. She returned back and locked the door before returning back to where the suitcase was. "Let's go Mom". Jack said. "Right". Daisy replied and dragged the suitcase with her while following her kids that were in front of her.Daisy hailed a cab and they all entered."Please hurry to the airport". She informed the cab driver.Now the airport wasn't that far from Daisy's house. They arrived there 15 minutes later. "Have a nice day". The cab driver said and drove away after he collected his payment.Daisy led her kids inside the airport. They were still walking when Alexander questioned, "But Mom. Did you make a flight appointme
"Now, all of you, get out of my sight". Daisy ordered. The shareholders didn't want to remain in the meeting room with someone as intimidating as Daisy, so they obeyed and left. All their faces were all frowning in disappointment. If only Daisy didn't arrive in time and they voted, then, they might have actually succeeded in dismissing Daisy as the company's chairman for good. "Mommy, that was cool!. I mean to say, "you are cool". Jack exclaimed. Alexander and Henry were stunned to speak because Daisy mostly smiled at them whenever she took care of them. They never expected to see this intimidating side of her. Daisy chuckled. "Hope I didn't scare you kids?". She questions even after knowing that her babies are tough ones. "Of course not, mom. You were amazing". Alexander admitted while Henry nodded his head at Daisy as he supported what Alexander said. Daisy sighed in relief after listening to Alexander's reply plus Henry's positive nodding of his head. She faced Sasha who was s
"Yes, it's me. I'm back, little sister". Daisy announced and that second, Dahlia rushed to hug her. Staring at Dahlia in disbelief, Jack asked Alexander and Henry, "Mommy had a sister? Since when and why didn't we know about it?". "I guess this is the surprise mommy talked about". Alexander replied before he continued to stare at Daisy and her sister hugging. Dahlia finally let go of hugging Daisy. Her blue eyes were sparkling in joy and at the same time, teary. "Ouch". Daisy reacted when Dahlia hit her on her right arm. "You deserve this, big sister. How did you bear to run away without taking me with you?. Did you know that I've been searching for you ever since? Tell me, where did you run off to?". Dahlia said and demanded an answer from Daisy."I'm really sorry, little sister. The truth is, I was in Las Vegas the whole time". Daisy admitted, causing Dahlia to continue to stare at her in disbelief. "Las Vegas?". Dahlia muttered before she went ahead and held Daisy's both shou
Dahlia's car already drove inside the mansion premises and she parked it close to the gardens area before they all came down from it. They headed for the mansion in front of them and entered through the brown door. They were already inside the living room when Jack questioned Daisy, "Mom, you know it's still our birthday today, right?". "Right. I almost forgot again". Daisy petted his head and said. "It's your kids' birthday today? How old are they?". Dahlia asked. Though she wasn't that curious to know since she already has an idea that they'd be five years old. "They're five years old, Dahlia". Daisy replied. She smiled at Alexander, Jack and Henry and asked them what they wanted as birthday gifts. "Laptop". Alexander simply answered, causing Daisy to laugh out pretty hard while holding her stomach. Daisy said to Alexander, "No matter how smart you're, Alexander, you're too young to have a laptop. What do you want to do with that?". She stopped laughing when she saw Alexander s
Daisy dragged her suitcase by herself inside her bedroom even though the maids offered to do that for her. She left the suitcase at the side of the wardrobe and went ahead and laid back flat on the bed before she sighed deeply. "Oh California, California. I never imagined my return would be like this". Daisy muttered to herself. She remained laying on the bed for some minutes when she then rose up and stood up on her feet as she felt her stomach growling really roughly. "Gosh, I'm starving here. When will the food be ready?". Daisy said to herself. It didn't reach up to 5 seconds Daisy said and she heard a knock on her bedroom door. Daisy went ahead to open the door and was glad when she saw that it was Ms. Rousey and two other young maids, plus, they were already here with her food. "Thanks, Ms. Rousey. I had no idea that you'd bring my food to me in my room". Daisy said and let them in her room.She watched the maids enter her room and kept the plates on her bed before they le
