Five Years Too Late, Ex-husband!

Five Years Too Late, Ex-husband!

“I vow to never love you, Daisy , Not in sickness, and never in health.” Those were Sebastian’s words at our wedding, and I had foolishly believed I could make him fall in love with me. The day I told him I was pregnant, his cold eyes met mine, and he muttered, “Abort it.” But the moment his ex-lover returned, he followed her blindly. I watched, tears clouding my vision, as he twirled her in the middle of a lavish party he threw for her—on my birthday all the while proclaiming his love for her to the entire world while I stood there like a fool. My parents’ faces twisted in disgust as they looked at me. “How can you be so ungrateful, Daisy? We’ve given you everything for twenty-three years! Now we’ve found our biological daughter. She is the real heir, so let her take over the company. Don’t be selfish!” And just like that, they handed her the inheritance I had worked for all my life. Three years. Three years I devoted to Sebastian. I gave him my heart, my body, even a kidney when he was on the brink of death. And still, he abandoned me like trash. I fled that night, leaving behind our signed divorce papers and a fake abortion report. But five years later, I returned. But not as the woman they discarded, but as the most successful actress in the nation, with my twin children by my side. And now… they came back begging. “Daisy… we were blind. Please forgive us,” my parents whispered. “I was a fool,” Sebastian fell to his knees. “I made a mistake. Come back to me. I still love you.” I rolled my eyes, my voice icy. “You are five years too late, ex-husband.”

Chapter: Arrest The Innocent.
~ DAISY'S POV ~I take a deep breath, drawing the chilly air into my lungs. I tilt my chin up, opening my mouth to address the security guard and the doctor standing beside the bed.“Maybe you should check the time stamp on the IV line,” I say, trying to think of something else to say. “Check the room's access logs. She was in this room, probably twenty minutes ago before I got here and—”“You monster!”A sharp voice pieces from the doorway, cutting my words short.The crowd of nurses, including the guard and both doctors, parts down the middle. A woman pushes her way through them.When I look up to notice whoever it is, it is my mother, Victoria.Her coat is disheveled and her makeup is ruined by fresh tears. She stops dead in her tracks at the foot of the bed and her wide, red eyes drifts from my father's stiff, motionless body to the empty glass syringe resting on the floor.And then, she finally sets her eyes on me, standing pinned between two nursesShe gasps sharply as tears esc

Chapter: A Moment Of Truth.
~ DAISY'S POV ~I sprint through the sliding doors of the hospital, my snickers slamming against the floor. I do not slow down for a single second. I even skip the main desk, ignoring the surprised shouts of the nurses. I push straight into the emergency stairwell, taking the concrete stairs three at a time. My lungs burn like fire and my heart hammers against my ribs, each thud ringing inside my ears like an alarm bell. The room number of my father's wing dances behind my eyelids. All I can think of right now is the horrific image from the text message. My father gasping for air and the dark fluid in the needle alongside Vanessa’s devilish smile.I burst through the third-floor food and sprint down the long hallway and in no time, I hit the exact door of his room with my full weight, throwing it wide open.“Father,” I scream, the word tearing from my throat.Immediately I step inside, I freeze.The sound of the beeping heart monitor is completely gone. In its place, a long, contin

Chapter: Her Plot.
~ DAISY'S POV ~Now in my apartment and laying on the couch, I hold my phone tightly against my ear.“Ma'am, listen carefully,” the low and rough voice of my private investigator crackles through the speaker. “My team just finished crossing the records in Green pine valley.”“What did you find?” I ask, curious and eager to know his findings.“We found the local midwife’s old ledger,” he says, the sound of turning lashes rustling over the line. “Eight years ago, right around the time of that infamous cliff incident you talked about, a young woman walked into the valley. But the thing is, she did not use the main road as she came down through the thick woods at the base of the rocky ridge.”My heart beats faster against my ribs. “Did anyone see her face?”“A few villagers remember her very clearly,” he answers. “Though she wore a scarf over her head to hide her face, she could not hide her distinct features. Her description fits Vanessa's features. She looked exactly like a younger vers

Chapter: A Step Ahead Of Me.
~ DAISY'S POV ~Still sitting inside my car and staring at my phone screen… at the small red pin on the map glowing over the Green pine valley.The name burns into my mind. I mean, I remember the high, jagged rocks and the cold wind blowing off the cliffs at the Grand pine mountain resort eight years ago. That was the terrible night my whole life fell apart. That was the same night I took the fall when I was accused of pushing Vanessa off the cliff to her death.Now I somehow know the truth. Vanessa never fell. She probably ran down into that small village to hide her secret baby. My heart beats fast against my ribs because I'm still not sure. I need hard facts and I need real evidence before I strike back at Vanessa.I tap my screen and dial the usual private number.“Speak ma,” the rough voice of the man I want to hear cuts through the line. He is a quiet private investigator and the one of the most skilled I have… he's a man who tracks ghosts for a living and never asks unnecessar

Chapter: Green Pine Valley.
~ DAISY'S POV ~My heart beats so hard in my chest as the world around me feels like it is spinning completely out of control.How will someone give birth to a girl only for her to abandon the child the next day without looking back. I stare down at the small girl standing. She stares back at me with those big, innocent eyes. She does not know anything about the ugly secrets of this world and I'm sure she is not yet familiar with her mother. A wave of anger and sorrow washes over me. I feel like pulling off my sunglasses and crying for this poor child. That is so cruel of her mother. I look away from the child. Right now, I can't show any emotion so I take a deep, shaky breath and force my hands to stop trembling. I tighten my grip on my work tablet so the woman will not see my fingers shaking. I lift my chin up, put on my calm, professional mask again and land my gaze on the woman. “That is… a very sad story, ma'am,” I bit one end of my lips and folded it for a few seconds befor

Chapter: Letting The Rabbit Out.
~ DAISY'S POV ~The woman's face turns dark and red. She opens her mouth wide, probably ready to yell at me for asking such a personal question. But before a single angry word could burst out of her mouth, I let out a loud sigh. I shake my head sadly, lifting my hand up to cut her off before she can even speak.“I am so, so sorry to ask such a difficult question, ma'am,” I shake my head, my voice sounding soft and gentle. “I know it sounds very rude but you have to understand my position. The agency has extremely strict rules that every single worker must follow.”The woman stops, her mouth hanging open in mid air. She stares at me with narrow, suspicious eyes.“What kind of rules?” she asks, her voice returning back to that sharp tone and nervous rasp.I take a small step closer, holding my work tablet against my chest like a shield. I look right into her eyes, keeping my expression totally serious.“It is part of our official company rules to conduct a DNA test beforehand.” I expla
