Chapter 6 I will destroy you

Daisy Pov

“You are the devil. I cannot believe that I have been in love with you for such a long time. I am such a fool. How did I protect such an ingrate like you?” I said, my voice suddenly filled with Venom. My eyes must have glowed with anger because Sophie staggered back, and I folded my fist.

“I can't stand the sight of both of you. I wish to the moon goddess that you have a fun night. I am so out of here.” I said, grabbing my phone and car keys. I stormed out of the house and entered my car.

Without thinking twice, I drove to my Father's house. I walked into the house and my mom saw me. “Daisy. What happened to you? Why do you look so disheveled?” Mom asked as soon as she set eyes on me. Father stared at me from the rim of his glasses.

“Robert… Robert has been having an affair with Sophie behind my back. And I just discovered it today. I also discovered that he has a child with Sophie, and that child is Kenneth, my adopted son.” I said emotionlessly.

“What! I'm going to mess that fucker up.” Nathan said as he stepped out of the room. Nathan looked so pissed. I smiled a bit because I remembered that my Stepbrother and my Mom would protect me. I turned to Father and Knelt in front of him. “Father. Please help me. I have signed over all of my inheritance to him. I have nowhere else to turn to.” I said as I bowed my head.

“For some reason, I never liked that boy. And look at where your choice of men has led you to. You could have chosen Kerian or Jackson. But you picked a boy from a middle-class family, a nobody. You have failed me again.” He said.

“That's not what you should be saying to her right now, Dad. Robert has played her and robbed her. As her family, it is our duty to help protect her and help fight against him.” Nathan said.

“Exactly, Darling. Nathan is right. Daisy is your child, you cannot just throw her under the bus.” Mother begged.

“I have made my decision. She will handle this on her own. I will not interfere. She failed to protect herself, her marriage, and her inheritance. She'll fight it by herself. I will not involve myself to avoid being stained by her shame.” Father said and entered inside, leaving me seated there on the floor.

“I'll go talk to him,” Nathan said and followed him.

“What am I going to do, Mum? I'm fucked.” I said, and Mom clutched me while hugging me.

“You're going to be fine. You're going to be okay.” She said as she patted my hair.

“I'm going to drive to the hotel I booked. Should, in case you need to find me, I'll be there.” I told her and she nodded.

“Will you be okay?” Nathan asked and I shook my head.

“No. But I'll try to put myself together. It's the only thing I can do.” I said and walked out of the house.

I drove back to the hotel I had reserved for my anniversary and checked in. I ordered some wine and drank my anger away. I was so hurt, so angry at the betrayal. How could Robert do this to me? Take away the joy of becoming a mother from me, just for his personal selfish interest. How can a person be so selfish and evil? I drank directly from the bottle. And my Father had abandoned me too. Why was I constantly being abandoned by the people I loved?

Suddenly, rain began to fall. I sat beside the window and cried. I cried for my child that I was robbed off, I cried for the child I had treated as my own for months. I cried for myself because I had been stupid in loving a bastard like him. He wasn't worthy of it. He wasn't worthy of my sacrifices. I cried because my Father had officially abandoned me. He wanted no part of me and wasn't even ready to fight for me or protect me.

I staggered up drunkenly and walked out of my hotel room, a bottle in my hand. I found myself in the arms of a stranger. I looked at him and smiled a bit. “Hello, handsome. Please Fuck my misery away from me, will you? I'll pay you any amount you want.” I said and then passed out.

I woke up in bed the next morning and looked around the suite. I sat up, wiping my eyes clearly. My clothes were…. I covered my mouth and gasped in horror.  My clothes were on the floor and I struggled to remember the events of the past night. This was definitely not my suite room. I looked around the room and noticed that on one of the tables, there was a letter and some cash in an envelope. 

“I hope you wake up feeling better. This was a one-night stand. The cash is for you to keep your mouth shut. I hope we never cross paths again.” The letter said, and I gasped again.

What the fuck had I just done?

Hurriedly I dressed up, clutched the letter and the money In my hand, and headed for the door. I picked up my phone and saw that Nathan sent a message. He would help me pick a Divorce consent form and come drive me home. I was happy that at least I would be able to leave here soon and go back home and try to figure out what happened. I opened the door and walked out, hoping to meet Nathan waiting for me at the door of the hotel. 

Instead, I saw Reporters with flashing cameras waiting for me at the door. “Miss Daisy, we received word that you were with a man here last night. How true is that?” A reporter asked. How the hell did they find out I was here?

I clutched my purse hard and tried walking out of there when someone pulled my scarf to reveal a hickey I had gotten as a result of the one-night stand of last night. I turned and saw that it was Sophie. 

“It's true. Look at the proof. What is a married woman doing coming out of a hotel, without her husband, with a hickey on her neck? You are a cheating slut, and you don't deserve to be the face of married women here!” She spat. I stared at her full in the face. And then I slapped her.

“Don't you dare open your mouth to call me a slut again. You vile backstabber.” I said coldly. I turned to the press. “My husband and I are getting a divorce. Details will come much later.” I said and walked through the press.

“Mr. Robert is divorcing her because she is a whore that doesn't know how to keep her legs closed. She can't admit it here because she is ashamed. But isn't she more shameless to walk out of a hotel with a hickey? She's a disgrace to women!” Sophie said loudly. I turned to stare at her, but then Nathan held me back from going to fight her.

“Come, let's go. She is not worth embarrassing yourself outside.” He said, and we walked to where he had his car parked.

“Is the divorce as a result of your cheating accusation? You have only been married two years. How come the blissful marriage is coming to an end?”  “Please explain the hickey on your neck.” 

Reporters flooded us with questions. Nathan and I said nothing and he drove off.

I walked into the empty study where Robert usually stayed to work. I looked around it one last time and then sighed. This was truly the end. I dropped the Envelope with the divorce papers and also the necklace that had fallen off his neck 10 years ago when I had saved him. I put my hand in my coat. Nathan had packed my bags for me. I walked into the living room, and stared at the house that had once been a place of bliss and joy. I wiped my tears and with that, I left the house.

End of Flashback.

And that is how I got here. Five years down the lane, I am 26 years old now with Children. That resulted from the one-night stand of 5 years ago. I sighed in slight bliss as I hovered around my kids.

“Mummy, are we going to see Uncle Nathan?” Janice asked and I nodded.

“Yes, Baby. Uncle Nathan would be extremely glad to see all of you.” I said as I rubbed her hair. We were back in the city of Arizona because my mother had been hospitalized, and she needed me. I sighed sadly. Suddenly, something or someone grabbed my butt.

In anger, I wheeled around and slapped him hard in the face. It was a tall man, with a mysterious aura and deep amber-green eyes.

The people around us gasped, and I glared at him. He had an assistant beside him. He seemed like an important entity, but I care at this point. All I wanted was to show this pervert that he couldn't touch just anybody and go scot-free.

“Did you just slap me?” He asked, his voice dripping with Coldness and intense authority, so towering and immense that I flinched slightly. But I wasn't going to let a pervert one up.

I stepped in front of him and stood with my hands akimbo. “And I'll do it again, you silly perverted bastard!” I said boldly. I stared deep into his eyes and almost got lost in their seeming familiarity. 

“What if we check, and it turns out I'm not the one who touched your butt?” He asked, his fierce eyes glaring deep at me, but I'm not going to be intimidated by that. There's no one else close to me here, so I was sure he's the one.

“Yes, let's go ahead and check.” I fold my arms across my chest, jolting my chin at him.

Together, we went into the airport, and he demanded for the CCTV camera, without questioning, he was attended to as if he's their boss here and the way people bowed and shivered at his presence made it look like he's a god.

He wasn't the one that hit my butt. it was another person that was caught on camera, but he ran away and when I turned around this fierce-looking man happened to step in at that moment 

Suddenly, he grabbed me by the arms in a tight, painful manner that made a wail escape my throat, but I still managed to keep a straight face. 

“No woman has ever slapped me, and because you did this I'm going to destroy you.” He declared coldly for only me to hear.

His scent, his deep green eyes. All seemed Familiar.

Where do I know this man from?
