Dear Ex, I Want Your Brother

Daisy’s POVI woke up to golden sunlight streaming through my window, the chirping of birds a cruel contrast to the storm raging inside me. My eyes were swollen from crying—a reminder of last night’s betrayal. I dragged myself out of bed, forcing my legs to carry me to the shower. All I wanted to do was scrub away the setbacks.First, it was Mom. Then Dad. And now Trey.The hot water did little to wash away the ache in my chest, but it helped me pull myself together.I looked at my reflection in the mirror, still feeling hopeless. What could I do? Go against the great and powerful Anna and her little pet, Trey? I was wounded, and unlike Anna, I had no money to fight back.Still wrapped in a white towel, my phone buzzed on the nightstand. I glanced at it briefly—Nanny Divine. Again. I rolled my eyes and flipped the phone over, ignoring the call.But the buzzing didn’t stop.Without thinking, I picked it up. "Nanny Divine, I thought I made myself—"“Hello, Miss Daisy,” her voice came th

Daisy’s POV “Where am I?” I asked, my voice trembling as I looked around the strange room. The walls were soft gray, and the bedspread was a gentle pastel. I blinked slowly, trying to clear the fog in my mind.“What happened to me?” I whispered aloud, trying to remember. I recalled being at Moxy, laughing with friends and drinking with abandon. Then suddenly, everything went dark. I remembered feeling dizzy, men closing in, and a loud commotion—a fight. My memories came in broken pieces, like a puzzle with too many missing parts. But one part was clear: there was a guy, and then the door opened in a flash, catching me off guard.I sat up slowly and squinted at the door. “You…” I said, pointing at the man who had entered just a moment ago.He walked in gently. He wore nothing but a towel around his waist, and water dripped from his chiseled abs. His skin was smooth, and his grey eyes shone with an intensity that made me feel both shy and safe. I closed my eyes briefly at the sight and

Liam's POVLiam's Penthouse“What a day it has been, phew,” I sighed, sinking into the leather chair in my penthouse study. I set my phone on the table and bit my lower lip, still thinking about everything that had happened. With a tired swing, I spun the chair around and opened one of the drawers of my desk. There, I found a rare bottle of Dalmore 64 Trinitas—one of only three ever made.I grabbed a glass and poured myself some whiskey, admiring the deep amber liquid as it caught the light. I swirled the glass slowly before bringing it close to my nose, closing my eyes to enjoy the rich aroma of vanilla, caramel, and honey.Taking a sip, I let the warmth spread through me. I tried to focus on the taste, but my mind was racing with thoughts—plans, memories, and the past that never stopped haunting me.Just as I was starting to relax, my phone vibrated. I picked it up.“Hello, Aunty,” I answered cheerfully, hiding the tension in my voice.“How are you, son?” Aunt Emilia’s voice was gen

Daisy’s POV“She took the bait.”That was all I heard from Liam’s whispered call. My heart pounded as I turned my head and looked at him. My deep eyes demanded answers. Can you blame me? I had been fooled before by the man I thought was my greatest love. Keeping my guard up is the only way I can stay safe.After awhile on the call, Liam turned to face me. I could see he knew I needed an explanation. He muted his phone and said, “It’s for my mom’s surprise birthday coming up.” He paused as if choosing his words carefully, then added, “I wanted to do something special for her.”I nodded slowly. “Aww, that’s so cute. You can go ahead, I don't want to disturb you” I said with a small smile. Then, I turned and helped Francois sort out the suits we had selected for Liam earlier that day.After a few minutes on the phone, Francois left, and soon Liam followed him out of the room. “I have some errands to run real quick. I’ll be back as soon as possible,” he said, giving me a quick wink before

Daisy’s POVThe moment we entered the hall, all eyes were on us—me and my handsome husband, Liam. The chandeliers above sparkled, filling the hall with a golden glow. Soft music played in the background, and the scent of expensive wine and perfume filled the hall.We walked elegantly through the crowd, heading toward our seats. I could hear people whispering as we passed."Are they really married?""They look so perfect together!"My lips curling into a small smile but I didn't respond. This was all part of the act. Liam and I had to look like the perfect couple in front of everyone.When we reached the board members, a man in a sleek suit stepped forward, a smirk tugging at his lips.“Oh, here she comes—the star of the evening,” he said, extending a hand.I met his handshake with a firm grip, my smile as poised as ever. “It’s good to see you,” I said smoothly, then turned slightly to Liam. “This is my husband, Liam. You probably haven’t met him yet.”Liam, standing tall beside me, ex
