Daisy's POV

Right now, I couldn’t care less about anything. I just needed to get to my office and do what I had planned for today. Work was the only thing keeping me sane. If I sat idle, I would think too much, and that would drive me crazy.

It had been an extremely boring day at work, so I decided to drown myself in tasks again. Just as I was about to start reviewing some reports, the fax phone on the right end of my desk rang. I immediately picked it up.

“Madam, there’s a man here who wishes to see you. He said he’s from Lock Tech Services,” Hazel’s sharp voice came through the receiver.

“Oh yes, please let him in,” I replied before hanging up.

A few minutes later, a man entered my office. The sound of his sturdy boots thudded against the polished floor as he walked in. He wore worn-out jeans and a black company shirt with the Lock Tech Services logo on the chest. A tool belt rested around his waist, filled with various locksmithing tools. A laminated ID badge clipped to his belt id

  • Dear Ex, I Want Your Brother    Chapter 49

    Anna’s POVA few days passed, and Commissioner James truly kept to his word. Or should I say—he did even more than I expected. He found a way for me to talk to Trey in prison. I wasn’t sure if I was ready, but I knew I had to do this. There were too many questions that only Trey could answer.I wore an all black outfit. Black trousers and a black top. My black shades covered half my face. I didn’t want to draw attention to myself. I wasn’t here as Queen Anna Turner today. I was just Anna, a woman on a mission.When I arrived at the prison, the strong smell of coffee hit my nose immediately. It was sharp and bitter, just like I remembered it from government buildings. Officers were everywhere, dressed in full uniform with badges on their chests and guns strapped to their waists. The place was cold and smelled of metal, sweat and strong coffee.“May I help you, ma’am?” a voice startled me from behind. I quickly turned, my heart jumping for a second. I took off my shades and met the eyes

    Anna's POVFunny how I come to work and everything seems quiet. Too quiet, actually. Daisy's assistant, Hazel, informed me that she didn't come in today. Now that was interesting. I made a mental note to use this as another piece of proof to show the board just how unreliable Daisy really is. Everyone seems to think she’s some perfect angel, but I see through her. One mistake at a time, I’ll build my case.Speaking of business, I needed to inform Trey that we finally bagged Mr. Chen last night. That man had been a tough one to convince, but with a little persistence and a lot of charm, I got him to sign the dotted line. That deal was big—huge even. It would bring in major returns, and of course, I wanted to be the first to share the news.I picked up my phone from the desk and dialed Trey's number. It rang several times but no answer. Typical Trey. Always busy, always ignoring calls when I need him most. I rolled my eyes and sighed."I better ask my assistant to check on him in his of

    Daisy’s POV"Come on, Daisy. No falling in love," I kept repeating the words silently in my head. That mantra had become my shield since Trey broke my heart. I had promised myself never to feel that kind of pain again. Never to be weak again. Never to give my heart to anyone again.I stood at the edge of Liam’s bed, watching him sleep. He looked so peaceful, like a child lost in a dream. His long lashes rested softly and the bandage near his hairline reminded me of everything that had happened. My hand lifted slowly, stopping just above his head. I wondered what it would feel like to run my fingers through his hair. Would it be soft? Would it bring comfort to him? Would it bring comfort to me?But I couldn’t do it. I pulled my hand back. I didn’t have the right.I was lying to myself, giving myself excuses just to stay close to him. That had to stop. I turned around and quietly picked up my phone from the table in his room. I needed a distraction. I needed to talk to someone who could

    Daisy's POVI didn’t even know when I opened the car door. My legs just moved on their own. Before I knew it, I was running straight toward the warehouse. My chest was tight, and my breathing was heavy, but I didn’t care. I had to see Liam. I had to know he was okay.When I reached the door of the warehouse, I stopped for a second and peeped inside. My heart jumped. The commissioner and some officers were pointing guns at someone lying on the floor. I shifted my gaze and saw another group of officers gathered in one corner.I waited for a few seconds, my heart pounding like a drum. Then I saw him. Liam.He was standing near the officers, looking a bit dazed but very much alive. My knees almost gave way from the relief. Without thinking, I ran inside, ignoring whatever my driver was shouting behind me.“Thank God you’re okay,” I whispered as I reached him. I pressed my face against his back and wrapped my arms around his chest tightly. Tears rolled down my cheeks without warning. I did

    Daisy's POVLiam left the house early this morning. As soon as he got that phone call, his mood changed. He became quiet and distant. He didn’t say much to me, just that he had to go to the office for an urgent matter. But I could see it in his eyes—something wasn’t right. My heart told me he was in danger, and I wasn’t going to sit and do nothing.As soon as I stepped out of his room, I picked up my phone and called my driver.“Hello, Madam,” he answered politely.“Liam will be leaving soon . Please, place a tracker on his car. I have a bad feeling,” I said quietly, making sure no one else could hear me.“Understood, Madam. I’ll take care of it right away,” he replied.I ended the call and rushed to my room. I needed to get ready quickly. If my gut feeling was right, then the sooner I followed Liam, the better. I took a quick shower and dressed in black leggings and a long-sleeved cropped top. I slipped on a comfortable pair of sneakers, tied my hair into a bun, and wore dark sunglas

  • Dear Ex, I Want Your Brother    Chapter 44

    Liam's POVAs much as I wanted to spend all my time with Daisy, I got a call from Trey asking me to meet him at this warehouse downtown. It was strange. Trey had never asked me to meet him before, talkless of an actual location. But maybe he had something important to say, something he couldn’t share over the phone. Something about Daisy again. I didn’t want to be suspicious. He was my brother after all, or so I thought."I'm here, where are you?" I asked, my eyes flickering around. The place felt odd—dusty, cold, and quiet. You could hear the sound of anything that moves. There were broken glass pieces scattered on the floor, and cobwebs hung from the corners of the ceiling. It looked like no one had stepped foot in this place for years. I took a few careful steps forward. My gut told me something was off.Then I heard footsteps behind me. I quickly turned around, but before I could see anything clearly, everything went dark.Did I fall asleep?"My head... Uggghhh... What's going on?
