Liam’s POVI walk into Daisy’s office slowly, the air around in the room fell a couple of degrees. She’s sitting on the carpet beside the couch, her elbow resting on Hazel’s leg. Both of them turn their faces to me, and the look they give me is full of anger, pain, and a kind of sadness that twists my chest. Still, I’m not backing down. Not until Daisy says it to my face. If she wants me gone, she has to tell me with her own mouth. Not Hazel, not security nor Cynthia. It has to be her or I’m not leaving otherwise. Consequences be damned.“Please excuse me,” Hazel says, her voice sharp as she stands, smoothing out her skirt and walks past me. Her eyes don’t even meet mine, and she makes sure to close the door tightly behind her.I glance at Daisy. She uses the moment to stand, brushing invisible dust from her pants, her movement stiff and guarded. She squares her shoulders, trying to look strong, but when my eyes meet hers, I feel something else. Her eyes, usually bright and playful, a
Daisy’s POV“What the fuck just happened?” I screamed as I pushed all the papers off my table.I didn’t care that they scattered across the floor like leaves in the wind. I didn’t care that they were important documents. Right now, nothing felt important anymore. Nothing felt real.They said I’m not president material.What a joke. I have given everything to this company. My time. My energy. My fucking soul. And now, just like that, they think I’m not good enough?I knew it. I knew this was Anna’s doing. That woman has been waiting for a chance to pull me down. She smiles in my face and stabs me in the back. Every single time.“Fuck you, Anna. And fuck you too, Liam,” I hissed as I slammed my fist hard on the desk. The pain shot up my arm, but it was still nothing compared to what I felt inside.At this point, I didn’t even know what hurt more.Was it seeing Liam naked in bed with Sandra? Or was it hearing people question my leadership after everything I’ve done? Maybe it was both. Ma
DAISY’S POVMonday Morning“So, what are your thoughts on this proposal, President Daisy?” a board member asked politely, his voice echoing across the boardroom. All eyes turned to me. Some curious, some worried. A few of them looked like they didn't want to be here as well.If it were up to me, I wouldn’t even be in this boardroom right now. I’d be somewhere far away. Maybe near the sea. Breathing fresh air, eating something sweet, and trying to remember who I was before my whole life started falling apart. But no… I couldn’t do that. I can’t just throw everything away. Not after all the years of work my dad and I put into building this company.I closed my eyes for a second.My husband cheated on me and I still can't believe it.But I’m not the first woman on this earth to get cheated on — not once, but twice — and I’m sure I won’t be the last. So here I am, dressed like a boss, sitting like a queen, and trying to stop my heart from crumbling into pieces in front of everyone.A boar
Liam’s POVWhen the commissioner’s car finally left Daisy’s estate, it didn’t go far before stopping. The car door opened, and he got out quietly. He walked to the back door, pulled it open, and dragged me out by the arm. I was still lost in my thoughts, not fully understanding what was happening.That’s when I noticed my car parked right behind us, another officer sitting inside it. He must’ve been following us the whole time.The commissioner stood tall in front of me, His eyes unwavering. He looked at me like a father would look at his son. Then he spoke.“A piece of advice, son. Get into your car and leave,” he said firmly but without anger. “If you cause any more trouble in this estate, I can assure you, Daisy will file a restraining order against you.”He paused, looking at me dead in the eyes.“And let’s be honest with each other, you don’t want that. Not if you still plan on being her husband someday.”He tapped my shoulder gently, like he didn’t want to break me completely.“
Liam’s POV “D… Daisy, please… I promise you, it’s not what it looks like,” I stuttered out, reaching for her, my heart beating wildly in my chest. But before I could even finish my sentence, she had already turned and ran out of the room.“No, no, no,” I whispered, panic rising in my throat. I yanked the blanket off my body and jumped out of the bed. My mind was racing, my heart thudding like a war drum. Then I felt a hand on mine.The one person I never should have trusted. The one person I knew was trouble now more than ever.“Don’t touch me,” I growled, jerking my hand out of hers like it burned.“You planned this, didn’t you? You set me up!” I yelled, my voice filled with anger and disgust. My whole body was trembling.Sandra just stood there, completely calm. A sick smirk danced across her lips. She was proud of what she had done. Proud that she had shattered my world.“You belong to me, Liam,” she said like it was some kind of fact. “You always have… and you always will. I only
Liam’s POVFew hours ago…“Please send these roses to this address. And don’t forget the card,” I said, handing the florist the small envelope I had carefully prepared. It had my handwriting on it — a note for my wife. My heart was heavy. I had caused her pain, and it took her pushing me away for me to finally see it clearly. She wouldn’t even let me into her office… or her room. That hurt more than I can explain.I blamed myself. Completely. Every single part of it was my fault.Now that Sandra was finally out of my life for good, I just wanted to fix things. I wanted to make it right with Daisy. I closed my eyes for a second, imagining her face. The way she smiles, the way her eyes light up when she’s happy. I imagined that same smile when she’d see the roses and read my card. I hoped it would bring her some comfort. Maybe a little hope too.Just as I was lost in my thoughts, my phone rang. I looked down and saw Jason’s name on the screen.“It was about time you showed up,” I joked
