"You've found a better kisser. You never used to pull away from our kisses. At least let me enjoy a moment since we separated. No one has ever touched me the way you did. If I had known you were married, I would have settled for Dennis and never compared you in my mind." ************************ When Marian, Aurora's husband's childhood sweetheart, entered their home, their once-loving marriage faced an immediate threat. Marian implied that Lucas had made Aurora a full-time housewife due to her appearance, denying her the opportunity to work in his company. Aurora, upon discovering her pregnancy, believed it was a chance to prove Marian wrong and convince Lucas to give her a position in his company. Unbeknownst to her, Lucas was grappling with his past and wanted to shield his wife from the pain his late mother had endured. Aurora was shocked when her blood tests revealed traces of abortion pills, resulting in a devastating miscarriage. Lucas suspected that Aurora had intentionally taken the pills after he denied her request. This breach of trust led to an irreparable divorce. To escape the aftermath, Aurora reinvented herself as Daisy, a confident and strong-willed accountant unrecognizable from her former self. However, her past resurfaced when she received a surprising business proposition: to audit her ex-husband's now-billionaire company. Could she face the haunting shadows of her past? What would happen when she confronted the person who tore her marriage apart? And how would her ex-husband react when he couldn't take his eyes off her? "Miss Daisy, I would love to go on a date with you. You resemble the woman I lost," Lucas expressed. "Mr. Lucas, with all due respect, my purpose here is to audit your company, not go on a date," Daisy firmly responded.
View MoreLucas' pov Am I dreaming? From one shocking news to another. My own ex wife has been my auditor for the past weeks and I never found out. But having the thought that Aurora is carrying the baby of another man is heart wrenching. It's been about ten minutes since I came out of Aurora's house and I have lost my mind. Can I drive myself home? I had forgotten where to start the car and the key was in my hand. That is why whenever I set my eyes on her, there is this feeling that I can't explain. She makes my heart race from the very first day I set my eyes on her. I took out my phone and called Dan. As the phone was ringing, I moved my head left and right and I waited for Dan to pick up my call. “Where have you kept your phone that you kept me waiting for?” I asked. “I'm sorry, but I guess this is your first call.” “Where are you? I…I'm,” “What Lucas? Don't tell me you are still thinking of your ex-wife,” he interrupted me. “Can you imagine? Daisy, the external audito
Author's pov Daisy approached the door and found Sebastian seated, washing her, as he walked toward it. His initial focus was solely on hearing a man's voice and name. "Has this man been here before?" That was his only concern. He crossed his legs and adjusted himself on the chair, preparing to witness what would happen. Daisy's heart raced with each step towards the door. She had a strange feeling that something strange was about to occur. On opening the door, she held her breath, then she saw Lucas on the other side, holding a bouquet of roses. Standing at the entrance, she blocked Lucas from entering and, despite seeing the flowers, she said, "Sir, what do you want? I have a visitor, and we were occupied..." "Today will mark the last time you call me 'sir.' I am still the man who will always love you. From the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew you were my wife. You can change your appearance, but you have failed to change my heart. Aurora, I apologize for everything I've
Author’s pov On this much-anticipated day, Daisy found herself having to go to my office to submit and clarify some documents she had been working on for Mr. Lucas. Despite her excitement for Sebastian's visit, her responsibilities couldn't be ignored. As she sat in the car, nearing her workplace, Daisy decided to dial Sebastian's phone. She secretly hoped he would extend his stay beyond the initially agreed days. Lately, their bond had been growing stronger, even though they hadn't officially labeled themselves as boyfriend and girlfriend. Nevertheless, an intense connection was developing between them. "Hi Sebastian, where are you right now? I'm on my way to work," she greeted. "I'm at the airport. I have less than thirty minutes to board my flight," he replied.Daisy didn't bother asking about his arrival time. If his flight departed thirty minutes later, she could accurately estimate his arrival in the city. "Once you land, please give me a call," she said. "Are you leav
Aurora’s pov Sebastian is coming tomorrow, what a surprising turn of events. From the weekend to tomorrow. I can't contain my excitement. I'm not sure how to handle this upcoming happiness. Am I happy because Sebastian is coming, or is my brain tricking me into happiness due to the news about Marian? That thought alone made me sit down and reflect on what happened to Marian. Ever since the news broke, I've been at home for the three days Lucas gave me off. We haven't seen each other, except for the last time he came over and noticed my coffee can. The way he looked at me felt like he was seeing a glimpse of my former self. However, when I challenged him about resembling his former wife, he couldn't respond. I sensed confusion on his face. There's no way I look exactly like the woman he used to know. I can't deny the fact that we bear a resemblance, though. What am I even saying? I burst out laughing in my mind, not realizing when I started laughing out loud. I walked over to the sta
Author's pov Sebastian was sitting in his car after stopping in front of his parents' house. The day before, his mother had called, informing him that she wasn't feeling well. Despite his busy schedule, he had promised to visit her today. He had turned off the car engine, but his mind was consumed with thoughts of Daisy. "Is she trying to be clever? Why doesn't she know who's been asking her out?" he pondered. "I must meet her this weekend. I know she hasn't officially accepted me as her boyfriend, but it's progress. I still remember when she even invited me to spend the night at her apartment." Little did Sebastian know, his mother was standing by the window, wondering why he was still in the car instead of coming inside. Sebastian leaned back against the headrest, closing his eyes slowly.Suddenly, the sound of the front door opening startled him, and he opened his eyes to see his mother approaching. Swiftly, Sebastian opened his car door, hoping nobody had seen him. He fo
Author's pov Marian sat in the passenger seat of the car, while Dennis took the wheel. Leaving the hotel behind, Marian promptly dialed Benedict's number. They had made arrangements the previous night to meet, and for security reasons, Marian suggested meeting at Benedict's house. "Hello, Mr. Benedict, I'm on my way. Should I come to your house now?" Marian asked. "I will give you a call," Benedict replied, ending the conversation abruptly. "Why did he end the call?" Marian wondered aloud, causing Dennis to turn and look at her. Instead of addressing her question, he responded, "I hope you brought the letter I wrote and printed?" "Yes." "In that case, let's wait." Dennis drove for a moment before stopping the car. "Let me see the letter you've written," Marian requested. Dennis opened his bag and handed her the letter. It was the first time Marian had read its contents. Dennis had instructed her to place the letter on the table after successfully poisoning Benedict.
