The chauffeur did as he was told and in approximately twenty minutes, they arrived at the venue.

The space felt like a secret garden pulled indoors. The walls were washed white, and everything else softened against them.

The light wasn’t bright; it came from strings of tiny bulbs that were draped above, and from candles that sat in clear glass holders on every surface.

There were only 15 to 20 chairs, so you could actually see everyone.

They were arranged in loose rows. Each seat had a w

    Dara looked from the elegant lady to Lucas. She recognized the woman but wasn't so sure. “Ms. Daisy?” She finally let out after thinking hard on where she must have seen her. “Ms. Ford.”Lucas kept staring at her. Then he passed his laptop to Dara. His eyes scanned Daisy's expensive blue halter-neck jumpsuit, tailored to perfection with wide-leg pants that grazed the floor over pointed heels. Then he looked at her straightened hair – glossy and tucked behind one ear. Minimal makeup - brushed brows and nude gloss. Small diamond studs, nothing flashy. Her nails were short, milky white.She wasn't dressed to be pretty for him. She was dressed like a woman who meant business. Lucas stepped closer to her and said, “You think this is cosplay? Who even let you in here? This is supposed to be a closed board meeting.”He tried his best not to raise his voice but anger could be heard in his tone. “Watch your tone, Mr. Miller.”“Drop the act already! You can't just wear a suit, change

    Tuesday arrived rather quickly and Lucas was all set to head to the office. Josephine sat in the living room with a newspaper in her hand. “I'm off mum”, Lucas announced. His mother raised her head slightly but dropped it and kept her focus on the paper. “Are you upset with me?” Lucas quizzed.“No. Where's Nina?”“She's in the room.”“Sleeping?”“No, mum. She'll be down soon for breakfast. I think she has a shoot today.”Josephine raised an eyebrow but lowered it almost immediately. “Sit and wait. When Nina comes, you can leave.”Lucas did as he was told and in no time, Nina descended.She was in a floral emerald dress. She exchanged greetings with Josephine before heading to the dining area for breakfast. Josephine's reply was flat but Nina didn't bother to find out why. When she was done with dinner, she went back up for her handbag. She descended and turned to Lucas. “Why haven't you left yet? You have to prepare for your meetings.”“I asked him to wait. He'll drop you

    “Are you okay dear?” Josephine asked with so much concern. “Yes, yes. I'm good. And my parents are okay but they travel a lot.” “Actually…”, Andrew cut in. “Our parents are not together. It's a complicated story but just as Nina said, they're always on the go.”“Oh…hopefully, I get to meet them when they land in the city.” Josephine noticed Nina was still feeling uncomfortable so she tried to ease the atmosphere. “You know, there's this perception that people with divorced parents don't have a good upbringing. But I would always demand to differ.” Andrew laughed. “I'm being serious though”, Josephine continued, smiling. “You and Nina turned out just fine. Perfect and lovely.”They continued their discussion on nothing in particular and the doorbell rang. It was Dara, Lucas' personal assistant and she came along with the documents that needed Lucas' signature.“I'll excuse myself and sign these papers.”“You can sign it here”, Josephine said. “But mum–”“No buts and ifs. Just

    “When did I say it's my father's house?” Andrew quizzed. Nina remained quiet. He bit from the apple and drank from the glass of milk before speaking again. “I've noticed how your behavior has changed since you saw me. What's the matter?” Nina walked past him and poured herself a glass of water. She turned to leave when Andrew said something that made her stop in her tracks.“Walk out of that door ignoring me and I'll tell your brand new husband more than he needs to know.” Nina turned to face him. She looked like she would pounce on him. Her eyes darkened.She took the first step towards him, then a second and third, until she was a few inches away. “Are you threatening me? Threatening me so early in the morning?” “You know I don't threaten people. I talk and I get the job done. You know this very well.” “Fine. What exactly are you going to tell Lucas? Tell me. I want to know.” “You can always find out when he confronts you.” Nina dropped the glass on the table. It almos

    In the Miller mansion, Andrew was seated in the living room while Nina, Lucas and Josephine went upstairs to freshen up. Josephine joined him shortly to keep him company while they waited for the couple to join them.She tried to keep the conversation light until her son and Nina returned. Upstairs, Nina was taking out night gowns from one of her suitcases. She was yet to unpack her things into the closet and as a model, she had quite a lot of belongings. “You look good in the bathrobe and you smell even better”, Lucas teased..“I could have you for dinner.” He stepped closer to her from behind and wrapped his arms around her waist. But Nina freed herself. Lucas stepped closer again and placed a kiss on her cheek. “Are you upset with me?” Nina raised her white pajamas and took off her bathrobe.She looked at Lucas through the corners of her eyes.He swallowed hard at her glistening body, itching to have her. She rolled her eyes and put on her clothes in a rather slow movement

    “Are you going to stay up like this or do you want to talk?” “Talk about what exactly?” “Anything. We could perhaps start from what's going through your mind.” He handed her a hot cup of tea, with another in his left hand. “Thanks.” “Now tell me, what are you thinking about?” “Nothing. A lot has happened in the past few days and I'm still trying to process everything.” “Everything? Or just Lucas' wedding?” Daisy looked at him and lowered her gaze afterwards. She sipped from her cup and sighed. “I'm not bothered by his wedding. He can marry whoever he wants.” “Is that so?” “Yes.”“Then why did you suddenly walk out during the wedding? And why have you been unusually quiet since we returned?” “It's simple. I showed up to the wedding and accomplished what I wanted…Lucas and Josephine were utterly confused and shocked. It felt good to see that. And when it comes to being quiet, I have absolutely nothing to say.” “Really? Then why can't you look me in the eye?” Daisy remain
