Daisy’s heart raced with excitement as she entered the elegant wedding venue, the sweet scent of flowers filling the air. She held onto her boyfriend Noah’s arm, feeling a mix of nerves and anticipation. But as she laid eyes on her best friend’s soon-to-be husband, her world shattered. The man standing before her was the one she had been searching for all these years. The room seemed to spin as she struggled to comprehend the cruel twist of fate. Her heart sank as she realised he didn’t remember her, treating her like a stranger. The disappointment was crushing, but she accepted the harsh truth with a heavy heart. She steeled herself, determined to witness her best friend Julian’s wedding with the man she had longed to meet. But she didn’t knew that fate had a unique plan in store for her. Unbeknownst to Daisy, she was about to find herself standing on that very aisle, adorned in a wedding dress, instead of her beloved Julian. However, the man she has married - Dylan Astor, despises her with an intensity that is palpable. He has transformed into a completely unrecognisable figure from the man Daisy had encountered years ago. His once radiant, charming smile has transformed into a dark, icy countenance, causing Daisy to hold her breath whenever she sees him. The tension in the air is suffocating, as if a storm is brewing. Dylan knows very well that Daisy doesn't have feelings for him, which only makes him even more angry at her.
View MoreDylan’s face contorted into a deep frown, his brows furrowing with frustration. I could see the tension building in his expression, but I couldn’t quite decipher if it was anger or disappointment. Regardless, it was evident that he was upset. “I’m so sorry, Daisy. I should have asked for your permission first. I didn’t know you were feeling uncomfortable,” he sighed, the weight of his words hanging in the air. “No, no, Dylan, I’m sorry too. I backed off, and I don’t even know why. I’m just not ready for it yet,” I replied, my voice tinged with regret. Insecurity washed over me, and I instinctively crossed my arms, shielding my vulnerable upper body. I felt lost in that moment, realizing that if I had gone through with it with Dylan, it would have made seeking forgiveness from Julian even more difficult. No, I couldn’t bring myself to do it with Dylan just yet.“Hey, squirrel,” Dylan whispered softly, his warm breath tickling my ear. The gentle rustle of air surrounded us as he pulle
It’s been a week since the parents’ visit. Since then, Dylan has been showing up at home early. I can hear the gentle sound of his footsteps as he approaches. He speaks to me with kindness now, and we have grown closer, almost like a couple. But he also playfully teases me more than before, making me laugh. His kisses are passionate and filled with urgency, as if there’s no tomorrow. Life feels good in these moments. However, amidst this happiness, I can’t help but feel guilty for Julian. I will have to explain everything to Julian when I find her again. I hope she can find it in her heart to forgive me. The weight of my actions burdens me, as I reflect on my failure to be a good friend.“Squirrel, squirrel, my little squirrel. Where are you?” Dylan’s voice echoed through the house as he entered, his tone carrying a hint of excitement.“I’m here, Dylan, and stop calling me that.” I replied from the kitchen, the sound of pots and pans clinking as I prepared dinner for us. He smiled,
“Daisy, what happened to your lips?” Mr. Astor’s puzzled voice echoed in the room, the confusion evident in his tone. I glanced at Dylan, a smirk playing on his lips. He was such a jerk. The events of last night still lingered in my mind, his strange behavior leaving me baffled. And that kiss, oh, it was something else. It felt like a gentle caress to my soul, revitalizing me in ways I had never experienced before. But he took it too far, kissing me relentlessly for a solid half an hour. The exhaustion from the frantic preparations I had made to meet his parents had consumed me, and I couldn’t even recall when I drifted off into a deep sleep.As I stood there, my mouth hanging open, the room fell silent. I searched desperately for an excuse, but my mind drew a blank. Just as the awkwardness became unbearable, Mrs. Diana came to my rescue. Her voice cut through the tension. “Ron, let it go. Have your breakfast, you’re running late.” Her words offered a lifeline, even though I knew
DYLAN POVHer dark blue eyes widened. Guess I almost predicted her expression. Obviously nobody will think that the president of the most prestigious company in the world was a soldier before. Only if that day didn’t have occurred, I still would have lived my dream job, but most people think the opposite of this, they choose to live comfortably and wealthy like a billionaire than risking your life as a soldier for the country. I guess daisy will think the same.“yes its true. Most people dont know about this,” I replied with a sign.“Wow, why did you leave that job, then?” she said with disappointment.“what do you mean why you left? Ain’t you relieved that I left the job?” I said, with confusion. Every time I told somebody about this, they all were relieved that I left that job. I thought that Daisy would react the same way.“why would I be relieved? That seems like a super cool one, like a real life superhero. saving innocent people by risking your life. Thank you for doing that f
Oh god, that guy is such a jerk. How can he say this to someone? He is so smooth with the flirting; I know he’s only doing this to annoy me! Ugh, I hate him, but why does my face can’t stop turning red?! What is wrong with me? I looked at myself in the mirror, my cheeks were all flushed, and I couldn’t keep my hands from trembling. Maybe I should take a shower. Maybe that will calm me down. Yes, that’s a great idea. I stepped into the shower and was greeted by the warm water cascading down, creating a soothing sound as it hit the tiles. The scent of Dylan’s male products filled the air, reminding me of him. Reluctantly, I realized I didn’t have any other options, so I decided to use them. After a 30-minute long shower, the water washed away my anxiety, leaving me feeling refreshed. As I looked at my wet clothes on the floor, panic set in. I didn’t have an extra pair to wear. Frantically searching, I found a bathrobe near the sink, its soft fabric providing some comfort as I wrapped i
“Daisy,” Mrs. Diana spoke, her knife slicing through the juicy fruits with a satisfying sound. “What kind of fruit do you like? Shall I cut them for you?” The room was filled with the sweet aroma of freshly cut fruit, making my mouth water. “I don’t have a particular favorite,” I replied, a smile playing on my lips. “I like everything.” Mrs. Diana’s eyes sparkled with admiration. “You, Daisy, you are so perfect. I was always surrounded by picky eaters,” she said, gesturing towards where Dylan and his father had gone.Despite the delicious distractions, we managed to finish the award dinner. Soon, Dylan and my son retreated to the study for what Miss Diana called ‘the bigness talk.’When I first saw Dylan’s parents at the rehearsal dinner, I anticipated encountering the stereotypical wealthy parents portrayed in Netflix dramas. I imagined the mothers offering money to the less fortunate girlfriends of their sons, only to have the girlfriend defiantly reject the offer and retaliate by
“No nothing.” I said while covering my mouth. Dylan on the other hand sighed and started the car engine.It had been 30 long minutes into the car ride, and Dylan’s silence hung heavy in the air, making the atmosphere unbearably awkward. Desperate to break the tension, I mustered up the courage to speak. “Um, your watch is pretty, where did you get it?” I stammered, my voice barely audible over the sound of the engine. I hoped my go-to conversation starter would work its magic, just like it did at those dull business parties.But instead, all Dylan could manage was a confused expression and a simple sentence or should i say word that was “huh?!” That’s all, My heart sank. No I got the watch from xxx place, you know what else places I had traveled, anything to keep the conversation going. But it seemed like this trick only worked on women.“The watch,” I said with a smile, curiosity tugging at me. The glimmer of the timepiece caught my eye, its polished silver reflecting the soft glow
DAISY’S POVOh God, what should I wear?! I’ve heard from Julian that Dylan’s mother, Mrs. Diana, is an elegant and sophisticated woman. Shouldn’t I wear something similar to that when I meet her? But as I gaze into my wardrobe, I realize I have nothing like that! Frustrated, I slump on the side of the bed, my hands resting heavily on my lap. “Daisy, sweetheart, aren’t you ready yet?” Mrs. Kate exclaims, her voice filled with surprise, as she enters my room. “No, I don’t know what to wear. I don’t have anything classy or in nude colors,” I reply, a hint of tears welling up in my eyes.The parents’ meeting overwhelmed me, and it was the first time Dylan ever spoke to me since our marriage. With only a few days left to spend with him, I felt the pressure to not disappoint him. Mrs. Kate, with her impeccable sense of dressing, offered something that caught my attention. Confused, I asked her what it was, unsure if any of her clothes would fit me. She smiled, her eyes filled with excite
2 MONTHS BACKIt had been a week since I found Daisy sleeping on the living room couch every day, patiently waiting for me. The sound of my footsteps echoed through the dimly lit room, stirring her from her slumber. Rubbing her tired eyes, she exclaimed, “Dylan, you’re here. Let me warm up some food for you.” Confusion and frustration overwhelmed me. Why was she persistently waiting for me? Even my own parents never went to such lengths. Was she intentionally trying to appear pitiful in front of me? Wasn’t her marriage to me solely driven by my fame and wealth? Wasn’t that the motive behind every girl who had ever approached me? Suddenly, it all became clear. Realization struck me like a thunderbolt. I reached into my purse, retrieved the sleek black card, and swiftly approached Daisy, who stood in the kitchen, diligently plating the food. With a forceful slam, I placed the black card on the cold, granite kitchen counter.“Isn’t this what you want?” I exclaimed, my voice filled with
