I was fuming with anger at Dylan, refusing to utter a word to him until noon, regardless of his relentless calls. “Come on, little squirely, don’t do this... we have so many places to go,” he pleaded, his presence demanding attention, but his face transformed into that of a small, helpless puppy. My anger held strong, preventing me from facing the people in the lobby, a deep sense of embarrassment washing over me.He let out a deep, burdensome sigh, his breath heavy in the air. With ease, he scooped me up from the couch and carried me effortlessly to the bed, settling me on his lap. I struggled to break free from his strong grasp, gasping for air as his grip tightened. “Please, squirrel... talk to me,” he pleaded, his head resting on my shoulder, his warm breath tickling my neck. Memories of the previous embarrassing incident flooded my mind, causing me to blush. “You embarrass me in front of almost one third population of Rome. Who knows if others from different countries were in t
Daisy hesitated, feeling a mix of confusion and discomfort. The dimly lit room cast flickering shadows on the lavish furniture. The distant sound of traffic drifted through the open window, mingling with the scent of freshly cut grass. As Noah’s hand pressed against her cheek, Daisy's heart pounded, her mind racing with conflicting thoughts.“Stopp.. stop Noah you can’t do this.. Noah my husband’s on his way, you don’t know what he’ll do to you and me if he sees this”Daisy spoke with a pleading voice.“Why ... You loved me right Daisy?? Babe, it's me, your boyfriend... We’ve done it thousands of times, so why are you being fussy about it now,” Noah said while grabbing her cheeks and leaning in to kiss Daisy.The door opened, revealing a tall man.“What the hell are you doing in my house!” Dylan shouted while grabbing Noah’s collar.He didn’t even give Noah a second to explain and started punching him.“how dare you touch my wife” Dylan shouted as he kicked Noah on stomach“Dylan!

ONE YEAR BACKDAISY'S POVSo, what would you like to eat?”"Um, yeah, anything you like," I said, squinting my eyes. Noah, my boyfriend, received my response."OK, babe, I'll just order and come," he patted my hair.I got to know Noah Smith through my best friend, Julian. He is an artist; he paints; and it's been a year since we started dating.I like Noah a lot.But sometimes he does very extraordinary things. Today he literally booked the whole 77th floor restaurant just because he wanted to compensate for the time we lost when he went on his one month business trip.From the glass wall, I gazed outside , the majestic skyscraper towering with brightness. It brought a nostalgic memory to my brain. Four years have passed since that incident, the one where I crossed paths with 'him' - the Batman, the name I gave him because I never had the chance to learn his actual name.I still remember how excited I was after that incident. I literally thought he would come as he promised to do afte
“Hello, nice to finally meet you. My name is Dylan Arison. Julian has told me a lot about you.” said the tall man.Dylan was his name. No, that’s Dylan. Julian Dylan... he hasn’t changed much. He’s just become more beautiful, but his smile has become less lively... or maybe it’s just my illusion.I can’t do this to Julian; she’s my best friend, and I know she was overjoyed when she returned from her first day with Dylan. She loves him, and judging by the way Dylan is looking at Julian right now, I believe he loves her as well, so who am I to stand in their way?I should be able to act calm, but my hands are trembling. Thank god no-one noticed it.I extended my shaky hand to introduce myself.“My name is Daisy White. Julian told me a lot about you, too.” I said with a smile.Noah, who was standing next to me, wrapped his hand around my shoulder and spoke to me.“Hi, I’m Daisy’s boyfriend and Julian’s childhood friend, Noah Smith.”“Noted, it’s a pleasure to me you too. Please come insi
"There might be some misunderstanding; she might have gone somewhere for a short time." I said it with disdain."No, we've been looking for her for nearly two hours. We called her hairstylist and makeup artist, as well as her other friends and cousins, but she was nowhere to be found," Noah said, nervously.How could Julian have gone missing? She was so excited about the wedding perhaps she might be planning some sort of prank. I went straight to Julian's room, thinking she might be hiding there.As I entered the room, I saw Mrs Astor and other family members searching for Julian."Daisy, my child, did you see Julian? ” Mrs Astor said with tears in her eyes.I just nodded in rejection.While Mr. Astor and other houseworkers were desperately searching the entire house, they were also making calls and asking other people about Julian.When I took up my phone and dialed her number, I found that it was turned off. I began looking near the bed and lamp table, thinking Julian might have left
DYLAN'S POVAs Julian walked through the aisle with James Astor, I knew this was the time... I never thought that I’ll marry arrange, I always thought that when I’ll see my bride walking down the aisle towards me, that’ll be the day when me and her both will know that we survived our love till here and now we’ll celebrate it in front of everybody we knew, to tell them that now we are ready to celebrate our love till forever..How naïve I was back then., no wonder I ended up here .... I think it’s the best. No feelings, no love, no weakness, only profit and that’s what I’ll get from this wedding... To make me one step ahead to become the most powerful man ever, so that nobody gets to play with me again.... Despite Julian being a decent girl, keeping her non-stop chattering and pranks aside, she has a great sense of business knowledge and maybe she’s the perfect wife for me.It all happens for the best.Upon hearing Julian's father's request to take care of her, I simply nodded in agre
DAISY’S POVStepping into the penthouse, I was greeted by a breathtaking sight: a massive glass wall offering a stunning view of the city, while the elegant decor, dominated by shades of grey and black, exuded a sense of coldness and loneliness. With the incident in the elevator still fresh in my mind, I couldn’t help but wonder if this place would become my new home, even if only temporarily, and if Dylan’s actions indicated a dislike or even hatred towards me. I immediately regretted asking him about our meeting. While preoccupied with my thoughts, I completely missed David’s departure from the living room.I hesitated to follow him, a nagging feeling in my gut urging me not to. He never told me where to stay or what to do in this unfamiliar place. As I manoeuvred in my heavy wedding gown, chosen by Julian for her special day, I wondered how I ended up here. Standing near the glass wall, I gazed out at the breathtaking city view. The towering building resembled Ocean Devanna; did D
dylan’s povIt’s been a month since Daisy moved into my house, and the atmosphere has shifted. The air feels different, as if a new energy has been introduced. The sight of her belongings scattered across the living room creates a sense of warmth and liveliness. The faint sound of her laughter echoes through the halls, filling the once empty space with a melodic charm, which is kind of annoying.The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafts through the air, mingling with the scent of her favourite flowers. It’s a pleasant combination, one that I never thought I would experience in my sanctuary. My house has always been my haven, a place where no one but Mrs. Kate was welcomed. Even past girlfriends were denied entry, as I preferred to keep my space sacred and unshared.But Julian managed to break through my walls (or should I say I didn’t had any her choice) and now Daisy has found her way in, too. It’s a strange feeling, allowing someone to enter my private world. I never expected the brid
