The Billionaire's Dutiful Wife

The room fell silent, Daisy's eyes darted back and forth between her parents in absolute disbelief, eyes threatening to release a river of tears."This can't be, Dad, you are just pulling my legs, right? " Mr Smith's head tilted upwards with a deadpan serious look on, "I should be a fool then for doing that!"Daisy gulped down at the realization her father wasn't playing around, The smooth spot between her brows twisted in displeasure, and the chilling sensation of fear rushed down her spine. She shivers in response.She turns to Mrs Smith, "Mom!??" "There is no joke in this, your father has spoken and so shall it be" came Mrs Smith's words.Daisy felt a hundred thorns piercing her heart as she stared at her parents who are supposed to look after her well-being and happiness doing the exact opposite." So shall it be? " Daisy repeated, tears now streaming down her cheeks."How could you stand there and impose on me whom to spend my life with? You are my parents, aren't parents suppo

"You think so?" Came his sudden question"I know so!"There was no option for contemplation, she knew it was their last because her dad was a man of his word and his decisions were final."That's good!" He sounds over the wall.Daisy breaks a million times hearing his nonchalant response."Yeah, it is" she agrees. "Maybe I should just give in, it's not like I've got other choices" she mumbled to herself."Now that I'm leaving, won't you mind telling me your name?" Daisy demands, "If I can't see your face, it's better I know your name, at least""My name??" He repeats to himselfDaisy waits patiently for him to speak up but he never does. Instead, she heard another voice"Here you are, I've been looking for you everywhere!" A female voice spoke out, Daisy could hear the sound of heels against the floor. It was so loud that it echoed throughout the rooftop.Hearing that, Daisy felt so foolish for thinking they could be something. From the sound of the lady's voice, they could be couple

She watches him lean down, closing the gaps between them. His head pushed closer, he was so close that she could feel his harsh yet soft warm breath hitting her face.Realizing he was about to kiss her, Daisy pushes him out of reflex making him stagger two steps behind. The entire hall was in chaos at her action, whispers going on and on around."Are you ok?" He asked pulling her from her thoughtsDaisy was quick to snap out of her imagination, she blinked at him and let out a heavy yet silent sigh at the realization all was nothing but hallucinations. "Hmm, yes" Daisy forces a smile hoping he doesn't see through her."Can I?" He demands.Daisy's eyes open wide confused about what he's talking about. She face-palm herself at the realization of what he meant."Yes," she gives a half-hearted response.She closes her eyes, waiting for him to get over with it. Minutes passed but the kiss never came. Instead, she felt a light brush against her cheeks"Don't be scared, it's just a kiss" h

"That was made clear to me the moment I said yes to being his wife" Daisy informs with a smiley face."Right, that's true... But before you think this is just a casual marriage of mutual benefit, I'd like to inform you of your rightful duty in giving this family an heir" Mrs Milton sounds so serious.There wasn't a doubt to Daisy that all they were after were their top benefits, she handed her a glass of wine"Isn't it too early to talk about it, mother-in-law?" She raises a brow with a smirky smile on her pretty lips.She turns around and gazes at the decorations in the background, "this is a pretty much good event to talk about something that can be discussed in the future. Moreover, I think I deserve to enjoy marriage life, don't you think? There's always one chance in this and this is mine, with politeness, I pledge you kindly let me enjoy mine " " I bet to excuse myself, mother-in-law," she said, turning her heels and walking away.Mrs Milton fumes in anger but does her best to

"Dave?" Daisy calls out to him, he turns around with a brow raised."About today, " she starts but seems reluctant to speak."What about today?" Dave demands.Daisy raised her head and met his gaze, "I know I am not your mate and will never be but, we are now married and that makes us equal in right and decision" Dave frowns, he doesn't understand where she is heading."Why not make your point clear for me to understand?" Daisy gulps down nervous, "You have the right to demand respect from me but can you please make it less embarrassing? "Daisy felt so embarrassed when he spoke to her rudely in front of the maids as though she wasn't his wife.Dave stares at her for a long time as if trying to figure it out before saying, "Is that all? "Daisy was stunned he didn't find it offensive, she quickly nodded." Yes, that's all for now" " I'll see into it, though I can't say I won't, " Dave says not biting around the bush." And lest I forget, don't enter my room if you aren't permitted
