"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 couples or if not, something closer to that."Felt hot inside, so I decided to get some fresh air!" He responded, voice more friendly than that he always used on her"I see, I'll join you then. It's been a hell in there anyways!" The female voice speaks."No matter how hard I try, nothing will ever be mine". Daisy cries in silence.She has never been able to boast of anything, not her parents or wealth, nor the strange guy she has been talking to and for some reason, had fallen in love with.Accepting her fate, she wipes away her tears and pushes herself up to her feet. There's no need to say goodbye, she said it already.Even if she wishes to say it, again! She can't because he's busy and doesn't have her time as compared to the way he did.She carries her helpless self down the rooftop, to her house. There's nothing else she can do but cry.By the time he was done talking, Daisy was long gone but he had no clue as he called out"Hey, are you there? "He calls out three times but receives no response,"My name is, Dave... Dave Milton and I wish I could get yours at least" he said in a whisper but it was too late."Daisy?" Mrs. Bella calls out, opens the door and walks into Daisy's room. She was surprised to see Daisy lying on the bed."How come you are here? Didn't you leave as planned?" She asked, heading to the bed.No response came from Daisy, Mrs Bella couldn't help but worry."You can talk to me" Mrs Bella reminds.Daisy turns to her, "Why is everyone too busy to fit into my life? Why am I too boring to be loved? " She demands in tearsMrs Bella could tell something was wrong with the way she sounded so broken." Mrs Bella? " Daisy calls out all of a sudden, eyes shining so bright" I can't fight this anymore, I give up. " Daisy said in defeat.Mrs. Bella pulls her in for a tight hug, She doesn't know what happened but to think she has decided not to fight with her father, is the best choice ever."It's hopeless fighting, no one will hear me anyway."After a long time of comforting her, she was able to calm down. Thank God for sleep. Mrs. Bella helped her rest well on the bed and placed the covers over her before leaving the room.Closing the door behind, she was welcomed by Mrs Smith, standing a few steps away from the door."Mrs Bella?" Mrs Smith calls out seeing she wasn't ready to give her attention."What more do you want from me? You heard her, she gave up... She's given in as you wished" Mrs Bella said.Mrs Smith nods and takes a few strides closer. "I know, I overheard you two talk"Mrs Bella turned to leave but was held back by Mrs Smith."I'm sorry you had to do this for me" Mrs Smith felt guilty for making Mrs Bella talk Daisy into letting go.Mrs Bella pulls away, "I didn't do it, she decided to."Mrs Smith nods, "Still, thank you. It's all possible because of you"Mrs. Bella walks three steps away but stops and turns to her, "You might be able to solve it temporarily, but that doesn't guarantee your freedom and happiness. Work on yourself!" With that, she walks away." I'll try! " Mrs Smith mutters under her breath and leaves in the other direction.She walks into a room where Mr Smith is seen sitting on the sofa, staring at nothing."Hope that annoying child of yours has agreed else, I'll kick her out of this mansion" Mr Smith mentioned." You don't need to, she's agreed to play by your rules" Mrs Smith informs." Better! " Mr Smith groans."How long will this go on?" Mrs Smith questions, "How many more years would I be bound to you, deprived of my life and happiness while being yours go toy with?"Mr Smith's face twists in displeasure, and he turns to her. " For as long as I feel satisfied. Doesn't matter if it's years, I'm pretty sure you felt no remorse in toying with me for fifteen years. So don't you ever ask me when! ""I didn't do that to hurt you, I was concerned about you," Mrs Smith said, voice soft and teary." Concern? Nope, I don't think so. If you were truly concerned then that would've been better. But you, you will never care or love anyone other than yourself" Mr Smith said without batting an eye.Mrs. Smith felt her heart tighten at his words, She knew she deserved it but her daughter didn't deserve any of it"why do you punish her then, it's my cross, why don't you let me carry it along? " She demands.Mr Smith let out a mockery chuckle," What joy will it bring if I let the daughter go and hold the mother hostage? ""That's lame feedback, isn't it? I can't afford to let you have a moment of happiness, never!" Mr Smith's voice resonates with so much anger."But she's done nothing wrong!" Mrs Smith interjects.Mr Smith shrugs, "That's none of my business, Her mother did it anyways and she's paying for it" "Or won't you give up yourself for her? She should be ready to do the same for you!" His lips pull up into a wicked grin."You are a monster!" Mrs Smith accuses."No, not a monster. I'm worse than that, I'll say... I am a devil, yeah, that's the best" Mr Smith corrects.A wave of regret hovers over Mrs Smith at the realization of the person she married in the name of a husband."I hate you so much that I wish I was never entangled with you in the first place" her voice laced with pain.Mr Smith chuckles, "Too bad you are, and until I say a word, you will forever be bound to me"Mrs. Smith angrily turns her heels and walks out of the room in a hurry. She is broken and sad, because of her, her daug
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
"Excuse me, Mrs Amber, I would like to check on something," Dave said and left the two Ladies to themselves. He heads in the direction Daisy took.Inside, Daisy couldn't help but cry in silence hoping no one would come in but then, her wishes were ignored as Dave walked into the room."You ok?" He demands, hands buried deep into his trousers. He stands by the door staring back at her tiny frame.Daisy turns away the moment she hears him, she doesn't want anyone to know she's been crying"Don't I look ok to you?" She demands.Dave observes a moment of silence before saying, "Just concerned... Saw you hit against the table" he explains.Daisy wants him to leave but doesn't know how to go about driving him, she walks to the sink and lets the water flow on her hands to ease her burdens."You aren't supposed to be here?" She gently washed her hands as if she weren't talking to him"Why? Don't I deserve to be with my wife?" Dave demands with a slightly raised browDaisy stutters in her wor
"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
"looking for me, dear wife?" Dave asked in a whisper and leaned closer. Daisy was stunned but didn't let it out as her expression stayed still."I of all people should know better that the almighty heir of Milton's family isn't fun of being beside his teenage wife" Dave lets out a chuckle, and leans closer, enough for his lips to brush against her earlobe." Seems like your brain is slowly losing memory, but just to remind you, you are my wife regardless of my decisions and wherever we go, you stay by my side and be the wife you ought to be" His deep whispering voice made Daisy shiver in fear, she gulped down nervously. Trying to act cool at the sight of his closenessHer eyes caught Britney staring at her with a look that could kill, she pulled away and forced a smile at Dave"As it pleases my husband, I bet we leave now while the celebration is still to begin" Daisy turns and walks away, she doesn't wish to see any more faces from BritneyDave follows behind, and they both take
"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
Daisy walks out of the bath with a towel wrapped around her chest, and Mary follows her behind."It's ok, I can take care of myself now. Thank you" Daisy didn't want her to do everything for her, but now that she feels better, she should try to do things on her own."Sure, Ms.? I can help you out with just anything" Mary offers.Daisy flashes her a smile, "Maybe there'd be but for now, I think I'm fine on my own" Mary nods, "If that's the case, I bet to excuse myself" She bows and turns to leave but Daisy stops her."You made mention of you knowing Dave, how long could that be?"Mary's face brightens, "For been a very long time now, I'll say since he was just a little boy of five or seven" "Wow, that's such a long time. You are his mom" Daisy blurts.Mary's face drops, " so bad he doesn't see me that way. " Daisy felt guilty bringing up such a topic." I'm sorry! " Mary quickly brushed away her sadness." It's nothing I don't mind. So long as he let me stay here and take good care
Daisy felt satisfied seeing how embarrassed Britney looks. She wonders where she going to that only Dave's knows.She settles down on the dining, pour some wine into her tea cup and add some sugar cubes while swirling.Dave stood up and walk his way up the stairs without a word. Daisy didn't mind, it's not like she's expecting him to say a word anyways.Daisy turns to Mary, "mind joining me?" Though she's used to eating alone, Mrs Bella has always been there to accompany her and it feels weird eating alone now.Mary smiles at her, "I dare not, child!"There are rules that forbids the maids from doing certain things and that includes siting at the dining.Daisy frowns, "why not? You must be famished too!" Mary gives her a soft smile, " I'll get myself something later"Daisy looks confused, she stares at the dishes on the table, "I've got more than enough to go around, why stress on things that can easily be handled?" She doesn't understand why she keeps on refusing her offers, "Yo
