Daisy's POVThe car stops beside the big fountain with water gushing out from somewhere, making me stare in awe and dismissing my curiosity about his statement just before the car entered through the automatic gate of his parent's mansion.He asked me to play along and I have no idea what he means by that. I was about to question him on what he meant before the car jeered its way into the big courtyard revealing the grand mansion.Alex gets down from the car before I can process the fact that not only is Alex wealthy but his parents are too and they will expect a lot from the woman he has brought home to introduce as his girlfriend and future baby mama.He told me all about how he wanted me to pretend to be his girlfriend. I accept the terms because I see no reason why I shouldn't. I already agreed to carry his baby, she could hurt more than birthing a child and leaving that child to a total stranger.Suddenly, fear grips my entire existence and my hands tremble.The car door swings o
Alex's POVThey are watching our every move. Every gesture. We finish eating and the maids appear to clear out the remaining dishes and our almost empty plates.I notice Daisy barely touched her meal. She was just picking at it and I'm sure it is a result of her apprehension."What is your name, baby?" My mother questions after downing the remaining content of her fruit juice, her eyes brimming with delight as she stares at Daisy.My hand is no longer on hers. I only do something whenever my parents' gaze is fixed on us."My name is Daisy", she replies with a smile and I do the same. "Daisy? Wow, what a beautiful name for a beautiful lady", Mother compliments and she chuckles a little while my Father nods in approval.I know I made the right choice. Her beauty was hidden. I didn't see the beauty when we first met. It was concealed by her tears, ruined makeup, and disheveled hair, yet I wanted her.While shopping two days ago, when I picked interest in one of the dresses which I thou
Daisy's POVThe ride back home is in extreme silence. I wish he would just answer my question and break the awkward silence but he is bent on keeping silent and keeping me in the dark for as long as he wants.This is unfair on my part. Extremely unfair.I am scared. Meeting with his lovely parents and seeing how much they love me already isn't doing any good to put a stop to my fears.His silence is only adding to it.He lied. On my behalf. We didn't discuss this. I might be the one at the receiving end and also the one to benefit most from this deal but I deserve to know certain things such as this.Why did he lie? Why didn't he inform me beforehand that he was going to lie to his mother about my real identity?What if they find out, how will I defend myself? Will they continue liking me even if they find out everything was lies?I sigh heavily and look out of the window as the car enters through the gate into his mansion. Everywhere is silent already and I can't wait to get into
Ryan's POVIt is 3 pm. Kelvin is driving me to Daisy's school and I am going through some paper works at the back of the car in silence.I don't know how long it will take us at the hospital considering the time of the appointment which is why I came along with them. There are important and I need to finish up with them before tomorrow morning.When we get to the hospital, I will keep them aside till we get home. If we leave the hospital early, then I will go back to the office to round up.Wondering what type of clothes Daisy must be wearing today, my attention becomes divided.I look up to see that Kelvin is slowing down in front of the campus gate. Students are trooping out already and I quickly drop the paper in my hand so I can give her a call.It rings. But there is no answer.I dial the number again and it rings for a while before going to voicemail.I told her to always keep her phone beside her, especially when I want to come to pick her up from school. How will I find her
Daisy's POVMy eyes flutter open as a wave of dizziness and nausea sweeps through me.Just then, a soft knock comes to the door.Now I don't know if I woke up because of nausea or because of the knock. Before I can open my mouth to answer the door, it hits me again, making me scramble out of bed and head for the bathroom with my hands over my mouth.Just before I get to the toilet seat, I lose my strength and puke on the floor. Quickly, I open the toilet seat and puke into it.A growl escapes my mouth as I puke with all my strength.Trying to avoid staining my silk nightwear, I move closer till I have no strength anymore."Daisy?" Someone calls out from behind and I recognize the voice to be Alex. "Dammit, what happened?"I can't answer him. My eyes are closed and my head is still hanging down in exhaustion.Alex raises my head and splashes water from a bowl on my face. "Are you ok?"I can't talk.He continues to splash water on my body, making me feel cold all of a sudden. Maybe I t
Alex's POVDistraction is something that rarely happens to me whenever I am at work. I am always focused on work because it is important and this is my life but today, I am a little distracted because another part of my life is at home.I am troubled about Daisy and the baby. The doctor said they are fine and we can come back next time for an ultrasound.Daisy has been really weak since she threw up this morning and I almost skipped work because of that. I am deeply don'tied about her and I wonder why she is feeling this way even after the doctor announced that she is healthy enough to carry the baby.I still can't believe that puke was normal. How can someone throw up that much and still not have any appetite to eat?Pushing the paper in front of me away and dropping my pen, I pick up my phone and dial Natasha's number.It rings and she picks on the second ring."Hi, Natasha", I say into the phone, leaning backward on the chair. This is the only thing that can make me concentrate. At
Daisy's POVFeeling much better than I felt this morning, I take a shower and also wash my hair.With a towel on my head drying out the liquid and another white towel around my bosom, I walk out of the bathroom, my flip-flop making a flip-flip sound as I walk to the dresser.Watching myself in the mirror, the memories of what happened this morning come rushing; how I threw up everything I ate last night and how I couldn't eat much, probably because I had no appetite or because it was Alex feeding me and it felt so uncomfortable.I would have gone for the latter but since he left, I haven't had any other thing except doughnuts.I love them. And there are many of them here. In the kitchen.I ate two with orange juice before going back to bed. When I woke up, I felt better, which was the reason why I decided to take a bath before Alex comes back home.I don't want him to be worried about me or the baby. By the time he is back, I will be my normal self and he will have no cause for alarm.
Alex's POVIt's been a month already and I still haven't gotten used to the idea of having a woman at home, pregnant with no huge appetite like I know of other women.I still haven't been able to get rid of the constant distractions at the office either. I always watch my phone, expecting it to ring at any time.Sometimes, I wonder if I am desperate for some bad news because I focus more on my phone than my work.The doctor said everything is going fine but I still can't help the worry I feel whenever I leave for work in the morning and when I get home at night.Daisy is a strong woman indeed. She tries to hide how she feels most times and there is nothing I can do since she doesn't want me to know where it hurts and where it doesn't.Because I didn't want her to be going back and forth in school because of the stress and the baby, I employed a driver for her. He takes her to school and back from school. Whenever she wants to visit my Mother while I am at work, he takes her there too.
