Chapter Five - I have kids?

Dickson's POV

Five years later.

"Mr Dickson, Daisy Reed is the top investor in this project. She has agreed to meet with us at a fancy restaurant across town."

My heart races extremely fast at the mention of Daisy Reed, Daisy? As in my Daisy? The same lady I divorced five years ago?

"Can I see a picture?" I ask my secretary hastily. She nods her head in agreement and taps a few buttons on her phone screen. She turns to me and hands me the phone. I stare at the screen in awe, a photo of Daisy smiling. My jaw drops at how beautiful she has gotten over the years. She looks like she is doing well, financially and emotionally.

After Daisy and I could not bear a child. I had no choice but to divorce her, out of popular demand from the pack elders. Daisy was thrown out of the house and ever since, I never got to see her.

I tried searching for Daisy but I never found her, it was like she did not want to be found, she just left without any traces. Seeing her again makes me feel emotional, it rekindles old feelings that I thought I had buried over the years. I suddenly feel ashamed at the thought of meeting her, as curious as I am to see how she is doing, I would rather ask someone to do that than for to me to meet her myself.

"Is she married?" I ask my secretary. She shrugs and responds. "I am not sure about that sir, do you want me to find out?"

"Yes, please do. Find out everything about her. What is she up to now? Is she married with kids?" I ordered. My secretary nods her head at me. She clears her throat and pushes further "What about the meeting? You are supposed to meet her at a fancy restaurant in the next thirty minutes." She says.

I sigh heavily. "You meet up with her. I am swamped with work. Just make sure to gather information about her as I had requested earlier." I state. My secretary nods her head and excuses herself from my office.

I go back to working on my laptop but my mind remains on Daisy and her wellbeing. Somehow, knowing that she is living an okay life, it feels like a burden has been lifted off my shoulders. I feel less guilty knowing that she is doing well.

Before the day ends, My secretary arrives back at the office. She tells me that the meeting went well with Daisy and that Daisy is more than excited to invest in my company.

I can not help but ask. "What about the information I told you to gather? Were you able to at least find one or two things about her?" I ask with my brows furrowed at her in curiosity. My secretary nods her head at me slowly and speaks up in an uneasy tone. "Well first of all, Miss Daisy is a very secretive person. There is not much on the internet about her but I found out that she is not married, although she has kids."

Daisy has kids? How come?

"How old are they? Was she married before? How come she has kids with no father?" I push further.

"She has Quadruplets, they are five years old and no, she has not been married since five years ago. Not after her divorce with youSir." Rita, my secretary says. I see that she has caught up with what is going on.

Everything seems suspicious. Daisy has not gotten married since our divorce which was five years ago. How then did she have Quadruplets? Through a one night stand maybe? Then what sort of coincidence is that they happen to be five years old?

Could it be that those kids are mine? I gulp a lump down my throat and my hands suddenly become shaky as I imagine that Daisy hid those kids from me, why? For what reason? Does that mean she actually wanted to divorce me?

"Is it possible for you to arrange a meeting with Daisy? Send an email to her that the CEO of the company wants to have an urgent discussion with her." I say. Rita nods her head and walks away.

Two days later, Rita is able to set up a meeting between I and Daisy At a small restaurant. I feel anxious as I approach the exclusive restaurant. I stare at Daisy from the glass doors. She looks extremely stunning in a corporate dress. She sits eloquently and her eyes remain fixated on her phone.

I brace myself for the worse as I push the restaurant doors open. I approach Daisy and halt in my steps right in front of her. I force a smile on my face and wave at her as she rises to her feet and stares at me in what looks like awe.

"Dickson." She mutters. She points to the empty seat in front of her and gestures to me to sit, which I gladly obey. I sit down and so does Daisy.

"It has been a while. Have you been well?" She asks.

I nod my head in agreement and direct the question to her. "What about you? Have you been doing well? What about your kids? Are they doing okay? I heard you have kids and you are not married."

Daisy looks taken aback by my sudden discovery. She scoffs and raises a brow at me. "Really? I thought we were to talk business but I should have known when your secretary insisted that it was an urgent meeting." Daisy snaps at me. She rises to her feet and attempts to walk away but I hastily grab her by the wrist causing her to gaze at me.

"Let go of Dickson. We are only business partners. My personal life has nothing to do with you."

I ignore her and ask the question I have been meaning to ask since I saw her. "Am I the father of those kids?"
