What could be Daisy's reason for doing this? Any thoughts?
Anaya looked out the window of the cafe, waiting for Margeret to arrive. It had taken a whole amount of willpower for her to step out of her apartment and into the world again.Maia has been her supporter, motivating her to take the right steps for their plans to work out and meeting with Henry’s mother was just the first step to the plan they crafted.The door to the cafe opened up and Anaya saw Margeret searching the building before her eyes finally fell on her. The elegantly dressed woman walked up towards her and she could see the sadness behind her eyes.“Oh, God, Anaya.” Margeret held her closely. “You look so worn out. Have you been eating well?” Anaya looked away, trying to hide her face behind her hair. When she had looked in the mirror that night after Maia left her apartment, she had the same reaction as Margeret.Dark circles surrounded her eyes and her skin was flaky and dry. Her cheekbones had sunken so low, her bones were sticking out. She looked like a ghost. Worse, t
Anaya rested on Maia’s shoulders after she had cried her heart out. She didn’t know how much she needed to be comforted and heard until Maia had given her that opportunity.Her emotions had choked her up for the last few days up to the point that she thought she was going to die in her apartment all alone only for her dead body to be discovered weeks later.Now, she had the chance to let everything out and she felt much better. Not totally fine but at least, better than she was before Maia came.“Do you feel better now?” Maia asked as Anaya pulled away.“Yes.” Anaya nodded as she sniffed. “Thank you for coming.” “It’s fine.” Maia looked down at her fingers as though she was contemplating what to say next. “What happened, boss? I would need details to know what we can do next.”“There’s nothing left to do, Maia. Daisy has succeeded in destroying the little happiness I could find and I don’t have the energy to even fight anymore.” Anaya muttered.“But are you just going to give up lik
In the darkness, Anaya rested her head on the wall behind her, staring at the dull painting in the room in her apartment. It has been five days. Five days since she cooked lunch for her stepson and he was rushed to the hospital for poisoning. And five days since her marriage had taken a strain, a dent too big she feared it couldn’t be fixed.Henry hadn’t called her all this while and neither had she tried to contact him. She was dying to know how Ryle was doing but she didn’t dare step foot close to the hospital because she was scared.She has been having bad dreams so far of someone trying to kill her and she wasn’t sure which was real and which was not. She even dreamed about her mother last night and she had cried so hard she nearly collapsed.The four walls of her apartment had been the only thing she had seen for the past days. Henry had been generous enough to send all her stuff to her house so she didn’t even have to lift a finger. The boxes were exactly where they were droppe
“I didn’t do anything.” Anaya said as she sat on the bench with Margeret. The doctor had moved Ryle to a private room but Henry banned anyone from seeing him until the investigation was over.“I swear, Margeret. I would rather drink that poison than feed it to Ryle. Why would I even want to harm him in the first place?”“I know. We all know that. Henry just want to take correct measures to ensure the culprit is found.” Margeret patted her hand gently as she said.“No, I saw it.” Anaya muttered, goosebumps filling her skin from the evening breeze. “I saw the look in his eyes. He suspects me.” Anaya saw how Henry stared at her when Stella told him that she was the one who cooked lunch for Ryle. His first instinct wasn’t to trust her but it was to doubt her. This was the result of what Daisy had done.She has made Henry lose all trust for her and now, he didn’t even find it absurd that she would want to kill Ryle.Ryle was the best thing she had gotten from her marriage to Henry and she
“And we can have that placed here.” Henry motioned to the spot on the laptop. “It doesn’t have to be elaborate but just enough to show that–”He was interrupted with the vibration of his phone. “I’m sorry.” He checked the caller’s ID and saw it was Anaya calling. He wanted to pick up but he was almost done with the meeting so he silenced his phone.“As I was saying, I don’t know what you think but the product should be enough to–” He received a text from Anaya and he apologized to the client before opening the message.His heart stopped for a moment too long when he saw the message.Ryle’s in the hospital. You need to come over now!Without wasting a second, he ran out of the conference room, ordering Alex to get the car started. In less than an hour, he arrived at the hospital address Anaya sent and asked for his son.“Henry.” He ran down the corridor when he saw Anaya with his mother and sister standing in the waiting room. Anaya was in tears and his mother was comforting her. Even
“Mommy Anaya!” Ryle ran into her room with a wide smile.She looked up from her laptop to see he was still in his uniform with his backpack which meant he just came back from school. “Hey, handsome. How was school?” She smiled at him despite the fact that she was still feeling sad about this morning.Henry had given her a therapist number even though he claimed he was wrong for not believing her last night. She didn’t know what she could do to convince him that the story Daisy was feeding him wasn’t true. After he left for work, she broke down in tears and cried herself to sleep. She only woke up a few hours ago and decided to do some work on her laptop as she didn’t have the willpower to head to the office today.“School was fine. I got an A plus in my test today.” Ryle said excitedly as he showed her the paper.“Really?” She gasped animatedly which made him giggle. He handed her the test paper and she saw he got all the questions correctly. “That’s brilliant. If you continue to be
