Alex’s POVThere was no way Victor would disrespect my daughter by acting like some kind of playboy with other women. Yet I had to be sure I was leaving my daughter with a good man when I was gone.Therefore, I had to see for myself when an old friend called and told me what he had seen Victor doing in Moonglow.When I went inside Moonglow, I discovered my friend was right. Victor had been surrounded by women. They were competing for his attention while he laughed and drank champagne.One of the young tarts even sat in his lap! It was disgraceful for an engaged man.I hurried back to the car and ordered Joseph to take me straight home. I had to decide what I was going to do about the situation.I didn’t have much longer in this world, and Daisy must be protected.My phone rang immediately after my car departed Moonglow. I knew the caller would be Victor.When his identity was confirmed by caller ID, I rejected the call. I had nothing to say to him at this time. Disappointment and a se

Alex’s POV“We need to carry out my plan carefully,” I told Benson. “I need you to help me with the details.”“You know I’ll do anything to help you, Alex,” Benson vowed. “Daisy must not be shackled to a playboy in a loveless marriage.”“We must stop Victor from thinking Daisy is the key to him getting what he wants,” I said.“But how?” Benson asked. “She is your heiress, and her husband will become the next leader.”“We will announce there was a mistake at the genetics lab, and Daisy is not my biological daughter,” I explained. “And then we replace her.”“Why do we have to replace her?” Benson asked.“Because if Victor still wants Daisy when he thinks there is no leadership job to gain from marrying her, we will know he loves her.”Benson looked shocked, but I knew he would understand and help me.“I need you to find a young girl willing to play along with my plan,” I said. “We will say this other girl is my true daughter.”Benson nodded slowly. “If Victor dumps Daisy and romances th

“Daisy, we need to talk about this,” Victor said. “Let’s go outside and walk in the garden.I didn’t want to talk about it. My mind was trying to process what was happening, and it wasn’t handling it well.Leaping to my feet, I shook my head. “Please, Victor, not now. I need to be alone.”Alex’s face grew hard again. “Leave her alone, for now, Victor. “This is a difficult time for her and me.”I ran from the room and rushed upstairs, where I hid in the library. Looking around the space where I spent much of my time, I wondered if Olivia would love this room full of old books like I do.I sat down and hugged one of the throw pillows scattered on the couch while I cried until my nose was clogged and my eyes felt scratchy.While I was wiping my eyes, Benson knocked on the door before popping his head inside. “Are you alright, Miss Wilson?”“I’m not Miss Wilson, Benson.” Fresh tears ran down my face as I said the words. “You should call me Daisy for however long I’ll be here.”Alex said I

My heart pounded, and my legs felt rubbery as I leaned against my oak front door and waited to open it for Victor.I wanted to see him. I missed him and needed the way he made me feel like I could do anything. But I knew his being here had to be the end of our relationship.No, it wasn’t a relationship. It was only an arrangement, similar to a business deal.If I were Alex’s daughter, our deal would have worked out well for him. Now that we knew I wasn’t, I felt guilty for the time he wasted with me. All of his efforts, like teaching me how to dance and how to be a CEO, had been a waste of his time.But I enjoyed pretending to be his fiancée until things got carried away, and I ended up caring about him more than I should.I will remember our one incredible kiss for the rest of my life. There was something about Victor that just the touch of his hand made me tingle.There was a knock on the door. He was here, and I knew what I had to do. A fake engagement with a counterfeit heiress wo

Okay, Daisy, you win,” Victor said, and I heard him walk out the door.I closed it behind him and ran to my bedroom. Collapsing onto my new bed, I began to sob. I punched the pillows a few times and soon felt drained.I was finally happy living with Alex in his mansion. I had a father, friends in the servants, and two handsome male friends.Why did everything have to be taken away from me?“Self-pity isn’t any better than someone else pitying you,” I told myself and swung my legs off the mattress to sit on the edge of the bed. “Many people would love to have what you do.”Besides, Victor would have married somebody else one day. What did it matter if it was Olivia?I stood and went to the double glass doors that led onto my new balcony. Pushing one side open, I stepped outside.I closed my eyes as the sun’s rays touched my face. I was outside, but being outside in the city was an entirely different experience from being outside in the country.The sounds of traffic and some machinery
