The Mayor's Ball

The journey back to Fairview was mostly intimate for Brett and Daisy. They lounged in each other's embrace for most part of their journey home. And when they landed at Fairview, they headed straight to Brett's penthouse. Besides, the coast was now totally clear. The new week started with Daisy on hyper. Brett got Derin to draw up their prenup while they plan on the best day to break the news of their engagement. Fortunately, a day presented itself two days later when the Mayor invited Brett to the town's annual fundraiser Ball with the plan of channeling all the profits gotten from the event towards building more shelter for the impoverished.That night, Daisy and Brett got busy with their outfits. She slid the strapless gown Brett bought for her for the purpose of the party, over her matching bustier. When Brett came in, she literally stopped breathing. Her gaze drank in his reflection in the mirror. Standing behind her in a tuxedo tailored just for him.He was dazzling. So gorgeo

Fiancé

Daisy wrinkled her nose a little, knowing her world was going to change drastically once her single-girl self was subsumed by her identity as Daisy Lexington. "Come on, Gorgeous." They headed over there, weaving through round tables covered in white linens and decorated with golden ribbons and multiple colors of floral garlands that added an absolute wonderful fragrance to the room. Gibson Rayant spotted Brett first. He didn't seem to even recognize Daisy until Brett quite obviously deferred to her by letting her speak first. "Good evening," she said, shaking Emily's and Gibson's hands. "I know you’re both familiar with Brett Lexington, my..." she paused, her brain grinding to a halt. "Fiancé," Brett finished, shaking hands. Congratulations were exchanged. smiles got bigger, eyes brighter and Gibson suddenly shined his eyes in recognition."Honey," he called to his wife. "She works with Donald Reins. Miss Ledwig, right?"He turned to Daisy. She nodded. "Oh my, congratulations on

Confrontation

Leaning into Brett, Daisy whispered, "I have to use the restroom." His head swiveled toward me. "Everything okay?" She nodded. "I'll be right back." She told him. He helped with her seat and she left towards the restroom. She'd just made it past the ballroom entrance, when she ran into a familiar face. "Sheila," She said in surprise, stopping. "I didn’t know you were here." "Daisy...," Sheila called sweetly. "Actually, my boyfriend was wrapped up in a project, so we ran a little late. Missed dinner entirely, but at least I got my hands on one of those strawberry things they served for dessert." "Badass." Daisy said. "Totally." Sheila smiled. Daisy took Sheila's appearance in. She looked really good. Softer, sweeter. Still stunning and sultry in an off sleeve silver dress. Getting away from Manuel Hampton had done her a lot of good. And having a new man in her life surely helped. But then the thought that she could let herself get manipulated into sleeping with Manuel, a

Putting Adversaries In their Place

Daisy left Marielle behind before she would open her mouth again and ruined her night. When she started heading toward her table, she saw Sheila Robin sitting in her seat, talking to Brett. "He's still got the hots for her. I believe he fucked her a lot, just like his other women." Daisy stiffened and turned toward the woman talking to her. It was Gloria Hampton. Gloria offered a bland kind of smile and touched Daisy on the arm, like they've known each other for a very long time. "You should watch out for him," she said, looking at Brett. "He's a user. He uses women. I’ve seen it happen before, countless times. More than it should." "I can handle myself." Daisy told her in the kindest voice. She smiled. "They all say that." Her sympathetic smile rubbed Daisy the wrong way, that she turned and pushed her hair behind her ears, showing off her engagement ring in the process. That particular action caught Gloria unaware and she stared at the precious stone in absolute shock. Bu

Me And You, Against The World

Daisy hurried back to Brett. He stood when she reached him. "I need you real quick," she said briskly, noting Sheila's absence. She caught Brett's hand and tugged. "Come on." "Alright, let's go." He replied and rushed down with her. Once they located a somewhat secluded spot, Brett stopped. "What's wrong, what the hell is the rush?" He asked.She stopped and looked out over the room, searching for Gloria. "Gloria fucking Hampton ambushed me." She explained.His hand tightened on hers. "I've been checking to see her since the dancefloor, but I haven't. Where is she and what did she say to you.""Some shit any scorned ex would say to the woman that they believe took their position." She said, still looking around for Gloria. "You haven't seen her all through the night?""No," he shook his head, following the direction of her eyes. "Christ Brett. It isn't so hard to notice her. She would be somewhere in this room.""Well, forgive me for having eyes only for the love of my life," he

APPRECIATION

Dear Reader, Sadly we have come to the end of Brett and Daisy's journey. It's been such a beautiful one no doubt. And I'm so grateful we went down this route together. If you enjoyed reading about Brett and Daisy, then don't forget to drop a kind review for me. I know you must be wondering what happened to Ugo Chike. If you are, then you have to see for yourself in my next book, "THE BADASS MAFIA BOSS QUEEN" (already out). The next chapters are free chapters from the book. Thank you so much Darlings, for all the love, support and encouragement.

TWO

UGO I took in the orderliness of the little room that had always served as my safe space for the longest time. All my childhood memories were still intact, almost as I had left them. My mother had taken it upon herself to preserve all the good memories, making sure not to alter the shape of the room and the position of things as I left them. I tried recalling the last time I visited Lilycity. It's been well over two years. Fairview had found a way to draw me into its tight grasp and sapped me off all my free time. I sighed, recalling my mother's tears at the airport when she came to pick me up. I was initially skeptical that she would be the one to pick me up, but then she somehow managed to convince me with my father's support that she has recovered perfectly since her intestinal surgery. "Poor woman." I murmured regrettably. Pulling my hair into a tight bun, I sat down on the only chair in my room, took in the beauty of the modest-looking room and smiled. What my room lacked in
