Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Ex-wife, My Destination: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Luke’s P.O.V.I admire my little princess who sleeps soundly on the bed in the private jet. Daisy has gone to the restroom. I can’t believe I’m going on my first vacation with my family. It feels unreal.I never thought that after coming to New York, my life would change like this. Meeting Hope, feeling a strong connection with her, meeting Daisy, then learning Hope is my daughter—everything seems so surreal. And now, here we are, flying together in my private jet.Despite all the mistakes I’ve made in the past, I’m grateful for the second chance to be a part of their lives, to be Hope’s father.My trance breaks as the plane suddenly shakes, and Daisy falls onto my lap. My hands automatically grab her bare waist to steady her. She clutches my blazer, and our gazes lock. Our heartbeats quicken, and our breathing becomes heavy because of our proximity.She looks even more beautiful up close. I can sense her body shivering because of my touch on her waist, and I’m getting hard beneath he

Luke’s P.O.V.“Luke…” Listening to Daisy’s voice, I wake up with a jerk and find her standing beside me, her expression tense, while Hope sleeps soundly next to me.“What happened, Daisy?” I ask, concerned. “Is everything alright?”“I…” she hesitates, making me even more anxious.I take her hand in mine and give it a slight squeeze. “Just calm down first and then tell me.”She lets out a deep breath before saying in one go, “Ineedasanitarypad.”“What?” My brows furrow in confusion.What’s happening with her so early in the morning? Why is she acting so strangely? Am I dreaming? Because her behaviour isn't making any sense.She closes her eyes and finally tells me, “My period came early. I need a sanitary pad.”Oh! Thank God. It’s not something serious.I sigh with relief.“Daisy, you scared me.” Listening to my words, she opens her eyes, a hint of embarrassment colouring her cheeks.“Could you please arrange it urgently?” she requests, still worried.I rise from the bed, pulling off t

Daisy’s P.O.V. A Week Later“Hello, Daisy,” Luke answers my call. My heart flutters every time I hear his voice like old times.No matter how hard I try to distance myself from this man, an invisible thread keeps drawing me back to him. But I can’t let myself fall back into that toxic cycle again.“Hey, Luke.” I sit on the bed. “I called you to inform you I have taken an off today, so I’ll pick up Hope from the school.”“So I’m coming over to your apartment.”Coming over to my apartment? Why?“Why?”“Actually, I have planned a surprise for Hope,” he begins. “She told me about her dream yesterday that she has a Barbie doll house. So, I bought one for her. I thought it would be nice if we could set it up together and surprise her when she gets home.”I request, “Luke, please stop spoiling her.”“She is my daughter, Daisy. I—”“Luke, I know you want to fulfil her every demand and need, but I’m afraid the day you decide to leave her, then what will happen? I can’t afford the life which y

Luke’s P.O.V.I’m desperate to comfort Daisy, but what she just asked me to give her, I can’t. I can’t take advantage of her vulnerability because she’s not in a stable mental state right now.“Daisy, I’m sorry. I… can’t.” I stammer because it hurts me to deny her when she needs me.She turns towards me, her eyes teary. “Luke… I feel so dirty. I beg you to make his touch disappear from my body and erase today’s incident from my mind.” She implores, clasping my face and moving closer to me. Her eyes are pleading with me to fulfil her wish. “Please, make me yours.”“Daisy. Please try to understand,” I explain, cupping her face. “You’re not in the right state of mind. What you’re asking for, you’ll hate yourself for it. And…” I pause before adding, “I can’t take advantage of your pain and vulnerability.”“Right now, I don’t care about anything, Luke.” She sobs, pressing her forehead against mine. “I just want you to make me forget everything. It’s driving me insane. Please…”As she begs,

Luke’s P.O.V.“Luke, I can’t sleep.” I open my eyes as I hear Daisy’s voice. I lie beside Hope, with Daisy on the other side of her. “What occurred today is stuck in my mind.”“It’s okay.” I reach my hand over Hope and give a gentle squeeze to Daisy’s hand, keeping my eyes fixed on her. “Relax.”“I can’t relax. It’s driving me crazy.” She gives me a dejected look.I climb down the bed and come over to her side. “Come with me,” I say, clasping her hand.“Where?” She looks at me, confused.“Just come.”She takes off her comforter and rises from the bed. I properly tuck Hope into the blanket and then lead Daisy to the balcony.As we step onto the balcony, the night breeze touches our faces and flutters her hair.“Let’s take a walk. I’m sure it’ll relax you a bit.” I tuck her hair locks behind her ears, and she nods in response.As we walk hand in hand, I ask, breaking the silence to distract her mind. “I want to know some precious moments of Hope and you.”Which I missed because of my st
