She is back

DAISY’S POV ~“Congratulations, Daisy. You are four weeks pregnant.”The doctor’s words keep ringing in my ears as I leave the hospital. Even now, sitting in the back of the taxi, I still can't believe it.Is this real? Is there really a life living inside me?With shaky hands, I pull out the ultrasound from my bag and stare at the tiny, grainy image. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.This is not a dream.I feel like shouting to the world that I'm pregnant, that I'm finally going to be a mother after three years of negative tests that broke my heart piece by piece every single month. For three years, I have also endured Sebastian’s coldness.He grew distant from me, always sleeping with his back turned to me every night and he doesn’t even look at me anymore.But this baby? This baby is ours. This little gift growing inside my belly will bring Sebastian back to me and we are going to be a joyful family again.Happy tears fill up my eyes. I have been in love with Sebasti

Happy birthday to me

DAISY’S POV ~Abort it…Abort it…Abort it…My head is spinning with those words, my heart shattering into a million pieces. I can’t breathe. I can’t think. I can’t even do anything when he ignores me and walks past me, leaving me alone on my knees in the midst of the shredded remains of my happiness, my body surrounded with the torn fragments of my baby’s first picture. What the hell just happened?What the hell did he just say to me?Abort my baby? Our baby?No. He can’t mean that. He doesn’t mean that.“Bastian wait!” I hurriedly rise to my feet, my legs nearly giving out beneath me as I run after him. But he is already at the door, his phone pressed to his ear.“Vanessa, where are you?” There is fear and pain in his voice and he also sounds desperate in a way he has never sounded for me. “Baby, please answer me. I’m coming to find you right now.”Baby. He called her baby.“Sebastian!” I reach the living room, still holding onto the railing of the stairs. “Don't leave! We need to

The proposal

DAISY’S POV ~I can't believe my eyes right now.But it's real. Very real.Tears blur my vision as I watch my husband acting lovey-dovey with another woman in front of the world. Right there in the show, they are welcomed and ushered to make themselves comfortable on plush white couch.They are still holding hands, and now, they are smiling at the camera.“So tell us, Mr. King, what's it like having the love of your life back?” The host asks with a bright smile.The question hangs in the air for a while as Sebastian, the man I have loved for years, looks at Vanessa with eyes full of love.“It feels like I'm finally complete.” he answers softly as he keeps looking at Vanessa like she is the only one for him. Tears flow down my cheeks as I watch Vanessa plant a kiss on their intertwined hands while the host continues smiling dreamily.“So, Miss Morgan,” she refers to Vanessa, “Everyone wants to know what was it like for you to come back after all this time?”Vanessa dabs at her eyes wit

Yet, another heart break

Daisy's POV ~Humiliated beyond words, I grab my purse and rush towards the exit.Outside the restaurant, my phone buzzes in my purse and I pull it out with shaky hands.The buzz is from a notification. A tagged post on social media.Someone has already uploaded a crying video of me sitting in that restaurant, with the caption: ‘Daisy Sinclair watching her husband propose to another woman LIVE #Karma #TrueLoveWins #PatheticEx’And the post already has thousands of views with people celebrating my pain in the comments.I can't see through my tears as I run towards my car after tucking the phone back into my purse. People are staring at me as I run past them, but I don't care anymore.Let them look. Let them record. Let them post it online for the world to mock me.Nothing matters anymore.My hands are trembling so badly that I drop my car keys twice before I manage to unlock the door of my car.The moment I’m inside, I rest my head on the steering wheel and cry my ears out.The image

Return everything to vanessa

DAISY POV ~I can't believe she just said those words to me. I can't.Where did it all go wrong? These are my parents, the same people who showered me with love and care, the same people who stood by me during every milestone I have ever achieved in life.But now, they are the same people hurting me in the worst way possible.“Mum, you don't mean that,” my voice breaks and I turn to my Dad. “Dad, how can you let her say those words to me? I'm your daughter. Your Daisy.”“That’s the biggest lie of all,” he throws the words at me, his face suddenly twisting into a sneer I have never seen on him before.What did he just say?“Dad, I–I don't understand.”“We raised you,” My mom says and steps closer to me, and for the first time in my life, I am genuinely terrified of the woman who used to read me bedtime stories.“We poured our love, our money, our time into you.” She continues. “We did all that while our real daughter was starving and rotting away in the slums.” She sobs, pointing at Va

The Truth Of It All.

Daisy POVSebastian.My heart stops beating for a second when I see him standing there in the doorway, his eyes instantly locking onto mine.Maybe it is best that he is here.Maybe this is my chance to finally show him the truth. A chance for him to finally see Vanessa for who she really is.“What the fuck are you doing here in my house?”The sharpness of his voice makes me flinch, but I force myself to stand my ground. His eyes are cold and deadly as though he is looking at a thief who trespassed into his house and not the woman he has been married to for years.“Bast..” I instantly stop myself from completing that nickname. “I’m here because there is something you need to see,” I finish, holding up the envelope for him to see the contents“I don’t want to see or hear anything from you,” He says sharply, taking a step closer. “I asked you a fucking question Daisy. What are you doing in my house?”“Your house? This is my house too. I’m still your wife Sebastian.”“Not for long.” He la

Finally Leaving.

~ DAISY’S POV ~Later, about fifteen minutes passes with no sign of Logan.He is probably still on the way.“Daisy, I’ll be there in fifteen minutes, traffic is delaying me a bit,” he says through the phone. “Just stay where you are and wait for me.”“No problem,” I reply.However, my feet are already moving towards the stairs. I can’t just stand here and wait. I need to see it with my own eyes. I need to see the proof that Sebastian really meant what he said on that television interview.The divorce papers.My legs carry me up the stairs and down the hallway to Sebastian’s study office, a room I’ve been forbidden from entering since we got married. He always locks it, claiming he needs privacy for his work.But today, the door is unlocked.And I suddenly have this gut-punching feeling that the door is unlocked because he finally doesn’t care enough to hide anything from me anymore.Slowly, I push the door open and step inside. The room smells like leather and his cologne, and for a m

Queen.

~ DAISY’S POV ~The next morning, I quickly find myself at Auckland Children’s Hospital, already seated in the doctor’s office. The fluorescent lights buzz overhead as I stare at Dr. Richardson’s certificates and numerous awards hanging on the shelves.Okay. I think he’s good at his job.However, his silence and the sterile white walls of his office are making me feel like I am an experiment in a lab or something.Scratch that, I am anxious.My hands are clasped tightly in my lap, my nails digging into my palms as I wait for him to speak. He is looking at charts, probably some medical files or test results that are demanding his attention the same way I am demanding his own.“Ms. Matthews,” he finally speaks, removing his glasses and meeting my eyes with an expression that makes my stomach drop. “We need to talk about Mason.”My heart nearly stops at the mention of my son’s name. “What’s wrong?”“His initial blood work came back normal, but when we ran the extended panel you requested

Amnesia

~ SEBASTIAN’S POV ~No. She is lying.She has to be lying.There is no way Daisy is standing in front of me, draped in this designer outfit, expensive jewelry, and pretending she doesn’t know who I am.She knows me. Those are the same eyes that used to look at me with love. Those are the same lips that used to smile at me whenever I came home, even when I treated her like shit.This is Daisy. My Daisy—No. She’s not mine anymore.But she’s still Daisy.“Stop playing games,” I say through gritted teeth, stepping closer to her. “I know it’s you, Daisy. You’re my ex-wife—”“Ex-wife?” She scoffs and raises one perfectly sculpted eyebrow at me, her face looking so calm. “I’m sorry sir, but you’re clearly wrong. I have never been married.”Never been married?Is she fucking serious right now?!“Daisy, you can’t just pretend—”“Sir,” she interrupts, her voice carrying just enough ice to make me flinch. “I don’t know who this Daisy person is, but I can assure you, that’s not my Daisy. Perhaps

What A Fool!

~ DAISY’S POV ~The moment I’m safely inside my hotel suite, I burst out laughing.I can’t help it. The look on Sebastian’s face when I pretended not to recognize him was absolutely priceless. His shock, his confusion, the way he actually believed I could forget the man who destroyed my life…Dear God, it felt too good to be true.“Did he take the bait?” Catherine asks, pouring herself a glass of champagne from the bar.“Hook, line, and sinker,” I say, still laughing as I kick off my Louboutins and collapse onto the velvet sofa. “You should have seen him, Cat. He actually thought I had amnesia, like I could ever forget what his bastard soul did to me.”Catherine raises her glass. “This is a toast to your brilliant acting skills. That performance deserves another Oscar.”“I will drink to that,” I laugh, accepting the glass she hands me.The amnesia angle was actually Catherine’s idea. When I told her I needed to come back to this country to save Mason, she suggested we create a cover s
