Rejected

~ SEBASTIAN’S POV ~“She did what?!”I stare at the hotel staff member standing in front of me for what feels like forever, convinced I didn’t hear him correctly.“Ms. Matthews….um… she asked us to donate the roses to the hospital, sir,” he repeats nervously, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallows hard.She rejected me. She rejected my flowers.This has never happened before. Not to me. Not to Sebastian King.Especially not from her.Daisy worshipped the ground I walked on. She would even believe me if I told her that the sky is red. That was how much she loved me. How blindly in love she was.She would have done anything for me.“She also wanted me to tell you that she’s allergic to roses and that her favorite flowers are white lilies.”‘She is allergic to roses.’The words replay in my head like a bad joke.But that can’t be right. Daisy loved roses. She used to smile whenever I got them for her even though she’d start sneezing right after. I always thought she was just being drama

A Date.

Sebastian's POV: I still can't believe my eyes right now.I still can't believe that I am staring at the smug chiseled face of the man standing in front of me.Logan. Logan Pierce. Daisy’s childhood best friend and my former classmate.The name brings back memories that make bile rise on my tongue. We went to the same college, and worse, we were rivals and always competing and on each other's necks. It also didn't help that he and Daisy were inseparable while growing up.They were literally glued together like they were joined to the hip.I haven't seen him since after my wedding with Daisy, and honestly, I was perfectly fine with that arrangement. He was the only person who ever came close to beating me at anything, and I hated him for it.Daisy used to talk so much about him before I made her cut ties with everyone from her past. Especially him.I hated his guts then.I STILL hate his guts.And now, he is here, spinning Daisy around like they are in some kind of romantic movie.Dai

She'll Always Choose Me

~ SEBASTIAN’S POV ~My ears must be playing games with me.She… she didn't just—“Well you are in luck. I know just the perfect place.” Logan says, dragging me back to this torture and he even dares to offer her his arm like he is some knight in shining armor ready to whisk the princess away.I want to smash his face. I want to feel his bones crack under my fists or better still hear him choke as I wrap my hands around his neck and squeeze until he is gasping for air.However, I can’t bring myself to do any of that. Daisy won't like it, and my goal is to woo her and not make her hate me more.“Then let's go,” Daisy says, moving to loop her arm through his own without a second thought. No hesitation.But then, he looks in my direction. “Daisy, what about him?” Logan asks in an almost pitiful voice. “He looks like he came here to pick you up.”My heart stops.This is it.This is the moment where Daisy should at least remember something about me or even appreciate my effort about the fl

Purple Lilies.

~ DAISY’S POV ~“BUSINESS TYCOON SEBASTIAN KING STOOD UP BY HIS DATE, ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY ICON DAISY MATTHEWS.”My lips curl into a smile as I stare at the headline on my phone screen. The photo beneath it is even better.Sebastian. He is standing alone in the middle of the parking lot and holding those ridiculous white lilies and looking absolutely pathetic.I zoom in on his face.He looks like a lost puppy, as if someone just ripped his entire world apart.God, this feels so good.A sharper smile tugs at my lips as I scroll through more photos. There is one where his shoulders are slumped. There is another one where he is staring at Logan’s car driving away.And my personal favorite… well, I love it so much because in the photo, he is standing in the midst of dozens of photographers and looking like the complete idiot he is.Unable to hold back myself, I laugh.This is perfect. So absolutely perfect.“Ms. Matthews, are you ready for your scene?” Someone calls from outside my trai

Shock Of Her Life.

~ DAISY'S POV ~“Oh my God Daisy! Who is he?”“These are gorgeous!”“You have to tell us who your secret admirer is!”I look up from my script to see my crew mates gathered around me, gushing over something.We have just finished shooting a scene and we are currently on a break.“What are you all talking about?” I ask.“Come over here,” one of them gently pushes me forward.And right then, I see it.Another bouquet of flowers.But this time, they are purple lilies. I also see another bouquet. All purple lilies again.And sitting beside them is a black velvet box.My stomach drops at the sight.Sebastian.Why can't the asshole just take a hint?“These just arrived for you,” my assistant says, practically jumping with excitement. “And look at this!”She opens the velvet box, revealing a diamond necklace.An actual diamond necklace.The stones sparkle under the sunlight, and I can tell just by looking at it that it is worth more than most people make in a year.“Holy shit,” someone whisp

Arrested

~ DAISY’S POV ~I am still frozen on my spot. Completely frozen. My feet feel like they have been cemented to the floor and my breath is caught somewhere between my lungs and my throat.My Maddie is in Sebastian’s arms wearing the same yellow dress I put on her this morning. The same yellow dress with the little sunflowers on the collar that she threw a fit about, insisting she wanted to wear her pink dress instead.And now, that same yellow dress is soaked in red.Everything around me is a messy blur of the nurses rushing past me, the machines beeping in the distance… everything is just a noise in my head because all I see is Maddie’s pale face and her body that is on that stretcher and being wheeled away.I have to move. I need to hold her in my hands and feel her.Come on Daisy, move.The blur instantly disappears and everything happening in the emergency ward finally registers in my brain, jolting me back to life. My legs move.And suddenly, I am running. Running after them. Runni

He's Innocent, Mummy!

~ DAISY'S POV ~About fifteen minutes later, the police arrive and I perch myself by the side of the corridor with my sunglasses on, completely hidden from plain sight as I watch Sebastian getting led out of the hospital by the three officers.Two of him have him by the arms to ensure he won't escape. His face looks both stunned but still calm. His expensive suit is wrinkled, his dark hair disheveled.He is not fighting them, but his jaw is clenched tight as he keeps pleading his innocence.“This is all a big misunderstanding. Yes I hit her, but I didn't run away. I mean I brought her here to this hospital and now I need to see the child.”“You will have your chance to speak at the station, Mr. King,” one of the officers replies.Beautiful. Let him suffer. Let him he disgraced. He hit my daughter. He could have killed her.Even though he looks genuinely worried, I don't bloody care.As the officers lead him past my hiding spot, his head turns slightly as if he can senses my presence.

Engaged

~ DAISY'S POV ~Another episode?!God, what is happening to me today?!I dash out of the hospital but before then, I meet Maddie's attending doctor on the way and I tell her about my absence.Done, I leave the hospital and get into my car.The drive back home feels like the longest twenty minutes of my life. There is little traffic and my heart is pounding in my chest as I hit the gas after the traffic clears up.God, I need to get to my boy. Please help me.Finally, I arrive him and the second I pull into the driveway, I am out of the car and running towards the door.But before I can reach the door, I see an ambulance already pulling away from the curb.I chase after the car, waving my arms. “Wait! That's my son!”But the ambulance doesn't stop.Quickly, I jump back in my car and follow the ambulance, my vision blurring with tears.To my relief, the ambulance pulls into the same hospital where Maddie currently is.The moment I arrive at the hospital again, I abandon my car in the pa

He's What?

~ DAISY’S POV ~I am sitting in Mason’s hospital room the next morning when my phone buzzes.It is a message from Catherine. She sent a link with three shocked emojis.What is this?Curious, I click the link.And instantly, my heart stops at the headline of the post that reads: SEBASTIAN KING ENGAGED TO NATASHA COLLINS. Written in bold letters.No.I can't believe my eyes right now, but I am not blind so I guess I am seeing the real deal. His engagement announcement is plastered all over social media and there are pictures of him standing on a platform with a gorgeous blonde woman, her arms wrapped around him. She is definitely the Natasha Collins.A beautiful diamond ring on her finger and both of them are smiling at the cameras.What the hell? How is he engaged so soon?It hasn’t even been twenty hours since he was released and now he is engaged?Wow. Just wow.Sebastian King never ceases to amaze me.I scroll through the photos. There are dozens of them. One is of Sebastian kissin

A Date

~ Daisy’s POV ~Wow. He moves fast. “Dinner? With you? Hmmm…” I hum, my tone turning sluttier as I bite my bottom lip to sell the fantasy even to myself.“What do you say?” He gently pushes further.“Well, having dinner with you sounds good, and I love good things.”“Me too. So is that a yes?”“It's a yes, Mr. King. I will have dinner with you.”He is silent.Completely silent.“Sebastian? Are you still there?” I tease gently.“Yeah, I am. I’m just feeling a bit surprised and lost for words. Are you really serious about this?” He asks, sounding stunned as if he can’t believe what he heard.“Why wouldn’t I be serious, Mr. Handsome? You don't know this, but I have been thinking about you a lot these past few days and now, after seeing how much you care about me and even remembering my favorite flowers, how can I say no to spending a fantastic evening with the man who knows exactly how to make me smile?” I let my tone drop even lower. “Besides, I want to see that real smile of yours aga
