All Chapters of Five Years Too Late, Ex-husband!: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

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

~ 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

~ 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

~ 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

~ 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
