~ DAISY'S POV ~Please pick up.Please, please, please pick up…“911, what's your emergency?”Oh thank God!Thank God, thank God, thank God.The voice on the other end is calm and professional, completely unaware that I am currently hiding in a bathroom while armed psychopaths are holding an entire restaurant hostage.“Please,” I whisper, my voice so low I can hardly hear myself. “You have to help us. There are men with guns and they are holding us hostage at—”What is the name of this restaurant again?Fuck. Fuck!I can't remember the damn name!Think Daisy. Think!“Ma'am, I need you to stay calm,” the operator says. “Where are you located?”“Um... it's... it's a restaurant on...” I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to remember the street name Sebastian mentioned when we first arrived. “West 52nd Street. Near... near 8th Avenue. It's called... The... The Cove. Italian restaurant. Red awning outside.”“The Cove?” the operator asks.“Yes. Yes that's it.” I whisper urgently. “There are at le

Die For Him.

~ DAISY'S POV ~My blood turns to ice, my entire body going completely still in the cramped, dark ventilation shaft as I hear the words ringing in my mind over and over again.Oh God he is going to kill Sebastian. The bastard is going to kill Sebastian if I don't come back in two minutes!My frozen body jerks back to life at the thought, my heart pounding so loud I can barely think straight.In the past, I would have crawled back through this vent to save Sebastian without a second thought. I would have thrown myself at Jimmy's feet and begged him to take me instead of Sebastian. I would have sacrificed myself for Sebastian without any hesitations because back then, I loved him.I loved him so much that I would have done anything for him.However, he wouldn't have done the same for me. Never.When I needed him most, he was there for Vanessa instead of me. He even asked me to get rid of my pregnancy all because of Vanessa. When I was sick, he chose to be with Vanessa simply because she

Daisy Dies First

~ DAISY'S POV ~The words are right there on my tongue. Ready to spill out and change everything.“Sebastian, five years ago….”“WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!” Jimmy's voice suddenly cuts through the air with a sneer, his face twisted in fake sympathy. “Sorry to interrupt this touching little moment, but I'm afraid your time is up, princess.”What?He adjusts the gun against my temple, pressing it harder and making me swallow hard again.“Any last words before I blow your pretty little brains out?”More tears well up in my eyes.I am going to die.My babies.Oh God my babies.They will never see me again.Sebastian will never know they exist.Mason will… my precious boy will die without Sebastian’s bone marrow because Sebastian doesn't even know he exists.“PLEASE!” Sebastian begs. “Jimmy, don't do this! I'm BEGGING you!”Jimmy just laughs as his finger moves to the trigger.“See you in hell, sweetheart.”I close my eyes, already helpless and just waiting for the shot.I think about the old woman

Fall.

~ DAISY'S POV ~BUZZ. BUZZ. BUZZ.I wake up to my phone vibrating non-stop on my nightstand.What is it this time?Groaning, I reach for it, my body still aching from yesterday. From Jimmy. From the gun. From everything.When I open my phone, I nearly gasp.My screen is flooded with notifications from literally every media outlet. Twitter. Instagram. Name it. There are lots of notifications from News alerts and media houses asking for a statement. There are even messages from Catherine.What is going on?I unlock my phone fully and the sleep in my eyes vanishes because staring back at me is a headline in bold capital letters:SEBASTIAN KING CONFESSES LOVE TO DAISY MATTHEWS AMID CRISISWhat the fuck?!I quickly click on twitter and instantly, I see hashtags and story heads like: SEB-KING-BREAKS-THE-INTERNET-WITH-LOVE-CONFESSION #MostDramaticConfession #SebastianKingConfession #Sebastisy.Seriously?Below every headline are pictures and videos. I click on one of the videos and instantly

Arrest Her

~ DAISY'S POV ~“No! I didn't push her!” I shake my head. “She is the one who grabbed MY hands and fell off the stairs to make it look like I pushed her! She—”“Why would I grab your hands?” Vanessa cries, her fake tears still bathing her cheeks. “Why would I do this to myself? I was just trying to APOLOGIZE to you but then you pushed me and now instead of being remorseful, you are lying against me. Why?!”“You are a liar!” I continue defending myself, turning towards the crowd once more. “She is lying! She set this up! She—”“SET WHAT UP?” Vanessa sobs, clutching her bleeding head. “You think I am crazy enough to pull something like this on myself! I could have DIED!”The crowd murmurs. Some people step closer. Others pull out their phones.Oh God this is getting out of han—“Daisy would never do that,” someone suddenly says from the crowd.A production assistant. One of the nice ones who always brings me coffee.Thank God.“Yeah,” another voice joins in. “I have worked with Daisy fo

Prove Herself

~ DAISY'S POV ~"Can't you hear what I'm saying?! I said I am innocent!" I yell again, my voice almost cracking as the officer tightens his grip on my arm. "Please! You have to believe me! I didn't push her!"The officer doesn't even look at me. He just keeps walking, pulling me towards the police car like I'm some common criminal."You can check the cameras!" I plead, digging my heels into the ground to anchor myself but the officer keeps pulling me forward. "There are cameras everywhere on this set! Check them out! The cameras never lie, they will show you the truth! They will show you that she grabbed my hands and—""Ma'am, you need to calm down," the officer says in a flat, emotionless tone that makes me want to scream.Calm down?! Is he kidding me?! Who on earth will be calm in this kind of situation?!"I won't calm down!" My voice is shaking now, tears burning my eyes. "I didn't do this! Why won't anyone believe me?!"I turn back to the crowd, searching for someone—anyone—who wi

Hotel Room

~ DAISY'S POV ~It has been twenty minutes since my ‘fake tears’ call with Sebastian and now, my heart is still racing with every minute that passes.What is taking him so long?He should be here in the hotel by now.Suddenly, there is a knock on the door that almost makes me jump.Finally. I smooth down my dress, check my reflection in the mirror one last time, and take a deep breath.Daisy, you can do this. You HAVE to do this for Mason.I keep repeating the mantra in my head as I walk to the door and open it.Sebastian is standing there, dressed in a black designer shirt and matching pants. His hair is slightly messy as if he has been running his hands through the strands on his way here.His eyes scan my face immediately, searching for any signs of pain or discomfort. "Daisy, are you alright?”I don't say anything. I just step aside to let him into the room.He walks past me and I catch his scent, the expensive cologne mixed with something that's just... him. My stomach twists.

Get Out

DAISY'S POV ~"Three days," the doctor replies quietly. "I will have the bone marrow test results in three days."“Okay,” I nod, now escorting him towards the door.Three days.Just three more days and I will know if Sebastian is a match for my Mason. Three days until I know if this entire nightmare was worth it."Thank you," I say to the doctor, opening the door wider for him.“You're welcome,” he gives me a small smile and a nod before stepping out of the room.Once he is out, I close the door quietly behind him and lean against the door for a moment, my heart still racing inside me.Slowly, I turn towards Sebastian.He is still lying on the bed exactly where I left him, completely unconscious. His chest is rising and falling evenly, one of his arms stretched out across the space where I was lying just minutes ago.I still can't believe that I fearlessly gave him those sleeping pills, but I know I did.Well, I am a mother who will do anything for her children.Swallowing hard, I wa

The Dress

~ DAISY'S POV ~ What the fuck?! Vanessa has always been a troublemaker, but this time, I expected her to mind her fucking business just once. She is truly a bitch. “Miss Vanessa,” Annie says softly. “I am sorry but you can't just snatch—" "I said the dress is mine!” Vanessa snaps. "I saw it first so charge it to my account!” Oh. So this is how she wants us to play her madness. “I am sure Daisy here won't mind, right Daisy?” She turns in my direction, her voice dripping with fake sweetness. She is smiling but I can see pure hatred in her eyes. She thinks she can humiliate me because of how Sebastian humiliated her yesterday. She is trying to get back at me over a dress. A dress. How pathetic. I don't have the strength or time for this, but since this is what she wants, then two can play the game. Five years ago, I would have backed down. I would have smiled politely and let her have the dress to avoid trouble. I would have walked away and let her win because I was too weak a

DAMIEN HUDSON

~ VANESSA'S POV ~ “Flower, you don't sound good. Are you experiencing any problems at the store?” Gasps fill the hall. Now, all eyes are on Daisy, her phone, and all ears are listening to that voice coming through her phone’s speaker. Damien Hudson. As in the Damien Hudson? No way. That's impossible. Mr. Johnson's looks from me to Daisy and down to her phone, his mouth opening and closing like a fish. "Miss Daisy, I-I didn't know,” he stammers. Why is he stammering?! There is no way that person on the call is Damien Hudson! How can a lowlife like Daisy have the contact of Damien Hudson on her phone?! Damien Hudson is one of the five richest men in the city and it is not possible for him to talk to anyone just like that. He is cold, ruthless, and completely aloof especially when it comes to women. Everyone knows that about him. "THAT'S NOT DAMIEN HUDSON!" I shout and everyone's attention turns to look at me. "That cannot be Damien Hudson!” I repeat. “Daisy must have called s
