All Chapters of Five Years Too Late, Ex-husband!: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

~ 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'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

~ 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

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

~ 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
