Chapter 2

• Daisy's POV
• W…what…" I finally struggled to get out, my mind in a thousand places all at once.
• "You are just a bitch, Daisy."
• "A whore and a bitch that I have treated like some treasure for the last five years."
• His words are flat and emotionless and when I meet his blue eyes again, my heart is pounding against my chest.
• "Something is wrong somewhere, Declan."
• How could he be sterile when the doctor confirmed that I was pregnant?
• His brows raised as he closed the space between us and grabbed my arms tightly.
• The dangerous look in his eyes sends my mind into overdrive and I hurriedly think of something.
• "L..Le…Let's do another test." I finally managed to let out despite the fear that was churning in my stomach.
• "Oh, you want another chance at manipulating me?"
• "So you can sleep with the doctors and get them to lie to me?"
• "Declan, you have to trust me…"
• "Trust? Three hospital have confirmed that I'm sterile and won't be able to father a child."
• "You want me to trust you?"
• I nodded frantically.
• Something was happening here and even though I couldn't figure it out, I just needed him to give me some time.
• "Kill the bastard, Daisy."
• My eyes widened and I instinctively wrap my arms around my stomach.
• There was no way that I would…
• Declan chucked and I looked up to meet his cold glare.
• "Get out, Daisy. It's over between us."
• "Take your bastard to the father, I won't be raising another man's child."
• I grasp tight at his hands.
• "Declan, you have to believe me."
• Yes, I sounded desperate and my voice was already hoarse from crying but yes, I was desperate already.
• Declan was my everything.
• He was the reason why I had walked away from everything.
• This was supposed to be our day.
• Where had things gone wrong?
• Declan yanked my hands away, not caring that I fell to the floor with a plop.
• "I would have the divorce papers sent to your mail. Sign it and send the scanned copy back to me."
• The universe has to be playing a trick on me.
• That's all I think as I watch Declan walk back into the house and lock the door behind him.
• Divorce papers?
• How could it be coming to an end?
• There's no way this real.
• My hand goes to my still flat stomach one more time and another stream of tears flow down my eyes.
• How could I have been so wrong?
• I don't know how long I remain sitting outside the house until the estate security walks up to me.
• "Mrs Ellington, Mr Ellington has requested that we escort you out of the estate."
• My fingers trembled and I stood up while nodding at Richard.
• A glance at my watch and I realize that it was midnight already.
• Midnight with no where to go.
• Well, there was one place.
• Luckily for me, Sacremento didn't sleep early but by the time the cab dropped me in front of that familiar apartment, my heart break at the dark windows.
• Regardless, I summon the courage to knock, it had been a while since we had talked but Lily hasn't mentioned moving away from here.
• I knock one more time and wrap my arms around myself as the night breeze gets stronger.
• After more than ten minutes of standing in front of her door, I finally turned around.
• It was way past midnight, I couldn't bear the thought of calling home.
• No, not like this.
• I was getting desperate but if I called home now, Declan would probably not make it till morning.
• There was supposed to be an Helios hotel somewhere around here right?
• However, as I turned around the corner, a wave of nausea took over and I bent down while searching for any support.
• It was the wrong move as everything around me swirled and I wobbled around in my shoes.
• No… I couldn't lose consciousness.
• My baby.
• I have to fight.
• Just as my knees bent, my entire body was swept up and strong arms wrapped around me.
• "You should come back home," the voice said and as the warmth wrapped around me, the world went dark.
