CHAPTER 10
Daisy's POV
I got to aunt Vanessa's house to meet the greatest shock of my life. She had moved out according to her neighbor. She moved out years ago. Aunt Vanessa and I communicated when I was in high school but I couldn't remember the last time I got her mail. Is it three or four years? I asked.I got her address from the emails she usually sends. I made a huge mistake by not calling to inform her that I was coming.I was knocking on her front door when a neighbor of hers informed me of her absence. I asked him for her new address and he said he didn't have it. I was left with no choice but to call her as I walked back down the avenue to the street. Her phone was unreachable and I almost cried out in frustration.Where do I go from here? I was damn hungry and exhausted. I was also tired of dragging my single box. I'm in deep shit, I muttered. I decided to take a cab to the nearest hotel after trying to think of what tRelated chapters

Daisy's POVI saw mom and then dad. They were smiling at me. Their mouths were moving but I couldn't hear them."Mom?" I called, realizing how much I missed seeing her beautiful face. She doesn't look at all like aunt Vanessa. Aunt Vanessa looked more like a black American."Dad?" I called, relishing the moment we both spent together. The reality of dad's death was dawning on me more than ever and it was having a toll on me."Dad?" I called again, stretching my hand as I howled in pain.I was in severe pain. I was feeling pain all over the world. Then I began to cry. I facepalmed myself as I cried. When I removed my hand to clean up my tears, they were gone."Mom? Dad?" I called again, looking all around, the surroundings were cold, with fogs all over. I shuddered in fear when I realized I was alone.I was in pain again. But this time, it was the pain of being an orphan. The pain of my fate. The pain of my situation. The pain of everything th

Nina's POVI was beginning to see a similarity in my story and that of Daisy's. We were both at a young age when the responsibility of a mother fell upon our shoulders. We were left to birth and train up the child with the father nowhere to be found."Why do women have to suffer the pain alone when the pleasure was between two genders?The only difference between Daisy's story and mine was that Amar and I were in love. It was love at first sight.The sexual tension was obvious. I became restless the moment I entered the conference room and I saw him. He was too. The chemistry was obvious to almost everyone in the room.We spent the night in the hotel close to where the program was held. It was a construction work program and my father's friend was the chief host. I convinced my dad to let me attend so I could have an understanding of how it works. I told him I wanted to use the experience for the book I was writing and he allowed me.I
FATED BOND CHAPTER 13
Daisy's POVThe first two months I spent living with Nina was amazing. Nina got me a new phone when I told her I left my phone in New York.I tried calling her grandmother Nina but she wouldn't let me. She said she isn't old enough to be a grandmother.On Maria's birthday, I cried the moment I woke up. I missed her badly and I wondered how she was faring. I knew she would be dead worried about me. I loved and I missed her, notwithstanding her craziness.I remembered I went along to Las Vegas with the two books she gave me and I quickly went to get them.My baby bump was bigger and I still had less than four months to go. Nina said we would go shopping for the baby things and also decorate the nursery the following month.Anytime Nina was out, I always chatted with Nadia, the house help. She was my best friend and she was already anticipating my birth.Nadia was an African-American and I told her my mother was a black woman and was probably from

Daisy's POVNina and I went shopping for the baby. We bought all that was needed and what to use in decorating the nursery. Almost all the things we bought were pink in color. Nina said she had an instinct that it was going to be a girl.We decorated the nursery with Nadia and I couldn't help but cry. It was tears of joy. I was happy for the care Nina and Nadia were showering on my unborn baby.After we bought the things we needed, I pulled out my credit card to pay, even though I wasn't sure if my money was going to be enough but Nina wouldn't allow me to pay. She was indeed God-sent.I told Nina about my dreams to become a great writer like her someday and she encouraged me to try my hand at my first book.I read one of Nina's books in New York titled STIGMA and I fell in love with it. I never knew I was going to meet the writer of that book someday. Nina had been my role model and the thought of it was motivating me.I began my first book without informing

Daisy's POV"Baby", Nina called as I quickly let my hair down, brushing it."Yes, mom. I'm coming", I replied and wore my heels, took a hold of my handbag, and went out of the room."We are going to be late", she said when I got downstairs."Sorry, mom", I apologized, pulling my skirt down to give room for my belly."Are you comfortable in that dress?" She asked, peering at me."It's ok, mom. Let's go", I said with a smile and flung my bag into my hand.The dress I was wearing was part of those Nina shopped for me, three months after I was discharged from the hospital. It was one of my favorites. I barely went out and that was the first time I wore the dress because it was an important occasion.Nina asked me to follow her to the office to meet her editor and one publishing company coming to sign a contract for one of her books. I was anxious because I didn't know what was expected of me over there. I still hadn't told Nina that I was halfway

"But that can only be possible if he truly loved you as he claimed. He will never let go of everything just because of a baby when he doesn't love you", I emphasized, wanting to keep the conversation going and she looked at me before nodding with a smile.I still did not want to agree that her story was worse than mine. "But why will he say he would have let go if you had told him? Must a baby be the only reason to let go of every other thing? Why didn't he let go of that woman if he truly loved you?"She didn't answer. There was a smug smile on her face. I would see the sadness laced there. I felt bad for digging up the past because it was obvious she was still hurting."Who would have known what would have happened if you had told him on time? That would have proved his love for you." Nina uttered."I didn't want to tie any man down with my pregnancy." I opposed it."That is what you don't get, Daisy. Gone are those days. We all have our lives to live and

In the contract, all the benefits you will enjoy when we publish the book for you are stated there and the designs of your book cover as well as editing are inclusive." Mr. Gonzalez finished, stretching the contract to Stella, my secretary.She came in late and I was really mad at her. I sent her a message the night before for us to meet in the office. It was unlike her but I couldn't help the anger I was feeling. I felt going to a meeting with a client without my secretary would look so unprofessional.We got talking Immediately after introducing Daisy to them as my daughter. I could see the looks on their faces. They were from the Philippines and I signed my first book with them. We knew each other from day one of my career as a writer

Nina's POVMy first birthday with Daisy was a bit different from those of the previous years. First, neither Damien nor Amar was the first person to wish me a happy birthday.Then, Daisy insisted that we celebrate it in a big way, despite my protest. After much argument, I gave in but with a condition. Our guests were to be limited to my office colleagues, that was my condition.I knew celebrating my birthday in a big way will lead to something I would no longer be able to control. I guessed that was my fear and reason for keeping a low profile. Papparazis would be in attendance and virtually all information about my private life would be gathered and disseminated to the world before the next day.I loved my privacy but I couldn't imagine what would happen if news got to the world that Nina Gomez was a single mother who got pregnant out of wedlock for an Indian. Such news can ruin my reputation, the reputation I have been building for years, to prove my father wron
