Chapter 2: Accident.

Daisy's POV:

Even after rejecting Teo, my step mother didn't stop there and kept arranging guys for me. She just wants me out of the way as I'll be inheriting all the assets after my dad being the heir of the family but she wants her daughter or son to be the heir.

Today, I made a guy throw out of the house after insulting him. I was in my room when Auntie came in. She slapped me hard as I fell on the ground due to the sudden impact.

"You slut. You think you can just reject everyone and I'll stop? No. I'll make you marry. Tomorrow your father will come back and then I'll tell him everything you did in these days. Let's see who he will side up with", she said.

"I told you that I'll throw away your dear mother's things and I will do it", she said. I begged her not to do it but she did. She threw away my mom's memories. Stella kept laughing at my vulnerable state.

"You bitch. You'll be married off then I'll be the next heir", Stella smirked. I cried as my mom's things were thrown out. "Auntie, please don't do it. I'll listen to you", I begged but she didn't even glance at me.

"Please don't take my mom's things", I begged the workers but they didn't listen to me. "Auntie, please", I grabbed her hand and begged but she shoved my hand make me imbalance.

"Ahh!", I yelled as I fell down the stairs. Dark spots appeared in front of my eyes. I saw the servants rushing over to me to help me. I smiled and soon darkness occupied me.

"Sweetie, come here", I heard my mom's voice. "Momma, wait for me. I'm coming", I said as I ran towards her but couldn't reach her. "Momma, don't go", I said.

"Baby, come to mommy", she smiled. Her auburn hairs were flowing with the air and she looked so beautiful. Her lightly tanned skin like me shined under the sunlight. Her smiled was full of innocence and love.

"Mommy, wait for me. I'm coming", I ran to her but couldn't reach her. "Baby, mommy is going", she said and moved away from my grasp. "Momma, don't leave me", I cried but she didn't listen.

I ran towards her direction but couldn't reach her. "Momma!", I yelled as I sat up. I heard the loud beeping sound of the machines. I looked around to find myself in the hospital. My arm was hurt. My forehead hurt.

Doctor and nurse came rushing inside. I looked at them blankly. The doctor checked me up. "For how much time was I out?", I asked the doctor. "Two days. Your injuries are minor so you don't have to worry but your forehead was a bit much hurt", he explained me everything then left.

Dad entered with a worried look. He hugged me tightly. "Dad, I'm okay", I said in a calm tone. "You should be careful while walking. How did you fall from the stairs while you were walking?", he asked.

I understood what my step mother would have said so I went with the flow as I don't want dad to be upset. "I just slipped off", I said. "Be scared from next time", he said and kissed on my forehead. I nodded.

I was discharged from the hospital the next day and came home. I went to my room quietly and sat at the edge of the bed on the floor with my knees upto my chest. Suddenly someone entered.

"Daisy, it's better if you cooperate and just marry or else I'll make them throw away everything related to your mother from this house", Auntie said. I nodded quietly.

I was scared. I remember the time when she beat me when I was 12. I didn't allow Stella to take my toys so she locked me in the storeroom and then beat me until I fainted. When dad asked about the injuries, auntie said that I got them while fighting at school.

Dad too scolded me for that. Auntie kept punishing me everytime I denied any of her command. She even accused my mom. I tried my best to be a good girl but she never accepted me. She even took away all my toys when I was young but then I changed my ways and became arrogant.

I got up and took my mom's photo frame as I laid on the bed with the frame on my chest and hugged it as if feeling that she's near me. I remember momma never beat me. She used to make me understand calmly.

When I used to deny to eat mom used to feed me saying different names of my favorite cartoons unlike Auntie who made me starve everytime dad wasn't around when I denied to eat.

I saw a figure in front of me. It was my mom. "Mom, why do they hate me? Do you also hate me", I asked her. "No, sweetie. How can I hate my baby? I love you", she said with a smile. "I love you, momma", I said and smiled.

"Momma, I want to come to you", I said in a sad tone. "Baby, I'm always with you. You don't have to come to me. See, I'm here. You're such a good girl", she said and gave a smile to me. I nodded and smiled back.

I don't know when I fell asleep but when I got up it was already 6 in the evening and my mom was gone. I went to the bathroom and washed my face. My eyes were red from all the crying.

I put on a pair of denim shorts and black spaghetti strap top tucking it into my shorts and wore black high heel boots. I took my mobile and headed out. I got into my car and drove to a club.

I ordered a drink and sipped it thinking of all the things in my life. People might think I'm overreacting or overthinking but when you've so much going on in your life what will you do?!

My stepmother who was brought to take care of me ended up torturing me and bullying me. I thought she was my mother but she can never take the place of my mom. Nobody can replace my mom.

"Hey, beautiful. Let's have some fun", a guy came and rubbed his hand on my thigh. I pushed him away. "Please leave me alone", I said. I really had no energy to argue with anyone.

"Woah! You know who I am? I'm the second son of Morris family. You're rejecting me?", he asked. "See. I'm really not in a mood. Just go away", I requested. "Baby, come with me and you'll get into the mood", he said seductively which just annoyed me.

"Please go away", I calmly said again. He held my wrist and started forcing me. I pushed him away. "Just stay away from me", I said and got up from my place moving away from him.

"Hey, why are you being so impulsive? It's normal to have fun. I'll give you money. Come with me", he said and started getting close. I moved back but suddenly bumped into something hard.

I turned to see a man in his twenties. He was really handsome with chocolatey eyes, straight and pointed nose followed by perfect lips. His light brown hairs looked really silky. He had sharp facial features and perfect jawline. His body was well built and one could see through those muscles that were bulging from his expensive suit. His scent hit my nose and I swear it was so captivating.

"Is this guy giving you a trouble?", his voice was deep and masculine. I nodded like a child. "Mr. Morris, let's talk about this with your family", he said looking at the guy who was just trying to take advantage of me.

"Mr.... Mr. Knight, please forgive me. I didn't knew she was with you. I will never look at her", the guy begged. "Take him and give him some special treatment", the man said and two bodyguards came and took the guy out.

"Thank you", I said to him in a low tone. "Thanking me for what, baby girl?", he asked with a smile. "Thank you for saving me", I said to him. His smile deepened. "You're welcome", he patted my head with his gloved hand.

"You're drunk, I'll drop you to your home", he said. I shook my head. "You don't wanna go home?", he asked. I shook my head. "Then?", he asked. I looked down. I didn't wanna go to that place. Auntie will marry me off to someone who will beat me like she does.

"I'll stay here", I said lowly. "Stay here?", he asked. I nodded. "Okay, I'll stay too as I was here to have some drink", he said. I ordered drinks and kept drinking until I couldn't take it anymore.
