Revenge with Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter One Daisy POV “This has to be a joke, all of this has to be a joke.” She muttered to herself as she marched up the stairs. Her sweaty palms clamped down on the phone in her hand as another hurried step followed hers. “Ma’am, please wait, you can’t go in there. Mr. Luke isn’t ready to see you.” The maid followed after her but she was determined to get to her destination without any form of obstruction. “He’s my fiance, he doesn’t need to be ready- you know what, I shouldn’t be explaining myself to you.” She hissed as she turned up the stairs, there were just a few more doors before she would find out the truth. A painful truth she may not want to accept. “Miss Well-” She reached the large dark door and pushed it with her strength, and when her eyes landed on her fiancee's bare back, her heart fell. “Miss Wells-” the maid rushed in but it was too late, she had seen what she needed to see and the noise had gained the attention of people on the bed. “Daisy? What are you doing here?” He asked with his eyes wide, it was for a moment but Daisy saw something else. A sneer, the repulse in his eyes, the way his lips were drawn in a thin line. Rejection. It wasn’t an entirely new concept to Daisy but it didn’t register too early what was happening until her gaze landed on another body which she didn’t pay much attention to. “Who- wo-” “Daisy,” Luke turned to the maid. “Get her out of here!” “Don’t you dare touch me?” She snapped at the maid who shivered and retreated instead. “Hello sissy,” Daisy's stomach turned as realization sipped. The blonde hair and blue eyes didn’t belong to a stranger, they belonged to the lady she had spent four years with since her mother died. “Eve?” Dead weight set in her body and her brows scrunched up in total confusion. “What- what are you doing here? Why are you here? Luke, what the hell is she doing here?” Her breath quickened and her nose flared, Her grip on her phone slacked and the sharp clattering of the phone reached her ears. Here she was, seeing the reality of a rumour that had reached her phone early that morning on her way to work and now, every piece of her wanted to scream. “Wh- why?” “Look, there’s no need to be dramatic. Luke picked me over you, the end.” Luke moved off Eve and sat on the edge of the bed with his hands raking through his brown hair. He rubbed his face and stared at Daisy without any thought to cover up. “Daisy, can we talk about this later?” “No! How can you have the balls to want to speak to me later? I just caught you red-handed with my step-sister and you want to leave this later? What the hell is wrong with you?!” “Ouhh, she’s mad. I think now’s the best time to talk this one out.” Eve said and stretched out her arms above her head. Daisy watched her scoot closer to Luke while staring back at her, it was as though Eve was testing her, checking to see how much of her patience had and Daisy was slowly losing it. “Look, Daisy, things don’t always go as planned and-” “You mean deliberating cheating on me with Eve?” She was relatively calm but it couldn’t replace the betrayal dragging at her heart. “We all know I’m the better sister and daddy’s favourite, I mean how can he still love you after what you did to your mother?” A punch to the gut, that was what Eve’s statement was to her. She turned to Luke and then to me. “Look, if you won’t tell her, then I’ll tell her for you. Daisy honey, Luke isn’t getting married to you.” “You think I’m just going to accept what you tell me-” “She’s right Daisy, I’m not getting married to you. I mean how can you say it yourself, I cheated on you,” She tilted her head slightly in mockery. “Besides, you have a lot on your hands and I don’t think this marriage is what you need now-” “You know what, I’m done with this!” “Great she’s onboard, can you drop the ring when leaving?” Eve said with glee, the ring- the engagement ring. It was a private one, just as he wanted. It didn’t go out to the public and it was just them. Now it all made sense why. “I can’t believe you, the both of you. Especially you Eve, how can you do this to me? We are-” “What? Sisters? I don’t think so, see just because my mother agreed to marry your father means I agree to call you my sister. You’re not, you’re just a privileged brat who gets what she wants without thinking about other people-” A prick of accusation hung in the air. Daisy flinched, rubbing her neck, then arms, a familiar gesture that screamed discomfort. "Is that what this is about?" she finally choked out. "Are you implying I'm selfish?" The question hung heavy, and she shuffled on her feet before Luke could answer. "I'm done," she declared, voice tight with unshed tears. "Done with shouldering blame for sins not my own. Done with this." With trembling hands, she ripped the ring from her finger and flung it across the room. It landed with a dull thud, a punctuation mark to their shattered relationship. Tears welled in her eyes, blurring her vision. The last time she'd felt this raw, this broken, was at her mother's funeral. She'd vowed then that nothing could hurt her this deeply again. How wrong she'd been. Blinded by a desperate hope, she'd clung to the delusion that everything she'd seen and heard was a mistake. Now, the weight of reality slammed into her, suffocating. Five agonising minutes she'd spent staring at the empty doorway, willing him to return, only to be met with a deafening silence. Rejection. Betrayal. "Stupid," she whispered, a choked sob escaping her lips. Shifting into gear, she peeled out of the driveway, leaving behind the echoes of a love that once was.
