The Billionaire’s Ex Wife

They dropped Daisy at home, and without waiting, Amanda left for home. She was very exhausted and needed rest before the driver would bring Daniel and Ella back to the house. At least she will have about one hour to herself before they will get here.

However, as she turned the knob and went in, the first thing she heard was the loud shrill of her son’s voice, from somewhere around the house. She was surprised. How could they be back before her?

Did Becky get fed up and sent them home? all these thoughts swirled in her head and she hastened in the direction of the voice which seemed from the outer part of the house she seldom used. The pool area. She has learned Daniel never to use the pool when she isn’t around or his nanny. His nanny had gone for her annual leave which was why Daniel had to be registered in the kiddies.

So why would he defile her? No, her son never defiles her, unless he has someone that encouraged him.

Woof!

Her dog came barreling down through the door connecting the backside where the pool is located to the inside. She stopped in front of Dais and wiggled her tail exuberantly, raising on her back hinges, yearning for a rub.

“Why are you this excited, Ella? What are you guys doing at the pool? Daniel!” She barreled, dropping her bag on one of the settees end, stooping to scoop the dog who showered her with passionate face kisses in response. “Not now, Ella, uuuugh!” She twisted her face from side to side as she made her way outside.

When she managed to tame her at the dog, and raised her face, she turned pale, her body going stiff. Ethan. She should have known only him would make her son go against her word.

“Mom!”Daniel rushed out of the pool, her heart skidding when she struggled to jump out before his Dad helped pull him up. “You are back! Look, Dad came to pick me!”

So I see,” She put out through tight lips, glaring at Ethan whose only response was to smirk at her from the pool. She brushed her hand through her son’s wet hair and dragged him to her as though for protection. “I thought I told you not to use the pool alone, Danny?”

“I’m sorry, I was feeling hot and then Dad offered to take me swimming, and then I told him we have a pool.”

“Oh,” She feigned faux amazement. “Now, isn’t he such a good father?” She sniped, hoping Ethan would break his leg as he exited the pool, to prove to him how much venom she harbors in her heart for him.

“Yes, mom!” He scooted out of her arm and Impulsively, she reached out to grab him and quickly withdrew her hand, and flapped it. Her dog yelped and then before she could relate, she jumped off her arm, making Daisy squeal in fright that she would break her short limbs. “Ella, be careful!” But the creature had a mind of its own and was bounding towards Danny, even though when the latter jumped into the pool, all the dog cuis di was holler but couldn’t enter the pool.

Daisy rolled her eyes, exhaling stifled air. Of course, the dog can’t swim. She was still teaching her.

“C, mon Ella, let’s go in, you are still recovering,” She cooed to the dog, flashing Ethan an evil eye to inform him he wasn’t welcome to her household.

If he got her gesture, he didn’t budge. His facial features remained nonchalant as he played with his son, making Daisy’s heart boil. Ella, seeing that they weren’t paying her any attention, eventually came to Daisy and she picked him up and with a final glance at the two, made her way out. She had a mind to tell Daniel to leave the water so he wouldn’t fall sick from the cold, but seeing how happy he was playing with his father, she didn’t want to take that away from him.

Entering inside, she dropped the dog and picked her bag and started going upstairs, her head sounding with diverse obscene sceneries. She didn’t know what she was going to do. She didn’t want to appear like the kik of might her mother was to her. The type that doesn’t let you breathe. Always expecting too much from you. She was that kind of person and would not for anything make her son see her in that light.

Sometimes she wonders if her parents thought of her after what they did. Initially, she used to speak to her younger sister, but with time, it seemed they banned her from talking to her and so, her sister stopped calling her or picking her calls. At the beginning, Daisy felt bad and missed them, but with time, she realized she was better off without them.

Everything she is today, they never contribute to pay for it. Well, apart from her education. But, from the moment she told them she was going into fashion, she looked down their nose at her choice of career and her father told her that she was wasting her time in doing something that might never be productive. She didn’t take it to heart and worked hard to prove them wrong.

But, after the divorce, they used that opportunity to tell her she had indeed brought their greatest fear to fruition and didn’t waste time ejecting her from their lives for good. It irks most times to think of them, but Daisy has learned to live with it and forge on.

To her, it was for the best. All that matters now is living a life worthy of emulation for her son. How was she going to make that happen now with his father trying to ruin it afresh for her?

“I’m going up, Ella wanna come with me?” She asked, the Collier who whimpered and sat on her back, eyeing her with watery eyes. “What?” She asked and it whispered again.

Most times Daisy can’t help but wonder if her dog was human. She is nothing short of demanding. She knew she wanted her to carry her up, rather than walk by herself. So she stepped down and came to scoop her up. “You know the doctor said you need exercise, you will have to start doing this simple task by yourself…” The creature whimpered and placed her head on Daisy’s shoulder.

Getting into her room, she dropped her on the bed and made her way to the restroom to freshen up. Today was very stressful albeit very productive. She has to get into work as fast as possible. So many designs will be produced for the upcoming show. There would be several people present and many pickers, if they are lucky, they might be able to bag a position in Forbes list as they have been chasing for sometime now.

Just as she was bathing, her dog started barking hysterically. Daisy jerked up from the tub, “Ella, are you okay?” The dog was still barking, not stopping for a minute. Daisy was concerned. It was hard to see Ella go berserk like that unless she was in discomfort.

Could it be that Ethan was in the room? But if so, Ella would bark like that because they were cozy before she came in. She quickly left the tub and grabbed her towel to wrap around her.

As she opened the door, her eyes widened and as they went to the man, trying to force it open. “Arrrh!” She screamed so loud her lungs gave out. “Who are you?!” She pointed at the man, and crunged back towards the bathroom door. She heard footsteps running upstairs and was somewhat relieved that Ethan was here.

“Shit!” The stranger hissed and made for the window, and started fiddling with it.

“I’m fuxken calling the cops if you do not tell me who you are!” Daisy was still screaming and her dog going mad as she jumped from side to side still barking. Daisy has never seen her like that. She didn’t even know her dog could be that active.

“Fucken open the door this minute, bitch!” The man saw that there was no way he could leave through the window due to how high it was from the floor. Going through it would mean suicide for him.

“Daisy!” Ethan banged at the door.

Now, here was the thing. Her door was opened with a card. In fact every room in the building was. When she came in, she must have forgotten to place the card back to keep it open which was why it banged shut. It would need her Boeing it again before anyone leaves or comes in. Normally she leaves it open because of Ella or her son, in case they decide to come to her room.

“Who the hell are you?!” She repeated, her eyes skidding between the door where Ethan banged and the stranger. Then, she noticed her laptop was open. How?! “What do you want? Who sent you?!”

“Open the fucken door and tell whoever is there to back out!” He saw that he was caged in and now he was frustrated. How did he even come in the first place? Daisy wondered. Nobody has ever entered her house before without her knowledge unless someone in her house let them in. Those swinney maids of hers! She would get them all fired if she came out here alive.

“Daisy, are you okay?!” Ethan asked frantically.

“No! There is a guy in my room and I don’t know who he is!” Daisy let out to Ethan for the first time.

“What!” Ethan holauled. “A guy in your fucken room!” He was going mad. “Okay, wait there, baby. I’ve called the cops, they are on their way…”

“Tell him not to fucken call the cops! Ouch!”The man screamed when Ella rounded on his legs and bit him. “Hold down your cringy little monster or I swear to God I will kill it!”

“Ella!” Daisy cried and when she made to go to her, the man took that opportunity to make his way to her. She screamed and ran for the door and he was in her in no time. As he grabbed her, Ella grabbed his legs and they all struggled.

“Let me go, Ethan!” Daisy screamed, never knowing she would ever need his help again.

“Mom?”

Shit! Her son!

“Let me go, please, I swear I will give you any amount of money you want,” She begged the man, whose hand was going all over her soapy body, unaware of what he was doing as he doughy to keep the dog from biting him.

“Daisy,” Ethan started banging on the door again.

“I will surely kill this little shit!”

“Please let me go…” Daisy fought and when he wouldn’t let go, she grew furious and without thinking, she turned back with every strength in her, she elbowed him, and when he didn’t move, her knee rode up and connected with his groin and at once, he shrieked in pain and landed on the floor. Her dog was on top of him the next minute crawling her paw across the man’s face.

Daisy used the opportunity to rush to her bag, grabbed her card and rushed back. When the man made it to her, she lifted her legs and connected with his groin again.

“Arh!” He cried, almost at the point of passing out.

Daisy opened the door and Ethan and her son rushed in, both looking very concerned. Without thinking it, she crushed herself on Ethan who held her so tight, saying soothing words to her.

Their small reunion was broken when Ella whimpered.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ella!” Her son cried and rushed to the dog who the man had swung off him to the ground harshly.

Ethan tackles him to the floor once more and starts delivering flat punches across his face. “Who are you, fucker and how dare you think you can come in here?!”
