Ashes of his heart

Chapter 2

Daisy thought, fearfully and didn't know when three of the glass plates slipped

from her hand and crashed down to the floor.

Ella's eyes widened and a loud gasp followed. Madam Sally which is the

owner of the restaurant glanced towards Daisy's direction, clearly pissed off.

Madam Sally is a one fat lady which doesn't give a damn about her worker's

feelings, she's a one stingy lady and at times she would complain about the

salary she normally pays her staffs, saying that they're supposed to be working for her free of charge.

Madam Sally gritted her teeth in anger and marched to where Daisy stood,

"Oh my gosh, here comes furious Sally" Ella mumbled, nervously and ran away.

Daisy snapped back to reality, she let out a loud hiss when she felt a slight

cut on her toes, since she was putting on slippers.

"What the hell is wrong with you Daisy?! Are you out of your senses?!! Are you trying to bring my shop

down!!? You're going to pay for it!!! " Madam Sally shrieked, crazily.

"A...am sorry Madam Sally....i was just lost in thought....I'll–

"You were just lost in thought??!! are you a family woman?! Do you have

kids at home?! " Madam Sally snapped, irritated.

"Am sorry... " Daisy mumbled, softly.

Madam Sally scoffed,

"Clean that s**t up, I'll minus this

mistake from your payment!" Madam Sally retorted, angrily and stormed off.

Daisy glanced at the floor and sighed.

Daisy walked groggily into the house,

"Hey babe, how was your day? "

Jackson called out, playfully and threw his arm over her shoulder.

Daisy pouted,

"Aish! Let go of me Jackson...am not in

the mood" Daisy mumbled, tiredly and threw herself on the couch.

"Someone's stressed out, did madam Sally overworked you again?" Jackson

asked, seriously and sat down beside Daisy.

"I broke three plates today...." Daisy mumbled, tiredly. Her eyes tightly shut.

"What?! where you thinking again?! I've told you to always focus whenever

you're at work! " Jackson scolded.

"Anyways, is she gonna minus it from your payment? " He asked, eagerly.

"The usual...." Daisy muttered, calmly.

"What?!! What is there to minus, your payment is way too small! " Amelia

who had been listening to their

conversation the whole time, screamed from the kitchen.

She strode into the sitting room, her hands akimbo,

"Hope you're aware that Damon Coldwater is finally in USA?" Amelia

asked, seriously.

Just by hearing his name, Daisy felt a

cold shiver ran down her spine and her eyes snapped open.

"That's what I was about to say right now, am sure Damon is still in search

of you...Daisy the whole of SA are searching for you like crazy, if the news

gets to USA too then you're doomed " Jackson retorted, seriously.

"Amelia...what do you want me to do...? If Damon finds me...then am doomed! I don't want to die yet... " Daisy uttered, fearfully as her body shook.

"Hey, hey, hey look you're safe here with us Daisy, we're going to protect

you from him" Jackson retorted, soothingly as he pulled Daisy into his

arms and rocked her back.

Daisy sniffed,

"What about my mom..? I don't want him to take her away from me" Daisy sobbed fearfully.

Amelia let out a sad sigh,

Daisy is a bold and confident lady, she

would hardly fear anyone but here she is now, shaking in fear just at the mention of Damon's name...

"Daisy I can help you out of this country and that would be next

tomorrow. You're going to stay with my aunt in London while your mom will

stay In here USA." Amelia uttered, softly.

Daisy pursed her lips,

"I don't want to be far away from my

mom Amelia, what if Damon finds out that she's my mother? " Daisy retorted, tearfully.

Amelia frowned,

"This is for your own good and safety Daisy!" Amelia snapped, annoyed.

"My mom is my number one priority Amelia, you can take her to London

while I'll stay here. At least her safety–

"You're so f*cking annoying Daisy! If you ain't going then forget about it! "

Amelia snapped, angrily cutting daisy off.

"That's enough Amelia, please leave. Daisy needs rest" Jackson retorted,

seriously. Amelia gave Daisy a hard glare before storming off.

Daisy began to sob while Jackson rocked her back,

"It's okay Daisy, just think about what Amelia said... " Jackson uttered soothingly.

🦋💍

The next day ••• Daisy was seated on the dinning table as she munched on a plate of fries, hungrily.

Jackson sat in front of her as he mixed her coffee, she frowned when she saw

that he had missed one of the ingredients.

"Ugh..you missed something...the green herbal stuff in which you would

always put in my coffee....? " Daisy uttered, confused.

Jackson froze and let out a quick laughter,

"That is not a herbal stuff, it's still an ingredient. I just didn't add it because I

just found out recently that one mustn't take it everyday " Jackson

retorted coolly and handed the coffee over to Daisy.

Daisy nodded, she took the coffee and gulped everything down in a go,

"It's taste nice without the green stuff anyway, am off, I wanna visit mom" Daisy mumbled and stood up, she left.

Jackson turned and glanced at the door, he brought out a small bottle which had a

greenish liquid inside from his pocket

and glanced at it for a while but quickly shoved it back when Amelia appeared.

"Am off to work, where's Daisy? " Amelia asked, surprised.

"She said something about paying her mom a visit, can you clear the table

first? Am late for work " Jackson muttered and stood up, he left.

Amelia glanced at the door and scoffed,

She began to clear up the table....

🦋💍

Oden street at downtown••• Daisy got to a minnie house, she pushed the

door open and a woman seated on a wheelchair was seen,

"Mom! " Daisy gasped, happily and quickly ran to embrace her.

The woman let out a wide smile as she caressed Daisy's soft hair, tenderly.

Her name is Harriet, she can't walk and

still can't talk due to a sudden incident

years ago. She has a white curly hair which cascaded down her shoulder.

"How have you been Daisy? I've missed you like crazy" Harriet did a sign language.

Daisy sniffed as she touched Harriet's cheek,

"I've missed you too mom, I just feel like staying here with you forever " Daisy mumbled and sniffed.

"No you can't, he might come after you" Harriet did a sign language, her eyes holding some worry in them.

Daisy let out a sad sigh, she took a chair and sat down facing Harriet,

"Amelia wants me to stay with her aunt, in London...next tomorrow..." Daisy mumbled, sadly.

Harriet suddenly became sad,

"Should I go...?" Daisy asked, sadly.

"You staying far away from me is already hard, I feel sad everyday

because I can't even live in peace with my daughter but if you're okay with

it...you can go" Harriet did a sign language.

"I don't want to go Mom, I don't want to be too far away from you..." Daisy uttered, tearfully.

"It's okay, have you eaten anything today?" Harriet did a sign language.

Daisy nodded,

"Yes mum, I ate so much today even to my satisfaction " Daisy uttered, softly..

Soon they started to discuss about some random issues....

🦋💍

THE COLDWATER'S COMPANY••••

Damon was seated on an armchair inside a big hall, his share holder's

surrounded him as one of them spoke about the progress of the company.

Damon's eyes were tightly shut, his lips was pressed into a thin line.

"The shares which had dropped to twenty has finally increased to hundred and–

"Mr James....how many times have I warned you to stop f*cking all my

staffs? " Damon asked, lazily. His tone was cold.

The man known as Mr James flinched as fear gripped him,

No! How did he find out?!!

"Sir! They are the one who threw themselves at me! " Mr James uttered, fearfully.

Damon scoffed and pinched the space between his brows, lazily

"But you did invited Halsey into your office yesterday and f*cked her mercilessly...? " Damon retorted, lazily.

Mr James mouth fell open, he quickly knelt down on the floor as he pleaded for mercy.

"Get out you're fired" Damon uttered, dryly.

Mr James glanced around the hall fearfully, he quickly stood up and

dashed towards the exit but before he could get to the door, his body began

to swallow up and then a loud bursting sound followed.

The rest of the shareholders shook vehemently in fear.

Damon's eyes suddenly snapped open, his eyes were dark and slightly red.

He stood up and quickly sat down on the floor, he shut his eyes tight as blood rolled down his nostrils,

He saw a girl, she walked into a small looking house...

He could trace her footsteps, her scent...he has finally found her!!

"I've found her!! Oden street at downtown!!! " Damon roared like a lion......
