Daisy’s Secret Crush

***Daisy’s POV.***

“What?” Theo says as soon as I am over with telling him the story and my planning.

“I would have told you about this earlier but-” I say, but he cuts me off.

“But you wanted to take the stress of that news alone.” He says.

“No. I just knew that you would react quickly, and they would get alert. I didn’t want to give them another chance and sever them from our lives once and for all. So I let it happen. But don’t worry, soon everything will be fine.” I say.

“How? I don’t care about that. The only thing I care about is how much of a stress this must have been for you and still, you hid it from me. I don’t care about the reasons. You should have told me, Daisy. We are married. Wait, a second… Did you marry me because of this? Did you think I would be forced to marry Val?” He asks.

“No. I married you because I wanted to and also to protect you.” I say.

“Protect me how?” He asks.

“You will know soon. Everything will be fine.” I say.

“How, Daisy? I want words.” He says and I sigh and tell him everything, “Jeez. I know you are smart, Daisy, but that does not mean you should consider yourself above basic explanation. If you had told me and explained everything to me, I would have been there for you. But it looks like neither you trust me nor do you think I am important enough to be informed about this. And here I was trying my everything to make sure that you don’t take any stress as this pregnancy is important to you.”

“Is it not important to you?” I ask.

“It is, my wife. Making you happy is my life’s only goal now. And don’t change the subject.” He says.

“Then what now? Do you want to punish me? Do you want to scold me some more?” I ask, “What’s the point of this? I did what I thought was right at that time. You were already stressed with so many things and I wanted you to be happy for some time. Because my happiness lies with you. After such a long time you were smiling and relaxing a little. And I knew if you knew about this, you would react to it at that time and then they would keep haunting us all the time. I want to be done with them once and for all so I can be happy with you and so can our kids. I am sorry if you thought or felt I don’t trust you or you are not important. But you are wrong. You are important to me the most. I love you, damn it.”

“Please don’t cry.” He says and tries to console me, but I push his arms away.

“First you scold me, then ask me not to cry.” I say.

“I am sorry. Please don’t cry.” He says and puts his arms around me.

I cry for some time on his shoulder and then drink some water when he offers me and says, “Did you forgive me?”

“Do you think I can stay mad at you right now? You know very well I can’t. But Daisy, we are married now. Promise me you won’t try to be a hero all the time and go solo. You saved me and I am grateful and proud, but that doesn’t mean I am not hurt.” He says.

“I am sorry. And I love you.” I say, and he sighs and runs his hand through his head.

“I love you too.” He says with a smile and I hug him.

He would be upset for some time but I know he will get over it, but that doesn’t mean I would repeat my mistake again. But I also hope there is no next time for something like this.

“So, what’s going to happen next?” He asked.

“See for yourself.” I say and turn the volume up on the TV.

‘We have been trying to contact Theo Anderson’s partner and long-time friend, Olivia. And according to her statement, “Whatever is said against Mr. Anderson is false. Someone is trying to sabotage him. That doesn’t mean he is not in a relationship because he is, but the person is not Ms. Cooper but someone else who Mr. Anderson knows for a long time and just recently they have rekindled their relationship.”…’

“So we are going to tell the world about us?” He asks.

“Not today. Just after New Year.” I say with a smile.

“Well, but first we have to tell our family.” He says.

“Yes. We are leaving tomorrow. I hope they will be fine.” I say.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Did you tell the media about our secret wedding?” He asks.

“No.” I say.

“Why?” He asks.

“It was our private moment, which I don’t want to share with anyone but our family.” I say, and he smiles down at me.

I tell everything I have done during these past two months and the evidence I have gathered with the help of Rocco. I assured Theo that I had not even moved a muscle, nor did I get involved in this personally. One of Toby’s friends is in the media and through that, I contacted her and gave her the evidence so she can get an even bigger scoop and promotion.

We spend the night in and next morning pack up to stay with our family for a week. That way, we could be away from the media and let the news settle in with our family, which I am dreading as we get near the time to leave. As reporters are surrounding the residence, Theo asked Ryan’s friend to send some more security for us.

“Ready?” Theo asks when we reach the Anderson estate.

“Yes.” I say and open the door.

“Where are Mom and Dad?” Theo asks Ryan when he comes out.

“They are waiting for you in the living room, along with Wyatt and Viola. I told them what you told me.” He says.

“What did you tell him?” I ask.

“Nothing, just we want to reveal something.” He says.

“They already are guessing things. By the way, congratulations.” Ryan says, looking at my hand, which is on my bump, and I nod with a smile.

Theo takes my hand and together we enter the living room to reveal everything about us.
