Daisy’s Secret Crush

***Daisy’s POV.***

After coming to the penthouse, we discussed many things. Like why should I have a driver and maid? Why should I not drive and work too much? Why should I hire one more secretary?

His every argument and point was right in its place. He didn’t want me to take too much load when I have complications in my pregnancy. I lost my will to argue with him anymore as I didn’t want to and whatever he was doing was for me and the babies.

The reality that we are going to have two babies came down on us late at night. Theo was excited and nervous, thinking how my little body could hold them in.

“I would be fine and I’m not that little, okay.” I say.

“Whatever you say. But now you have to eat for three, so no more skipping any meals.” He says, and I shake my head with a smile.

“I love your care.” I say.

“I love you.” He says and kisses me.

“I love you too.” I say, and we sleep in each other’s arms.

Next morning, I got ready in clothes which Theo asked someone to bring for me.

I wear the pink knitted sweater dress and walking shoes which we ordered too. Theo makes sure that I eat the full breakfast and then introduces me to my driver. Rocco is a bulky man, but very good at his job.

Theo must have told him to be careful while driving because the drive was like butter and I almost fell asleep. I already told Molly last night to shift Ms. Benny’s meeting a little early, as in the afternoon I would be busy.

The meeting was a success and my team assured her that they would handle the project without any worry. I was impressed by their work. Everyone in the firm is working very excellently. They are giving their all for this firm to reach the top.

I really got lucky to have them. At lunchtime, I leave for the hospital. Theo told me he would be there before me and I smiled at that. He seems eager to know the results. I also hope everything is alright.

The doctor told me that I would need a dietician to manage my diet as there are some things I need to avoid and something that I should have for a healthy pregnancy. I have to follow this strict diet at any cost. She also told me that I have to come for a check-up every week till I reach the third trimester so she can closely keep an eye on my progress.

“Also, there could be a possibility of premature birth. But we will try our best that you at least complete 36 weeks of pregnancy, then we can opt for a C-section as normal delivery may not be possible.” She says.

“Okay.” I say

“It is very important that you follow everything I just said, Ms. Carter. So you can have a healthy pregnancy. One mistake could lead to drastic things. I hope you understand that conceiving those children was just a 5% of the process, but to keep them there, you have to avoid a stressful environment and be happy as much as you can.” She says and I nod.

“I’ll make sure that she stays away from stress.” Theo says and takes my hand and squeezes it.

“Thank you, doctor.” I say and we leave her cabin to meet the dietician next.

“I have to add a chef to the list too now.” He says.

“Oh my goodness!” I say and groan.

“And we can live together.” Theo says and my ears perk up.

“We can?” I ask.

“I mean, for two months we have to maintain this, but after that we are free to live together. So, can you move in with me?” He asks.

“I totally can. Us living together. It sounds so good. I would have you in my arms all the time.” I say.

“Well, it doesn’t sound fun. It sounds like heaven.” Theo says.

“Really?” I say, and he grabs my cheeks and kisses me hard.

“I have to hire a chef after this who could also be a maid. I will let you know if I find one. And also I have to avoid going to the Halloween party at Grandpa and Grandma’s house, as you can’t travel anywhere for now.” He says.

“No. You should go and have fun. I would be fine here. And besides, if you don’t go, they will get suspicious.” I say.

“But I don’t wanna leave you. I wanna stay with you.” Theo says cutely.

“I want you to stay with me, too. But it is just a matter of two months. Then we will be together forever.” I say.

“That sounds good. I’m looking forward to those days.” He says.

Later that night, I’m introduced to my chef, Damon. The reason Theo chose him is because he is strict and kind at the same time. He is also not a woman who can get jealous of me and mix something up. Also, Damon would cook for me at Theo’s house and send my meals through Rocco. The maid would be hired later on.

After two days, I got used to the new diet, which would have been bland if not for Damon’s expertise and creativity. I enjoyed every meal and started sending complimentary notes to him to show my appreciation.

Mom called and asked if I was coming to the Halloween party and I said no. There were two reasons first was obvious I couldn’t travel in this condition and second, I had too much work I had to complete if I wanted to take some days off in the future.

Nobody except Theo, Rocco and Damon knows about my pregnancy. I have kept it under wraps from everyone. I have to pass the first trimester safely and also the December, then only I can tell others about it.

“Promise me you’ll eat on time.” Theo asks.

He is going to leave, and I have come to meet him at the apartment and also to take Lovey with me. Lovey is leaving with Theo as she becomes more attached to him. But I have made my space too and so now I’m taking her with me while Theo is leaving.

“I cross my heart and promise that.” I say.

“Promise me you won’t drive.” He says.

“I cross my heart and promise that, too.” I say.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Promise me you will not work too hard and hire another assistant.” He says.

“I cross my heart and promise to think about it.” I say.

“Think hard then. I have to go to Vegas after that. I wish I could take you with me and just marry you there.” He says, and I look at him in shock.

“Theo!” I say, “Don’t say things like this in a joke.”

“Why would you think it’s a joke? I’m serious. And if you think about it is a kind of thrilling to run away and get married. Don’t you think so?” Theo says with a goofy grin on his face.

“Don’t give me ideas. And I can’t run away with you in this state.” I say.

“That means you are not opposed to the idea. And who says we have to run to get married? We can just go to the marriage bureau and get married.” He says.

“But we have to get a licence first.” I say, then realise what I said and I slap his arm lightly, “Stop it, Theo. No. We are not marrying like that. I want my family and friends to be there. And I want to get married near a beach.”

“Fine. Fine. I was just wondering if you are open to the idea. Because I am. Just the thought of you being mine forever makes me… happy and a winner.” He says and puts his head on my shoulder while I chuckle.

“Well, that would make me feel that way, too. But I want the whole world to see, I claimed you all mine.” I say and he looks up at me with a new possessive light in his eyes.

“That’s better too.” He says.

“And also you have to propose to me, in a better way than this. I’m not going to marry you with a lame proposal.” I say.

“Okay. I accept this was lame, but the next proposal would be swooning.” He says and kisses me one more time, then leaves for the Anderson estate from where he would go with others.

I have plans of my own when he comes back. I take Lovey and her stuff with me to my apartment. As Theo’s penthouse would be closed, Damon would make meals at his house and Rocco would deliver it as usual. Theo has arranged everything for that.

On Sunday, I go out to get some fruits and also some stuff for home and Rocco accompanies me. Sometimes I feel like he is more of a bodyguard than a driver. I have to talk about this to Theo. If this is true, he is in trouble.

While I look at the new massage chairs in the shopping mall, I see a woman whom I least expected to see here of all the places. The hair on the back of my neck stands up and I feel like I should follow her. My instincts were asking me just what she was up to.

As Rocco is busy looking at the new chair, I follow her before I can think again. I follow her as she passes the busiest aisle to a small open coffee shop. I stand behind a wall and look over at the place where she stopped. Looks like she is waiting for someone.

And when that person arrives, I’m shocked to my core. Looks like my instincts were right. Something is going to go down because the first woman was Val and the second was Sylvia.
