THE LIES WE LOVE : IT'S THE OBSESSION

CHAPTER 12

DAISY BLACKWOOD

Removing Luca's hand from my bare stomach I got up and put on a t-shirt and made my way to the bathroom. Everything from today was unexpected as well. No matter how much I try to stop it, I know it will happen.

And the days that are to arrive, there will be big changes.

I don't know what Rose will do and I have a feeling I won't be liking it.

And I have a new brother? Anthony?

So, that means dad has a family. A family of their own that they have built which does not include me, Aaron or my mother.

After taking the t-shirt off I turned on the shower. Tears built up in my eyes as I thought of mom. After the incident we moved to a different city. Where my mom started everything from scratch.

She worked day and night to provide bread for me and Aaron. There were times where she did five different jobs daily. She would go an entire year without shopping just so she could buy clothes for me and Aaron. She struggled so much before she was able to stand on her feet. Then we moved back to the city. She wanted to secure a better future for her children. She saved enough money and bought the house where we live now.

My uncle Jonathan, Rory's dad, wanted to help her in every step but she always refused. She was strong and fierce. She did take some money from him in the beginning but returned it as soon as she had enough money.

Through all this, her love and affection towards me and Aaron never lacked. And just when we had everything, fate did the cruellest thing to us. It took our mother away from us.

Uncle Jonathan became our legal guardian and took us in. He did so much for us. In all that chaos, my mom never had the time to think for herself. She always thought of me and my brother. She was barely holding onto her life so the thought of remarriage never occurred. Let alone having another child.

But dad...

As far as I remember, he was wealthy. And now he was married again and had a child. He built another family that had nothing to do with mom. I don't know how long I have been standing underneath the cold water but I finally stopped it.

Finally brushing my teeth I wrapped a big towel around me and got out. Luca was still sleeping. After coming from the hospital my mind became blank. I just needed a way out. And Luca was the best person for it.

I didn't tell him anything. Not did I plan on it.

I stared at his bare back as he was asleep. Do I love him? This is the question that pops up in my mind every time. Everytime I sleep with him. I know for a fact that I like him. Like a lot but right after I come back from high of my sexual desires, all I feel is an empty hole in my heart. I do think it will fill up each time we get closer but it only seems to expand. I cannot exactly talk to Aurora about it. Because what am I going to say?

Hey so every time me and your brother have sex, I feel numb. Like something is missing there.

Hell no.

And Rory turns into a tomato whenever we bring up anything related to sex even though her major is biology. So no. Suddenly my phone vibrated on the nightstand. It was an unknown number.

"Hello?"

"Hello. I am Maria from Serenity Health Care. Am I speaking to Daisy Blackwood?"

"Yes."

"I am pleased to inform you that the patient Aaron is now ready for discharge. All necessary preparations have been made, and we are ready to facilitate the patient's release whenever it is convenient for you. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you."
