Daisy’s Secret Crush

***Daisy’s POV.***

“What are you doing here, Miss?” Rocco asks and I almost have a heart attack because of his sudden arrival at my side.

“I’m trying to eavesdrop on them.” I say as I point at the two women who are right now trying to find a place to sit.

“You can’t hear anything from here. And why are you trying to hear what they are saying?” He asks.

“They both know Theo and one of them is an ex-bed partner. Whatever, but another one is someone who was trying to trap her. We have to know what they are saying.” I say.

“Give me your phone.” Rocco says suddenly.

“But why?” I ask.

“Just hurry.” He says and I give him my phone. He does something and puts on earbuds, then gives me my phone back.

“What are we doing?” I ask.

“I have called you and would sit as near to them as I can so you can hear what they are talking about and also talk to me.” He says, pointing at his earbuds, “As only I can hear you.”

“Good work. You just saved Theo from getting scolded.” I say.

“What?” He asks.

“Nothing. Go.” I say.

“Be careful. You should not be seen by them, otherwise they will get suspicious and alert.” He says.

“Okay.” I say and hide properly at a distance and sit in a chair from where I could see them, but they can’t see me.

For a few seconds, I don’t hear anything, but then the voices start coming clearly.

“So, is the package ready?” Val asks.

“Yes. My man has all the proof we need.” Sylvia says this time.

“Great. So when are we going to the media with it?” Val asks.

“On Christmas Eve.” Sylvia says, and I don’t know what they are talking about.

“On Christmas. But Christmas is not for another two months. Till then, what should we do?” Val asks, or more like whines.

“Try to understand we have many things to do until then. We have to make sure that you are seen with him as many times as possible to make this story strong. Also, we have to forge some fake medical reports for you.” Sylvia says.

“No need to forge it when I can just conceive.” Val says, and I can hear a smirk in her voice.

“And what if you can’t?” Slyvia asks and after a pause says, “We have to prepare for everything. Theo has to fall into this trap at any cost.”

That perks my ear up. They are trying to trap my Theo. And what are they talking about? What proof has she gathered that she is going to hand over the media? What reports do they want to get forged?

“He will, and so will others. Our plan is immaculate. The only problem is that woman he is dating.” Val says.

“Don’t worry about Daisy. Once Theo is in a scandal, she would leave him to save her position for sure. And when he is all alone, you can come and save his ass. But not before I see him on his knees. That’s what I want most.” Sylvia says with venom in her voice.

“Why do you hate him so much?” Val asks the question I wanted to ask.

“It is because of him that now my father is disrespected in society. He is not getting money from anyone. From the best investor, he is now the worst one. Just because you invested your money in us, we can at least afford a decent home with two maids. But once I snatch everything away and you can make him yours, I’ll get more money from your father. So it is a fair deal. But we are reduced to this all because of him. He has to just marry me and do nothing else. But obviously, he has to make a big fuss about it.” Sylvia says.

“Don’t worry, my father will pay you more than he promised once we trap big fish. But please tell me, why are we waiting for that long?” Val asks.

“Because he has a deadline till the new year. So picture this, on Christmas there is a scandal. Theo can’t board a jet immediately and loses initial funds from his Bristol hotel. Then he loses his good reputation. His family turns against him and so does his girlfriend. He tries to find a way to get out of this. But he can’t. Then I enter and mock him. But then you’ll enter and put forth a condition to save him. Obviously marrying you would be a good option for him, as the scandal is going to be with you. So before the new year, he will get his empire back. And he stays rich.” Sylvia says, and I gasp at the phone.

“These girls are so delusional.” I say.

“I must say you have a good plan.” Val says, and I roll my eyes at them.

“I know. Now we have to find a doctor who can forge fake pregnancy reports in exchange for good money.” Sylvia says.

“Okay.” Val says. I see them getting up and get up and hide in a vase aisle.

Oh, my goodness! Those two are planning to ruin Theo’s life with their so-called plan. But I can’t take them lightly. Media is a powerful thing. They can change simple news into a bigger one. No doubt they are depending on them so that they can trap Theo. And obviously, they think I would leave Theo, as his reputation would make me lose everything.

They are so delusional. But I will break their delusion, that too very harshly. No mercy would be shown to them for messing with my beau, for sure. As I think that I made up a plan in my head already.

Rocco finds me and before he could ask, I say, “We will talk about this in private.”

We buy the things we were here for, then go to my apartment, where Damon is also waiting. He has come himself to deliver the food. We get in and while Damon and Rocco cook; I jot down some points.

“So, are we going to talk about what happened earlier?” Rocco opens the conversation, “I have to report to Mr. Anderson too.”

“Don’t report this to him.” I say immediately.

“But-” Rocco says, but I interrupt him.

“No, Rocco. I don’t want Theo to know about any of these. Because I know what he would do, which would be a bad idea. We can’t stop them right now. Because if we do, they will find another way. We have to let them move forward, but this time they will move and we will monitor their movements.” I say.

“What do you mean?” He asks as he gets interested.

“So this is my plan.” I say and explain in detail what we should do.

If Val and Sylvia are going to plan patiently, we can do that too and we would be one step ahead of them.

After dinner, Rocco and Damon leave. Rocco stays in an apartment next to mine, which I don’t know how he acquired. I take Lovey to my bed and hold her close. Theo called earlier, and we talked for a while, but I didn’t mention my discoveries.

I miss him and would have liked to tell him everything, but I don’t want him to get into all this and lose his focus. Right now, Val and Sylvia are missing some of the information. One that Theo has a new company. Second, we are very serious. Third, I’m pregnant. And many facts they have yet to notice.

And I want to keep it that way. I don’t want them to know so my plan could have time to take place between their glitches. The coming two months are going to be very exciting, as it has been a while since I let my brain do evil plans. But it would be fun for sure.

I smile as I go to sleep.

Next two days, I focused on my work while Rocco did the work for me. I made sure not to cross paths with the conspirators again so they wouldn’t get much suspicious of me. But Rocco gives me all the information I need. I called Noah, as I wanted his help with some things. And he is the only person I trust the most to keep this a secret for me. He promised to visit me soon, as he would accompany Theo to Manhattan.

That evening, when I reach my apartment, Theo takes me in his embrace and says, “I miss you so much. More than anyone in the world. I am not leaving till you give birth and maybe not even after that.”

“I’ll make sure you keep that promise, Mr. Anderson.” I say and kiss him hard.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

As I hug him hard, I promise to lie to Theo till everything is solved. The next two months are going to be tough too.
