Daisy's POV:
I sat up on my bed with my head bursting with the headache. I drank too much last night and passed out. Wait, if I passed out then how did I come home?
I looked around to find an unfamiliar surrounding. I looked down to find my clothes changed too. "You're awake", a voice came from the door almost startling me to death. I saw a guy coming towards me.
"Who are you? Where am I?", I asked him. "Baby girl, is this the way you talk to someone who saved you?", the guy asked. I gave him a confused look. He came forward and stood in front of me.
"Last night, you drank too much and then I saved you from being taken advantage of then you drank too much and passed out. Since you said you didn't wanna go home so I brought you here at my Mansion", he said with a smile.
"Thank you for saving me", I said as I roughly remembered some part. "May I know your name?", I asked. "Xavier Knight", he said. Oh, so he's Xavier Knight.
Knights are the most prestigious family in the world and the richest. They have business in almost every sector. This man is the eldest son and the CEO of Knight Groups. He's known for his cruelty and ruthlessness. I also heard that they are related to the underworld.
"Don't be afraid, baby girl. I won't hurt you", he said pulling me out of my thoughts. "Once again thank you, Mr. Knight", I said politely. He smiled and bent down to my eye level.
"Baby girl, you were arrogant a while ago and now you're so polite. I'm afraid I need to discipline you a bit", he said in a seductive tone. I blinked a few times before speaking as I realized what he said.
"You're shameless just like that guy. No difference. You all think that you can use a girl? In your dreams. I wasn't in a mood to argue last night so I agreed to take your help. You think you can take advantage of me?", I yelled.
"Baby girl, I helped you. I'm not here to take advantage of you. If I wanted then I could have done that long time ago", he said and stood straight. I thought for a while and he was right. He could have taken advantage of me last night but he didn't.
"I'm sorry", I felt guilty. "Its okay, baby girl. We have the lifetime to discipline", he said and patted my head. Before I could think what he actually meant, he spoke. "I'll have someone to bring you your clothes."
He walked out of the room. I showered and put on the clothes he send for me. It was a light blue bodycon dress that ended around my mid thigh and matching heels. I let my wavy hairs flow down.
I went downstairs. The maids took me to the dining table where Xavier sat like a King wearing beige three piece suit. His hairs styled properly backwards making his hairs look fluffy. He looked devilishly handsome.
"Sit, baby girl", he said. I sat across him on the first chair. Suddenly, I felt someone moving on my ankle. I looked down to see a Tiger resting around my feet. I looked up and then down again as I realized it was a tiger.
I screamed. "Ah!!! There's a Tiger", I jumped and pulled my legs up to protect myself. "It won't harm you. Dan, don't scare our guest", Xavier said and the tiger moved away. How can someone have have Tiger as a pet?!
I slowly calmed as the tiger moved away. "Tell me, why you didn't wanted to go home last night?", Xavier asked. "Can I decline to answer?", I asked slowly. He nodded. I sighed.
"Baby girl, do you think I'll not recognize the first daughter of the Evans?", he asked. I looked up at him to find him smiling. "Since you know who I am then why didn't you send me home last night?", I asked him.
"Because you were sad. When I mentioned home, you seemed to be lost. When you were drunk you were calling out for your mom", he said. I looked down not wanting to say anything.
We had our breakfast in silence. "You wanna go home now?", he asked slowly. I shook my head. He sighed. "If I go home, auntie will marry me off to someone who will beat me", I said in an almost inaudible voice.
"Why will she do that?", he asked. I could feel a bit strain in his voice as if he was angry. "She wants me to step aside so that my step sister will be the next heir", I explained to him honestly. I don't know why but I felt as if I wanted him to know. I felt as if only he can protect me.
"Marry me", he said. I looked at him in shock. "Your stepmother wants to marry you off to some who is not capable and will treat you badly. You can marry me then you can revenge on her for everything she did. I'll not take advantage of you in any way. You can rest assure."
"Why... why do you want to help me?", I asked looking into his eyes. "Because baby girl, you are the first one to scold me", he chuckled. "Don't worry, I'll protect you from everyone. Only I can bully you and not else is allowed", he bent down and kissed on my cheek.
I blushed. "Shall we go get married?", he asked. I widened my eyes. Are we getting married now? "Yes, babygirl. We will marry now", he answered as if he read my mind.
We went to the registration office and registered our marriage. Woah! I'm married now. Like seriously?! I met this man last night and now I'm married to him. Like wow!! We discussed this thing an hour ago and now we are married.
"My little wife, congratulations on our married life", Xavier said and pecked on my lips catching me off guard. I blushed. He chuckled, "You know you look so cute when you blush. Like a little kitten."
I glared at him. He laughed. "Shall we go to your family and tell them about our happy married life?", he asked and I nodded. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him as we walked to his car.
We reached my Villa. "This is all my fault. I should have disciplined her properly. It's because I pampered her so much." I heard auntie's voice coming from the Villa and frowned.
I and Xavier walked in to find my dad calling someone and asking them to find me as soon as possible. "Dad", I called out. He turned and saw me as he came rushing towards me.
"Princess, you okay?", he asked and I nodded. He looked beside me. "Mr. Knight..." Xavier gave a stern smile which would make anyone shiver in fear.
We walked inside in the living room. "Where were you last night?", auntie asked. I looked at her and then at Stella who was looking at Xavier flirtatiously. I frowned.
How dare she look at my man like that? He is my husband. Only I can look at him like that. Isn't she good with her so called boyfriends? Wait... why am I being like this? We just met last night and got married a while ago. Why am I being jealous?!
I looked at the man beside me. His face was cold and terrifying. Anyone would be scared to death looking at his face. It was the whole opposite to what looks he gives me. He looked at me and smiled warmly. A smiled appeared on my face too. This man makes me feel safe so much.
"Dad, last night, I....", I didn't know what to say or how to explain. "Actually, she got into an incident and couldn't come home last night", Xavier helped me. I sighed silently.
"Are you okay? Where are you hurt?", dad started checking for the injuries. "Dad, I'm fine. It was a small incident", I assured him. When he couldn't find any injury other than the ones from the last time he was relieved.
"Thank you for taking care of her, Mr Knight", dad said politely. Xavier gave a small smile. "Dad, I wanna say something", I spoke slowly. "What is it?", dad asked. I took a deep breath.
"I and Xavier are married. We were in a relationship for quite a long time and then when it was decided that I'll be married off, I went to him and we got married", I confidently said.
I heard many gasps from everyone. "Daisy, you don't have to lie to us. I know that you don't want to get married at such young age but it's for your own good. I and your dad won't live much as we are getting older. You don't have to lie", auntie said. I frowned.
Before I could say something, Xavier spoke. "She isn't lying. We are married." His voice was as cold as the ice. I could see anger and jealousy in Stella's and auntie's eyes.
"Are you happy with your decision?", dad asked.
Am I happy? Well, maybe yes. This man beside me makes me feel safe and secure around him. I don't know if I love him or not as we just met a night back but I'm sure I like him a bit. He makes me feel protected and safe around him. It's as if he will not allow anyone or anything harm me. He will protect me from all the cruel things around.
"Yes, daddy. I'm happy", I smiled as I held Xavier's hand. It felt warm around him. Even though he seems to be cold to everyone for me he's the man who will protect me no matter what.
"Then I'm happy", dad said with a smile and patted my head. I looked at Stella and her mom. Did they think that they would just send me away to someone to make my life hell?! Well no. The Devil is by my side.
I'll make them all pay for everything they did to me in the past. Auntie wants my dad's money, right? I'll make sure she's penniless and begs me. I'll make them pay for throwing my mom's things.
