Chapter 248
I woke at early, I say woke but I didn’t exactly sleep. The longer I considered the words of Calix the more I felt like it was a mistake to stay. He’s right, but he’s only right because he clearly doesn’t want me. I can’t and would never want a child when he is so cold and constantly pushing me away.
Demitri and Marcello are amazing, but theres no way I can be with them and see Calix, it’s all or nothing. I came to that conclusion sometime during the night. I can’t have just D and Marc, I need them all. I can’t face seeing Calix every day and him not want me.
So my only choice is to walk away. I debated staying and saying goodbye but I know if I did that it would be harder to walk away. I couldn’t look D and Marc in the face and walk out of the door. So my only choice is leave before they wake.
Packing a small bag I grab some things, putting the jewellery in boxes I place them on the bed, and say goodbye to this life, goodbye to being their family. I fought back the tears as I walked out, his guard tried stopping me and I showed him my contract. He didn’t even try to fight me on it, which made me think Calix had told them to let me leave.
No way would their guards just let me walk out without his approval. I walked for two hours before I ended up outside the club. I wasn’t sure why I had came to it, but I walked in and asked for Rose. She was surprised to see me but had called me through.
Chapter 243
So here I am sitting and considering everything as she looks at me waiting.
“Not a business visit I am guessing considering you have a bag.” Rose
looks at me and I nod.
“Calix gave me my freedom, he signed the contract to free me.” Even saying it out loud it sounds wrong.
“And you took your chance to run.” She laughs and I shake my head.
“No, I stayed knowing I had it. Calix doesn’t want me, so I walked. I don’t know why I came here, so I’m sorry.” I don’t know why I did.
“Look, I heard you were taken, word travels fast about what they did. If you want to leave just leave Daisy.” She smiles at me and I nod.

“I thought they loved you.” Her words are quiet and she looks at me. confused.
“Marcello and Demitri do, but Calix? I don’t even know.” I don’t, he
isn’t ready to figure out.
“Because he slept with Rosalie right?” She laughs and I look at her shocked. “You’re forgetting a guard was there spying, everyone knows he slept with her.”
Chapter 249
“It’s not just that. Before Rosalie, he pushed me away. Said I had Stolkhalm syndrome, and everything else. He had finally given in pushing me away, then he went distant again and I know it was to make people think I was nothing, but he slept with Rosalie, I was there months and he hadn’t touched me. He then told me not to push away Demitri and Marcello, and he admitted he loved me, things finally felt like they were going well.”
“I can tell you now, any woman Calix had ever seen he had no issues fucking them the first night they met.”
“Which I know, but then he gave me the contract and said it was to keep me safe in case someone hurt me until he signed me over. He was looking at me weird though, then I was taken and when I said it was like he realised he didn’t want me, he didn’t even argue.”
“Maybe that is it? Maybe he liked you Daisy but then after sleeping together and everything he realised it was just he craved you because. Marcello and Demitri had you?”
That makes sense, I nod. Maybe that is what it was, he saw me with Marc and D and wanted me but then realised I was nothing?
“Look, Marc sent out a message to the business owners asking for updates if anyone sees you.”
“I will go.” I move to stand and she stops me.
“No you will stay.” She walks to the door calling out to Trevor,

explaining to him he stays at the door and blocks the Devil’s from coming in and why. She shuts the door and sits back down.
“You shouldn’t do this for me, not when they will blame you.” I know they will.
“They gave you freedom, they can’t demand you go with them. It’s wrong. Do you know what you plan to do?”
Sitting I think about it and talk to her, an hour passing and I realise I need to leave this city. I can’t go to the Wolversons either, they have a pact, no doubt the Wolversons would tell them everything.
“Look, I can get you fake documents, then no matter where you go if less someone knows your face no one will tell them anything.” Maybe that is the way forward? I hear shouting and we turn to the door, her eyes rolling.
“I should just go.” I should before Calix really kills everyone.
“No, stay here.” She walks to the door and closes it and I can hear them arguing, rolling my eyes I stand and grab my things deciding just to leave. I hear Rose scream and open the door. Calix has Trevor pinned down.
“Enough!” I shout and they all look at me. “What the fuck is wrong with you Calix? You gave me freedom and pretty much told me to fuck off and that you didn’t want me, now you’re beating a guy for protecting me from you?”
Chapter 248
“I wanted to talk.” He looks up at me.
“Talk? You did enough of that last night. Let him go, you can’t give me freedom then hurt people for helping me. Why won’t you just leave me alone?” I look at him, fighting back the tears.
“I…” He looks around and I wait. “Just come back and talk, please.”
“No, why do you want me to Calix? To tell me not to leave D and Marc? Because I won’t stay anywhere near you, I made my choice, so respect it.
“NO!” I turn and see D, I didn’t know they were here. “He might be a dick, but we deserve answers. We deserve to know everything. You just left without even saying goodbye!” He looks at crying, I want to tell him it doesn’t matter but this is why I left without saying goodbye. because now I want to sit and talk to him.
“Ten minutes, after those ten minutes you leave me alone.” I see hurt on his face but he nods agreeing and walks into the office.
“I will ensure no one comes in.” Rose smiles at me. Moving, I reach down and help Trevor up.
“I’m sorry.” He shouldn’t have been hurt for me.
“It’s fine Daisy, if a woman needs protecting I am happy to give my life

to the cause.” He smiles and kisses my cheek walking off, I see Calix glaring at him.
“If you want to sit and listen, then fine. I don’t want to hear you. though.” I walk in and sit down. I can’t even look at them. This is hurting, why couldn’t they have just let me leave?
“Do you not love us?” I look up hearing Marcello.
“It isn’t about that.”
“Yes it is! How can you say it isn’t, if you love us that’s all that matters.” Demitri explains.
“It doesn’t, because I accepted there is no way I can live with you three and ignore how I feel about Calix. I accepted that if I don’t get all three. of you, I want none of you. I’m also sure you three agreed with Rosalie it was all three of you or none.”
“What if we don’t live with Calix?” D looks at me begging, and I almost cry seeing Calix look hurt.
“He’s your brother, your family, that would be wrong.”
“You’re our family!” D shouts at me and I shake my head.
“DI never was, for me to be family it meant all three of you accepting
Chapter 248
me and you didn’t all accept me.”
“Tell her!” Marcello looks at Calix.
“No, don’t. I have had enough of him telling me shit. I know what he thinks.” I don’t want to keep going in circles.
“No you don’t know, because he fucking lied, so tell her the truth.” Marcello looks at Calix and he looks up at me.
“The morning I gave the contract, I was worried, You cried after that night, sure you said it was because you thought about the past, before us. Part of me was worried you cried because we did something you really didn’t like.”
“What…?” I stare at him
“You had only been with us separately, never in that room. Then we all joined together, in that room. You said after you was crying because of something from the past, but somewhere I felt like we pushed too hard, too much.”
“Why wouldn’t you just say!”
“Because it was a reason to make you think I didn’t want you. So I let you believe that was why.

“I didn’t lie about why I cried Calix, been with you three made me realise how different things were. Not once did you three go too far, not once did you hurt me. I never at any point felt scared.” I look at him, he should have told me.
“So now you know, please come back.” D looks at me and shake my head.
“D that is one small fucking thing. He was happy to push me away and make me leave, how he felt is the same, that is just one thing that he lied about it doesn’t change how he feels.”
“Do you really think he doesn’t love you?” Marcello looks at me, and I look at Calix.
I don’t know, I shrug my shoulders and looks back at Marcello. “I don’t know Marcello, but tell me something, how would you feel if I did. what he did. Refused to touch you for months, said you had Stolkholm. syndrome, fucked someone else, gave in and then pushed you away again.”
“I’m not saying don’t be hurt and upset by what he did, but please. He pushed you away through fear again, and this time he ran, you actually left us.” Marcello looks at me waiting.
“Little birdie, how he acted is proof he loves you, he’s scared. You’re both running and pushing each other away. Please don’t leave us.” D sits looking at me waiting. I wipe my eyes and look around.

“What will it take to prove I do love you?” I turn and look at Calix. “Tell me Daisy, I will do everything.”
“I don’t know anymore Calix, because when you do something that shows me you love me, you wipe it out and make me feel even worse.
“Then give me time. I’m sorry, I was worried that when you realised you lost a baby you would hate us. I thought it would hurt less if I made you leave us before, but I was wrong it still hurt the same. Please come back.” He looks at me waiting.
“I don’t know what to do. Part of me wants to say yes because I missed you all, and I don’t want to lose you. Part of me though, wants to say no to protect myself from next time, as there will be a next time when you do this to me.”
I look between them and nod.
“I will agree, on one condition, and I want this written down and signed.” They all look at me now. “If you push me away Calix and I walk, you all accept I am gone. You don’t chase me down, you don’t come finding me. You leave me the hell alone.”
“No!” I turn and look at D.
“D, just agree.” Marcello looks at him.
“No, because that’s not fair! If Calix pushes her away and makes her
Chapter 248
run we just have to accept it? No. I have a deal for you little birdie. If he ever makes you feel like this again, I kill him.” D stands looking at me waiting, and I roll my eyes.
“He’s your brother.”
“And you’re my wife, that doesn’t mean I should lose you because of him.”
I laugh. “I’m not you fucking wife D, are you crazy?” He shrugs and
smiles.
“To me you are. Please?” He looks at me with his puppy dog fucking eyes and I nod, barely finishing the nod before I am unable to breath. and his arms are around me. “Please don’t leave me again.” His words are whispered in my ear. “I don’t want to live without you.”
Moving, I wrap my arms and legs around him and he holds me. I feel like I’m going to regret this.
“Home, let’s sort through things and talk.” Marcello looks at us and I shake my head.
“No, we had things to finish today. We do that first.” I don’t want to go. back and know Dean and Richard are there waiting.
