Chapter 21

  Daisy's POV

  The birth of Ellah came unexpectedly...she was born prematurely. And it came as an eye-opener to me that the reality of motherhood was now at my doorstep.

  It was something I couldn't escape, something I couldn't let go of and the experience of labor was unforgettable.

  During labor, I remembered the pleasure her father and I both derived from producing her.

  And I was on the verge of cursing him when Nina burst into the labor room despite the protest from the nurses. She bluntly told them she was my mother and she was Nina Gomez. I felt like crying at that instant.

  My life took a great unexpected turn. There I was, trying to push out the only precious gift I got from my overnight stand, with a stranger beside me claiming to be my mother.

  I really felt like her daughter the moment she held my left hand, caressing it and whispering encouraging words to my ears.
