"Mrs Beneath?" Dr. BenjaminDrrrowed her eyes as she stared at me.
"Are you alright? " he furrowed his brows at me with concern.
I looked up at Dr BenjaminDrface but it was all blurred, I didn't realize whenrealisebegan rolling down my cheek.
"Yes." My voice quivered "Yes, everything's perfect. Thank you, thank you so much doctor."

After I left the doctor's office, I drove out of the hospital, calling Finn but each attempt went straight to voicemail.
My body felt to light, like I would float out of the car, the excitement was swirling inside of me.
I pictured what Finn's face would look like when I broke the news to him. The way his eyes would light up, the way they had on our wedding day before everything suddenly changed.
This would fix everything. This baby would bring back the man I married because lately he had been so distant from me and I understand.
I turned the wheel, tyres squealing since I had just changed my mind. I couldn't wait for him to be back from work. I'd surprise him by showing up at the office, take him to that Italian place he loved, then break the news to him.
The car came to a halt in front of the Benneth group and I stepped out of the car.
The elevator to the fifteenth floor took forever. I checked my reflection in the elevator doors, mascara smudged and my eyes red but it didn't matter. He would definitely understand.
The reception desk sat empty with Laura nowhere around.
I didn't need permission to go in, so I walked toward Finn's office, my eyes still lit up and my lips curled into a permanent smile.
I reached for the door handle but immediately came to an abrupt halt at the sound from within.
"Finn, stop, we're at the office, someone might hear us"
That was Laura's voice in a Playful and Breathy tone.
My hand froze at a spot and my heart had stopped. I couldn't breathe even if I wanted to.
"I Don't care!" His voice is lower than I have heard it in months. "Can't keep my hands off you. Even when I'm with Daisy, I'm thinking about you."
The sound that followed was wet and hungry, it was a soft moan.
The envelope slipped from my other hand. It hit the floor without sound.
"If you love me so much, why haven't you divorced her yet?" Laura's voice came through again "I'm pregnant, Finn. I've given you what she couldn't for three years"
Then there was silence, followed by movement, it was the sound of Fabric rustling.
I knew I couldn't stand there, I should either confront them or walk out of there, but the excitement in my eyes was now replaced with tears.
I badly wanted to run, but my legs were stuck, my heart broken into tiny pieces I could never recover from.
"You're right, baby. And I'm grateful. But I need her shares of Bennet Corporation first. Once she signs those over......"
"She's not stupid. Daisy won't just hand over her inheritance."
A belt buckle and I could hear the continuous sound of moaning.
"God, yes....just like that." Finn's groan rattled through the door. "Don't worry about Daisy. I have a plan. Soon she'll be out of our way for good."
My feet moved backwards, then another but I didn't realise there was a vase behind me.
I felt it tip before I heard it shatter. Water soaked through my shoes as Glass scattered across the floor.
Without thinking, I turned around to run, but only made it three steps before my heel caught a shard. I went down hard, palms skidding.
"What the hell....."
The door flew open as Finn stood there, shirt half-buttoned, belt undone. His eyes found mine. Widened in shock Then something else crossed his face.
It was a cold stare.
"Daisy." He smoothed his shirt, fingers working buttons. "What are you doing here?"
I pushed myself up, and really realised I had cut one of the shard glasses as blood filled my palm.
"I came to surprise you, guess I ended up getting surprised" Each word pierced straight into my heart like a knife.
His gaze travelled my body, the torn stockings, the wet skirt, the blood. His lip curled, just slightly but I had seen it before it disappeared.
"How long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough."
Laura appeared behind him, blouse gaping open, lipstick smeared. She didn't even have the decency to look ashamed.
"Daisy, listen......" Finn stepped forward.
"What you heard, it's not, it was a mistake. It won't happen again."
The laugh that escaped me didn't sound like mine since it was so cold and bitter hearing such an apology from him.
Never could I imagine that after three years, three years of giving my all to this man, I had to step away from the company and let him take over and now this was the apology I was faced with.
"I can see that" I spoke casually, wiping off any trace of tears from my eyes because I was not about to let them see my weakness.
Fin walked closer to me, this time he had put on a more emotional front.
"I know I messed up, I am sorry, it was all Laura who had seduced me"
"All of this because of my shares?" I called out his facade and his face immediately went blank before a dark smile curled through his lips.
"I am sorry you had to find out like this, but there is nothing any of us can do now"
"No! You are wrong, there is definitely something I can do about it, you will be hearing from my lawyer and as for working for the company, I think this would be your last"
I forced a cold smile on my face as I spoke with finality. I turned around to walk away from this shameless act.
"I am afraid Daisy, that won't be happening!" He spoke out and I came to a halt, turning around to face him.
"You won't be able to divorce me and neither can you take this company away from me!"
His lips curled up, I could see darkness I had never seen in him before, Finn was more dangerous than I had known for three years and right there, a cold shiver ran down my spine.
