Battle of the Heir and Heiress (Heir And Heiress #1) (COMPLETED) ✔

Kiss and run

"All students are expected to move to the bus now or you'll be left behind." A voice bellows into a speakerphone from outside the tent and I break out of whatever haze I was in.

We both pull apart hurriedly, eyes wide with pupils dilated.Realization of what I just did dawns on me and I recoil in shock.

I just kissed Hunter!

Hunter just kissed me!

This was no doubt the best kiss of my life, not that I have any kiss to compare it to.

Cold reality sets in and I recall that this was the same Hunter that was kissing Taylor yesterday. The same Hunter that probably spent the night with Taylor.

I stand up and adjust my cloth then place King inside my handbag. I pick up my bags and make a move to walk out the tent.

"Daisy please wait, I'm so sorry......" Hunter blocks my way looking apologetic.

"It's .....Let's just forget this ever happened" I cut him off from what he was about to say.

"Yeah, but this doesn't change anything about us right?" He asks like the kiss didn't mean anything.

"It doesn't" I mumble barely holding the tears and ducking my head while walking past him to avoid him seeing how my eyes have watered up due to his quick dismissal of the kiss.

I walk out the tent and drop my luggage for those who were arranging it before joining my friends in the bus that was taking us to the airport. As soon as they notice my face, their faces also scrunch up in worry.

"What happened?" They ask together.

"I don't wanna talk about it" I murmur, my lips wobbling.

They don't pester me to talk even though I doubt they don't know what's going on yet. I mean there is nothing to hide with my swollen lips and disheveled state. Instead, Chloe rests my head on her shoulder while Bloom rubs my back calmingly.

I bite my lips and I can swear I could still taste him there.It doesn't matter anymore though, camp was over.

I spend the rest of the bus and flight trip sleeping because I didn't sleep much the previous night. Luckily for me, King was silent throughout the whole trip so no one found out about him. And when we get back to the city, everyone was welcomed by their family. I was welcomed by our driver, but I understand, my father always disappears for three days after my mother's death anniversary.

I go home to meet the house empty except for some house helps that were finishing their job before leaving for the day.

Our large home becomes eerily silent. This was what I was used to, why does it all seem so strange now?

I spend the last weeks of the holiday eating, sleeping,watching netflix and finishing my project; everyone had been informed to complete their project individually due to the fact that they were unable to complete it together because the camp was cut short.

***********************************

School is resuming tomorrow and I can't stop the dread creeping up my spine at the thought of seeing Hunter again. Maybe he would have forgotten about the dreadful incident A.K.A the kiss.

"Daisy, your dad wants to see you in his office" I'm broken out of my train of thoughts when Mrs. Violet our home caretaker comes to deliver my father's message to me in my room, smiling kindly as she talks.

I give her a curious look and she chuckles "I'm just the messenger; I don't know what it's about" She says turning to walk out of the room and I follow her.

She pauses outside the door to the study and I give her a 'thank you' smile before walking inside.

"Hey dad" I greet him going to kiss his cheek before I go and sit in the chair in front of his desk.

"How are you this morning princess?" He asks in his baritone voice smiling at me making his dimples pop.

"I'm fine dad" I answer smiling back.

I love my dad. He's the strongest person I know and he's my number one role model.

"Daisy..." he begins, his eyes turning serious and he clears his throat as he sits up straight.

"I hope you know that everything I do is because I love you and that I'd do anything to keep you safe." He states waiting for confirmation and I nod my head.

Where is this conversation going?

"Lately, there have been some things that have been going on and these things might prove to be a threat to us. Now don't panic, I've found a solution but I can't take any risk with you. Not like I did with your mum."He pauses before taking out and handkerchief from his pocket and dabbing both his eyes before pocketing it back.

I honestly don't know why he blames himself for the death of my mum while it's clear that I was one of the causes.

He takes a deep breath in as if he was preparing for something difficult and my curiosity becomes more piqued.

"You'll be in an arranged marriage with one of my business partner's son. This family is extremely capable of protecting you. They are coming over for dinner tonight." He finally drops the bomb.

What?

************************************

They finally kissed! :D

And oh oh, I sense Daisy is about to blow up on her dad. (is that a spoiler? Nah, you're gonna find out now anyway)

There is still one more chapter coming up now. (if there is service)
