C1 Chapter 1

Daisy waits at the doorsteps of their apartment with a tight frown on her face and her arms crossed over her chest. They have been married for years and even have a son together, yet she doesn't feel any love for him.

She sees him as a liability which is why she got an Uber cab for him to be driving, the money being refunded back to her at the end of the day.

Soon a cab pulls through the entrance of the apartment, Daisy's posture changes, her eyes darken as she peers onto her watch, mumbling some words on her lips and snapping her fingers.

The moment Ezio sights her, his heart goes down the trenches. “I'm in serious trouble. I'm late!” He mutters to him, drives forward and packs just before the apartment.

Daisy walks slowly forward with a stern glare.

"Why are you coming back now?" Her voice goes up, cold and rude.

"I'm so sorry, I think I'm a bit early today and not late." Ezio responds, his heart full of sarcasm but faking the seriousness outwardly.

A slap lands on his face.

"How foolish you are, I'm asking why you're returning earlier than usual and you're saying something else."

He gritted his teeth and was fuming with anger. But he gulped the anger.

"I was stuck in the traffic."

"Will you answer my question?" Daisy barks.

"I'm not feeling quite okay, that's why I returned home."

"What a weakling, you are such an asshole. Imagine coming to my workplace to spy on me like I was some kid, pretending to have a surprise for me," she glared at him as if he is only a stone with no ears and emotions.

"Do you think I'm a child or that submissive mate you guys dominate over?"

She spat on his face, he wiped away her saliva gently from his face.

"I wanted to reject you, but I changed my mind. At least you're not all that useless but useful in keeping the house clean, cooking and doing other things."

"Argh!"

Another slap lands across his face, he refuses to shed tears knowing who he secretly is, the grandson of Alpha Jackson who has gotten his identity hidden from birth to find true love.

He knows he has more than enough to take care of himself and will take over the White Lycan Pack with its Group of Companies anytime soon. Wit-can Group is his to control soon.

He wants to get the humiliations from his mate, patiently enduring it.

She would be surprised when she finds out to whom she's been treating badly all those while.

"You trash,You prepared those foods, so you're gonna use your hands and wash them,"she scoffed.

He was fuming with anger inside but he silently gulped the anger, just because of his son.

"Make sure you prepare my mom's food and serve her, learn to be a good servant at least for once,I have kept you for doing these chores. Not for staring your useless face ." She gritted her teeth angrily.

Getting the car key from him, he pulls him inside the house with all her strength towards the kitchen.

Ezio stumbles and if not that he uses his manly stamina, he would fall face downward.

He walked to the kitchen.

Once Daisy has one complaint or the other, there's no food for him but worst is that they don't even act as a couple.

Rather his privileges are transferred to another man who considers himself to be her new fiance. When the time comes, he'll teach all of them a lesson.

"For the past two weeks, I have been eating once in a day and the food has always been in a restaurant outside," he murmured himself as his stomach growled.

He hardly feeds on good food because he has to return some money to Daisy and the bad side is that the money is not always enough.

The only time he comes home and is permitted to take something from the kitchen is when he has made up to the eight hundred dollar daily threshold.

"You stupid jerk, bring the food quickly," his mother in law called him angrily.

He has always been afraid of his mother-in-law but now he has nothing to fear, rather he has something to be proud of.

As he opens the door, with a tray of food.

He saw Nancy polishing her nails and Ernest was playing with her toys. Ernest clapped his hands to show his happiness.

"Dad, I really miss you!" He says in a sing-song manner.

"I miss you more, Ernest." He bends and kisses him on the forehead.

"Come on, let me feed you." He carries him to sit on his leg, holding the food before him, he starts to feed him gently.

"You know mom has really been saying bad things about you, dad, to grandpa. I don't like what they're doing to you." Ernest murmurs.

"Don't worry, it'll be well soon. Just don't worry."

He had barely finished his statement when his mother-in-law banged in, Ezio shifts in fear, the shock kind of involuntary. He wasn't expecting her at this moment.

"What are you saying to my grandson, are you trying to teach him to hate my daughter, his mom?"

"No no no, I didn't mean that!" There was little custard left in the plate Ezio held which Ernest didn't want to eat again.

Nancy snatches it from his hands and pours the leftover on his face, some splashes on the floor.

Daisy appears from nowhere, Ezio is confused if both of them were planning this, eavesdropping on his conversation with Ernest.

Daisy comes and takes away Ernest who is already crying seeing the humiliation his father is passing through.

"Don't cry, don't cry!" Daisy pats Ernest's head lovingly.

"You'd have sent my son to me before doing this to him." As she says this, Ezio thinks she's speaking in terms of his partial good, so his son wouldn't see him disgraced not knowing she's gonna say something worse

"My son doesn't need to inherit his stinking lifestyle, he's a taboo to every reasonable person."
