Chapter 40. Perfect Birthday Ending

DAISY

I stop crying with Marcello’s arms around me.

“Right, now can we continue? You still have presents to open little birdie.” Demitri looks and I nod not wanting to hurt him. He pulls me through and I quickly move my feet to keep up.

He pushes me to sit, and I watch as Marcello goes to hand me a box, Demitri stepping in his way. He holds out a box for me and Marcello rolls his eyes. Taking the box from Demitri I open it, inside a key, my eyes look at him confused, a car?

“You shouldn’t need someone to drive you, little birdie. You still have to ensure Troy goes with you. But your own car, so now if you want to go shopping you can with security though.” He smiles and I hug him and thank him.

Marcello moves, and holds out a box. As I take it Calix walks through, moving he sits behind me, his legs on either side of my body his arms wrap around my waist and his head settles on my shoulder. Opening the gift I smile. A spa day. I go to say thank you, Demit
