Chapter: Chapter 39: Am I dreaming?Daisy's POV"What did you just say? You want a divorce?" I asked, my voice shaking, eyes wide with shock as the words echoed in my head. I couldn’t believe what I just heard from Liam. Was this a joke?"Liam, what is wrong with you? If you have a problem, talk to me about it. For the past few days, I don't understand what is going on with you," I said, lashing out, unable to hold it in any longer. I was confused. Everything felt like it was crumbling right in front of me. But Liam just sat there, quiet, not offering a single word. His silence was louder than any scream I could hear."Is this about what happened last night? Because I stopped you from leaving?" I asked again, trying to dig for answers, hoping I could understand what triggered this sudden decision."No, that’s not it!" Liam shook his head, his voice low. But still, he couldn't look me in the eyes. He turned away, and that hurt more than his words."Then tell me, Liam! What is going on? Did I do something wrong? If I said

Chapter: Chapter 38: Give what belongs to CaesarLiam's POV"Well well well, I'll be damned," I mocked, raising my head. "If it isn't the great and powerful opps..." I paused for dramatic effect, watching his reaction. "I meant the great and fallen Trey Baker." A mocking smirk stretched across my face. I could see it in his eyes, the way his jaw clenched and how his nostrils flared. He was biting his teeth in anger, and I loved it.I slammed a heavy stack of paperwork on my desk. "These are for you. I need them in four hours," I said, my voice stern and cold.To my surprise, Trey didn’t even flinch. He just stood there, hands in his pocket, looking at me like I was nothing. His gaze was insulting. I sighed, my brows twitching together slowly. My eyes didn’t leave his.He chuckled dryly. "You don't expect me to stoop so low to doing your paperwork, do you? What do you think I am? Some dumb errand boy?" He took his hand out of his pocket and laughed loudly. I knew what he was doing. He was trying to get under my skin.I clenched my ja

Chapter: Chapter 37: The Aftermath Liam’s POVThis is really bad.I knew my aunt would be angry, but I never thought she would leave the country. Not like this. She didn’t even give me a chance to explain myself. One minute she was here, and the next, she was gone—like smoke in the wind.But I don’t care if I have to follow her across the globe. I will find her.I stood in the hospital hallway, my stomach fluttering. My legs felt weak, but I forced myself to walk toward the reception area and take a seat. I had to meet Jason here after a few minutes, and I didn’t want to miss him.I stared at the white tiles on the floor, my mind racing. How did everything go so wrong?“Hey,” someone tapped me from behind, pulling me out of my thoughts. I quickly turned, and there he was—Jason.“Did you find her?” he asked, taking a seat beside me. His voice was hopeful, but I didn’t know how to answer. I didn’t want to crush him with the truth, but he deserved to know.“She’s gone,” I said softly, my head hanging low, eyes locked on m

Chapter: Chapter 36: Out with the old Aunt Emilia’s POVIt breaks my heart.Not just a crack—a full-blown shatter. Years… wasted. Decades spent clinging to a child that wasn’t mine, raising him, loving him more than I loved myself. I gave up everything for Liam including my very own family. I made him my world. And now? Now he’s stabbed me in the back and chosen her. The enemy. Daisy.I wish I could lie to myself and say I didn’t see it coming. That I was blindsided. But the truth? The truth is uglier.I did see it coming.Every little sign. Every glance he gave her, every hesitation in his voice when I warned him about her. Every time he looked through me as if I were just a shadow in his life. It all makes sense now. Everything has fallen into place. All the loyalty I gave him, all the sacrifices—it meant nothing.Knock knock.I flinched, snapping out of my thoughts. The door of the hospital room creaked slightly. “Come in,” I called out, my voice flat, my eyes on the door.It swung open, and there she was—Lily Anne, m

Chapter: Chapter 35: All for nothing Liam’s POV“Liam, what are you doing?” Aunt Emilia’s voice rang out, shaky but loud enough to stop me. She looked weak, her face pale and body trembling as she tried to hold herself upright. She was sitting on the cold floor, her hands tied behind her back with a thick rope, and her legs bent awkwardly. The pain was clear in her eyes.“So he chooses his wife over his mother. How touching,” Mateo sneered with a crooked smile, followed by a bark of laughter. He crossed his arms and leaned back slightly, clearly enjoying the moment. I knew what it looked like. I knew how bad it seemed. But trust me—it was all part of my plan.Mateo lifted a hand and gave a small signal to one of his men. The man walked over to the chair where Daisy was supposedly tied up. He untied her carefully, then helped her stand and walk slowly toward me. I couldn’t see her face clearly because her hair covered most of it, and honestly, my eyes were focused on Aunt Emilia. My main goal was getting her out of here s

Chapter: Chapter 34: Forgive meLiam’s POV – Expanded Version“Where is my mother?” I yelled into the phone, my voice cracking, my fingers trembling as I clutched the device. My heart pounded so violently in my chest that it was all I could hear. I needed to know she was okay. I needed something—anything—to hold onto. I gulped down my breath to stay quiet.“She’s holding up… for now,” Mateo said with a mocking calmness, like this was a game to him. “But don’t you want to know who the other special guest is?” What does he mean by another special guest.I froze, my stomach fluttering.“What do you mean—what other guest?” My voice was tight, my breath caught in my throat.Mateo chuckled darkly, the sound crawling under my skin. “Let’s just say… I hit two birds with one stone.”My mouth ran dry, my palms suddenly moist.My phone buzzed with a notification. I hurriedly opened it, my hands shaking. It was a picture. Aunt Emilia sat slouched, bruised, bloodied, and beside her was another woman—her face hidden with her hair
