Chapter: Chapter 29: I will never let it goLiam's POVThere isn't anything I hate more than having the ones I love in danger. The weight of responsibility sat heavily on my shoulders as I stepped into the house. The moment I arrived home, I didn't waste a second. I hurried toward Aunt Emilia's room, my heart pounding with urgency. We needed to have a serious discussion before Daisy appeared.I knocked at the door, inhaling deeply as I waited."Who is it?" Aunt Emilia's voice came from the other side, cautious yet familiar."Liam," I answered firmly.The door swung open almost instantly. "Come in," she said, stepping aside. Her eyes studied me, and I could tell she already sensed that something was wrong.I stepped inside, making sure to close the door tightly before speaking. The room smelled faintly of lavender, the curtains drawn to shield against the late afternoon sun. Aunt Emilia sat on the edge of her bed, her expression neutral but her fingers fidgeting slightly."How are you, Aunt?" I asked, scanning her face, taking i

Chapter: Chapter 28: Who The Hell Are You?Liam's POVMy aunt is right. I've become too complacent. I don't understand what the hell is going on with me. Why do I think of nothing but Daisy? I need to get my act together. Immediately after I was done with the discussion I had with my aunt, I moved toward the stairs. As I reached them, I noticed the lights of the living room were on. I frowned, glancing at my watch. Who could be there at this time of night?Slowly, I made my way to the living room. My eyes fell on Daisy, who had just finished a glass of wine. She sat there, lost in thought, swirling the empty glass in her hand.I wanted to talk to her, keep her company, but I knew that would only make things complicated. I turned to head upstairs."Liam, come, let's have a drink," Daisy called from behind. Her voice was calm, almost inviting.I hesitated."Come on," she insisted, opening and closing her fingers in a beckoning motion.I immediately frowned, turning to face her. "Go to bed," I said coldly.I caught a glimpse of D

Chapter: Chapter 27: It Must Come To An EndAunt Emilia's POVI can’t believe this little girl. The nerve she has to rub her skin on me like I’m her mother. The thought alone makes my blood boil. I just wish I could land a good slap on her face to put her in her place.As soon as I got to my room, I let out a frustrated sigh. This place suffocates me, but I have to endure it for now. I must complete my plan as soon as possible and leave this godforsaken house.I walked around the room, checking every single item. Everything here screamed wealth. The furniture was polished to perfection, and the scent of fresh lavender was in the air. Even the sheets on the bed felt softer than anything I’d ever slept on before. But none of this mattered to me. I wasn’t here to admire the luxury. I was here for one thing only—revenge.As I was inspecting a small drawer, my phone suddenly buzzed, snapping me out of my thoughts. I frowned and pulled it out of my pocket.It was him.That bastard, Mateo.I scowled and put the phone on silent. I wasn

Chapter: Chapter 26: I Didn't See That ComingLiam’s POVI almost got caught the other day. If I had been just a second slower, Daisy would have seen me, and everything would have been ruined.I exhaled deeply, still remembering the way my heart had pounded in my chest. I had barely slipped out in time, the pictures in my grasp. The risk was worth it, but I needed to be more careful.After my evening workout, my muscles ached, but the burn felt good. Sweat dripped down my face as I reached for my towel, wiping it off. The house was unusually quiet, giving me a moment to think.Daisy should still be at work. She never came home early, and I planned my routine around that. But just as I grabbed my phone to check the time, I heard it—The sound of a car pulling into the driveway.I frowned, walking over to the window. Peeking through the curtains, my suspicions were confirmed.Daisy was home.Why is she back so early?I muttered under my breath, quickly grabbing my things and heading upstairs before she could catch me in this state.

Chapter: Chapter 25: Like A Thief In The Night Hazel’s POVThe past few days have been nothing short of a nightmare. My real boss—no, my real nightmare—was growing impatient with me. She had given me one job: gather information on Daisy. But Daisy was no fool. She had been getting suspicious lately, and to make things worse, she had even changed the locks on her office door.I sat at my desk, pretending to focus on my work, but my mind was elsewhere. My fingers hovered over the keyboard, typing the necessary data that Daisy needed. Every now and then, my eyes flickered toward her office, waiting for any opportunity to sneak in.Suddenly, the door to her office swung open, and Daisy stepped out, holding nothing but her phone. My heart pounded.“I’ll be back soon,” she said without looking at me.Then she walked out.I watched her leave, my body screaming at me to take this chance. I could gather as much information as I needed, but what if she returned too soon? What if someone else saw me?I clenched my fists, torn between my miss

Chapter: Chapter 24: The Aftermath Daisy’s POVI walked down the stairs, surprised to see Liam standing by the door, holding a small parcel in his hands. His brows were furrowed as if he was deep in thought.“What do you think you’re doing?” I asked from behind him, my voice playful.Liam flinched, almost dropping the package. The way his shoulders tensed and how he swallowed nervously only made me burst into laughter.His reaction was priceless. I was so glad I got him real good this time.“Umm… umm…” he stammered, struggling to find the right words.I shook my head, still laughing. “Relax, I’m just joking.”As expected, his mood shifted instantly. Liam had always been too serious—especially in the mornings. For someone to be this uptight so early in the day was beyond me.“A parcel came in for you just now,” he finally said, handing it over.I took it from him, curiosity buzzing inside me. Who could be sending me something? Without wasting another second, I hurriedly tore off the brown wrapping paper.What I found in
