Leonardo's sank in disbelief as he processed the news. "What the hell are you talking about? What do you mean Daisy's been kidnapped? By who?!" He demanded sharply, his heart racing with trepidation as he struggled to accept the news. Emily sniffled on the other end. "I don't know Leonardo. But I think," She stammered, her voice breaking as she tried to speak. "I think by Lillian. She asked me to tell you this." "What?" Leonardo was shocked. "I don't know, Leonardo," Emily cried out. "Please, please, we need to do something about this immediately. I'm scared..." "How? How did this happen? Oh my God!" He massaged his temples, his heart clenching with pain at the realization that his daughter was in danger. "Freya. It was Freya." Emily sobbed. "Have you contacted the police?" Leonardo inquired. "No. She warned me not to involve the police; otherwise, she'd ensure we never saw her again..." "Alright. Thank you for informing me, Emily. I'll take it from here..." "Please, Leonard
Hayley squinted at the unfamiliar, pristine white ceiling above her, feeling disoriented as a throbbing ache pulsed through her head. The sharp, metallic scent that filled the air heightened her unease, causing her stomach to churn unpleasantly."Mr. Edward, I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter... Thank you very much." A voice echoed from the far side of the room, but Hayley couldn’t discern who it belonged to as her mind remained clouded in confusion.Struggling to regain her senses, Hayley winced in distress before finally opening her eyes. The first thing that registered was the ward sign. She instantly understood she was in a hospital. The realization hit her like a ton of bricks and her heart raced as panic set in."Hayley," a familiar voice called softly, breaking through her fog. It was Rosalie, who hurried to her side, relief evident on her face as she approached Hayley. "Thank goodness you’re awake." She heaved out a sigh.As Hayley scanned the room, she n
Never in her life had she felt so betrayed. The overwhelming shock and heartbreak intertwined within her, leaving Hayley utterly devastated. A lone tear traced down her cheek as she grappled with Freya’s betrayal that was boldly revealed in the documents related to her agreement with her foster mother, Wendy Forbes. Hayley felt downtrodden.For a brief moment, Hayley was left speechless, her eyes fixated on the document in sheer disbelief."She’s working for Wendy, Hayley. I was completely taken aback when I also discovered this document," Emily’s voice cut through Hayley’s haze, gradually bringing her back to reality.However, Hayley remained in a state of shock, her silence betraying her struggle to come to terms with the situation. A wave of disappointment and pain surged through her as she reread the section where Freya consented to meet Wendy’s demands for a specific price."Now, here’s the interesting twist, Hayley," Emily pressed, her tone shifting to one of urgency. "You won’t
Her nerves unraveling with anxiety, Hayley heard a brief disturbance on the line before Lillian's voice finally resonated through the phone, reaching Hayley's ears."What is it?" Lillian demanded curtly.Hayley forced herself to maintain her composure as Lillian's voice echoed in her mind. Despite her rising anger, she responded with a calm demeanor."Where is my daughter, Lillian? Where is she?" She asked calmly.Lillian let out a soft laugh before answering. "She's safe... for now."Hayley's heart raced, anxiety flooding her senses. "What do you mean by that?""I have demands, Hayley. Demands that need to be met before I release her. Unfortunately, you aren't in a position to meet those demands for me, so I see no reason to continue this conversation."As Lillian prepared to end the call, Hayley's desperate voice stopped her in her tracks. "Please," Hayley implored, her stern expression softening. She shut her eyes, pleading earnestly. "Please, Lillian, I beg you, mother to mother,
The ringing of the phone abruptly stopped as Lillian's sharp voice cut through to Leonardo."What do you want?" She demanded.Leonardo's jaw tightened, his eyes burning with rage at the sound of her voice. "Are you out of your mind, Lillian? I thought I was clear last time. Where is my daughter?" He snapped."You have no right to raise your voice at me, Leonardo," Lillian shot back. "I’m the one in control here. What you should be doing is apologizing and asking what I want from you in exchange for your daughter."Leonardo glanced at Elliot, his eyebrows raised in inquiry. Elliot met his gaze and gave a thumbs-up, silently encouraging him as he continued to work on the computer.Leonardo turned his attention back to Lillian, determined to extend the conversation. However, he remained resolute in his refusal to apologize, convinced she had received exactly what she deserved from him."You know, Lillian, I've been wondering where you get your audacity. How dare you abduct my child?" He
Hayley finally returned to her apartment in Kleeton City after spending hours in transit with Rosalie and Emily. As soon as they entered the house, she hurried to her daughter's room, dreading the confirmation of her worst fears. As she stepped inside, it was obvious that Daisy was missing, just as she had anticipated. Faced with a lonely presence, she halted in her tracks, her heart breaking.Tears welled in Hayley's eyes, her heart heavy with sorrow as she approached her toddler's closet. Her hand trembled as she reached for the space that held her child's clothing. She pulled out one of Daisy's favorite jackets, a gift from her fourth birthday celebration. Bringing the fabric close to her face, she wept openly, clutching the cloth as if it could bring her daughter back.The stark reality of her daughter's absence hit Hayley hard, shattering her heart. Until that moment, she had not fully grasped the depth of what had happened."I'm so sorry, my baby," Hayley whispered through her t
"Urgh… L-Leo… Arghh, I love it. Fuck me harderrr.. Argh.. B-babyy," Lilian moaned loudly with her eyes rolling into her head, and her slender fingers digging into Leo's hard back as he thrust into her repeatedly. She stood before them, speechless. * If someone had asked Hayley Forbes before now who she loved most in the world, She'd say her husband. And if someone else had asked her who she trusted most in the world, She'd say her husband. Yeah.. It's like that. But something she should have had in mind a long time ago was that, men are deceitful and we can never trust them. But how could she believe in that saying, when Leonardo Anderson was literally the kind of man she had prayed for. He was handsome, caring, loving, well-mannered, kind-hearted, and even on top all of these, he was a multi-billionaire, and the CEO of the second biggest company in Clasold City. He was every woman's dream, and she was his only wife. Hayley wouldn't say she married him for money. She was forced to
"It's been two weeks, Hayley. You need to stop crying over him. He is not worth a single tear that falls from your eyes." Emily, Hayley's best friend consoled her. Emily sat down beside Hayley on the couch, gently patting her shoulder as Hayley lay still with tears streaming down her face. She was tired of everything. The anguish was too much to bear all at once. It had been two weeks since Leo and her divorced, yet she still couldn't get over him. Hayley had gone to her family to seek their help to help her plead with Leonardo, but instead of supporting her, they abused her and kicked her out. Hayley knew they never truly cared for her or considered her as family, especially her foster mother, Wendy Forbes. She despised Hayley so much that Hayley often wondered why she even adopted her in the first place. Hayley was aware that she had no place in that home, but she never imagined that in her time of need, they would turn their backs on her and leave her helpless. They made it clear
