"If you have nothing else to say, then get in the car quickly." Axel broke the silence with urging words: "It's already 8 p.m., and I don't want to stay on the road any longer.""If you don't want to be stranded on the road, then go home alone," Daisy retorted defiantly. "Nobody is forcing you or begging you to be here.""I asked if you're getting in the car or not," Axel exhaled sharply, his tone becoming more serious."No," Daisy stubbornly challenged.Without hesitation, Axel slowly approached Daisy. His threatening demeanor sent shivers down her spine, and she nervously swallowed."What do you think you're doing? What's with that attitude? Don't get violent," Daisy warned Axel hesitantly. "If you keep coming closer, I'll scream for everyone to know that you're a pervert, a bad person."Axel remained silent and continued to approach calmly. Instinctively, Daisy took a step back, but her injured leg caused her to lose balance and fall backward. In a state of panic, she couldn't cont
At this moment, both Axel and Daisy found themselves trapped in suffocating silence, and the atmosphere in the car grew increasingly tense and uncomfortable. Daisy couldn't help but feel restless and anxious, realizing that she was inexplicably drawn into a distressing situation that had nothing to do with her. Daisy's mind raced with unanswered questions, and she longed for a sense of resolution to the challenging issues that might arise in the near future.Beside her, Axel also struggled with his own discomfort. He felt torn, unsure of how to handle his delicate predicament in a fair and minimally harmful way for Daisy. The weight of responsibility weighed heavily on his shoulders, and he sought a path towards a harmonious solution.Daisy's anxious fingers tapped rhythmically on her thigh, her eyes fixed on the passing scenery. The lack of control over her own fate gnawed at her, leaving her feeling helpless and disappointed.Axel glanced at Daisy out of the corner of his eye, recog
After finishing her shower, Daisy appeared in the living room. She wanted to spend some time talking to her son, but she couldn't find Henry anywhere; only Grace was getting ready for bed."Where is Henry?" Daisy asked gently, slowly making her way towards the sofa."I saw him looking sleepy, so I told him to go to bed earlier," Grace replied as she turned off the TV. "He insisted on talking to you before going to sleep. But I told him, You've been working all day and need rest. So, let's leave it for tomorrow.""Oh, I see. Thank you very much," Daisy said appreciatively."You're welcome. Sleep early," Grace encouraged."Okay." Daisy nodded. "Goodnight.""Goodnight," Grace replied.After their conversation, Daisy and Grace left the living room and went to their respective rooms. As Grace stood in front of her bedroom door, she remembered something important."Oh, I forgot; you just had a phone call. I didn't have a chance to see who it was before the ringing stopped," Grace informed D
"I'm listening. What do you want to say?" After a moment of silence, Daisy's voice became serious and cautious."I want to know if you have an answer to my proposal or not," Axel asked directly. "Will you go on a date with me?""You're really impatient," Daisy criticized. "How can I make such an important decision in less than 24 hours? You're putting pressure on me, you know?""I know, but I'm in a hurry. The deadline is approaching," Axel said awkwardly. "I hope you understand.""Actually, I stayed up last night thinking about your proposal," Daisy revealed, catching Axel's attention with her tired eyes. Indeed, she looked sleep-deprived."I'm glad to hear that. So what's your decision?" Axel eagerly wanted to know as soon as possible."Axel, I really appreciate your help yesterday. But I don't think I can go on a date with you," Daisy said hesitantly, offering an apologetic smile before quickly turning back to her work and pretending to ignore Axel.On the other hand, after hearing
The next day, right on schedule, Axel arrived at the bar, eagerly searching for Daisy. He believed that this time, Daisy would surrender. However, the most unexpected thing happened—Daisy was nowhere to be found within his sight. Axel frantically scanned the bar, searching every corner, but Daisy was nowhere to be seen.Axel approached the manager, seeking answers. He was informed that Daisy had abruptly quit her job at the bar the day before. As Axel absorbed this information, he silently deduced that Daisy had taken this action to avoid him. Anger welled up inside him, unable to accept Daisy's actions. Determined to find her, Axel made his way towards the exit, but before he could step outside, a former colleague of Daisy's chased after him, calling out his name."Axel, please wait a moment."Hearing the call, Axel paused, turning to look back. Standing in front of him was a young woman."Why did you call me? What's the matter?" Axel furrowed his brow, questioning her.The woman hes
At the same time, Daisy was surrounded by a gang of thugs, while Axel observed the entire situation. Axel couldn't contain the guilt and anguish he felt, witnessing Daisy being threatened to the point of terror. An involuntary sigh escaped his chest. John noticed this and couldn't suppress his concern, turning to ask Axel."Axel, are you sure that what you're doing is right and necessary? I find it really awful."To be honest, after learning about Axel's plan, John didn't agree. According to John's assessment, Axel's actions were bad. Up until this moment, as the plan was being carried out and everything was going as Axel intended, John still wanted to object to Axel.Axel turned to face John, his eyes filled with determination. "I know we're playing a dangerous game, John," Axel said thoughtfully. "But we have no choice. We have to do this to get Daisy to agree to sign the agreement. I need to ensure that I win this bet.""Do you feel unfair to Daisy?" John asked further. "Don't forg
Lisa's voice was interrupted by a brief pause before she continued with determination, still waiting for the man's response."Hey, can you hear what I'm saying? If you don't want to pass on the message, then give the phone to Daisy so I can talk to her.""Hey, who's fooling around here? If you don't bring the money here, I'll kill your Older sister. And then, it'll be your turn," the enraged man shouted, his voice sharp and threatening, causing Lisa to startle momentarily."Don't lie to me anymore. Who would believe you?" Lisa stubbornly refused to believe and even doubted Daisy: "Tell me the truth. Did Daisy pay you guys to stage this drama? Does she want to end her financial support for me?""What nonsense are you talking about?" the thug asked, confused by Lisa's line of reasoning."Don't pretend anymore," Lisa shouted, "In short, I don't believe Daisy has been kidnapped." Lisa firmly declared, "Tell Daisy that if she's using this tactic to deceive me, she has failed. Escaping from
"I want you to release me right now," Lisa said impatiently, making her request clear. "Both of you should know that Daisy and I have no relationship whatsoever.""Don't spout nonsense like that; don't try to avoid responsibility," the guy responded, displaying his disbelief. "Now, either you pay up or I'll kill your Older sister. Choose, if you...""What I'm saying is true. Please believe me," Lisa interrupted firmly. "We have no blood relations, so I have no reason to pay to save her. It doesn't make any sense at all. I'm not crazy either. If Daisy has done something wrong, punish her, but don't involve an innocent person like me.""I ask you, you keep insisting that there's no blood relation between you two, so why would Daisy have to pay for your unreasonable demands? Just out of her kindness? That's hard to believe. No one in this world is willing to unconditionally sacrifice for someone else. Are you trying to deceive me? It's not that easy."To make her reasoning more persuasiv
