Allies become enemies, old flames turn lethal, and the man she vowed to use might be the only one she can trust.

View MoreLiam'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
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
Aunt 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
Liam’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.
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
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
Liam’s POVThe scandal surrounding Turner Empire was everywhere. The hashtag #TurnerFlop had taken over every social media platform. It was all anyone could talk about. News anchors, business analysts, and gossip blogs were ripping Trey apart.Now, I finally understood why that idiot had called me. He had been trying to save himself. But it was too late.I drove fast, passing through traffic as my grip tightened around the steering wheel. The city lights blurred past, my mind racing faster than the car. The closer I got to the venue, the harder my heart pounded.When I finally arrived, the scene outside was chaos.Dozens of reporters were gathered at the entrance, some yelling into microphones while others frantically tapped on their phones. Camera flashes lit up the night, and the security guards at the doors were struggling to hold them back."Mr. Musk! Mr. Musk!" One of the reporters spotted me and rushed forward. "Do you have a comment on Turner Empire’s present fallout?"I didn’t
Daisy's POV“Daisy hacked my app, and all she did was use an antivirus!” Anna’s voice cut through the cheers of the guests, drawing every eye toward her. I leaned in slightly, locking eyes with her, a smirk tugging at the corner of my lips. “Anna, oh Anna, you really never cease to amaze me, do you?” I said, my tone low and challenging.“Do you really think I’m that petty, that I’d stoop so low?” I paused, slowly shaking my head, letting the silence between us speak volumes.“Try harder, sweetheart. That line is growing tired.” My voice dropped to a whisper, and I leaned in closer, brushing my breath against her ear. I could feel her stiffen in response, fury boiling beneath her skin. “It’s becoming a joke,” I added with a slight chuckle, but she wasn’t laughing.“You have some nerve, little girl. Don’t make me remind you of your place.” Anna gripped my hand, but I pulled my hand free with swift, forceful precision.She stared at me, eyes wide, showing the white. “You have no one her
Daisy's POVTrey and Anna must be searching for every possible way to fix the app. I could see it in their restless movements, the way their eyes darted around as if looking for a lifeline. With a killer smirk on my face, I could bet they were already suspecting me. But hold on a second—why would I sabotage something I created?I love this app. More than anything, I want people to use it, benefit from it, and see it change lives. Why would I destroy my own work? That would make no sense. But I wouldn’t put it past Anna to have secrets she didn’t want to come to light. A well-placed loop in the app's system could do wonders in exposing them.Trey’s eyes stayed glued to the entrance, and I could tell he was waiting for someone. His fingers twitched against his folded arms, his jaw tightening. Whoever it was, they were running late.“Let’s see what has his attention,” I murmured under my breath, turning toward the door.To my utter shock, a fresh wave of media personalities flooded the h
Daisy's POV "So you trust your boyfriend? Why don't you pay him a visit at Turner Mansion?"That was all the message said. And like a moth drawn to a flame, I found myself speeding toward Turner Mansion.I had tried calling the strange number repeatedly—each attempt ending in silence.As I stood before the gates, part of me wanted to turn back, dismissing it as a cruel prank. But another part of me wondered—what if?What if stepping into that mansion meant discovering the truth? Was I even ready for it?The only way to put my mind at peace was to face it head-on, regardless of the pain it might bring.As I neared the entrance, I noticed Trey's car parked outside."When did they get so close to the point where they visit each other without telling me?" I thought out loud.I decided to call him, hoping to hear the truth from him before making any assumptions.The call rang twice before he picked up."Hey, babe," he whispered.I frowned. "Hey. Why are you whispering? Are you okay?" My v...
