Isaac’s POVI was adjusting my tie in the mirror when I felt Susan’s arms wrap around me from behind. Her touch was familiar, but not in the way she wanted it to be. I slowly took her fingers off of my waist and turned around to face her."You're back from research. Thanks for the work you've done. That's really impressive.” I said in a neutral voice, and patted her head. Susan took a step back and laughed softly. There was a hint of something she didn't say in her eyes. "Isaac, I'm not the little girl I used to be."I tried not to show how uncomfortable I was by nodding. I knew she wasn't a child anymore—she had grown into a strong, successful woman, and I had been there for her when she was having trouble. But I could only see her as family, like a sister, no matter how hard she tried to blur the lines. Still, I was too aware that her views had changed, and I had to be careful."I know. You did a good job. I'm happy for you. You also know that since your parents died, I've always be
Lily's POVMy body woke up slowly, and the warmth of the bed wrapped around me. For a moment, everything was calm. I couldn't help but blush as the events of last night came back to me. I was regretting that I had misunderstood him and left him just with a stupid reason. Finally, things are getting better. I had always dreamed of a happy family. Today, I had to tell him about Ayla. I quickly got dressed as I snuck out of bed. My heart was still racing from thinking about Isaac and how he made me feel. But things were different today.And saw few missed calls of Mateo, I called him back.“Hello, Lily where are you? I am trying to connect with you since yesterday.” He asked panickedly.While walking through the quiet halls, I softly called out, "Isaac?" But there was no answer. As I walked farther, a dark feeling crept into my chest. There was something not right.I kept going until I reached the edge of a room where I could hear voices. As I peered around the bend, my breath caught i
Issac's povWhen I woke up, Lily's body was next to mine, and soft light was coming in through the blinds. Her soft head was on my arm, and she was sleeping with even, soft breathing. For a brief moment, I allowed myself to watch her, her dark lashes fanning across her cheeks, her hair a soft cascade over the pillow. When she slept, she felt calm, like all her problems had gone away. I couldn't help it; I kissed her forehead softly as I leaned in.Not for long, though. The soft buzz of my phone brought me back to the present. I sighed, sliding my arm from beneath her and sitting up, careful not to wake her. I quickly looked at the screen and saw a message from my assistant. It was time."We found the man. They are ready for you."A surge of anger ran through me, recalling the reports of organ trafficking in the city—something I vowed to stamp out. Things weren't just business. It was personal. I looked back at Lily, who was still asleep. For a moment, I felt bad that I had to leave her
LILY’S POVThe hospital halls were busy with people going about their morning business, but I felt like I was walking through fog. Last day was still fresh in my mind. Isaac, no-Cobra, showed me a side of him I didn't know he had. A picture of him standing over the dead body of the man he killed, gun in hand, kept coming back to me. I saw it again every time I closed my eyes. And his words kept going through my mind: Monster. As I walked into the main room, I put my hand to my chest to try to stop my heart from beating all over the place. I would stay away from him today. I had to. When I saw him again, it would bring up all the feelings I had been trying to hold back. My anger. My fear. My confusion.I saw him at the far end of the hallway as I got closer to the nurse's station. I felt my breath catch in my throat, but I quickly turned away and pretended to be working on the clipboard in front of me. He shouldn't have seen me. After what had happened, I didn't want to talk to him.
Lily’s POVI stood frozen, the weight of Isaac’s gaze heavy on me. What he said stuck in my mind and made me feel like I had to leave what I had worked so hard for. It made me want to scream and push him away, but the truth hurt—this research was all I cared about. It was important for my future. He was aware of that."Lily, I won't let you do the research until you play the game," he said, his voice calm but tense. I felt both angry and scared when I heard that tone. "The game you loved and hated."I forced a hard swallow; anger was building up inside me. He used this against me by holding out my dreams, knowing that I would do anything to keep them. How had it come to this? I felt sick to my stomach when I thought about how much power and control he had over me.He was right, though. The research was more important than how I felt about him. I needed to finish it. It was bigger than my anger and stronger than my dislike of Isaac for how he became. I had to put my pride aside."I'll
LILY’S POVAfter what had just happened, I was shaking, my legs were weak, and I was wet. I felt bad that I had let it get this far again. The game—his game—had started again. The one he used to play with me years ago. I swore I would never fall in love with that person again.Ten games. Ten twisted games he loved to play. They came rushing back into my mind like a dark shadow I couldn’t shake. These are the ten games:1.Spanking. 2.Nipple Play.3. Food sex4.Strip Tease. 5.Sex toy pleasure6.Oral Sex. 7.Fisting.8. Anal Sex. 9.Bondage.10.Role play sexMy stomach twisted at the memories. Whenever he pushed my limits, I could feel every moment of shame. It was awful. I was angry that he pulled me back into this and made me feel like I had no power over my body or my choices.It wasn't just about me this time, though. It was about my daughter. I would put up with it for her sake. I would give him my body. But my heart? He was not allowed to touch that ever again. I wasn't going to
Issac’s POVWhen Susan stood there, I saw the normal smug look on her face, but there was something different in her eyes today—something more calculated. I had never gotten mad at her, and whenever she needed help, I was there for her. In a way, she was family. Today, though, things were different. I had enough.“Susan, drop this project,” I said, my voice cold and firm. I didn't give her time to answer, but her eyes lit up with surprise. "I've always been here for you and helped you, but you're going too far. And it needs to stop now.”She spoke up to protest, but I put up my hand to stop her. “Pushing Lily into the pool? I didn’t say anything at the time, but don’t think I’ve forgotten. You’ve always had this need to push her buttons, to test your boundaries. I’ve let you slide before, but this is it, Susan. There is a difference between my relationship with you and my relationship with Lily.”Susan's face turned pale, and she looked less arrogant than normal for the first time. Sh
Lily’s povAs I walked down the hall, I kept my hands on the folder that had all the information about my study. Today was the sponsorship pitch day. This is when investors from different companies would see my work and decide if it was worth investing in. Instead of being focused and confident of myself, I felt a knot of nerves in my stomach.I placed the file on the table, trying to calm my shaky hands. My phone buzzed right then. It was Mateo, when I looked at the screen. I felt my heart clench a little because I knew what it was about. I picked it up right away."Lily, Ayla has been asking for you all morning," Mateo's said, as usual being kind and patient. "So I thought you’d want to see her."I took a deep breath. Of course, Ayla. As soon as I pressed the video call button, my little angel stared back at me with those big eyes. Her hair was shorter, and it took me a second to figure out that Mateo had cut it."Hi, baby," I said, trying to sound cheerful even though I could feel
(Lily's POV)The girls immediately paled, and the smirks on their lips were replaced with terror. Camilla, who had initiated the bullying earlier, swallowed hard, her bravado fading under Issac’s glare.‘We didn’t mean—’ one the girls started to say, but Issac interrupted.“I don’t want your excuses,” he snarled, his eyes flashing dangerously. “If I ever find you pestering her or anyone else, then you will be answering me. Got it?”They nodded quickly, their faces as white as a sheet, obviously frightened.“Go now,” Issac commanded, his tone as icy as the winter wind. “Before I make you regret it. ”He moved towards me and reached out his hand to touch mine; I did not move away from him, and there was a spark in his eyes that made me feel attracted to him. When our fingers met there was a jolt, an electric current ran through me and I felt as if I had been struck by lightning.Issac helped me stand and he held my hand for a little too long. I looked into his eyes and for a moment I sa
Issac's POV "Let her go right now!" I roared across the room and it echoed. I couldn't stop the anger I felt inside while looking at him trying to touch her. She clearly didn't want him to touch her, but he kept trying to force himself on her. It was good enough that I got all the messages that Lily left for me earlier. I was too busy because I had some important things to take care of, and I didn't want Lily to find out, so I had to switch off my phone and also asked my assistant to do the same. I didn't think that anything would happen because I had my men watching over her, and they would have told me of any movements on an emergency phone. But they still didn't tell me anything, so I thought everything was okay. However, when I switched on my phone, I got all the messages from her, and the last one I got was that she was going to look for our daughter at Matteo's place. I quickly got the idea that Ayla was taken by that bastard, and I wasn't wrong. I moved closer to him and
Chapter 104Matteo's POV I knew this was going to happen the moment she arrived, and I had already prepared myself for it. It's not the first time she's slapped me. After the time I kissed her at the hospital in front of that constant, I knew she had every right to do this. But it hurts me enough and makes me angry to think that she doesn't even want to look at me at all, and all she can ever think of is that bastard. This was the only way for me to get her attention since she has been avoiding me after I told her about what he did to her parents. "How could you do something like this? I trusted you so much as a friend, and you dare try to cause problems for me? I was so scared the whole day, and I was so worried, yet you couldn't tell me that my daughter was with you?" she fired at me angrily. But I didn't say anything else and just tried to hug her. Even though she was trying to break out of the hug, I still forced myself to hug her, and then I let go. She slapped me again, a
Lily's POV What's Susan doing right here in my office waiting for me like she's my patient? I was told I had a patient waiting for me in the office and I was expecting it to be someone else. I couldn't hide the shock on my face especially after seeing her looking pitiful on a wheelchair. But I should focus and not let her deceive me with this. I should know the kind of person she is better than anyone. I know she has plans that I'm not going to allow happen anyways. But I need to find out whatever she's thinking. "Why aren't you saying anything? Do you hate me that might?" She asked like she was offended. I scoffed, "I know you're not here for a good reason Susan. What the hell are you doing here, pretending to be a patient and wasting my precious time? I have real patients to attend to.""What makes you think I'm not a real patient?""Isn't it obvious what you came here for? You think I have time to waste on you rather than attending to people who need my help?"She looked offend
Susan's POV How did he manage to find out something that I've been trying to hide from him all along? I tried so much so that he wouldn't know at all. Even though it was hard for me because he was always watching me. I regretted trying to give his information out at the end of the day after seeing what he did to me. I didn't mean to contact his enemy at first. We are the ones who came after me while telling me the hard and offer for me and it would help me get his trust. I thought they wanted to do something to help me until I started giving them information and I started suspecting that it was wrong. That's how I managed to know that they were trying to find ways to bring him down and I was giving them information for it. When I try to confront them, they only threatened me and told me that they would tell him everything if I didn't cooperate with them. If they will be able to bring him down, then I wouldn't have to be scared of him. At first I thought it would be a good idea sin
Isaac's POV I knew I was going to have to answer this sooner or later. I thought she would have forgotten about it, but she seems to still be very much interested in knowing what happened. It's hard to explain everything that happened, as what went on between us is a secret, but I'm going to tell her anyway. "Are you going to tell me or not? The way you keep quiet means that there's something you are hiding," she questioned me. I shook my head quickly. "I'm not hiding anything. I'm just wondering why you are so interested in this since I already told you that we settled it." She looked at me suspiciously and then nodded. "I know I'm not supposed to be asking you this, but I still want to know because he was acting so weird today. Not that he hasn't always been rude to me, but he seems too happy for someone who got an apology. Did you have a deal with him?" Her questions suddenly made me think about everything—how I managed to settle this matter between us. FLASHBACKAfter f
Isaac's POV Fuck this! How does she even know that? I'm very sure I instructed everyone that she mustn't find out what was going on. Who could have told her this? No wonder she has been so quiet and acting strange with me. I just couldn't take it anymore. She was so good with me this morning, and now she was acting strange. It turns out that it was because of this nonsense. I'm going to deal with whoever told her this, but first, I need to find out how much she knows. "What do you mean, why did I lock Susan up? Why would I lock her up? I'm very sure you must have gotten the wrong idea," I told her, trying to deny things. But she shook her head like she couldn't believe what I was saying. "You shouldn't lie to me. I already know everything. I know you've locked her up ever since the incident with our daughter at the hospital, and you didn't let her go. She's already lost her legs—don't you think it's too cruel to lock her up without giving her freedom?" I could see that she was
Lily's POV Am I really listening to Susan's voice, or is someone else pretending to be her? Could it be that this is a prank? There's no way she would be calling me for help. No matter what happens to her, I know she hates me to that level—unless I'm involved in what is going on with her. But what exactly is going on? I can't seem to comprehend. "Are you sure you're really Susan? What is going on? I don't understand anything that you're saying. Can you just elaborate? Where are you, and what does this have to do with me?" I questioned her, hoping for more answers. I only heard her sobbing, and it strongly made me feel guilty. I still didn't know what this was about, but she seemed like she was in danger. "Since you were able to call me, can you just tell me where you are?" I asked her again. "I'm locked up by Isaac because of what happened to your daughter. I kept telling him I had nothing to do with it, but he won't believe me. You also don't believe me, right? You asked him
Lily's POV I had to take care of him all through the night. I can't believe he decided to hide this from me. What if I had not come in time? And what if something else had happened to him? What would I have done? I will not be able to explain that or say this to anyone. He's very annoying, and I don't even know what to do with him. But thankfully, I'm a doctor, and I can take care of him. He finally got better when it was getting closer to the morning, and I decided to get some sleep. I'm very tired from working at the hospital. I had to call the housekeeper to take care of Ayla yesterday because I couldn't come home to her. I'm sure she will understand if she knows I came to take care of her father. I lay down beside him, and soon enough, I fell asleep. I don't even know for how long I slept, but when I woke up, I still found myself on the bed. I decided to stretch myself; however, my body felt strange. That’s when I decided to look around and also at myself. I almost jumped w
