(Susan’s POV).

The hospital loomed ahead, its sterile walls glowing faintly under the evening lights. I parked my car and sat there for a moment, gripping the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles turned white.

My heart pounded relentlessly, the sound of it almost drowning out the whirlwind of thoughts in my head.

“I have to do this,” I whispered to myself, the words tasting like venom on my tongue. “She can’t be in Isaac’s life. She’s… she’s just a mistake. A mistake that will ruin everything.”

My breath hitched as the image of Ayla flashed in my mind—her innocent face, her soft voice. I tried to block it out, to remind myself of the stakes.

If Ayla stayed, Isaac would find out the truth. He’d go to Lily, and I’d lose him forever.

I stepped out of the car, my heels clicking against the pavement as I walked toward the hospital. My heart raced with every step, my resolve wavering but still strong enough to keep me moving forward. Inside, the smell of antiseptic hit me, sharp

    (Author's POV).Isaac woke up from his stupor with a heart device attached to his chest. He looked at the ceiling and took a deep breath.His hand instinctively went to his chest, where the remnants of the sharp, fleeting pain still lingered. He then removed those devices from his chest, making Susan shocked.“Isaac, what the hell are you doing?” Susan asked.But Isaac didn't answer her question. He was too focused on something he remembered.His mind raced as clarity returned, and with it, the memory of his promise to Lily.-I have to meet Lily. Ayla doesn’t have time to wait.- Isaac's mind.His pulse quickened, not from his earlier episode but from the urgency clawing at him. Ayla needed him. He couldn't waste another second lying here, useless. Isaac swung his legs off the hospital bed, his movements slow but determined.“Where are you going, Isaac?”She stood by his bedside, her brow furrowed with a mix of concern and something else—something sharper, like suspicion, but she knew

    (Isaac’s POV).As much as I hated her statement, she was right. I had to recover first if I wanted to help Ayla, because if I was in a state that had just had a heart attack even if it was only a short one, I still had to be healthy.I breathe in and out slowly, encouraging myself to think long and hard for Ayla's sake and so that I can get Lily back.“All right, then” I muttered through gritted teeth. “I’ll rest.” Emma exhaled audibly, her shoulders relaxing slightly. “Thank you, sir. It’s for the best.” I didn’t reply, letting my silence speak for my reluctance. Every fiber of my being wanted to bolt out of this room and get to Ayla, but I couldn’t afford to collapse in the process. I glanced around the room, looking for my phone. It wasn’t on the side table or anywhere within sight. “Emma,” I said, my voice low, “where’s my phone?” Her gaze darted to the floor for a fraction of a second before she answered, “The doctor instructed no electronic devices during your recovery.

    (Isaac’s POV).I dialed Lily’s number for what felt like the hundredth time, pacing back and forth in my office like a caged animal. Each ring that went unanswered sent a new wave of frustration crashing over me. “Come on, Lily. Pick up,” I muttered under my breath, my knuckles white as I gripped the phone. When her voicemail played yet again, I slammed the phone down on my desk with a force that rattled the papers scattered across it. “Damn it!” I cursed, running a hand through my hair in exasperation. Why won’t she answer? Is she avoiding me? Of course, she is—what else is new?I clenched my fists, my chest tightening as old memories resurfaced unbidden. My mind drifted back to that day years ago when Lily had walked out of my life without a backward glance. I could still hear her cold, clipped words: “I’m done with you, Isaac.” The pain from that day hit me like a sucker punch, and I sank into my chair, gripping the armrests as if they could anchor me. She left once. She

    (Isaac’s POV).The moment my plan crystallized, a wave of impatience overtook me. My hands itched to act, and the weight of urgency pressed hard on my chest. Ayla had to be with me. It wasn’t just about keeping Lily from leaving—it was about ensuring that Ayla was safe and within reach for the transplant. I grabbed my phone and dialed my secretary. “Mr. Isaac,” her voice came through crisply. “Listen carefully,” I began, my tone leaving no room for hesitation. “I need you to go to Ayla’s daycare immediately and bring her here. Tell the caretaker it’s a personal request from me. I want no delays.” There was a brief pause on the line before she replied. “Understood, sir. I’ll handle it.” I exhaled, my grip on the phone loosening slightly. “Thank you. Call me the moment you’re on your way back.” “Yes, Mr. Isaac.” As I hung up, a mixture of anticipation and nervous energy coursed through me. My eyes kept flicking to the clock on the wall as I paced my office. The minutes fe

    (Lily’s POV).“Ma’am, Ayla has been picked up by her guardian.” The words hit me like a slap across the face. I froze mid-step, staring at the daycare caretaker in disbelief. “What did you say?” My voice was sharp, but I couldn’t help it. The caretaker shifted uncomfortably, avoiding my gaze. “Ayla’s guardian came to pick her up earlier.” Shock morphed into rage, and I shook my head vehemently. “That’s impossible. Ayla’s only guardians are me and Mateo. Who took her? How could you let someone else take her without confirming it with me first?” The caretaker’s face paled, her hands wringing nervously. “I—I’m so sorry, Ms. Lily. The person who came said they were a messenger from you. They even mentioned your name.” My heart thudded painfully in my chest. I took a shaky breath, trying to steady myself, but the panic rising inside me was overwhelming. “And you believed them? You just handed my daughter over because they said my name?” The woman bowed her head in apology.

    (Lily’s POV).The room spun around me as I sat in Mateo’s office, clutching my knees to my chest. My mind raced, darting between fear, anger, and despair. Ayla was gone. My baby was gone, and I didn’t know where to start. I wiped at my damp cheeks, though the tears kept coming. My heart ached with every beat, each second that passed without her felt like an eternity. There was nothing I could do but wait and hope. Hope? The word felt hollow. Hope was for the powerless, and I didn’t want to feel powerless. “Lily.” Mateo’s calm yet firm voice broke through my spiraling thoughts. “We’ll find her. I’ve got people looking into it.” “I know,” I whispered, though the words felt empty. But even as he reassured me, a nagging thought wormed its way into my mind. I sat up straighter, the edges of a memory creeping in. My mind flashed to the first time Isaac met Ayla. Mateo gave me the warmth of his hand, rubbing it and I let that go for a while considering I needed a boost for mysel

    (Lily’s POV).“Where’s Ayla, Isaac?” I demanded, my voice trembling but sharp as a knife.Isaac, standing near the grand window of his study, turned slowly to face me. His expression shifted instantly. The smirk that usually adorned his lips vanished, replaced by a guarded look that made my blood boil. His jaw tightened, and for a split second, a flicker of something—guilt? Annoyance?—crossed his eyes before he stepped back and sighed.“I don’t know what you mean, Lily,” he said smoothly, his voice frustratingly calm.“Don’t play dumb with me, Isaac,” I snapped, following him as he casually moved to the other side of the room. My heels clicked against the polished floor, matching the rhythm of my racing heart. “I know you’re hiding her. Ayla was supposed to be in daycare, but the caretaker told me someone picked her up. Someone who claimed they were acting on my orders.”His eyes narrowed slightly, but his expression remained infuriatingly composed. “And you think that someone is me

    Chapter 106Lily's POV I've been awake for the past few hours, staring at the ceiling and not moving. It's not yet morning, and I just suddenly woke up. I need time to process everything that happened to me yesterday. I've been thinking about it all along, and I can't believe that Matteo would go that far to do something like that to me. I trusted him so much and saw him as a friend. I didn't think that he would go this far just to show that he wants me or not. To be honest, I never thought of us ending up this way. I always thought we would be friends, and even though sometimes it felt like he was showing me signs, I thought it was just out of friendship. I stood up and went into the bathroom. Then I went downstairs. I didn't have much to do, but I started cleaning without being told what to do. I still had a lot on my mind. It's not easy for me to forget that Matteo and I used to be so close, and now things have gotten bad between us. He almost assaulted me yesterday, and he w

    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
