Isaac's POV I messed up really bad. How am I going to make this up to her when she's so mad at me? I shouldn't have acted my anger out and now I soiled our relationship again. "I asked you a question and you're not responding. Where did you keep my daughter? Are you going to use her to blackmail me again you jerk?" She fired at me. I didn't know what to say to her because it hurt me a lot to know she only sees me as a violent person after what happened. It was never my intention to make things worse like that. "She's not with me."Her eyes widened in shock when I said that. She ran towards my car without saying anything and checking around it. I already knew she was going to act like this if I told her where Ayla is. She grabbed my collar, looking at me with anger and fear visible in her eyes. She's worried, I know she cares about our daughter a lot. "Where is my daughter? You bastard! Where did you keep her?" She shouted at me. "Please listen to me Lily, our daughter didn't go
Lily's POV This girl! Whose daughter is she? She just doesn't know when to not meddle in things between her father and me. I didn’t want Isaac to sleep over, and now she’s asking him to come inside. I don’t want to say that we are fighting, which is why I have no choice but to accept what my daughter wants.I decided to make dinner because I didn’t want to talk to Isaac, and my daughter still needs to eat something before she goes to bed. Even though I know she went out, there’s nothing like giving her my own homemade food.I watched as father and daughter played together. There is really no difference between them in terms of appearance, and they are both smart. Seeing them play together so happily reminded me of how happy she is with him and how much of a good father he is.I know his temper isn’t good at all, and he’s always getting mad at people coming close to me for no reason. But the most important thing is that he knows how to take care of his daughter, and that’s what I want
Lily's POV Last night was so crazy that I still think about it. I had my daughter come and apologize to me on behalf of her father, and she still ended up finding out that we were quarreling. In the end, I told him to be very careful, but he always makes things so obvious. If not, why would that little girl be able to discover something like that?But thankfully enough, I was able to listen to her and forgive him. Maybe it’s for the better—we don’t have to be fighting all the time. However, I still have to tackle the issue of finding Susan and also apologizing to Mr. Greene for what happened.I haven’t called him since yesterday after he refused to answer my calls. I don’t know if he’s going to come to his appointment today. His treatment is very important, and I hope he doesn’t use his anger to neglect it. Even if he’s going to find another doctor, they would still need to consult me on how the treatment is going.By the way, Isaac left so early in the morning and didn’t tell me whe
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
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
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
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
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
(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
