"What's this, Daisy?"Still struggling to catch her breath, Daisy lowered her head to look at River. Seeing River stunned at something in her body, Daisy followed the man's gaze. She blinked her eyes, with her brain messed up because River had messed with her body, she tried to think about what could have stunned River like that."Oh!" Daisy screamed in surprise and immediately sat up when she finally realized what had made River stunned. Her hands quickly pulled the blanket to cover her body while her body backed away from River."Oh, no..." Daisy whispered when she saw the confused expression on River's face, who was currently looking at her. "Why should I wear underwear like this?" she complained in her heart.In the days when Daisy was still waiting for River's return, she would always wear lingerie under her clothes. She intended to greet River by immediately paying her promise to the man when River returned home.But after a few days and River not coming home or contacting her,
"I thought of two possibilities when I saw you sleeping surrounded by my ties," River said, which made Daisy, who was in his arms, look up at him. Staring at the man while waiting for him to continue his speech."Firstly, I thought you must have missed me a lot and the habit we had every morning where you would tie my tie. And the second one..." River hung his words, making Daisy look at him curiously.In a whisper, River continued, "I thought you were going to tie my ties together to make a rope and use it to kill yourself in my room because you were pissed at me for going away without a word from you.""How could I kill myself that easily!" Daisy protested while patting River's chest, making him chuckle at her. "I have my reasons.""What reason is that?" River asked curiously, making Daisy sigh when she remembered that a few hours earlier, she had made a decision that made her heartbroken."Before leaving, I will tie all your ties. That way, even though I'm not here, you don't have
"What if something bad happens?"Inside her room, Daisy was pacing around restlessly while biting her thumbnails. She felt very uneasy when she thought about what River might do after the man left her after finding out that she had met Rion before."I should have explained it properly. How could I just let him go without explaining anything? What if he misunderstands?" Daisy hits herself on the head, starting to regret letting River leave her without explaining anything to him."I hope he comes home soon," hoped Daisy. "That way I can explain to him if I don't believe anything Rion tells me. I'm just going to believe everything he says."***"Argh..." Rion groaned as his body fell to the ground. But when he tried to lift his body, someone kicked him hard in the back and made his body fall back on the ground.Tap.Tap.Tap.With his face battered and covered in blood, Rion was trying to raise his head when he heard footsteps approaching him. With his eyes unable to open fully due to sw
"Ah, my head…."River woke up from his sleep clutching his dizzy head. He used his elbows to support his body while his gaze wandered around the room."Why am I staying here?" he muttered as he realized this was a private room in his hotel. He couldn't remember what happened last night until his eyes fell on Daisy's small back wearing his shirt, standing on the room's balcony.And as he stared at Daisy's back, River instantly recalled everything that had happened last night. Starting from him waiting for Daisy's arrival while drinking several glasses of whiskey, kissing Daisy as soon as she arrived in his room, then the hot night they had afterward.River blinked his eyes when he remembered his biggest secret that last night he told Daisy everything, at the same time, Daisy turned her body and looked at him from the balcony.River blinked again when he saw Daisy, wearing only a white shirt to cover her body, walking towards him. Then, after sitting on the bed, Daisy stretched out her
"When I was 2 years old, Hector Goldwin left my mother and me to marry the woman he was set up to marry. For some time, my father and mother continued to have a relationship, but my father's legal wife tried various ways to get rid of me and my mother. Finally my mother decided to really leave and never see her lover again until her death. She had always tried to keep us away from the Goldwins until her death a few months ago. Then I intended to have a relationship with River Goldwin who is my younger brother, but this is exactly what he did to me."River watched Rion's interview inside his hotel room while biting his fist nervously. Rion, who wore a battered appearance and told various sad stories he had experienced while living with a single mother without ever getting attention from his biological father, who is a billionaire, managed to attract public sympathy.And not only that, but he also managed to turn all the admiration of the people who had been focused on River into hatred
"He really sent me money." Daisy muttered in disbelief after checking her account balance.Not because of the fantastic amount of money River sent her, but Daisy couldn't believe it because the man had the heart to end their relationship with money like this.Daisy tried to call River's number while gritting her teeth to stop the tightness in her chest. The first call was just cut off, but Daisy didn't give up and tried to contact River again. Her trembling hand pressed the phone to her ear. Her eyes filled with tears when she heard the operator's warning about River's number being inactive."No. No…" Daisy shook her head while a single tear rolled down her cheek. "Why is he like this? Why did he pay me and tell me to quit?"Daisy's right hand raised to squeeze her chest, which felt very tight. Her tears flowed even harder when she realized that she was no different from River's exes, who were dumped by that man."I should have been different. He said he fell in love with me, then why
"The situation is really serious right now, so you'd better stay out of it," Zoey warned Daisy, who could only stare at her in confusion.Daisy, who didn't understand what kind of situation was happening to River, almost ran to him when she saw the security guards pushing him out of the hotel. But Zoey, who saw her, stopped her and took her to a quieter place to explain everything.But even after hearing Zoey's explanation, Daisy still couldn't stop thinking about everything that had happened to River."He was fine yesterday," Daisy said, remembering how everything was fine when she was out with River before Sean called the guy and made him leave. "How could Rion snatch all of them in just one night?""He's obviously been planning this for a long time and it only took him one night to make it happen," Zoey said. "He took everyone who was on River's side and left him completely alone.""Sean?" asked Daisy, who doubted that Sean would ever leave River.But Zoey lowered her head languidl
"Why are you doing this to him? Let him go!"In that tense atmosphere, Daisy tried to stop a police officer trying to handcuff River. She held River's wrists tightly, unwilling if the police put on handcuffs and treated River like a criminal."We have arrest warrants and if you obstruct us, you can also be punished for defending the criminal," said a police officer.But instead of making Daisy let go of her grip, the policeman's words made Daisy hold River's hand even tighter. Glancing angrily at the policeman before her, she said, "Criminal? Who did you say—""Daisy."A soft call with a weak voice that came out of River's mouth managed to stop Daisy's words. The woman turned her gaze to River, and suddenly her heart sank when she saw that River's eyes—which usually always managed to intimidate her—now looked so resigned and helpless."Go home. Don't worry about me. I'll handle this myself," River said."But..." Daisy wanted to refute River's words, but her attention was diverted when
