(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 myself

(Lily’s POV).“Sit if you want me to help you find Ayla.”Isaac’s words hung in the air, heavy with authority. His calm tone contrasted starkly with the storm raging inside me. My fists clenched as I glared at him, my heart pounding so loudly it echoed in my ears. How could he act so composed when I was falling apart?“You can’t be serious.” My voice cracked slightly, betraying the vulnerability I hated to show in front of him.Isaac raised an eyebrow, his demeanor unbothered. “I’m always serious, Lily. Sit.”I wanted to scream, to demand answers, to rip apart the calm exterior he wore like armor. But the knot in my stomach reminded me that Ayla was missing, and I had no room for pride. My shoulders sagged as I dropped into the chair he’d pulled out for me, the scrape of the wood against the marble floor mirroring the reluctance in my heart.Isaac moved with maddening precision, adjusting the table setting like this was some dinner date. Meanwhile, my mind spiraled out of control. W

(Lily’s POV).To my surprise I kissed him back without thinking that it was a mistake. I guess this was what I needed after a long time not to do this with him. I was too with anyone, especially Mateo since Isaac and I broke up. And now… just like the old time, he and I did again.I moaned as he kissed me so deeply, sucked my neck and undressed me quickly while I did the same—undressed him.His touch was too hot to me and it was like I missed this so much. For a moment, I let myself allow this naughty thing to happen to me because I was too stressed for so long because of him and I knew he was the one the cure for all this stress as well.But suddenly my positive sides reminded me why I was here. “Isaac,” I managed to say, my voice trembling. “This… This isn’t what I came for.”He paused, his gaze softening. “I know, Lily. But can’t we just… feel this? Even for a moment?”I was hypnotized by him after he replied to me with that. Even without waiting for my answer, he already shut my l

(Lily’s POV).His disheveled appearance and the exhaustion etched on his face didn’t deter the fire in his gaze.“Lily,” he began, his voice lower than usual, tinged with a strange mix of frustration and pleading.I let out a heavy sigh, trying to keep my emotions in check. “Isaac, it’s unfair for you to use Ayla’s name to keep me here,” I said, my tone clipped.His jaw tightened, and he took a step closer. “This isn’t about keeping you here,” he replied firmly. “I swear, Lily, this time, I really want to talk about Ayla.”I scoffed, a humorless laugh escaping before I could stop it. “Oh, now you do? Because since last night, I’ve been waiting for you to say something meaningful. Instead, you set me up, Isaac,” I snapped, my eyes narrowing. “You dragged me into one of your old games—like always.”His shoulders stiffened at my words. His frustration was evident, but so was his determination. “Do you honestly think that’s all this is to me?” he asked, his voice laced with incredulit
