Chapter 26: Why Dad?

Daisy:

I was sitting. My mom came to see me. They were coming and going every now and then. I didn't know what they wanted to do with me.

"Why did you come, mom?"

"You've become a woman. How did you like it with that old man?" she said, grinning.

"I was drugged! It was disgusting. You'd better kill me," I screamed at her.

"Of course not. Tomorrow you're getting married and going to Los Angeles with him. You're going to forget about Liam. You're not going to contact him. You're going to erase him from your life. Do you understand that? Now I'm going to tell you the whole truth,"

"I won't forget him."  I'll think about him every day," I screamed out loud. She laughed.

"I'll tell you the truth, you won't tell anyone here anyway. Many years ago I slept with a man. He was beautiful, smart and intelligent. He was a budding doctor. I slept with him. I got pregnant. I got pregnant. It was never supposed to happen but it did. I put you in a foster home and told Mark. We adopted you. Such a poor thing,"

"Who's my father? Who?"

"A respected doctor. A famous surgeon. He tried to find you but no luck. He couldn't find you. That weakling will never know you're his daughter. Never,"

"Why do you hate me so much?  Why?,,"

,,Because you shouldn't have been born at all. That's why! What don't you understand?,,"

,,I'm paralyzed,,"

,,He'll have fun with you anyway and forget about your Liam. He'll forget about you in a moment,,"

I started crying. My mom came over to me and slapped me. She always did this when she was unhappy with me.

,,You're just a zero. Weakling. You're just as zero as your father. Just as same. Look at yourself, how you behave. He'll punish you.  "You'll see tomorrow," she said and walked away.

Every day, every minute I felt worse and worse. I wasn't eating. I felt so weak. There was James, Mark, my mom, and that disgusting guy who raped me. I couldn't imagine not seeing Liam again. That I wouldn't see his beautiful smile. That I wouldn't feel his lips on mine. James came over to me again and grinned.

"I was at my dad's. He's pretty sad about you getting married. Do you know what he told me? That he loves you. How could he fall in love with you? How the hell?" he screamed at me. I curled up into a ball. What made me the most angry was that I couldn't walk at all.

"He said that?" I mumbled and closed my eyes

"He said he wouldn't enjoy you. I'm telling you. You're going to get married and forget about my father. Is that clear? You're going to forget," he yelled at me. Liam. How I wish I could be with you right now. I want to hug you. I regret everything that happened. How I wanted to kill myself. If I could go back in time, I would.

"Liam is an amazing man,"

"Yes. Sure. But you won't be with him. You'll forget about him and he'll forget about you. He'll write everything about me and I'll be rich. Great plan, right?"

"Isn't that what you did all this for?  Because you think you're going to inherit something?,"

"Why do you think you're here? I needed to get rid of you. I needed you to disappear. Dad's too soft. I don't know what you did to him, but he obviously fell in love with you. Mark gave me a helping hand. We kidnapped you. If you hadn't been in his apartment, if you hadn't known him, none of this would have happened. Why didn't you stay on the street? Why?" he yelled at me

"He wanted to help me,"

"And you took advantage of it right away, didn't you? My father will forget about you sooner or later,"

"Liam will look for me everywhere. Absolutely everywhere. Go away James," I muttered quietly and closed my eyes. He came to me and kicked me very hard in the stomach. I felt a huge pain. I heard the door slam.

I had various bruises on my body that James had caused me. I hope that one day I will have the opportunity and tell Liam everything that happened here and why James did it. The fact that I am here is because of James. If it weren't for him, nothing would have happened.

I don't understand how I could have loved him. How could I have? A man came in and smiled at me.

"You must mean a lot to Liam. He gave me £250,000 and he'll give me the rest when I get you out of here,"

"Did he say that?",

"I'll get you. I don't know how or when. But I'm not letting that money go. Even Mark doesn't pay me that much. Do you want to talk to him?" he asked me. I nodded. He handed me the phone.

"What's up Freddie? Have you gotten her out yet?" he said. I heard his voice again.

"Liam,"

"Daisy. Honey. How are you? How are you feeling?",

"Give.. Give me the phone for a moment. Get me out Liam. Please. I'm weak. I haven't eaten anything. They're giving me drugs and they're going to sell me to some man tomorrow. He raped me.  I don't want to end up like this, please,"

,,Daisy. Don't be afraid okay? I'll get you out of there.. You have to be strong. I promise you that we'll be together today. Today,"

,,You promise?,," I whispered and I started crying.

,,I promise you. We'll be together today. I won't let anything happen to you. I want you to be strong,"

,,Okay," I whispered and he took my phone. He put it to his ear.

,,There's going to be a drug raid here today and they'll find Liam here. I told you the risks of everything. If they catch James here, he'll go to jail. Do you want to risk it Liam?,,"

,,Okay. When he's out, I'll be waiting for the 250 thousand pounds. You'll send them to my account.  She must really mean a lot to you," he said and hung up. I heard his beautiful voice again. I hope and believe that one day we will meet Liam. Mark came to us and looked at us.

,,Leave me alone with her. I need to take care of something with her," he said. I closed my eyes.

,,So you fucked James's father? You're such a slut," he shouted at me.

,,I didn't fuck anyone. I was at his place because he wanted to help me. That's all,"

,,I don't know what you did. I don't know how you made him fall in love with you but I swear you'll regret it. Now and here. Right this moment," he shouted and slapped me hard. I started crying. He might beat me to death that I'd die,,"
