Chapter 29: Interview about James

One day I'll tell you everything. One day I'll tell you how I feel about you. Now I can't.. But I can't get you out of my head and out of my heart.. I don't know why it happened and especially how it happened. But you won my heart and I will do everything to make you happy. To see a smile on your face.

Daisy:

I woke up. It was dark everywhere. I was sleeping in Liam's arms. I moved and felt Liam grab me.

"Liam. Are you awake?"

"No. How are you feeling, Daisy?"

"Better. But everything hurts.  I still remember it," I whispered and closed my eyes.

"Sooner or later you'll forget about it. You'll see. I'm sorry that James caused you this pain. I didn't raise him like this, Daisy,"

"Do you want to talk about it?" I said and sat down on the bed.

"When Becky... My ex-wife told me she was pregnant, I wasn't thrilled. I was a young, aspiring doctor. I was building my career. But I was a doctor. I wouldn't send her for an abortion. Our relationship didn't last. James was born. We agreed that I would send her money. He was with me once and with her once. The more successful I was, the more she wanted him. It was a mistake,"

"But your relationship changed when he grew up, didn't it?"

"I became a successful doctor. I became the director and owner of that hospital. I got high  property, real estate. I gave him everything Daisy. Especially money and not a little. It changed him for the worse,"

,,Liam,"

,,I bought him clothes. I gave him money. I paid for the most expensive university in London for him. So that he would be a doctor like me.. Then I found out some things that disappointed me quite a bit,"

,,What things?,," I asked him and smiled.

"Every day he used a girl. Every day. He made them believe that he was successful and rich and that with my own money, Daisy. A few girls came to me and told me. One day they brought a girl to us in the hospital. She was brutally beaten. Her mother came to me and said. She told me that my son James did it to her. Daisy, he beat her so badly that she couldn't see. She lost her sight. Do you know how I felt?"

"Oh my God,"

"I asked him about it. He denied everything. She didn't take him to court. There was no evidence that it happened. Then I met you. You would have had the same fate as her if I hadn't taken you in. I found out who he really is. I found out what he does. That's why I wanted you to stay away from him. To forget about him. My son can't be such a monster.  He can't,"

,,You.. You think James isn't your son?,,"

,,Yes. I think so. I think James isn't my son. Daisy, he has nothing of me. Nothing. He doesn't even look like me. He does things that I would never think of. I feel like he's not my son," he said and stood up

,,Try to do DNA tests Liam. If James isn't your son, those tests will prove it,"

,,And if I'm right Daisy? Do you realize how much it's going to hurt me? The son I thought was mine for years, in the end isn't mine?,,"

,,I know it's going to hurt you Liam. It hurt me too. When I found out my father wasn't my father. When I found out my own mother separated me from my father.. It's going to hurt you but it's still better to know the truth than to live a lie. Don't you think?,," I asked him and smiled.

,,Daisy.. I think you know something. You know something and you won't tell me. What is it? Tell me. I want to know what it is," he shouted at me.

,,Okay Liam. I talked to him about you once. I didn't know anything about you then but I listened to him anyway. He told me he doesn't have a good relationship with you. He said you don't like him. He said you don't give him anything and that he feels you're not his father,"

,,I won't give him anything? I gave him everything. I bought him money, clothes. I bought him a flat in London where he took those bitches and to top it off I bought him a new car. Because he's my son. At least that's what I thought. If he was my son, he wouldn't do the atrocities he did. He almost killed you. That girl went blind just because of him. He took one of them every night.  Daisy, I've never been like this and as far as I know, neither has Becky, James's mom,"

,,If you want, then try to find out the truth, but Liam. The truth can hurt you a lot," I said and I heard the doorbell ring.

,,No. No. Don't go Liam. Please," I whispered and covered myself with the duvet..

,,Don't worry. I'm here with you," he said and went to open it. I heard a huge scream and a woman rushed into the room. I knew that woman. That's James's mom. She was looking at me like a murderer.

,,You have no business here Becky. Please leave," Liam said

,,I have no business here? Are you hiding that bitch here? That bitch who was dating our son? She was only with him for the money," she shouted at me

,,Wait a minute. I wasn't with James for the money, that's the first thing.  James never bought me anything. I'm not a slut. Your son abused me, what a joy," I screamed. I had to defend myself somehow, and at that moment I was able to tell them both the whole truth about their son James.

"Do you believe that?" she screamed at Liam

"Look, Becky. Our son kidnapped her just to get rid of her. What am I supposed to think? She had serious pneumonia before I even met her and they wanted to take her off life support. So what am I supposed to think about that?"

"You're a weakling, Liam. You're supposed to stick with our son, and you stick with that slut. What did she give you? Sex?"

"That's enough, Becky. I'm not a weakling! Stop insulting her. Tell me how we could raise such a monster as James? Are you blind?  Can't you see what he's doing?,"

,,What's he doing? He's trying hard in school. He found a job. After all, if you don't give him money, he has to earn it,"
