Chapter 31: James

Liam:

It was night. I tried to sleep but I couldn't. I was tossing and turning from side to side. I was worried about a few things, but mostly James. I knew Daisy hadn't told me everything. I knew she was lying to me, maybe to keep me from hurting me. I heard Daisy screaming and crying. I ran to her room. She was asleep and crying in her sleep. I sat down next to her and pulled her into my arms.

"Shh.. I'm here.. I'm here Daisy. Don't worry. Calm down. I know you feel me here," I said and put my hand in her hair. I felt her calm down.

"Don't go anywhere. Stay here. Please,"

"I'm here. I'll be with you all night. Don't worry," I said and I felt her fall asleep. I lay down next to her and kissed her hair. Something happened there that gave her nightmares. Something she didn't tell me but she would tell me.

I felt her snuggle up to me. I closed my eyes and ran my hand over her thigh. I could still touch her. Her skin. Her scent. Her lips. I knew that sooner or later I wouldn't be able to take it. I knew that sooner or later she would be mine and no one would stop me from doing so. Not even James.

Daisy:

I woke up in Liam's arms in the morning. My leg was in his crotch. I ran my hand over his crotch. He whimpered but continued to sleep. He was sleeping soundly. I ran my hand over his crotch again and I felt it growing in size.

"Daisy.. Daisy," he mumbled in his sleep. I smiled. I felt him move. I closed my eyes.

"Oh my God.. You excite me even when you're sleeping," he whispered and went to the bathroom. I smiled. What are you doing in the bathroom Liam? I sat on the bed.

"Daisy.. Aren't you sleeping?" Liam asked me. He had a towel wrapped around him and was completely pale.

"I'm awake now Liam," I whispered and smiled.

"How are you feeling? You had nightmares last night. I stayed with you. You screamed in your sleep. You cried. You didn't tell me the whole truth, did you? What happened there?"

"Liam. I can't. I'm sorry," I whispered and looked away from him. My gaze still wandered to his chest. Why?

"I need you to tell me Daisy.. You have to tell me. Daisy, I'm going to operate on you. It's a serious operation. I need to know what happened there. I can't risk anything happening to you,"

"They injected me with drugs.. James came and besides that man.. Both of them raped me, Liam. Both of them and I.. I can't forget it. You can't forget it.. They both took turns on me," I whispered and cried. Liam came to me and hugged me.

,,I'll kill him. I swear I'll kill him. Come on. Calm down okay? I'll help you. You'll forget about it. With my help,"

,,It's still in my head. I still see it. I can't help it. I feel horrible. I feel and look like trash that someone threw away and abused," I said and cried even more.

,,Shh. Calm down, okay? Try to calm down. I'm here. I'm with you. I won't let anyone, anyone, touch you," he whispered and hugged me. Despite the fact that Liam is James' father. I still felt safe with him. He could touch me, he could hug me.

,,I'm not just leaving it like that. Such an act must be punished sooner or later Daisy.. I will kill him. I will never let anyone touch you again. I will not allow it, "

,,I am tired Liam. I am very tired, " I whispered and closed my eyes. I felt him grab my hand and prick me with something.

,,You will feel much better, " he whispered and I felt him put his hand in my hair. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Liam:

I was incredibly upset. Daisy told me an incredible amount about James. I had to go to him. I had to make it dark for him. Daisy was asleep. I locked the entire apartment with a security code and if anyone tried to get into the apartment, the alarm would immediately go off.

,,Dad. What are you doing here?, " James asked me. He opened the door to his apartment that I bought for him. I was nervous and upset. I walked up to him and punched him in the face.

"What was it for this time?"

"Don't act like an idiot! You know what it was for! Do you think I didn't find out what you did to Daisy when Mark kidnapped her? What atrocities did you do to her?" I screamed loudly

"What atrocities? She wanted it. She wanted it," James said and smiled. I thought I was going to hit him again.

"She's having nightmares! She's screaming! Don't tell me she wants you,"

"She's always been a bit hysterical. Has she gotten into your bed yet?,,"

I couldn't help myself and punched him in the face again. Blood was pouring from his nose.

"You leave her alone. You don't even touch her, James. Do you understand? Do you understand me? Daisy is under my protection and if you come near her, I will kill you. I swear,"

"Don't worry. She won't get away with this. She'll still have it in her head,"

"But yes. Daisy will forget about it. I'm the only man who can touch her, after all this. I'm the only man who's there when she can't sleep and she always calms down after that. This is your last warning, James. Daisy is mine and mine alone and don't you dare go near her. Do you understand me?" I shouted loudly

"So you've fallen in love with her, haven't you?"

"Yes. I've fallen in love with her, James. I love her and I won't let her go through that again. You won't touch her again. You won't write to her,"

"So you'll start with her but not with your mother, will you? How is she different? We could have been a normal family but no, you have to fall in love with a slut like her," he shouted at me

"Stop it James! Enough. Daisy is not a slut or anything like that. Daisy is an amazing woman and I will not let anyone, not even you, hurt her. If you touch her again, I will kill you. Daisy is mine," I shouted and walked away. I had to do it. I will never let anyone hurt her again, let anyone touch her. I will put her back together little by little.
