Chapter 39: Lily

,,What do you think I should think, hmm? You had Daisy kidnapped just to get rid of her. Many years ago you brutally beat a girl who went blind. What do you think of you? And to top it off, you pulled a knife on her,"

"He caused me a lot of damage in the cafe. Among other things, he pulled a knife on me and kept telling me he was going to kill me. He needs to be sent to a psychiatric hospital," she said. James got angry and grabbed her by the hair.

"Enough. Stop it James," I screamed loudly and pulled him away from her.

"Chris. Please. Go sit with her and James will sit with me. This is not going to work. They're going to kill each other," I said and Chris sat down next to her. He smiled at her again. What's wrong with him?

"You're kidding me, Dad.  You spend all your free time on her,"

,,You're crazy that I have Daisy. That I like her. That I love her. You think I'm going to transfer all my assets to her. You're wrong. Daisy is a capable woman. I love her and you'll leave her alone. As for this situation, I'll pay for all the damages associated with what happened. But you, James. You leave Daisy alone. You won't even go near her, you'll forget about her. I know what you did to her and I can easily put you in jail,"

,,Father,"

,,I've had enough of your outbursts. Enough! You'll leave her alone. You won't go near Emma or Daisy. If you do, if you hurt them, you'll go to prison for a really long time. Do you understand me?,"

,,What do you see in her?  What?,,"

,,Daisy is the most amazing and gentle woman I've ever met, James. I fell in love with her fragility. With the way she is,,"

,,She's my age, dad. She's half your age,,"

,,Age doesn't matter, James. I know she's only 26 and I'm 39. But I love her. I would give her absolutely everything. After what you did to her. You and Mark. I'm the only man who can touch her, the only man who can kiss her and not fight back. Something draws me to her. I hope we've made that clear," I said and stood up

,,If I don't get my revenge on her, Mark will and it'll be even worse.  Remember that,"

,,None of you are even going to touch her. I don't understand why you're so obsessed with hurting her. Isn't that enough? I'll protect her even if I have to die,"

One Hour Later:

,,You like her," I said and drove. He looked at me incomprehensibly.

,,Who?,"

,,Come on Chris. I'm not an idiot. I saw the way you looked at her. You like her,"

,,Stop it. She's pretty but that's all," he said and picked up his cell phone

,,Chris. I've known you for years and you know me.  I admitted to myself that I fell in love with Daisy but you didn't admit to yourself that you fell in love,"

,,I like Liam. But until I have a closed past, I can't start a future,"

,,Are you referring to your daughter?,,"

,,Yes. I'm referring to my daughter. I can't start a relationship when I don't know where my daughter is and if my daughter Daisy is. I even gave her my number. Why is everyone obsessed with getting revenge on her? Hurting her?,,"

,,I don't know. As if that wasn't enough. She's been abused almost her whole life, Chris. Why do they want revenge on her?  For being with you?,,"

,,Of course I do. Everyone is upset. I don't get it. I don't understand why. I understand James but the others? She didn't do anything to them. Absolutely nothing,," I said

,,I've never seen such bad people as they are and I'm extremely disappointed in Emma. She wasn't that bad,,"

,,What do you mean, she wasn't that bad?,,"

,,She was bad but I loved her. Then that night happened. The night our daughter was born. I know Lily had a very difficult birth but in the end everything went well and our daughter was born. But when I look at her like that, I can't believe my ears what she is,,"

I pulled into the garage. We were going to the hospital but Amanda stopped me.

,,I made a mistake,,"

"Why? What did you do? Daisy. Is it Daisy?"

"I let her mom in. I didn't know I didn't. They've been arguing for a long time and she still doesn't want to leave. I'm sorry,"

"I banned visitors from coming to her. What didn't you understand?" I screamed loudly

"I'm sorry Liam. She's her mom. I didn't know there would be a problem," she said. I looked at Chris and we went to her room together.

They were still arguing. The room was in terrible shape. There were broken things on the floor. Neither of them noticed us.

"I've had enough of you. I'm fed up with you! I'm sorry you were ever born! You should have died. I had a difficult birth. I wish you hadn't been born," she shouted at her.

"Lily. That's enough. You've said enough already," Chris said.  At that moment, it hit me. Lily had a difficult birth with Chris's daughter and now she told Daisy that she had a difficult birth with her. That means he's her father.

"Chris.. Liam.. That's not how it sounded,"

"Why did you come here? To further oppress her? To mentally abuse her? I forbade you from coming here and you still do what you want. Why can't you leave her alone?" I said

"Because she hates me. Didn't you, Mom? You hated me since I was a little girl. You didn't like anything. Whether I did something good or bad, you punished me for everything. You didn't see a single good side to me. You made me sleep in the basement. You sold me to other men. You sent me to a psychiatric hospital and wanted to take everything away from me. When I found James, you made sure he cheated on me with Zoe. You took everything away from me.  Love, hope and especially my father,"

,,Father? Your father is just as weak as you are. You are weak, just like him. You are nothing like him. I regret not throwing you in the canal then," she shouted at her

Those words were very cruel. I know it hurt her a lot. She was hurt by what she was going through and how her own mother treated her.. I couldn't figure out why everyone hated her so much. What had she done to deserve such cruel words.
