Liam’s POV“The results are in,” said the man in a white lab coat. He had stencils around his neck and a serious look on his face. His eyes moved from Mr. Reyes to me, then back again.In that moment, I could feel my whole body tense. But then Daisy squeezed my hand. Her touch was soft and calming. It helped slow my heartbeat. I just needed to know the truth now. Whether it would make me happy or break me. I needed to know.The doctor handed me a sealed white envelope and did the same for Mr. Reyes.I took a deep breath, the air feeling heavy in my lungs. “Here goes nothing,” I whispered, loud enough for Daisy to hear. She gave my hand another squeeze.I slowly opened the envelope and pulled out the results. My eyes scanned the page and then stopped on one line, just one.100% match.I froze. My chest tightened. My heart felt like it had stopped for a second.I turned to look at Daisy. Tears were already forming in my eyes. I couldn’t help it. Then I turned to Mr. Reyes. His mouth ope
Leonard Reyes’s POV“Is there another road we can use?” I asked, staring out the window of the Maybach, then glancing at my watch again. “I have a meeting right now.”I growled in frustration, the sound low in my throat.“Sorry, sir,” my driver responded quickly, tapping the wheel and scanning for an escape. “This is the only road that leads directly to your office. If I take another one, we’ll have to go all the way around town. That’ll add at least another hour.”Of course. This is exactly why I hate being in New York. Always traffic. Always chaos. I took a deep breath and leaned back against the seat, closing my eyes for a second to calm myself.Just then, my phone rang, breaking the silence.It was Mrs. Alba.Good.“Good morning, sir,” she said, her voice calm and respectful as always.“I just received a call from the receptionist downstairs. A Mrs. Daisy Karvoski is here to see you. I’ve already as
Daisy’s POV“That was the final candidate, and it's not a match,” the man in the white lab coat said, gently adjusting his glasses before turning around and walking out of the room.Just like that, another door closed.It’s been weeks since Trey dropped that horrible bombshell about Liam’s father. Ever since that day, we’ve searched everywhere, dug through files, and even tracked down men named Leonard Reyes across the country. None of them were the one.I sat beside Liam and gently rubbed his back, hoping to give him a little comfort. “Don’t worry, we’ll find him,” I said softly, my voice trying to be strong even though I was hurting inside too.Liam let out a tired sigh, then ran both hands through his hair and covered his face. “What if he’s already dead?” His voice cracked a little. “What if I was never meant to find him?”“Don’t say that,” I replied quickly. “Don’t you ever say that.” I reached out, held his hand, and squeez
Anna’s POV With all the valuable information I got from Trey, what better way to use it than to finally crush my little nemesis. Daisy. She thinks she’s untouchable now just because she’s the president of Turner Empire, she actually thinks she's safe. That Liam’s love will protect her. Cute. Really cute. But I’ve waited long enough. It’s time she learns that being on top only makes you an easier target. “Where is this girl?” I snapped, pacing across my office, my heels tapping loud and sharp against the marble floor. “She should’ve been here ten minutes ago.” I glanced at the clock again before rolling my eyes. I hated waiting. I hated depending on others. But Hazel was the only person who could get close enough to Daisy without raising suspicion. Finally, the door swung open. Hazel walked in, looking nervous as usual, holding a small black b
Hazel’s POV “Get the damn diary today.” That was Anna’s message. Not even a proper greeting. No “Hi Hazel,” no “Good morning.” Just a short, sharp order, as always. That was how she operated. Cold, commanding, and always in a hurry. And even though I was used to it, that didn’t mean it was easy. It never was. I wish following her orders were as simple as she made them sound. But no, life always had a funny way of getting in the way. Or maybe I should say Liam always had a funny way of being around Daisy at the worst possible times. Seriously, for the love of God, why didn’t he just take her out to lunch or go to his own office? He’s been in her office for hours! What kind of coffee are they drinking in there? Is it magic coffee that keeps lovers glued together or what? I was busy ranting in my mind when like a miracle from the universe, the door to Daisy’s office suddenly opened. And there she
Daisy’s POV“Coffee?” Liam’s voice echoed through my office the moment the door opened.I looked up, a little surprised. Funny enough, this was the same man who said we’d take things slow, and here he was, bringing me coffee like a true gentleman. I wasn’t expecting it, not at all.“No cream, no sugar. Just the way you like it,” he said, placing the steaming paper cup on my desk with a proud smile.Then he leaned in closer, slowly puckering his lips like he was asking for a kiss.“Eww! What are you doing?” I said, pretending to be disgusted. I pulled my head back slightly, playfully making a face.“Come on,” Liam grinned, his eyes dancing with mischief. “I know you missed these lips. You know you want to kiss me.”I couldn’t help but laugh. “I just kissed you an hour ago!” Shaking my head in fake annoyance.“Well, that’s the problem,” he said, placing a hand over his chest like he was heartbroken. “I need to kiss you every hour just to make sure you don’t forget how amazing I taste.”
