"I don't think we'll be able to find my daughter. What are we going to do now?" Mary, visibly stressed, asked from her seat in Daisy's house.That day, during their conversation, Mary eventually understood that Daisy simply wanted to help her, despite some initial blame.Every parent loves their kids, but Mary could see that Daisy genuinely wanted to assist her.So, she agreed, and they both exerted their best efforts to locate Alisha.Daisy inquired with everyone and visited all the places they could think of over the past two days, but to no avail.Now, seated in Daisy's house, both Mary and Daisy struggled to brainstorm, to no avail."I don't know what to say. I've done my best, but nothing seems to be working. It seems like we won't be able to find them unless Alice himself shows up. It's hard to predict his actions," Daisy sighed, looking drained.With no sleep for the past two days, both Mary and Daisy appeared fatigued and anxious."We can't do anything. Who knows what your son
In the penthouse,Alisha sat beside Alice on the bed, her sleeping form cradled in his arms. The stress of the past two days weighed heavily on him.When she confessed she wasn't Alice that day and he offered her a massage, she fell asleep and hadn't woken since.He had briefly considered taking her to the doctor first, but quickly dismissed the idea. He didn't want Edward to find out he was there, fearing he'd tell Daisy, something Alisha wanted to avoid.He refused to let any other doctors near Alice, not trusting them. So, he waited, ensuring she stayed hydrated with some watery substances and tending to her needs while also eating to keep his energy up.But if she didn't wake today, he decided he'd take her to the hospital. Her health couldn't be compromised any further."Angel, please wake up. You're scaring me. I'm here, desperate to see you open your eyes. Please, don't do this," Alisha whispered, his voice heavy with sadness and emotion.He'd never felt this way about anyone
Alice gently laid her sweaty body on the bed, then hurried out of the room to fetch her some water.Alisha glanced around, feeling dizzy and unwell.She'd never felt this exhausted before in her life.And the worst part? She couldn't remember much of what had happened or why Alice looked so stressed when he saw her.It was as if she'd woken up after an eternity, her body feeling like it had been asleep forever.It reminded her of the time she'd passed out at Alice's office, but this felt even worse.Now, she felt like her body was falling apart and everything was a mess.Her whole body felt sticky and dry, which only made things worse.‘What's happening?’ she wondered, her mind struggling to piece things together.Ever since she'd met Alice, or rather, since he'd forced himself into her life, things had changed.He spoke to her inappropriately, touched her without permission, and now she had no recollection of what happened.It made her feel like he was casting some sort of spell on h
"Then let's go there. First, you need to bathe. If you don't mind, maybe... I can bathe you?" Alice asked, feeling uncertain about how to broach the subject.Alisha's eyes widened as she heard him ask for her permission, something he had never done before when bathing her.Now that she had agreed to go to the beach and have lunch, she hoped it would lift her spirits, as she felt like she was wasting away in this bed.But she was taken aback by his sudden politeness. She hadn't expected this from him.He was acting like a good boy, but she knew he was not innocent. He was a devil.And yet, here he was, hesitating to ask if he could bathe her. It felt awkward.But she couldn't bathe herself, her body wasn't cooperating at all.She wanted to do it herself, but looking at her current condition, she knew she couldn't manage it.So she simply nodded and said, "Okay, bathe me."Alice smiled as he lifted her in his arms and carried her to the bathroom.Ten minutes later, he had bathed her and
Alice doesn't want to overwhelm her with the fact that he literally has the details about her before he even gets his hands on her. From the orphanage to every detail, but that detail now seems somewhat lacking. The way Alisha experiences episodes and displays different traits, along with her few likes not mentioned in the file he acquired.He needs to confront his assistant to demonstrate how incomplete information can lead to dire consequences."You're right. I don't know a lot of things about you, but perhaps I can learn them eventually, as we spend more time together. I'll get to know you better over time," Alice says with a radiant smile.Alisha feels like she's lost in his smile. She's never seen him smile like this before, especially at the beach, where his expressions appear softer, and his smile gives him a pleasant look."That's correct. You don't know everything. I'm not even sure if I want to spend more time with you. I'm only here because I don't want Mother Mary to se
"Alisha, come here this instant! What in the world are you up to?" a lady's voice resounded through the house.Alisha's excitement reverberated as she shouted back, "I'm coming, Mother Mary."As an orphan, Alisha always affectionately referred to Mary as her mother, for Mary had showered her with love and care, treating her as her own flesh and blood."Hurry, my dear. Today is your first day of college!" Mary's voice resonated once again, urging Alisha."I'm on my way! Just give me a moment!" Alisha swiftly responded.Adorned in a cute pair of shorts, a matching crop top, and denim shoes, Alisha descended the stairs and inquired, "Mother Mary, who were you shouting at?"Mary scolded her, "You little rascal! You're going to be late!"Curious, Alisha asked, "What does 'rascal' mean, Mother?"Deep in her thoughts, Mary sighed and prayed, "This child is so innocent, may God protect her from the cruelties of the world.""Nothing, my dear. Just drink this juice!" Mary replied.Alisha made a
"What the hell did I tell you? I want that scoundrel dead! If you fail to accomplish this, you shall face dire consequences!" Alice screamed, his anger boiling over. Without waiting for a reply, he abruptly ended the call.With an impassive expression, Alice greeted his mother, "Good morning, Mom.""Good morning, son," his mother mirrored his demeanour, responding in a calm tone.Taking his seat, Alice observed as the maid served the food, accidentally brushing him."How dare she touch me without permission?" his mind screamed, filled with outrage.He was not like those frivolous billionaires who indulged in promiscuity. His disdain for women extended to physical contact.Swiftly, he grabbed a knife and slashed the maid's arm, bellowing, "How dare you lay a hand on me! Leave this place before I sever your arm from your body!"His mother, taken aback, asked, "Why do you behave this way, Alice?"Alice turned to her, devoid of emotion, and replied, "Mom, I despise it when any woman touche
"Why am I doing this?" Alice wondered aloud as he carried the girl to the bathroom."A maid could have done it, but she would have touched her. I didn't want anyone to lay a finger on my angel," Alice thought, his voice brimming with concern and protectiveness. "What on earth is happening? Why is this crossing my mind? She is not mine.""No. She is yours," his conscience chimed in."She is not," Alice retorted, his voice filled with denial."So why do you want to bathe this girl? You know she wouldn't appreciate it," mocked his conscience. "A man cannot simply bathe any girl if she is not his."Alice pushed aside his thoughts and firmly resolved, "No. I am only doing it for her sake, as she needs a bath, her unconscious body reeking of blood."With determination in his voice, Alice brushed away his conflicting emotions as he entered the bathroom and prepared a soothing bubble bath for her. As he undressed both himself and the girl, he couldn't help but notice how delicate she was. Her
