LOGINDaisy’s POV The first thing I felt when I wake-up was pain like my entire body had been dragged underwater and left there too long. My eyelids felt difficult to open and my throat burned every time I breathed, and something cold pressed against the back of my hand. An IV. The realization came slowly, blurred and disoriented beneath the fog in my head when I tried to move slightly a dull ache immediately spread through my abdomen. Fear crept quietly into my chest. I opened my eyes properly afterward. The room was dim except for the soft light above me. Machines beeped steadily nearby while the smell of antiseptic filled the hospital room. For several seconds, I only stared at the ceiling silently, trying to understand why my chest suddenly felt so tight. Then I turned my head slightly. And saw Liam sitting beside the bed. The moment I looked at him something inside me sank immediately. His head was lowered, elbows resting on his knees while one hand remained
Liam POV The moment I saw Daisy tied to that chair I felt the entire world stopped moving around me For one horrifying second, there was no sound inside that abandoned warehouse except the violent ringing in my ears while my eyes locked onto her motionless body. Her head hung forward weakly. Her wrists were bound so tightly the ropes had cut into her skin. So much blood stained the front of her dress. And worst of all she wasn’t moving. “Daisy.” My voice barely came out. It sounded broken. Unrecognizable. I crossed the room so fast the guards behind me couldn’t even keep up, my heartbeat slamming violently against my ribs with pure panic No no no no I dropped to my knees directly in front of her so hard pain shot through them instantly, but I barely felt it. My shaking hands grabbed the ropes around her wrists desperately. “Baby…” My fingers trembled so badly I could barely untie the knots. “Please wake up…” The ropes finally loosened. Her body immediately collaps
Daisy’s POVSomething felt wrong almost immediately.At first…I tried ignoring it.Because Liam had already become overly paranoid these past few months.Every small thing automatically becomes suspicious to him now.Different route? Dangerous.Unknown phone call? Dangerous.Late reply? Dangerous.Honestly…Pregnancy somehow turned my husband into a full-time security system.So when the convoy suddenly changed direction after passing Taft Avenue, I didn’t panic immediately.I only frowned slightly while looking out the tinted car windows.“This isn’t the hospital route.”The driver answered calmly without looking back.“Road closure ahead, ma’am.”One of the guards inside the passenger seat nodded afterward.“Alternative route only.”That should’ve reassured me.Instead…The uneasy feeling inside my chest worsened.Because something about the atmosphere suddenly changed.The escort vehicle behind us disappeared after entering an underpass.Then I noticed another thing.The guard sit
Liam’s POVAfter everything Veronica did…After the threats.The stalking.The media attacks.I thought I had already secured everything around Daisy.Every entrance is monitored.Every guard investigated.Every route was checked personally by me.I trusted no one easily anymore.Or at least…That’s what I believed.Until the betrayal came from inside my own security team.And by the time I realized itIt was already too late.That morning started normally.Painfully normally.Daisy was preparing for her prenatal checkup upstairs while I handled an emergency acquisition meeting from my office at home.I hated not accompanying her personally.Especially lately.Not after Veronica resurfaced.But Daisy had spent the entire week complaining that I treated her like “fragile glass.”Although honestly…She wasn’t entirely wrong.When I entered the bedroom, she was sitting on the edge of the bed, slowly fixing the sleeve of her dress.My gaze immediately lowered toward the slight curve of he
Liam’s POVFor four peaceful months…Everything was quiet.Too quiet, apparently.Daisy’s pregnancy continued progressing slowly, and although she still became exhausted easily, things had stabilized enough that I finally stopped feeling constant panic every time she stood up too quickly.Not completely.Just enough to breathe normally again.She was exactly four months pregnant now.And somehow…Every single day, she became even more beautiful.Which honestly felt unfair.Especially because she still insisted she looked “terrible.”UnfortunatelyPeace never lasted long around people like us.I learned that the hard way.That morning started normally enough.Too normally.Daisy was still asleep upstairs while I handled several postponed meetings from the study downstairs.The company had survived four months of me refusing unnecessary business trips.Barely.My assistant entered the study quietly while holding several folders.“Sir, the Hong Kong documents require your signature befor
Liam’s POVThe moment Daisy finally fell asleep in my arms, I knew she had been forcing herself to stay strong for far too long.Even now…Her breathing remained uneven.Like her body still hadn’t fully relaxed despite the exhaustion dragging her under.I stayed awake quietly beside her, one arm around her waist while my hand rested protectively over her stomach.Our baby.The thought still didn’t feel real sometimes.A child.Mine and Daisy’s.I lowered my eyes toward her sleeping face.She looked peaceful now.Too peaceful compared to earlier.Because that moment inside the bathroom kept replaying inside my head over and over again.The sound.The sudden thud against the sink.The fear that shot through my chest before I opened the door.I closed my eyes briefly.Damn it.For one secondOne single secondI thought she had fallen.And I hated how helpless that feeling made me.I’ve dealt with billion-dollar negotiations without flinching.Handled enemies.Handled pressure.Handled be
