DIESEL POV

The more the footsteps kept getting closer, the more my hand instinctively moved toward the knife at my waist. I turned sharply, body already tense and ready for whatever was coming.

But then Hawk came out of the corner.

I let out a breath. I wasn’t expecting him at all — not when I had left him in the middle of what we were doing earlier, and he had claimed he needed to sort some shit out.

“Hey,” I said, looking at him.

He was breathing heavily, eyes darting around the hallway like

    DAISY POVDiesel turned on the shower, testing the water temperature with his hand before stepping back.I hesitated only a moment, then reached for the hem of the oversized shirt and pulled it over my head, letting it drop to the floor. I stood there in just my panties, feeling exposed but safe under his gaze.Diesel’s eyes darkened, but he stayed gentle. He kicked off his boots, stepped into the shower stall with me still fully clothed otherwise, and lathered the soap between his palms.“You’re going to get soaked,” I whispered, half-laughing.“Worth it,” he said simply.His hands moved slowly over my shoulders, down my arms, and across my back — careful, deliberate, almost reverent. When his soapy fingers brushed the curve of my breast, a soft shiver ran through me. He didn’t rush. He washed my hair next, massaging my scalp until I leaned back against his chest with a contented sigh, the warm water cascading over both of us.By the time he rinsed me off and wrapped me in a thick to

    DAISY POVI woke up slowly, my eyes still heavy with sleep. I reached across the bed with one hand, searching for Raven, but the space beside me felt empty and cool. Blinking fully awake, I realized she was really gone. Before I could even process that, I became aware of a presence behind me.I turned my head, and my breath caught in my throat.Diesel was still there.He sat slumped in the small chair beside the bed, arms crossed over his chest, head tilted back against the wall. His eyes were closed, but he didn’t look comfortable at all—like he had fallen asleep while watching over me. His hair was messy, one hand resting loosely on his stomach while the other hung over the arm of the chair.My heart did a funny little flip.I stayed quiet for a moment, just drinking him in. He looked tired, yet peaceful in a way I rarely got to see. The soft morning light streaming through the window cast gentle shadows across his face, sharpening the strong line of his jaw and highlighting the sma

I wasn’t expecting him at all — not when I had left him in the middle of what we were doing earlier, and he had claimed he needed to sort some shit out.“Hey,” I said, looking at him.He was breathing heavily, eyes darting around the hallway like he was searching for something he couldn’t find. His face was all twisted up, sweat on his forehead, looking like he’d lost the most important thing in the world.“What the fuck is it?” I asked again, trying to catch his attention.“Hey D,” he said, still scanning every shadow. “Have you seen Raven?”Wow, so it’s about Raven.“So you’re looking like a stolen goat because of Raven?” I said, chuckling with a smile.“Will you just give me an answer if you know where she is?” Hawk snapped.I stood u

    DAISY POV“I’m asking for the fucking tenth time — what really got into you?” I said, stuffing another piece of cake into my mouth and completely forgetting about the porridge that was supposed to cure my hangover.“Dear Daisy, I’m also answering for the fucking tenth time that I’m fucking fine,” Raven replied, rolling her eyes as she fed me a forkful of pancake.Wow. Just wow.I stared at the digital clock on the wall. We had actually spent two whole hours together, laughing, eating, and talking like normal girls. The way we were clicking felt unreal. I almost wished we had built this kind of friendship from the very first day.I tilted my head, studying her for a second.“I’ve heard some Christians and elders do deliverance to cast out…”“Demons,” Raven finished for me, one eyebrow shooting up. She leaned back in the chair, crossing her arms. “Are you saying I’m possessed or what?”“Ooh, I don’t mean it that way!” I quickly waved my hands, laughing nervously. “I’m just wondering wha

    Daisy looked completely out of it, her drunk eyes half-closed. She kept murmuring “sorry… so sorry…” in a sleepy, slurred voice, though she barely seemed aware of what she had done. Her head lolled slightly as she tried to speak, but the words faded quickly.“I didn’t… mean to… ruin it…” she mumbled, her voice growing quieter.I stood up quickly, pulled off my soaked shirt, and tossed it aside. The vomit had reached my skin, but I didn’t care. Daisy mattered more right now.I went to the bathroom, grabbed a clean towel, wet it with warm water, and returned. Gently, I wiped her face and mouth first, then cleaned my own chest.“You’re okay, baby,” I said softly, even though she probably couldn’t hear me properly. “Just sleep.”She murmured “sorry” a few more times, her eyes fluttering but never quite focusing. Eventually, she gave up fighting it. Her body relaxed completely, and she curled into the pillow with a small, tired sigh.She was out cold.I changed the soiled part of the sheet

    DIESEL POV“What the fuck are you looking for now??” Hawk growled from behind me again.“Told you not to follow me. You should have stayed with Raven. So shut the fuck up and breathe till I’m done,” I said without turning around. I yanked open another drawer in Daisy’s old apartment, rifling through old papers and junk like my life depended on it.Her father’s photo. That was what I needed.If the coward was still alive, he couldn’t hide forever. He needed to fix what he’d ruined in his daughter — the fear, the debt, the years of being treated like nothing. I wasn’t sure yet if I’d put a bullet in him or force him to face her, but I needed to see his face first. I needed something to go on.“You should be somewhere here,” I muttered, eyes scanning the room again.Suddenly my eyes landed on a small, faded photo album tucked at the back of the drawer.I pulled it out and flipped it open.The first picture stopped me cold.Daisy as a little girl, smiling wide with a birthday cake in fron

    DIESEL POV“Wife,” I said. Flat.“Yeah,” Donald said, while a long exhale came through the speaker—cigarette smoke being released slow, deliberate, like he was savoring the moment. I could picture him leaning back in a leather chair.“What the hell are you saying?” I growled.He let out a soft laug

    DIESEL POV“If my presence is going to cause any trouble... you can allow me to leave.”“Leave.”The word rang in my head as the door lock clicked. I stood there and inhaled a long breath before slamming the door shut. I looked back at the wood, unable to shake the image of her. Even the night we m
