Semua Bab Reborn: I want my billionaire back : Bab 11 - Bab 20

Louis sat across from Daisy, his gaze intent and unwavering. They had just finished dinner at his mansion, the soft glow of candlelight casting shadows around them. Louis leaned back, eyes meeting hers, a question clear on his face.“Move in with me, Daisy.”The request came softly, but there was an unmistakable intensity behind it. Daisy looked away, trying to gather her thoughts. Louis had never been one to voice his needs so openly, and hearing him say it now made her heart ache with both joy and uncertainty.She took a breath, her fingers tracing the edge of her napkin. “Louis, you know I want to… but I’m not ready, not yet.” Her voice was gentle, hoping he’d understand.Louis searched her face, his expression softening, though there was a trace of disappointment in his eyes. He reached across the table, placing his hand over hers. “Daisy, I can’t shake this feeling… like I’m going to lose you. I don’t want you out of my sight.”She squeezed his hand, offering a warm smile. “You w

The bathroom lights cast a soft glow over the room as steam rose from the bathtub. Louis knelt by the tub, his hands trembling as he gently lowered Daisy into the warm water. She was barely coherent, her head lolling against his chest as he whispered soothing words she likely couldn’t hear.“Daisy, I’m here. Stay with me,” Louis murmured, his voice laced with desperation.Her body was limp, her skin pale and damp with sweat. The drug was still in her system, and he felt utterly helpless. Every instinct screamed at him to fix this, to take away her pain, but all he could do was hold her in the water and hope it would help her flush out the poison.“You’re going to be okay,” he repeated, brushing wet strands of hair from her face. “I won’t let anything happen to you.”For the first time in years, Louis felt powerless. His world had always been under his control, yet here he was, unable to protect the woman he loved from the cruelty of others.Daisy stirred faintly, her lips parting to f

The morning sunlight streamed into Louis’s office as he reviewed the latest updates from his contacts in the underworld. The new developments had confirmed what he feared: the threats against Daisy were far from over. Her career success had painted a target on her back, and Natalie’s name was starting to surface more frequently, albeit in whispers.The quiet knock on his door pulled him from his thoughts. “Come in,” he called, setting the file aside.Liam entered, his expression serious. “You called?”Louis gestured for him to sit, pouring a glass of scotch for each of them. “We need to talk about Daisy,” he began.Liam frowned, taking the offered glass but not drinking. “What’s wrong now?”“Everything,” Louis said bluntly. “The threats are escalating. I have people looking into it, but I can’t do this alone. I need your help to keep her safe.”Liam leaned back in his chair, studying Louis. “What’s your plan?”“I’ve been reestablishing old connections,” Louis admitted, his tone grave.

The air was heavy with tension, though the lavish surroundings of the charity gala gave no hint of the danger lurking beneath. Louis stood by the grand window of the ballroom, his sharp eyes scanning the room as a sea of well-dressed guests mingled and laughed, oblivious to the storm brewing in his world.This event wasn’t just for show. Louis had orchestrated it to bring together some of the city’s most influential figures—businessmen, politicians, and those with ties to the underworld. It was a trap, meticulously set to flush out those targeting Daisy.Daisy arrived late, her radiant presence turning heads as she walked in wearing a sleek black gown that hugged her figure. Her confidence was magnetic, though Louis caught the flicker of unease in her eyes as she met his gaze. She felt out of place among the glittering crowd, but she’d come for Louis. He had asked her to be here, and she couldn’t refuse him.“Daisy,” Louis greeted her, his voice low and warm. “You look stunning.”“And

The calm after the storm was short-lived. Daisy’s days at the villa were marked by a tense silence. Natalie kept to herself, her smiles brittle, her laughter hollow. Daisy noticed the subtle ways Natalie avoided eye contact with Louis and Liam, her voice unusually careful. But more pressing were the moments when Daisy caught Natalie watching her, a flicker of something unspoken in her gaze.They had managed to save Natalie from Ricci but the entire operation went too easy. Easy but suspicious.Louis, meanwhile, was consumed with work. Or so he claimed. Daisy often found him in his study, the door closed and his voice low as he held endless phone calls. She knew better than to believe it was all business. The lines between his corporate empire and his shadowy Mafia dealings were blurring more with each passing day.For Liam, the change in Louis was palpable. His soon to be brother-in-law was colder, more ruthless in his decisions. Over shared drinks late one night, Liam voiced his conc
