Chapter One

Daisy. “No,” I said, swallowing down nothing. My hand shook beside me as I stared into the eye of the man I feared—but not today. I wasn’t going to do what he asked today because I was done being a toy. The smile on his face vanished, replaced by the scowl I had grown used to. “What did you say?” he asked, but I couldn’t bring myself to repeat what I had just said. Damn it! Why must I cower before him? I should say something. I promised myself I wasn’t going to let him control my life again, so what the hell was I doing? “I thought as much,” he smirked, relaxing back in his chair. His massive frame filled the chair, making the tiny object squeak in protest. At times, I wondered how such a tiny object could carry such weight. My uncle was a large man—this wasn’t an insult; it was simply a fact. He knew it, and everyone around him knew it was a liability. I bet he wouldn’t be able to run when trouble came knocking at his door. “You will get dressed, act like you want this, and

Chapter Two

Daisy. Nightmares have become a constant part of my nights, which is why I love spending my evenings elsewhere—somewhere I can stay awake, knowing no one is going to come for me. I have been in hiding for so long, yet that night continues to haunt me. I’ve done everything possible to help me forget that day, but the blood and those eyes—those lifeless eyes staring right into mine—are memories I can't easily erase. I’ve been running and hiding for so long that sometimes I can’t help but wonder how much longer I can keep this up before they find me. With a tired sigh, I turned on the faucet, washed my face, and then grabbed a towel to dry off. I pulled my hair into a messy bun before going through my morning routine as usual. The sound of someone knocking hard on my door pulled me from my thoughts, and I stepped out of the bathroom. I walked to the door and opened it without asking who it was; there was no need. I already knew who was standing there and why she was here. Just like

Chapter Three

Adriano.They say that happy days are the most memorable, but that statement is completely and frustratingly false. I don't have a single happy memory of my parents; all I can recall is my mother begging and struggling to escape from the monster, while my father lay in a pool of blood in his office with the knife used to kill him beside him.That is the only thing I remember.I would never forget the day my whole world shattered—the day I lost everything good in my life, the day my world became nothing but shades of grey and black. In my world, there are no colors. The only thing keeping me from doing the inevitable is my brother.I’ve thought about it over and over again, wondering why I was still here. Why was I sitting back and letting the people who hurt my family walk freely on the surface of the earth? There are a lot of things I would do, and waiting isn’t one of them.“Are you not going to talk about it?” I dragged slowly from my cigar before turning to look at the person besi

Chapter Four

Daisy.My love for children came naturally to me after being treated so badly while growing up. I knew I wanted to be someone who helps babies. While I may not be able to support them financially, I take great pride in helping them get better—to me, a healthy child is a happy child. Seeing a sick baby come into my ward and leaving happy and healthy has always been my top priority.I have genuinely come to love the center where I work—my first week of being here, I'd thought I had lost everything, but now I'm glad I stayed and every day I pray that I won’t have any reason to run away again. I had to escape from the last hospital where I was doing my residency after spotting one of my uncle’s associates. It’s better to leave early than to have regrets later. When I arrived at this place, I thought I wouldn’t be able to complete my residency or get my license. Thankfully, I met a wonderful lady who showed me that anything is possible if you believe.Our meeting was quite strange; I was o

Chapter Four

Daisy.It was almost ten when I finished my rounds at work. Mariana was long gone (she leaves exactly at seven), so I spent most of the day alone. I grabbed my handbag and hurried to leave the center. There were two reasons for my rush: first, I was late, and second, I was trying to escape from someone. Thankfully, I hadn’t bumped into him during my hours at work—a first, as he always finds a way for us to encounter each other.Before I stepped out, I checked my table one last time to ensure I wasn’t forgetting anything. After confirming I had everything, I walked out of the office and looked around, letting out a breath of relief when I didn’t see the man who had been stalking me anywhere. I rushed toward the entrance, almost excited about leaving without 'him' bothering me when I heard someone call my name.I froze but didn’t turn around; I knew the voice all too well, and it belonged to the same person I was trying to avoid.What should I do? I thought, glancing at the entrance doo
