Semua Bab Falling for my Billionaire Crush: Bab 71 - Bab 80

DaisyI wish I could say the kiss changed something. I wish I could say that when my lips met Liam’s, something in me lit up, maybe some spark of passion or love but it didn’t. Atleast not in the way it was supposed to.The kiss was soft, gentle and thoughtful… exactly everything that Liam is and I really wanted to feel that spark but the moment I kissed him, I had my answer. But still, I didn’t pull away because a part of me really wanted it to be enough. I needed it to be enough but when he held me afterward, smiling like I had just given him the world, I felt a quiet sadness growing in my chest. A heavy, aching emptiness I couldn’t shake. Th truth is that that kiss wasn’t confirmation of love, it was confirmation of absence.I didn’t love Liam… not like the way he does or wants me to.I stood there behind the door the house for a few seconds after he drove off, staring at nothing, fingers still pressed to my lips. I tried to tell myself it was just nerves, or the pressure, or maybe

DaisyI stood there like an idiot and it wasn’t even because I didn’t know what to do. I knew exactly what I wanted to do, and I hated myself for wanting it so much.Tony’s car disappeared down the road, and I didn’t move a step. I didn’t even to shut the door. I just stood there barefoot on the threshold, heart pounding, fingers closed tightly around the access card he’d pressed into my palm. “Room 1216.” I muttered under my breath while tracing the numbers on the card. I had just three hours to either go to him or let him go for good.The door creaked a little in the wind, and I finally pulled it shut behind me, leaning against it as if that would somehow hold me together. But the moment it clicked shut, I felt the ache blooming in my chest like a bruise I couldn’t rub out. The kind that sinks deep into bone and memory.God. Tony…It wasn’t fair how one man could make everything feel so complicated and yet so simple at the same time. I hated him for showing up. I hated him for not

DaisyThe ride back home was quiet. I had my head leaned against the window, my mind looping through everything Tony and I said and didn’t say. The taste of his kiss was still on my lips, the echo of his voice, his hands, the feel of being wanted again... it all lingered like a shadow I didn’t want to leave behind.My phone buzzed in my coat pocket, interrupting the trance. I already knew who it was before I even looked.Liam’s face lit up my screen and I hesitated a second before answering.“Hey,” I said softly, trying to sound composed, like I hadn’t just come from Tony’s hotel bed.“Hey beautiful, how are you this morning?” Liam’s voice came through, warm and gentle.“I’m good, and you?” I asked and I heard him chuckle.“Well I was good before the call but now that I heard your voice, I feel so great. Thanks for a beautiful night yesterday, I can’t even start to describe how I feel and still feel.” He let out while I smiled softly.“It’s okay, I had a nice time too.” I replied.“So

Daisy Liam’s parent no longer in the living room and I was so grateful for that. I knew I had tried so hard to be quiet but a part of me still felt like they must have heard me and I didn’t even know how to face them after that. Liam ordered my ride and it arrived in no time. We shared a quick hug and I hopped into the car while the driver zoomed off immediately.I sat curled up against the door, staring out the window, watching the streets pass in silence. My body felt sore from everything that had happened today and the emotional weight pressed down on my chest. I kept thinking of Tony and Liam, and the mess I’d tangled myself in. I felt like crying but my eyes wouldn’t oblige my wish. They were so dry and it was like my mind was too overwhelmed to feel anything else and it just went silent.“When did you become this girl, Dee?” I thought to myself.I can’t even believe that I had sec with Tony just this morning, got in a secret relationship with him and then went right ahead and

DaisyI don’t know if it was because I finally found who was the blackmailer was or because I was really tired, but I slept really well. I didn’t even wake up until it was almost noon and it was even my dad who woke me. I was pulled out of my sweet dream by his knocks. “I’m coming,” I let out as I groaned out of the bed.“Good morning sweetheart,” he said once I opened the door. He had a bright smile on and I was immediately infected too.“Morning dad,” I replied with a bright smile. “What are you doing in my room so early in the morning?” I asked while he chuckled and entered. I closed the door and followed him. “If this is early in the morning, what would you then call it when its noon?” He teased and I laughed at first before I got it.“Ohh you mean it’s not…” I replied and then went for my phone. My eyes lit up once I saw the time. I think he got it too then because he genuinely thought I was playing around. He looked at me with questioning eyes and I just smiled.“How are you?
