บททั้งหมดของ Daddy, am so wet : บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

ARIA POV“They cannot take you.”My father’s words echoed inside my head as Monica dragged me toward the basement stairs.Everything felt unreal.The gunshots.The screaming.The strange men inside the house.My injured mother.None of it made sense anymore.“Move!” Monica whisper-shouted while pulling my wrist.Behind us, heavy footsteps thundered through the mansion upstairs.Furniture crashed loudly.Glass shattered.Men shouted over each other aggressively.“They’re downstairs!”“Check every room!”My breathing became uneven as Monica pulled me deeper into the basement.The cold air down there wrapped around my skin immediately.The place looked nothing like a normal storage basement.Dim lights flickered above us, revealing old shelves, metal cabinets, and several locked doors stretching across the underground hallway.“What the hell…” Monica whispered.I slowly looked around in shock.There were security cameras mounted on the walls.Computer monitors.Stacks of files.And pictu

ARIA POV“I’m your mother.”The words echoed endlessly inside my head.No.No, that was impossible.I slowly stepped backward away from Vivian while clutching the photograph tightly in my shaking hands.“My mother is right there,” I whispered, pointing toward Elena.Vivian’s eyes softened slightly.“Elena raised you,” she replied quietly. “But she was never the woman who gave birth to you.”My chest tightened painfully.I looked toward Elena desperately, hoping she would deny it.But she couldn’t even meet my eyes.That silence shattered something inside me.“You lied to me?” My voice cracked.Tears streamed down Elena’s cheeks instantly.“Aria, please—”“You lied to me my entire life?!”Monica stayed frozen beside me, too shocked to speak.David suddenly stepped forward.“This isn’t the way she should have found out.”Vivian laughed softly.“Oh please, David. There was never going to be a gentle way.”I stared at all of them in horror.Every person I trusted had been hiding something

ARIA POV“The girl belongs to us.”The words echoed through the underground garage like a death sentence.David immediately stepped further in front of me, shielding me with his body while keeping the gun aimed toward the dark tunnel entrance.“No one’s taking her,” he said coldly.A soft chuckle echoed back.Then a man slowly emerged from the shadows.Tall.Broad shoulders.Black suit.Black gloves.And eyes so dark they almost looked empty.Two more armed men followed behind him.Monica grabbed my hand tightly beside me.“Please tell me this family has some normal problems too,” she whispered shakily.Nobody answered.The stranger’s gaze landed directly on me.And for some reason…He smiled.Not warmly.Not kindly.Possessively.“You look exactly like your father,” he murmured.A cold chill slid down my spine.Vivian stepped slightly forward.“Leon.”So his name was Leon.Leon’s eyes shifted briefly toward Vivian before returning to me again.“You should have brought her to us years

ARIA POV“David!”Rain poured heavily over my body as I stumbled toward him through the mud.My knees hit the wet ground hard beside him.“David… wake up.”No response.Fear wrapped tightly around my chest.Blood mixed with rainwater beneath him while his dark shirt clung tightly to his muscular body. Even unconscious, he still looked dangerously handsome, his wet hair falling across his forehead while his lips parted slightly from uneven breathing.My hands trembled as I touched his face gently.Warm.Thank God.He was alive.“Monica!” I shouted desperately. “Help me!”A groan sounded behind me before Monica crawled out from the damaged SUV looking completely disoriented.“Oh my God…” she whispered after spotting David.Vivian appeared moments later from the driver’s side with blood running down one side of her temple.Unlike the rest of us, she still looked strangely composed.“We need to move,” she said immediately.“He’s unconscious!” I snapped.“And Leon’s men will be here soon.”

ARIA POVThe voices kept getting closer.Branches snapped loudly through the dark forest while flashlights moved between the trees.“They couldn’t have gone far!”“Search the river!”My heartbeat pounded violently against my chest.David remained crouched beside me behind the damaged SUV, one arm still tightly wrapped around my waist while the other gripped the gun firmly.The closeness between us felt suffocating now.Not because I wanted him farther away.But because part of me wanted him even closer.And that thought alone scared me.Rain continued pouring heavily around us, soaking both our bodies completely. My thin top clung tightly against my skin while David’s half-open shirt exposed more of his chest with every movement.His breathing brushed softly against my forehead.Warm despite the cold rain.“Stay quiet,” he whispered near my ear.The low roughness in his voice sent heat rushing through me instantly.I hated how easily he affected me.A flashlight suddenly swept dangero
