Chapter 32 {Swept}

Alisha couldn't believe how good she felt with Daisy, and now Daisy had just dumped her, leaving her feeling hurt.

Alisha broke the hug with Daisy and said with a sad voice, "I don't want to go, Daisy Aunty, please."

Daisy felt bad but knew better than to make her son angrier.

"He has a big office, and you can find new things there, Alisha," Daisy said.

Alice was getting irritated by this talk. He didn't want to bear it anymore. They were getting on his nerves.

"How about just stop talking, and you get ready, Angel," he said.

Alisha knew nobody was going to help her. She was all in a mess, and she knew even Daisy wouldn't help her, so she better not ruin things any further.

Alisha nodded her head and threw an angry look at Alice, which made his lips curve into a smirk.

“You know I can dig your eyes out for that so-called look you're giving me," he said.

Alisha diverted her eyes and thought, "He can even make me blind, such a cruel man."

Daisy helped her to stand and bathe. After helping her bathe, she made her wear the dress that Alice had prepared for Alisha. A pink hoodie with loose pants gave an impressive look to her tiny figure, and she looked cute in it.

Daisy changed Alisha's bandages and then combed her hair, "Alisha, keep in your head not to make him angry again. It won't end well for you. Better not think about making him angry, especially in his office. Nobody will do anything to save you there."

Alisha felt scared hearing Daisy's words. "Aunty, then why are you sending me if this can happen? Please don't send me anywhere. I don't want to go anywhere."

"Alisha, you can do this. Just don't make him angry, and everything will be fine. You don't have to be scared at all because he won't raise his finger on you if you behave the way he wants," Daisy tried to cheer her up.

"How can I behave as he wants? Isn't behaviour dependent on the person's mind? Why do I have to behave as he wants?," Alisha asked.

Daisy knew Alisha was right, but she couldn't make her understand how Alice is.

She couldn't make her understand that Alice was someone who didn't care about anything other than his things. He scared the people he wanted to mould in his ways.

"Aunty, tell me. Why are you sending me with that bad guy? You know Mother Mary would never let this happen, but here you are sending me away," Alisha asked.

Daisy felt bad as she knew how selfish she was behaving by sending Alisha with Alice, but she couldn't do anything. No matter what, she had to put her son first in every way necessary.

Daisy made her hair into two pigtails, she tried to lighten up conversation, "You're looking cute, Alisha."

Alice came in and, seeing Alisha in pigtails, started laughing. "What is this?"

Alisha pouted her lips, hearing him laugh. "Why are you making fun of me?"

"Your hair looks funny, and you're asking why I'm laughing," Alice said.

Alisha, with her cute, innocent voice, said, "Daisy Aunty, you told me I'm looking cute, but he is laughing at me. Why?"

Daisy threw a look at Alice, showing that he needed to keep his laughter and mouth in control.

"What? See, I didn't say she's not looking cute. It's just that she looks funny too. I'm not at fault at least," Alice raised his hands.

"Aunty, see, he's still calling me funny when I'm not looking funny at all," Alisha said.

Daisy, with her eyes throwing glares at Alice, said, "You're not looking any less than a clown, too. We said nothing about it, like you are doing. Better keep your mouth shut."

"Let's go, you already made me late," Alice said.

"I didn't. It's you who immediately told me you want me to come with you," Alisha answered.

"Okay, I did it, but now let's go because I don't want to be late. I have important meetings to attend," Alice said.

"What about your breakfast? You can't go without having breakfast. It's not good at all. I can't send Alisha hungry. She has to take her medicines too," Daisy said before Alice could say anything further.

"I know, Mom. You don't have to stress out because I need to give her the medicines, and we are going to eat on our way," Alice said.

Before Daisy could say anything further, Alice went toward Alisha and carried her in his arms, knowing she couldn't walk.

While walking out of the house, Alice whispered to Alisha, "You're really going to enjoy your stay with me now. Nobody is going to protect you."

Alisha's eyes widened. She couldn't imagine what he was planning, but the way he was speaking showed that something was not right at all, and it was scaring her.

He sat inside the car with Alisha on his lap, and the driver started the car. They headed off from there. Being all stressed, Alisha didn't know what was going to happen to her.
