Son
“I don’t think we’ll be able to find my daughter. What are we going to do now?” Mary, visibly stressed, asked from her seat in Daisy’s house.
That day, during their conversation, Mary eventually understood that Daisy simply wanted to help her, despite some initial blame.
Every parent loves their kids, but Mary could see that Daisy genuinely wanted to assist her.
So, she agreed, and they both exerted their best efforts to locate Priya.
Daisy inquired with everyone and visited all the places they could think of over the past two days, but to no avail.
Now, seated in Daisy’s house, both Mary and Daisy struggled to brainstorm, to no avail.
“I don’t know what to say. I’ve done my best, but nothing seems to be working. It seems like we won’t be able to find them unless Priyank himself shows up. It’s hard to predict his actions,” Daisy sighed, looking drained.
With no sleep for the past two days, both Mary and Daisy appeared fatigued and anxious.
“We can’t do anything. Who knows what your son did to my daughter. I think I should file a complaint,” Mary said, her eyes narrowing as she breathed heavily.
Now, she could only see one option for finding Priya: the police. If that didn’t work out, she didn’t know what would, because the situation seemed dire.
“I’m not going to say you shouldn’t, because you might think I’m trying to protect my son from punishment. But the truth is, it won’t help. No police force can do anything. Priyank is a top billionaire. I don’t even think escalating this will help you,” Daisy finished calmly.
She didn’t want her son in jail, but she knew his wealth held significant influence. Mary would only waste time going to the police.
Mary closed her eyes, agreeing with Daisy’s words. She remembered when Priya was first kidnapped, and Mary tried to file a complaint. Nobody helped her; they claimed they would, but in reality, nothing happened.
Mary had to take matters into her own hands to find Priya, but that had been easier than now.
Now, even Daisy didn’t know where Priyank was, making it seemingly impossible for Mary to locate him.
Mary’s frustration and helplessness overwhelmed her. Despite their efforts, the situation seemed to spiral out of control. Priya’s safety hung in the balance, and uncertainty gnawed at Mary’s heart.
As they sat in silence, the weight of the situation settled upon them like a heavy fog. Mary knew she had to remain strong for Priya’s sake, but the reality of their predicament weighed heavily on her shoulders.
Daisy, sensing Mary’s distress, reached out and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. “We’ll find a way, Mary. We have to,” she said softly, determination evident in her voice.
“How? If your son doesn’t show up, we’re at a loss. I doubt he’ll show himself. It’s been two days since he took my daughter. Who knows what he’s done to my innocent girl,” Mary said, tears welling in her eyes as she struggled to compose herself.
“I understand. But I can assure you, he won’t kill her,” Daisy said, feeling shame in offering such reassurance. “He has anger issues, and I can’t guarantee there won’t be physical harm, but he loves Priya. I’m certain he won’t harm her to the point of death.”
Daisy didn’t know how her words could provide any comfort to Mary, but in that moment, it felt like the best she could offer.
She knew Priyank was likely to harm Priya. His anger at her week-long absence was intense, and now that he had her in his grasp, nothing would stop him.
He’s completely obsessed with her, and there’s no way he’d inflict severe harm on her.
That trust she has in her son, no matter how twisted he is.
“And you think that’s a good thing? Last time, her feet were so injured because Priyank made Priya walk on broken glass. She told me how it happened right in front of your eyes,” Mary cried out, her frustration evident.
Daisy felt ashamed, knowing she didn’t help Priya that day. But she did it for Priya’s sake only.
Knowing that if she tried to intervene, Priyank would only hurt her more, she chose to remain silent.
Though she didn’t enjoy keeping quiet, she wasn’t like her son. She didn’t know where Priyank picked up these tendencies.
Sometimes, she felt scared about what her son was doing in the business world.
She did occasionally wonder if he was involved in illegal activities.
When she asked Priyank, he denied it. And she tried to investigate herself, but found nothing.
So she had to believe him. But still, it was all so over the top.
Mary’s anguish was palpable, and Daisy’s heart ached for her. She knew she had to find a solution, no matter how daunting the circumstances seemed.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Daisy, I understand you’re in a difficult position, but I can’t just sit here and wait. I have to do something,” Mary said, determination flashing in her eyes through the tears.
Daisy nodded, her own resolve strengthening. “I’ll do everything in my power to help you, Mary,” she promised, squeezing Mary’s shoulder reassuringly.
“I just want to find my daughter. I’m terrified for her. Priyank is… scary. I can’t believe he’s your son. Honestly, I don’t even know you, but you seem so different from him,” Mary confessed, fighting back tears.
Despite not knowing Daisy personally, Mary couldn’t ignore the effort Daisy had put in over the last two days to help, despite it being her own son who had taken Priya.
It was clear to Mary that Daisy and Priyank were polar opposites, and she couldn’t help but wonder how they were even related.
Throughout Mary’s outbursts, Daisy remained calm and collected, not once defending Priyank or stopping Mary from expressing her frustrations.
Daisy didn’t hesitate to support Mary, which only highlighted the vast difference between her and Priyank.
“I appreciate your understanding, but when it comes to Priyank… I’m at a loss for words. He’s my son, and he’s always been a good son, but I just can’t understand why he’s so fixated on Priya. It’s baffling to me as well.”
