Chapter 104:
Caiden hitting her wasn’t new; she never cried.
But now, as Cedric held her close, his voice trembling more than hers, whispering that she didn’t need to be
afraid, her eyes began to fill.
It felt like walking alone for ages down a dark, desolate path. She could pretend it didn’t hurt, and saying it aloud
seemed unnecessary.
Yet, the moment someone stood up for her, the floodgates opened, and the emotions she'd buried for so long
spilled out uncontrollably.
Cedric’s heart broke into pieces. The woman he had cherished for so many years cried quietly against his
shoulder. His chest tightened with so much pain that it felt like he couldn't breathe.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe night gradually settled in.
Daniela stared into the darkened sky and murmured, “Cedric, from this moment on, | no longer have a father.”
Cedric’s heart clenched with pain.
Daniela rested against his shoulder, her exhaustion finally overcoming her as she drifted into a deep sleep.
Cedric carefully lifted her into the office’s lounge. Outside, Lillian, sensing the quiet that had settled in, hesitated
before quietly peeking through the door.
Her voice was soft and cautious as she asked, “Is she doing any better?”
Cedric gently tucked a blanket around Daniela before quietly stepping out of the room.

As soon as they were outside the office, Lillian couldn't contain her anger any longer and exploded in the
hallway.
“Ill kill Caiden! I'll make him pay! What kind of monster does that? He's her father! How could he hurt her like
that? And now these rumors online, saying she’s not Caiden’s daughter? Otherwise, why would he treat her like
this? | want answers too, damn it!”
As she trailed behind Cedric, she couldn't hold back her frustration and shot him a barrage of questions.
“Where are you going?”
With a grim look, Cedric didn’t respond and made his way upstairs. Once there, he asked Josie for sice
cubes, then wrapped them carefully in a towel before heading back downstairs.
Lillian slowly picked up on the dangerous vibe coming from Cedric. It hit her in that moment. While her words
about killing Caiden were just heated talk, Cedric was a man of quiet action.
He stepped into Daniela’s lounge, carefully pressing the ice against her swollen cheek.
His brow tightened in sympathy, as though he were the one who had been hurt.
Lillian stood there, about to speak when the secretary quietly entered the room.
He took a quick look at Daniela, who was asleep, before turning his attention to Lillian.

Lillian furrowed her brow in response. What could that bastard possibly want to talk about now, of all times? Was
he trying to take advantage of Daniela’s vulnerability?
Seething, Lillian turned and snapped, “Did he say what he wants?” The secretary noticed Cedric’s stern
expression and hesitated, unsure if speaking would provoke a harsh glare from him.
He paused, trying to gather his thoughts.
