Prologue
Daisy felt her head heavy as if boulder of weight was placed on her head. She let out a groan and tried to touch her head, massaging her temples would ease some pain but as soon as she felt her hands to be in restrains, her eyes shot opened wide as she stared at the golden crafted ceiling.
First instinct was it’s not her room. Her eyes looked around the room afraid. She was somewhere unknown on someone else’s bed. The room was so lavish and posh, screaming money. The walls were dark gray and black, giving an intimidating dark aura. There’s a large glass wall to the left and the sunset clearly says she didn’t even slept for the night but also for the whole damn day.
Last night memories rushed back with full force. “Why Namjoon? Why?” She let her tears fall. Why this has to happen to her?
She felt a cool air hitting her skin and that is when her eyes went wide and her breathing hitch. With quivering lips she looked down on her body to find herself only in her black undergarments. But this didn’t made her whole body shaking in fear but rather a large bandage starting from her abdomen to the side of her left hip and ending at her thigh.
She tried to sit abruptly but her restrains of rope didn’t let her. She moved her body and let out a whimper because of the pricking pain in the bandaged area.
She can vividly recall someone offering to help her at the bar when she was completely wasted. How can she be so careless? She trust him like a blind girl but she was barely in her senses at that time.
Why she’s in restrains? What that man wants from her. Her head and half of her body was aching badly. She was crying and barely able to think of anything at all.
She felt so scared, alone and vulnerable. The three things she hated the most.
The door creaked opened and Daisy’s eyes snapped towards the person only to be widened in fear.
Her chin quivered as large tears formed in her eyes. “N-no!” She stuttered in disbelief. The sheer fear she felt at that moment was indescribable.
His deep voice made terrifying chills to run down her body as she trembled in her place.
“Finally, you’re up Baby girl.”
Just started this and the tension is already gripping! The blend of thriller and emotional stakes pulls me in — I’m genuinely curious about Daisy’s situation and what’s really going on with the mysterious man who saved her. The pacing feels intense without being overwhelming, and the fear mixed with confusion in the opening hooked me right away. Definitely keeping this on my reading list!
I liked the way the prologue creates an immediate sense of vulnerability and danger. Daisy waking up without knowing exactly where she is or what happened to her builds tension from the start, while her memories gradually returning keeps the mystery alive. The ending works particularly well, leaving a sense of threat in the air and making you want to find out who that man really is.
Well, this seems like a rather interesting book
