In a world that had crumbled around her, a young girl named Daisy stood at the precipice of despair. At only nine years old, her once vibrant life was shattered, leaving her homeless and adrift. With no family to turn to and no money in her pockets, she was forced into the unforgiving streets. To survive, Daisy became a scavenger, rummaging through refuse and discarded items, her small hands sifting through trash in search of food and anything of value that might offer a glimmer of hope. One fateful night, as dark clouds loomed overhead, rain began to fall in torrential sheets. The downpour transformed the streets into rivers, and the air was filled with the sounds of thunder, drowning out the chaos of the world around her. Daisy trudged through the storm, her clothes clinging to her thin frame and her hair plastered to her forehead. The biting cold seeped into her skin, making her shiver uncontrollably. Desperate for shelter, she wandered aimlessly until her frail body could take no more. Overcome with exhaustion and drenched to the bone, Daisy collapsed onto the unforgiving asphalt, gasping for breath. The midnight hour felt heavy and lonely as if the world had forgotten her existence. In that moment of despair, a black roller car glided silently to a stop nearby. Its sleek exterior glistened in the dim light, a stark contrast to the grimy surroundings. The door opened, and out stepped Damond, a man of striking presence, despite his blindness. He was a CEO, known for his cold arrogance and sharp business acumen. Even without sight, his keen instincts and commanding aura drew attention. Fate intertwined their paths as Damond, initially unmoved by the world around him, sensed a disturbance when he heard the soft thud of Daisy's fragile form hitting the ground. Compelled by an unfamiliar urge, he approached the girl lying in the rain, not knowing that this encounter would lead to an unexpected journey for both of them. To uncover the depths of their connection and what lies ahead, follow the unfolding chapters of their intertwined lives, marked by struggle, resilience, and the glimmer of hope that emerges in the darkest times.
Chapter 1 Meeting
**Chapter 1**
Daisy is 19 years old and an orphan living in a homeless shelter. During the day, she collects bottles to feed herself, and when night falls, she has no choice but to sleep wherever she can find a spot. She is extremely poor and cannot afford to rent even a small apartment or buy decent food. Despite her circumstances, she is thin and has a good-looking figure that could drive someone wild. However, everything changed on this fateful night when heavy rain was pouring down like cats and dogs. The rain disturbed her sleep, causing her to wake up and start running, although she had no idea where she was heading. By 11 PM, it was already dark. Eventually, she stopped on the road, feeling weak and exhausted. Suddenly, she collapsed.
A black luxury car was driving by, the only one on the road. It came to a stop. Inside, a man named Damond Chris, the blind CEO of tTech, asked his assistant, Moore, "Sir, is that a person lying lifeless on the road?" Moore replied, "I'll go check, sir." He got out of the car and was startled to see a girl lying on the ground. Quickly, he reported back to his boss, "It's a girl there." Damond thought for a moment before responding, "Go get her." Moore said, "Yes, yes, sir."
Daisy was carefully helped into the car, but she had fainted. The next morning, she opened her eyes to find herself lying in a king-sized bed and felt horrified. She quickly jumped off the bed and looked around the room, amazed by the lavish surroundings. Reality hit her, and she started crying.
**DAISY**
"How did I end up in a hotel like this? I don't have any money! I was sure I would end up in jail one day, even if I spent ten years collecting bottles. I couldn't afford the room." She paused, trying to collect her thoughts and waited. "I never booked any room for myself, let alone arrived here barefoot. I remember lying on the road. Now I know that my embarrassing rainy day has come because the troubles from my past are finally catching up to me. I'm done for." Her tears flowed as she sank into despairJust then, she heard a voice. "You're awake." Looking up, she was taken aback by the commanding presence of the man in the room. Though his voice carried a certain arrogance, something was striking about him-his demeanor was otherworldly as if he had stepped out of a storybook like an animated character . "Are you there?" he asked, his tone brusque, snapping her back to the present."Wait! Can he not see me? Am I a ghost, or is he blind?"
"Good morning, sir," she said, but received no response. As she began to narrate her story, she was abruptly cut off by him.
**Flashback: DAISY'S PAST**
"I was a happy child, the youngest in my family. My parents had three children: the eldest was a girl named Luna, the second was a boy named Kelvin, and I was the youngest. We were a blessed and happy family, deeply loving one another. We weren't rich, but we weren't poor either; we were just an average family. We ate what we liked, wore nice clothes, and occasionally traveled to nearby towns without spending a fortune. Being the youngest, I was spoiled with care and love from my older siblings. I had meals filled with love, peaceful nights' sleep, and playtime filled with joy. Tragedy, bad accidents, and world collapse were terms that didn't exist in my vocabulary - that was, until one fateful day during the holidays. My dad came home with a surprise, announcing that we were going on a trip. We all began packing with excitement."
