HE LOST HIS DAUGHTER ONCE, NOW HE’S A RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE

GET OUT OF MY CAR

“You planned all of this, didn’t you?” Lyra snapped furiously, her voice trembling with anger and disbelief. “You knew Jake and Leo were staying at the house. You knew how important today was for my business, so you used Maggie to drag me away from Leo’s party.”

Her eyes burned with disgust as she stared at Brandon.

“You told her to pretend to be sick because you couldn’t stand seeing me happy with someone else.” Her voice turned colder with every word. “You’re so pathetic that you’d even use your own daughter just to manipulate me.”

Brandon stared at Lyra in complete disbelief, his bloodshot eyes wide with shock and heartbreak.

For seven years, he had loved this woman with everything he had, but at that moment, as he looked into her cold eyes while their daughter struggled to breathe in his arms, a chilling realization settled deep inside his heart.

The woman standing in front of him was no longer the Lyra he thought he knew.

“She’s fighting for her life, Lyra,” Brandon said hoarsely, his voice trembling with desperation as he held Maggie more tightly afraid of losing her if he loosened the grip. “Look at her skin. Look at her lips. Look at the way she’s struggling just to breathe. Do you honestly think a six-year-old little girl could fake something like this?”

But Lyra refused to believe him.

“Stop lying to me, Brandon!” Lyra screamed at him, her face twisted with anger and disgust. “I’m sick of your manipulation and your lies!”

Without another word, she violently pulled the SUV over to the side of the highway.

The tires screeched against the asphalt as the vehicle came to a sudden stop, then Lyra pressed the button to open the door and pointed outside with trembling fingers.

“Get out,” she ordered coldly. “Take Maggie and get out of my car.”

Her eyes burned with anger as tears gathered in them. “I’m going back to help someone who actually needs me, not a child pretending to be sick just to manipulate me.”

Brandon felt his blood run cold.

“Lyra…” he said quietly, his voice breaking as he tightened his hold on Maggie’s trembling body. “If you leave us here, Maggie won’t survive.”

His eyes locked desperately onto hers.

“If you drive away right now… you’ll never see your daughter again.”

But Lyra’s expression didn’t soften.

Instead, disgust filled her eyes as she looked at both of them.

“I don’t even want to look at either of you right now,” she said coldly. “I’m ashamed and disgusted by what you’ve done.”

Brandon’s eyes turned red as panic completely consumed him.

“Lyra… I’ll kneel if I have to. I’ll hold your legs and beg you,” he choked out desperately while clutching Maggie carefully. “Even if you don’t believe me, even if you hate me right now, just take us to the hospital first… please.”

“You can go wherever you want after this, Lyra,” Brandon begged her, his voice shaking with fear and exhaustion. “I won’t stop you anymore. I won’t stand in your way ever again… but right now, please…”

He tightened his arms around Maggie’s fragile body as tears welling up in his eyes.

“Please take us to the hospital first. We’re running out of time.”

His voice broke as he looked down at Maggie’s pale face.

“She’s the daughter you carried for nine months, Lyra… the little girl you fought so hard to bring into this world.” Tears streamed down Brandon’s face as his voice broke completely. “Can you really live with yourself if she dies like this? Do you truly have the heart to abandon your own daughter when she needs you the most?”

But instead of softening, Lyra’s expression turned even colder.

“Enough!” she screamed furiously. “Keep your disgusting manipulation to yourself and get out of my car right now before I drag both of you out myself!”
