Chapter 4 - The Silent Guardian
Six-year-old Daisy was a sweet, incredibly perceptive little girl with long blonde hair, always adorned with a light blue bow that her mother had tied for her.
While Gabriel and Bianca ignored Daisy, treating her like a background prop in their sinister play, Daisy was watching their every single move. Children see much more than adults give them credit for, and Daisy noticed the terrifying changes in her mother.
Daisy noticed that Mommy only started falling asleep during the day after the "mean nurse" handed her that special cup of tea. Daisy noticed that Daddy was angry when Mommy was awake, but smiled and laughed with Nurse Bianca when Mommy was crying in her bedroom.
Most importantly, Daisy noticed that her father and the mean lady were lying.
One evening, while Penelope was heavily sedated upstairs, Daisy sneaked out of her bedroom to get a glass of water. As she padded softly down the grand carpeted staircase in her bare feet, holding her beloved white stuffed plush rabbit tightly against her chest, she heard voices coming from her father's private study.
The heavy mahogany door was left slightly ajar. Daisy crouched down in the dark hallway, her heart pounding in her tiny chest as she peered through the crack.
She saw her father pouring a glass of whiskey, laughing cruelly. She saw Bianca, wearing the exact same sleeveless red gown she would later wear to court, sitting on his lap, kissing him passionately.
Daisy didn't understand all the big adult words they were using, but she understood the tone. She understood the malice. And she understood exactly what it meant when her father said he was going to "lock Mommy away forever and keep the money."
