The moon lit the dark room in which Daisy woke up on a bed. She panicks instantly and climbs down
from it.
"Daisy" calls a voice from behind her. She turns to see someone seated in the dark corner of the room.
"Come here," says the voice ,and Daisy crawls to the person. She kneels in front of him, waiting to see who this person was. 
A table lamp beside his chair lights up and now Daisy could see Magnus looking at her.

"I am a very reputed lawyer and the reason I am good at my job is that I can see through a person. I can easily tell if the person is lying. One thing you need to know about me is that I don't like lies. Now, I can see you are not a liar, so start telling me the truth about you and why you are in my house" says Magnus.
"Penny" whispers Daisy.
Magnus leans forward, moves his hand behind her neck, and pulls her closer.
"Why Penny? What could a 4yr old give you?" Asks Magnus.
"Reason to live," says Daisy with tears in her eyes.
"Tell me everything," says Magnus and wipes a tear off her cheek.

Flashback.

Daisy was an orphan who jumped from one foster home to another. When she turned 18, she started working for her living. She rented a small apartment for herself and worked as a fashion consultant at a large fashion house.

Like every other day, Daisy was in the store when she happened to look outside the huge glass door. She was confused about what was happening. She stood in her place looking at a handsome man who was staring at her from the other side of the glass door. He was not moving his gaze from her or walking away. Daisy's heartbeat raised seeing the man. She didn't know why but she was scared.

To her horror, the man finally walked, but he walked towards her. He stood right in front of her and says "it's rude to stare at someone so intensely"
"Huh?" Says Daisy.
"Stop staring at me. I feel violated" says the man.
Daisy was confused. Wasn't he staring at me? She thought.

"What's going on?" Asks the store manager.
"None of your business. I was buying some stuff she was selling. Fuck off" says the man.
"Sir, I am the manager here. If you are buying something, you are welcome here. If not, I request you to leave" says the manager.
"Fine. What do you sell here?" Says the man and walks away and picks up a blouse.
"I don't think this will fit me," says the man and hears a melodious laugh. Daisy's laughed.
"That's not for men," says Daisy.
"Then?" Asks the man.
"You can buy that for your mom, sister, girlfriend, or wife" suggests Daisy.
"I don't think my wife will like it if I buy this for my girlfriend. Oh wait, I have neither" laughs the man.

Daisy was laughing out loud but stops when he looks at her and says "how about this. I'll buy anything that touches your body"
"What?" Asks the manager.
"You dumb or deaf. I said I'll buy everything that she wears. I can buy every piece of cloth in this store that she wears and shows it to me" says the man.
"The dresses here are very expensive," says Daisy.
"They will be priceless if you wear them," says the man and rubs his thumb on her name tag over her boob, and asks "what's your name, Daisy?"
"Daisy," says Daisy looking into his eyes.
"Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do
I'm half crazy all for the love of you" sings the man and introduces himself as "I am Raf. You should call me Raffy. It's cute"
Daisy blushes from the man's words.
