Angella’s words lingered long after she stepped away.

Daniella didn’t move immediately. She stood there, the files still in her hands, her mind replaying the tone, the warning, the quiet confidence in Angela’s voice. It wasn’t just a threat. It was something deeper. Something calculated.

And that was what unsettled her.

Across the room, Angela paused just before reaching the door. For a brief second, the faintest smile touched her lips subtle, knowing, almost satisfied.

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    Punishment and Secret

    Daniella stepped into Christian’s master bedroom, heart still racing from the intense encounter in the alcove. Her legs felt weak, her core still throbbing with unfulfilled need. She closed the door behind her and moved to the walk-in closet.She chose the black lingerie she knew would drive him wild — a sheer lace bodysuit that clung to every curve like a second skin. The delicate straps framed her full breasts, the cups barely containing them, pushing them up invitingly. The lace hugged her narrow waist before flaring over her wide, fat ass, the material stretching taut across the generous, rounded cheeks. It rode high on her hips, the crotchless design leaving her pussy exposed. The garter straps connected to sheer stockings that accentuated her long, toned legs. Every inch of the lingerie hugged her perfect hourglass figure — big breasts, tiny waist, thick thighs, and that juicy, heart-shaped ass that jiggled slightly with every movement.She dimmed the main lights and s

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    Possessive Shadows

    Daniella stepped out of the board meeting with her phone pressed to her ear, the sound of Christian’s deep voice filling her senses as she walked back toward her office.“…so tell me what you want me to get for you,” he said casually, the hint of a smile in his tone. “I’m heading back soon.”She smiled despite herself, pushing open her office door. “Just my usual coffee. And maybe that protein bar you like — the one with the dark chocolate.”Christian chuckled softly. “Already got it. Anything else, baby?”She stepped inside and froze.A stunning bouquet of deep red roses — her absolute favorite — sat prominently on her desk, wrapped elegantly with a small card.Her heart skipped. “Oh… you got me my favorite flowers,” she said warmly into the phone, genuinely touched for a second. “They’re beautiful.”There was a short pause on the other end.“What flowers?” Christian asked, voice shifting.Daniella’s eyes dropped to the card. It simply read: From

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    The Price of Desire

    The warm water in the large marble tub lapped gently against their bodies. Steam curled around them, thick and intimate, turning the bathroom into a private world. Christian held Daniella close from behind, her back pressed against his solid chest. His hands moved with slow, deliberate reverence, as if he were worshipping every inch of her.He started at her shoulders, massaging the tension away with strong, soapy fingers. Then his hands slid lower, cupping her full breasts. His thumbs brushed over her sensitive nipples already hardened from the cool air and his touch circling them slowly, teasingly. Daniella’s breath hitched, a soft whimper escaping her lips as electricity shot straight between her legs.Christian’s voice was a low, hungry growl against her ear. “You’re so responsive for me.”One of his hands trailed down her stomach, over the curve of her hips, and dipped between her thighs. He parted her folds with two thick fingers, finding her slick and ready. He r

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    Melting in the enemy’s Arms

    Later that evening, the mansion was quiet. The kind of heavy silence that pressed against the walls and made every footstep echo. Daniella moved through the hallway with careful steps, one hand pressed lightly against her lower abdomen where the dull, persistent ache refused to fade completely. She had changed into a simple silk robe after another attempt to clean herself up, but the pain still lingered like a secret she was determined to bury.She needed her favorite blouse — the cream one with the subtle embroidery. She had left it in Christian’s room days ago, and after the chaos of the day, she didn’t want to ask anyone for help. She just wanted to grab it and disappear back into her own space.The door to Christian’s master bedroom was slightly ajar. She pushed it open quietly and stepped inside.The room smelled like him — warm cedar, crisp cologne, and that unmistakable masculine scent that always made her body react before her mind could catch up. She moved towar

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    Fragments of a broken weapon

    Daniella lay on the cold bathroom floor for what felt like hours, the pain a relentless fire that slowly ebbed into a dull, throbbing ache. Blood soaked her clothes and the tiles beneath her. Every breath hurt. Every shift sent fresh waves of agony through her body. But she was alive. The fetus was gone—dragged out in a desperate, violent act of self-destruction.Christian killed my father. He deserves nothing from me. Not a child. Not a future.The thought anchored her through the haze. Revenge was still her purpose. Love was the lie she had almost fallen into. This… this was necessary. A reset.She dragged herself up using the sink, legs shaking, vision swimming. The mirror reflected a stranger: pale face, haunted eyes, hair matted with sweat and blood. She looked exactly like the broken girl who had watched her father die thirteen years ago.“Good,” she whispered to her reflection. “Remember who you are.”With mechanical precision, Daniella cleaned the worst o

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    The Secret

    Daniella stared at Christian’s mother as though the woman had suddenly lost her mind.For several seconds, neither of them spoke.The bathroom remained silent except for the faint sound of running water dripping from the sink faucet. The fluorescent lights overhead cast a pale glow across the room, making Daniella look even more exhausted than she already felt. Her face was slightly flushed, her hair was no longer as neat as it had been earlier, and there were dark shadows beneath her eyes that spoke of days filled with stress, secrets, and sleepless nights.Then she laughed.Not because anything was funny.Because the suggestion itself sounded ridiculous.“Pregnant?” she repeated. “That’s impossible.”Christian’s mother didn’t laugh with her.If anything, her expression became even more serious.The older woman folded her arms across her chest and continued studying her carefully. She had lived long enough to recognize certain signs. The dizzines

    Christian stood in the middle of his room, his chest rising and falling slowly as he stared blankly at nothing. The blood dripping off his hands to the floor reflected the chaos inside him, his hand still bleeding slightly from the force he had used earlier.“Daniella?” He whispered slowly, his mi

    The drive back home was quiet.Too quiet.Christian sat at the back of the car, his elbow resting against the window while his fingers tapped slowly against his thigh. His face was calm, but his mind… his mind was anything but.The words keep replaying in his head, why on earth was Mr

    Morning came faster than ever, Christian growled his way out of bed as he headed straight to the bathroom to have a quick shower. His lips were curved into a beautiful smile, today he was going to be having a meeting with Mr Thompson, his stomach twitched a bit, some part of the thought got him a

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    Crossed Lines

    “Aharhhhhhh!!!!”Daniella’s scream tore through the room.She jumped off the bed immediately, her heart slamming violently against her chest as her eyes darted around the space. This wasn’t her room, her eyes popped out as she stared hard at Christian whose face was boiling with anger.
