Greer’s POV

The evening sun was beginning to set, casting a soft orange glow over the quiet neighborhood as I stepped out of my apartment building. For the first time in days, I decided to use some of the money Wells had left behind. Not all of it, just enough to buy proper groceries instead of surviving on instant noodles and coffee.

My fridge was embarrassingly empty, and I couldn’t keep pushing my body to the limit while trying to build a business. I slipped on a simple hoodie and jeans, gr

Good update. Indira needs not only a leash but a muzzle too! Thank goodness for Wells arriving when he did. Just loving this new confidence in Greer. Thank you for growing her character. Such a good read.

  • Step Daddy’s Naughty Girl    Chapter 95

    Greer’s POVIt was Friday night, and I was deep in an important video meeting with three of my new distributors from different towns. I had my laptop propped up on the small desk in the living room, wearing a loose silk pajama set, the only thing comfortable enough after a long day of packing orders. My hair was in a messy bun, and I was doing my best to look professional from the chest up.“We’re seeing strong demand for the hydrating serum in the southern region,” one of the distributors was saying. “If we can get consistent stock by next month—”A soft click sounded behind me. The front door opened. I didn’t even have time to turn before I felt him. Calder’s presence filled the room instantly. He closed the door quietly and walked up behind me without saying a word. His hands landed on my shoulders, warm and heavy. I stiffened. “Calder—” I whispered urgently, trying to shrug him off while keeping a professional smile on camera. “Not now. I’m in a meeting.” He ignored me completel

    Greer’s POVThe evening sun was beginning to set, casting a soft orange glow over the quiet neighborhood as I stepped out of my apartment building. For the first time in days, I decided to use some of the money Wells had left behind. Not all of it, just enough to buy proper groceries instead of surviving on instant noodles and coffee. My fridge was embarrassingly empty, and I couldn’t keep pushing my body to the limit while trying to build a business. I slipped on a simple hoodie and jeans, grabbed my tote bag, and walked the short distance to the nearby supermarket. The cool air inside the store felt refreshing after being cooped up for so long. I took my time, picking out fresh vegetables, fruits, some chicken, rice, and a few other essentials. It felt strangely empowering, buying food with money that wasn’t from Calder or Veda. Even if it came from Wells, it still felt different. Kinder.I was standing in the snack aisle, debating between two brands of oatmeal, when I heard the f

    Greer’s POVI stared at the message on her screen, hardly able to believe it.“Really?” I whispered, a genuine smile breaking across my face for the first time that day.“Yes!” Cassey laughed, looking just as thrilled. “They loved our brand story and the samples we sent. This is huge, Greer. There are going to be thousands of people there, potential customers, retailers, even beauty influencers. This could be our big break!”For a moment, all the stress about the mysterious money faded into the background. I pulled Cassey into a tight hug, both of us laughing with relief and excitement.“We’re really doing this,” I said, voice thick with emotion. “slowly, but we’re actually moving forward.”Cassey hugged me back fiercely. “We are. And we’re going to kill it at that trade fair. I’ll help you prepare everything. The branding, display setup, marketing materials. This is your moment, Greer.”I nodded, feeling a renewed surge of determination despite the strange cloud of the anonymous mon

    Greer’s POV“Wait— what?! Greer, slow down. Twenty-five million?! Okay, breathe. Yes, you need to go to the bank immediately. I’ll meet you there. Don’t touch the money. Don’t spend anything. We’ll sort this out."Thirty minutes later, I was at the bank, heart hammering in my chest as I sat across from a senior manager in a private office. Cassey sat beside me, holding my hand for support.“I’m telling you, this money isn’t mine,” I explained, my voice shaky. “There must have been a mix-up with the account numbers or something. I only run a very small beauty brand. I can’t possibly have twenty-five million dollars transferred to me.”The bank manager, a calm middle-aged man in a neat suit, checked his screen again and smiled politely.“Miss Greer, I understand your concern. But this transfer was not a mistake. The funds were intentionally deposited into your account this morning. It is specifically earmarked for the development and expansion of your beauty brand, Lumina Bloom."I star

    Greer’s POVThe confrontation with Veda still echoed in my head days later, but instead of breaking me, it solidified my decision. I couldn’t stay in that mansion any longer. Not even for one more week. Every corner reminded me of Calder’s control, Veda’s cruelty, and the version of myself I was desperately trying to leave behind. So I did something terrifying.I rented my own apartment. It was a beautiful, well-furnished one-bedroom unit in a quiet but decent neighborhood. The living room had large windows that let in plenty of natural light, a small kitchen with modern appliances, and a cozy bedroom with a walk-in closet. It even came with basic furniture; a sofa, dining table, and a comfortable bed. Exactly what I needed to start over. But renting it nearly wiped out almost all the money I had made from Lumina Bloom so far. I stared at my bank balance on my laptop screen, heart sinking. The deposit, first month’s rent, and moving costs had taken a massive bite. What was left was b

    Greer’s POVEvery tiny progress felt like a victory. On the fourth day, I met with a local chemist friend who helped me perfect two of my original formulations, a nourishing hydrating serum and a gentle brightening mask. I tested them on myself first, then nervously on Cassey. She was still cautious around me, still processing everything she had learned, but she showed up anyway, offering honest feedback while we labeled small sample jars together.“You’ve got that fire back,” she told me quietly one evening. “This feels like the Greer I used to know.”Her words gave me strength. By the end of the week, I had my first ten sample kits ready. My hands were shaking as I launched a simple Shopify website I had built myself. No fancy team. No big budget. Just me. When the site finally went live, I sat back in my chair and let out a long, shaky breath. It was real now. My business existed in the world again. It was small, fragile, but completely mine.That evening, when Calder came to see m

    Greer’s POV “I told you already,” I said, my tone calm but clear. “I am not looking for a relationship.”His expression did not fall, but I could tell he was paying attention to every word. “That does not mean I do not like spending time with you,” I added.He nodded slowly. “So… we take it slow?”

    Greer’s POV I looked away immediately. That sentence alone felt too close to everything I was trying to keep buried.“I have work to do,” I said simply. Then I turned and walked out before she could say anything else.I did not look back.***By lunchtime, I needed distance from everything. From V

    Greer’s POV “I said stop!”He did not listen. His lips brushed my neck instead, trying to drag me back into him, like he always did when he wanted something. Something inside me snapped. I brought my knee up and shoved him away at the same time. He staggered a step back, surprised more than hurt.

    Greer’s POV “Right now?” she snapped. “Are you blind? Can you not see that my husband and I are leaving for dinner?” Something inside me snapped violently at the word my husband. My breathing changed instantly. I walked toward her before I could stop myself.“It is important,” I said firmly. Veda
