Cierra's POV

The moment I saw Blinky standing with Dominic, my breath caught in my throat. My stepdad’s cold, unreadable expression mixed with Blinky’s tense posture sent dread crawling slowly down my spine.

I barely had time to comprehend what they were discussing when a firm hand clamped around my arm.

I spun around...heart practically leaping out of my chest, only to see George standing there.

His eyes narrowed. “I thought you didn’t want to come in here.”

I swallowed hard, forcing my heartbeat to calm. “Uh...I was looking for you. I thought something happened.”

He studied my face a little too deeply, like he was peeling back every lie I tried to stitch together.

I turned my head quickly and asked, “How did you even know I was here?”

He sighed. “Dad’s guard said he stopped by earlier, so I thought I should search around here and boom! I saw you, princessa.”

I nodded, playing along. “Right… but why would he be here?”

George rubbed the back of his neck. “Listen, I know my Dad can b

  • All That Glitters Is My StepDad.   Chapter 29: Scream Your Last Goodbye.

    Cierra's POVThe hand extended toward me hovered in midair...steady, warm, patient.I stared at it, blinked once, then sighed as realization hit me like a slap.Of course.Him.The same guy I had a reckless one-night stand with.The same guy whose kisses I used to distract my boss.The same guy who had been stupidly good tonight...annoyingly good...but still, a girl deserved peace after chaos.“I’m fine,” I muttered, wiping my eyes quickly. “No thank you. I’ll pass on the hug.”He didn’t withdraw his hand. Instead, he crouched down until his face was level with mine. Before I could look away, his fingers slid under my chin and lifted gently.“Are you crying?” he asked softly. “Cierra, I’m… I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have pushed you into doing anything with me and...”“No.” I cut him off immediately, shaking my head. “We’re not doing this. That night never happened. We’re trashing it. Mistake deleted. Deal?”I raised my little finger toward him.He smiled, dimples flashing. “I thought it w

  • All That Glitters Is My StepDad.   Chapter 28: Birds Of The Same Feather.

    Blinky's POV I kept my expression unreadable as Mr. Dominic towered over me, his eyes sharp enough to cut straight through every lie I had ever told.“No, sir. I have no idea who you’re speaking about,” I said calmly.A clean lie.A necessary lie.Because even though Cierra and I had drifted apart, maybe even fallen apart...there was no universe in which I would expose her. Not after everything she’d gotten tangled in… especially with him.He was her stepdad now, at least publicly, and for reasons I did not understand, he wanted her desperately. Too desperately. And it terrified me.His gaze lingered, searching my face like he expected the truth to crawl out of my pores.“So you’re saying there’s no dancer by the name MB here?”I exhaled quietly behind my mask. If he saw my real face right now, if he connected that the person who once ran into him with Cierra was me?The chaos…The drama…Not worth imagining.“Sir,” I said lightly, “that name doesn’t ring a bell in this club.”He did

  • All That Glitters Is My StepDad.   Chapter 26: What Next?

    Cierra's POV I kept my eyes glued to the window, watching cars slice through the night like they had no problems in the world. People walked past the club...laughing, shouting, drunk, excited, living their lives with a freedom I couldn’t even pretend to have. My mind was a tight knot of panic, shame, and exhaustion.George’s hand slid into mine.“Baby… you okay?”I nodded, but it was a lie.I was cooked. Beyond cooked. Burnt, done, finished.Going back into that club felt like walking into a fire with gasoline dripping down my back. Yes, maybe Dominic hadn’t recognized me at the hospital...maybe the mask and the lights and the chaos of that night we made out hid me, but what if someone called my work name? Silver. Mallory. My boss. Anyone. Chelsea, especially Chelsea, that demon reincarnated in human form.One shout of “Midnight Ballerina!”And boom...my entire life would collapse like a badly built house.I swallowed the fear rising in my throat.“George…” My voice cracked a lit

  • All That Glitters Is My StepDad.   Chapter 25: Secrets served in cold plates.

    George's POV I stared at her, and for a moment I genuinely hated myself. Hated that I still loved this woman after everything.Don’t get me wrong, I know what I am. I know exactly how many times I betrayed her, how many times I messed up. I never pretended to be perfect. But I always cleaned up after my disasters. I always came back home. I always returned to her.Yet here I was...wounded, furious, and still hopelessly in love.And what broke me the most wasn’t the idea of her with another man. It was the fact that the man was him.Dominic.My father...not by blood, but by the twisted situation that had shaped our lives. To the world he was my father. To reality, more like an older brother. But titles didn’t matter right now. Betrayal did.I swallowed hard, forcing out the words.“So… how many times have you made out with my dad?”Cierra hissed sharply. “No, don’t you dare act like a victim. Not when you...of all people, cheated on me at the very moment you should’ve been trying to

  • All That Glitters Is My StepDad.   Chapter 24: Who Cares?

    Cierra's POVThe moment the door swung open, my whole soul dropped into my stomach.I hissed under my breath, realizing the door wasn’t even locked in the first place.I turned toward Dominic, heart beating too loudly in my chest.My voice came out in a whisper, thin and shaky.“I thought you locked the door.”Dominic let out a low sigh... that deep, unimpressed kind he does when he’s already three steps ahead of everyone else.“It’s a card-lock door,” he murmured, barely moving his lips, eyes fixed on whatever silhouette stood behind me. “Whoever opened that… is the same person who brought you here. The human was handed a card...It’s the rule.”I blinked.My pulse was punching against my ribs.“Fuck,” I whispered. "Don’t worry...I got this...you don't need to swim in regret.”He let out a soft scoff, smoothing down his shirt like he wasn’t even fazed.“Regret?” he muttered. “Do I look like someone worried about regret?”No.No, he didn’t.He never did.His aura alone could swallow a
