last update Tanggal publikasi: 2026-02-16 19:32:59

Cierra sat stiffly on the edge of the chair in Jamal’s mother’s private room. Her hands were folded in her lap, her stomach twisting with nerves and fear.

She kept thinking about everything that had happened...the chaos at the mansion, Chelsea’s death, the gunshot, and how Jamal had dragged her out through the darkness to safety. Now, sitting in front of Jamal’s mother, she felt a new kind of fear. It was heavier, colder, and sharper than anything she had felt before.

  • All That Glitters Is My StepDad.   Chapter 100: The Man After My Heart.

    Cierra's POV The gunshot still rang in my ears like thunder that wouldn’t stop.I stood frozen in the small underground room, naked, wrists still bound by Dominic’s belt, the smoking gun heavy in my hand. Dominic was on his knees in front of me, blood spreading across his chest like a dark flower. His grey eyes looked up at me, wide with shock and something that looked almost like pride.He whispered, voice breaking, “Cierra…”His body swayed, then collapsed forward onto the concrete floor with a heavy thud. Blood pooled under him fast.I stared at him, heart hammering so loud I could barely hear anything else. I had killed him.The man who had owned me, fucked me, lied to me, and made me choose the darkness...I had just shot him in the chest.Before I could even breathe, loud knocking started on the steel door.Bang. Bang. Bang.A guard shouted from outside, “Boss! Open up! We heard shots!”The knocking grew louder, more urgent. The door handle rattled hard.Fear exploded in my che

  • All That Glitters Is My StepDad.   Chapter 99: Take Off Your Clothes.

    Diego's POV I woke up to the sharp sting of fluorescent lights and the steady beep of machines that felt like they were counting down the seconds until my head split open.My forehead throbbed under the thick bandage, and when I tried to sit up, the room tilted like the car crash was still happening. I blinked hard, focusing on the white ceiling tiles, then slowly turned my head.A nurse stood beside my bed, checking the IV drip, her scrubs pale blue and her smile gentle but tired.On the other side of the curtain, Mallory lay sleeping in the next bed...her left wrist in a brace, lip swollen and stitched, breathing slow and even under the thin hospital blanket.I asked, voice rough from the tube they’d had down my throat earlier, “How long have I been out?”The nurse answered calmly, setting the clipboard down, “About four hours, Mr. Diego. You have a mild concussion and eight stitches above your eyebrow. You’re stable, but we need to keep you overnight for observation.”I pushed the

  • All That Glitters Is My StepDad.   Chapter 98: Gun, Lust, Betrayal.

    Cierra's POV The hidden tunnel was narrow and cold, concrete walls slick with dampness.Dominic’s grip on my hand was iron-tight as we ran, his blood soaking through the bandage on his arm with every step.We burst through a steel door into a small underground safe room... dim bulb overhead, one cot, a table with weapons laid out like they had been waiting for us.I slammed the door and locked it. Silence fell, thick and heavy. Dominic leaned against the wall, breathing hard, blood dripping onto the floor. His grey eyes found mine.“You chose me back there,” he said, voice rough. “You fought for me. You stabbed a cop for me.”I walked to the table and picked up a loaded pistol, feeling its weight. The knife from the bathroom was still tucked in my waistband, but this felt more honest now.I turned and raised the gun, pointing it straight at his chest.“I did,” I said, voice steady. “And now I’m wondering if that was the biggest mistake of my life.”His eyebrows lifted. A slow, danger

  • All That Glitters Is My StepDad.   Chapter 97: A Bloody Apartment.

    Cierra's POV The gunshot still rang in my ears long after it faded, a sharp crack that seemed to split the air inside the penthouse and echo inside my skull.I sat huddled on the wet bathroom floor, knees drawn tight to my chest, cold water pouring over my shoulders in relentless sheets.The small cut I had made below my breast stung with every breath, a thin line of blood mixing with the spray and running down my stomach in pale pink trails that swirled toward the drain.The knife lay on the marble just inches from my fingers, blade shining under the overhead light, waiting for me to decide what came next.I had pressed it to my skin only moments ago, ready to end everything before the police could drag me away, before Dominic’s world could swallow me completely or spit me back out broken.But the moment the shot rang out, the knife had slipped from my hand and clattered to the floor. Now it stared up at me like a question I couldn’t answer.Outside the locked bathroom door, the pen

  • All That Glitters Is My StepDad.   Chapter 96: I Was Born For It.

    Cierra's POV The water had already turned cold, but I hadn’t moved to shut it off.I stood frozen beneath the spray, arms wrapped tightly around my own body, the knife still clenched in my right hand like a lifeline I wasn’t sure I wanted.The blade caught the bathroom light and threw thin silver reflections across the wet black marble, flickering every time my hand trembled.My reflection in the fogged glass door looked like someone else entirely...eyes too wide, mouth slack, wet hair plastered to my face, the stitches at my temple dark and angry against pale skin.I hadn’t decided what to do with the knife yet.I hadn’t decided anything.Outside the bathroom door, the penthouse had gone quiet for a moment...too quiet, then the pounding started again, louder, more insistent. Heavy fists against the front door. Official voices cutting through the walls.“This is the police! Open the door immediately!” The voice commanded.My heart lurched so violently I gasped out loud. The knife sli

  • All That Glitters Is My StepDad.   Chapter 95: Come Clean, Or Die Trying.

    Cierra's POV The bedroom felt heavy and quiet after everything we had done, the air thick with the lingering scent of sweat, sex, and his cologne.My body still ached in places I didn’t want to think about..places he had touched, claimed, reminded me belonged to him..but my mind refused to stay silent, spinning with questions I was almost too afraid to voice.I turned my head slowly toward him.Dominic was standing at the foot of the bed, buttoning his black shirt with careful, deliberate movements, the fabric sliding over the muscles of his shoulders like it had been made to fit him perfectly.“Where is Greg? and where is George...” I asked quietly, my voice barely breaking the stillness.He paused mid-button, his fingers freezing for just a heartbeat. Then he turned fully to face me, grey eyes finding mine in the dim glow of the lamp.“Greg is safe,” he said softly, the words calm and measured.I pushed myself up on one elbow, the sheet slipping down to my waist. “You said he was h

    Cierra's POV I watched the man who was meant to be my saviour walk away, his back disappearing into the noise and lights of the club. The space he left behind felt louder than the music itself. And just like that, I was alone with the one man I never wanted to see again.I hissed, my fingers cur

    Cierra's POV “I need to tell you something.”The words finally broke free from my chest just as he lifted his glass, taking the last slow sip of wine like he had all the time in the world. He set it down gently, nodded once, and looked at me with that calm, unreadable expression of his.“Sure,” h

Conversations froze, laughter evaporated, breaths were held. Slowly, heads turned toward the doorway.And there he wa
