Lisa's pov

I read the message again, then again, waiting for the words to lose their meaning. They didn't. Each time, the threat looked worse. Someone knew about the investigation, knew I was involved, and believed losing me would be enough to make Erin stop. My fingers tightened around his phone as I looked up at him.

“You need to stay away from this for now,” Erin said, reaching for the phone with a worried crease between his brows. “Let me deal with whoever sent it. Until we know who we're

  • Break Me, Step-Daddy    173~THE PERSON THEY TRUST

    Lisa's pov Julie’s warning stayed with me long after the call ended. The person I should fear was the one who already knew everything I had told them. I kept replaying the words, trying to decide whether they sounded like a threat, a confession, or another attempt to frighten me into silence. None of the possibilities made me feel safer.Erin watched me from across the room, his expression growing more serious with every passing second. Megan sat beside Brandon, waiting for me to explain what Julie had said. The silence pressed against me until I finally placed my phone on the table and looked at them.“Julie said someone inside the investigation might be watching us,” I explained, keeping my voice controlled. “She also said the person already knows everything we’ve told them. She sounded afraid, but she was hiding something too. She recognized Ralph’s name before I explained what I had found.”Megan leaned forward, her fingers resting against the edge of her notebook. “Those were he

    Lisa's pov I read the message again, then again, waiting for the words to lose their meaning. They didn't. Each time, the threat looked worse. Someone knew about the investigation, knew I was involved, and believed losing me would be enough to make Erin stop. My fingers tightened around his phone as I looked up at him.“You need to stay away from this for now,” Erin said, reaching for the phone with a worried crease between his brows. “Let me deal with whoever sent it. Until we know who we're facing, you shouldn't put yourself in more danger.”I pulled the phone against my chest, anger rising faster than fear. “That's what everyone says when they want me out of the way,” I replied, stepping back from him. “They call it protection, but it always ends with me being the last person to know what's happening.”Erin's expression changed, but I wasn't finished. I had heard that excuse too many times, from too many people, and I was tired of pretending it didn't hurt.“Bruce said he was prot

  • Break Me, Step-Daddy    171~THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH

    Erin's pov Megan refused to let us settle on Ralph as the answer. She stood beside the conference table, arms crossed, while Brandon spread George’s records across the surface. “We need to consider every possibility,” Megan insisted, tapping the folder with one finger. “The person who opened that file could be connected to Ralph, Bruce, the old investigation, or someone trying to keep the truth buried.”I glanced at the hidden file details again, hoping the simplest explanation would finally make sense. Ralph had a reason to be involved, and his name had already appeared in George’s notes. But Megan was right. The original investigation had suffered because people decided what they wanted to believe before they had enough facts.“You're saying Ralph might not be the person who accessed it?” I asked, looking at Megan as she pulled a chair toward the table.“I'm saying we don't know that yet,” she answered, settling into the chair. “And if we build everything around that assumption, we

  • Break Me, Step-Daddy    170~THE FILE THAT DISAPPEARED

    Brandon's povI pulled up the official records and started with the reference number George had written in his notes. I didn't rush through the search. Every page, transfer request, and access record had to be documented properly. If we found something important, nobody could later dismiss it by claiming I had accessed the information improperly or ignored the correct procedure.The missing section appeared under a separate investigation connected to Ralph. At first, that seemed ordinary enough. Several cases involved the same names, and files were often moved when investigators discovered overlapping information. But the date of the transfer made me pause. It happened before George's murder investigation had officially been connected to Ralph.I checked the date again, then compared it with the timeline of George's work. The information had been separated before anyone publicly understood how important the connection might be. That didn't prove someone had planned to hide it, but it

  • Break Me, Step-Daddy    169~THE PART THEY LEFT OUT

    Erin's pov The following morning, Lisa called me before I had finished my coffee. Her voice sounded steady, but I could hear the tiredness beneath it. She asked me to meet her at Megan’s place, along with Brandon. She didn't explain much over the phone, only said she had something important to show us. By the time I arrived, she was already waiting.Lisa sat beside Megan at the dining table, with the authorization document placed carefully in front of her. Brandon stood near the window, scrolling through his phone. Megan had several files open, and the room carried the quiet tension of people who knew the next conversation could change everything.“What did Julie tell you?” I asked, taking the empty chair beside Lisa. “And please, Lisa, tell us exactly what she said. Don't leave anything out, but don't add anything either.”Lisa nodded, resting both hands on the document. “She admitted she knew more about the old case than she had claimed. She said Bruce was afraid of someone with en

  • Break Me, Step-Daddy    168~About Bruce

    Lisa's pov I stopped at the doorway when Julie called my name, but I didn't turn around immediately. My hand stayed on the doorknob as I reminded myself not to rush back into the room. Whenever I reacted too quickly, she found a way to control the conversation.“Lisa, come back here,” Julie called, her voice weaker as she shifted beneath the blanket. “Please. We need to finish talking.”I turned slowly and walked back into the room, but I didn't sit beside her. I pulled the chair opposite the bed closer and lowered myself into it. Julie watched me with tired eyes, one hand gripping the blanket. She looked fragile, but I knew better than to confuse weakness with innocence.“Who was making the final decisions?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest. “You said Bruce was afraid of someone. Who was giving the orders?”Julie looked down at the blanket and rubbed her thumb over the fabric. “I don't know,” she replied, her voice barely audible.The answer came too quickly. Her fingers tig

  • Break Me, Step-Daddy    Two: Night

    Lisa's povI froze right there in the hallway after Erin whispered those filthy words into my ear. My whole body shook and I could not move for a second. My pussy clenched hard and more wetness soaked my panties until they felt sticky against my skin. My nipples stayed so hard they hurt and my bre

    Lisa's pov I stood in the large living room of our family mansion in New York City and waited for my mother to come home after her long time away in Greece.My sister sat next to me on the couch and turned to me with a grin. "Do you think Mom will bring any gifts from her trip?"I smiled back at h

    Lisa's pov:Erin had shoved Bruce against the wall, his fist folded and pointed in his face to either break a bone or sound a warning.Mum and I stood on the side, watching as both men were ready to throw dangerous punches at each other. So I stepped in and pulled Bruce by the side.His arms automa

  • Break Me, Step-Daddy    Three: Kisses

    Lisa's povI sat up straight on my bed the second Erin stepped into my room and closed the door behind him with a soft click that echoed like a gunshot in the quiet house. My heart slammed against my ribs so hard I thought it might break through, and my pussy throbbed with a fresh rush of heat that
