Chadwick's POV

The hospital room had been a cage, but the house? The house was a sanctuary.

I sat in my wingback chair in the living room, the scent of expensive floor wax and Sarah’s floral perfume hanging in the air like a veil. My chest still throbbed a dull, rhythmic reminder of the shadow that had tried to put me in the ground but the pain was a secondary concern.

My primary concern was sitting across from me.

Danny.

He was tucked into the corner of the velvet sofa, his legs pulled up to

  • DESPISED AND DEVOURED BY MY STEP FATHER    Flowers From A Stranger

    Danny's POV I cried until my throat felt like I had swallowed a handful of thumbtacks. I cried until my eyes were so swollen I could barely see the cracks in the dorm ceiling. Eventually, the world just went gray, and I fell into a heavy, suffocating sleep.When the sun hit my face the next morning, I didn’t feel refreshed. I felt like a bruise.My phone was vibrating against the floor. Mom. I stared at her name on the screen. “Danny, please come home. We need to talk about the baby. I am worried about you.” Then another: “I am sending Chadwick to get you. Be ready.”I didn’t even have the energy to delete them. I just sat there, staring at the door.Thirty minutes later, the heavy, rhythmic thud of knuckles against wood started. It wasn’t a request. It was an order.I stood up, my legs feeling like lead, and pushed the desk away from the door. I turned the lock.Chadwick stood there. He looked perfect, as usual. Not a hair out of place, his suit crisp, his face a mask of cold, acade

  • DESPISED AND DEVOURED BY MY STEP FATHER    Discarded Danny

    Danny's POV Two weeks.That’s how long it takes for a person to turn into a ghost while they are still breathing.I had washed the black dye out of my hair. It took four rounds of scrubbing until my scalp was raw and red, but the blonde finally came back dull and stripped of its shine, just like me.I had popped the brown contacts out, too. My oceanic blue eyes were back, but when I looked in the mirror, they looked like a sea that had gone stagnant. Dead water.I was back to being the innocent Danny. The academically struggling student. The quiet stepson. But inside? Inside, I was a hollowed out shell, filled with nothing but the echoing sound of Chadwick’s voice calling me a slut.The lecture hall was freezing. Or maybe it was just me. I sat in my usual front row seat, my back straight, my notebook open. I didn't look at the podium. I didn't have to. I could feel Chadwick’s presence like a heavy, suffocating blanket. He hadn't called. He hadn't texted. He hadn't come to my dorm sin

  • DESPISED AND DEVOURED BY MY STEP FATHER    Useless Pawn

    Danny's POV The air in Chadwick’s office usually smelled like expensive mahogany and the kind of high end espresso that cost more than my weekly groceries. Today, it just smelled like ozone and a storm about to break.I stood there, my hands shoved deep into the pockets of my baggy black jeans. I could feel the fake mustache itching against my lip, and the black dye on my scalp felt tight, like a helmet. "I will ask you one more time," Chadwick’s voice was a low, dangerous vibration. He was standing behind his desk, his knuckles white as he gripped the edge of the wood. "Why are you dressed like this? What is this... charade?""Because I can, Sir," I said. My voice sounded small in the high ceilinged room, but I kept my eyes locked on his. "It’s my hair. My face. My life." "You will go to the bathroom, you will scrub that filth off your face, dress like my Danny and you will come home with me. Now.""No," I whispered, my lip trembling despite how hard I tried to be tough. "Do what

  • DESPISED AND DEVOURED BY MY STEP FATHER    Erase Danny

    Danny's POV The smell of Miguel’s expensive bourbon and that metallic, city air scent was still stuck in my throat. I sat on the edge of my dorm bed, staring at the wall until my vision blurred into gray static. I felt like a piece of meat that had been fought over by three different dogs, and now I was just... shredded. Left in the dirt.I wasn’t a person anymore. I was a pawn. A doll. A siren.Every time I closed my eyes, I felt the cold glass of that hotel window against my chest. I felt Miguel’s heavy weight, his rough hands, and that terrifying Daddy command that made me want to scrub my own skin off with steel wool. And if I wasn't thinking about him, I was thinking about Chadwick, my stepfather, who looked at me like I was a holy relic he wanted to defile in secret.My phone buzzed on the nightstand. Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.I didn’t even look. I knew it was them. Chadwick wondering why I wasn't home. Miguel checking if his trophy was still in one piece. Maybe even Leo, sending more

  • DESPISED AND DEVOURED BY MY STEP FATHER    My Little Siren

    Miguel's POVI stood at my window , the glass cold against my knuckles as I stared at the shimmering, jagged skyline of the city. Behind me, I could hear him breathing, shallow, hitched, terrified. Danny. My little siren. My biggest mistake.I didn’t turn around. I didn't have to. I could feel him in the air, the scent of that expensive, flowery soap he used and the underlying musk of pure, unadulterated fear. It did something to my blood. It made it run hot and thick, like liquid lead."Come here," I growled. My voice sounded like gravel grinding together. He was shaking. Good. He should be. I reached back without looking and grabbed a handful of that soft, blonde hair, yanking him toward the floor to ceiling glass."Look at it," I hissed, forcing his face toward the window. We were sixty stories up. Below us, the world was just a grid of tiny lights and ants crawling in metal boxes. "That’s the world, Danny. It’s big, it’s cold, and it doesn't give a fuck about you. Only I do. Onl

    Danny's POV The heavy scent of expensive cologne and stale cigarette smoke hit me the second the door to Suite 911 clicked shut. My heart wasn’t just beating, it was slamming against my ribs like a trapped bird trying to break its own wings.I looked down at myself. I felt like a fucking joke. An all red silk button down, tailored so slim it felt like a second skin, and black trousers. "You look pale, pretty boy," Miguel’s voice grated against the silence.He was leaning against the mini bar, a glass of amber liquid in one hand, the other tucked into the pocket of his dark slacks. He wasn't wearing a shirt, just that open leather vest that showed off the chaotic map of tattoos covering his chest and neck. The "M" on his throat seemed to pulse as he spoke."My boyfriend... Leo," I choked out, my voice thin and cracking. "He knows. He found out about... about me and Chadwick. He is going to tell everyone, Miguel. My mom, the school... everyone."I waited for a reaction. A flicker of p

    Danny's POV"Wait...wait, Sir," I gasped, my hands bracing against the cold, polished wood of the office door.I managed to wedge an arm between us, pushing against Chadwick's broad chest. The soft fabric of the professor's shirt, smooth under my trembling finger, but the heat radiating from him wa
