The house shimmered with light and laughter. From the chandeliers above to the flicker of candles on every table, everything had been polished into perfection. Vanessa believed in appearances always had and tonight her home gleamed like a stage set, every detail curated to impress.

For Sierra, it felt like walking into a trap.

She stood at the top of the staircase, fingers clutching the railing as her eyes swept the room below. Guests mingled across the living room, glasses of champagne in hand, their voices carrying the ease of wealth and security. But beneath their elegant laughter, Sierra felt her mother’s eyes sharp, assessing, predatory.

Her dress, a pale silver satin slip, clung softly to her frame. Vanessa had chosen it, insisting it brought out her complexion. Sierra hadn’t argued. She never argued. But as she descended the stairs, the weight of Damien’s gaze hit her like a brand, and she realized why her mother had pushed for this choice.

Damien stood by the bar, speaking wit

  • Don't Stop, Daddy   Chapter 41: A Picture Worth Breaking

    The morning light flooded the penthouse, pale and merciless. Sierra sat at the dining table, her untouched coffee cooling in front of her. The city sprawled beyond the glass windows, a glittering trap she couldn’t escape.Vanessa was humming softly in the kitchen, moving with the serenity of someone who had already won the game. She placed a plate of sliced fruit between them, her smile gentle, her eyes unreadable.“You’ve always been so photogenic, Sierra,” she said suddenly. “Do you remember the picture from last night?”Sierra’s throat tightened.“I’ve had it printed.” Vanessa’s smile widened as she slid a small envelope across the table. “I thought it deserved a frame.”Sierra’s trembling hands pulled it open. There was a photo from the restaurant. Damien’s arm around her shoulders, his body angled just slightly closer than a father’s should be. Her wide eyes, her flushed cheeks. The picture radiated something dangerous, something undeniable.Her stomach turned to stone.“Beautifu

  • Don't Stop, Daddy   Chapter 40: Into The City

    The drive back to the city felt longer than Sierra remembered. The lake house faded into the distance, swallowed by trees and silence, while the skyline of steel and glass grew larger with every passing mile.Sierra sat in the backseat, her hands twisted tightly in her lap. Damien drove, his posture relaxed, his eyes sharp on the road. Vanessa sat in the passenger seat, sunglasses shielding her gaze, her lips curved in the faintest smile.It felt like being transported from one battlefield to another.ArrivalTheir penthouse waited like a mausoleum of glass and steel. The doorman greeted them warmly, but Sierra swore he looked at her too long, his gaze lingering on her trembling hands.The elevator ride stretched endlessly. Vanessa hummed softly, her smile serene. Damien was silent. Sierra’s pulse thundered in her ears.When the elevator doors opened, the penthouse’s polished floors gleamed. Everything was too bright, too open. There were no dark corners to hide in.“Home,” Vanessa sa

  • Don't Stop, Daddy   Chapter 39: The Trap Is Set

    The lake house seemed quieter after Sunday night, but it wasn’t a peaceful silence. It was the quiet of a predator watching from the shadows. Sierra felt it in every room, in every glance from her mother.Vanessa had closed the box, but not the suspicion. She was waiting for them to stumble, waiting for a mistake she could catch in her hands like prey.And Sierra could feel herself slipping closer and closer to giving her one.Breakfast TensionMonday morning was deceptively ordinary. Vanessa prepared pancakes, her movements graceful, her humming soft. But Sierra could feel her mother’s gaze lingering.Damien sat at the head of the table, reading the paper. He looked unbothered, but Sierra could see the subtle way his jaw clenched.“Would you pass the syrup, Sierra?” Vanessa asked.Her voice was gentle, almost too gentle. Sierra obeyed, sliding the syrup across the table. Vanessa smiled, her eyes never leaving Sierra’s trembling hands.“You’re so nervous lately, darling. Are your stud

  • Don't Stop, Daddy   Chapter 38: The Box Opens

    Chapter 38 – The Box OpensSunday arrived heavy and thick, as though the world held its breath. The air inside the lake house was suffocating. Time dragged cruelly, another weight pressing down on Sierra’s chest each hour.She woke early, her sheets damp with sweat. Her mother’s words whispered in her mind like poison: By Sunday night, Sierra. The truth or the box opens.She thought she might vomit from fear.The Long DayThe morning passed in brittle silence. Vanessa moved through the kitchen in her robe, humming softly, setting the coffee pot like it was any other day. Damien sat at the table with his tablet, his posture unnervingly calm.Sierra sat in between, her hands wrapped tightly around her mug, her eyes on the table.“Beautiful day,” Vanessa said, smiling. “We should enjoy it. Perhaps a family dinner tonight? Something… special.”Damien’s green eyes flicked up briefly. “As you wish.”Vanessa’s smile widened, sweet as honey, deadly as venom.Sierra’s stomach twisted. Dinner.

  • Don't Stop, Daddy   Chapter 37: Breaking Point

    The countdown to Sunday ticked louder in Sierra’s head with every passing hour. Even the air felt heavy, as though the house itself knew it was waiting for an explosion.She couldn’t escape her mother’s eyes. At breakfast, at dinner, even in silence across the living room Vanessa’s gaze lingered, patient, sharp, like a blade being polished. Each look said the same thing: I see you. I know you. I’m waiting.Sierra found herself trembling at the smallest sound. A door creaking open, a drawer sliding shut. Every noise felt like a threat.A Sudden InvitationThat afternoon, Vanessa appeared in Sierra’s doorway without knocking. She leaned against the frame, her figure elegant in a cream silk blouse, her smile effortless.“Walk with me,” she said.It wasn’t a request.Sierra’s stomach twisted, but she rose. The two of them stepped outside, the sun painting gold over the lake, the air fresh with pine. It should have been peaceful, but every step beside her mother was suffocating.“You’ve gr

  • Don't Stop, Daddy   Chapter 36: Ultimatumm

    The lake house no longer felt like a sanctuary. It felt like a cage. The windows, wide and clear, seemed to watch Sierra with her mother’s eyes. The walls pressed closer each night. Even the quiet lapping of the lake sounded like a clock counting down, each wave echoing tick, tick, tick.Sunday. That was the deadline. By Sunday night, Vanessa expected the truth or she would use what she had. Sierra could hardly breathe beneath the weight of it.Damien had told her not to panic, to obey, to endure. But how was she supposed to endure when every look from her mother burned like acid on her skin?A Fragile MorningVanessa cooked breakfast the next day, humming softly as she worked. Bacon sizzled in the pan, eggs steamed, and toast popped up golden. She moved with such grace it was almost cruel, as though she were a hostess preparing for guests instead of a wife plotting her family’s destruction.Sierra sat at the counter, her hands wrapped tightly around her mug of coffee. She could barel
