last update Last Updated: 2025-09-28 23:24:30

The walls of the Steele estate seemed to listen. Sierra had felt it before the uncanny sense that every word spoken here, every glance stolen in shadow, etched itself into the plaster and wood. Tonight, that sensation grew unbearable. The house itself felt alive with suspicion, as though its very beams and panels were straining under the weight of their secret.

Damien’s voice broke through the silence, low, sharp, urgent. “We can’t keep going like this, Sierra. Not like this. One misstep, one loose word, and everything we’ve built will come down on us.”

She turned to him, her body taut with defiance even as her heart hammered with fear. “Then stop looking at me that way. Stop touching me. Stop pulling me back every time I try to breathe.”

He flinched, as if her words had cut deeper than any blade. But even in that moment, his eyes betrayed him. Hungry. Possessive. The eyes of a man who couldn’t let go, who wouldn’t let go.

The silence stretched. Somewhere down the hall, her mother’s l

    Sierra’s hands trembled as she held the envelope with her mother’s code. The numbers swirled in her mind, each digit etched into her memory, yet every beat of her heart reminded her that Damien was closer than ever. He had been there all along, a shadow pressing into her awareness, a phantom weight she couldn’t shake.She crouched in the dimly lit lobby, her eyes flicking toward the door where she had glimpsed him. Damien’s green eyes glimmered faintly in the shadows, his expression unreadable, calm, and impossibly controlled. Every instinct screamed at her to run, to flee, yet she couldn’t. She had come too far. Every risk, every choice, every step had led her to this moment.The ally pressed gently on her shoulder. “You have one chance. Breathe. Focus.”Sierra nodded, swallowing the lump in her throat. She slid toward the small reception desk, the envelope trembling in her hands. The drawer had been marked subtly in her mother’s notebook; the sequence of numbers would unlock the saf

  • Don't Stop, Daddy   Chapter 111: Shadows of the Past

    The small town appeared almost asleep beneath the pale glow of streetlights. Damp streets glimmered under the remnants of rain, and the air carried the faint scent of wet asphalt and wood smoke from distant chimneys. Sierra leaned back in the passenger seat of the ally’s car, gripping the strap of the backpack so tightly her knuckles whitened. Every mile that carried her further from Damien’s house also carried her closer to the truth but it also carried risk.Her chest tightened with anticipation and fear. She glanced at the ally driving silently beside her. “How much farther?” she asked, voice barely above a whisper.“Not far now,” the ally replied. Their eyes were alert, scanning the dark streets for anything unusual. “Just keep calm. He’s clever watching isn’t his only skill.”Sierra swallowed hard. Damien. Even imagining him now made her stomach knot. His presence wasn’t physical, but she could feel it, a phantom weight pressing at the edges of her mind. He’s always there. Even w

  • Don't Stop, Daddy   Chapter 110: The Chase Tightens

    The city at night was alive with shadows, each corner hiding possibility, each flickering streetlight a potential betrayer. Sierra pressed herself against the alley wall, lungs burning, heart hammering in her chest as the alley beside her whispered directions. The bag with Vivian’s belongings thumped against her side with each hurried step, a constant reminder of the weight she carried not just physically, but emotionally.“Keep low,” the ally murmured, voice tight with urgency. “We’re almost there, but he could be anywhere.”Sierra’s eyes darted constantly. Every glint of reflective glass, every sound of a passing car, every distant footstep made her flinch. Damien was a phantom in her mind, always present, always watching, even though he was somewhere blocks away or perhaps closer.She swallowed hard. I have to do this. I have to find her. I can’t let him stop me.Damien’s perspective;She’s moving. Following the trail. Following the notes. Following her mother’s whispers.I can fee

  • Don't Stop, Daddy   Chapter 109: Crossing the Line

    The house had never felt smaller. Every shadow loomed like a warning. Every floorboard creak sounded like a scream. Sierra pressed herself against the wall, heart hammering, backpack clutched tight against her chest. The storm was gone, leaving behind wet streets and the sharp scent of rain. But the storm inside her chest hadn’t settled. It churned, relentless.She could still hear the faint pounding from the visitor at the door, their shouts fading slowly as the figure had finally left or so she assumed. The adrenaline, though, refused to ease. The bag in her arms was heavier than ever, filled with the remnants of her mother’s careful escape plan: notebook, hotel key card, and a few bills tangible proof that Vivian had thought this through.Sierra swallowed hard. Every instinct told her to stay, to obey, to never move beyond the shadows of Damien’s gaze. But the words from the note echoed in her mind.Not safe in this house. And if that was true, staying was no longer an option.Dami

  • Don't Stop, Daddy   Chapter 108: Pursuit in the Shadows

    The knocking at the door hadn’t stopped. Each strike felt louder than the last, echoing through the halls of the house like a relentless drumbeat of dread. Sierra’s heart hammered in her chest as she clutched the small backpack against her side. Inside, Vivian’s notebook and key card pressed tightly against her ribcage, a secret weight she couldn’t ignore. Every instinct screamed at her to act, to move, to follow the trail her mother had left behind. But the moment she thought about Damien’s gaze, cold, calculating, impossibly sharp her courage faltered.The storm had passed hours ago, leaving behind a soaked world, dripping eaves, and the smell of wet asphalt and rain-washed air. Yet the house itself felt suffocating, trapped in shadows and silence. Every corner seemed to hold its own threat. Every creak of the floorboards made her flinch. She had never felt more vulnerable, more exposed in her own home.Damien’s shadow stretched across the staircase like a pillar of control. He had

  • Don't Stop, Daddy   Chapter 107: Secrets In The Shadows

    The house was quiet. Too quiet.Sierra moved through the corridors like a shadow herself, tracing the cracks in the floorboards she had memorized since childhood. Every room carried the echoes of the storm, of her mother’s scream, of Damien’s carefully controlled calm. She hated it and feared it, both at once.She stopped in the study, where Damien’s papers still lay in chaotic disarray from last night. A single envelope sat slightly apart from the rest, edges damp where the storm had leaked in. She knelt, hesitating before picking it up. Her fingers trembled not from the chill, but from something far deeper. The fear of being discovered.Inside, a note in Vivian’s handwriting fluttered against the damp envelope. Only a few words, hurried, desperate.“If anything happens to me, follow the truth. She’s not safe in this house.”Sierra’s breath caught. She read it again, slower this time. “Not safe… in this house.” Her pulse spiked. Her mother hadn’t just fled. She had planned something.
